Right now, in the Great Hall of the Ling family, Elder Ling was looking at Ling Xi with his brows knitted together. Feeling a sense of discontentment, he said, "I know that you are worried about Gu Ruoyun refusing to accept your challenge right now, which is why you’ve purposely spread the rumor about her accepting the duel! However, the Hundred Herb Hall is not of ordinary! With such a lies of yours, you could easily piss off the forces behind the Hundred Herbal Hall!"
With a shady smile on his face, Ling Xi said, "Grandfather, please don't forget that the Weapon Refining Sect is our backup force! Besides that, haven’t you always wanted to obtain the Hundred Herb Hall for yourself? This is a good opportunity! I’ve already let the words out. It doesn't matter whether the commoners believe it or not. If the Hundred Herb Hall dares to step out to clear the rumors, they will only be looked down upon by the others!"
