In the compound, the atmosphere was especially disheartening – Qianbei Ye’s exceptional features were sorrowful, and the way he looked was just as if he got humiliated.

　　“Xiao Yun, he touched your head just now. Can I touch it too?”

　　Gu Ruoyun was dazed, “Are you having a fever?”

　　Qianbei Ye was very dejected, “Why can he touch you but I can’t?”

　　“Xiao Ye, any more of this nonsense from you and I’m going to be mad.” Gu Ruoyun grimaced purposely and said a little fiercely, “Since you’ve chosen to follow me, then you should obey me; got it?”

　　Qianbei Ye panicked a little when he heard her say that and responded carefully, “I won’t do that again. I’ll be good and obedient. Xiao Yun, please don’t be mad at me and chase me away. Is that okay?”

　　Gu Ruoyun softened when she saw how careful the man was, “Sure, I’m not mad anymore. Let’s go.”

　　“You’re the best, Xiao Yun.”

　　Qianbei Ye smiled. To say that that the smile could topple countries and ruin cities was not the perfect explanation, but it was as though fireworks had lit up around him, an unsurpassed beauty of that generation.

　　For a while, Gu Ruoyun lost her train of thoughts. She never thought that a man could smile so beautifully; so beautiful that it could suffocate others, like he was the best highlight of both heaven and earth and everyone else around him were just accessories to compliment him.

　　Of course, the agreement before was that he does not speak at all…

　　If he does and with just one word, people’s illusions of him would just vanish.

　　“Xiao Yun, I don’t want to sleep by myself. I’m afraid of the dark, can I sleep with you?”

　　“…”

　　“Xiao Yun, why is your body different than mine? What are those two humps on your chest? Can I touch it?”

　　“…”

　　If Gu Ruoyun did not consider that seal in the man’s mind, she would definitely suspect that this fellow was faking it to take advantage of her!

　　What kind of questions were those? He was obviously teasing her!

　　Gu Ruoyun took a deep breath so that she could suppress the urge to throw him out.

　　“If you don’t shut up, get out!”

　　…

　　Meantime, in the Gu family’s entrance hall, old man Gu smashed everything he could get from the table onto the floor. His face was so cloudy that water dripped down from it, even the favored child, Gu Panpan could only stand by the side and dared not make a peep.

　　“Gu Ruoyun! Good! You couldn’t be better!”

　　Master Gu sneered, “You’re actually this outrageous! Certainly, it’s because of the early death of your parents that no one taught you, or else why would our Gu family produce such a disappointing bane of existence? If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have had Tian Er marry that unknown woman! And a bastard like her wouldn’t have been born!”

　　Back then, his son, Gu Tian was the genius of the land. He was refined, elegant and he even shocked the world by becoming the Martial King at a young age. He was his entire hope. If it wasn’t for his passing, how would the Gu family have fallen to this stage? If he had not died, maybe the Gu family would have gone out of the Azure Dragon Country and became equals with the powers similar to the Weapon Refining Sect.

　　“It is indeed that every capable man has a good woman behind his back, not someone who would burden him! If Tian Er hadn’t married the unknown woman, he wouldn’t have ended up like that. We couldn’t even find his dead body!”

　　It was obvious that Master Gu did not mourn the death of his son but rather, he felt sorry that the Gu family lost a genius like him.

　　However, since the beginning, the old man did not know the true identity of Gu Ruoyun’s mother. The reason her mother hid her identity when she married Gu Tian that year was that the Dongfang family had already investigated thoroughly about everything there was about the Gu family. With the character of old man Gu and if Dongfang Yu had been hell-bent on it, they would have definitely cut ties!
