Gu Ruoyun gently stroked the teacup in her hand as the corners of her lips became increasingly indifferent. She has already left the situation before her in the Vermillion Bird's hands.
The Great Elder's eyes darkened. "Only cultivators at our rank are allowed to attend this banquet yet you had let a child in? Furthermore, she has no manners! Not even a hint of proper upbringing at all!"
It was no surprise that the Great Elder does not place any importance on the Vermillion Bird. After all, Lan Shao had never given the Great Elder an honest explanation of his previous loss in front of the Vermillion Bird. Otherwise, the Great Elder would never have said such a thing.
Mu Youyou, who was right next to the Great Elder, took a look at the Vermillion Bird and a light flashed across her eyes. However, she remained silent and her thoughts were shrouded in mystery.
"Didn't Lan Shao from the Lan family tell you?" chuckled the Vermillion Bird. This time, her smile no longer reached her eyes and her blood-red pupils were now drenched in a bloody red light. "Anyone who crosses the people on my side will die a tragic death! If you want to be made to kneel on the streets and confess your mistakes just like Lan Shao, I can grant you your wish!"
The Great Elder's expression changed twice. He had known that Lan Shao had been mystified in some way and had unconsciously said those things on the street. Could it be that this little girl had something to do with that?
How can this be?
The little girl before him looks to be around five to six years of age. Anyone at that age should not have started to cultivate yet so how could she possibly have that kind of power?
However, the Great Elder seems to have forgotten that on the mainland, powerful spiritual beasts can change their appearance at will. The same applies to the Vermillion Bird. Even though she has been around for more than ten thousand years, she could appear before others in the form of a little lolita and fool everyone in the world.
"Hehe," sneered the Great Elder as he returned to his senses. His cold and distant gaze then landed upon the two old men who were seated on their chairs, sampling the food in a carefree manner. The Great Elder commented, "I just can't seem to understand the Medicine Manor's etiquette in treating guests. Why are Old Man Gu and Old Man Jiang allowed to sit yet I can only stand? My position is not inferior compared to the both of them in Main City! Isn't this a little unfair?"
Upon hearing the Great Elder's words, everyone broke into a cold sweat for his sake.
The Lan family may be very powerful but Gu Ruoyun was a pill master. Many forces were not even given the opportunity to gain her favor. What on earth has caused the Great Elder to become so bold to yell at her so publicly?
"Unfair?" said Gu Ruoyun as she smiled indifferently. Her clear and cold gaze turned towards the Great Elder as she said, "In my territory, I should be the one who determines what is fair or unfair. Old Man Jiang and Old Man Gu are my old friends. Furthermore, both of them are rather advanced in age and their legs are not what they used to be. It's expected that I would let them take their seats first. As for you..."
Gu Ruoyun surveyed the Great Elder as the smile on her face grew even more pronounced.
"I can see that you are hot-tempered. Also, your vital energy and circulation aren't too bad so you aren't at the stage where you absolutely need a seat!"
The Great Elder clenched his fists tightly. His ashen face looked absolutely furious.
Old Man Jiang and Old Man Gu were advanced in age and their legs aren't what they used to be? When it comes to cultivators, especially those who have reached their ranks, which old man would be reduced to such a lack of stamina?
Besides, the Great Elder was much older than these two old men.
Even if she was looking for a reason, she should pick a more reliable one. Not even a three-year-old child would believe her excuse.
"Gu Ruoyun, don't think that you can bully others just because you are a pill master. Others may fear you but the Lan family does not!" The Great Elder finally lost control of the flaming anger in his heart and yelled, "Let me tell you this, because of your insult towards the Lan family today, I won't take this lying down!"
