Chapter 56: The Rise of The Almighty Army (2)
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After all, there were certain things that she could only show at ease when they had become her followers through and through.
"Sure!" Xun Feng let out a scoff and said, "My life was rescued by Elder Yu, what is wrong if it is just one tryout? I hope you will not disappoint me then!"
Having heard his words, Gu Ruoyun merely let out a smile, "There are over a hundred of you right here, I will not take in all of you guys. Later, I will let all of you battle it out at Spiritual Beast Mountains. No spiritual energy is allowed during the battle, only hand-to-hand combat is permissible. During the course, you can choose to flee or escape. However, once you have escaped, I will no longer use you. Those who finally stay behind and survive will become the ultimate peerless powerful person in this world. The time duration is one month. Do you have any objections?"
Lightly lifting up her head, the delicate features of this young girl was filled with a soft and mild shine.
Dazed in a trance, all of the men no longer looked at the adolescent in front of them as a mere little girl of just fourteen or fifteen of age. It was as if she was a domineer over all the others, with her supremacy aura exuding relentlessly.
"Well, since it is just a mere one month, I am going for it."
Xun Feng swept his eyes over Gu Ruoyun. Frankly, he was willing to pledge his loyalty and allegiance to someone much senior compared to him, but then again, this was just a mere little girl who was barely twenty.
"Alright, such being the case, let's go then, Elder Yu."
Sweeping her eyes over all of the people that were behind her, she let out a faint smile and said, "I will come back to see the results in one month. I hope you guys will not disappoint me."
...
"What did you just say?"
In the Gu household, General Gu pounded the table hard and jumped to his feet, his face turned livid with rage. "Gu Ruoyun refused to come back home with you?"
"It is all this tramp's fault!" Second Master Gu glared fiercely at the Second Madam as he spoke, "If it was not for the things that she had said, my niece would not have acted so merciless towards us. I could see that she still harbors some feelings towards the Gu family and still has the inclination of coming back home. However, it was all because of this whore who hurled insults at my niece's parents right in front of her face! Which daughter could stand and pocket that kind of insult?"
Bam!
The table was pounded by General Gu so hard that it split into two halves. Gnashing his teeth in anger, he lashed out, "Who was the one who asked you to take in such a foolish woman as a wife? How could you even make that kind of mistake? If we were not able to hand Gu Ruoyun up, the Dongfang young master will never let the matter go just like that. I want you to annul your marriage with this foolish woman right now!"
"Yes, father!"
Listening to the exchange of words between the father and the son, the Second Madam fell and toppled to the ground and started to yell out loud in a frenzied manner all of a sudden.
"No! You cannot treat me this way! You cannot annul our marriage! Ling Xi will definitely come to hate all of you when he comes back!"
At this moment, she knew that Ling Xi was her only hope, the only leverage that she could use to secure her position in the Gu family...
Sure enough, General Gu became tongue-tied when he heard of this. After a long moment of silence, he finally went on speaking, "Alright, for the sake of Ling Xi, I will let you remain at Gu Family for the time being. However! You are no longer permitted to step outside of the Gu family's compound anymore. Not even half a step! If you do, you will be punished and disciplined! Do you understand?"
The Second Madam dropped down and slumped sluggishly, sweat was dripping down from her forehead. Right now, she looked entirely wretched in a sorry state.
The hatred in her heart had now reached a profound stage. What would not she have done to shred and rip Gu Ruoyun into thousands of pieces right now!
It was all because of her! It was all her fault that I am now being reduced to the outcast wife.
As expected, she and her wanton mother were exactly the same and not of any good at all! No, wait! She was even worse than her wanton mother! How dare she became so treacherous and traitorous, with not even the slightest sense of respect for the Gu family. Even her own mother would not dare to be so defiant and supercilious.
"Gu Ruoyun, I should have strangled you little malicious girl to death when I had the chance to so that you would have had no chance to cause any damage at all in the first place. But do not worry, just you wait and see! It will be your death sentence when my son comes back, you little whore!"
