1394 Naive!
Lord Li stood up from his seat with wary eyes. “Lord Gen!”
He had never seen the new Lord Gen before, but Lord Li was certain that this unfamiliar guest was Lord Gen.
“Lord Li, I’ve heard much about you,” Ling Lan said indifferently.
“Why did Lord Gen come to visit me?” Lord Li signalled for the maids beside him to leave. Then, he continued, “We are enemies now. Isn’t it a little rash of you to come without any warning?”
“That is precisely the reason why I am here.” A majestic ice throne slowly condensed behind Ling Lan. She flicked back her gown and sat down cross-legged on the throne, giving off the impression that she was the owner of this palace.
Her sudden movement did shock Lord Li a little, but after he realized what she was implying by her actions, he felt a little infuriated and humiliated. He really abhorred those who didn’t have manners.
“Once the battle royale starts, the result will be decided on the battlefield. Even if you come and find me now, I can’t do anything.” Lord Li suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke with an unfriendly tone. If he had a choice, he wanted to kick this impolite brat out of his palace.
“I have no interest in this matter,” Ling Lan replied coldly. “I came because I want to ask you when you’re planning to return my goods to me.”
Lord Li was stunned. In a blink of an eye, he laughed loudly. “Hahaha, Lan Xiao, Lan Xiao, don’t you know that once the battle royale starts, everything you take becomes your spoils of war?”
“I honestly didn’t know that,” Ling Lan answered calmly.
“Now that you know, you can leave. Pardon me for not sending you out.” Lord Li stood up and waved his sleeve nonchalantly.
“There’s no need to hurry.” Ling Lan completely ignored Lord Li.
“What else do you want?” Lord Li replied furiously, “I’ve already made myself clear. Plus, I don’t welcome you here.”
“Didn’t you say that once the battle starts, everything you take is your spoils of war?” Ling Lan smiled. Her smile caused the entire palace to lit up. “I’m sure you have pretty good stuff locked up here.”
Lord Li was in a daze. He didn’t expect such a cold and unfriendly person to be so mesmerizing when he smiled. Fortunately, he liked women. If not, he might not be able to control himself.
Even so, Lord Li was still affected by the smile, slowing him down by a beat. After calming down, he finally realised that Lord Gen wanted to rob him.
At this realization, Lord Li exploded in anger. He curbed himself to the best of his ability because he didn’t want to fight with the other party. Every single move made by an imperial realm formidable warrior was lethal and terrifying. If two such individuals fought, carnage and destruction would follow.
While he was furious out of his mind, he was still confused. He and Lan Xiao weren’t life-or-death enemies. Nothing could be gained if they beat each other up. Plus, as someone who had been one of the 13 Lords for a long time, Lord Li treasured his life. How could he take the risk of dying?
However, even though he feared the possibility of death, he couldn’t possibly let Lan Xiao step all over him like that. When need be, he would fight to the tooth and nail
“Hahaha! You are pretty confident, huh?” Lord Li looked up at the sky and laughed heartily. Suddenly, he lowered his head to equal that of Ling Lan as he glared at Ling Lan sinisterly with a vicious gaze.”Don’t think that just because you killed the previous Lord Gen, you are able to do whatever you want in the Lawless Lands.”
Ling Lan softly yawned as her eyes stared into Lord Li nonchalantly. There weren’t any fluctuations in her emotions when she heard what Lord Li said. It felt as though everything Lord Li said was bullshit.
