Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

“Very well. All of you better remember well what happened today,” spat the veiled lady in an extraordinarily gloomy and cold manner after keeping mum for a while. She had finally decided not to take action and instead give a word of warning. No need to mention her, but even her grandmother, the palace master of Cold Moon Palace would not dare to break the rules the main sects established. Otherwise, it would invoke a group attack involving all of the great sects upon them and might even result in such a disaster as the extermination of their sect. No matter how proud and tyrannical she was, the importance of this matter’s consequences was something that she could still differentiate clearly.

After saying this, the veiled lady turned around and left.

“Why would I bother to remember? It’s not like I’m the one who took a loss,” giggled Ling Chuxi. Not only had she not taken a loss, she had even ridiculed her opponent to the point where her opponent was angered half to death.

Ever since her cultivation improved, Ling Chuxi was more used to using her martial arts prowess to solve problems. Now, she suddenly realized that occasionally gaining advantage by using her verbal prowess was also quite enjoyable. Either way, she had given the veiled lady a thorough face slapping.

“You better remember my name—Qing Lingyan,” said the lady suddenly, turning around and speaking to Ling Chuxi through gritted teeth.

“What a pleasant name,” replied Ling Chuxi seriously with a nod. “Since you have told me your name, then I should also bear all the pain this causes me and in all seriousness tell you something as well. Just now when you said you weren’t crazy, it was merely an act of self-comfort, wasn’t it?”

“You…” Qing Lingyan was so angry that her entire body started trembling. Her fist clenched and released, clenched and released, till she finally let out a long breath and stabilized her emotions before turning around and leaving.

“Chuxi, your tongue is too sharp, you have truly offended her,” said Su Yizhi as he shook his head with a bitter laugh. Only now did he realize that Ling Chuxi’s tongue was so venomous as he saw Qing Lingyan’s figure disappear into the distance.

“If I didn’t offend her, then would she be willing to let off Resurrection Hall?” asked Ling Chuxi.

Su Yizhi shook his head.

“Isn’t it fine, then? Either way, the outcome would be the same without my offending her.” said Ling Chuxi with a laugh. “Since the outcome is the same regardless for now, then why not discuss further only after gaining some advantage?”

“That’s true too. However, the people of Cold Moon Palace are very petty and would definitely take revenge over any small acts of offense against them. In the future, you have to be careful. They do not dare take action out in the open, but you must be on guard against malicious schemes in the dark,” said Su Yizhi solemnly.

“I will be careful,” said Ling Chuxi with a nod. An open attack was easy to dodge, but a hidden, despicable attack was harder to guard against. What a bunch of loons. Who’d know what kind of things they would try to do? Therefore, she had to be careful. Very careful.

“All right, it’s not early anymore. We should all go and rest now,” instructed Su Yizhi with a wave of his hand, then everyone left to go to their own quarters respectively.

Ling Chuxi returned to her quarters and thought about the four men in black robes who had suddenly appeared to protect her, and the corners of her lips curled up into a gentle smile. So, it turns out that all of her actions were being observed by Huangfu Qingjue. Ling Chuxi laid on the bed, looking at the canopy draping down by her bedside and her heart felt warm, as if something was about to spill over. ‘Qingjue, Qingjue, what are you doing now?’

…

On the other side of the valley, emotions still ran turbulent. “Miss, are you really just going to let her off like this? She dared to humiliate you. If it were not for you disallowing me to take action, I would have stabbed her to death in a single move,” declared one of Qing Lingyan’s handmaidens with gnashed teeth in an effort to seek credit.

“Oh, really? Just you alone could do that?” Qing Lingyan was still angry at the moment and when she heard this declaration, she felt it was merely oil being added to the flames of her fury, causing her to throw a cold glare at the handmaiden who said it. “Just now all of you were beaten until you’ve all turned out like this, yet you still have the cheek to say such words?” The four men in black robes who had appeared out of nowhere all possessed strong cultivation and their appearance alone had made her feel extremely shocked. After being thus ridiculed by Ling Chuxi, now that she heard her handmaiden speaking such words, she felt extremely embarrassed within her heart. Did the Rejuvenation Hall actually have such young members with such strong cultivation within their ranks?
