203 What Goes Around Comes Around 5

Even though he was not a high-ranked cultivator, he was still a Martial General. Therefore, although Gu Ruoyun was also a Martial General, he could still hold his own against her with all his years of experience. He also had the Imperial Army at his beck and call. In fact, he believed that he could easily take on Gu Ruoyun.

But Gu Ruoyun only glared back at General Gu who was full of confidence...

With just that one glance, he heard a ‘bang’ and felt a strong surge of energy through his mind. After the strong energy had rushed through him, that frail body of his did not heed his command and he was thrown away, smashing into the crowd.

That arrogant General Gu had been defeated by a girl with just one move?

Leng Moxuan tightly clenched His fists, His palms were full of sweat and His handsome and serious face was full of panic. If this girl could defeat General Gu with just a single move, it proves that her power was now totally out of His expectations.

"This… how can this be?"

The old general had regained consciousness and his elderly face was full of a hideous expression. He had been defeated by a good-for-nothing in such a public place. Where could he even hide his face now?

But thinking about that horrifying power from the girl just now, General Gu did not dare to make any sudden movements anymore…

Whoosh!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

At that moment, a series of footsteps came from nearby and everyone looked over to see Elder Yu running and leading people from the Hundred Herb Hall with him.

When Leng Moxuan saw those people, He could not help but feel happy. He had not known how to deal with this at first but people from the Hundred Herb Hall have arrived so they should know what to do with their misbehaving underling! Gu Ruoyun was trained at the Hundred Herb Hall so no matter what, she had to obey them.

But Elder Yu did not wait for them to speak. He walked towards Gu Ruoyun and asked anxiously, "My Lady, are you alright?"

My Lady?

Not only Leng Moxuan, even the people around them were stunned.

If they did not hear wrongly, had the Martial King leveled Elder Yu just referred to Gu Ruoyun as ‘My Lady’?

"I’m alright." Gu Ruoyun shook her head and said, "Elder Yu, I need you to handle what’s about to come. Azure Dragon Country needs a new Emperor. If you have anyone in mind, please help them ascend the Imperial Throne."

"Yes, My Lady," addressed Elder Yu politely as he put his fists together.

At that moment, General Gu’s face froze as he looked at Gu Ruoyun’s expressionless face. He began to shiver and his face turned pale. He said as he shook his head, "How could this be? That year, she had not entered the Hundred Herb Hall as a servant but… as Elder Yu’s Master? What was Gu Ruoyun capable of to turn a Martial King into her servant? The Gods must be blind! Such an unfilial granddaughter should be struck by lightning!"

He did not dare and did not want to believe what he had just witnessed. If all of this was real… he would fall apart!

"How dare you?!"

Leng Moxuan has recovered from His shock and clenched His teeth, "What power does the Hundred Herb Hall have to remove me from the Imperial Throne? Are you not afraid of breaking the law?"

Gu Ruoyun smiled as she stood in the middle of everyone. Her green robes billowed around her and her eyes shone with a prideful glimmer.

Actually, before she had come to the Imperial Palace, she had already asked Shopkeeper Zhao to inform Elder Yu of her plans.

Right now, she was already fully-fledged so it was time to let people know that she was the true owner of the Hundred Herb Hall! It was to instill fear so that others would not dare to attack her… and she wanted to make General Gu realize how wrong his decision has been that year.
