LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 187: Challenge Again_2
Just his ability to attract a Heavenly Tribulation at the Fifth Grade already surpasses that senior from the First Peak of the Central State Sword Sect with the Innate Sword Body!
Thinking this way, her eyes gradually became resolute.
After leaving a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone in the room, she stealthily left the place.
She headed to the Gu Family Mansion again!
When she once again stood outside the Gu Family Mansion, her mindset was utterly different.
The first time she stood here, she came with the certainty of victory, intending to challenge and bring back the Young Dragon, to prove to her clan that she was strong enough, to show those geniuses of Central State her capabilities!
Then, she would have gone to challenge the Saint Heir from the Ninth Peak of the Sword Sect!
However, upon standing here the second time, she wasn't as confident in her heart.
But Dongfang Mingyue still stood straight, like a sword poised to strike.
Before she could speak, a Deacon in front of the Gu Family Mansion recognized her as the previous challenger.
"Isn't that the girl who lost a Heavenly Rank Flying Sword to the Young Master?"
A Deacon at the entrance of the Gu family suddenly brightened up and said.
"It really does seem like her!"
"Looks like she's here to challenge the Young Master again, huh?"
"But this time she's only holding a lower Earth Rank Flying Sword, doesn't that mean she has even less of a chance?"
"It's hard to say... after all, this lady's Realm is no joke, Sixth Grade Late Stage of Refining Void Realm, if she doesn't suppress her Realm, her strength will naturally be much more terrifying than the last time."
"What's there to say? If she's facing someone else, maybe, but against the Young Master... I say it's all the same."
Before the girl could even speak, the Deacons of the Gu family hurried back to the Inner Court, planning to report the news of her arrival to the Young Master.
Seeing that the girl who had challenged Young Master Gu had returned, the onlooking crowd naturally gathered around without any prompting.
Only this time, what they mostly discussed was whether it would be the same as last time, when Young Master Gu hadn't even made a few moves before the girl was overwhelmed.
In the face of these discussions, Dongfang Mingyue was as calm as still water.
She wasn't influenced by these comments.
She also didn't wait for the people of the Gu Family to report her, and, with her Spiritual Power enhanced, she shouted toward the Inner Court of the Gu family: "Dongfang Mingyue, has come to challenge Young Master Gu Changge!"
"She really did come to challenge again!"
"Heh, now we've got another great show to watch. I wonder if this girl has prepared anything else."
"Last time, she lost a Heavenly Rank Flying Sword, and such a quality Magic Treasure is rare even in the Northern Domain!"
"She's like a cash cow for Young Master Gu!"
"I'm not so sure, maybe this time she won't be offering a Treasure but herself instead?"
"Last time she did say that if she lost, she would marry Young Master Gu."
"But it seems like Young Master Gu... is not too keen on the idea."
Hearing her announcement, the crowd affirmed that she truly intended to challenge Young Master Gu again.
The area became lively in an instant.
However, someone's unrestrained words made Dongfang Mingyue frown and look over.
When their eyes met, that person quickly made a gesture of apology.
Although Dongfang Mingyue didn't say much more, the discussions she overheard made her somewhat doubtful.
Indeed...
She indeed wanted a Husband who was stronger than herself.
But...
This guy showed no interest last time, what if he doesn't want to this time either?
She didn't bring any Magic Treasures with her, he couldn't refuse to fight her just because she didn't have a Magic Treasure to offer as a prize, could he?
She realized the problem, Gu Changge was not like those geniuses from Central State who came eagerly to challenge her.
Those who wanted to become her Daoist Couple.
He had already rejected her once!
How could she be sure he wouldn't do it again?
This sudden thought had Dongfang Mingyue regretting her decision, considering a retreat.
If she was rejected again, the embarrassment would be monumental.
From Central State, the disgrace would reach all the way to the Northern Domain!
...
At the Gu Family, outside the Young Master Palace.
Gu Changge had just settled down with his Wives.
Curiously inspecting his newly built Young Master Palace.
Then he heard the familiar voice.
"Is that the girl?"
Wang Yue asked with a smile, looking at her Husband.
"Indeed." Gu Changge nodded and began to walk outside.
Whether or not a Daoist Couple could be formed, at least the Dongfang Family seemed quite powerful, and perhaps they might even bring him some new treasures this time.
With that thought, he also casually picked up the Heavenly Rank Flying Sword leaning against the door of the Young Master Palace.
He hadn't yet Refining the Flying Sword to prevent any trouble in case the Dongfang Family couldn't afford to lose; it could be used to trade for some other benefits.
"I want to go watch, too!"
Yuan Youbai, having just chosen a room, heard the commotion and hurriedly ran out, following Lord Jun's steps.
Liu Qingqing and Wang Yue exchanged a look and followed as well.
"Sister, what do you think about that girl?"
Wang Yue casually asked.
"She is extremely beautiful, her personality... let's just say she's straightforward, but she's honest and can afford to lose."
"As for her family background, it's definitely better than yours and mine."
"Her Realm is also higher than both of ours."
"Overall, she's quite excellent."
Liu Qingqing casually voiced her opinion.
However, Wang Yue blinked mischievously and said, "Sister, what are you even saying? I was asking if you think that girl has a chance against Lord Jun."
"..."
Liu Qingqing's steps faltered, and she chose to stop talking.
Seeing this, Wang Yue covered her mouth and giggled quietly, no longer teasing on purpose.
But she had also gotten a sense of Liu Qingqing's view.
Then she too would follow with the same intention, as it would still be for the benefit of Lord Jun, and if the girl truly caught Lord Jun's eye, that would be her greatest fortune.
