The person who had spoken was a woman dressed in black robes. She has exquisitely beautiful features and her curved, willowy brow was raised upwards as she stared disdainfully at the man in the purple jacket.
"Chu Luo, don't forget, we now hold the same position. We are both loyal to the Master and your status is no more valuable than mine!" Zi Yun scoffed as he replied contemptuously.
Ever since Chu Luo has been subdued by Gu Ruoyun, both she and Zi Yun have been squabbling every day, unable to cooperate with each other.
Chu Luo would never have acted so courteously to Zi Yun most of the time. However, because they were now in front of Gu Ruoyun, she could only glare at him no matter how angry she was feeling.
"If we aren't right in front of our Master, I would turn you into a corpse for your audacity in talking to me that way!"
"It's because of our Master's presence that I would dare to treat you this way!" Zi Yun's mouth twitched and he retorted irritably.
Was there not a saying that goes, 'a dog threatens based on its master's power'?
He admits to being Gu Ruoyun's dog so what was wrong with borrowing a bit of her awe-inspiring presence to scold Chu Luo? As long as Gu Ruoyun was here, Chu Luo could not lay a finger on him no matter how angry she was!
"You're just a dog who threatens based on his master's power!"
This phrase instantly popped up in Chu Luo's mind. She then glared angrily at Zi Yun before turning away towards Gu Ruoyun and said, "Master, have you ever heard of this Secret Order? I have some knowledge in this area. It is said that the Secret Order is very powerful and even the Governor of First City would have to give way to the Secret Order. Besides, the mountain where the Secret Order is based in is very suitable for a cultivator's cultivation process. If you could cultivate there, half the battle would be won."
"More importantly..." Chu Luo paused, "The Secret Order holds an inheritance. Each talented disciple of the Secret Order would receive this inheritance upon reaching a certain stage. Hence, this was how the members of the Secret Order have managed to grow so quickly. With the additional nurturing from countless treasures, the Secret Order holds an unshakeable position. However, this Secret Order has always remained hidden the world. I don't know what has happened this time which would cause the Secret Order to return to the eyes of the world and begin to recruit geniuses."
Gu Ruoyun fell silent for a moment, no one could tell what was hidden behind those eyes.
After a long pause, she calmly replied, "I'm rather interested in this competition."
"Master?" Chu Luo was a little shocked. Isn't Master here to find her man? Why is she interested in a competition like this all of a sudden?
Gu Ruoyun's eyes gleamed with determination as she glanced out the window and slowly replied, "My powers are still not strong enough, I'm afraid that I'm still only a burden to Xiao Ye. Perhaps, entering the Secret Order is an opportunity for me. Only when I increase my powers can I fight with him shoulder-to-shoulder and face all the dangers together!"
Chu Luo felt shocked, she has always assumed that Gu Ruoyun was nothing more than Qianbei Ye's woman and had to depend on his abilities to obtain Zi Yun and the others. Chu Luo never thought that Gu Ruoyun would have such ambition and refuse to only be protected by him. Instead, she wants to walk side-by-side with him!
Chu Luo had always looked down on Gu Ruoyun from the very beginning.
After all, her powers were so weak that they were almost insignificant!
Chu Luo simply could not understand why a powerful cultivator would want a woman like this? That he would even surrender his own power to her?
Now she knows that though this woman may not be very powerful, she has an aura that no one else could surpass! This type of aura could not even be surpassed by a sovereign who has descended from the sky!
