Feng Ruqing did not stay after Tang Yin left. She wanted to head over to Paramount as soon as she turned around.
Suddenly, a gust of sword wind struck her from the front. Feng Ruqing’s face began to darken as something cold flashed in her eyes. She evaded the wind by moving aside.
Feng Ruqing was not hurt but the sword wind slashed through her robe and continued to move toward Gu Yiyi who was standing behind Feng Ruqing but could not react in time.
***
The gust of sword wind was chilly and suffocating. Gu Yiyi could barely breathe from the attack.
She could only stare at the gust of cold sword wind, unmovingly, as she was too fat to avoid the attack. All she could do was stare at the sword wind strike her in her pale face.
Just as the sword wind almost struck her, an arm reached out from the side and suddenly dragged Gu Yiyi’s fat body away from the attack. It was so close…
A cold breeze was blowing at the same time, and Gu Yiyi suddenly realized that she was so frightened that her body was already covered in cold sweat.
Before Gu Yiyi recovered from the fear, Feng Ruqing held out her hand again and pulled her up from the ground. She looked coldly at those people in green robes coming from all sides.
“Who are you?” Feng Ruqing seemed expressionless as her eyes were calm. However, behind her eyes, she was burning with uncontrollable anger.
She had finally waited until the arrival of a landlord’s foolish daughter, but those people almost killed her before she could trick some spirit herbs from her!
“We’re here to take your life!” The leader of the people in green robes sneered as his lips lifted into a scornful arch.
She was merely a princess from the secular world who, in their eyes, did not… deserve so much attention from them.
“Are you people from the Divine Herbs Sect or Tian Shen Manor?” Feng Ruqing pulled Gu Yiyi behind her and protected her, steadfastly.
However, because of Gu Yiyi’s size, she was unable to cover her no matter how she tried.
Gu Yiyi’s eyes were blank as she stared at Feng Ruqing, dumbfounded.
‘People from the Divine Herbs Sect and Tian Shen Manor… are here to kill her?
‘She’s in enmity with both of the forces?’
How could she be unaware that Tian Shen Manor’s people were going after a secular girl and even wanted to kill her?
Were these people not afraid of violating the rules?
“Haha!” The green-robed man laughed hysterically. “Little girl, I’m not from the Divine Herbs Sect nor Tian Shen Manor. You’ve seen what you shouldn’t have seen, I’m here to kill you by command!”
The corners of Feng Ruqing’s lips lifted into a gentle smile, “Sorry, but anything that I’m capable of taking into my hand will eventually belong to me, no doubt!”
She would never pay any attention to the things that belonged to others.
However, anything that interested her would inevitably belong to her!
“Arrogant!” The green-robed man sneered and said, “I’d love to see what actually makes you think that you can be that arrogant!”
Suddenly, the enemies rushed toward Feng Ruqing and surrounded her. The streets were already blanketed by an overwhelming power, which made it hard even for a fly to escape from the siege.

“Which forces do you belong to in the reclusive world?” Gu Yiyi walked out of Feng Ruqing’s back as she lifted her chin, arrogantly. “I advise you guys to knock it off now, or else, I will tell my father once I’m home, and he will settle scores with you guys!”
The reclusive world had the rules where they were not allowed to lay their hands on the secular world. However, these people were unruly and ignored the rules, so her father had the right to take this matter into his hands now.
The green-robed man laughed even harder. “Who do you think your father is? How dare he interferes with our Second Elder’s business!”
“My… ” Gu Yiyi’s eyes widened in anger. “My father is Gu Shi1!”
“Hahaha, if your father is a story, then I’m an epic. Besides, you’re such an ugly person and it’s really annoying to see you around. I’ll kill you as well soon, in case you’re hurting the people’s eyes!”
