Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

Chapter 396: High Status

When the old man finished speaking, the others replied solemnly, “Yes, my Lord.”

“I will leave this matter to you.” The old man looked at one of them.

“Yes.” That person immediately got up and bowed respectfully.

“If you fail, you know what to do right?” The old man asked indifferently. Even though his tone was light, there was a cold menace that lurked behind it.

“I know.” The man trembled slightly but nodded his head.

The old man turned around and left, and the others quickly got up to send him off.

Ling Chuxi and the rest left the competition arena and headed straight to the gambling den. No doubt Ling Chuxi had made a huge fortune out of this trip to Ding Lin Country, and Li Shaoqiu who had almost pawned his underwear off had also made a pot of money. He was laughing and crying as he held onto a huge stack of gold notes. He furtively stuffed them up his sleeves as if fearful of being seen.

“Just look at you.” Ling Chuxi was studying Li Shaoqiu’s appearance contemptuously. He was a ‘rich second generation’, as well as the offspring of an official. Looking at his appearance, one really did not know what to say.

“Tonight at Gathering Immortals Restaurant. My treat!” Li Shaoqiu wiped his tears and declared happily.

“Generous. Master Li, you are really generous,” Ling Chuxi quickly said, changing her disgusted scowl into a brilliant smile. Her speed in changing her expression really took one’s breath away.

Ling Yichen and Baili Han laughed helplessly. They looked at each other and shook their heads. Who was the one that was not reliable? Who was the one that had ‘laid down arms and guns to surrender and yield’ upon seeing gourmet food?

As they exited the Gathering Immortals Restaurant, the magnificent lights were already lit. A modest but majestic looking carriage was waiting at the door.

“Miss Ling, excuse me. My master would like to meet you!” When he saw Ling Chuxi and the rest come out of the restaurant, a middle-aged man dressed as a servant went over to them and spoke pleasantly.

“Your master?” Ling Chuxi looked at the man carefully. She did not have any impression of him yet, but he clearly had a cultivation of Battle Qi Level-9. Such powerful cultivation, yet he was willing to just be a servant. Who exactly was this person he called master?

“Are you from Wu Feng Hall?” The envoy exclaimed when he saw a design on the carriage.

Ling Chuxi had heard people talking about Wu Feng Hall – it was Ding Lin Country’s special place for top notch experts. It held a pivotal status in Ding Lin Country and its position was even higher than the palace imperial guards. If one could enter Ding Lin Country’s Wu Feng Hall, it was the greatest honor for a cultivator. If people from Wu Feng Hall were present, even the members of the royal family of Ding Lin Country would dismount from their horses to greet them respectfully.

“That’s right. My master is Mister Ren from Wu Feng Hall,” the middle-aged man agreed.

“Ren Youran!” The envoy exclaimed again.

“It would be wise if you did not simply say my master’s respected name out loud,” the man said to the envoy with a slight warning in his tone.

“Mister Ren was originally a citizen of Nan Xia Country. I’m not sure which part of Ding Lin Country’s laws I broke by mentioning his respected name,” the envoy said snidely, obviously holding back his anger.

“This is Ding Lin Country. Mister Ren belongs to Ding Lin Country’s Wu Feng Hall now,” the middle-aged man said arrogantly.

“Hmph!” The envoy snorted. His expression darkened but he did not say anything further.

Ren Youran was once an amazing talent of Nan Xia Country. His fame had spread far and wide to the surrounding countries and he had once represented Nan Xia Country in the great assessment competition. That was also the one year in Nan Xia Country’s history that they had the greatest hope of becoming the champion (this year did not count because before the competition, practically no one thought that Ling Chuxi and the rest could win; they did not even have much hope of getting a ranking). However, right before the competition started, Ren Youran had unexpectedly joined Wu Feng Hall of Ding Lin Country. This caused Nan Xia Country to suffer a crushing defeat, and they had never really recovered from the setback.
