Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Ruoyun raised her brows and there was a smile in her eyes. She never thought that it would really turn out to be a case of 'enemies on a narrow road' and that she would end up bumping into the Wen family members here.
Furthermore, the Wen family would become her opponents after this!
"Master, what's going on?" Chu Luo stared curiously at Gu Ruoyun.
She could not understand why Gu Ruoyun's smile has suddenly turned cold.
"It's nothing."
Gu Ruoyun turned away and gently sipped her tea. A light flashed in her eyes as she laughed icily. "I'm afraid that this competition won't be so easy! Chu Luo, you must be prepared."
Chu Luo stared at Gu Ruoyun in astonishment. She's saying that this competition isn't going to be so easy? What does she mean by that?
However, Gu Ruoyun was not inclined to answer Chu Luo's questions and entered into deep thought...
...
"Open the door."
A woman dressed in light yellow robes walked towards the prison cell and ordered the guards to open the door.
"Yes, Eldest Lady."
The guard pulled out a key and unlocked an iron chain. The door to the prison cell then opened with a loud creak...
An ethereal and beautiful woman was sitting on a stone bench in the prison cell. Her gaze was passive as she stared blankly at the cell's door. She did not even react when someone else walked in. Her noble little face was extremely pale and filled with misery.
"Wen Yue, have you thought it over?"
Wen Ya walked into the cell and her gaze landed upon her half-sister. A cold sneer formed on her graceful features as she asked, "Will you marry Zuo Shi or not? He's a member of the Secret Order after all. If you marry him, the Wen family will establish a connection with the Secret Order."
Wen Yue was shaken. She turned around, unwilling to look at the sneering woman.
"Zuo Shi is very interested in you. Besides, Grandfather intends to use you to get onboard this ship!" Wen Ya approached Wen Yue, carefully observing the ethereal-looking face before her. "If you refuse, you will stay in this cell for the rest of your life. Besides, I've already promised Zuo Shi that if he helps the Wen family to gain the first place in the competition, I'll send you to the Secret Order! By then, you will certainly become his woman!"
Wen Yue bit her lip. Perhaps out of all the regrets she's ever had in this lifetime, none surpassed her acquaintance with Zuo Shi.
It has exposed the true nature of these greedy people who actually want to gift her to Zuo Shi from the Secret Order...
"Wen Yue, are you still thinking about that kid, Gu Shengxiao?" Wen Ya laughed icily. Her voice was filled with disdain. "What's so good about that kid? Nothing about him is any better than the prestige of Zuo Shi from the Secret Order! You've received Zuo Shi's favor, who is soon about to become a disciple of the Secret Order, the number one force in the mainland! By then, even the Governor would need to give us leeway! As for Gu Shengxiao..."
Wen Ya laughed scornfully, "Because of the special circumstances of his physique, Grandfather wants to capture him and bring him back to the Wen family. He had even manipulated the Lin family to carry out that deed! However, what's so great about his special characteristics? He's still nothing compared to the prestige of the Secret Order! But instead, what had you done? After Grandfather had managed to capture Gu Shengxiao, you had secretly allowed him to escape! If it hadn't been for you, the Wen family would have refined Gu Shengxiao into a puppet long ago!"
Wen Yue still refused to speak as if she did not hear Wen Ya's voice at all. Her eyes continued to stare emptily at the prison door, no one could tell what she was thinking.
"Yue'er, did you think that Gu Shengxiao would actually be grateful to you for setting him free? That man's body is special. Grandfather had discovered his existence through the Wen family's Puppet Book! Unfortunately, Grandfather could not do this personally and had no choice but to leave the Lin family to deal with this matter. Who would have thought that those good-for-nothings of the Lin family would turn out to be completely useless? In the end, I could no longer tolerate it and personally captured him and brought him back home!"
