Chapter 701: Hostility Towards Chuxi

Perhaps because the other party had purposely hidden it, Ling Chuxi could not figure out their cultivation, but she guessed that they would not be that weak.

As Ling Chuxi was sizing up the other party, they also looked over at Ling Chuxi and the others. Ye Qingyun’s gaze travelled over them and finally stopped on Ling Chuxi’s face. Their gazes met briefly, and then they both looked away.

Ling Chuxi could clearly sense that Ye Qingyun’s gaze was quite hostile, and even murderous. She was confused. ‘I’ve never met him before, so there’s no way I could have offended him, right? Why does he resent me as if I had stolen his woman?’

Ling Chuxi did not know that when she had joined forces with Xie Wuji and the rest to get rid of Chu Fengyun, Ye Qingyun had been standing by Qing Lingyan’s side, looking at everything from a distance.

The Heavenly Star Sect and Cold Moon Palace were allies for many generations. Ye Qingyun had known Qing Lingyan since young and had been secretly in love with her for many years. Seeing Qing Lingyan having such deep hatred for Ling Chuxi, he had wanted to find an opportunity to kill Ling Chuxi to gain her favor back then. It was just because Qing Lingyan had other plans that he didn’t do it.

Now seeing Ling Chuxi face-to-face, it was only natural that he was hostile.

“Duke, allow me to introduce you. This talented and handsome young man is the young master of the Heavenly Star Sect, Ye Qingyun. This is the Black Sword Sect’s Wei Wuji. And this is the number one among the princes of the past in Nan Xia, His Highness the Ninth Prince, the current Duke.” Just as Ling Chuxi was wondering who they were, the envoy respectfully introduced them.

So it was someone from the Heavenly Star Sect. Seeing Ye Qingyun, Ling Chuxi was reminded of Ye Qianhe. They were indeed birds of a feather; one look and she could tell that they weren’t good people. Because of Ye Qianhe, Ling Chuxi looked down on the Heavenly Star Sect entirely.

No wonder he had looked at her so resentfully just now! It was probably because of Ye Qianhe. Seems like the last time they had met, she hadn’t dealt with him ruthlessly enough. If they ever met after this, she would bash him up until he had no teeth left!

Ling Chuxi instinctively connected it to Ye Qianhe, and totally did not associate it with Qing Lingyan at all.

Poor Old Monster Ye, even when he was innocent, he was being blamed.

“Your cultivation is not bad.” Ye Qingyun stared at Fu Chengyu arrogantly with his head raised.

That’s right, didn’t they say there were people of the Cold Moon Palace and Deity Temple here too? Ling Chuxi subconsciously looked around, but did not notice any other people.

“You overpraise me,” Fu Chengyu said calmly. Although these people were aloof, Fu Chengyu was born into the imperial family, and naturally had the majesty to show it.

“So you are Fu Chengyu. I have heard of you before.” The other disciple from the Black Sword Sect’s attitude was clearly much more humble, neither overbearing nor servile, with the demeanor of someone from a noble family.

“Your group has travelled quite far. I apologize if our hospitality was lacking in any area,” Fu Chengyu said to Wei Wuji, with the manners of a cultivator.

“Brother Fu is being too courteous,” Wei Wuji said with a calm smile.

“Duke, might I ask if Her Majesty is feeling better?” The envoy asked a little anxiously. He had been in Nan Xia’s capital for quite a few days, but he had always been left stranded at the posthouse, and had not even seen the empress’ face. The news from Ding Lin Country was becoming less and less optimistic. How could he not be worried?

Fu Huayi was currently wearing the face mask that Ling Chuxi had completed a couple of days back. Although it was not as exquisite as the one Mu Liufeng had, it was still very realistic. Either way, it was still much better than the corpse look she had on earlier. Right now, she looked like any other beautiful young lady. The envoy had only seen the empress’ portrait and had never seen her in real life, so he could not recognize her.

“That… Her Majesty is much better already…” The moment the condition of Her Majesty the Empress was brought up, Fu Chengyu felt his mind go blank.
