After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 17 Reap the consequences
Following her memory, Lin Zhao quickly found the staff's room, located the old man who had initially greeted her and Ning Wengui, and confirmed that Lü Mei had not yet left. She then obtained the location of Lü Mei's private room and quickly went there.

Just as she was about to push open the door to the private room where Lü Mei was, her grandmother suddenly spoke.

"Girl, be careful, there are four cultivators at the Enlightenment stage around this room."

Lin Zhao paused, stopping at the doorway.

"However, you also have a Golden Core cultivator following you. This person should have been arranged by your family. He is more than capable of dealing with these four Enlightenment stage cultivators," Grandma reminded you with a smile.

Lin Zhao's eyes lit up. The Golden Core cultivator must be the bodyguard her father had arranged for her.

"The adult arranged by my father, could you do me a favor?"

Lin Zhao left the area around the private room and found a secluded spot to speak quietly.

A moment later, an old man in a gray robe appeared before her, respectfully bowing to her: "Your subordinate is Zheng Quan. Young Master, you flatter me. What are your orders, Young Master?"

As he spoke, he was somewhat surprised. Although he was only at the late stage of the Golden Core realm, his stealth and escape skills were superior to those of even some Golden Core Grand Perfection cultivators. That was why Lin Mang had arranged for him to be Lin Zhao's bodyguard.

But now the girl in front of him can actually sense his presence. No wonder she is the young master on whom the family has placed high hopes.

"Uncle Zheng, could you please help me deal with the four Enlightenment stage cultivators lurking around that private room?"

Zheng Quan nodded, and his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Lin Zhao was dumbfounded. Was this the Shrinking Earth Technique, a skill only Golden Core cultivators possessed? And this speed seemed even faster than that of ordinary Golden Core cultivators?
My father actually kept someone with such cultivation by his side.

You should know that back in the Cloud Peak, let alone the protection of Golden Core stage guards, Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable never arranged even a Foundation Establishment stage companion for her.

"As the young master of a noble family, it is only natural for you to be a Golden Core stage bodyguard. It was your previous master who was too unreliable to do such a thing. Just watch... after you leave, his precious disciple will not get away with it."

Lin Zhao was talking to her grandmother when Zheng Quan reappeared in front of her: "Young Master, it's been resolved without alerting the people inside."

In just a few breaths, he had dealt with four cultivators at the Enlightenment stage!
This is the unassailable gap between the Golden Core stage and the Enlightenment stage.

"Thank you, Uncle Zheng."

Lin Zhao arrived at the door of the private room again and pushed it open to enter.

Lu Mei was sitting on a bench in the private room, holding something in her hand, her eyes filled with a triumphant and fierce look.

"Lin Zhao, don't blame me. Blame yourself for having such a seductive face. You had a fiancé from the Holy Land, yet you seduced His Highness the Crown Prince. You deserve this trouble."

As she spoke, Lü Mei stroked the aphrodisiac bottle in her hand, a smug smile on her face.

She used this drug to scheme against the young ladies who opposed her in the capital, and it always worked.

Otherwise, with so many young ladies in the capital who admire Ning Wengui, why did the royal family only notice her?
Of course, it's because her opponents are no longer qualified to be her opponents.

It's a bit of a pity. Given Lin Zhao's talent and status, even if this matter succeeds, it can only annoy her, not completely ruin her.

Lü Mei sighed. If she could find a group of beggars for Lin Zhao, who had been drugged... it would be best if they could do it in public, so that everyone would know that Lin Zhao was a promiscuous woman.

"If only it could be like that."

Immersed in her own world, Lü Mei was completely unaware of the sounds around her.

Lin Zhao coldly stared at Lü Mei, who was sitting there holding a bottle of aphrodisiac. She could sense that Lü Mei's cultivation level was almost the same as hers, both being in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

However, not all late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators are the same. Lin Zhao was confident that although she had only just entered the late stage, few people of the same level could be her match.

With a swift movement, Lin Zhao reached the other party and grabbed her by the neck in the instant Lü Mei reacted.

"You!" Lü Mei's eyes widened, half in surprise and half in fear.

What surprised them was why Lin Zhao was standing there unharmed, and what terrified them was why their bodyguards hadn't given them any warning.

Or……

As she thought of something, despair filled Lü Mei's eyes.

"You've figured it out?" Lin Zhao sneered.

With her neck being gripped, Lü Mei managed to curse with difficulty: "Hmph, you only managed to escape because you were lucky enough to return to the Lin family. If you were still on Cloud Peak... according to what Fairy Luo Luo said, how could a dog like you from Cloud Peak have any helpers!"

Her words were clearly intended to provoke Lin Zhao. Since Lin Zhao was here, it meant that he already knew all of her methods, so it would be ridiculous to continue to feign compliance.

Since there's no way to escape anyway, I might as well vent all my anger at once.

She refused to believe that Lin Zhao would dare to do anything to her, the prince's fiancée, in the Youlan Empire!
Seeing the confidence in Lü Mei's eyes, Lin Zhao naturally knew what she was thinking and said calmly, "I naturally won't do anything to you. However, I can't be sure what you're planning to do to yourself."

When she dragged Lü Mei to her original room, Lü Mei's pupils contracted.

Lü Mei was incredibly clever. The aphrodisiac she had applied to the room seemed to have no effect on Lin Zhao, but it certainly had an effect on her!

Lin Zhao threw her to the ground, took the porcelain bottle from Lü Mei's hand and put it away, glanced at Ning Wenyue lying on the ground, and said, "Enjoy the grand show you've set up yourself."

After saying that, she walked out of the door, closed it, and set up a barrier to prevent outsiders from entering and people inside from leaving.

At this moment, Ning Wengui and Butler Wang returned after finishing their business. Seeing Yang Huihui and Lin Zhao waiting at the door, they asked, "What's wrong? Why aren't you waiting inside?"

Yang Huihui sneered: "I don't want to stay in that filthy place!"

Ning Wengui looked at Lin Zhao with suspicion.

With no one else around, Lin Zhao set up a soundproof barrier and succinctly explained what had happened.

“These two…” A shadow fell over Ning Wengui’s eyes.

"Let them have this place; it just means the auction house staff will have another big job."

Ning Wengui remained silent for a moment, then turned to Steward Wang and said, "In a little while, say that this room is on fire and bring a group of guests to see it. Also, each room has a recording stone, right? Use some means to give the recordings here to Father, and find a way to let other high-ranking officials in the capital see them. Father should also set a wedding date for them."

Butler Wang's eyes lit up: "Yes!"

Lin Zhao gave Ning Wengui a thumbs up. Compared to himself, this person was truly killing them emotionally. He had only paired people up, while Ning Wengui had bound the two together forever!

This might not mean much to Ning Wenyue, but for Lü Mei...

That would probably be even more painful than killing her!

Even so, Lin Zhao felt no sympathy for her. If it weren't for the secret guards arranged by her grandmother and father, she would have been the one who lost face today. Lü Mei was just reaping what she sowed.
