Su Lin saw Gu Ruoyun walking out of the forest with one glance and a venomous light flashed in her eyes. However, this time, she did not say a word. She only scoffed and walked towards the direction of the exit.
No one noticed the murderous intent in Su Lin's eyes the moment she left.
"Everyone, the elimination round is over. Those who have successfully passed can return to rest now! Report back to the Heavenly Moon Empire's Imperial Palace in three days' time. The second round of the Competition will begin then. "
An old man stood in the middle of the crowd as he gave his instructions in a steady manner.
Once he had spoken, the crowd dispersed. Their seven days of experience had left them utterly exhausted. They needed to return home and recuperate.
"Xiao Yun 'er." Zuo Shangchen paused as he stared at the departing geniuses. He then slowly turned around and his eyes landed on Gu Ruoyun. "I won't be able to participate in the next round of the Competition so whether I can obtain the Moon Soul Herb or not will depend on you."
"Alright."
Gu Ruoyun nodded as her eyes filled with a solemn air.
She must obtain the Moon Soul Herb no matter what. Only the Moon Soul Herb could save Gu Shengxiao …
…
However, Gu Ruoyun never expected to receive an uninvited guest just as she returned to the Heavenly Moon Empire's guest house.
A white-robed woman was standing in front of her. Her eyes were clear and cold but there was a faint sense of arrogance in the space between her brows. She then sized Gu Ruoyun up from head to toe before asking, "Are you Gu Ruoyun?"
Gu Ruoyun furrowed her brows as she gently stroked the little fellow in her arms. Her voice was clear and steady as she spoke, "That's right, I am Gu Ruoyun. May I ask what business does the Underworld's Left Protector have with me?"
"I've heard about your performance in the Evil Spirit Forest! I also know that you're a late-stage exceptional state genius! I'm here to make a deal with you. "
The Left Protector tried her best to speak in a calm voice, "Among the many geniuses who have participated in the Competition, it's very likely that you'll become the champion! Hence, I want to make a deal with you. Once you've become the champion, give me the Moon Soul Herb. As a reward, I'll allow you to enter the Underworld and become a disciple of the Underworld! "
After all, there are countless geniuses on the mainland who wish to enter the Underworld. Unfortunately, the Underworld does not recruit disciples from the outside. Hence, forget about entering the Underworld, they can't even find out where the Underworld is located!
This was why the Left Protector believed that this woman would never reject such a tempting offer!
"My apologies." Under the Left Protector's confident expression, Gu Ruoyun calmly replied, "I'm participating in the competition for the Moon Soul Herb as well. Hence, if I become the champion, I will never give the Moon Soul Herb to anyone else."
The Left Protector's expression froze as if she never thought that Gu Ruoyun would reject her terms so boldly.
Her expression turned ugly at the thought of this, "Little girl, do you know what kind of place the Underworld is? It's a place where even the Emperor of the Heavenly Moon Empire would have to give in to. Anyone who can become a disciple of the Underworld will bring glory to their ancestors! Perhaps you think that being an ordinary disciple is too low. How about this, if you agree to my terms, I'll accept you as my disciple! This is the best condition I can promise you! "
