“I had thought that all of you on this earth were not afraid of dying, like my Weapon Refining Sect. I didn’t think that there would be such a selfish coward that is afraid of death to this extent. That’s fine! Since you’re all so cowardly, then I won’t force it! I only hope that you don’t regret your decision in the future!”
Hun Fei glanced at Gu Ruoyun’s pretty face from the corner of his eyes as if she was the greatest disgrace of the entire mainland.
This time, without waiting for Gu Ruoyun to speak up, General Luo’s mocking voice suddenly sounded, “It has been eye-opening for me today. The honourable Weapon Refining Sect would actually force a lady to give up her life for their own selfish desires! And you even spoke so righteously! Are you really going to be this shameless?”
Although the Weapon Refining Sect were so thick skinned that they could match the city walls, no one would actually say so in front of anyone from the Weapon Refining Sect. Upon hearing General Luo’s words, Hun Fei’s face turned livid.
“Luo Hongtian, I’m not done with you!”
Hun Fei harrumphed, tossing his sleeves as he left.
“The Weapon Refining Sect is starting to go too far,” Luo Hongtian watched Hun Fei’s disappearing back and slightly furrowed his brows, “However, I’m afraid there’ll be some trouble in the future after offending the Weapon Refining Sect. At least he won’t dare to openly confront my household with the Three Great Authorities suppressing him.”
Unknowingly, Luo Hongtian’s back was covered in cold sweat, it was obvious how much pressure Hun Fei had given him just now.
“Girl, I’m afraid you’ll run into trouble next time,” Luo Hongtian turned to look at Gu Ruoyun with a serious expression. “Avoid appearing in places where there aren’t many people around from now on, or the Weapon Refining Sect will surely attempt to kill you. If you’re in a place with too many witnesses, then they won’t dare to make a move.”
Gu Ruoyun furrowed her brows slightly, then smiled, “Don’t worry, I know what to do. Right, I came here today to ask General Luo for a favour.”
“Oh? What is it?” Luo Hongtian looked at Gu Ruoyun with astonishment. He had thought that this girl was here for Yin’er. Now it seemed like she was here for him…
Gu Ruoyun’s eyes sparkled, and she smiled faintly, “I need weapons! I need a few hundreds of them to be made within a short period of time. Only General Luo is able to pull off something like that!”
It was common knowledge that General Luo had a smithery under his banner, specialised in making weapons for the imperial troops. This was also the reason Gu Ruoyun had come to find him today…
Luo Hongtian’s eyes darkened slightly: “What do you need them for?”
Although he liked this girl, what was she going to do with so many weapons? As a general sworn to protect the country, he couldn’t let anyone harbour ill intentions towards Azure Dragon Country.
“Don’t worry, I’m not interested in Azure Dragon Country,” Gu Ruoyun had clearly seen through the direction Luo Hongtian’s thoughts were taking. She smiled calmly, “Moreover, I’m a member of the fairer sex, what would I do with the throne? Most importantly, I have no interest in becoming the emperor. What I’m aiming for is something above imperial rights, to become a power that can go toe to toe against the Three Great Authorities!”
At this moment, an endlessly domineering aura exuded from the girl’s body, causing Luo Hongtian’s eyes to go blind for a moment, as if he was looking at that peerless man from decades ago…
