Evil Emperor's Wild Consort

The Great Elder had already discussed this with the Mu family before they arrived at the banquet.

After killing Gu Ruoyun, the Lan family would take the Divine Weapon while the pill formulas would belong to the Mu family! With the Mu family’s help, they would be able to get rid of Gu Ruoyun very quickly!

If she dies, her status as a pill master would no longer hold any impact!

"Lan Hong." Old Man Jiang slammed his hand onto the table and rose to his feet. He then sneered and said, "You don’t even pay any attention to the Jiang family! By daring to provoke the Gu girl, do you think of me as a dead corpse already?"

Old Man Gu did not say anything but his furrowed brows showed the dissatisfaction in his heart.

The Great Elder burst into laughter. "Old Man Jiang, on account that you are also a member of the Four Great Families, I’ll give you a piece of advice. Don’t get mixed up in these muddy waters. Do you know who Gu Ruoyun has offended? She has offended the Grand Lord of Red Lotus Territory. Red Lotus Territory has already issued the order to have her killed! Yet now, you still insist on helping this girl?"

Red Lotus Territory wants to kill me?

Gu Ruoyun gently raised her brows. She wanted to reveal the fact that Grand Lord Hong Lian was her biological father so there was no way the Red Lotus Territory would possibly issue this order!

Nevertheless, she knows that even if she were to reveal the truth, no one would believe her.

Gu Ruoyun, who did not put any weight on the Great Elder’s words, would not reveal her actual relationship with Grand Lord Hong Lian. However, this does not mean that the people standing by her would tolerate this,

"Tsk, tsk." The Vermillion Bird burst into clear laughter. Her eyes were filled with smiles yet her tone of voice was filled with disdain, "You claim that Grand Lord Hong Lian wants to hunt Gu Ruoyun down and kill her? I’ve never heard such nonsense in my life! A tiger, no matter how vicious, would never eat its own young. Grand Lord Hong Lian is my Master’s father, why would he want to kill her? Are you certain that the person who has given you this information isn’t trying to hurt you?"

The Vermillion Bird has lost control of her emotions long ago.

When she had met Lan Shao and Bai Yin for the first time at Wind Fall Village, she had already felt the itch to reveal this fact. However, she had been stuck in the Ancient Divine Pagoda at the time and could only watch as those idiots started a ruckus in front of Gu Ruoyun.

Now that she has been presented with the chance to do so, how could she remain silent?

Old Man Jiang’s brain instantly crashed and his mind was blown. He stared at Gu Ruoyun in shock, wishing that he could ask her to explain the truth.

Grand Long Hong Lian is Gu Ruoyun’s father?

Why have we never heard of this? Wasn’t Grand Lord Hong Lian a loner who had no offspring?

"Haha!"

The Great Elder roared with laughter. The crowd in the great hall then followed suit and laughed. However, they were not as exaggerated as the Great Elder. Some tried to stifle their laughter for fear that they would offend Gu Ruoyun.

Without a doubt, the Vermillion Bird’s words had amused the crowd.

They had met many overconfident people but they have never met anyone quite so presumptuous!

Just what kind of person was Grand Lord Hong Lian? He was a madman who with a notorious reputation known throughout the entire mainland! His powers were unimaginably great and his behavior was just as unreasonable! She’s really great isn’t she, posing as that madman’s daughter? Does she think that she’s been on this earth for far too long and now wishes to dig her own grave?

They have all heard of how Grand Lord Hong Lian had been separated from his wife for many years and he had never remarried. If that was the case, where would a twenty-year-old daughter come from? This has clearly been for their amusement!

"You claim that she’s Grand Lord Hong Lian’s daughter?" The Great Elder’s eyes were filled with disdain. He then pointed at Gu Ruoyun and sneered, "Do you think of us as fools? Grand Lord Hong Lian doesn’t have a daughter. Where on earth had she come from? Next time, if you want to impersonate someone else, at least do your research on that person’s situation in case you end up as a joke. Haha!"
