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...
