Yes, Master.

Xunfeng and Moyu simultaneously raised their fists in greeting as they replied respectfully.

Due to Gu Ruoyun moving out of Hundred Herb Hall, both Ling Yu and Zuo Shangchen werent able to find her. Zuo Shangchen didnt say anything and simply turned and left. However, Ling Yu wasnt so easy to get rid of

Im carrying the imperial concubines imperial decree; get Gu Ruoyun out here to receive it now!

Ling Yu raised her chin high as her greedy eyes landed on the many valuable herbs within Hundred Herb Hall.

If she could get this Hundred Herb Hall, then the crown prince would surely sit up and take notice of her. From there, the next logical step would be becoming the crown princes consort, and someday, she would become the empress, the mother of the nation.

Shes not in our Hundred Herb Hall. Youve come to the wrong place.

Elder Yus complexion didnt look good as he replied expressionlessly.

I dont care where she is; get her out here to see me right now! Ling Yu coolly smiled, Unless she wants to disobey the imperial decree! By then, even your Hundred Herb Hall wont be able to protect her! Furthermore, the imperial concubine has another decree: Hundred Herb Hall sheltered the killer of my grandfather, and thus they are hereby sentenced to punishment! However, the imperial concubine is merciful. If you hand over Hundred Herb Hall, then well leave you with your lives.

Of course, that last sentence was Ling Yus own idea.

She had been eyeing Hundred Herb Hall for much longer than just one or two days; why wouldnt she use this opportunity to take Hundred Herb Hall into her own hands? Even if the imperial concubine got angry at her later on, she could offer her the precious herbs within Hundred Herb Hall and remove the unhappiness in her heart.

Ling Yu had it all planned out beautifully. Unfortunately, it wasnt that easy to carry out her plans

Hehe, Elder Yu sneered, Girl, at such a young age, you have a pretty wild tone. This old man is going to see, how exactly youre going to take all of our lives!

He had lived for so many years, and this was the first time he had met such a daring little girl. Even if Hundred Herb Hall belonged to Gu Ruoyun now, he was still a member of the Dongfang family at the very least. A little imperial concubines niece wanted to kill him?

Haha, it was simply ridiculous!

You old fogey! Youre just a little merchant, and yet you dare to disobey imperial power? My aunt is the imperial concubine! Why would she fear a little merchant like you? I advise you to hand over Hundred Herb Hall, or you wont be able to continue staying in Azure Dragon Country.

Ling Yu could see that Elder Yu occupied a position of power and respect in Hundred Herb Hall. Thus, she was taking him as the real owner of Hundred Herb Hall who worked behind the scenes! As for Gu Ruoyun, she didnt even consider her. Gu Ruoyun was just a little girl; she hadnt even been born yet when Hundred Herb Hall had been built.

Good, very good. Haha! Elder Yu was so angry that he started laughing. His eyes were spitting fire, Id like to see how youre going to do it. Show me why I wont be able to continue staying in Azure Dragon Country!

I tried to warn you, but I see that youre not going to heed my warning.

Ling Yu sneered and waved her hand, speaking to the people behind her: Men! Take this old fogey to see the imperial concubine.

However, just as she finished speaking, the old mans figure suddenly disappeared. When he appeared again, he was already in front of Ling Yu

Ling Yu wasnt even able to react when Elder Yus palm struck her chest fiercely. With a puchi sound, her entire body flew backwards. Following that, a tone filled with killing intent suddenly resounded in everyones ears.

Get out of my sight!!!

The old man tossed out his long sleeves with a flick of his wrist, his elderly face full of frost.

Ling Yu coughed out two mouthfuls of fresh blood and, while gritting her teeth, she spat word after word at him, You old fogey Just you wait I wont let you off!

Having said so, she hurriedly stood up, leaving with her tail between her legs in the direction she had initially come from
