As the crowd's eyes filled with suspicion, Gu Ruoyun slowly replied, "My powers aren't all that great, I only had the good fortune to break through to the late-stage of the exceptional state a while ago."
She was telling the truth!
In the Dark Earth Realm, where generations of powerful cultivators have lived, her powers could not be considered all that great. However, when those words entered the group's ears, it had the opposite effect.
"Gasp!"
They reacted collectively and their eyes stared in shock at the delicate and well-defined face. It was as if they never thought that Gu Ruoyun, who had been considered to be a good-for-nothing, was already at the late-stage of the exceptional state!
