Subsequently, another elderly voice had chimed in.
This voice was filled with shock and praise as well as curiosity.
"That's right, this little girl was the genius that I've told you about. However, an old man like you who has been in closed-door cultivation from day to night won't be too well versed with what's going on in the world outside. You have no idea how great this girl's reputation on the mainland is now."
As he spoke, Old Man Jiang raised his chin proudly as if the genius girl in front of him was his very own granddaughter.
The old man in blue robes who was the subject of Old Man Jiang's taunting only laughed and replied with a mild sneer, "Old Man Jiang, this little girl isn't even a member of the Jiang family, do you even have the right to show her off to me? If she was a disciple of the Jiang family, perhaps I might even envy you a little. Unfortunately, she's not yours."
If Gu Ruoyun had left the mountain a moment later last night, she would have realized that the blue-robed old man was the same old man who had appeared after her departure.
"Haha, she might not be my granddaughter now but she might become a member of the Jiang family in the future." Old Man Jiang burst into laughter. The meaning behind his words was unclear, making the blue-robed old man feel very uncomfortable.
"Really? When the time comes, let us have a little duel to see who this little girl belongs to."
"Are you sure that you want to fight me? There are quite a lot of men in the Jiang family. If one of us fails, another can go up and try instead. Besides, I have an outstanding maternal grandson as well. The Gu family only has a woman amongst those in your third generation, who do you plan to use in our fight?"
"Hehe," the blue-robed elder laughed disdainfully. "What's the problem in that? I'm not one of those old fogies anyway. A love between women... That's not too bad either 1 ."
The two old men bickered as though they were the only ones present. As for Gu Ruoyun who was at the center of their discussion, she has been completely ignored and could only stare at the two bickering old men with black lines all over her face.
Nevertheless, from the conversation between the two of them, she managed to overhear the blue-robed old man's surname — Gu. If her guess was correct, he should be Gu Lan's relative!
"Miss Gu."
Just as Gu Ruoyun was deep in thought, a bashful voice chimed in next to her.
Jiang Mozhu's white, jade-like face was flushed red while his eyes carried a sense of shyness. "My grandfather and Grandfather Gu have known each other for many years. They've always behaved this way and are always wildly competitive over everything. Please don't misunderstand, they're really just playing around."
Gu Ruoyun smiled, she did not really take their banter seriously.
She then turned towards Jiang Mozhu and gently curled her lips. "What are all of you doing here?"
"This..."
Jiang Mozhu lifted his clear eyes. His dark pupils were like dark pools of water, clear and bottomless.
"Grandfather and I as well as Grandfather Gu happened to come here on business. Coincidentally, we then found out about the birth of a Divine Weapon last night. Miss Gu, are you here for the Divine Weapon as well?"
"A Divine Weapon?"
Gu Ruoyun shook.
A Divine Weapon had been revealed in the Celestial Mountain Forest? How did I not know this?
"That's right." Jiang Mozhu's eyes sparkled at the mention of the Divine Weapon. "I had seen it last night as well. Countless fiery lights had illuminated the entire sky and nine different colored dragons seemed to be hidden at the center of the flaming lights. Its aura was like that of a king's, absolutely stunning. This was why so many have gathered here all in hopes to find the Divine Weapon."
Gu Ruoyun was dumbfounded.
Flaming lights which had set a foil against the entire sky, and the nine different colored dragons...
Are they talking about the Divine Weapon, the Ninth Emperor?
However, she was the owner of the Ninth Emperor now. It seems that these people have wasted a trip.
However, Gu Ruoyun's heart gradually sank when she thought of the sensation that the Ninth Emperor has attracted.
In the future, I'd better not use the Ninth Emperor unless I have no other choice. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I won't have a moment's peace from then on! It would even attract the attention of the cultivators from First City as well.
