“Master, if… If I can persuade the Azure Dragon to sign a contract with you, would you then agree to let him go? Now that his eyes are blind, he does not have any powers but I believe that he’ll recover one day. Being the leader of the Four Divine Beasts, he’ll definitely be your greatest ally. Oh sorry, besides Master Zixie and Master Qianbei as well.”

　　AS she felt Qianbei Ye’s bloodthirsty gaze and Zixie’s insistent pressure through the contract she had with Gu Ruoyun, Yunyao weakly corrected what she had said. How could she have forgotten about those two god-like beings…

　　Gu Ruoyun’s face was expressionless but in her heart, she was secretly happy. This was the result that she really wanted. Of course, those words had a far better effect coming from Yunyao herself rather than having her suggest it.

　　As expected, the Azure Dragon had an expression as if he wanted to say something but he did not dare to do so. His expression was tangled up and his whole face showed disagreement.

　　“Good!”

　　Just as Yunyao began to feel uneasy, Gu Ruoyun finally opened her mouth and spoke, “With that look on your face, I’ll give him one more chance.”

　　When that was said, her look was as unwilling as the Azure Dragon’s. It was as if she had grudgingly been persuaded by Yunyao’s promise instead.

　　On the side, Shopkeeper Zhao could not help but twitch the corners of his mouth. With a few years of interaction, he had already understood Gu Ruoyun’s behavior. This fellow had very obviously eyed the Azure Dragon since the beginning but instead, now she had an unwilling look on her face as if taking Azure Dragon in would be a huge regret…

　　Tianqiong had been forced into this despite being a world famous Divine Beast! Yet now, this mere human was showing a great unwillingness to his face, it was an indignity that any spiritual beast would feel unhappy about.

　　“Xiao Yun’er, you have me. Isn’t that enough?” Qianbei Yi said with disdain, “I can do anything and I can protect you so why don’t you let me slaughter this dragon? I think that it’ll still be more reliable to eat him and increase your powers instead.”

　　He could not tolerate those who had attempted to harm Gu Ruoyun to appear by her side. If he had not secretly followed her, maybe this young woman would have left him forever. With this thought, Qianbei Ye’s heart tightened abruptly and left him worrying painfully.

　　How was it that Gu Ruoyun could not know what Qianbei Ye was thinking? Her heart softened as she patted Qianbei Ye’s shoulders and said, “Xiao Ye, no matter what, Yunyao is my contracted spiritual beast. I can choose not to care about her emotions. After all, this issue is the Azure Dragon’s wrongdoing and I’m only interested in the person behind the scene.”

　　She thought about it and laughed lightly before her attention shifted towards Elder Liu, who was looking sluggish, “Before this ends, there is still one more thing to take care of.”

　　Elder Liu came back to his senses and became alert once again. He looked at the young woman who was smiling gently and his heart could not help but quake with fear. He fiercely held this back and gritted his teeth, “Gu Rouyun, if you want to kill me, then you should prepare well for someone who has killed countless expert cultivators! Furthermore, I can see that Azure Dragon was only as loud as thunder but actually his powers were as small as a raindrop! Even more so now, when the thunder is gone. Initially, I had also assumed that the silver-haired man beside you had very strong abilities. Though now that I’ve seen the Azure Dragon’s real level of power, my feelings were obviously misguided. He’s only some Martial Emperor and is more or less the same as me. Regarding why I cannot sense his energy, maybe he has on him some power concealing treasure? Hence, what do you have that could defend against so many Martial King expert cultivators?”

　　Yunyao was now fuming. All of this had happened because this old bugger got into trouble! If it wasn’t for him and that person behind the scenes, her Master would not have almost been killed by Tianqiong accidentally.
