Chapter 51: Chapter 51 - Killing Intent

Translator: Sissy That Walk

A decent number of guards were arranged at the tavern to protect Master Lingtian, even though everyone knew Master Lingtian was the best martial arts cultivator in the whole country, sometimes certain formalities were hard to get rid of.

Murong Xue was not allowed to be out for too long, several groups of guards from the palace were sent to check on her, finally she had to go back to the palace, so she turned to look back repeatedly at every step, “I’ll see you tomorrow, my good sister-in-law.”

“Yeah, see you tomorrow.”

The real “test” was scheduled on the next day, this day was just the application.

As for what the “test” would be about, Master Lingtian would disclose it in person next day to make sure the test would be impartial.

Luo Yuyan and Luo Keer had now filled in the forms now, Luo Keer wanted to start some trouble when she saw Luo Qianqian who was standing aside, it pissed her off when Shu Jian said Luo Qianqian was so much more prettier than her.

The Second Concubine went too far on dressing up Luo Keer, Luo Keer looked like a flamboyant carrot from afar, she looked like she was built with layers of color clash patterns.

She rested her arms on her hips and raised a tantrum, “Luo Qianqian, look at how cocky you are now! Quit daydreaming of becoming Master Lingtian’s disciple now that you’ve been fawning on Princess Eleventh, Master Lingtian won’t be impressed by a bitch like you, yes, you are just a little bitch like your dead mother.”

Luo Qianqian would turn a deaf ear if Luo Keer was just swearing on herself, but she couldn’t take it when Luo Keer was bringing up her dead mother, that was an untouchable principle.

If you were throwing disrespect at someone, you better be prepared for the same treatment.

Luo Qianqian had just the right solution to this.

“Slap her.” said Luo Qianqian to Feng Qing, with killing intent filled in her eyes.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Feng Qing carried out the order without the slightest hesitation .

He slapped Luo Keer twice and stepped back to Luo Qianqian’s side in a flash, it happened so quick that no one actually had seen what had happened, they only heard two crispy slaps.

Seeing Luo Keer’s face, Luo Qianqian almost burst into laughter and exclaimed, “Well done, Feng Qing!”

Feng Qing must had slapped over a thousand people before, he slapped Luo Keer with such perfect strength now Luo Keer’s face was completely symmetrically swollen, and she felt dizzy like her hear was spinning, it was perfect!

Feng Qing saw the approval in Her Highness’s eyes, but he just downplayed his accomplishment by standing buy her side quietly.

Luo Yuyan was so glad that Luo Keer said some provoking stuff before her, because she didn’t want to have a swollen face like her sister.

However, she refused to just let Luo Qianqian go, she mustered all her courage and glared at Luo Qianqian with probing intensity into her eyes, “Luo Qianqian, it’s still yet to see who has the last laugh, get ready for it.”

“Thank you so much for educating me, Second Older Sister.” replied Luo Qianqian with indifference.

Luo Yuyan wasn’t expecting Luo Qianqian could accept the provoking that well, she just stomped on the ground and left with her maid.

The two regretted it so bad that they had not taken actions against Luo Qianqian earlier, they wish they had poisoned her to death.

“Luo Qianqian! This is not over!” with that Luo Keer withdrew too.

A man in a white gown arrived when the two just settled on their carriage.

Luo Keer recognized it was Lin Zimo at fist sight.

Luo Keer would have had totally throw herself at Lin Zimo o any other day, but now she just wished to escape as soon as possible considering how swollen her face was, she would die if Lin Zimo saw her like this.

She kicked the chauffeur and hurried him, “What are you waiting for, go!”

Luo Keer missed her maid Xiao Cui so much, just because she could have had asked Xiao Cui to swear at Luo Qianqian if she was still alive.

Lin Zimo didn’t even notice Luo Keer was there, all he could see was Luo Qianqian.

‘Is she really going to marry Prince Eighth?’

He had persuaded himself to give up on the thought of being in love with Luo Qianqian, but all the efforts went down the drain as soon as he saw her.

“Fourth Lady, how are you.” he greeted her.

“I’m well, thank you, Doctor Lin.”

“Are you also here to apply, Fourth Lady?” asked him with a smile, though he kept his smile in place with some effort.

He thought fate was playing with him, he wished he had gone back to her earlier.

Luo Qianqian didn’t want to make the situation awkward by dwelling to much on the romance they had, so she said with some pretended lightness in the tone, “Yes, are you here for the same reason?”

Lin Zimo said, “No, I’m here for a patient.” Lin Zimo felt so nervous talking to Luo Qianqian in a casual way, he felt there was a layer of sweat in his palm already.

Patient?

Master Lingtian’s partner?

Thinking of that, Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but think about she spent as many as ten points on purchasing some elixir that could prolong people’s life and better the wellness.

The elixir was so pricy!

That left her only twenty points or so.

She was going to present the elixir the day after, but she narrowed her eyes and thought this day might be a perfect opportunity.

Luo Qianqian weighed the pros and cons in her mind, she asked Lin Zimo whether she could go meet Master Lingtian with him or not.

The tavern was heavily guarded, Master Lingtian wouldn’t meet you unless you were invited.

Lin Zimo asked with concern, “Yes, do you have important matter to talk with Master Lingtian?”

‘Is it about Brother Eighth?’ thought Lin Zimo.

Heaven knew Luo Qianqian would only avoid seeing Murong Yun if she knew Murong Yun was also with Master Lingtian right now, no way she would create opportunity to meet his Brother Eighth.

“I have some elixir that might help Master Lingtian’s partner.” Luo Qianqian said honestly, “and I’d love to have an opportunity to meet Master Lingtian in person.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Yes, just follow me.” Lin Zimo took a glimpse at her and Feng Qing.

He tried so hard to avert his gaze from Luo Qianqian.

The tavern was like a maze, they navigated several twists and turns before they arrived.

What came to Luo Qianqian’s sight was a familiar figure and the familiar herbal aroma, shoot, she wanted to escape, why didn’t Lin Zimo mention Murong Yun was also here?!

“Qianqian… …” asked Murong Yun with surprise.

“Who is that?” Master Lingtian thought Luo Qianqian as an uninvited guest, he lifted his hand and emanated overwhelming killing intent.

Luo Qianqian found it hard to catch her breath by the crippling power.

Meanwhile there was another stream of Internal Chi that made its way to Luo Qianqian and protected her from being shrouded by the killing intent.
