Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss Chapter 669 - Critical Situation

Chapter 669: Critical Situation

The Ling family had survived many tough years, and it had taken a lot for them to rise to where they were today. If Nan Xia Country was destroyed, it was not certain if the Ling family could carry on, or even be rebuilt again. Both Nan Xia Country and the Ling Family needed each other; one could not thrive without the other, and that was the honest truth. Among the numerous family clans in Nan Xia Country, the one who least wished for anything to happen to it was the Ling family.

“Are there any problems at home then?” Ling Chuxi asked.

“Some people from Wu Feng Hall tried to attack our Ling family, but they were beaten up and sent away by Elder Su. The Ling family was saved thanks to them,” the second elder said gratefully.

“I’m very grateful for your a.s.sistance, Old Su,” Ling Chuxi said sincerely to Su Yizhi.

“Chuxi, there’s no need for thanks between us,” Su Yizhi said dismissively, an affectionate smile on his face.

“Old Su, when the matter with Nan Xia Country is settled, I will do my best to fulfil the promise I made back then,” Ling Chuxi said seriously, referring to the revival of the Golden Pill Sect. She didn’t want Second Elder and the rest to worry, so she couldn’t say it out loud.

“Ah, there’s no rush for that,” Su Yizhi said rea.s.suringly.

“Also, Chuxi, when you returned to Nan Xia Country this time, did you meet anyone from Wu Feng Hall?” Su Yizhi asked Ling Chuxi curiously.

“When I arrived at Gu Yang City, I met Ren Youran. That fellow self-exploded his Battle Qi and seemed to want to fight to the death—even I was shocked! In the end, he fled before even attacking,” Ling Chuxi scoffed, both angered and amused.

“Ren Youran, that sc.u.m!” The moment the crowd heard this name, their expressions changed. Ren Youran was infamous in Nan Xia Country and his tyrannical cultivation was one they all knew, so they were shocked when Ling Chuxi said she had encountered him. Chuxi would not lie, and if Ren Youran had resorted to self-exploding his Battle Qi to escape when he saw Ling Chuxi, they could only imagine how strong Ling Chuxi’s current cultivation was.

“How is Mister Mo now?” That was the one thing Ling Chuxi was most concerned about.

“Mister Mo’s current situation is not very promising,” Su Yizhi admitted, and the crowd turned sombre. “I believe you are clear on the purpose of a guardian, and it is truly because of Mister Mo that the entire country, from the emperor to the officials, is somewhat stable despite this critical situation.

“If Mister Mo was not around, Chu Fengyun would have surely gone on to attack the officials and army generals. If such important people were killed, Nan Xia Country’s court would have fallen into chaos, and would not have been able to hold on until now. It might seem like the key to Nan Xia Country’s survival is the Iron Stone Fort, but it is actually Mister Mo.

“However, this time, Mister Mo’s injuries are too serious. I used the Crisis Reverse Pill to stabilize his injuries after much difficulty, but after a few duels with Chu Fengyun, his injuries became even more severe. If not for his burning determination to take Chu Fengyun down with him, he would have left this world long ago at the hands of that man.

“Chu Fengyun knows this and believes there are no successors amongst the younger generation of Nan Xia, so he wanted to take his time to bring him down. He has already dragged it on for quite some time. I am worried that if things continue like this, Mister Mo will not be able to hold on for much longer,” Su Yizhi explained, his face tense with worry.

“Chu Fengyun!” Ling Chuxi bit out furiously, gritting her teeth in frustration. She would definitely not let this shameless, despicable person off so easily!
