Game Lord's Cultivation System

Gao Fushou held a calm demeanor as he reminded Huo Ning again. "As I have said before, you simply need to drop all of your valuables and you can run away. We have no interest in sullying you."

His words were filled with sincerity and within his eyesight, there is a bit of contempt there.

Huo Ning clenched the hilt of her sword tightly as she couldn't believe his words.

'The hell do you mean no interest?' She cursed silently. She was a refined and beautiful woman. The men that would flock to her could fill the entire streets of the capital, yet Gao Fushou was acting like she was some kind of pest.

How disrespectful could he be?

"Hmph, those are just lies spoken by a true hypocrite!" Huo Ning snorted coldly. She brandished her sword with spiritual qi, clearly ready to engage in a fight against them.

"You don't want to sully me and merely want my valuables? Only a fool would believe your words." She added.

Gao Fushou shrugged his shoulders.

"Although it might sound far-fetched, we truly have no interest in you. Those who consider you as a jade beauty are those with no powers or influences. Our Gao Clan has numerous of your types that would serve us daily." Gao Fushou said, defending his honor.

It was almost like being accused of even having lust for Huo Ning was a shameful thing for him.

His other companions held the same thoughts as they showed a disgusted expression at Huo Ning.

Facing such discrimination, Huo Ning gnashed her teeth in fury.

Just how could they treat a woman like her in such a dirty manner?

Meanwhile, Yang Liqin couldn't help but chuckle from the tree branch, mainly because she agreed with the three men's words.

Seriously, only a blind fool would have Huo Ning in their eyesight. Not only was she weak in her swordplay, but she was also an immature brat.

"Who's there!" Gao Fushou suddenly shouted when he heard the slight chuckle.

When the two companions heard Gao Fushou's shouting, they quickly retrieved their weapons and enhanced their senses. Clearly, they have been well-trained in such a situation.

Yang Liqin twitched her mouth at her slight blunder. Who would have thought she would expose herself?

She leaped down from the tree branch and calmly walked toward the group.

"Whoops, I was planning on just being a spectator. I hadn't expected to be exposed and found out." Yang Liqin calmly said.

Gao Fushou's senses were at an all-time high as he dared not underestimate Yang Liqin.

The mask and her body figure were enough to remind him who she was.

"M-May I ask what fellow cultivator Yiqin planned to do?" Gao Fushou asked stutteringly.

He was present on the scene when he witnessed her companion, Jiang Ming easily defeated Di Qiaowei and even cured his broken meridians.

Before entering the ancient ruin, the elder of his Gao Clan had specifically warned him to not take any rash action against them. Hence, he hasn't attacked nor spoken disrespectfully to Yang Liqin.

"F-Fellow Cultivator Yiqin, over here. It's me, Huo Ning from the Huo Clan." While Gao Fushou was pondering his next move, Huo Ning waved her hand and greeted Yang Liqin.

"E-Elder Huo Minyong is my uncle and you were talking with him at the entrance previously." She reminded Yang Liqin, thinking that she might have forgotten her.

"No need to remind me, Huo Ning. Of course, I remember you since you were defeated thoroughly by Di Qiaowei." Yang Liqin responded in a deadpan tone.

Huo Ning was baffled by her and wondered if she had done anything that offended her before. In her mind, they could be considered in a friendly relationship thanks to Huo Minyong giving them two quotas.

However, she had forgotten about the details in which the quotas were earned. It was because Jiang Ming had fought on their behalf to retain their honor.

As for Yang Liqin, she really didn't care about them and was just trying to watch the show.

'Sigh, I should have kept my laughter to myself.' She lamented inwardly, pondering over how to escape from this situation.

Of course, she could just give Huo Ning the middle finger and peace out, but that would ruin Jiang Ming's plan in building a friendly relationship with the Huo Clan.

She turned toward Gao Fushou and cupped her fist. "Apologies, but my Senior Brother has some ties with the Huo Clan, so I hope you can give me some face and leave."

"I know fellow cultivator Yiqin has been living in the mountainside, so you might not know about the mortal affairs. We are from different clans and it's natural for two clans to clash in an expedition." Gao Fushou kept his cool and explained to the best of his ability.

And he continued, "We are just trying to get her valuables to prevent her from hindering our paths. We are not trying to harm her or take her life in the process."

"Bullcrap! You are definitely trying to silence me to prevent my Huo Clan from seeking revenge." Huo Ning suddenly intervened and shouted.

'Aish, I really want to smack this dumb bitch far away!' Yang Liqin twitched her lips as she tried her best to restrain her emotion. She was here, trying to diffuse the situation, yet Huo Ning had to interrupt and spoiled her goal.

"Hmph, I was talking to fellow cultivator Yiqin, and not you." Gao Fushou snorted coldly. The only reason he was still talking to her was due to the presence of Yang Liqin. Otherwise, he would have already killed her for the audacity she spouted.

The atmosphere quickly turned silent with Yang Liqin standing perfectly still, seemingly in deep thought.

A few minutes later, Yang Liqin clasped her hand and stood in between Huo Ning and Gao Fushou.

"Since Gao Fushou has his difficulties and so do I, then how about we do this?" Yang Liqin said and extended her hand out.

"Let's exchange a few moves and if I win, then I hope Gao Fushou would kindly give me some face and drop this matter."
