“Young Master.”
A guard who was standing behind Li Ying seemed to remember Gu Ruoyun’s name and spoke up urgently, “We’d better just give up...”
“Give up? How can we give up? Is it because the opposition is a woman and a child? Is an indecisive person like you fit to become the Li family’s guard?”
“It’s not that, Young Master, it’s this Gu Ruoyun...”
“Shut your mouth!”
Li Ying bellowed and cut the guard off. He then turned his gaze towards Gu Ruoyun and coldly remarked, “You two are in my way. I must teach you a good lesson.”
Li Ying then wrapped his hand in spiritual energy and charged towards Gu Ruoyun.
Bang!
His fist smashed into Gu Ruoyun. At the same moment, a powerful force ricocheted from her body and tossed Li Ying away. Blood began to drip from his hand, turning his entire hand in red.
Li Ying was shocked and he stared at the tranquil Gu Ruoyun in astonishment. His eyes filled with confusion.
I had clearly used all of my power but not only was I unable to hurt her at all, I had suffered injuries from a backlash...
How can this be?
“Young Master!”
The guard quickly rushed to Li Ying’s side and blurted the words which had been interrupted previously. “I’ve heard of Gu Ruoyun,” he stammered. “Or should I say, no one in the East Peak Mainland is unaware of her. She was the woman who had successfully refined a pill in the Medicine Sect’s general meeting several years ago and she did not even pay any regard to Wind Valley’s Eldest Lady. Furthermore, she’s also Grand Lord Hong Lian’s daughter and the Holy Doctor, Bai Zhongtian’s disciple...”
Crash!
Those words landed like a lightning strike on a clear day, stunning Li Ying.
Gu Ruoyun!
I remember now!
I was wondering why her name had sounded so familiar. Is this really her? They said that Gu Ruoyun had journeyed to the First City so what is she doing here? I had even run into her...
When he remembered the things he had said, a wave of terror crept up from his heart. He punched his guard in anger and roared furiously, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
The guard was aggrieved, “Young Master, it was you who had refused to let me speak.”
His Young Master’s goal was to enter the First City so he had only prioritized news concerning the First City! Therefore, though he had heard Gu Ruoyun’s name before, he had quickly forgotten about her. This was why he had not remembered Gu Ruoyun.
The Red Lotus Territory?
Cui Rong was stunned as she stared at Gu Ruoyun’s lucid and elegant features.
If she remembers correctly, three years ago, this Lady had asked Que’er to journey towards the First City to look for her! Now that she has seen Li Ying’s reaction, could it be that she really was a member of the First City?
Cui Rong’s heart leaped in joy at the thought of this. Their Que’er has indeed met a noble person this time.
“Lady Gu.”
Li Ying was frightened to the point of stupidity and it took him a long time to recover his senses. He then hurriedly crawled up from the ground and threw himself down again into a kneeling position in front of Gu Ruoyun. “I really didn’t know that it was you. I beg for your generosity, oh Great One, spare me this one time. I won’t dare to do it again.”
He was finished. He was finished. He has really kicked the hornet’s nest this time.
However, how could he have known that Gu Ruoyun would come here and take a liking towards this little girl, Que’er?
“Beat it!” Gu Ruoyun’s voice was just as chilly as ever. “Don’t ever show your face in front of me again.”
“Yes.”
When he heard this, Li Ying felt as if he had just been granted amnesty. He quickly led the Li family guards and ran out of the place, afraid that if they were to tarry, Gu Ruoyun might change her mind. By then, he would never be able to escape...
Gu Ruoyun slowly walked towards Cui Rong who was lying on the bed. “Wanbai, step aside. Let me take a look at your mother’s condition.”
