Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Elder Tianren's face was livid and his expression was filled with a fiery rage. Gu Ruoyun's words have clearly caused his anger to explode and he no longer carried his previously encouraging manner.
"Didn't you say that she was the one who had some last minute business so she could not come with you to the Secret Order? What is she talking about now? She's saying that you're the one who had abandoned her! If I remember correctly, the Secret Order has never given you any other task!"
Mu Chu was now pale with fright and he was unable to retort at all. He lowered his head and did not even dare to look at the ashen expression on Elder Tianren's old face. After all, at a time like this, any other explanation would be futile.
"Besides, for the sake of having some time alone with Wen Ya on the road, you had cast the champion, Gu Ruoyun, away?" Elder Tianren laughed icily. His expression carried a sharp and cold air as he continued, "I really never thought that as an emissary of the Secret Order, you would commit such an offense. You had clung to the charms of a woman and allowed that t interfere with the matters of business. You are completely unworthy of the Clan Leader's faith in you."
"Elder Tianren." Mu Chu gritted his teeth and said, "I've been in the Secret Order for so many years, don't you trust me at all? The relationship between Wen Ya and me is strictly professional, it's nothing like what Gu Ruoyun's implying."
He glared fiercely at Gu Ruoyun as he said this.
That was right, he had indeed abandoned Gu Ruoyun. He would own up to this but he refuses to bear a crime he had not committed.
Besides, the one he loves is Wen Yue. Naturally, his relationship with Wen Ya would be strictly professional. Why would he throw himself into the arms of a beautiful woman on the road?
"You're saying that Wen Ya and you have a professional relationship?" Gu Ruoyun stared at Mu Chu in shock as if she really was not aware of the innocent relationship between the two of them. "During the assessment at Celestial Mountain, I had noticed that Wen Ya had gone to your guest room alone many times. Besides, you've even abandoned me for her sake so I thought that you were afraid that my presence would disturb your lovey-dovey time together. I thought that you had cooked up an excuse so you could her and leave. Are the two of you actually not involved with one another?"
Gu Ruoyun spoke in a puzzled manner but had undeniably blurted out Wen Ya's solitary visits to Mu Chu's room. Upon hearing this, Elder Tianren's expression became increasingly ugly. He tried to force the exploding rage down in his heart as much as possible.
"Gu Ruoyun, you're spitting venomous slander!"
Mu Chu nearly spat out a mouthful of blood as he glared angrily at Gu Ruoyun. He looked at her as if he wanted to chop her into ten thousand pieces.
Gu Ruoyun curled her lips and stared at Mu Chu with a forced smile, "I'm spitting venomous slander? Do you have the courage to swear that Wen Ya has never visited your guest room alone?"
"You..."
Mu Chu was filled with rage and a thick aura exploded from his heart. Wen Ya had indeed visited him but they were discussing how to get rid of Gu Ruoyun! However, he definitely does not have the courage to admit to this. Otherwise, this would certainly enrage Elder Tianren more than the matter surrounding his relationship with Wen Ya!
Gu Ruoyun also knows that he could not explain himself. This was why she had purposely said all these things. Her eyes carried a clear and cold light yet the corners of her lips were curled into an angle.
"Mu Chu!"
Elder Tianren's eyes have become increasingly sharp and he shot his glare at Mu Chu like a blade, "Can you give me an explanation regarding this matter? Or is it all just as the Gu girl had said, do you have some lewd relationship with Wen Ya? You had purposely abandoned the Gu girl just to enjoy Wen Ya's affection without any disturbances?"
The rules of the Secret Order have always been strict. Mu Chu has always abided by these rules and never made any mistakes all the while.
