Chapter 1020: Gu Lan's Identity (12)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"A wall? Haha, Trusted Advisor, are you teasing me? Why can't I see a wall anywhere? Have you gone soft so you're using this excuse to trick us?"
"Tsk, tsk. No wonder this Trusted Advisor hasn't had a woman in so many years, he's a homosexual. However, we have things we need to do today and it involves the entire Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries. Trusted Advisor, aren't you being a little irresponsible?"
The Trusted Advisor felt even more anxious from the humiliation after hearing the disdainful jeers. However, there really was a protective shield that separated the two of them.
The Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries' Leader had a sinister look on his face all the while and had not spoken a single word. His eyes were fixed upon Xia Linyu but no one could read his thoughts at all.
"Brother Xia."
Gu Lan finally regained her senses from her initial shock and stared in astonishment at Xia Linyu, "What have you done? Why does he think that there's a wall between us?"
Xia Linyu smiled, "I had constructed a formation while you and the flaming lion were stalling for time. That was also the reason why I had not come out to help you. It's a good thing that I've finally succeeded."
"A formation?" Gu Lan's face filled with joy. "Brother Xia, you know how to construct a formation?"
"Mm. My sister taught me," said Xia Linyu's as his expression softened. "She was worried that I might fall into danger during her absence so she had taught me a series of formations which could protect my life! This is one of them."
Hearing this, the admiration on Gu Lan's face increased. Her eyes flickered with a magnificent light.
"Sister Gu is really awesome."
Not only is she powerful and a Pill Master, she even knows how to create formations! There's nothing in this world that she cannot do!
However, the young girl's bright eyes gradually darkened again and she laughed bitterly, "If only I were as powerful as her."
That way, my family wouldn't force me into a marriage alliance!
The hand that Gu Lan had placed on the jade bracelet slowly broke away at the thought of this but her heart heaved a sigh of relief.
Lifting the seal would require some time! Hence, she had not managed to successfully lift the seal earlier on. Now that brother Xia has stopped the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries in their tracks, she no longer needed to risk being discovered by her family.
"What on earth have you done?"
Unlike the other mercenaries, the Leader of the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries believed the Trusted Advisor's words! He understood that the Trusted Advisor was not the type of person who would make nonsensical remarks nor was he a homosexual. He could not possibly have gotten soft over this young man.
Hence, there was only one possibility - there really was a shapeless wall surrounding them.
The Leader of the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries had not managed to listen in on Xia Linyu and Gu Lan's conversation so he was not aware of the truth behind the matter.
Xia Linyu did not reply to his question. He then walked towards the flaming lion and frowned as he asked, "Are you alright?"
At that moment, the flaming lion's body finally relaxed and collapsed onto the ground with a loud thud. He gulped and gasped as he replied, "I'm... I'm alright. I won't be dying any time soon."
"You hang in there. Wait for my sister's return, she can heal your wounds."
Xia Linyu knit his brows even more and a sense of disturbance flickered in his clear gaze.
His supply of Healing Pills has long been depleted. These days, he was usually by Gu Ruoyun's side so he had not needed to worry about the lack of pills. Had he known that something like this would happen, he would have asked Gu Ruoyun for more pills for self-defense.
The Leader of the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries' eyes became more sinister. He then glared fiercely over at the Trusted Advisor.
If it wasn't for this b*stard, we would have succeeded long ago! However, I never expected Xia Linyu to have this ability!

"Damned brat, you've offended the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries. One day, you will regret everything you've done today. Let's go!" When he saw how Xia Linyu had ignored his question, the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries' Leader looked extremely ugly in the face.
However, if this were to drag on any longer, Ye Ying and the others would have returned!
He has to leave before that happens!
As for the remaining World Destruction Mercenaries... It wouldn't hurt for the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries to join forces with the Zhang family and hunt them down once again!
"Trying to escape now? Don't you think that it's a little too late?" Xia Linyu said as he turned to look at several figures who were heading towards them from not too far away. A small smile formed on his delicate face as he exclaimed gracefully.
The Leader of the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries was stunned. He then sensed a murderous intent from behind him. He turned around and when he saw the furious yet handsome face, he frowned as he exclaimed, "That brat Ye Ying has returned so quickly!"
"I never thought that the Leader of the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries would do something like this," said Ye Ying. He laughed icily and spoke in a disdainful voice, "Taking advantage of my absence to bully a weak woman and a feeble young man? Aren't you afraid of this leaking out and influencing your reputation in the Northern Block Territory?"
The Leader of the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries burst into laughter and spoke in a domineering manner, "Losers are always in the wrong, this is a reality which has never changed on this mainland. Besides, history is written by the victors. So what if I were to bend the rules for the sake of unifying Green Maple City? In the eyes of everyone else, I'm merely displaying formidable will. What's wrong with that?"
"Ye Ying, he's quite right. Losers are always in the wrong. This has indeed been a reality on this mainland."
As Ye Ying was about to retort, a clear and cool voice spoke up from his side, causing him to swallow his words.
"Haha!" The Leader of the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries burst into laughter. He narrowed his pupils and turned his attention to the elegant but dusty-looking woman in the crowd. He gently lifted the corners of his lips as you said, "Ye Ying, can't you see? Even someone on your side has verified my words. Do you still believe that I'm in the wrong?"
Ye Ying laughed icily as if he had not heard the Leader of Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries' disdain.
He knows that Gu Ruoyun has her reasons for saying these words.
True enough, just as the Leader of the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries had spoken, Gu Ruoyun laughed once again. Her laughter was indifferent and no one could see any clear emotion on her face.
"So..." She paused before continuing, "The history of Green Maple City shall be rewritten by the World Destruction Mercenaries! You, on the other hand, will become a stepping stone for the World Destruction Mercenaries in their unification of Green Maple City!"
The Leader of Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries' expression changed drastically.
How could he possibly not understand what Gu Ruoyun had meant?
This fellow is actually saying that the World Destruction Mercenaries are the kings while I'm the foe?
Haha! This is simply too arrogant, too egotistical!
The Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries are the ones who will be the victors to rewrite Green Maple City's history! The World Destruction Mercenaries must serve beneath my feet and forever look up towards me!
"Miss, it is not a crime to be wild in your youth. Unfortunately, you have no sense of when you should be wild and when you should keep your mouth shut. You seem to be under the impression that the World Destruction Mercenaries are very powerful so you're trying to hold onto their legs. However, the legs you are holding on to are not steady at all and cannot shield you, a person who sprouts such conceited nonsense!" said the Leader of the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries as he laughed icily.
Based on his point of view, this little girl was clearly here to cruise onto their fame! Ye Ying had not even spoken yet this little girl had dared to spit such conceited words. How was this any different from digging one's own grave?

"Sister."
Xia Linyu glanced at the Leader of the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries first before he turned his gaze towards Gu Ruoyun and said, "The flaming lion has suffered serious injuries because of him. Can you have a look at him first?"
"Alright."
Gu Ruoyun gently nodded. Her eyes pierced through the crowd before her and landed on the flaming lion's body which was drenched in blood. She frowned mildly but did not say much. She then ignored the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries as she headed towards the flaming lion.
The flaming lion growled and tried to speak but could not find the strength to form the words. He lay weakly on the ground and no longer carried his previously majestic air.
"Eat this."
Gu Ruoyun placed a pill in front of the flaming lion and ordered in a deep voice.
The flaming lion did not hesitate. He used his tongue to lap up the pill and pulled it into his mouth. As soon as he had swallowed the pill, he felt as if a gentle hand was stroking the pain from his body and no longer felt his initial agony.
"Your wounds are very serious. They won't heal so soon so you should lie down and get some rest first. Gu Lan, take care of him."
Gu Ruoyun then rose to her feet and headed back towards Ye Ying and the others.
"Hmph."
The Leader of Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries saw what Gu Ruoyun had done but did not think too much of it. Based on his observations, that flaming lion would not be alive very much longer and would die from severe blood loss very soon.
Even the rich and famous physicians of the Northern Block Territory would not be able to save him.
"Young lady, did you hear anything I've just said?"
He raised his head as he stared domineeringly down at Gu Ruoyun who was heading towards him.
"Tian Lang, shut your mouth!"
This time, Ye Ying did not give him any chance to speak. as he instantly bellowed and cut him off, "Do you have any idea who she is? Yet you dare to humiliate her in this manner? Her power is far greater than the both of us. You can only act with arrogance in front of her in your ignorance!"
Leader Tian Lang shuddered. He knitted his brows tightly and stared skeptically at Gu Ruoyun.
Could it be that this little girl comes from substantial origins? Otherwise, why would Ye Ying say such things?
Once he thought of this, Leader Tian Lang no longer displayed his previously insulting manner to her. However, the viciousness on his face only deepened as he asked curtly, "Who is she?"
Ye Ying had merely intended to stop Leader Tian Lang and had not thought this through thoroughly. He fell silent when he heard Tian Lang's question. After all, Gu Ruoyun's name alone would attract too much attention on this mainland.
He, on the other hand, had not received the latter's approval and had pretty much revealed her identity.
This was a taboo for every cultivator!
"You want to know my name?"
Gu Ruoyun stepped towards Leader Tian Lang and came face-to-face with him. She then slowly paused in her steps.
Her fine hair was dancing in the gentle breeze while she had a dusty and indifferent smile on her face. Her green robes made her look like a bamboo tree which was standing loftily and boldly upright. It was an unconsciously dazzling sight.
"Alright. I'll tell you then. My name is Gu Ruoyun!"
Gu Ruoyun!
Boom!
That name was like a sudden bolt of lightning which crashed onto the ground and exploded into everyone's ear.
Aside from the World Destruction Mercenaries, everyone else went into a temporary daze for a few seconds before they then roared with laughter. Some even clutched their stomachs as they laughed until they had teared up.
"This is too funny, she actually claims to be Gu Ruoyun?"
"She thinks that the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries are so easily fooled to actually impersonate Great Master Gu. Just what kind of a person is Great Master Gu? She's a young and peerless genius; she's also a true Pill Master! Who does this woman think she is? Does she think that wearing a green robe would prove that she's Gu Ruoyun? Oh, damn it. Why are there so many idiots in this world?"
