My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Lou Mu Yan also understood that it was impossible to maintain complete secrecy in a place like Tian’yuan City where there was a mix of ‘fish and dragons’.

“Thank you, Headmaster, for the reminder. I’m mentally prepared.”

Although she could use the banner that was her Master as a guise to deter some people, but it was impossible for everyone to fear Old Man Tian Xuan. After all, it was a century ago when his prestige was established.

No matter what, the most important thing was to rely on herself. Strength was key.

After the auction, the steward returned to their private room.

“Young Miss Lou, our Tian’yuan City offers one hundred million Low-Quality Spiritual Stones for your two Heaven-Rank Spiritual Items. What do you think?” The steward asked with a smile.

Lou Mu Yan nodded with a smile, “I’m very satisfied. Then I’ll trouble steward to deal with it.”

“Haha, Young Miss Lou is too polite.”

The steward handed the Frost Soul Ice Crystal bottle that contained the blood essence of the descendant of a Heavenly Phoenix to Lou Mu Yan and said: “Young Miss Lou, this is the blood essence of the descendant of a Heavenly Phoenix that you just won, please take a look.”

Lou Mu Yan took the bottle and opened it. Suddenly, a fiery aura emanated from the bottle and the entire private room was overflowing with a violent force and a powerful pressure.

“It’s indeed the blood essence of the descendant of a Heavenly Phoenix.” Lou Mu Yan’s expression remained indifferent, and she pushed the two Spiritual Items over, “Steward, just deduct the auction price and give me the rest.”

The moment the blood essence of the descendant of a Heavenly Phoenix overflowed, only Huo Ling Long, Headmaster Feng and Lou Mu Yan appeared to be unaffected, while the faces of other pupils who were slightly weaker paled and their breathing grew tougher.

The steward was overwhelmed by the aura of the Heavenly Phoenix bloodline that suddenly radiated from the bottle just now and also felt a little hard for air. But he didn’t expect Lou Mu Yan, a little girl with only Sword Sovereign strength, to be able to maintain her composure.

No wonder she was able to become Old Man Tian Xuan’s disciple—it seemed that she was indeed extraordinary.

“Haha, this is the remaining Spiritual Stones for Young Miss Lou after deducting the auction price.” The steward adjusted his slight change of expression just now and said with a smile.

Lou Mu Yan took the bag containing the Spiritual Stones and swept it with her Mental Energy. She found that the remaining Spiritual Stones were all replaced by Middle-Quality Spiritual Stones by Tian’yuan City. Was this used to show good will to her?

“Thank you Steward!”

“Our Young Lord specially explained that Young Miss Lou can come to Tian’yuan City as a guest if you have nothing to do in the future.” Then the steward took out a piece of ancient black jade and handed it to Lou Mu Yan, “This is the Distinguished Guest Token of Tian’yuan City, please take it Young Miss Lou.”

Lou Mu Yan took the ancient black jade in confusion, and many questions crossed her mind.

“Then I trouble Steward to thank your Young Lord for me.”

Lou Mu Yan didn’t know any Young Lord of Tian’yuan City, so she could only guess that the other party might have given her such an honour because she was Old Man Tian Xuan’s disciple.

The steward and Lou Mu Yan exchanged a few more pleasantries before exiting the private room.

The City Lord’s Mansion of Tian’yuan City.

A tall and upright man stood by the window against the wind, who knows thinking about what.

“Young Lord, Young Miss Lou has accepted the token you presented.” The steward entered the room after receiving permission and reported respectfully.

“Did she ask anything?” The man said slowly after a while.

“No. Although Young Miss Lou is not yet twenty, but she is very sophisticated. She may have questions inwardly, but she revealed nothing.” The steward replied.

The man chuckled: “She’s intelligent and witty and is probably also guarding against Tian’yuan City.”

The steward was stunned for a moment. Why did he feel like the way Young Lord spoke felt as if he was very familiar with Lou Mu Yan?

“You can leave.” The man ordered.

“Yes.”

After the steward exited the room, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared behind the man.

“Young Lord, your feelings for that girl are too deep.” The middle-aged man’s voice was gentle like a spring breeze, but there was no warmth at all.

This was also a test and a reminder.

“What? Can’t I?” The person known as Young Lord asked with a sneer.

“Aye!” The middle-aged man sighed helplessly, “The City Lord will not allow you to take Lou Mu Yan as your wife.”

The middle-aged man continued: “The City Lord has always wanted you to marry Young Miss Gu.”

“Whoever I want to marry is my freedom, even my maternal grandfather has no right to interfere.” The young man’s voice was solemn, “What does the so-called arranged marriage from twenty years before have anything to do with me? I won’t marry that woman.”

“If City Lord knew that you have a deep affection for that Lou girl, I’m afraid…” The middle-aged man paused and didn’t finish.

“Are you worried that Maternal Grandfather will kill Mu Yan?” The young man asked with a sigh.

“It’s not impossible if it means for you to give up.” The man replied.

“Wen Liang, then will you go and tell Maternal Grandfather my thoughts?”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then assured him faithfully: “No. I am Young Lady’s1. After the Young Lady left, Young Lord is my Master. I will never betray Young Lord.”

“Very well, remember what you said today.”

“Yes.”

Lou Mu Yan couldn’t guess the purpose of the mysterious Young Lord of Tian’yuan City. She didn’t want to interact with the people of Tian’yuan City much.

For some reason, Tian’yuan City just gave her a bad feeling.

After the transaction was over, Lou Mu Yan followed Huo Ling Long and the others back to the Eight Extremes Sect’s carriage.

Halfway along, there was a very small noise in the distance.

Lou Mu Yan, who originally had her eyes closed and was resting, suddenly opened her eyes, raised her head, and said to Huo Ling Long: “Headmaster, I have something to do. I’ll go back myself later.”

“The auction only just finished, it’s too dangerous for you to go out alone.” Huo Ling Long furrowed her brows slightly.

Lou Mu Yan said in a firm tone: “Don’t worry, Headmaster, I still have the ability to protect myself.”

“Go. Be careful.” Huo Ling Long pondered, then nodded.

“Yes.” Upon finishing speaking, Lou Mu Yan opened the door of the carriage and leapt out.

Lou Mu Yan was very fast, and it was too late for Headmaster Feng to stop her.

“Huo Ling Long, Lou Mu Yan’s current identity isn’t what it used to be. If something goes wrong, we won’t be able to bear it.” Headmaster Feng said with a sigh.

Huo Ling Long glanced at him lightly, “Little girl has always known her limits. She must have something urgent to be in such a hurry.”

“But tonight is the most restless night of Tian’yuan City. What if she’s affected?” Headmaster Feng asked.

After each Tian’yuan Auction, there would be many secret battles between various forces, and Tian’yuan City wouldn’t interfere—it could even be said that they indulge it.

“Do you think that if she didn’t even have the ability to protect herself, Ancestor Tian Xuan would accept her as a disciple?” Huo Ling Long raised an eyebrow and retorted.

Headmaster Feng thought that it did make sense. Lou Mu Yan wanted to go out herself, not to mention that she had a Tier 9 Spirit Pet, so self-protection shouldn’t be a problem.

“Alright then.”

Lou Mu Yan headed quickly towards an alley after getting off the carriage, towards the area where there was a faint disturbance.

“Lou Mu Ting, don’t refuse a toast and accept a forfeit, hand over the corpse of the Tier 8 Demonic Beast, otherwise don’t blame us for being rude.”

In the alley, more than a dozen people of Sword Sovereign and Sword Monarch cultivation bases surrounded five people whose figures couldn’t be seen clearly and their voices threatened fiercely.

The alley where they were located was a dark alley, which was one area of three that was openly disregarded by Tian’yuan City.

Private fights weren’t allowed in the city, but dark alleys could be used to settle personal grievances—that’s why these more than a dozen people dared to rob so blatantly.

1in this case ‘young lady’ refers to this young lord’s mother.

Hehehe, guess who the Young Lord of Tian’yuan City is XD I only just remembered the plot point in this chapter. Is it obvious who? Anyone remember Wen Liang? Hahaha
