182 Zuo Shangchen's Fury 2

What else could she be if she was not a genius amongst all other geniuses?

Besides, Gu Ruoyun’s talent would only show itself further down the line. It was widely known that bottlenecks will happen more frequently the greater your capabilities grow. Thus, when others will struggle to break through their bottlenecks, she would be able to do it effortlessly.

Basically, that means that as long as Gu Ruoyun can fill her spiritual ocean, she would be able to achieve a breakthrough despite the bottlenecks.

"Qingyi, I want you to go and investigate this matter immediately. Find out who it was that had sent out the order to assassinate Xiao Yun’er!" A murderous intent flashed within Zuo Shangchen’s eyes, "No matter who it is, I want that person torn apart by five horses and let his soul perish utterly!"

Qingyi’s heart felt cold. She looked at Zuo Shangchen’s mesmerizing face with some fear before she immediately kneeled on the ground on one knee and said, "Understood!"

This time, the Master was really enraged!

Who was the person who did not know better? Did they not know that some missions should never be accepted? They deserve the Master’s rage and they only have themselves to blame! Even the Master does not dare to harm Gu Ruoyun, those people were simply too reckless!

If the Master does not provide Lady Gu with an explanation, the Dark Yin Palace would never have the capacity to withstand her brother’s anger…

"Since your performance is satisfactory, I won’t take it up with you this time. However, if I find out that you were deliberately protecting your people in the Dark Yin Palace, then... You’d better prepare to live on the edge for the rest of your life!"

After that, Gu Ruoyun looked at Zuo Shangchen one last time before she left without a backward glance.

Zuo Shangchen studied her slim back as she walked away as his lips curved up and formed a bitter smile, "Xiao Yun’er’s temperament is very similar to Gu Shengxiao, her older brother. She would never be taken advantage of! Both of them are indeed siblings. Qingyi, go investigate the matter now. I don’t wish for Xiao Yun’er to have any misunderstanding towards me."

This young girl was probably the only person in the four nations who would dare to threaten him.

….

In a bedroom at the Imperial Place, Concubine Ling looked at the Elder who was sitting behind a screen. She asked worriedly, "Elder Liu, I heard that there is a formation set within the compound of Gu Ruoyun’s residence. Will the people from the Dark Yin Palace be alright?"

Elder Liu, clad in a white robe, smiled arrogantly, "We’ve known of that information long ago. Therefore, there was one person within the dispatched team who is skilled in the art of formations. Based on Gu Ruoyun’s abilities, even if she could find someone who could help her set up the formation, it’s probably going to be an ordinary one."

"I’m relieved to hear that."

Concubine Ling heaved a sigh of relief. Then, her regal and graceful face flashed a cruel look as her lips curled to form a chilly smile.

Gu Ruoyun, she thought sinisterly, I wonder how you had reacted after receiving the assassination declaration from the Dark Yin Palace. I guess that you were probably so scared that you would have fainted on the spot! Such is your fate as an enemy of mine! I had sworn three years ago that I will cease to be human if I failed to take revenge!

"Bad news, Concubine, something’s gone wrong!"

Suddenly, a harried voice sounded from outside the door.

Soon after, a person clad in a guard’s uniform walked over quickly. That person immediately bowed and said in a hurry, "I had been observing the situation from outside the entrance to Lady Gu’s residence just now. Those people had entered the compound but there was no sign of them for a very long time. Just now, the people within the compound had just thrown out several bodies and are burning them."

"What did you say?"

Concubine Ling’s face twisted unpleasantly at the news. Before she could say anything else, the Elder beside her slammed his palm on the table with a loud bang. His face was stoic as he said, "Gu Ruoyun, what a good job you did there! She has actually thwarted a mission from the Dark Yin Palace. It looks like I will need to personally execute the mission this time!"
