My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Chapter 23: Shock

When Lou Mu Yan entered, Xiao Zi Ang and Yun Luo were studying her as well.

Now, the interest in their eyes thickenedLou Mu Yan really did change. Their impression of her was of a woman who liked to wear gorgeous and fancy clothes with thick, heavy makeup. Every time they met Chi Yi Xuan, she would always be there.

Though she was indeed a beauty before, but there was a different beauty to her now with her elegant and simple purple dress, her stunning face without any makeup and the brightness and cleverness in her eyes. The temperament was far too different that if it werent for the same face, they almost mistook them for two different people.

Lou Mu Yan, you advanced to a Great Sword Master? Yun Lan deliberately checked her cultivation base when Lou Mu Yan entered. She really did advance to the Great Sword Master Stage, which meant the information was true. Her Terminal Meridians constitution was really eradicated.

Lou Mu Yans remained composed, and she lifted her eyes slightly and said with modesty: It was just a fluke.

Young Miss Lou really is too modest. You could break through to the Great Sword Master Stage relying on a fluke, I suspect eradicating your Terminal Meridians constitution was also a fluke? Xiao Zi Ang raised his eyebrows with a smile. He did feel fluctuations of Elemental Energy from Lou Mu Yanwhich meant this woman really cured her Terminal Meridians constitution.

Lou Mu Yan glanced sideways at the tall and handsome man with thick eyebrows and large eyes. Seeing that his eyes were full of scrutiny and interest, she nodded: Yes. It was also a fluke that I eradicated it.

There wasnt a need to conceal this matter. Either way, as long as she used Elemental Energy, everyone would know that her Terminal Meridians constitution was cured.

As soon as she said it, everyone in the private room revealed differing expressions, but they were all shocked and surprised.

What a fluke. This one, Xiao, is not talented, but liked to study medicine. Could I ask Young Miss Lou how you got rid of your stubborn Terminal Meridians ailment through a fluke?

Xiao Zi Ang loved to research medicine and the Path of the Alchemist. He was also exceptionally talented and was a most sought-after Alchemist on this land.

Although he couldnt believe that the Terminal Meridians constitution could be eradicated, but with the fluctuations of Elemental Energy from Lou Mu Yan, it confirmed that it was true.

He was only guessing at first, but after acquiring Lou Mu Yans confirmation, aside from shock, his heart was as if it was being scratched by a cat¹

, and he wanted to know what method Lou Mu Yan used to eradicate her Terminal Meridians constitution. All of the records on any pharmacopoeia noted that this constitution could not be eradicated.

Lou Mu Yan chuckled softly and said: Are we familiar with each other?

Not quite familiar. Xiao Zi Ang replied reflexively.

Then why should I tell you? Lou Mu Yan didnt bother to talk to him anymore, and turned to look at Yun Lan, saying: Cousin, Im hungry.

Yun Lan nodded with a smile, casted a glance at a person behind them, and the person went out to ask to serve the food.

Meanwhile, Xiao Zi Ang chocked. The past Lou Mu Yan was very polite to them because they had a good relationship with Chi Yi Xuan, so he didnt expect that she would dodge the question like this. He cast a gloomy glance at Chi Yi Xuan.

Despite receiving Xiao Zi Angs look, Chi Yi Xuan didnt say anything to question Lou Mu Yan. Lou Mu Yan was very cold towards him now, and like she said, she wasnt interested anymore.

He could feel that Lou Mu Yan really wasnt playing hard to get, and it made him feel rather complicated and contradictory. This sort of feeling was very unfamiliar to him, and uncomfortable.

Im familiar with you, you can tell me. Yun Jin leaned in right beside Lou Mu Yans ear and a faint smell of medicine lingered near his nose, suddenly making him not want to distance himself.

Lou Mu Yan felt an itchy sensation from the tips of her ears. Yun Jin was so close that his breath fell on the base of her neck and ears.

She frowned unconsciously, then stretched out her hand and pushed Yun Jins face away. She didnt like being so close to people.

Im not familiar with you either.

Although Yun Jin was pushed aside, he didnt mind either, then said with a grin: Then youre at least familiar with Yi Xuan right?

Hearing Yun Jins question, everyone in the room, including Chi Yi Xuan, casted their gazes onto Lou Mu Yan, wanting to hear her answer.

Seeing everyones curious gazes landing on her, ridicule rose on Lou Mu Yans exquisite and elegant face.

Am I familiar with him? Why dont I know that? Lou Mu Yan glanced at Yun Jin casually and spit out the cold words.

Her words made their expressions change, and Chi Yi Xuans face that already looked slightly ugly turned even uglier. Yun Jin also smiled awkwardly.

Yun Lan, however, was rather pleased with his cousins change. Yun Luo also felt that Lou Mu Yan was even more interesting than before, while Xiao Zi Ang was simply desperate to know just how Lou Mu Yans Terminal Meridians constitution was eradicated.

Lets eat, arent you guys hungry? Seeing that the food was almost all served, and the atmosphere was a little weird, Lou Mu Yan picked up the chopsticks without restraint, picked up a piece of chicken to put in her mouth, then raised her head to ask them.

Seeing that his friends face was dark and ugly, Yun Jin felt that his actions then were a little reckless. Although he liked to watch good shows, but he felt a little apologetic towards putting his friend in an awkward situation. So he followed Lou Mu Yans lead and grabbed a piece of chicken, smiling and said: Lets eat, lets eat.

The rest also picked up their chopsticks, though only for show, as their thoughts were elsewhere.

Lou Mu Yan was immersed in the food and swept up a third of the dishes on the table. She was really hungry. But even though she ate fast, she gave people an elegant feeling.

Yun Jin followed Lou Mu Yans lead and grabbed the food she took, but food was just food, so why was it that it looked so fragrant when Lou Mu Yan ate it?

After eating until she was eight-tenths full, Lou Mu Yan placed her chopsticks down, took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth. The others had no heart to eat to begin with, so seeing that she put her chopsticks down, they also stopped.

By the way, will Mu Yan go to the auction this afternoon? Yun Lan remembered that they would go to the auction after their meal and recalling that the Lou Clan also received an invitation, he asked.

Lou Mu Yan blinked and asked curiously: What auction? It couldnt be that large auction she always wanted to attend could it?

Dont you know? Xiao Zi Ang intercepted: Every three years, the Ming Alliance of Merchants would hold a large-scale auction in the Imperial Capital, but this time they moved the date up by two months. Only those influential, distinguished clans in the Imperial Capital could receive an invitation and only those with invitations could participate. You didnt receive an invitation at the Generals Mansion? Thats impossible!

Only then did Lou Mu Yan remember that she received a golden invitation from Lou Mu Bai before she left for the Blazing Mountain Range. As she was hurrying to the Mercenary Union at the time, she didnt ask for the specifics and completely forgot to read it. She took out the invitation from her interspatial ring and opened it.

The content on the invitation matched what Xiao Zi Ang said. She remembered the auction would be held in two months, but she didnt think it would be ahead of schedule. Fortunately she met these people, otherwise she wouldve missed it. Read latest 𝒏ov𝒆ls at n𝒐velbi𝒏(.)com

My eldest brother gave me one, but I forgot to read it. Lou Mu Yan closed the invitation, eyes full of expectation: Of course Ill go.

She naturally wanted to try her luck to see if she could gather all the Spiritual Herbs for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Are you going alone? Are your two elder brothers not going? Yun Lan and Lou Mu Ting had a good relationship. He heard that Lou Mu Ting returned from the frontier, but he hadnt seen him yet, so he was curious as to what he was up to.
