Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yeh Luo noticed the completely unscathed Murong family with one glance and trembled in anger. Those ignorant of the situation would think that he holds a grudge against them for murdering his father and kidnapping his wife!
"How is it that you all look completely untouched?"
Based on his experience, more often than not, the safest place would be the most dangerous. In contrast, the most dangerous places were usually the safest.
So, Yeh Luo simply could not comprehend why the Murong family had emerged looking so pristine, almost as if they had just come back from a holiday.
"It looks that you were all pretty fast."
Master Murong sneered and his elderly face was filled with spite.
Actually, the reason why they had met so soon was not because the other party was fast. Along the way, Gu Ruoyun and the Murong family had lingered and taken some extra time to collect a few valuable herbs. This was why they had ended up bumping into the other party after leaving the Door of Life.
Yeh Luo's expression was ashen. He clenched his fist so hard that it shook. Just as he was about to speak, a courteous voice cut him off.
"The Door of Life... Hehe, I reckon none of us thought that the owner of this tomb would be so honest and use the names of the Door of Life and the Door to Death to describe the pathways so accurately."
The scholar waved his fan gently and raised his gaze towards Gu Ruoyun who was standing in the middle of the crowd. His face retained his smile as if he was thinking about something that was not worth mentioning.
I wonder if the owner of this tomb was honest or cunning?
The average person would have chosen the opposite direction! Instead, who knew that the Door to Death would actually turn out to be the literal Door to Death! Even a powerful man like me nearly couldn't escape with my life.
"Furthermore, unless I'm mistaken, this young lady must be the actual person in charge of the Murong family! Or more accurately, I wonder what strings you've managed to pull to place the entire Murong family at your beck and call."
Boom!
The scholar's words were like a bolt of lightning and the crowd did not even have time to gasp for breath. They were all rooted to the spot.
The Murong family was listening to this girl's orders? How can this be? Where had this woman come from and why should the Murong family have to listen to her?
Gu Ruoyun narrowed her eyes as she thought, It's no wonder this man had ended up as leader of the Wolf's Fang Robbers! It seems that he isn't completely brainless. He was able to figure out my position in the Murong family simply by observing Master Murong's body language.
"So what if I am?" Gu Ruoyun did not deny this. Her identity would be revealed sooner or later anyway.
The Murong family grew anxious and stared vigilantly at the scholar.
"Besides, I'm sure that all of you have consumed the treasures in the Door of Life, am I correct?"
The scholar fixed his gaze upon Gu Ruoyun.
Based on the intonation of his final question, it was obvious. The treasures of the Tomb of the Supreme Ruler have ended up in Gu Ruoyun's hands.
Gasp!
Instantly, all eyes turned towards her.
There was skepticism, greed, and fury...
Of course, the glare of fury had come from Yeh Luo!
On what basis? On what basis should we have had to face so many perils and emerge with nothing. This woman didn't do anything yet she had managed to get everything so easily.
This was simply too unfair!
"Little lady, as humans, it is not wise to be too greedy."
The second-in-command of the Wolf's Fang Robbers, the man with side whiskers, looked at Gu Ruoyun and scoffed coldly. He swung his large sword over his shoulder and approached Gu Ruoyun. His fierce features full of arrogance.
