He had thought that this task could be easily taken care of. After all, there were not many chances like this to leave behind a good legacy for an eternity, and she should have accepted this offer right off the bat. Why in the world would anyone not want to sacrifice for the sake of this land? Not only was this woman a good-for-nothing piece of garbage, she was also an idiot!
"I had initially thought that everyone in this world was just like the Weapon Refining Sect, not tremble in the face of death. However, I had not expected that there were so many selfish and cowardly people. Forget it then, since you are all this weak. I will not force you all! Hopefully, all of you will not regret this in the future!"
Hun Fei glanced at Gu Ruoyun’s delicate face from the side, that look of disdain that flashed across his face was as if she was the biggest embarrassment of this continent.
This time, even without waiting for Gu Ruoyun’s reply, General Luo’s stormed in an insulting voice, "This is truly an eye-opening experience for me today. The much-dignified Weapon Refining Sect are all for their own selfish agendas, and actually wants a young girl to sacrifice her life for you all! How dare you speak of it with such righteousness! Can you be any more outrageous and shameless?"
Even if the Weapon Refining Sect had skin thicker than the city walls, no one ever had the guts to say this straight into the face of the people of the Weapon Refining Sect. Hence, when he heard General Luo’s reply, Hun Fei’s face immediately turned ashen.
"Luo Hongtian, we will meet again!"
With that said, Hun Fei huffed and stormed off with a wave of his cuff.
"These people form the Weapon Refining Sect are going overboard with all these nonsense," Luo Hongtian observed Hun Fei’s silhouette and frowned, "Nonetheless, now that we have crossed the Weapon Refining Sect, there is bound to be trouble ahead. Luckily there are still the three main sanctions to stifle them, and he will not dare to cause trouble to my household in the open."
Without realizing it, there was cold sweat all over Luo Hongtian’s back. It was evident that Hun Fei had given him a considerable amount of pressure.
"Little girl Gu, I am afraid that you will face some problems in the future," Luo Hongtian turned and looked at Gu Ruoyun with a solemn expression, and said, "Do not appear at places with fewer people in the future, or else the Weapon Refining Sect will definitely take this opportunity to assassinate you. If you were at a more crowded space, they would not dare to make a move."
Gu Ruoyun lifted her eyebrows slightly and smiled as she said, "Do not worry, I am aware of this. Oh yes, the reason I came here is to have General Luo to help me out with something."
"Oh? What is it?" Luo Hongtian looked at Gu Ruoyun in surprise. He had thought that this young maiden was here for Yin Er, but judging from the current situation, it seemed as though she was looking for him…
Gu Ruoyun’s eyes shone, and with a suppressed smile she requested, "I need weapons! Hundreds of them. I need these weapons to be forged within a short period of time, and only General Luo you can pull this off!"
It was publicly known that General Luo owned a smiting workshop that specialized in forging weapons to cater to the imperial army. This was also the main reason for Gu Ruoyun’s visit today…
Luo Hongtian’s eyes darkened slightly, "What do you need it for?"
Even if he really liked this young girl, why would she need a large amount of weapons forged? As the general who takes pride in protecting his country, he would absolutely not allow for anyone to harm the Azure Dragon Country.
"Just relax, I am not interested in the Azure Dragon Country," Gu Ruoyun obviously knew what Luo Hongtian was thinking deep in his heart. She chuckled softly, "Besides, I am the fairer sex, what use can the throne be of to me? More importantly, for me, the power of the throne does not captivate me at all. I need the kind of power that is above the imperial power, the kind of power that is comparable to that of the three main sanctions!"
In that very moment, a domineering air radiated strongly from the young lady’s body. Luo Hongtian’s eyes blurred. It was as though he was seeing the same commanding legendary man from over a decade ago…
At that moment, Luo Hongtian was still unaware that in a few years later, a monstrous team would appear among all of the mainlands. Though there would not be many members in the team, each of them would possess such intrepid amount of energy that could make the whole mainland tremble in fear, to the point that even the three main rulings would have to look up to them...
Furthermore, that power would be known by the commoners as the Devil Sect! A sect that would exist as though it was frequented by demons and ghosts and was colored by the crimson of fresh blood.
As for the main ruler of the Devil Sect, who would have ever thought that it would be the young little loser girl, Gu Ruoyun, who everyone had previously looked down on?
Of course, this would not take place until many years later...
"Hahaha!" Luo Hongtian laughed out loudly, "Little girl, that is quite some determination you have right there. I will believe in the things that you just said. As long as you don't do anything that would harm the Emperor, I will definitely forge weaponry for you."
Having listened to this, Gu Ruoyun let out a laugh as well, her bright eyes gleaming sparklingly.
"Thank you very much then, General Luo. I promise you today that as long as the Emperor of Azure Dragon Country does not do anything that harms neither me nor people that I care about, not only will I not hurt him, I will also help to protect and guard him on behalf of you, General Luo. However, if the Emperor does something bad that is beyond irreparable, then I would be sorry to say that it would be time for the Azure Dragon Country to change its dynasty. I'm sure that you understand my temper well. I will not swallow insults and humiliations silently. Therefore, I wish that from now on, the Emperor of the Azure Dragon Country will never again do something that will go against me."
If it was another person who spoke these words, General Luo would most likely not take this seriously and would even let out a crack of laughter.
Then again, who was she?
The daughter of Gu Tian and the sister of Gu ShengXiao! Especially after having seen her conduct recently, Luo Hongtian understood clearly that overturning the whole empire would just be a matter of time for her…
"Alright, I will give you my word as well. If the Emperor does something that harms you, I promise I will not safeguard him and I'll even support your actions instead!"
"Thanks a lot!"
Gu Ruoyun bumped fists with General Luo. She understood the meaning of this pact real well. It also showed and proved the position where General Luo stood in this matter.
Turning her head to look Luo Yin who was standing right next to her, she said, "Luo Yin, I'm staying at Hundred Herb Hall now. If you need anything, just find me there. I have already told Shopkeeper Zhao that you can come in anytime to see me."
Then, not saying another extra word, Gu Ruoyun just smiled and left.
Looking at the silhouette of Gu Ruoyin leaving, Luo Yin was in a slight daze. Was this the young little girl who used to hide behind his back every time there was danger? Since when had she became so strong and powerful?
"'A golden carp does not solely belong in a pool. When there is a storm, it evolves to become a dragon too.' This young girl is destined to become somebody extraordinary. I have a feeling that her achievements will not be any fewer than Gu Tian. Giving up this granddaughter of his is the biggest mistake of his life. Yin'er, just you watch, it will not take long for her to finally reach her full potential. When that time comes, it will definitely astonish the whole world. Let us just wait and see!"
Even the old man from the Ling family could see that there was something unusual about Gu Ruoyun. Otherwise, he would not be supporting her secretly. It was only her own family of flesh and blood who had always been treating her as garbage. Such a joke, wasn't it?
Luo Hongtian laughed out loud suddenly. He really couldn't wait to see the look on that geezer's face now…
He was sure it would be really amusing!
...
As Gu Ruoyun got back to the Hundred Herb Hall, she saw that the main entrance was completely blocked by a huge crowd of people. In that crowd, there were a few figures that were familiar to her. She could not help but knit her brows together.
However, compared to the last time, there was one extra fat figure there as well...
