“Elder Bai.”
Wen Ya was afraid that Wen Yue’s action has offended Elder Bai and quickly spoke up, “This matter has nothing to do with the Wen family! Yue’er, aren’t you going to help the Left Emissary to his feet?”
Wen Ya quickly nudged Wen Yue with her elbow as she spoke and her face was full of anxiety.
Wen Yue did not reply. Furthermore, she did not even look at the Left Emissary at all. It was as if the Left Emissary does not exist to her.
“Hmph!”
Elder Bai scoffed when he saw this and replied with an expressionless face, “If it had not been for the Wen family, these people would never have come here. Therefore, you too must take responsibility for my disciple’s wounds!”
Wen Ya’s expression changed again and she glared at Wen Yue.
If it hadn’t been for this girl’s last-minute mutiny, things wouldn’t have turned out like this…
“You, come here.”
Gu Ruoyun ignored Elder Bai as she turned her gaze towards Wen Yue and calmly called out.
Wen Yue hesitated for a moment before she walked towards Gu Ruoyun.
“Wen Yue!”
Wen Ya wanted to grab Wen Yue but when her gaze met Gu Ruoyun’s eyes, she could not help but shiver. Her outstretched hand hung stiffly in the air, afraid of bridging the gap to touch Wen Yue. In the end, Wen Ya could only cry out in a panic, “You better think this through! If you stay with the Secret Order’s Left Emissary, no one will dare to abuse you again on this mainland and the Wen family will rise as a result. Compared to this, what can Gi Shengxiao even offer you?”
Wen Yue’s footsteps were sluggish but she did not stop as she walked towards Gu Ruoyun automatically.
“Wen Yue!” Wen Ya panicked once again.
If Wen Yue could get into the Left Emissary’s good graces, the Wen family would not be implicated any further. However, Wen Ya did not think that Wen Yue would be so willful and ignore the Wen family’s fate.
At this moment, Wen Ya had forgotten how the Wen family had treated Wen Yue all these years! After being tortured by the Wen family for so many years, why would Wen Yue feel any sentiment for the Wen family?
“Gu Shengxiao’s father is only the Grand Lord of a small Territory while his mother has no background or status. I can’t believe you are foolish enough to abandon the Left Emissary and choose him!”
Wen Ya clenched her fist, still insistent on dishing out her final piece of advice.
However, Wen Yue was now face-to-face with Gu Ruoyun…
“Does the Secret Order want to come at me all at once or open a path for me to leave?” Gu Ruoyun swept her indifferent gaze across the crowd as she spoke in a cool voice.
If it was not for the fact that Mengmeng was the Secret Order’s Sacred Beast, she would not possibly be able to leave as easily as this.
Elder Bai’s eyes darkened. “You’ve hurt my disciple, do you plan on leaving just like that?”
“He had dug his own grave.”
Gu Ruoyun’s voice was just as chilly as ever but it amplified the rage in Elder Bai’s heart.
“Hmph! Since you’ve arrived in the Secret Order, why leave so soon? Do you really think that the Secret Order is a place where you can come and go as you please? Our Order Master is nearly done with her closed door cultivation. Once she comes out, we’ll have a conclusion!”
“My apologies!”
Gu Ruoyun raised her eyebrows and shot him an indifferent gaze. “I don’t have that much time to waste here! If you don’t open up a path, I will use my power to make all of you to give way!”
Many Secret Order disciples have blocked her way out behind her. She would not be able to leave this place unless she uses brute force to blast that blockade away.
“Attack! Catch every single one of them!”
Elder Bai’s face sank as he ordered coldly.
So what if this woman has great power? There are so many of us in the Secret Order, why should we need to fear her?
