Elder Tianren laughed bitterly. Opinion? What opinion could he possibly have?
This little girl was the Sacred Lady's daughter. If he had any opinions and the Sacred Lady found out about it, he would probably have to bear the consequences!
"Gu girl, if this had happened to anyone else, I would never allow anyone to humiliate the Secret Order in such a manner. However, as the champion of this assessment, I will allow you to take revenge. I only hope that you can give me some face and not spread the word about what happened today. Otherwise, the Secret Order would lose all face in the First City."
Elder Tianren's eyes flickered a few times as he slowly spoke.
Of course, he would not tell Gu Ruoyun the real reason. Hence, he had used her status as the champion as an excuse. This way, it would be convincing enough.
"Zi Yun, Chu Luo." Gu Ruoyun looked at the two people behind her and calmly ordered, "Since the elder has spoken, take him out and take revenge however you want! I have something to discuss with the elder of the Secret Order. "
Zi Yun was shaken and he stared at Elder Tianren vigilantly, "Master, this fellow's origins are unknown. I don't feel at ease leaving you here alone."
After all, because of Mu Chu, Zi Yun does not have a good impression of the Secret Order.
"With Zixie here, I won't be in danger. You may leave, I have something to discuss with the elder of the Secret Order." Gu Ruoyun calmly curled the corners of her lips as she stared at the elder in front of her with a forced smile.
Zi Yun wanted to say something else but Chu Luo grabbed him and dragged him outside.
At the same time, the unlucky Mu Chu was dragged out as well.
Not long after, Mu Chu's cries, which sounded like a pig being slaughtered, could be heard from outside the door...
"Speak." Gu Ruoyun turned her gaze towards Elder Tianren and smiled calmly, "The Secret Order is shielding me not only because I'm the champion of the assessment. There must be some other reason. You don't have to use that excuse to fool me, I won't believe you."
The Secret Order may have strict rules and would never allow any member of the clan to break any rules. However, to an organization like the Secret Order, their reputation was more important than anything else. She does not believe that Elder Tianren would allow her people to beat up Mu Chu just because she was the champion of the assessment.
Elder Tianren's expression was a little awkward. The Clan Leader had previously ordered him to test this little girl. Hence, he could not possibly reveal the matter regarding the Saintess.
Besides, looking at Gu Ruoyun's behavior, she probably does not know that she is the Sacred Lady's daughter.
"Cough, cough." Elder Tianren coughed dryly at the thought of this and said, "Gu girl, do you know why the Secret Order is conducting an assessment?"
Gu Ruoyun raised her brow, "How would I know anything about the Secret Order?"
"Sigh." Elder Tianren sighed gently and smiled bitterly, "Little girl, there's one thing I can tell you clearly. The Secret Order will allow a few disciples with outstanding talents to receive the inheritance every year. Even though their powers have increased significantly after receiving the inheritance, I can say that the inheritance is a failure."
Gu Ruoyun's heart sank. Accepting a failed inheritance had resulted in such a great change in power. How much more powerful would the person who had successfully accepted the inheritance be?
"Lass, this inheritance was left behind by an expert ten thousand years ago! That cultivator had expended all of his energy in order to find this item on this vast mainland! Unfortunately, that cultivator was unable to use the inheritance for himself and had left it here. He then ordered the members of the Secret Order to guard it. After that, that cultivator disappeared. "
