Chapter 46: How Can You Ask Me For a Reward After Stealing My Worry-Relieving Gra.s.s?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Gu Qingxue saw Rong Zhan, she suddenly had a feeling that she had been schemed against.
It seemed that it was a lie to ask her for a reward today. These people had obviously set up a banquet for her.

“Rise.” Rong Zhan sat on the main seat generously, reaching out to take the tea from Liu Yi’s hand.
When Gu Qingxue saw Rong Zhan’s lazy expression, it was as if she was facing a great enemy.
This man was as confident and strong as she had seen him for the first time. Moreover, he was from the prince regent’s manor, so his status was either rich or n.o.ble. She, a village woman, could not resist him.
However, this did not mean that she was afraid of him.
“Is this young lady the one who got the Worry-Relieving Gra.s.s?” Fu Cheng looked at Gu Qingxue and could not help but sigh at her amazing appearance.
However, Fu Cheng only had time to take a look before he withdrew his gaze.
The pressure that Rong Zhan released made no one dare to be presumptuous. All of them lowered their heads and were as quiet as a chicken.
“Yes, I am Gu Qingxue. I pay my respects to the County Master and the Young Master. I wonder if the reward that the Young Master promised me can be delivered immediately? I still have something to do and I have to leave in a hurry.”Gu Qingxue was the only person in the crowd who could be neither servile nor overbearing, it was as if she could not feel the coldness emanating from Rong Zhan’s body. She faced him and smiled slightly, showing off the words ‘calm and unhurried’.
Rong Zhan remained silent, looking at Gu Qingxue from afar.
Just like when they first met, this woman’s eyes were as bright as cold stars, and there was no fear in her pitch-black pupils. She was so cold and aloof as if nothing was worthy of her eyes.
Even though she knew that his ident.i.ty was extraordinary, and also knew why he had lured her here, she was still fearless.
This woman’s courage was actually even greater than when he first met her.
“You stole my Worry-Relieving Herb. How can you have the face to ask for a reward from me?” Rong Zhan’s voice was as cold as ice, and his long narrow eyes shot out a bone-piercing coldness.
When everyone heard this, they were all dumbfounded.
Lady Gu stole the Young Master’s herb?
Was she tired of living?!
Liu Yi and the other two secret guards were even more serious. They only waited for Rong Zhan’s order to take down this audacious woman!
However, no one expected that Gu Qingxue was exposed by Rong Zhan, and still did not show any fear. Instead, she burst out laughing, “Young master really knows how to joke. This world’s treasure is s.n.a.t.c.hed by ability. Back then, I was the one who saw the Worry-Relieving Gra.s.s first. Young Master’s skill is inferior to others, so why are you questioning me instead? Or is it that you were not my match in a one-on-one fight back then, and now you want to use your advantage in numbers to kill a lowly commoner like me?”

“Lady… Lady Gu, you have to be careful with your words and actions! This is the Young Master from the prince regent’s manor…” Huang Rongfa nearly wet his pants in fear.
He had previously thought that Gu Qingxue was not a simple person, but he did not expect her to not be afraid of death!
“So what if someone from the prince regent’s manor came? There’s always a matter of first come, first served. I was the one who obtained this Worry-Relieving Gra.s.s with my own ability. However, if the Young Master insists on using the prince regent’s mansion’s power to do as he pleases, this common woman will have no choice but to submit. Take it that this common woman is unlucky and has offended an unreasonable person,” Gu Qingxue said as she submitted, however, her eyes were filled with stubbornness.
“This little woman is actually so eloquent…” Fu Cheng was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat when he heard Gu Qingxue’s words.
Did this little common woman know what kind of person was in front of her at this moment? She dared to speak so rudely and aggressively, forcing them not to make a move against her.
Otherwise, once they made a move, they would have a bad reputation for bullying the weak with their numbers.
Rong Zhan took in every expression of Gu Qingxue, and then, under everyone’s nervous gaze, he smiled.
