Chapter 1011: Gu Lan'3s Identity (3)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
While we've already exacted our great revenge, our relatives will never be able to come back to us!
Hence, Gu Ruoyun really hoped that someone could help disintegrate the agony in his heart. After all, if it were not for Xiao Ye, she would never have been able to step out from her pain so soon.
"While I plan on matchmaking them, there's one thing that I'd need to inform you first." Ye Ying smiled as a profound glint flashed in his eyes. "To this day, I do not know who Gu Lan really is! I only managed to save her one year ago completely by coincidence. I saw how she had nowhere to go so I took her in. Only, after interacting with her for a long time have I come to realize that she carries a spiritual weapon."
"A spiritual weapon?"
Gu Ruoyun raised her brow and turned towards Ye Ying's profound features.
"That's right," Ye Ying nodded, "Miss Gu, as a cultivator, you are aware that there are different classes of spiritual weapons. It's not that there aren't any spiritual weapons in Northern Block Territory, it's just that those spiritual weapons are mainly owned by a few great organizations. Furthermore, she's mentioned about having acquaintances in the main city. I can make a rough guess, that she must be a great Young Lady from one of the great powers in the main city."
Gu Ruoyun fell silent.
Prior to her journey here, she had a rough understanding of the powers in Northern Block Territory. So naturally, she knew which organizations Ye Ying had been talking about.
"If they really do fall in love with each other, then it shouldn't matter who Gu Lan really is!" Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders complacently. Of course, that would require for them to actually fall in love first.
Ye Ying laughed loftily. "How could I have forgotten, you're not only a pill master, you're the true Master of Northern Block Territory! I believe that with your power, uniting Northern Block Territory wouldn't be much of a problem for you! Then Gu Lan's identity wouldn't change anything. Actually, I'm only telling you these things because I want to remind you, that while I want to matchmake them, I don't want Gu Lan's identity to become a barrier in the end."
He glanced at Gu Ruoyun as he spoke, and lifted the corner of his lips. "However, I think that as his sister, you will definitely be able to help your brother. So I can rest assured."
Gu Ruoyun smiled faintly. If Yu'er really does develop feelings for Gu Lan, I would be delighted.
As for Gu Lan's identity, that wasn't a big issue.
Ever since Ye Ying and the rest had returned to Green Maple City, a few eagle-eyed citizens managed to recognize their shadows. Then, they hurriedly reported this to the leader of the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries.
At this moment, in the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries' territory, a middle-aged man picked up a random cup next to him and fiercely threw it onto the ground with a loud crash. His fierce features looked absolutely twisted from his rage, his eyes filled with malice.
"What did you say? That bastard Ye Ying didn't actually die in Nemesis Forest, and he's actually escaped?"
"Leader, this is the truth. I actually did see them return, and they've even brought back a pair of strangers!"
A short man knelt before the middle-aged man's right-hand seat and spoke with excellent voice and expression, "Leader, this Ye Ying really doesn't know what's good for him. He was defeated by our Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries, and yet he still has the audacity to return. Should we go loot his home and destroy him?"
The middle-aged man's entire face was full of malice. His eyes were like a venomous snake, filled with poison. It was difficult to even look at him.
"Where did he go after his return?"
"Reporting to you, Leader. Ye Ying took the rest to the black market. Only Gu Lan and a crippled young man returned to the World Destruction Mercenaries' unit! Are we going to meet with Ye Ying at the black market now?"

The middle-aged man fell silent. After a long pause, his vicious eyes stared at the shorty who knelt before him.
"You say that Gu Lan went ahead and returned to the World Destruction Mercenaries' unit with a young man?"
"That's right, I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Since that's the case, then we'll go to the World Destruction Mercenaries' unit instead!" The middle-aged man sneered. The corners of his lips curled into an eerie angle. His ferocious features grew even more sinister and terrifying, making one tremble with fear.
The short man was in a daze. He asked confusedly, "Leader, only Gu Lan and the young man are in the World Destruction Mercenaries' unit. Why go to war over these two? There's simply no need for that!"
"Idiot!"
The middle-aged man glared at the short man with eyes full of loathing. He replied icily, "Why does an idiot like you exist in our Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries? That kid, Ye Ying is quite powerful. He's not even thirty years old and he's already a low-level Martial Supreme. If I go up against him, I might not be able to defeat him. It might even end in disaster! The reason why I had been able to ambush him previously was entirely because I had the Zhang family's help! Now, those members of the Zhang family have left Green Maple City, would I still brainlessly walk into a bloodbath with Ye Ying?"
Actually, based on his power, he might not lose against the young Ye Ying.
Except, there hasn't actually been a lack of powerful cultivators in Green Maple City aside from both their organizations! If he were to end up seriously hurt for the sake of killing Ye Ying, many would find it very easy to take advantage of the opportunity.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Anyone could understand the logic behind that.
It was due to that very reason, that both parties have been able to live in harmony for so many years!
"But, if our Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries aren't going to fight the World Destruction Mercenaries, why disturb Gu Lan?" The short man still could not understand the reason behind his Leader's plan.
"You really are a f*cking idiot! Can't you use your brain? Ye Ying is a man who greatly values friendship. If we take Gu Lan away, would he remain nonchalant?" The middle-aged man laughed icily, as he spoke with a malicious look on his face, "Of course, I didn't want it to come this. Ye Ying forced my hand! So, I'm determined to be the only decision-maker in Green Maple City. He's nothing but a child. What right does he have to divide my territory?"
In the middle-aged man's point of view, Green Maple City belonged to him!
Ye Ying had the gall to divide his land for so many years, so he must prepare to be swallowed whole!
The middle-aged man's eyes darkened at the thought. He laughed coldly. "However, this girl Gu Lan, seems to have some power as well. In order to cut the battle short, I'll take care of this, personally! As long as we capture this girl, I believe that Ye Ying would no longer have the gall to retaliate against me! As for the young man that the girl, Gu Lan has escorted back..."
He paused. A murderous intent flashed across his vicious eyes. "Kill him!"
The black market is situated at the heart of Green Maple City.
The staff here are noisy, and you would hear a loud announcement on sales at any time.
Gu Ruoyun swept her gaze across each and every stall, but could not find the things that she had been looking for. She shook her head and sighed. "Ye Ying, are these the only stalls in the black market? Are there other sections?"
After all, the items here are certainly not considered to be valuable treasures.
Furthermore, the black market of Green Maple City's prestige could not possibly amount to this.
Indeed, after hearing her question, Ye Ying nodded. "This is only the most common section of the black market. While there may be leaks from time to time, it happens very rarely. I was afraid that we would overlook something, so I brought you here to have a look. Since the treasures you are looking for aren't here, then I'll take you to the underground black market."

The stalls were much quieter in the underground black market compared to the stalls Gu Ruoyun had seen earlier on. No one was yelling either. Every stall owner was completely quiet, sitting silently inside his own stall. Occasionally, a few of them would explain their wares to a customer.
Gu Ruoyun swept her gaze across every single stall, but none held her attention.
It goes without saying that Green Maple City's black market certainly lives up to its reputation. She only needed one sweeping glance to find many treasures that would cause a sensation in the secular world. Only, based on her current level in power and her stash, these items were of no interest to her any longer.
"What is it? Is there nothing you like?" Ye Ying noticed Gu Ruoyun's furrowed brow and smiled gently as he asked.
Gu Ruoyun shook her head. Just as she turned away, her gaze instantly froze at one particular stall.
The owner of the stall was a young man dressed in blue robes. He was tall and slim, with very fair skin, especially those blue eyes of his. It was as if one could sink into them, unable to get out.
Unfortunately, he had one area of imperfection — the man had an ugly, dark freckle on his face.
It was also due to the existence of that freckle, that spoilt the soft and beautiful feeling.
Ye Ying noticed that Gu Ruoyun had fixed her attention on the man in blue robes. Mildly astonished, he explained. "That's Lan Ge. Everyone in Green Maple City is aware of his situation. The Master of the Lan family in the main city happens to be his uncle. Except, Lan Ge's existence is unclear. He's brought bad luck to his father and mother, which resulted in his banishment from the Lan family. After that, he arrived in Green Maple City."
He paused, then continued to speak, "This Lan Ge is a marvel as well. He brought a bunch of sweets to sell at the black market, claiming them to be pills. However, who would dare purchase his pills? Perhaps eating them would end up giving you diarrhea."
Ye Ying laughed.
This Lan Ge isn't some pill master either, yet he claims that these playthings are pills. Who could believe him? Poison is more like it.
Gu Ruoyun did not seem to hear Ye Ying's words at all. She automatically walked towards Lan Ge, as if she did not mind the pills on display in his stall. "These pills, did you refine them yourself?" She asked.
Seeing how someone had finally made an inquiry at his stall, Lan Ge's blue eyes lit up. He smiled and nodded. "Yes, I refined them myself."
His voice was melodious, rather pleasing to the ear.
If it were not for that dark freckle on his face, this man would undoubtedly be considered a peerlessly beautiful man.
Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun's eyes flicked, but she did not say very much, only carefully surveying the pills in his stall.
"Can you tell me what kind of pills these are?"
Lan Ge smiled gently and replied Gu Ruoyun's question very patiently, "Actually, due to the absence of a pill formula, my pills are not very valuable. However, these pills can rapidly cure a few colds. It wouldn't be a problem there."
The corners of Gu Ruoyun's lips curled in a shallow angle. She picked up a pill from the stall, placed it in her mouth and chewed on it. Then, the smile on her face grew more pronounced.
"The flavor is actually pretty good, except there are a few errors in your refinement technique. If you could place the mugwort leaf in front of the heavenly moon flower, perhaps the end result would be even more effective."
