Good-For-Nothing (3)

"Apologise?" Gu Ruoyun snorted. "Pray tell, did some water enter your brain? Didn't I beat the Ling’s family Young Master? Don’t forget, I’m only a level two Qi collection good-for-nothing! The Young Master of the Ling family’s power has already reached level five. How was I supposed to beat him up? If you fought with Azure Dragon Country’s champion and someone said that you had hit the Azure Dragon Country’s champion, would you have believed it?"

Old General Gu turned ghastly pale. Pa! His palm struck the table and he yelled, "You evil creature! You even dare defy your grandfather’s order! If the Ling family says that it’s your fault, then you must’ve been the one who provoked him! Kneel down now until they have forgiven you!"

"Haha!" Gu Ruoyun laughed loudly. A scornful arc emanated from the edge of her lips. "Clearly it was him who was jealous of Big Brother’s talents and insulted him first. Now I’m the one who provoked him? It seems that not only did water enter your brain but your eyes as well. You’re saying that the unscathed Young Master of the Ling family is the one who was bullied? Whereas the heavily injured me was the one who hit him? Grandpa, you’re certainly one to back outsiders instead of the truth."

Old General Gu was stunned. He had already forgotten his anger and stared dumbfoundedly at Gu Ruoyun.

Was this…Was this his timid granddaughter? Since when did she become so organized and clear in her speech?

"Who exactly are you?"

Suddenly, Old General Gu’s eyes darkened, a killing intent instantly filling the entire living room.

Even with Gu Ruoyun’s weak abilities, if she utilized her Spiritual Force, she would’ve been able to withstand this killing intent. However, if she had done that, she would have exposed herself so she did not take the risk. Instead, she let herself be washed over by the killing intent.

"What, do you want to kill me?" Gu Ruoyun lifted her pale face and jeered, "You have already killed me with a stick once. If it weren’t for my stubborn will to live, I wouldn’t have survived that. If you want to kill me now, then so be it! I just don’t know how you’re going to explain it to Big Brother once he comes back."

Old General Gu squinted his eyes slightly.

Actually, he had regretted killing Gu Ruoyun with the stick. Even if Gu Ruoyun was a good-for-nothing, she still had an elder brother who would cover for her. If it weren’t for Gu Ruoyun’s stubbornness to confess, he wouldn’t have acted out of anger...

Thankfully this good-for-nothing had only stopped breathing momentarily and her heartbeat was restored quickly.

But how would Old General Gu have known that in that short span of time, the soul residing in this body had been swapped...

"Hng, if you are Gu Ruoyun, then I really have to explain to Shengxiao. Alas, you’re not!" Old General Gu bellowed, "Who exactly are you? That timid good-for-nothing Gu Ruoyun would never say these kinds of things!"

Suddenly, all eyes in the room were fixed on Gu Ruoyun’s delicate face.

Gu Ruoyun did not seem to notice and smiled. "Whether I Gu Ruoyun or not, shouldn’t you be the one who knows? All these years, I have acted timidly all for the sake of some peace and quiet. But after this incident, I have decided. Even if I’m a good-for-nothing, I would be timid no more! The more timid I am, the more you guys will bully me!"

Everybody was struck by a sudden realization when they heard this.

No wonder this good-for-nothing would have the courage. She had been acting all along. That made perfect sense...

Bang!

Ling Yi pounded the table and jumped to his feet. He said coldly, "Gu Ruoyun, this old man has been a natural born protector of the weak. I don’t care if you are right or wrong, you must kneel and beg for forgiveness today! If not, I don’t care if you have a prodigy as a big brother, I will let you die here!!!"

Gu Ruoyun glanced at Ling Yi’s furious face and smiled. "You want to pick on me, your junior? Aren’t you worried that the entire Azure Dragon Country would say that you are picking on the weak?"

"Then, what do you want?"

"How about this? Let your grandson have a duel with me!"
