“No one?” Gu Ruoyun’s smile grew cold, a chill crept into her clear eyes, “Then from now on, remember this! Should any one of you ever call me a good-for-nothing, then I wouldn’t mind giving you a taste of my power! I, Gu Ruoyun, am the daughter of Gu Tian and sister to Gu Shengxiao. They are both geniuses of unparalleled caliber and I will not be a disgrace to them!”
While Gu Ruoyun did not care for her reputation, there were people she cared about.
In her previous life, she would have been better off without her father and was unable to protect her beloved brother. But now that she was given a second chance at life, she would live her life in the old Gu Ruoyun’s place and avenge her father!
She would not allow anyone to insult them!
Not far off, beneath the soft breeze, a man dressed in yellow stood in the midst of grassy plains. Even though his clothes were eye-catching, no one noticed him.
Leng Yanfeng coldly observed Gu Ruoyun. An almost undecipherable look flashed across his face and disappeared as quickly as it came.
“Gu Ruoyun, is this how you plan on getting my attention? Unfortunately, you will never get my attention, no matter how hard you try. You will never be able to hold my gaze.”
He had intended to check up on the situation in the Heavenly Spirit Formation but he did not expect to witness such a scene. Leng Yanfeng simply refused to believe that Gu Ruoyun did not notice his presence, especially since he was standing directly opposite her. That must be the reason why she said those words.
Because he once said that only the strong are fit to stand by his side!
Sadly, this time, Leng Yanfeng was thinking too highly of himself. Gu Ruoyun might have sensed his presence but she really could not be bothered to look at him.
“You idiots, you can’t even take care of a good-for-nothing!”
Just then, a smug yet arrogant voice pierced the silence. Like a heavy rock was thrown into the water, creating a ripple.
The next thing they saw was Ling Xi leading a group of people into the crowd. He looked at Gu Ruoyun and sneered, “I sensed the fluctuations coming from this area and suspected that a treasure must have appeared. So I decided to come here and investigate and I ended up overhearing your conversation. There are so many of you, yet you are all afraid of this good-for-nothing? So what if I insult Gu Shengxiao? It’s his own disgrace for having such a good-for-nothing sister! And that short-lived father of yours. If he was alive today, he would probably choose suicide over having a good-for-nothing daughter like you! Gu Ruoyun, what’s the use of having you alive? You’ll only be a disgrace to your father and brother. Your father has to live with the shame of having a daughter like you, even in death!”
“Refreshing!” He thought to himself, “This is absolutely refreshing! Every time I bully this good-for-nothing, I always feel so refreshed!”
However, little master Ling was so blinded by his arrogance that he did not notice Gu Ruoyun narrowing her eyes.
“Little master, be careful. This woman just defeated Lin Xi, the son of the vice minister for the Department of Revenue.”
The people around little master Ling were worried that he would regret his actions and warned him against it.
“What?”
Ling Xi was astonished. He burst into laughter, “Lin Xi is at least a level five in the Qi Collection ranks and a good-for-nothing actually defeated him? Forget about my own disbelief, no one in Azure Dragon Country could possibly believe this. Try to lie a little better next time.”
Just as he finished speaking, Ling Xi suddenly noticed Lin Xi on the ground. The smile on his face froze in place.
He arrived too late and was not able to catch whatever happened in time. Otherwise, he would not have jumped into such a humiliating situation without any preparation.
But what did he manage to find? The level five Lin Xi, lying motionlessly on the ground as if he was dead.
