“Of course not,” she shook her head and smiled softly, “I trust Zixie, but I trust my own feelings even more. No matter what you were like in the past, the one I’m friends with is the current you.”
The man smiled.
With this smile, the surroundings lost their colour. His smile was so beautiful it was hard to breathe.
“I trust you too. In this world, you’re the only one I trust. Even if you leave me, I’ll still believe that you had your own reasons. Xiao Yun, if you ever leave me someday, I’ll wait for you here. I’ll wait for you to come back for me...”
Gu Ruoyun’s heart shook, and felt even more sorry for this man. No matter what he had done in the past, she would never abandon him...
Just as they walked out of the room, they saw Elder Yu rushing over hurriedly. When he spotted the two of them stepping out of the door, his heart lifted in delight and he walked up to them.
“Eldest Miss, those people are back.”
Gu Ruoyun raised a brow and smiled: “Now that I think about it, General Luo should be done with the weapons by now. Elder Yu, go to General Luo and bring the weapons back to me. It’s time to proceed with my plan.”
“Yes, Eldest Miss.”
......
A month ago, more a hundred people had been sent to the Spiritual Beast Mountains by Gu Ruoyun. However, only more than fifty people had returned. Most of them had escaped after meeting dangers they could not overcome, and a few had perished under the claws of the fearsome spiritual beasts.
However, what the remaining people did not know was that their persistence would cause them to become a force that would make the entire mainland tremble in fear in time to come!
In the large courtyard, Gu Ruoyun’s gaze scanned the remaining crowd, and eventually landed on Xunfeng’s haughty face.
“You made it.”
“Not bad,” Xunfeng raised his face and said in a cold, arrogant tone, “You promised us that you would show us your ability if we came back alive. I hope you won’t let us waste our one month of hard work.”
Gu Ruoyun smiled: “Speaking honestly, I don’t have much power. I’m only a Qi level 6 up till now. I certainly can’t match up to any of you in battle.”
Xunfeng’s expression turned ugly, this girl had been playing around with them? If it were really so, he wouldn’t forgive her!
“But,” a light flashed in Gu Ruoyun’s eyes as she smiled, “Do you really think that this month of effort has been wasted? Don’t tell me that a month of training didn’t help you improve at all? If that’s the case, then I don’t need to train any of you anymore.”
Hearing so, everyone’s expressions changed a little.
Gu Ruoyun was right, they had improved by leaps and bounds in this month of training. Their bodies and minds had been strengthened a lot. These results would take them half a year to reach if they trained normally...
“I’ve said it before, I may not have a lot of strength right now. However, in the near future, none of you will be my match even if all of you joined forces! Even with my most dedicated nurturing.”
The current Gu Ruoyun did not have exceptional power, but she wasn’t too bad when compared to her peers. At least she was not the good-for-nothing from before. She could only achieve this result considering how little time she had had to cultivate.
“You definitely won’t regret it if you follow me!” Gu Ruoyun raised her chin slightly. Under the sunlight, that pretty and delicate face carried a calm yet confident smile, “I’ll train you into the strongest army! Even though there’ll only be 50 people in this army, they’ll be invincible! I believe that you’ve persevered thus far for the sake of reaching a goal like that.”
