The two silent disciples of the Secret Order could not help but burst into laughter when they heard Zi Yun's words.
"Don't worry, the Secret Order will not beg you to return. However, don't let us hear you humiliating the Lord Left Emissary again. Otherwise, the members of the Secret Order will never let you get away with it."
Actually, if the Left Emissary had not brought Wen Ya into the Secret Order, perhaps these two disciples would not have looked down on Gu Ruoyun and the others. As the Left Emissary had not told them that anyone else would be coming, they had assumed that Gu Ruoyun was a wicked person who was trying to take advantage of the situation to sneak into the Secret Order.
Why would they show any courtesy towards a wicked person like her?
"Zi Yun, Chu Luo, let's go."
After saying her piece, Gu Ruoyun did not hesitate any longer and headed down the mountain...
...
At this moment, in the elder's chamber in the Secret Order, the old man who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the report from the person in front of him. Even his breathing quickened, "You're saying that that kid, Mu Chu, has brought the winners of the assessment into the Secret Order?"
Does this mean that he would be able to see the Sacred Lady's daughter very soon?
"Reporting to Elder, the Lord Left Emissary has indeed returned. He has also brought a few outsiders with him. If I may be so bold as to guess, those people are the winners of the assessment."
"Alright."
The elder's eyes flickered, "Pass down the order for the Left Emissary to bring the winners of the assessment and wait for me in the great hall. I will make a trip there now."
"As you wish, Elder."
The man joined his fists and retreated.
"Even though the Clan Leader has the intention of testing the Sacred Lady's daughter, I must receive her since she has come from afar no matter what. It would also be good to leave a deep impression on her. Once the Sacred Lady returns, I might be able to use this opportunity to curry her favor."
Elder Tianren hurriedly walked out of the elder's chamber at the thought of this. His hurried footsteps carried a sense of anxiousness but most of it was a sense of anticipation.
...
The Secret Order's great hall was not as splendid and magnificent as the ones in the outside world. Instead, it exuded an ancient charm that had lasted for ten thousand years.
However, the great hall was now so spacious that only two people were sitting on chairs in the aisle.
"Lord Left Emissary, did you say that Elder Tianren wishes to see me?" Wen Ya still had an elegant smile on her face. However, the excitement in her heart could be seen from her beautiful eyes.
After all, he was an elder of the Secret Order. His status was not inferior to the City Lord's.
"That's right." A sense of doubt flashed in the Left Emissary's eyes. "Elder Tianren has indeed asked me to bring you to the main hall to see him but I don't know what this is about. After all, the Clan Leader holds Elder Tianren in the highest regard and his status is exceptionally noble. Even my Master has to show him some respect."
But now, that arrogant Elder Tianren wanted to meet Wen Ya?
The Left Emissary frowned, clearly unsure of what was going on.
As the two of them conversed, an elderly figure gradually appeared outside the hall and entered their line of sight.
At the same time, Elder Tianren noticed Wen Ya who was seated next to the Left Emissary and his eyes filled with excitement.
"I had asked someone to inform the Left Emissary to bring the winner of the assessment to me. However, he had only brought a woman with him. If my guess is correct, this woman should be the Sacred Lady's daughter, Gu Ruoyun!" Elder Tianren thought for a moment and was about to step forward when he frowned. "But the age doesn't seem right. The Sacred Lady's daughter is only around twenty-four years of age while this woman is clearly nearing thirty. Could it be that the Sacred Lady's daughter has suffered too much over the years and is now showing signs of aging?"
Elder Tianren thought for a long time but could only come up with this one possibility. He then shook the thought from his mind and walked towards Wen Ya with a smile on his face.
