Chapter 1814 Yan Xu
After staying at the Gu family's house for two days, Ruan Yu simply couldn't sit still any longer.
She found the six elders who were always by her side and explained her purpose to them.
After listening, the elders had different expressions: "No wonder you asked us about the Celestial Spirit Clan before, it turns out you've encountered such a troublesome problem."
"We have never heard of black energy that can turn people into bloodthirsty monsters."
"Young friend, where is the giant race you speak of?"
Ruan Yu did not want to reveal the location of the Giant Realm for the time being, as the Gu family alone could not deal with the Corpse King inside.
It's not too late to go together once all the major factions have gathered.
"The most urgent task is to gather high-level experts from other forces to suppress the Corpse King together," Ruan Yu said.
The elders nodded repeatedly: "That makes sense."
"Our Gu family still has a voice in the Ancient Road Continent."
"The grand competition between aristocratic families is in three days. Why not take this opportunity to announce this matter?"
Three days?
Ruan Yu nodded in agreement.
The Corpse King's intelligence isn't that high yet. With Xu Lian constantly appearing and disappearing unpredictably to delay him, coupled with the arrays she's set up, leaving the Giant Realm won't be an easy task.
After the discussion concluded, the elders departed.
When Ruan Yu was about to leave, the Grand Elder kept her behind alone.
"Young friend, I have a favor to ask."
"Elder, please speak freely."
"Well... as you can see, the Gu family is so large, but we only have a few elders. If you don't mind, young friend, you can become a nominal elder in our Gu family."
As a nominal elder, she receives the same treatment as other elders and can enjoy many privileges, but she is not required to work for the Gu family.
It can be said to be entirely beneficial with no drawbacks.
Ruan Yu naturally understood why the Grand Elder wanted to win her over; it was most likely because he valued her strength. He hoped that if the Gu family encountered trouble in the future, she could lend a helping hand.
Even if she doesn't become a nominal elder of the Gu family, Ruan Yu will still lend a helping hand.
However, Ruan Yu was quite happy to be a nominal elder and receive some benefits.
"Okay." Ruan Yu agreed without hesitation.
The elder beamed and took out the token and spatial ring that he had prepared beforehand: "This is the elder's token."
The space inside the spatial ring is a full tens of thousands of square meters.
It contains many treasures, showing the sincerity of the company.
After leaving the Elders' Pavilion, Ruan Yu went straight to her room and slipped into her spatial dimension.
The spiritual plants and divine herbs in the medicinal field sprouted new growth after new generation. Ruan Yu was running low on pills, so with a thought, she uprooted all the mature spiritual herbs.
sunset.
A full moon climbs onto the treetop.
As usual, Ying came to find Ruan Yu.
He knew she was a cultivation fanatic, so he collected many secret manuals and techniques that greatly enhanced combat power.
However, Ruan Yu was not found; the door was tightly closed, and she was not inside.
Has she left the Gu family? Or is she deliberately avoiding him?
Ying returned to the courtyard she had bought, feeling utterly dejected.
Mei had been waiting for a long time. "Oh? Why do you have that expression? Who bullied you?"
Her tone was full of teasing: "No way? Our Lord Ying is a top-tier expert at the half-step God level. Could it be... that he's suffering from heartbreak?"
"You're courting death." Shadow unleashed a series of unpredictable black divine powers, gripping Mei's neck and limbs tightly, pinning her to the wall.
"Let me go!" Mei struggled to no avail, and became furious: "I was just joking with you, is it really necessary to get so angry? Or did I hit a nerve?"
Mei felt she had figured out the truth: "Who have you fallen in love with?"
"What's it to you?" Ying didn't even glance at Mei before walking into the house and closing the door tightly.
At the same time, the isolation talisman was activated to set up a restriction.
The world is quiet.
Inside the courtyard, Mei Qi trembled all over: "Ying, let me go!"
She struggled desperately, but the more she moved, the tighter the shackles binding her tightened. Gradually, she began to suffocate.
Mei was filled with regret. She shouldn't have come looking for Ying! Not only did she get a cold shoulder, but she also made herself look so pathetic!
However... this trip wasn't entirely fruitless. At least she learned that Ying had someone she cared about in this world, and that person was a woman.
When there are concerns in one's heart, there will be flaws.
Perhaps, this time she can finally get rid of the Shadow!
Mei was making plans in her mind, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Ruan Yu refined many kinds of pills. The Gu family treated her sincerely, and she reciprocated with the same sincerity. She gave half of the refined pills to the Grand Elder.
The elder accepted the gift with a sense of flattery, but did not open it immediately.
If he were to open it on the spot, he would probably faint from excitement.
The sparring match was about to begin. Gu Xing led Ruan Yu to sit in the seats for the younger generation: "Master, if I lose, can you get revenge for me?"
Ruan Yu: "No."
She is now a nominal elder of the Gu family, and the sparring is between the younger generation.
If she were to take the stage, wouldn't things fall apart?
Gu Xing was unaware that she had become a nominal elder, and pouted aggrievedly, saying, "Master, even you won't help me."
"Alas, among the families that have come this time are the Yuan family, the Yan family, the Gu Su family, and our Gu family. The Yuan family excels in formations, the Yan family is skilled in talisman drawing, and the Gu Su family has the bloodline of summoners! In a one-on-one fight, our Gu family really has no advantage!"
In previous years, with Gu Tian participating, the Gu family wouldn't have suffered such a humiliating defeat.
This year……
Gu Xing was devastated; he didn't want to be ridiculed by everyone!
Ruan Yu was both amused and exasperated: "Others have skills to rely on, but don't you have them too?"
"What do I have? Oh right! I learned from my master...!" Gu Xing became excited instantly.
"In a battle, winning is all that matters. In the arena, you don't have to wait for your opponent to finish setting up the formation or drawing the talisman before you make your move."
"Oh my god! Master, are you teaching me to be a scoundrel?!"
Ruan Yu was speechless: "This is called 'all's fair in war'!"
When it really comes down to a life-or-death struggle, the enemy won't wait for you to be fully prepared before making a move.
Gu Xing understood this principle deeply, and looked at Ruan Yu with solemn respect: "I understand, Master. I will beat them until they run away with their tails between their legs!"
The next second, his tone softened again: "But Master, what you taught me... is, after all, something from the Martial Arts Continent. If I use it directly, won't it cause you trouble?"
Ruan Yu disagreed: "If you learned it through your own ability, just use it."
Even if people from the Martial Arts Continent came looking for her, she wouldn't panic.
It's not like she learned it by stealing.
Moreover, she didn't even know what the Martial Arts Continent looked like!
With Ruan Yu's words, Gu Xing was finally relieved. "Master, just you wait and see! Your disciple will definitely make you proud!"
As the sun rose higher in the sky, the members of all the major families gradually arrived.
The atmosphere at the scene was electric.
"Yan Xu! What are you doing here?" A fiery red figure walked over from another seat, and Gu Xing immediately felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
"I didn't come here to see you."
The newcomer had a head of flamboyant red hair and an unruly smile on his lips.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
