BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1371: Defiance (3)
Gu Ruoyun gently nodded and did not say anything else.
Elder Tianren did not disturb her anymore as he chuckled and headed out from the courtyard, soon disappearing from view.
"Master, what do you think the Secret Order is trying to do? They had asked you to enter the Secret Order to accept the inheritance yet they are now asking you to go through some test. I can’t shake off the feeling that they do not harbor goodwill." Zi Yun scoffed.
It was obvious that he was still pretty sore about what had happened with Mu Chu and he believes that the members of the Secret Order were not good people.
Chu Luo rolled her eyes at him and exclaimed with mockery and ridicule, "You better concern yourself with your own matters. Master can take care of herself so there’s no need for you to say anything more. Besides, I don’t think the members of the Secret Order could keep anything from our Master."
Zi Yun scoffed and did not say anything more.
The two of them had been in conflict since half a year ago. To this day, nothing has changed very much. However, if one were to observe carefully, one would notice a peculiar look in Chu Luo’s eyes whenever she looked at Zi Yun.
"Let’s go."
Gu Ruoyun turned away and calmly mused, "Let’s go back and cultivate. There are three rooms here. You can make your own arrangements for the other two rooms."
After saying her piece, Gu Ruoyun walked into the room in front of her on her own...
After she entered the room, she immediately began to cultivate. At her rank, she would have forgotten all about time upon entering cultivation. If it had not been for the sounds of a quarrel from outside her door, she would not have stepped out of her cultivation state so soon.
"Wen Ya, what are you doing here? You are not welcome here!!"
Zi Yun’s voice was filled with rage and he could be heard outside the door.
When Gu Ruoyun heard the name ’Wen Ya’, a cold light flashed in her eyes. She then slowly rose to her feet and opened the door.
Creak!
The room’s door opened and the sunlight illuminated Gu Ruoyun’s delicate features.
Wen Ya’s heart was filled with jealousy.
In contrast to Gu Ruoyun’s private courtyard, she had been forced to cram into a large courtyard with the other disciples of the Secret Order and the environment was not so clean either! If it had not been for Gu Ruoyun, the title of champion of the assessment would belong to her. This courtyard would also have belonged to her!
She took a deep breath and looked at Gu Ruoyun who had just emerged from her room. A friendly smile hung on her beautiful and graceful face as she said, "Gu Ruoyun, I’ve something I need to talk to you about, may I come in and discuss it with you?"
Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun glanced at her and calmly replied, "What? You haven’t had enough of a taste the last time? I have a hundred thousand types of pills to use against you. I wonder which would you like to choose?"
Wen Ya’s expression changed. She then clenched her fists in a tight grip to suppress her anger but her expression remained just as graceful and beautiful as ever.
"Gu Ruoyun, in the Secret Order, we are both strangers in a strange land. We need to stick together, that’s the only way for us to stand firm on the ground." Wen Ya then smiled and said, "I know that I’ve done wrong in the past, all of that had been for the sake of obtaining the title of champion in the assessment. Actually, at the end of the day, we do not have a deep hatred between us. Why should we fight senselessly?"
Gu Ruoyun smiled icily, "No deep hatred? Shall I tell you everything the Wen family has ever done to me? Who were the ones who had ordered the Lin family to capture my big brother and caused my parents to separate? Who also refused to let him go after all these years and tried to refine him into a puppet?"
