"Damned old man, search your heart. Did your damned boy actually listen to Bodyguard Gu's advice? I reckon that he probably thought she wanted a piece of his treasure."

Obviously, Ye Nuo's words described Yeh Ling's thoughts perfectly.

When Gu Ruoyun had tried to warn him, all he could think about was that she did not want him to get to the treasures first.

How could he possibly be so compliant? The treasures of the Tomb of the Supreme Ruler belongs to him!

No one was allowed to take them away!

Hei Bao furrowed his brows and stared at the red-faced Yeh Luo but did not say a word.

Mo Liyou was still smiling and looked as if he was disconnected from the world. It was as if even a much greater struggle would not be his problem at all.

Only Mei Xue stared at Gu Ruoyun fixedly and her eyes were filled with interest.

This girl was actually able to differentiate the pockets of Qi that contained explosives, it seems that her accomplishments in the medical field should be quite impressive! Even I would not have been able to make the differentiation in the nick of time!

Interesting, very interesting!

I wonder how the Murong family had managed to find a disciple like her.

"You f*cking brat, you're looking for death too!!!"

Yeh Luo was now so enraged that his body seemed to erupt with flames. He was just about to make his move when a refined voice sounded, stopping him in his tracks.

"Enough!"

The scholar closed his fan and narrowed his eyes slightly at Gu Ruoyun. A near-undetectable glint flashed across his gentle eyes, "Indeed, Yeh Ling was to blame for his own death. But my Lady, you have fiendish eyes. You will bring disaster."

Gu Ruoyun smiled serenely, "Are you a scholar or a charlatan? Reading the fortunes of others?"

"I'm merely giving you a reminder, my Lady." the scholar smiled. It was hard to imagine that such a cultured and gentle-looking scholar would actually be the leader of the Wolf's Fang Robbers, "As a young lady, it's best that you remember to stay kind! You really could have saved Yeh Ling yet you didn't do that at all!"

Suddenly, Gu Ruoyun smiled and stared at the scholar's cultured appearance as she raised her eyebrows, "Save him? Why should I save him? If I had been unable to defend myself for the sake of saving him, who was going to help me? Let's put aside my animosity with the Yeh family. Even if I had nothing against him, I would never save someone who is of no consequence to me! Furthermore, you, as the leader of the Wolf's Fang Robbers, whose hands are stained with the blood of many, what right do you have to remind me of kindness?"

Honestly, if I had attempted to save Yeh Ling, I'm certain that I would have been able to come out of it alive.

But what was the basis for all this?

On what basis should I risk my life for him?

It's just as I'd said, forget about the fact that we are both enemies, I would never risk exposing my trump card for the sake of an innocent passerby.

The Banished Lands are far more dangerous than the West Spirit Mainland and the East Peak Mainland.

Here, everyone has blood on his or her hands. Nangong Si, as the leader of the Wolf's Fang Robbers, was most notoriously known for this. Hence, forget about Gu Ruoyun, even the forces of Black Rock City could not understand how Nangong Si could spew such statements so shamelessly.

Kindness?

In a place like this, where only the strong are respected, kindness is a deadly poison!

"My Lady, I think I'd better give you a piece of advice - don't burn your bridges. There are some lines that shouldn't be crossed."

The scholar took one last look at Gu Ruoyun before leading his Wolf's Fang Robbers forward into the ruins.

Yeh Luo clenched his fists as he fixed his sinister gaze upon the girl's delicate and pretty face. He spoke through gritted teeth, "Damned girl, someday you will pay the painful price for everything you've done!"

He then turned around and followed after the Wolf's Fang Robbers.
