Chapter 27: Lingyun Leng (1/2)

The breathtakingly beautiful person standing in front of Claire was the Holy Divine Prince with silver hair and violet irises.

“Master, Sir Cliff.” The arriving person looked used to seeing the two fighting and respectfully addressed the two. His eyes flashed a strange light when he saw Claire.

“It’s you.” He said indifferently and quietly laughed.

“It’s me.” Claire also emotionlessly laughed.

“You guys know each other?” Lawrence asked after struggling away from Cliff’s evil clutches. Cliff also looked at them in surprise.

“We met at Gale Gorge.” The person with silver hair and violet eyes slightly bowed. “Hello, my name is Lingyun Leng.”

“Claire Hill.” Claire looked at the handsome man in front of her and puzzled over his name. Lingyun Leng? It didn’t seem like a family name from this world.

“The Hill family’s Miss?” Lingyun Leng smiled.

Claire emotionlessly laughed. “Looks like I’m pretty famous.”

“Everything was a fabrication, including what you’ve heard or seen. Only what you see from here is the truth.” Lingyun Leng tapped his chest lightly. Looks like he had also heard a lot about the Hill family’s male-chaser. But his behavior was totally different from others.

Claire only smiled faintly and didn’t say anything. Right now, it was complete chaos in Claire’s head, so much so that her head felt like it would explode. It was no other than that guy, Walter. His enemy was right in front of him, how could Walter not be agitated? But when he was alive he wasn’t his match, and of course now that he’s dead, how could he be his match. He could only fume inside Claire’s head.

“Revenge, I want revenge! It’s this damnable guy! I want to cut him to shreds!” Walter howled. And he could only howl, not even daring to leak his essence out.

Claire’s head was going to explode, this wretched Walter, much too noisy! Kept on buzzing in her head.

“You, shut up! Can you win against him?” On the surface Claire didn’t act abnormal at all, still lightly smiling like before. But in her mind she was talking with Walter and scolding that guy. Lingyun Leng definitely wasn’t simple. Although he was always courteous and gracefully smiling, he didn’t have a trace of warmth. His smile didn’t even reach to the depths of his eyes.

Lingyun Leng was also evaluating Claire. This girl who kept on smiling definitely was not an idiotic man-chaser like the rumors at all. Although she was smiling, always gently smiling, her eyes were completely cold! Profoundly cold eyes, an extraordinary aura. This girl was Sir Cliff’s disciple? As expected, not ordinary.

“Slaughter this guy, I want to slaughter him.” Walter howled in Claire’s mind, extremely excited.

“Howl one more time and I’ll grind you to pieces and scatter your remains in the wind, and make you become fertilizer for plants.” Claire sinisterly threatened Walter, who was still making trouble in her mind.

Walter grew silent. He understood that if he kept on making a racket for no reason, that little devil would really do it. He didn’t want to become fertilizer and lose his chance at rebirth.

It was at this point that music sounded.

The emperor and empress had arrived.

Claire sized up the emperor and empress standing at the highest point. The emperor looked robust, with an austerity that made people respect him. The empress had taken good care of her health, looking like she was only thirty years old. Her graceful and lavish demeanor attracted the attention of many people. She didn’t look like the mother of two children at all. The crown prince was born from the previous empress. The previous empress had died from difficulties in childbirth, and two years later, the emperor married the current empress.

Naturally there were many elaborate ceremonies. From the start, princess Maurice’s face had a gentle and amicable smile suitable for the court. But Claire understood this girl had probably been impatiently waiting for a while now. Her real personality was not as refined as she was now.
