Chapter 88: Notoriously Sly

Translator: Soldier

Upon hearing that voice, Guard Lin, who was standing behind Ouyang Ke, knitted his eyebrows, turned around and looked in the direction of those people sitting under a big tree.

It seemed that the villagers didn’t allow them to enter the village either.

“You’re members of the offshoot mansion of the Murong family?” Guard Lin noticed the symbols on their clothes.

Judging from the symbols on their clothes, they were members of the several offshoot mansions of the Murong family, but he didn’t see any symbols of the main mansion of the Murong family.

“Of course. Grandma Medicine is the natural mother of Lord Murong. She’s a member of Murong Mansion,” a member of the sixth offshoot mansion of the Murong family said.

Members of other offshoot mansions all nodded on hearing this.

But Guard Lin snorted, “You guys from Murong Mansion are really thick-skinned. I heard that several days ago you evicted her from Murong Mansion, but now you’re telling me that she’s a member of Murong Mansion. Your shameless deeds really broadened my horizons.”

The Murong family and the Ouyang family had always been mortal enemies, so both sides showed undisguised hostility in this encounter.

Upon hearing his sarcastic words, all those people sitting under the tree abruptly stood up with a sullen face, anger surging through them.

“Don’t go too far, dude. This is Murong family’s turf. You’re just an outsider. It’s not your place to comment on Murong family’s issue.”

“This is Murong family’s turf? You–”

However, when the tension was reaching a flashpoint, a chilly voice came from somewhere, “Tsk, tsk. Did you come to my turf to fight for its ownership?”

Upon hearing this, everybody looked in the direction of the source of the voice.

When they saw that purple, neat figure, everybody was stunned, amazed by her beauty.

That was a beautiful, purple-eyed teenage girl clothed in purple.

Any man would have been attracted and stared at her.

Seeing Yun Wu walking over, the several villagers guarding the entrance of the village said with a respectful look in their eyes, “Miss Wu, why did you come here? Rest assured. We won’t let them disturb you.”

“That’s right. They’ll have to kill us to get in.”

All people living in Lian Village respected Yun Wu very much. She not only had excellent medical skills but also was a Tier-VII warrior.

Among all villagers in this small village, the son of the Li family, Li Xuyang, who managed to reach Tier II, was the strongest.

As a result, all of them were in awe of this Tier VII warrior.

In their sight, a kung fu expert like her would never even degrade herself talking to them, not to mention treat their injuries.

But this Miss Wu not only treated their wounds, but also prepared a kind of herbal remedy which could help improve their constitutions, giving villagers, who had no cultivation foundation, a chance to cultivate.

This great kindness was engraved in all villagers’ hearts, so when Miss Wu needed their assistance, they felt that it was incumbent on them to offer help.

“There’s no need to put it so seriously, Uncle Li. It they really want to intrude in our village, just let them in. But once you intrude in, Grandma Medicine will be in a bad mood. And when she’s in a bad mood, her memory will go bad. If she forgets how to treat the pestilence, then the disease will keep spreading… ”

Saying this, Yun Wu vaguely grabbed a green bristlegrass and clamped it between her lips.

She looked very casual and languid.

However, after hearing her words, all those people waiting outside the village clenched their teeth in anger.

Wasn’t she putting on airs?

Ouyang Ke seemed exceptionally excited on the sight of her, and the look in his eyes were growing more and more ardent as he watched her every move.

He couldn’t help but hurriedly take a few steps forward, cup his hands before his chest and said courteously, “Miss, I’m Ouyang Ke from Water City. We once met in the Magic Beasts Forest in the west. Do you still remember me?”

Yun Wu vaguely raised her eyes and took a bland glance at Ouyang Ke, who was wearing a cyan brocade robe, looking genial, cultured and elegant, and fairly handsome, too.

“I think so,” after sizing him up for quite a while, she answered blandly.

Her answer made Ouyang Ke feel both amazed and delighted. He walked a couple of steps closer and said, “Miss, I meant to pay you a visit back at the time when you were still in Murong Mansion, but because of–”

“If you want to talk, just talk. Don’t try to slip into our village,” before he could finish his sentence, a gruff voice interrupted him.

It turned out that Ouyang Ke had unconsciously crossed the village boundary of Lian Village, walking towards Yun Wu while talking.

Seeing this, Uncle Li and the other villagers immediately hurried forward, opened their arms and stopped Ouyang Ke from getting close to Yun Wu.

“How dare you be impertinent to our Master. You’re courting death,” upon seeing this, Guard Lin angrily walked forward, meaning to pull out his sword.

“Swish!”

A green bristlegrass shot over like a silver needle and hit the back of Guard Lin’s hand.

Guard Lin’s movement froze and his whole palm went numb and limp.

A astonished look flashed across Guard Lin’s eyes. He raised his head and looked over those villagers’ shoulders at Yun Wu. The green bristlegrass between her lips was gone.
