Bai Zhongtian has been acquainted with Great Master Wu Yin for so many years and he knows Great Master Wu Yin's character very well! Since her Master had not said anything, that proves that the old man could be trusted.

"This spiritual weapon is not a gift to you. Instead, I'm hoping that you can protect my Master and Ye Nuo with it. You are the most powerful one here which is why I'm giving you this spiritual weapon." Gu Ruoyun instructed solemnly as she turned to face Great Master Wu Yin.

Wu Yin took a deep breath and put the spiritual weapon away. He then smiled and said, "Gu girl, don't worry. As long as I'm alive, I won't let these two die. You can rest assured and complete your task. There's no need to worry about us here."

"Alright, since that's the case, it's time for me to leave. Master, I'll come to find you when I'm done."

After saying her piece, Gu Ruoyun turned around and walked out of the tiled-roof house. She did not turn back to look at Ye Nuo at all.

Ye Nuo bit his lips and watched Gu Ruoyun as she left. His eyes were filled with reluctance as he stared at her with yearning 1 .

...

A gentle wind rustled through the leaves of the trees at the foot of the mountain.

Gu Ruoyun paused in her footsteps before she turned to face the forest which did not have a soul in sight. She then exclaimed calmly, "Sorry for making you wait so long, you can come out now."

Whoosh!

As soon as she had spoken, countless figures jumped down from the branches of the trees and surrounded Gu Ruoyun in a tight circle.

A smile appeared on Gu Ruoyun's face as she stared at the group who had descended before her. "I wonder what business do all of you have... Waiting for me here?"

"Hmph!"

The green-robed man scoffed coldly as his eyes filled with murderous intent landed on Gu Ruoyun's face. "Damned girl," he replied coldly. "You dare to interfere in the Lin family's matters! We can't do anything to Great Master Wu Yin so we'll let off some steam on you!"

He simply could not believe that Great Master Wu Yin would have lost to this little girl. After all, from his point of view, a proud person like Great Master Wu Yin would never agree to become someone's servant! Hence, this little girl must have allied herself with Great Master Wu Yin to stop the Lin family's nagging.

Does Great Master Wu Yin really think that the Lin family members would be that stupid to believe in a few lies? This was simply too funny!

Now, he was going to make this little girl understand that nothing good comes from opposing the Lin family!

"That depends on whether you have the ability."

Gu Ruoyun turned her gaze towards the green-robed man as a sharp, cold light flashed in her eyes.

"Haha, you are only an early-stage Martial Saint yet you dare to spout such conceited nonsense in front of so many of us!" The green-robed man burst into laughter before an eerily cold and murderous aura exploded from his being.

His aura was like a sharp knife which could cut through the earth and split bamboo into splinters, creating a quick and forceful atmosphere.

Gu Ruoyun turned towards the sharp knife-like aura as a cold light flashed in her clear and cool eyes. She slowly raised her hand and in a moment, the surrounding wind gathered in front of her and clashed against the knife-like aura which had been charging towards her. That powerful energy exploded, razing everything within a hundred kilometers around them.

"Mm?" The green-robed man was shocked. A disdainful smile then flashed across his eyes. "I didn't expect this. Your powers aren't too bad, you were actually able to use your early-stage Martial Saint powers to smash my attack to pieces! Unfortunately, I had not used the full extent of my powers! If I had attacked with all my power, I'm afraid that you would have fallen."
