Gu Ruoyun could hear the resentment in the man in red's voice and shrugged her shoulders, "It's not that I wanted to hide it, you didn't ask me."
Hearing this, the man in red instantly fell silent.
Isn't that right? I'm useless, I couldn't see through her powers and I didn't even ask her. It's not like she's hiding it from me on purpose.
The man in red smiled at the thought of this and spoke in a doting tone, "You really are a little fox. Forget it, forget it, it's true that I didn't ask you. You weren't hiding it from me on purpose. It's getting late now, go and get some rest. I still have some matters to attend to."
The man in red paused and turned to look at Bai Yin, who was clearly frightened out of her wits. His gentle and doting demeanor towards Gu Ruoyun had now reverted to his cold and arrogant demeanor. His handsome features were etched with cold and hard lines as he stared expressionlessly down at the woman in white.
"Bai Yin, do you admit to your crimes?"
Thud!
Bai Yin hurriedly fell to her knees and broke out in cold sweat, "Grand Lord, your subordinate has failed in her protection. Please hold me accountable, Grand Lord."
When she said this, she bit her lips tightly.
This woman sure is lucky!
When the Snow Spirit Wolf had appeared, Bai Yin's heart had not been filled with fear. Instead, she had felt joy!
If Gu Ruoyun were to die, she would be the only one by the Grand Lord's side! She would never allow any other woman aside from the Madam to attract the Grand Lord's attention! Hence, she had not saved Gu Ruoyun on purpose.
"Failed in your protection?" The man in red laughed icily, "Do you think that you can make up for your negligence of duty by saying that you failed in your protection? I had asked you to protect her so even if you had encountered a ferocious spiritual beast, you would have protected her with your life. You can't use the excuse that you failed in your duty to absolve yourself. "
Bai Yin's face turned pale with a whoosh as cold sweat rolled down her forehead.
"Grand Lord, your subordinate knows her mistake. Please, Grand Lord, on account of the twenty years that I've been fighting alongside you in battle, please forgive me this once."
She kowtowed fiercely, and her forehead quickly turned red. However, it was as if she did not know the pain, and the kowtowing continued.
"Once this mission is completed, you will return to the territory to receive your punishment. After that, you will no longer need to stay by my side." The man in red lowered his eyes to stare at the woman kneeling on the ground. His voice was cold and merciless, "I have said that I will only give you one chance. If there is a second time, you must return to the territory to receive your punishment!"
Bai Yin's expression was now an extremely ugly sight. She has long placed all the blame on Gu Ruoyun.
If she hadn't stayed, why would the Lord treat her like this?
All of this was because of this hateful woman!
"Lord, you've only met her once. You don't even know her identity, let alone whether she's a spy sent by that force. Why do you trust her so much?" Bai Yin pointed at Gu Ruoyun and exclaimed angrily, "I've followed the Grand Lord for twenty years and have always been loyal and devoted. Now, you're punishing me like this because of this woman? I don't understand why! "
Bang!
A beam of red light flashed and slammed heavily into her chest. Bai Yin's body was flung out of the way and slammed heavily into the ground.
She raised her beautiful eyes in astonishment. In that moment, the man's gaze was as sharp as a knife and pierced into her eyes, causing her heart to ache with pain.
She had stayed by his side for twenty years. In the end, this man, whom she would never be able to forget, had treated her like this for the sake of a woman whom he had only met for the first time.
