Chapter 2067: Chapter 2067 Turn Against and Threaten
Recently, Li Xingrou has been quite vexed.
Murong Tian, because he sniffed out the scent of the closure of his financial sources, has been busy with remedies. Yet, the more he remedied the more problems arose. He was so busy every day that he didn’t have time to even look after Li XingRou.
The Crown Prince of the Eastern Royal Management had died. This was a massive event, a huge blow to the morale of the Royal Management. Ye LiuYun’s army seized the moment to launch fierce attacks, already reaching the bay of the Blood Cloud City. Blood Cloud City seemed to be on the verge of surrender.
Once the Blood Cloud City fell, the belly of the East was fully exposed to the Death Legion. Yet the assistance from the Merchant’s Alliance was delayed.
In addition, the Eastern Dynasty lost many of its high-level warriors; they were currently unable to block the Death Legion.
The Eastern Dynasty also put pressure on Li XingRou, urging Murong Tian to call for reinforcements from the Merchant’s Alliance.
However, Murong Tian simply didn’t possess that level of influence in the Merchant’s Alliance. Despite their urgency, the couple ended up having tension.
The assignment issued by the Royal Management to monitor Bai Feng and Zhang Minghui was all on Li Xingrou. Yet with Bai Feng and Zhang Minghui staying in every day, she could not gather any useful information.
The Eastern Sea King, desperate in his illness, shifted his aim towards better relations with the Xuan Tian sect. They urged Li XingRou to turn traitor, offering up information about Murong Tian in preparation to aid Xuan Tian in their fight against the Merchant’s Alliance.
If she became useless to the dynasty, there was a potential for her to be abandoned.
She was originally indecisive and with Murong Tian currently giving her the cold shoulder, she was feeling a bit shaken internally.
Li XingRou felt that after she had helped Murong Tian take control of the sect’s disciples on behalf of the Merchants Alliance, he began to become cold towards her.
These days, Li XingRou could only feel a little better after taking the rejuvenation pill.
Upon hearing that Ye Liuyun was looking for various excuses to stall her, the irritation in her mind evolved into a complete eruption and she immediately changed her face.
"Chen Feng, you’re not the only one who can refine Youth Preserving Pill! I thought you were a nice person so I gave you an opportunity. Do you know that in this Northsky sect, you can’t move an inch without my support?
"I haven’t skimped on God crystals for you, right? If you want money, say it straight! No beating around the bush! But if you keep avoiding this, don’t expect me to consider you my junior in the future!"
Li Xingrou directly threatened Ye Liuyun. She had no patience left; if being soft didn’t work, she was ready to be tough.
"Senior sister, how did the conversation turn to you threatening me?" Ye Liuyun responded in feigned surprised.
"Hmph! My attitude towards you depends on you!" Li Xingrou added, with a conceited air.
"Haha, looks like when I was preparing those pills for my senior sister, something must have gone wrong! If this is my senior sister’s attitude towards me, then so be it! Qingyan, see our guest out!" Ye Liuyun didn’t care about her tantrum and was straight up sending her away.
"You... Fine, you better wait for it!" Li Xingrou retorted angrily and stormed out.
After Azure sent her away, she came back and worriedly asked Ye Liuyun, "Master, would she stir up trouble by bringing people here?"
Ye Liuyun just laughed, "She can’t cause trouble for too long! How many days left of the pills you gave her last time?"
"Only five days left!" Azure replied.
Ye Liuyun just smiled. "Five days. She needs to find someone to prepare the pill and deal with me, that’s quite a task for her!"
Ye Liuyun knew that Murog Tian was busy competing for external resources with Jin Hui, Liu Xing and others, so he could not attend to Li Xingrou. Even if Murong Tian sent a few people to cause trouble, he did not care.
If he didn’t want to take action, he could stay indoors. Anyway, after five days, Li Xingrou would come to him.
With a huff, Li Xingrou left Ye Liuyun’s residence mumbling to herself, "It’s just refining a pill, what’s the big fuss! You dare to challenge me, I will make you pay!”
Unwittingly she headed towards Murong Tian’s residence, but upon reaching the foot of the mountain, she turned back.
“Even without Murong Tian, I can handle Chen Feng just fine!”
She’s been at odds with Murong Tian recently and decided to handle Ye Liuyun herself.
Li Xingrou returned to her residence and asked her maid to gather all the Holy Sons including Li Jian.
Out of respect for Murong Tian, these sacred disciples would naturally come.
But upon hearing that it was to deal with Chen Feng, the Third and Fourth Holy Sons and Li Jian, instantly passed on the information to Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun instructed Li Jian to find out why Li Xingrou was not seeking Murong Tian’s assistance. Skirting around the subject, Li Jian felt that there might be a disagreement between Li Xingrou and Murong Tian.
Ye Liuyun became even less concerned about Li Xingrou.
"Whatever she wants to do, just play along!" he said.
In the end, Li Xingrou asked everyone to help her find a Dan master, offering a high price for the refining of a Youth Preservation Dan. She also had some of them guard the entrance of the Dan Hall for Ye Liuyun and beat him up if he showed up.
Li Jian was sent to be an envoy because he knew Ye Liuyun, hoping to change Ye Liuyun’s mind.
Ye Liuyun dismissed Li Xingrou’s tactics with a laugh.
Under Li Xingrou’s high reward, a Dan master did concoct a Youth Preservation Dan for her.
Although the pills looked identical, after trying them, she found out that the ones made by others had no effect on her.
Only Ye Liuyun’s Youth Preservation Dan could ease her mood.
She began to suspect that she was addicted, that she was dependent. The Youth Preservation Dan refined by Ye Liuyun was undoubtedly unique.
So she had no choice but to send Li Jian to get Ye Liuyun again, offering a high price for his recipe.
But Li Jian replied to her, "Chen Feng is a stubborn one. After I went to him, he turned me away."
"Didn’t you say you’re willing to pay a hefty price for his exclusive recipe?" Li Xingrou asked with a frown.
"I did! But he said he doesn’t need money at all! I believe trying to use money won’t work, since when does a pill-refining master lack money?" Li Jian responded.
"Scram, scram, scram, useless trash!" Li Xingrou impatiently drove Li Jian away.
She was now feeling restless. If she had known Ye Liuyun had a unique secret formula, she would not have turned against Ye Liuyun.
She only has one rejuvenating pill refined by Ye Liuyun left. If she couldn’t deal with Ye Liuyun, she won’t have any pills left after a day.
The people she sent to stalk Ye Liuyun had not seen him come out these days. They dared not cause a fuss in a place like Pill Hall.
Even if she sought help from Liu Zimo and Xing Baiyu, a seventh-tier feral beast was guarding Ye Liuyun, they would not be able to catch him.
So, she had no way to tackle Ye Liuyun at all.
After mulling it over, Li Xingrou suddenly thought of Feng Chen.
"That’s right, I can ask Feng Chen to try! Now that I’ve fallen out with Chen Feng, isn’t it the perfect time for Feng Chen to step in!"
With this thought, she called Feng Chen again and asked Feng Chen to try to convince Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun was cultivating and when he heard Qingyan report that Feng Chen had come, he immediately went out to deal with it.
"Junior Brother Chen Feng, I heard that you recently upset Li Xingrou? Do you know that Li Xingrou is Murong Tian’s woman?"
Feng Chen, who did not realize that he had been seen through by Ye Liuyun, started to chat with him out of apparent concern the moment he saw Ye Liuyun.
