Chapter 276: Kill her if she’s useless

Ye’er?

Even Grand Concubine Yi wouldn’t call Long Feiye by such a nickname. Han Yunxi was extremely astonished by the sudden voice and turned around to seek the speaker. She saw a woman dressed in black arrive. She was about 40 years old, but her features were exceptionally well preserved. Her lithe and graceful figure was no less fine than that of a 20 year old girl. Combine that with the lingering charms of her age and she was someone who exuded an indescribable glamor and charm.

At first glance, one might mistake her for a dignified and noble dame, but closer scrutiny would reveal the cold and ruthless look in her eyes. This definitely wasn’t an easy woman to deal with. Even though Han Yunxi had already seen her, she still remained calm and collected to study her back. Her unscrupulous gaze was fierce. When Long Feiye saw that Han Yunxi’s attention had wandered, he immediately withdrew his palm strike, as if fearful that he’d hurt her for real. The black-robed woman took in all of this before suddenly breaking out into a smile.

“Ye’er, when did you start to learn how to show pity and tenderness to a woman?” she ridiculed.

Long Feiye tightened his grip on Han Yunxi with an expressionless face and retorted, “When did Aunt Ru1 arrive? Where’s Tang Li?”

Aunt?

Han Yunxi was a little stunned by the moniker, but with Gu Qishao at death’s door, she couldn’t be bothered with who this woman was right now. In a low voice, she murmured, “Long Feiye, human lives are of monumental importance. Let go!”

Long Feiye ignored her, his attention wholly focused on Aunt Ru as she drew closer and closer. Aunt Ru didn’t reply Long Feiye either, but kept her attention on Han Yunxi as she measured her up and down multiple times. She didn’t look away as she asked Long Feiye, “I’ve heard her poison skills are formidable?”

Was there anyone who belittled a person right to their face?

Of course Han Yunxi had sensed that Aunt Ru was examining her with a sense of superiority because her intentions were unkind. In fact, she was certain that she was this woman’s target. But she didn’t have the time to keep her company! There really was no time left. Leaving aside the fact that the Man-Eating Vine would eat Gu Qishao, there was Gu Beiyue as well. He’d definitely find it difficult to escape.

She had to go save them!

“Long Feiye, we can talk when we get back, can’t we?” Han Yunxi was practically begging him, but her voice was low enough so that Aunt Ru wouldn’t hear. Unfortunately, Long Feiye remained unmoved, his thoughts completely on Aunt Ru.

He didn’t introduce her or explain things, but simply said, “I’ll return after I send her back.” So speaking, he was about to leave with Han Yunxi when Aunt Ru extended an arm to stop him.

In a cold tone, she said, “Ye’er, what’s the rush?”

Han Yunxi was shocked. Anyone who dared to block Long Feiye had to have formidable origins!

“It’s getting late. If Aunt Ru doesn’t make it to the peak, you would’ve come for nothing today,” Long Feiye said as he detoured around her arm.

He still wanted to leave, but Aunt Ru simply grabbed Han Yunxi by the shoulder and asked her directly, “Girl, you have the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion?”

Long Feiye’s unpleasant expression turned even more gloomy at those words. Before he could reply, Han Yunxi exclaimed, “It has nothing to do with you. Let me go!”

But Aunt Ru simply increased the pressure on her shoulder and said sternly, “Uncultured girl, hand it over!”

Does being ‘cultured’ mean letting a senior like you disdain me for no reason? And make a move against me? Respect has to come from both sides!

“It doesn’t even belong to you, so why should I?” Han Yunxi rebutted unhappily.

For a moment, Aunt Ru was unable to utter a word. Then she increased the pressure on Han Yunxi’s shoulder again and ordered, “Take it out!”

Han Yunxi’s shoulder was in serious pain! She took out a porcelain bottle and directly tossed it behind her. “What a piece of junk! I don’t need it at all!”

“Blasphemy!” Aunt Ru raged as she released Han Yunxi, giving her a chance. At the same time, Long Feiye let her go as well to follow after her. Han Yunxi took the chance to run as fast as she could in the opposite direction. It’d be a lie to say she wasn’t curious about Aunt Ru’s identity, but this wasn’t the time for that!

Gu Qishao, Gu Beiyue, you guys have to be all right!

She ran for her life to find them. Meanwhile, Aunt Ru picked up the porcelain bottle and her entire expression changed. Her cold laughter was filled with meaning. “She actually tricked me? Well, then!” Without a doubt, this was simply a similar bottle, not the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion. Han Yunxi hadn’t even taken it out when faced with the Xuan gold door, much less now. Long Feiye had gave her the thing, so she’d only give it back to Long Feiye and no one else.

Long Feiye stared at the broken pieces of porcelain on the ground. Though his heart was in a terrible state right now, he still couldn’t help but smile. The corners of his lips tugged upwards into an almost imperceptible grin. Aunt Ru gave Long Feiye a severe glance before turning to chase Han Yunxi, but this time Long Feiye blocked her way.

“Aunt Ru, if there’s anything to say, save it for when we get back.”
