"Lan Shao, who are you talking to?"
Suddenly, a cold and neglectful voice sounded behind Lan Shao.
Upon hearing that voice, the look on Lan Shao's face changed immediately and he even showed a never-before-seen sense of respect.
"Miss Bai Yin, I've just bumped into two acquaintances so we were chatting for a bit."
Bai Yin?
Those two words sent Gu Ruoyun into a daze. Her clear and cold eyes turned unconsciously towards the source of that voice and fell upon a woman whose white robes were fluttering in the wind.
At the same time, Bai Yin also clearly noticed Gu Ruoyun who was standing further ahead. She paused abruptly and her eyes turned into two icy daggers as she glared fixedly at Gu Ruoyun.
"What are you doing here?"
"Miss Bai Yin, do you know Miss Nianye as well?" Lan Shao was thoroughly flabbergasted.
He had intended to look into Gu Nianye's identity but he never thought that Bai Yin was acquainted with her as well!
"Nianye?"
Bai Yin was mildly shocked before she suddenly came to a realization. This Miss Nianye that Lan Shao was speaking of was actually Gu Ruoyun! This is just great! She thought with glee . If Lan Shao were to find out that this woman was the same Gu Ruoyun who had risen to fame in the Medicine Sect's general meeting, I'm afraid that he would not listen to my orders in dealing with this woman.
After all, it had been so difficult to find this woman again. Naturally, I won't let her off so easily!
"That's right, I am acquainted with her." Bai Yin smiled icily and a cold light flashed in her eyes. "This woman shares similar features with the Grand Lord's wife so she had schemed to seduce the Grand Lord. It was a good thing that the Grand Lord is fiercely loyal to the Madam and had seen right through this woman's tricks. Hence, he had chased her out from the Red Lotus Territory! She is now like a fly who is being chased around by the members of Red Lotus Territory. What an extremely nauseating person."
As Gu Ruoyun listened to Bai Yin's words, she merely shrugged and stared at her with a forced smile.
She had met Bai Yin when she first arrived on East Peal Mainland. At the time, Bai Yin had been tagging along by her father's side. However, Bai Yin had offended her and her father had then sent Bai Yin back to the Red Lotus Territory to be punished.
However, I can't seem to figure out what she's doing here!
Besides... She doesn't seem to be aware that I'm actually Grand Lord Hong Lian's daughter!
Bai Yin, naturally, would know nothing of the sort!
Previously, she had been imprisoned by Grand Lord Hong Lian. Later, she had taken advantage of Grand Lord Hong Lian's absence to escape. The objective of her escape was to find Gu Ruoyun and seek revenge!
I would never have lost the Grand Lord's trust if it had not been for this woman!
If it weren't for her, I would never have had to endure such great hurt and torture! Only the heavens know how horrifying Grand Lord's tactics were when it comes to punishing criminals. Each time I remember the experience, I would be completely filled with fear.
However, it was also because of Bai Yin's escape that she was unaware of Gu Ruoyun's true identity.
By the time she finally understands the situation, it would be late for regrets.
"Gu girl." Old Man Jiang glanced at Bai Yin and turned towards Gu Ruoyun. "Is there some sort of grudge between you and the emissary Bai Yin from Red Lotus Territory?"
He simply could not believe that Gu Ruoyun was the person which Bai Yin had just described.
Even though the Red Lotus Territory has great power, Gu Ruoyun was a Pill Master. Even the Eldest Lady of Wind Valley had wanted to invite her to Wind Valley. Simply based on this fact, one could tell that there was no need for her to seduce Grand Lord Hong Lian.
"Mm." Gu Ruoyun rubbed her nose. "We have a huge grudge indeed. However, I'm not aware of when she had been made an emissary of Red Lotus Territory?"
Bai Yin had once offended me. Knowing my father's protective nature, he would not possibly put her in any important position again.
This means that there can only one explanation she was pretending to be an emissary!
