Outside the compound, within a noisy crowd, an angry middle-aged man emerged and looked at the woman who was slowly making her way out. His eyes were on fire but he did not dare to step into the compound.

It was not only him who did not dare to do so, even the people from the Dark Yin Palace could not break the formation. He dared not try to chance it.

At that moment, Wei Yiyi stared coldly at the man who looked a lot like an angry clown. Her red lips curled up into a mocking smile as if she completely looked down upon this man.

Then, Wei Yiyi turned around and saw Gu Ruoyun walking towards them calmly. She raised her eyebrows and slowly walked over, "Master, let me deal with this. I’ve been angry with this bunch of blinded people for a long time now!"

Luckily for her, she had good eyes and had followed Gu Ruoyun from way earlier on. If not, she would probably also be on the hit list…

"Gu Ruoyun, you b*tch, you’ve captured your own grandfather! That’s an act of rebellion. Even if your grandfather may have made mistakes, with him being the elder, you have to tolerate him. Instead, look at what you’ve done. Let’s not forget that without your grandfather, there would not be you. Little b*tch, I’ve never seen such an ungrateful little b*tch like you, are you not afraid of being struck down by heaven?"

Outside the courtyard, Second Master Gu’s heckling voice sounded again.

Gu Ruoyun stopped in her tracks as she stared coldly at Second Master Gu and smirked. With her cold eyes, her face seemed to be enraptured by mist.

"My grandfather?" She laughed coldly, "Does he deserve such a title? That year, he had ended up beating me to death. Ever since then, he was no longer my grandfather and he does not deserve that title! Especially now that I’ve left the Gu family, I’m no longer related to any of you."

She walked forward a few steps as she was saying this and her aura began to surround Second Master Gu. She said in an eerily cold voice, "If he was truly my grandfather, even though I had not committed anything wrong, would he have pushed all the blame onto my head and even beat me to death? If he was truly my grandfather and he knew that the Weapon Refining Sect wanted my life, would he have used his name as an elder to deliver me to the Weapon Refining Sect? If he was truly my grandfather, how could he think of every way possible to kill me?!"

Second Master Gu froze because he knew that the one who was in the wrong was his father. However, until now, he still wanted to guilt-trip her into releasing General Gu.

"Yun’er, your grandfather is old and foolish, that was why he had made those mistakes. Do you still want to hold a grudge against him? No matter what it was that he had done wrong, his blood still runs in your veins. Could you not release him?"

In that moment, everyone was stunned by Second Master Gu’s shamelessness. No one had thought that even until now, the Gu family would try to guilt-trip her.

If Gu Ruoyun was a lonely and weak girl, they could probably get their way and she might even lose her life! But, she was powerful now and had managed to slowly climb her way up to where she is today...

Gu Ruoyun laughed with a hint of arrogance, "I, Gu Ruoyun, cherish my life. Whoever wants to die, I will let them die, no matter who it is! Plus, no matter what I’ve done in the past, I’m better than you who had killed his own brother. What right do you have to educate me?

Her voice was like thunder in the sunny skies, Second Master Gu was clearly stunned.

How did this girl know that Gu Tian had been murdered by him? No! That’s impossible! No one else knew other than him and his wife!
