A clear and cold light flashed in Gu Ruoyun"s eyes but her lucid and elegant features remained as indifferent as ever."In my opinion, joining any organization would cause me to be restricted! Hence, I will never agree to your request."
Besides, it was not worth giving up her freedom to devote her service to one mere Wind Valley alone.
"Since that"s the case, Lady Gu, I hope that you won"t forget your decision today."
Elder Bai"s eyes sank and his voice no longer held its initial amiable tone. Instead, it was now tinged with a chilly air.
"If there"s nothing else, I"ll leave now."
Gu Ruoyun glanced at Elder Bai as she spoke in an indifferent tone.
"Please."
Elder Bai scoffed before closing his eyes and did not say anything more. Gu Ruoyun did not delay anymore either as she immediately turned around and headed out of the guest house room. She had not bothered to turn back and look at Elder Bai the entire time.
A murderous intent flashed across Elder Bai"s eyes as he stared at Gu Ruoyun"s disappearing figure. He had balled his hand on the table into a tight fist.
"Gu Ruoyun, I had given you one more chance. Since you didn"t value it, don"t blame Wind Valley for being merciless!"
Night time.
Under the clear moonlight.
Gu Ruoyun was seated on the bed with her eyes closed in meditation in a room at the guest house. A faint spiritual energy circled around her and seeped into her body as she inhaled and exhaled.
Just then, she felt a sudden peculiar movement. Her brows twitched and she slowly opened her eyes.
"I never thought that someone would cause trouble for me the moment I set foot in Wind City. However, I wonder who on earth they could be?"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoos.h.!.+
Suddenly, countless figures smashed through the window and entered the room to stand in front of Gu Ruoyun.
Gu Ruoyun stared at the unwelcome guests before her and smiled indifferently. "Shall I guess who you are? Only Wind Valley is aware of my arrival in Wind City. If my guess is correct, you must be Feng Xiaoxiao"s a.s.sa.s.sins! I never intended to become mortal enemies with Wind Valley yet you won"t let me off."
From the moment Elder Bai had asked to see her, she knows that Wind Valley would definitely make a move against her.
She never thought that they would move so quickly!
That was right! She had previously refused to help Feng Yuqing because she does not want to have a total falling-out with Wind Valley.
However, that does not mean that she had made that decision because she was afraid of Wind Valley. Instead, she believes that there was no need for her to cause trouble for herself for the sake of someone whom she had just met!
"Hmph!"
The young leader of the group scoffed icily and did not reply to Gu Ruoyun"s question. Instead, he attacked her immediately.
Boom!
A fist landed and the entire bed shattered into pieces. Gu Ruoyun rose to the sky and moved threateningly towards the group with a cold look in her eye.
"You"ve sent a group of a.s.sa.s.sins at the exceeding state to deal with an early-stage Martial Saint like me! Wind Valley has really overestimated me."
Elder Bai had followed Feng Xiaoxiao"s orders exactly. If he wants to move against Gu Ruoyun, he has to kill her in one strike. Otherwise, it would lead to endless trouble. This time, he had pulled out the big guns! The lowest ranked amongst the a.s.sa.s.sins sent to carry out this task were at the early-stage of the exceeding state!
Hence, Gu Ruoyun could not help but sigh in grief. She was not exactly on friendly terms with Feng Xiaoxiao but she could not help but admire this woman.
This woman was not the type of person who was extremely conceited or ent.i.tled. Instead, she was cautious in everything that she did. Feng Xiaoxiao knows that if she does not kill Gu Ruoyun this time, she could never be able to control her in the future! Hence, that was why the a.s.sa.s.sins she had sent were all cultivators at the exceeding state including one who was already at the late-stage of the exceeding state.
