Bab 1189: Ruins, Inheritance (6)

Elder Mei has shed all pretenses of cordiality and no longer cared about camouflaging her intentions.

Since these people are going to die anyway, why should I keep this act up?

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a black wave of energy shot towards her and pushed Elder Mei several steps back. A grim voice then chimed in and her heart froze over.

"Shut your mouth unless you plan to become dragon food!"

Ptui!

Elder Mei spat out a mouthful of blood as she stared in shock at the black-robed man behind Gu Ruoyun. Her face was completely drained of color.

She could not understand it, why was this man standing up for Gu Ruoyun?

Of course, as soon as this thought appeared in Elder Mei's mind, she could not help but blurt out the question. "My Lord, why are you helping them? If they go down, we'll have another thread of hope! After all, this bridge can't take so many of us."
