Wen Ya's eyes darkened. Even though he knew that Gu Ruoyun would not be so easily controlled, he never thought that she would reject him so straightforwardly, not giving the Wen family any face at all.
She took a deep breath at the thought of this and flashed a graceful smile on her face, "Gu Ruoyun, I had thought that you would agree to join forces with me on account of the fact that we had entered the Secret Order together. I never thought that someone as intelligent as you would not know which choice would benefit you the most."
She looked at Gu Ruoyun and slowly said, "Besides, let me tell you something else. Initially, only members of the Secret Order can obtain the inheritance. After all, only one person has the chance to do so every year. However, the inheritance has been snatched away by an outsider like you. There are many in the Secret Order who cannot accept this. When the time comes, they will definitely come and challenge you. If you join forces with me, I can ask the Left Emissary to protect you. Otherwise, you will have no friends or family in the Secret Order and I'm afraid that it will be difficult for you to survive."
Zi Yun was enraged and glared fiercely at Wen Ya. He was just about to say that Mu Chu could not even protect himself when Gu Ruoyun's calm voice slowly cut him off.
"If that's all you've come to find me for, you can go back now. I have no interest in joining forces with your Wen family."
Wen Ya's expression grew even colder. She laughed icily as her gaze pierced towards Gu Ruoyun like a knife.
"Gu Ruoyun, I've already given you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Don't blame me for not helping you in the future."
After saying this, she did not hesitate any longer and turned to walk out of the courtyard.
Soon, the figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
Gu Ruoyun fell silent as she watched Wen Ya leave. After a long pause, she spoke, "Zi Yun, Chu Luo, Wen Ya was right about one thing. The disciples of the Secret Order view the inheritance with great importance. For the sake of obtaining the inheritance, they would put their lives on the line. Now, this opportunity has been snatched away by me. Hence, they won't let us cultivate here in peace so easily. You must be prepared at all times."
Even though the members of the Secret Order have been living in seclusion for many years and are united as one, how could there not be disputes within an Order with such a long history? They would only be united when facing the outside world. Internally, they would also compete with other forces for the top position.
If a sect lost its competitiveness, it would not be far from destruction.
Only through competition could the disciples in the sect cultivate harder.
Thus, the elders of the sect tacitly approved of all of this.
"Master," Zi Yun shook and stared at Gu Ruoyun in confusion, "Elder Tianren seems to treat you very well. With him around, I don't think anyone would dare to make things difficult for us. Otherwise, the Left Emissary would not have received such a severe punishment."
Gu Ruoyun shook her head. "Elder Tianren had punished the Left Emissary because the Left Emissary was abusing his position to avenge a personal grudge. Not only had he stopped us from entering the Secret Order, he had also tried to harm us! However, the matters after entering the Secret Order are not the same. The inheritance belongs to the capable. If we can't even deal with the troublesome disciples of the Secret Order, how can we successfully obtain the inheritance? As such, if there were truly disciples who came looking for trouble, Elder Tianren would not stand up for us. In fact, he would even tacitly approve of such actions. "
"Master, won't we be in trouble in the future?" Zi Yun frowned and asked worriedly.
Gu Ruoyun smiled calmly and spoke in her usual nonchalant tone, "Since I'm already here, I might as well take things as they come. If the disciples of the Secret Order really want to provoke me, I have nothing to fear!"
