"It's Supreme Gao! His Imperial Majesty, Supreme Gao of the Drifting Wind Country has actually appeared. Also, did you all hear that? He had addressed the man in red as the Grand Lord Hong Lian! Could be that he's the ultimate cultivator whose very name shakes the mainland?"

The ultimate cultivator they had just mentioned was clearly not only the ultimate cultivator of the East Peak Mainland but also the ultimate one amongst the Martial Supremes.

This also means that no one below the rank of a Martial Supreme could ever hope to defeat the Grand Lord Hong Lian.

"I wonder who this young lady really is, Supreme Jin seems to have a more than average connection to her and the Holy Doctor is also her master. Even the Grand Lord Hong Lian is her godfather. Of the great cultivators on this mainland, aside from the mysterious Martial Saint, is there anyone whom she is not acquainted with? Furthermore, the silver-haired man by her side seems to be on par with Grand Lord Hong Lian."

Godfather?

Supreme Gao was mildly shocked. Grand Lord Hong Lian is this little girl's godfather? It seems that the magnitude of her identity isn't something that anyone could guess with ease.

The man in red's expression, however, was a little downcast. What godfather? I'm clearly her biological father!

However, he was unable to announce this in public. Otherwise, if news of this reaches the ears of that old fart in the First City, wouldn't he be dragging his precious daughter down? After all, even though those old men were aware of Yun'er's arrival in this mainland, they still do not know her exact location yet.

"Yun'er, who is this fellow?" The man in red squinted his eyes and a dangerous light flashed in his pupils. Based on his powers of observation, he could tell that this man does not have an ordinary relationship with his daughter. However, this fellow has actually tried to snatch his painting away and had raised his hand against him!

Simply based on this one fact, it would not be easy for him if he wishes to marry his precious daughter.

"Ahem." Gu Ruoyun coughed awkwardly, "Godfather, can you wait outside for a moment? I have some matters to attend to, I'll talk to you once I'm done! Also, Xiao Ye, please help me evacuate the place! Yu'er and I would like to speak to the Xia family members alone."

Qianbei Ye nodded, he knows what Gu Ruoyun was going to do next.

She would be revealing her own true identity! However, no one else, aside from the doomed Xia family members, needs to know this. Otherwise, if the great news of her reincarnation was to become general knowledge, it would attract an astronomical amount of attention and sensation.

The rest of the crowd was not too bothered about Gu Ruoyun's decision. However, Grand Lord Hong Lian's heart shattered into a million pieces. He stared at Gu Ruoyun resentfully.

"Yun'er, I've journeyed very far to see you yet you refuse me at the door?"

This was too disheartening!

His daughter was all grown up now and sure enough, has her own secrets. There were some things that she could not let him know.

Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders, "Things are going to get bloody from here on so I'm going to ask you all to withdraw for a moment."

Regardless, Grand Lord Hong Lian has been fighting for so many years so he has witnessed all sorts of bloodbaths. However, once he realized that Gu Ruoyun was not really keeping any secrets from him, he heaved a sigh of relief and nodded, "I'll wait for you outside your living quarters."

Actually, Grand Lord Hong Lian does not know that Gu Ruoyun had asked everyone to leave because she was indeed harboring a secret which she could not let anyone else know of.

Which was her identity as Xia Ruoyun!

This secret, following the Xia family's annihilation, will rot within her stomach for the rest of her life!

"Yu'er, let's go." A light flashed in Gu Ruoyun's eyes and she chuckled softly, "All the enemies who had hurt you that year... I'll give you the chance to shed their blood today!"
