Bai Yin took a deep breath and crawled to kneel in front of the man. At that moment, no one could see the anger and unwillingness in her eyes or the faint murderous intent.
"Your subordinate obeys! Once you've completed this mission, you shall return to the Territory to receive your punishment. "
The man in red did not say anything else. Similarly, he did not show any mercy.
If Gu Ruoyun did not have such valiant power, the one who had died would not have been the Snow Spirit Wolf but her.
Hence, he would never forgive Bai Yin!
"It's getting late, everyone should get some rest. Also, Yun Qing, Xue Kuang, tidy up these corpses and store them for our next meal."
"Yes, Grand Lord."
The two men named Yun Qing and Xue Kuang stepped forward and replied respectfully.
"Alright, everyone else, go get some rest. Set up Yun'er's tent next to mine while you're at it."
The man in red glanced at the crowd before entering his own tent.
Just as everyone was busy with their own tasks, Bai Yin took a deep breath and approached Gu Ruoyun's side. She lowered her gaze and asked, "I've asked you to leave, why didn't you?"
Gu Ruoyun looked at Bai Yin and replied calmly, "I had agreed to leave not because you had asked me to, but because I wanted to! In this world, no one can order me to do anything. "
"I don't care what you say. You promised me to leave but you didn't. That means you've broken your promise." Bai Yin was a little agitated as she spoke. Her beautiful eyes glared angrily at Gu Ruoyun, "Besides, do you think that the Grand Lord had kept you because he likes you? It's because you look too much like the Madam. He had kept you because he missed the Madam so much. Otherwise, why would he accept you as his goddaughter? So, don't even think about dreaming about flying up the branches and becoming a phoenix! In the Grand Lord's heart, you're only the Madam's shadow. If you're really sensible, you should leave quickly so that you won't be the one who gets hurt. "
Because she had purposely lowered her voice, no one else besides Gu Ruoyun could hear what she had said.
Gu Ruoyun did not say a word. Regardless of the reason why she had decided not to stay, she had made a promise after all. This time, she had indeed broken her promise. However, if she was given another chance, she would make the same choice.
The reason was because of him. Because of the intimacy that the man gave her, her heart felt warm.
"Have you said enough?" After a long pause, Gu Ruoyun raised her head and stared at Bai Yin who was about to continue jabbering on, "If you've had enough, I'm going back to rest."
"Gu Ruoyun!" Bai Yin's eyes darkened as she replied icily, "Why must you lower yourself to become someone else's shadow? Are there no more men in this world? Why did she have to pester the lord? The Lord is so infatuated with Madam, he will never tolerate you! "
She had been by his side for twenty years, but she had never managed to enter his heart.
This woman had just appeared, and she wanted to replace Madam's position in the Lord's heart? Dream on! Even if she looked similar to Madam, it was impossible!
Gu Ruoyun slowly turned around and her clear and cold eyes landed upon Bai Yin. She calmly raised the corners of her lips and said, "Since I've acknowledged him as my godfather, in my heart, he's like a father to me. Also, are you really fighting for the Madam's sake or... Are you doing this for yourself?"
