Miss, why did you come down?

Steward Zhao's face changed as he quickly stood in front of his young miss, afraid that some cold arrow would accidentally hurt Gu Ruoqing.

Uncle Zhao, you don't need to make such a big fuss over nothing. It's just a group of bandits. Even the Savage Beast did not take my life, and has brought us great opportunities. Can a mere bandit hurt me? Come with me to the front and see what Uncle Wu and Uncle Li have to say. A hint of determination emerged on Gu Ruoqing's forehead.

Haha, Miss Gu, you're right. With me and me here, a mere bandit is just an appetizer.

We've had a great harvest this time, so we should celebrate our return to Barren City. If these bandits had retreated, then it would have been alright. But if they did not, then I would have just killed them seven to seven times over. While the blood was cold, I would then return to Qingyang Barren City to borrow hot blood for my dishes.

As Gu Ruoqing's voice fell, a clear laugh rang out.

A robust middle-aged man dressed in armor leapt from the front of the caravan 100 meters away to stand in front of Gu Ruoqing. This middle-aged man had a sturdy build and a large beard. His physique was even thicker than that of a ferocious bear in the forest.

Thank you very much, Uncle Wu. I've relied on Uncle Wu and Uncle Li to return to Barren City many times. If it were Qing Qing, she would have prepared some good wine and would not have disappointed the two of you.

Gu Ruoqing smiled and nodded.

You still want to go back to the city to drink? Eldest Miss, I don't think you have any hope.

If you obediently surrender, this old man will spare your life for the sake of your kin. Marrying my son to be an obedient wife is also a good way out. If you insist on resisting, don't blame me for not thinking about our kinship.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

Gu Ruoqing's expression turned cold. She raised her head and looked at the sky above the cliff, and actually saw a very familiar figure in the crowd filled with bandits. That figure was supposed to be in the Gu family estate in Barren City, but he just happened to appear in the sky.

Gu Chengmu, you are so bold, you actually dare to attack the young miss without regard for your status?

Steward Zhao stood up and shouted angrily.

Zhao Fan was a wise man that understood the situation. It's just a woman, how dare she poop and pee on my head? This old man had already lived his life long enough, so the Gu family should have been in this old man's pockets. But it wasn't too late.

It looks like you guys have gained a lot this time, thanks for your hard work. From today onwards, it will be my, Gu Chengmu's, turn to be in charge of the Gu family.

The voice came again, and Gu Chengmu, the Great Clan Elder of the Gu Clan, slowly walked out.

Grand Elder, you really want to force me?

Gu Ruoqing's face turned cold.

Force you? Gu Ruoqing, you are the one leading this old one in the army. If you can make it this time, you can truly make a comeback. How can I, Gu Chengmu, have a seat in such a large Gu family? Blame it on the fact that you gave birth to the wrong child and blocked this old man's way.

Gu Chengmu laughed sinisterly. Even from far away, Gu Ruoqing could still feel the sinister look on Gu Chengmu's face.

Gu Chengmu, are you sure you can take me down? I don't know how you found out our route back to the city, but I have Uncle Wu and Uncle Li on my side. Are you sure you can stop me? Gu Ruoqing's brows grew colder. No one knew the Gu family's background better than her.

The two Four Star Fighter s had already told the Gu Family to go all out, to not hesitate to gamble everything they had.

So what if Gu Chengmu was doing all the calculations? This world was destined to be a world of the Fighter, the strong possessed the qualifications to decide all fates. In Barren City, the Fighter was supreme, and the two Four Star Fighter were the last thing Gu Ruoqing could rely on.

Unexpectedly, when Gu Ruoqing said this, she actually laughed.

Eldest Miss, you are still as naive as ever. Do you really think this old one isn't prepared? If I wasn't prepared, how could I have attacked you? How can you know your return route so well? Look, who is this?

When Gu Chengmu's words fell, a middle-aged Fighter with a goatee beside him walked over with a smile.

Gu Ruoqing's face immediately turned white.

The Fighter that stood beside Gu Chengmu was one of the caravan members, the one that Uncle Li had become her, Li Hanyang.

You with the surname Li, you dare ignore the glory of Fighter? I still call you brother even after losing my martial arts training.

Wu Shuangjie was immediately enraged.

Wu Shuangjie, you can't blame me for this. Glory also had a price tag. It was Elder Gu's fault for not being able to pay Miss Gu's bill. I am naturally a wise man who knows his place. How can I trust that Elder Gu will give you the same price as me? Li Hanyang laughed out loud.

You are courting death!

Wu Shuangjie was immediately enraged.

He stomped on the ground, causing the ground to crack and his body to shoot forward like a cannonball.

With one step, he actually went up the cliff.

But unexpectedly, a shadow flashed next to Gu Chengmu, and before Wu Shuang Jie's fist could even get near to Gu Chengmu, it was already flying back at an even faster speed.

Bang!

Smoke and dust flew in all directions.

A five star Fighter!

Wu Shuangjie spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with shock.

When he said this, not only did the people in the caravan lose their balance, Gu Ruoqing swayed her body, almost falling to the ground. On top of the mountain peak, a Fighter covered in a black robe was gently waving both of her hands. It was obvious that she had knocked back Wu Shuang Jie with that strike, and the one vomiting blood was the black-robed Fighter.

Ten stars Fighter.

Every star meant that the Fighter's fighting strength would increase by several folds.

If it was said that Gu Ruoqing could still maintain her composure before, the appearance of this five star black robe immediately caused the calm in her heart to disappear without a trace.

Haha, Gu Ruoqing, looks like this time you're destined to not be able to escape. How about it? Consider this old man's suggestion? If it wasn't for the fact that my son has been drooling over you for a long time, this old one wouldn't have been so easy to talk to. What's wrong with being an old and useless daughter-in-law? There was no need to worry about the Gu's Merchant Guild, so why not?

Gu Chengmu laughed loudly.

Gu Chengmu, you're dreaming!

Gu Ruoqing gritted her teeth.

Gu Ruoqing, you are still so sharp-tongued, since you do not know how to appreciate favors, don't blame this old one for being ruthless. I'll capture you, strip you and throw you on my son's bed, I don't care if you want to or not. Mr. Hei, please capture her. I will naturally not go back on what I promised you that day.

Gu Chengmu's voice instantly turned cold.

The black robe on the side of his body shook, and immediately transformed into a strange black mist that fell from the sky, straight at Gu Ruoqing. Wu Shuangjie's face darkened as he swallowed the blood in his mouth. Just as he was about to make his move, a strong wind blew over, and Li Hanyang made his move.

Miss, quickly run. This old servant will not let anyone hurt you even if I have to risk my life.

Steward Zhao's face was extremely pale, he anxiously shouted and raised his hand to pull his Young Miss. But Gu Ruoqing's footsteps did not move the slightest bit. At the moment, Gu Ruoqing was lamenting in her heart, her delicate body on the verge of collapse, as though she had lost all of her strength.

Flee?

But where could he escape to?

One 5-star black robe, plus the traitorous Li Hanyang, made up two Fighter.

If one Li Hanyang could stop Wu Shuang Jie, and the other 5 star Fighter, then what could Gu Ruoqing do even if she fled to the ends of the earth?

it was still not impossible to escape from the palms of Gu Chengmu.

Gu Ruoqing sighed in her heart. Seeing the black robe that was pouncing towards her, she closed her eyes, as if there was no hope in front of her.

Why are you running?

Right at this time, a voice sounded out, following that, Gu Ruoqing saw that within the merchant group, who was facing a great enemy, Li Qingniu, who was just saved by the merchant group a few days ago, walked out. The seemingly bashful young man, Li Qingniu, blocked in front of her and asked with a serious face.
