Chapter 561: Buying the Mountain Top (1)_1

Yang Ruxin was unaware that her adoptive father had reached some sort of agreement with her white lotus of a cousin, but in reality, even if she had known, she wouldn't have cared. She had always faced challenges head-on, like a soldier blocking the oncoming enemy or like soil stopping water's flow.

Now, she had begun to truly busy herself. After listening to the conversation between Gu Qingheng and Gu Yao, she suddenly felt an urge, an urge to become strong as quickly as possible. Only by becoming truly strong could she protect herself and her family, and only then would she have the confidence she needed.

She was well aware that she was currently just facing a group of frustrated villagers. Her fierce and fearless attitude could intimidate them, but were she to encounter someone truly formidable, her abilities would be insufficient.

Of course, there was another reason. Only if she was strong enough could she stand confidently beside Gu Qingheng.
