"Xiao Ye."
Gu Ruoyun's face was filled with awkwardness, "Actually, I..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a voice as gentle as jade suddenly rang out from behind her, "Yun'er, your maternal grandfather is here. Go to the meeting hall, he's looking for you."
Dongfang Shaoze's words helped Gu Ruoyun recover from her awkward state. She paused for a moment before saying, "Xiao Ye, do you want to come with me?"
Qianbei Ye was shaken. What does Xiao Yun mean? Is she not angry at me?
"Let's go."
Gu Ruoyun did not wait for Qianbei Ye to recover from his daze. She turned towards Dongfang Shaoze and smiled, "Uncle, please lead the way."
"Alright."
Dongfang Shaoze smiled and swept his gaze across Gu Ruoyun and Qianbei Ye. However, he did not say a word as he walked towards the meeting hall.
From afar, Gu Ruoyun could hear the sound of argument coming from the meeting hall. That noise made her frown and a peculiar light flashed in her eyes.
...
At this moment, the atmosphere in the meeting hall was so solemn that it was suffocating.
The elders argued back and forth incessantly while Master Dongfang, the Master of the Dongfang Family, continued to furrow his brows without saying a word. His elderly face was cold and dignified and his eyes shone with a sharp light.
"Master, it's not that I want to criticize you but that Gu Ruoyun is only an outsider. She's not a member of the Dongfang family at all. Don't you know that a married daughter is like spilled water? Of course, her woman has nothing to do with the Dongfang family. Besides, the Eldest Lady had left without saying goodbye without your permission. Her daughter is used to being wild. Otherwise, she wouldn't have embarrassed Yan'er the moment she returned. "
The person who had spoken was Dongfang Yan's father, Dongfang Linli. He never thought that the girl who had caused his daughter to be punished by the Master would turn out to be the Gu Ruoyun who had caused the uproar in the outside world!
Most importantly, the Master had actually allowed her to represent the Dongfang family in the Divine Trials?
How could an outsider be allowed to represent an important event like the Divine Trials? Even if she had joined the Dongfang family, it would not change the fact that her surname was Gu!
Master Dongfang did not speak but his expression grew increasingly gloomy.
"Pfft."
The only female elder in the group of elders curled her lips into a smile. She swept a disdainful and disdainful gaze towards Dongfang Linli, "Elder Linli, that little girl may have the surname Gu but at the very least, her mother is Dongfang Yu. The blood of the Dongfang family flows in her veins. Besides, that little girl does indeed have power. I don't think that allowing her to represent the Dongfang family in the competition is a sign that the Dongfang family has no one else. Even if her surname isn't Dongfang, it won't change the blood that flows in her veins."
Dongfang Changjin had very few admirers in her life. Back then, she had also been young and frivolous, but among her peers, the only person she truly admired was Dongfang Yu.
In the past, she had treated her as an opponent, and for her sake, she had traveled thousands of miles to this place to fight.
She still remembered that day, that woman in white stood high above the clouds, floating like a fairy, looking down on everything. That day, that woman only used three moves to defeat the proud and arrogant her.
From then on, she changed her surname to Dongfang and joined the Dongfang family in order to follow her idol.
Who would have thought that not long after she had joined the Dongfang family, she would receive news of Dongfang Yu's death. She had been filled with regret for many years.
