Chapter 172 - Great Performance II

The three elders who hear about what was happened was beyond furious, they would charge on Lao Min Na by now if not Li Mo Zhen stop them, Yang Xi Ying also told them they cannot be rash because Lao Min Na have a tools who can cure Li Mo Zhen completely, Li Mo Zhen and Yang Xi Ying didn't tell them too much about the curse, they explained because the sword contained with a material who could ruined people minds that's why Li Mo Zhen become like this.

They also said the hairpin that Lao Min Na brought can nullify the influence from the sword so it would make Li Mo Zhen condition better, truthfully the elder didn't care much about the sword they got angry because someone hurt their young master to subdue their Sect, this woman treat their Lord life as a joke how could they forgive her.

Thankfully Hei Shen Sect lend them a hand so they did not fall on the enemy trap, the three elders feel outmost gratitude for Hei Shen Sect kindness, people said Hei Shen sect is willful, arrogant and overbearing and the leader Lord Long Ming is unreasonable man who is cruel and savaged like a beast but after they interact a few days Jiu Yun Sect realizes the Hei Shen is not like how people described it.

If anything can be described about Hei Shen Sect is they all indifferent and laid back people and Long Ming also not that bad as long you don't mind him, he didn't mind you to be frank Long Ming had no care with other people matter, except for his fiancée everyone is like a bug in his eyes.

"Where is she?" Lory hides behind the wooden screen at the main hall with Zhao Li Xin behind her who looks uninterested.

"Patience my dear…." He whispers in her ears, who only make Lory blush heavily.

She looks at him with pout but didn't complain "Do you think she will notice me, I heard high cultivator could feel other people present who has a lower level?"

"Not with your necklace, even the emperor level would not notice you," he said calmly.

Lory admiration to her boyfriend rises again, he really is her 'Fairy godmother, just look at her hair now, it's perfect!'

In the main hall, the elders sit on their respectable chair, while Xi Ying choose to stand near elder Mu and few of Jiu Yun Sect senior also standing not far from the elders, all of them try their best to hide their contempt to the upcoming guest.

Not long after a woman with mesmerizing beauty wearing a snow-white hanfu enter the room, her beauty is enough to make all the man amazed but they quickly come to their sense when they realize this is the perpetrator who wants to ruin their sect. Lo Min Na smiles dazzlingly "Lao Min Na greeting the venerable elders" she slightly bow gracefully.

Lory peek from the gap the screen carving, it's been a years since Lory met her she surprised how beautiful she becomes in the past Lao Min Na is already beautiful but today she is mesmerizing, her skin is glowing, the hair is soft like silk and her movement is graceful like a cloud in the sky, she does keeps her reputation as 'a beauty who can ruin the country'

Lory mouth twitch, why no one ever describes her like that even when she was a Princess is she not beautiful enough?

The reasons no one ever says things like that to her because first is degrading for a woman to be judged by her look but not her talent and second it's sound like a bad omen because the power of 'Lucient' can really ruin a country.

"She's so beautiful, don't you think?" she nudged Zhao Li Xin behind her.

Zhao Li Xin didn't understand why she wants him to comment about other women? but because of his understanding of his princess as someone who came from a different world, he tolerated her by replied to her with a grunt.

"May I know for what reasoned Miss Lao is here?" Mu Jan Ge struggles to keep his face gentle.

"I hear about what happened with Young Master Li, it's unfortunate for young and talented cultivator like master Li fall to this situation especially when he just got a lovely fiancée" she smiles softly at Yang Xi Ying even though there's a hint of ridiculed hide in her eyes, Yang Xi Ying smiles back at her she keeps reminds herself to hold herself for Li Mo Zhen.

"I came here because I confidently could cure Master Li," she said with a gentle voice.

"Hump, you haven't seen his condition and yet you said you could cure him, careful not to overestimated yourself" Elder Wang Ji scoffed.

Lao Min Na expected this, her mouth curl "I won't be here if I'm not confident" she said with complacent smiles.

Mu Jan Ge becomes quiet his hand clenched his arms chair, Lao Min Na sees this as he realizes he had no choice to believe her but the truth is the old man is holding his anger, Mu Jan Ge have strong urged to bash that pretty face to the ground.

Mu Jan Ge finally can calm himself he leans his back to his chair, he stares at Lao Min Na "I know there's nothing 'free' in this world so tell what you want to trade for my young master recovery?"

Every eye stares at Lao Min Na but she remains calmed she even looks enjoy this, a sweet smiles bloom on her face "What I asked is simply submitted yourself to me…"

The room becomes pin drop silence no one said anything, Elder Wang Ji almost lash out but elder Hong holds his hand warning eyes, Elder Eyes reluctantly lean his back on his chair and let out a long heaved to calm his nerves.

"Why do you need us, we only a small sect compare to Whit Moon Tower and Immortal tower?" said Mu Jan Ge.

"You are too modest elder Mu" Lao Min Na stifles "When it comes to sword art and array master who can win against your sect, the only reason your Sect didn't become more famous because you all choose this way and with Chienzi flower in your possession how could your sect lose?"

"I believe you want Chienzi flower too?" Mu Jan Ge make incredulous snort listening to Lao Min Na flowery words.

"Well, I'm an alchemist so it wouldn't be a surprise isn't it" she smiles sweetly without guilt.

"We'll see" Mu Jan Ge let out an exasperated sigh "Brother bring Mong Zi here, I want to see how good she is" he sneered.

Wang Ji glared at Lao Min Na then he flicked his robes in anger before he left, Lao Min Na didn't look offended only her subordinated who look Jiu Yun Sect members with disdained, Lory watch everything with awed for Lao Min Na cool-headed, in her world someone like Lao Min Na will do great in politic.

Lory watches the show with excitement but a certain Lord is bored to death he didn't find the show exciting at all watching Lao Min Na flaunt her beauty like a peacock is a waste of time, she looks at Lory with complained expression, she didn't know what to do to coax this grumpy Lord.

She carelessly gives Zhao Li Xin a quick kiss on his lips, and then she put her finger on her lips gesture him to be patience and quiet.

Zhao Li Xin face expressionless like always but then he smiles widely at her, Lory though she managed to persuade him she smiles in relief but then Zhao Li Xin grab her waist then she holds her head still then he pressed his lips toward her Lory's eyes grew wider not because she hated him kissing her but this is not a right time or place and someone life is on the stake! Then again, what can she do?

Meanwhile, at the main hall, the air inside the room becomes tensed Wang Ji returned with two men holding a man who is tied with a silver chain, his hair is disheveled and his robes tattered, Yang Xi Ying looking at him with grief.

Lao Min Na who was sitting leisurely while waiting didn't look surprised at all, there's no guilt or remorse in her eyes as someone who make this healthy young man become like this. Her eyes remain placid her beautiful face unmoved she is cold as snow mountain.

Li Mo Zhen screaming and kicking like a crazy wild beast, he glares at them with bloodshot eyes it was pure hatred. Lao Min Na subordinated unconsciously clenched their weapon they scared this crazy man able to break the chained and killed them all.

Behind the screen lory painstakingly covers Zhao Li Xin's mouth she gives him warning eyes but it's only amused him, can a rabbit warn a wolf? Of course, she can't, she only make herself more adorable with her puffy cheeks and her glistening big doey eyes also her tender moist red lips only enticed him to do more, Lory weak resistance is futile even though she heard Li Mo Zhen great performance behind the wooden screen Zhao Li Xin didn't give her a chance to take a look.

'I want to WATCH!'

Yang Xi Ying maintained her grieving expression she covers her mouth with a handkerchief, the two of them gives their best for their performance, Lao Min Na is a smart woman she can discover easily if something she felt amiss so everyone needs to maintain they're acted.

"Can you cure him?" asked Mu Jan Ge with a hopeful expression.

"Please miss Lao…" Yang Xi Ying pleads desperately.

Lao Min Na mouth curl "Of course…but what do you think about my condition?"

Mu Jan Ge looks tired and defeated "If you can cure him, we got a deal" he let out a long sigh.
