My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Chapter 7: The Mercenarys Mission

Seeing that the promised time was arriving soon, yet these two people were still here chirping around, she looked at Chi Yi Xuan impatiently and said: What? If you have something to say, say it, if you need to fart, then hurry up and fart.

You Lou Mu Yan, do understand that youre a female, dont keep acting so unfeminine every day. Chi Yi Xuan didnt expect that Lou Mu Yan would be this impatient and rude to him. But why was it that when he looked at her simple and delicate appearance in her elegant purple dress, he suddenly remembered the times when they were youngerthat cute little girl who would chase after him calling big brother Xuan. Since when did their relationship become like this?

While Chi Yi Xuan was lost in his own world, Lou Mu Yan said sarcastically, without giving him any face: Who are you to me? What does it matter to you whether I behave and look feminine or not? Theres something wrong with you. She didnt wait for Chi Yi Xuan to reply and quickly went around them.

Chi Yi Xuans eyes revealed faint surprise as he stood there, staring at the purple figure leaving their sight, with Yun Jin who looked as if he was watching an interesting play.

Lou Mu Yan cursed Chi Yi Xuan inwardly as she hurriedthat damnable man, what was he doing acting so arrogant and self-righteous in front of her? He really thought he was someone important?

Lou Mu Yans feelings for Chi Yi Xuan were very complicated. Sometimes she would despise him, yet her heart would also throb for him from time to time. Although the original owner of this body made the decision, willingly, to completely dissipate, but that strong love for Chi Yi Xuan still remained within her body and was inherited by her. Thats why every time she met Chi Yi Xuan, she needed to consciously suppress the strong feelings for him that was left behind. So she didnt want to see Chi Yi Xuan even more.

Yi Xuan, I dont think Lou Mu Yans playing hard to get. Do you remember that rumoured divination? Yun Jins eyes were filled with interest. He was currently very fascinated by Lou Mu Yan, so he hoped that she wouldnt disappoint him.

Chi Yi Xuan nodded with a frown. Clans like theirs definitely knew about the divination from sixteen years ago¹ made by the Divine Seer. It seemed that the divination came true. Lou Mu Yan really changed, and seeing the beautiful figure disappearing in their sight, he felt an inexplicable sense of loss. Then he shook his head and laughed in ridicule at himself.

When Lou Mu Yan arrived at the Mercenary Union, the agreed time had already passed. She cursed Chi Yi Xuan and Yun Jin again inwardly. The moment she entered the door, she found a one of the juniors from the Ye Clan she met yesterday waiting in the lobby.

Miss, youve finally arrived, the elders have been waiting upstairs for a while now. The young man said to Lou Mu Yan with a smile.

Lou Mu Yan nodded: Thank you for your trouble. Lets go.

When she entered the room, she discovered that aside from the middle-aged man, there were two others. One of them was an old man that was around the same age as the elder from yesterday who was red-haired, red-bearded, had a slightly rotund body, and an amicable smile on his rosy face.

There was also a younger man who wore a dark-patterned black robe, around twenty-years-old, with a handsome face. His facial features were as if they were sculpted, clear and defined, while his thin lips were slightly curled. Lou Mu Yan guessed that he was probably Ye Clans Young Lord, Ye Qing Han.

Ye Qing Han raised his sharp, phoenix-type eyes and also scrutinised Lou Mu Yan. She wore a simple and elegant purple dress, enveloping her graceful and attractive body. Her face without any powder was like a painting, and her facial features were exquisite, while her temperament appeared otherworldlyshe was indeed an interesting beauty.

Sorry, something happened so Im late. Lou Mu Yan said with a smile to the old man from yesterday.

A type of smile he hadnt revealed yesterday was now apparent on his face, and he politely cupped his hands. Miss is too polite. Thanks to Misss treatment yesterday using the Art of the Golden Needles, the pain that occurred last night was indeed not as agonising as before. This old man truly admires Misss medical skills.

Youre welcome. I also did this just so I could join your team to the Blazing Mountain Range, so we were only obtaining what we each needed. Lou Mu Yan said bluntly. There was no need to hide anything in front of these intelligent and astute people.

Miss Lou is indeed straightforward, seems like the rumours in the Imperial Capital about Miss is erroneous. Ye Qing Hans voice was mature and magnetic; very pleasant.

Lou Mu Yans smiled softly: Since you know that Im Lou Mu Yan, then arent you afraid that this trash here is playing with you?

The Ye Clan and her mothers Clan, the Ling Clan, were equals as they were two of the Ten Distinguished Spirit Sword Clans of this continents Eastern Region. Even the Imperial Family didnt dare provoke these formidable clans. If a man blessed enough to be born into such clans like Ye Qing Han were to investigate her, itd be as easy as blowing off dust.

The fact that you could control Old Lus chronic illness from recurring proves that you indeed have some real abilities. Listening and believing is not my style, I only believe what I see. The process is not important, Im more concerned with the results. Ye Qing Han raised an eyebrow as he said with a faint smile.

He naturally knew of that divination about Lou Mu Yan. Divinations from the Divine Seer were never wrong, so towards Lou Mu Yans change, because of the divination from fifteen years ago, even he felt it was only a matter of course. Naturally, why Lou Mu Yan knew the Art of the Golden Needles had to do with her own fortuitous encounters, so he wouldnt ask.

Then do you mean that Im qualified to participate in your mercenary mission? Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow.

Ye Qing Han chuckled, Naturally. Our mission his time lacks a good Physician. We welcome your participation. Im the leader of this mission, Ye Qing Han.

When will we leave? Lou Mu Yan asked with a smilebest to leave as soon as possible.

Ye Qing Han glanced at Old Lu and the others and said: Initially we were planning to wait until the third day after Old Laos chronic illness flares up, but now we decided to leave tomorrow. Is that fine with you?

Thats fine, then its settled.

By the way, I heard that Young Miss Lou can completely cure Old Lus illness? Ye Qing Hans eyes revealed a look of expectation.

Lou Mu Yan smiled and said, Indeed I can, but right now I can only control the illness. If you want me to completely cure it, you need to pair the needles with medicine. Three sessions should be enough to treat and fully recover.

Then does Young Miss Lou have any conditions? Based on Lou Mu Yans background, not to mention how pampered and cherished she was in the Lou Clan, she wouldnt risk going to the Blazing Mountain Range for the puny thirty thousand gold coin rewardunless there were some secrets.

Admiration flashed by in Lou Mu Yans eyesthis man was indeed smart. She also preferred straightforward transactions, I require the Flame Fruit. After you guys help me obtain the Flame Fruit at the Blazing Mountain Range, I can treat Old Lu. Of course, if I end up not finding the Flame Fruit, I can only say Im unlucky, Ill still treat Old Lu. As for in exchange, well talk about it then. Well, either way, I wont make it difficult for you guys.

Very well, I agree. A smile rose on Ye Qing Hans handsome face.

Even though the Flame Fruit wasnt easy to obtain, if it could be used in exchange for Old Lus health, then they still benefited from this. Not to mention, whether it was Lou Mu Yans background or her very person, he felt that she was worth befriending. With such a beauty as company, their journey to the Blazing Mountain Range wouldnt be boring anymore either.

Then tomorrow at dawn well gather here and leave. Ye Qing Han thought for a moment, then smiled and added: Dont be late tomorrow, Young Miss Lou.Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m n0v𝒆lb(i)n.c(o)/m

Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at himwhat a petty man.

I know, see you tomorrow. I still need to make some preparations, so Ill leave first. Lou Mu Yan said with slight annoyance.

Ye Qing Hans deep black eyes were coloured with a smile, nodding: See you then.
