Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

“Hmph, are you trying to make things difficult for me?” Zhang Yuhong’s smile froze on his face. He patiently played the zither, confessed, and flirted. He had pretended to be infatuated for a long time, but Ling Chuxi was not moved at all. His anger rose as he covered the hand she had slapped away.

“So what if I am?” Ling Chuxi looked up, her face as cold as ice. Was he revealing his true colours?

“You don’t know what’s good for you! You should be grateful that I was attracted to you. I thought you were good and wanted to make you my wife. But since you don’t know what’s good for you, then you can’t blame me.” Zhang Yuhong’s face turned sour and a group of lackeys surrounded them from behind as they stared at Ling Chuxi and the others aggressively.

“What? Do you still want to use force?” asked Ling Chuxi calmly.

“So what if I use force? This is the rule of Qianzhong Ridge. Whoever has the biggest fist can do whatever they want.” Since they had already fallen out, Zhang Yuhong didn’t need to pretend to be elegant anymore.

“So you think your fist is big?” Ling Chuxi stood up.

The others also stood up. Jiang Wuhen raised the banner as the words ‘Sword Heart Gang’ danced in the air.

“Heh, I was wondering where the confidence came from. It turns out that it’s just a force that doesn’t stand out. You could have still had a chance to make a name for yourself if you had arrived earlier. But now, with the Zhang family taking over Dan Ling Town, you will have to obey me,” said Zhang Yuhong disapprovingly when he saw the words ‘Sword Heart Gang’.

The Zhang family was considered a large force in the Qianzhong Ridge. They were used to dealing with other forces, be they gangs, clans, or sects. But they had never heard of Sword Heart Gang. Clearly, this was just a small force and probably only had a few people in total. What kind of strength could they have?

In terms of numbers, he had really guessed correctly. There were indeed only a few people in Sword Heart Gang. As for their strength, he might have underestimated them.

Zhang Yuhong did not think much of it, but when Zheng Zhijun saw the words on the banner, his expression changed. No wonder they looked unfamiliar. It was them!

The Zheng family had been rooted in Dan Ling Town for hundreds of years, and thus had a lot of eyes and ears. With Dan Ling Town located at the outer border of Qianzhong Ridge, it was one of the necessary routes for people to go through in order to leave or enter the ridge. So it was inevitable for the Zheng family to be paying additional attention to new faces.

When Ling Chuxi and the others were still on their way, he had already received the news that a group of people were entering Qianzhong Ridge heading to Dan Ling Town. Moreover, they had been rumoured to not be weak as any one of them were already in the realm of True Essence. Then, he received the news that this group of people had displayed the banner of Sword Heart Gang. So the group he was looking at was definitely the one he had heard of.

Zheng Zhijun initially assumed that they were the descendants of a certain sect and had urgent matters that required them to pass through Qianzhong Ridge. Although under normal circumstances, the ordinary disciples of a sect would not be willing to set foot into Qianzhong Ridge, it would be a different matter if things were urgent. This was actually not rare. As for that banner, it was most likely used to deceive people.

The Zheng family may only be a small family clan, far from being comparable to the other forces. To be able to survive till today in Qianzhong Ridge, they had relied on 30% ability and 70% luck. Thus, they did not dare to offend people casually. When they had heard of the strength of these people, they knew that they had to ensure none of them provoked the newcomers.
