Ptui!
Lin You spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
Gu Ruoyun's punch had caused his entire mind to go blank. All he could hear was the noise around him but he could not hear what the others were saying.
"That was only one punch, you still owe me nineteen more."
Gu Ruoyun did not seem to care about Lin You's injuries at all. She calmly curled the corners of her lips and walked towards him.
"Miss." Just then, a cold and arrogant voice chimed in from behind Gu Ruoyun. "Let me give you a piece of advice. Show mercy wherever possible! Your companions are fine so why do you have to pursue this matter further? This will not do you any good at all. "
Gu Ruoyun did not stop in her tracks when she heard this. However, the faint smile on her face carried a sense of disdain.
"There are so many people here and everyone has heard Lin You's promise to endure twenty punches. Could it be that as the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he can go back on his word?"
In the beginning, the crowd had been shocked by Gu Ruoyun's display of power. Now that they had heard her words, they could not help but whisper into each other's ears and burst into a heated discussion.
After all, the Empire had organized this competition and the geniuses of the Empire's nobles were not the only ones who had come. The young, talented cultivators from various small and medium-sized organizations were also present. If word of this were to spread, Lin You's reputation of going back on his word and using his power to bully others would spread throughout the entire Heavenly Moon Empire!
Wuxu had thought of this as well and his expression turned a little ugly. "Miss Gu, I'll say this again, show mercy wherever possible! If you insist on doing this, I can't stop you. However, you must think this through. You may have some talent but you can't compare to a colossus like the Heavenly Moon Empire! Is it worth it to do something that you will regret for the rest of your life just for the sake of venting the resentment in your heart? "
Even though this old man had insisted that he would not stop Gu Ruoyun, his words were very obvious.
If you really want to vent your anger, fine! I won't stop you but you must be prepared to accept their revenge! Even if Gu Ruoyun's display of power had shocked them, so what? No matter how powerful a genius was, without a powerful backer, he would only be a genius!
Perhaps he could even fall at any time!
Lu Yun and the others shook their heads as their eyes filled with disappointment.
They had thought that the Empire's cultivators were gentlemanly people but they never thought that they would shield someone so indiscriminately! He was just short of saying that if Gu Ruoyun dared to touch Lin You, he would never let her get away with it!
"And you, Li Qing," Wu Xu turned towards Li Qing, his expression darkening as he said, "You are a member of the General's Residence after all, yet you are acting in concert with these people? Of your status, how can you face this? For the sake of the general, I won't make things difficult for you today. You may leave! "
Li Qing's expression changed. Even though his father was a general, he did not dare to offend the elders, but ….
He bit his lip and said, "Elder Wuxu, it was Lin You who had caused trouble for us first. Besides, he had indeed promised Lady Gu that he would accept her twenty punches. Everyone here had heard it. Does Elder Wuxu want the Heavenly Moon Empire to bear the bad reputation of going back on our word, bullying the weak and shielding our own people without reason?"
