An eerily cold chill emanated from Murong Xiao"s body as he stared icily at Gu Ruoyun.

The Dragon Clan members had begun to feel suspicious over the things Murong Xiao had said when they saw the scarlet crystal hidden within the Dragon King"s body. Furthermore, Murong Xiao had not dared to try Gu Ruoyun"s suggestion, causing their suspicions to deepen.

"Long Xin, what is the meaning of this? Didn"t you tell us that this human could help us to solve the Dragon Clan"s problem? Why do I find that he has no abilities instead and claims that our Dragon Clan"s reproductive difficulties stem from an ancient curse?"

One elder, who had previously joined forces with Long Xin against a common enemy, instantly switched sides and angrily denounced him.

Long Xin"s expression has grown increasingly unsightly. It was likely that he does not know why this change has happened...

Everyone then began to criticize him one by one. It was obvious that the power Murong Xiao had displayed was not what they had expected.

"All of you, shut up!"

Long Xin finally lost his patience and bellowed furiously, "Lord Murong"s powers are unfathomable and there"s no need for him to lie to us. This is all that woman, Gu Ruoyun"s scheme. She is only a physician while Lord Murong is a Pill Master so she"s jealous! She has purposely plotted to bury Lord Murong. Why would Lord Murong reject her suggestion out of fear? The Lord simply does not wish for my innocent life to be taken away by a venomous woman like Gu Ruoyun!"

Long Xin spoke with so much sincerity that if his words were to fall into the ears of the ignorant, they would really believe that Murong Xiao had rejected Gu Ruoyun"s suggestion because he does not want Long Xin to be harmed.

Murong Xiao had not said a single word. He was standing arrogantly in midair as if no matter how much the people beneath him debated, it would not change their fate.

This Dragon Clan would belong to him.

Bang!

Suddenly, a powerful energy struck down from the sky and stopped the elders who had been angrily criticizing Long Xin. They stared fearfully at the man in the air who was masked in darkness.

"Are you done?"

Murong Xiao laughed coldly as his deep eyes stared at Gu Ruoyun. He raised his chin slightly and said, "Little girl, you have a slightly over-exaggerated view of your own abilities. There are also some people you should never, ever offend! Today, I"m going to give you a lesson that if you don"t keep your temper in check, you will be fated to lose out on this mainland! Perhaps you might even end up with your bones crushed, consigned to eternal d.a.m.nation!"

Gu Ruoyun chuckled softly. She then walked to Qianbei Ye"s side and sent the man in midair a sideways glance.

"I will return these words to you."

I will return these words to you...

Gasp!

Those who had felt Murong Xiao"s powerful energy gasped as if they were shocked by Gu Ruoyun"s a.s.sertiveness and confidence.


The Clan Leader was the only one who had stayed still. His eyes glanced at the peerless man who was by Gu Ruoyun"s side as he tried to guess when this man was going to act.

However, that man only continued to smile as he stared tenderly at the woman who was standing by his side. There was a sense of indulgence in his smile.

The Clan Leader does not know why but when he saw how Qianbei Ye was behaving at this moment, he could not help but feel that Qianbei Ye was indulging Gu Ruoyun?

That was right!

He was indulging her!

The Clan Leader was shocked. No wonder Gu Ruoyun had not accepted his offer when he had attempted to introduce the Dragon Clan"s youth to her! With such a perfect yet indulgent man by her side, who else could possibly hold her gaze?
