Qianbei Ye smiled as he said, "I had discovered the Nine Underworld Flames by accident. Also, you were the only person in this world who can consume the Nine Underworld Flames. That's why I've brought you here."
After that, Gu Ruoyun did not say anything else as she sat down to consolidate the power she had received after her breakthrough.
Qianbei Ye did not disturb her and stood quietly at the side. However, his eyes had stayed fixed upon the woman's figure the entire time while his gaze filled with a tender smile.
Three days!
Gu Ruoyun had remained in the cave for three days as she solidified her cultivation. After all, she had raised her level by more than one rank and if she does not consolidate her powers, her foundation would become rather superficial. Qianbei Ye had been guarded her faithfully during these past three days and waited patiently for her to be done.
After three days, Gu Ruoyun finally consolidated her cultivation and opened her eyes.
"Xiao Ye, you must have been waiting for a long time."
She slowly rose to her feet and smiled at the man who was seated at the cave's entrance.
"Is it done?" Qianbei Ye rose to his feet when he saw her stand up. His peerless face was filled with a smile. "Congratulations, Yun'er, for breaking through to the exceptional state so quickly."
"This time, it's all thanks to your help that I've been able to break through so quickly."
Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders. "Now, I'd like to witness the Nine Underworld Flames' power."
She reached out her hand and tried to channel the Nine Underworld Flames.
Shua!
At that moment, a small black flame appeared in the palm of Gu Ruoyun's hand. However, when she saw the flame laughing, she was in shock...
"This is the Nine Underworld Flames?"
Isn't it a little too small...
"The Nine Underworld Flames' power grows in tandem with its Master's power. You have just broken through to the exceptional state now so the power you have isn't strong enough. However, with the Nine Underworld Flames in hand, you can surpass and defeat your enemies even without a spiritual weapon."
Qianbei Ye walked over towards Gu Ruoyun's side and curled his lips into an angle.
Gu Ruoyun looked somewhat melancholic. It seems that I'm still not powerful enough to display the full power of the Nine Underworld Flames.
"Senior Sister, I had found the Nine Underworld Flames over here a while ago."
Just then, someone spoke from outside the cave.
Gu Ruoyun mildly furrowed her brows and turned towards the sound of the voice. A light flickered in her eyes when she saw the people who had just entered the cave.
What an inevitable clash between opposing factions. I never expected to bump into them here!
"What are you doing here?"
Elder Mei was shocked as well as if she never imagined that Gu Ruoyun would be here. After a long pause, she returned to her senses and scoffed icily, "Gu Nianye, it seems that you can be found everywhere. The only thing is, I wonder who you're trying to suck up to this time?"
She then turned towards Qianbei Ye. Her eyes widened in shock when she laid eyes upon Qianbei Ye's peerless features.
This man's looks could surpass the Young Master of Wind Valley, Feng Yuqing!
I never thought that Gu Nianye would be so fortunate and be able to cling to such a great quality product.
To this day, Elder Mei still believes that Gu Ruoyun's name was Gu Nianye. If she knows who Qu Ruoyun really was, she probably would not have the audacity to say such a thing even if she had a hundred doses of liquid courage.
Especially after the great fuss which had happened in Wind Valley. Who in the First City would not have heard about Grand Lord Hong Lian, his wife and their daughter, Gu Ruoyun?
