He had initially wanted to meet Gu Ruoyun so that he could freeload off her. He never thought that he would put his entire foot in.
"However..." Just as the young man was sighing with relief, Gu Ruoyuns voice rang out once again.
"I've only spared your life, I never intended to clear you of your debt! As a consequence of impersonating me, you shall follow Lan Ge from now on and listen to his orders and commands!"
Gu Ruoyun pointed at Lan Ge who was standing behind her and smiled brightly at the young man.
The young man did not reply but his eyes were darting back and forth again.
He knew that it would not be easy to make Gu Ruoyun let him off.
Besides, this woman was far too clever. He did regret his rash actions but if he really were to follow her, she might even swallow him whole.
As for the blue-eyed man behind her, he seems to be a bit more feeble-minded. Much easier to fool when compared to this woman.
"It looks that you agree with my decision."
Gu Ruoyun, who had been observing the young man the entire time, noticed his obvious sigh of relief and smiled as she said, "However, before you head off with Lan Ge, I want you to swallow this pill."
"What's this?"
The young man looked at the pill in the palm of Gu Ruoyun's hand as his eyes filled with caution.
He simply did not believe that Gu Ruoyun would be so kind as to grant him a pill. This thing in the girl's hand must not be anything good!
"Poison."
Gu Ruoyun gently moved her lips and replied.
"You..."
Just as the young man opened his mouth to yell at her, Gu Ruoyun flicked her fingers and turned the pill into a glowing ray of light which then flew straight into the man's throat. He was forced to swallow it immediately.
The young man was deeply in shock. He quickly reached a finger into his throat and attempted to dig the pill out. Unfortunately, while he did manage to throw up all the food which he had consumed today, he had not been able to expel the pill.
"What kind of poison did you put into me!" The young man wiped the bits of vomit from the corners of his lips as he glared fiercely at Gu Ruoyun.
Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders. "In order to avoid having traitorous thoughts from rising within you, I've used this pill to bind you. Don't worry, as long as you are obedient, you won't die for now. I'll send the antidote to Lan Ge every three months. As long as you consume one antidote every three months, all will be as if you've never swallowed the poison. Of course, if you try to escape or betray us, your entire body will rot and you will die."
The young man was trembling with rage.
What was he thinking? He had actually thought that he could come to this woman and freeload off her! Now, not only had he lost his freedom, he has been subjected to a lifetime of servitude!
The young man felt the urge to cry at the thought of this.
"Liu Yue, from now on, you must truthfully obey Lan Ge in all matters. If you should ever disobey him, you know the consequences. Lan Ge, let's go."
Once she had said her piece, Gu Ruoyun then turned around and headed out the door.
The young man was in a daze. Had I mentioned my name at all?
How had she known that my name was Liu Yue?
Could it be that I've accidentally let it slip?
Amidst the rustling autumn wind, a rich and diverse array of leaves were falling onto the ground.
In the courtyard, Gu Ruoyun paused in her footsteps before she smiled gently and addressed Lan Ge who had been following closely behind her. She spoke without turning her head, "Lan Ge, are you curious why I've allowed this fellow to tag along with you?"
Lan Ge nodded. When he realized that Gu Ruoyun could not see his reaction, he then slowly replied, "I do wish to understand this matter. He isn't very powerful and there's not much use to let him tag along with me."
