Gu Ruoyun felt strange in the absence of that little nagging fellow by her side

　　It was a good thing that after one month, all the poison had been cleared out of Ye Lan’s system and it was time to leave.

　　“Little girl, I’m truly grateful for your help. If it had not been for you, I’m afraid that I would never be as healthy as this for the rest of my life.”

　　Furthermore, from now on, he has already begun to reorganize the entire family!

　　Every time he thought of that old man’s recent actions, Ye Lan’s face would unconsciously sink. It would take a long time before he could recompose himself.

　　“Master Ye, if fate permits it, we will meet again.” Gu Ruoyun glanced behind Ye Lan, looking for a familiar small figure, “Ye Nuo isn’t coming?”

　　Ye Lan laughed bitterly, “He says he does not plan to send you off. He’s afraid that he won’t be able to withstand the urge to stop you from leaving. He has asked me to tell you to wait for him to break through to the rank of a Martial Emperor, then he’ll come and look for you.”

　　“Alright, I’ll wait for him to come find me then.”

　　Gu Ruoyun smiled, “Master Ye, we’ll be leaving now.”

　　“Let’s go, Lady Gu, I’ll escort you to the gate.”

　　Ye Lan smiled and replied.

　　Seeing this, Gu Ruoyun did not reject the offer. She nodded and said, “Alright.”

　　In the entire Ye family, those who have seen Ye Lan were far and few in between. As such, even if he had appeared in such a place, not many would be able to recognize him as the number one cultivator in the Ye family! However, there were bound to be a few elders who have seen him before. Hence, when they saw Ye Lan personally send Gu Ruoyun off, they were shocked.

　　They started to make guesses at the identity of this woman. Who is she and why would the Master personally send her off?

　　The soldier who was currently guarding the city gate was the very same one who had given Gu Ruoyun the test back then.

　　Initially, his heart leaped at the sight of Gu Ruoyun. Over the past few days, the Young Master has consistently asked him to find the whereabouts of the woman who was responsible for destroying the stone tablet. However, he had been unable to locate even a hair of her, it was as if she had disappeared into thin air.

　　He had not expected her to reappear. If he could inform the Eldest Young Master about this, he would certainly receive a great reward.

　　However…

　　Upon seeing Ye Xingtian who was following behind the girl, the soldier was immediately dumbstruck.

　　What is this? Didn’t the Eldest Young Master ask us to find this woman? Why is he walking with her now? Could it be that the Eldest Young Master had been toying with me?

　　Hence, when Gu Ruoyun’s shadow had disappeared from outside the city gate, the soldier had yet to regain his senses. He stared dazedly at Ye Xingtian.

　　“What are you daydreaming about?”

　　Ye Xingtian frowned in annoyance and chastised him.

　　“Eldest Young Master,” the soldier hurriedly recomposed himself and threw himself down to kneel on the ground, “This subordinate simply had not expected to see that genius woman, the one whom you’ve tasked me to find, to be walking by your side!”

　　His meaning was, You’re already acquainted with the girl whom you’ve asked me to find so why had you asked me to do so earlier?

　　“What do you mean?” Ye Xingtian still could not understand the situation. He frowned and asked, “When did I walk with the genius woman whom I’ve sent you to find?”

　　“Ah?”

　　The soldier was immediately dumbfounded. What is Eldest Young Master talking about, isn’t this the person he had been searching for?

　　It was Ye Lan who first managed to regain his senses. He exclaimed with a shocked look on his elderly face, “Could it be that Lady Gu was the genius woman who had destroyed the stone tablet?”

　　“What?”

　　Ye Xingtian finally understood what the soldier was talking about and nearly jumped, “What did you say? Lady Gu was the person we’ve been looking for?”

　　The father and son looked at each other as their eyes filled with shock.
