"Gu Ruoyun!"
Gu Ruoyun was in the midst of cultivation in the Secret Order's disciple's room when a voice chimed in from outside. Just as she opened her eyes, the room's door was flung open and she saw a green-robed Yun Yan rushing in anxiously.
Gu Ruoyun looked at the flustered Yun Yan and raised her brows. She did not say a word.
However, this action caused Yun Yan's body to stiffen. He cried out in a slightly conflicted manner, "Leader …"
Heaven knows how unwilling he was to address her but he had no other choice. It was his own fault for losing to this woman in the competition and for making such a promise.
The members of the Secret Order have always kept their promises. No matter how proud and arrogant he was, he would never go back on his word.
"What's the matter?" Gu Ruoyun swept her gaze across Yun Yan's panicked face and asked indifferently.
"Oh, it's like this." Yun Yan composed himself and said, "Leader, I'm afraid that your inheritance is in danger. I'm here to inform you of this."
Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun's heart thumped violently. She furrowed her brows and asked, "What's happening in the Secret Order now? Could it be that someone else wants to challenge me again? "
"This is even more difficult than letting you accept a challenge." Yun Yan glanced at Gu Ruoyun cautiously. "Leader, I've just heard that the Clan Leader has issued an order to choose a new successor for the inheritance."
Gu Ruoyun's heart instantly sank to the bottom of an abyss. Her tightly furrowed brows refused to relax. Her delicate and pretty features were filled with a cold and distant air as she said indifferently, "It seems that the Secret Order likes to go back on its word."
This sentence caused a sense of embarrassment to appear on Yun Yan's arrogant face. "I'm not sure what's going on either. It's said that the person who can tame the Sacred Beast in the Secret Order will be the successor to the inheritance. Even though I don't know the truth of the matter, I understand that the Secret Order has always kept its word. Something must have happened in the Secret Order since the Clan Leader has issued this order."
Gu Ruoyun smiled calmly. "The inheritance belongs to the Secret Order. It doesn't matter how many times you want to choose again, that's your business. Of course, I won't give up on this inheritance either!"
Yun Yan stared at Gu Ruoyun awkwardly. He wanted to say something but he did not know what to say. All he could do was silently retreat.
If this had happened in the past, perhaps he would have been excited by the Secret Order's decision. However, now that he has been defeated by Gu Ruoyun, he has pledged his allegiance to her from the bottom of his heart. Hence, he felt a little dissatisfied with the Secret Order's decision.
However, he was only a disciple. How could he decide the Clan Leader's thoughts? Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only suppress it.
…
In the Clan Leader's chamber, Elder Tianren stared at the old woman who was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed. He asked in confusion, "Clan Leader, aren't we in the middle of the Gu girl's assessment? Why did you suddenly decide to choose a new successor? "
The Clan Leader laughed bitterly. She opened her eyes and shook her head helplessly, "This is not my idea, but the Holy Beast's decision."
"Saint Beast?" When Elder Tianren heard this, his eyes instantly widened and he stared at the Clan Leader's elderly features in astonishment. "Clan Leader, what did you just say? Has the Holy Beast finally spoken to you? "
The Clan Leader gently closed her eyes. After a long pause, she opened them again and calmly replied, "I don't understand what the Holy Beast is thinking either. Last night, it had communicated with me through our souls and had only instructed me to do this. As for what it wants to do, I have no idea! Besides, in the Secret Order, the only person who can interact with the Holy Beast without any hindrance is the Sacred Lady. Now that the Sacred Lady is not here, I don't understand what the Holy Beast is trying to say. "
