The Wild Empress of the Evil Emperor
30. Chapter 30: The Weaponry Purifying Sect Knows Shame (1)
Luo Yin's fist froze just as she was about to land another punch on Ling Xi. He turned his head in disbelief. His mouth widened when he saw the young girl. He exclaimed confusedly, "Gu Ruoyun, you're not dead yet?"
"Who told you I was dead?" Gu Ruoyun rolled her eyes.
So Luo Yin gestured with full honesty towards Ling Xi, who spat out blood, "She said that she witnessed your death in the claws of a spiritual beast. I was just about to collect his debt. I don't think you're alive. But it's like what they say, 'good doesn't live long, but troublemakers live for a thousand years'. Gu Ruoyun, you troublemaker."
That's right, this woman is really a troublemaker. If he had appeared a second later, he might have inadvertently caused Ling Xi's death.
"He must want me dead. But I still have a long life. I'm not dead."
Gu Ruoyun lifted her lips. His gaze landed on Ling Xi's pale face. No one knew what that look meant.
"Well, considering that almost everyone has arrived, I declare that your trial has officially ended." Hun Fei mentally sighed in relief. To him, Gu Ruoyun was very important in ensuring the safety of the Madam. There can be no mistakes. After all, other than him, there might not be anyone else in this world who possessed such a strong mental ability.
Hun Fei let out a dry cough at the thought of this and spoke with a serious expression on his face, "The Azure Dragon Clan has always produced talented individuals. The late Gu Tian had once been the greatest genius on the mainland. And now, Gu Shengxiao and Leng Yanfeng turned out to have incredible talent. Just like all of you, there are some amazing individuals. But unfortunately, there was one individual who would never reach this standard, no matter how hard he tried."
All eyes were on Gu Ruoyun. To them, the only person in this world who would never achieve anything no matter how hard he tried. He was a useless person from the Gu family - Gu Ruoyun!
General Gu now had an ugly expression on his face. She glared at Gu Ruoyun sharply, as if she was not her grandson but an irreconcilable enemy.
"Gu Ruoyun," Hun Fei looked at Gu Ruoyun and spoke coldly, "Your brother is a genius among geniuses, yet you have a useless physical body. I have sensed that your spiritual sea is vast. It will be much more difficult for you to break through the ranks when compared to a normal person. With a spiritual sea like this in your body, you will never achieve anything in this life."
Staring at the disdainful gazes the crowd directed at him, Gu Ruoyun raised the corner of her lips into a calm smile.
"Yet ..." Hun Fei stopped, a sneaky glint flashed in his eyes, "Our Weapon Refining Sect has never been the kind that would underestimate a useless person like you. Now, I'll give you the opportunity to swear your undying allegiance to our Weapon Refining Sect, what do you think?"
He looked like he was performing a charitable act, looking at Gu Ruoyun with satisfaction.
It was as if Gu Ruoyun could not refuse his offer, but instead, had to feel grateful for being given the opportunity to sacrifice herself for the sake of the Weapon Refining Sect.
"What?" The crowd thought in unison, "Let this useless fellow swear allegiance to the Weapon Refining Sect? Did water enter Mr Hun Fei's brain? Is that why he made such a decision?"
Upon hearing his proposition, the crowd exploded into heated discussions. None of them could believe their ears - the great Weapon Refining Sect received a useless one.
But what really surprised the crowd was what happened next.
The smile on Gu Ruoyun's face grew increasingly visible as she grinned widely. "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in your Weapon Refining Sect."
Bang out!
As if a violent thunderclap had struck, everyone in the crowd was dumbfounded.
"He rejected it ..." They thought, "This useless person actually dared to refuse Master Hun Fei's invitation?"
After noticing Hun Fei's increasingly ugly facial expressions, the crowd could not help the sweat in their hearts for Gu Ruoyun's sake.
