The middle-aged man quickly steadied himself and fiercely replied, "Lies! How dare you, just who do you think the Master of the Hundred Herb Hall is? Did you think that she could be easily impersonated by a person like you? This is a crime that should be punished by a thousand deaths! Guards, take her away."
According to rumors, Gu Ruoyun was only a high-level Martial General. This woman was clearly a Martial King and hence, she could not possibly be Gu Ruoyun.
Seeing as he had easily masqueraded as her foster father, it's plausible that someone else would be able to impersonate her as well.
Gu Ruoyun calmly swept her gaze across the advancing men who were surrounding her, everyone immediately felt as if their brains had exploded and their minds went blank.
Then, the young woman's clear and calm voice was heard throughout the hill.
"Yunyao, since you've awakened, I'll leave these people to you now."
Hey guys, not sure if any of you have noticed, but in previous chapters (when he was first introduced), Tianqiong was introduced in the raws as "天穹". Which, in pinyin, translates to "Tianqiong". However, in recent chapters, the author has been calling him "苍穹", which reads as "Cangqiong". In order to avoid confusion, I've chosen to standardise it to "Tianqiong". :)
