Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Little girl, I've helped to chase him away. How are you going to thank me?" Zixie's demonic, smiling eyes landed upon Gu Ruoyun as he spoke with a flirty voice. "How about you devote your life to me? What do you think?"
Gu Ruoyun has learned to turn a blind eye to Zixie's cajoling so she was able to remain calm in the face of his teasing.
However, Zi Yun was not able to comprehend the situation as he stared cautiously at Zixie.
This man was very powerful and should be on par with Lord Qianbei. How had Master gotten such a powerful man by her side?
This man also does not seem to have normal feelings towards our Master!
Oh no, oh no! Lord Qianbei has a love rival!
Zi Yun's expression changed when he thought of this as his heart silently grappled with how he should report this to Qianbei Ye. After all, they were Qianbei Ye's subordinates in the past and Qianbei Ye had gifted the large palace to Gu Ruoyun. Hence, as a member of the Devil Sect, he holds the hope for Gu Ruoyun and Qianbei Ye to tie the knot eventually.
"Zixie." Gu Ruoyun smiled calmly. "Let's continue to wait here. I believe that the members of the Secret Order will come again tomorrow!"
Chu Luo shook and stared at Gu Ruoyun in confusion.
The members of the Secret Order will come again tomorrow? How was she so certain?
Besides, she had not been in a hurry to leave this place. Was she able to anticipate the Left Emissary's arrival? Had she purposely waited for him here?
"Master, how do you know that the members of the Secret Order would come here again?"
Without waiting for Chu Luo to speak up, Zi Yun asked the question on her mind.
"The Secret Order has lived in secrecy for so many years so why should they suddenly reveal themselves to the eyes of the world? They've even organized this assessment so I don't believe that it was without reason!" Gu Ruoyun's eyes flickered as her lips curled into a smile, "Besides, do you think that the Secret Order would let the champions leave so easily? Hence, someone from the Secret Order will definitely visit us tomorrow."
Chu Luo blinked in astonishment, "You're saying that you already know that the Secret Order won't let you leave? Why were you so adamant on leaving while we were at the Secret Order's gate?"
Chu Luo now understands that Gu Ruoyun has not given up on the inheritance. At the same time, she had been unwilling to suffer a loss of dignity! That was why she had decided to leave then.
"Why do I want to stay?"
Gu Ruoyun looked at Chu Luo as she spoke calmly, "This time, to have the opportunity to receive the inheritance can be considered as a narrow escape from death! If I were to give up on the inheritance, it would be no different from giving it to the runner-up, Wen Ya. Do you think that I would so easily surrender a prize which I've won with such great difficulty? Especially since that person is my enemy!"
If this had been anyone else, perhaps Gu Ruoyun would have turned around and left without any hesitation and would not have thought to return at all.
However, since the opposition was Wen Ya, she would never bow and give way.
It was all because Wen Ya was from the Wen family and the Wen family was the main culprit behind the hurt which her family had suffered!
"I won't give up on the inheritance nor will I spare the Left Emissary so easily. Since he has chosen to lock us out, he must pay the price!" Gu Ruoyun paused before she continued, "Zi Yun, Chu Luo, just wait. Tomorrow, it would be the elders who would pay us a visit!"
Chu Luo's heart trembled even more. She had thought that Gu Ruoyun had given up on her hard-earned opportunity. She never thought that this woman had other plans.
Not only was she refusing to surrender the opportunity to Wen Ya, she was also fiercely attacking those who had opposed her in secret.
