Chu Luo eyed Gu Ruoyun in astonishment as she asked, "Master, do you have a grudge against the Wen family?"A grudge?
If the Wen family members do turn out to be the hidden instigators, how could this remain as a grudge? We would be mortal enemies!
Nonetheless, Gu Ruoyun did not say this out loud but the cold and distant air emanating from her being answered Chu Luo"s question...
"You two should go back and get some rest first."
Gu Ruoyun slowly closed her eyes as she spoke in a calm voice, "Come back here tomorrow."
"Yes, Master."
Zi Yun and Chu Luo joined their fists before walking out of the room.
Once they have left, Gu Ruoyun opened her eyes. There was a thick murderous intent flickering in her pupils.
"Master," Tianqiong looked at Gu Ruoyun as he spoke with a grim look on his face. "If that man in black really is Sir Shengxiao, that means that he has somehow escaped from the Wen family"s clutches. Even though we don"t know where he is right now, at least he"s not in immediate danger."
Gu Ruoyun nodded gently and a cold smile appeared on her lips, "Tianqiong, Chi, if you should ever run into the members of the Wen family, don"t hold back! They had the audacity to kidnap my big brother from the West Spirit Mainland, I"ll never let them get away with it!"
She had not managed to protect her loved ones in her past life.
Therefore, she would do her best to protect the ones by her side during this life.
If anyone dares to plot against them, they would have to pay the price. She will slaughter them all! Noone shall be spared!
"Yes, Master," came Tianqiong and Chi"s respectful reply in unison.
...
Dawn, the following day.
Countless forces have gathered once again at Celestial Mountain"s summit. Almost immediately, Gu Ruoyun noticed Wen Ya"s figure in the crowd.
Wen Ya was still dressed in long, light yellow robes and looked n.o.ble and graceful. The violet sash around her waist was particularly refined, granting her already pretty features an extra bit of color. As a result, some of the men from the other organizations kept glancing at her.
"It"s you!"
Suddenly, someone cried out angrily from behind her.
When Gu Ruoyun turned around, she came face-to-face with Murong Qian"s pretty and pampered face.
Murong Qian"s eyes were spitting fire as she glared angrily at Gu Ruoyun, staring at her as if she wanted to tear Gu Ruoyun into ten thousand pieces.
Murng Qian would never forget that the Murong family had lost so many powerful cultivators all because of this woman! It was also because of this woman that she had to face such a huge humiliation for the first time! Each time Murong Qian thought about it, she would feel as if ants were nibbling on her heart. It hurt so badly that it was hard to endure.
Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders as her face filled with exasperation.
Is this what "enemies on a narrow road" means?
I had b.u.mped into the Wen family members yesterday and now the Murong family members have appeared too.
Out of the Three Great Protectors, only the Ouyang family has yet to appear...
"Xiao Qian, what"s going on?"
Just as Gu Ruoyun sighed, a gentle and graceful voice spoke up from her side. Gu Ruoyun then saw Wen Ya who had arrived next to her. She turned her graceful gaze towards Murong Qian and gently raised her willowy brows.
"Older Sister Wen Ya, this woman is Gu Ruoyun and she"s the culprit behind the deaths of the Wen and Murong family"s cultivators!"
Murong Qian pointed at Gu Ruoyun as she replied angrily.
At that moment, every organization in Celestial Mountain turned their attention towards Gu Ruoyun. Aside from shock in their eyes, most of it was pity.
This woman had killed cultivators from the Murong and the Wen family? Was she really that powerful?
