Chapter 32: The Shameless Weapon Refining Sect (1)
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Luo Yin’s fists froze just as she was about to land another punch on Ling Xi. She turned her head in disbelief. Her mouth widened at the sight of the young girl. She exclaimed distractedly, "Gu Ruoyun, you’re not dead?"
"Who told you that I was dead?" Gu Ruoyun rolled her eyes.
So Luo Yin gestured with full honesty towards Ling Xi, who was spitting blood, "He said that he witnessed your death in the claws of spiritual beasts. I was just about to collect his debt. I didn’t think that you’d still be alive. But it’s just like what they say, ‘the good do not live long, but the troublemakers live for a thousand years’. Gu Ruoyun, you’re a troublemaker."
That’s right, this woman was definitely a troublemaker. If she appeared one second later, she might have inadvertently caused Ling Xi’s death.
"He definitely wants me dead. But I still have a pretty long life. I didn’t die."
Gu Ruoyun raised her lips. Her gaze landed on Ling Xi’s pale face. No one could tell what that look meant.
"Alright, seeing as almost everyone has arrived, I declare that your trials have officially ended." Hun Fei mentally breathed a sigh of relief. To him, Gu Ruoyun held great importance in ensuring the safety of his Lady. There can be no mistakes. After all, besides her, there’s probably no one else in the world who possessed such strong mental capacity.
Hun Fei let out a dry cough at the thought of this and spoke with a serious look on his face, "Azure Dragon Country has always produced talented individuals. The late Gu Tian was once the greatest genius in the mainland. And now, Gu Shengxiao and Leng Yanfeng have turned out to have formidable talent. Just like the rest of you, there are are a few outstanding individuals. But sadly, there is one individual who will never achieve this standard, no matter how hard she tries."
All eyes turned towards Gu Ruoyun. To them, the only person in this world who would never accomplish anything no matter how hard she tried. She was the infamous good-for-nothing from the Gu family — Gu Ruoyun!
General Gu now had an ugly expression on his face. He glared fiercely at Gu Ruoyun, as if she was not his granddaughter but an irreconcilable enemy.
"Gu Ruoyun," Hun Fei looked at Gu Ruoyun and spoke coldly, "Your brother is a genius among geniuses, yet you have the physical body of a good-for-nothing. I have sensed that your spiritual ocean is unusually vast. It would be far more difficult for you to break through the ranks when compared to a normal person. With a spiritual ocean like this in your body, you will never accomplish anything in this lifetime."
Staring at the disdainful gaze that the crowd directed at her, Gu Ruoyun raised the corners of her lips into a calm smile.
"This mainland is certainly more primitive than the East Peak Mainland," she observed, "Otherwise, how could a strong cultivator from the Weapon Refining Sect be so incapable of realizing the potential I have? After all, if I had this level of potential flowing in my veins, I probably wouldn’t have met with such a grisly end."
"However…" Hun Fei paused, a cunning glint flashed across his eyes, "Our Weapon Refining Sect has never been the kind that would look down on good-for-nothings like you. Now, I’ll give you an opportunity to swear your undying loyalty to our Weapon Refining Sect, what do you say?"
He looked as if he was doing a charitable act, staring smugly at Gu Ruoyun.
As if Gu Ruoyun could not refuse his offer, but instead, should feel thankful for being given the opportunity to sacrifice herself for the sake of the Weapon Refining Sect.
"What?" The crowd thought in unison, "Allowing this good-for-nothing to swear her loyalty to the Weapon Refining Sect? Has water gone into Lord Hun Fei’s brain? Is that why he’s made such a decision?"
Upon hearing his proposition, the crowd exploded into heated discussions. None of them could believe their ears — the great Weapon Refining Sect is accepting a good-for-nothing?
But what truly surprised the crowd was what happened next.
The smile on Gu Ruoyun’s face grew more pronounced as she grinned from ear to ear.
"Apologies, I have no interest in your Weapon Refining Sect."
Bang!
As if a loud clap of thunder had struck, every single person in the crowd was dumbstruck.
"She rejected him…" they thought, "This good-for-nothing actually dared to reject Lord Hun Fei’s invitation?"
Upon noticing the increasingly ugly look on Hun Fei’s face, the crowd could not help but break into a sweat in their hearts for Gu Ruoyun’s sake.
