Ming Lingyi and Cai Jie turned at the sound of the voice.
Ming Lingyi immediately recognized the woman in the lead, dressed in a striking red outfit.
Who else could it be but Qin Lingzhi, the very same one they had run into at Qinglong Temple?
At Qinglong Temple, Qin Lingzhi had been thoroughly infuriated by Jiang Yuchuan and Xu Qian. She was even forced to lower her head and apologize to Cai Jie, a moment of utter humiliation for her.
She had wanted to get even with Cai Jie afterward, but that day, the devil-may-care Xu Qian had declared in front of everyone that if anything happened to the "country girl" in Shangjing City from then on, he would hold Qin Lingzhi responsible.
Qin Lingzhi wanted to ignore such ridiculous words, but the temple had been full of the ladies and madams of Shangjing City that day. Recently, a number of rumors about her had been circulating in the Capital City—none of them good.
