The crowd's discussion echoed throughout the plaza, causing the Clan Leader and the elders in the plaza to frown. It was obvious that they were very displeased with the Wen family guard's words. After all, the Sacred Beast had a strange temperament and it was usually extremely difficult to gain his approval. Furthermore, he was currently in the midst of a violent rage.
Allowing Gu Ruoyun to take the field under these circumstances would not work!
"Everyone."
The Clan Leader waved her hand, gesturing for the crowd to quiet down. She then swept her cold and indifferent gaze across the Wen family guard without leaving a trace as she spoke indifferently, "The Secret Order has always placed great emphasis on fairness. If we allow Gu Ruoyun to take the field now, it would certainly be unfair. Hence, let's disperse for now and wait for the Sacred Beast to calm down before we continue."
Wen Ya's expression changed drastically. She never thought that the Secret Order's Clan Leader would speak up for Gu Ruoyun in such a manner. This was clearly out of her expectations.
She gritted her teeth as her heart was about to go mad with hatred. Accompanied by a strong sense of hatred, her head began to ache violently. It was so painful that she quickly abandoned all thoughts in her mind and restored her state of mind to a calm state.
Once the Clan Leader had spoken, the plaza instantly fell silent. However, at this moment, the Wen family guard's voice rang out once again, "Lord Clan Leader, so many people have already tried but only Gu Ruoyun has yet to take the field. If we don't allow her to take the test today, it would be equivalent to giving her more time to prepare. Isn't this too unfair to the others?"
Whoosh!
This time, forget about the others, even Wen Ya's face turned deathly pale in an instant.
She had only been concerned with her jealousy and hatred towards Gu Ruoyun and had forgotten to order the Wen family guard to keep his mouth shut. She never thought that the guard, who had not received Wen Ya's order, would assume that his Young Lady wanted him to carry out his plot to the end. Hence, he had spoken so rudely in front of everyone.
The Clan Leader's eyes darkened as she replied in a light and breezy manner, "Hehe, I never thought that after the Secret Order had hidden itself away from the world for so many years, even a Wen family guard would dare to challenge the Secret Order's prestige! This isn't bad at all! It looks like I'll have to ask the Governor of the First City. Was this one of the Three Great Protectors that he had chosen back then? "
"Shut up!"
After the clan leader's dissatisfied voice sounded out, Wen Ya hurriedly stood up from the ground and fiercely slapped the guard beside her. With a stern expression, she said, "I haven't spoken yet, so what right do you have to speak? You usually take advantage of the trust the elders have in you to act like a tyrant. You even bullied my half-sister, Wen Yue! I could turn a blind eye to all of this and even let bygones be bygones when I brought you to the Secret Order. However, I never thought that you would say such treacherous things! "
Wen Ya had a very angry look on her face. Her eyes turned red as she scolded in a stern voice.
Anyone who was unaware of the situation would have thought that the Wen family's protector's actions were his own decision and had nothing to do with Wen Ya!
As for her, at most, she would be blamed for not disciplining her son properly.
The Wen family guard understood the situation and knelt on the ground with a thud. He then lowered his head and said, "Please forgive me, Young Lady. I could not stand by and watch. On the day of the Celestial Mountain's assessment, Gu Ruoyun had secretly poisoned you and forced you to give up on your position as the champion. Otherwise, how could she possibly have been crowned the champion? The champion position should have belonged to the Wen family in the first place. She had used unfavorable methods to obtain it! I don't want you to suffer under someone else's hand like this so I just wanted to stand up for you. "
