Wen Ya's heart sank but she did not show it on her face.

"I don't know what you're trying to imply, I was only afraid that you would hurt Murong Qian since you have such a deep grudge towards her. I don't think you will spare her at all."

Gu Ruoyun smiled indifferently. "Wen Ya, I really admire your mind. Murong Qian is no match for you at all and can only be manipulated by you! However, there's something I must find out right now. May I trouble you to explain it to me?"

"What is it?"

"During that year, were you the ones who used the Lin family to deal with my parents?"

Gu Ruoyun's eyes were turned towards Wen Ya as she questioned indifferently.

Wen Ya's expression turned particularly ugly. "What does the Lin family's dealings with your parents have anything to do with me? I don't wish to fight with you anymore, I am even willing to bow and give the title of champion away!"

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid that you won't be able to leave."

Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders and smiled at the gradually ashen look on Wen Ya's face.

"Gu Ruoyun, I confess, my powers are inferior to yours but the rules of this arena state that if one party admits defeat, the other must not attack! Besides, the members of the Secret Order are here, they will never allow you to bully me."

"That's right, the Secret Order will certainly help you." Gu Ruoyun smiled. "After all, the Secret Order's Left Emissary intends to marry your younger sister so why should he not help you? If my guess is correct, I had ended up in the fifth level of the training pagoda because you had coerced the members of the Secret Order to do so."

Wen Ya's expression drained of color. This woman is actually aware of the relationship between the Wen family and the Left Emissary?

How did she find out about this?

She bit her lip and exclaimed, "Gu Ruoyun, what on earth do you want? Since you know about the relationship between the Left Emissary and the Wen family, you should know that I'm untouchable!"

"Apologies." Gu Ruoyun smiled at Wen Ya. "I forgot to mention one thing. I had taken so much time during my earlier battle because I was setting up a formation in this arena. They would not be aware of the situation in this arena. Even if I were to kill you, they won't be able to see it! What more save your life."

"What did you say?"

Wen Ya was thoroughly shocked. "Impossible, even if you've restrained me with a formation, they will notice my disappearance. The Left Emissary will save me."

"Of course, if I was only imprisoning you, they would certainly realize your disappearance. However, the formation that I've built isn't just one, it's two." Gu Ruoyun stared into Wen Ya's eyes and smiled coldly, "One formation imprisons you, the other projects an illusion of us fighting against each other. What they are watching now is a fight between us. They don't know that I've trapped you in here."

Wen Ya stumbled backward and her eyes filled with despair, "Gu Ruoyun, my abilities are a far cry from yours."

This woman had conjured up two formations during a battle. How could anyone not admire that?

Hence, Wen Ya's statement had come from her heart. The woman before her was too powerful. If she was allowed to continue her growth, it would inevitably cause no end of trouble!

"Now, can you answer my question? That year, was the Wen family responsible for tearing my parents apart and trying to capture my older brother?" Gu Ruoyun walked towards Wen Ya as she asked coldly.

Wen Ya scoffed and turned around, refusing to answer Gu Ruoyun's question.
