The old man's face was filled with undisguised anticipation and everyone's eyes turned towards Gu Ruoyun. However, under everyone's watchful eyes, the young girl shrugged her shoulders and replied calmly, "I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about."
Even though Yunyao and Tianqiong had appeared in front of everyone before, who could truly be sure that they were the legendary White Tiger and Azure Dragon? As long as she refuses to admit it, everyone would only treat it as a rumor.
Besides, this old man had asked to see the two beasts from the very beginning. He clearly harboured ill intentions. She would never admit to this even if she was beaten to death!
Master Xia's expression froze. He stared at Gu Ruoyun who was feigning ignorance and took a deep breath. He nearly blurted out Lord Lingxiao's orders. However, he could not be sure if she really had the people Lord Lingxiao was looking for. For safety's sake, it was better to keep it a secret for now.
"This, Lady Gu, I don't have any ill intentions. If you really do have these two Divine Beasts, why don't you show them to me and broaden my horizons?" Master Xia forced a kind smile with great difficulty as he spoke in a gentle voice.
If the members of the Xia Family were to witness this scene, they would probably fall to the ground in fright. After all, their Master had always maintained a straight face in front of others. He would only treat the Little Master Xia Linyu with special care. But now, in front of this woman, he was speaking in such a gentle manner?
It was as if the sun had risen from the West.
Gu Ruoyun blinked and pretended to be doubtful, "I do have a dragon and a tiger but they are not the Azure Dragon or the White Tiger. Who spread this rumor? They are only ordinary spiritual beasts! "
What?
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
They had seen the tiger and the dragon before, especially the White Tiger's display of power. It was deeply engraved in their hearts. Yet now, Gu Ruoyun was telling them that they were not the Azure Dragon and White Tiger as the rumors had it?
That's right, the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger were legendary Divine Beasts. No one has ever seen them before! Even though they had been described in the history books, they were still far from reality. It was said that the Azure Dragon's dragon's breath could destroy an entire country and the White Tiger's foot could flatten mountains and rivers. Even though the two spiritual beasts in her possession were powerful, they were not as powerful as the Divine Beasts.
However, because of that, they firmly believed that the two spiritual beasts were two of the Four Divine Beasts, the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger.
Master Xia looked at Gu Ruoyun suspiciously. He could not tell if Gu Ruoyun really did not have the Azure Dragon and White Tiger or was she just playing dumb? No matter what, he had to personally confirm this matter.
"Little girl, can you summon your two spiritual beasts and let me have a look?"
"This …" Gu Ruoyun rubbed her nose, "They really can't come out."
What she said was the truth. Yunyao was on the verge of a breakthrough and was doing her best to do so. Firmament was naturally accompanying her. It was impossible for the two beasts to appear at this moment.
"Alright."
Master Xia sighed in disappointment. Suddenly, a light flashed in his eyes and he smiled again, "Lady Gu, would you be interested in coming to the Xia Family home as a guest?"
No matter what, he had to abduct her back first. Only by approaching her closely would he be able to ascertain whether her two spiritual beasts were the companions that Lord Lingxiao was looking for.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Xia." Gu Ruoyun smiled calmly but a strange light flashed in her eyes.
She had thought that even if she were to meet the Xia Family, she would need some time to enter the Xia Family home. She never thought that it would be so easy …
