He had thought that this task could be easily taken care of. After all, there were not many chances like this to leave behind a good legacy for an eternity, and she should have accepted this offer right off the bat. Why in the world would anyone not want to sacrifice for the sake of this land? Not only was this woman a good-for-nothing piece of garbage, she was also an idiot!
“I had initially thought that everyone in this world was just like the Weapon Refining Sect, not tremble in the face of death. However, I had not expected that there were so many selfish and cowardly people. Forget it then, since you are all this weak. I will not force you all! Hopefully, all of you will not regret this in the future!”
Hun Fei glanced at Gu Ruoyun’s delicate face from the side, that look of disdain that flashed across his face was as if she was the biggest embarrassment of this continent.
This time, even without waiting for Gu Ruoyun’s reply, General Luo’s stormed in an insulting voice, “This is truly an eye-opening experience for me today. The much-dignified Weapon Refining Sect are all for their own selfish agendas, and actually wants a young girl to sacrifice her life for you all! How dare you speak of it with such righteousness! Can you be any more outrageous and shameless?”
Even if the Weapon Refining Sect had skin thicker than the city walls, no one ever had the guts to say this straight into the face of the people of the Weapon Refining Sect. Hence, when he heard General Luo’s reply, Hun Fei’s face immediately turned ashen.
“Luo Hongtian, we will meet again!”
With that said, Hun Fei huffed and stormed off with a wave of his cuff.
“These people form the Weapon Refining Sect are going overboard with all these nonsense,” Luo Hongtian observed Hun Fei’s silhouette and frowned, “Nonetheless, now that we have crossed the Weapon Refining Sect, there is bound to be trouble ahead. Luckily there are still the three main sanctions to stifle them, and he will not dare to cause trouble to my household in the open.”
Without realizing it, there was cold sweat all over Luo Hongtian’s back. It was evident that Hun Fei had given him a considerable amount of pressure.
“Little girl Gu, I am afraid that you will face some problems in the future,” Luo Hongtian turned and looked at Gu Ruoyun with a solemn expression, and said, “Do not appear at places with fewer people in the future, or else the Weapon Refining Sect will definitely take this opportunity to assassinate you. If you were at a more crowded space, they would not dare to make a move.”
Gu Ruoyun lifted her eyebrows slightly and smiled as she said, “Do not worry, I am aware of this. Oh yes, the reason I came here is to have General Luo to help me out with something.”
“Oh? What is it?” Luo Hongtian looked at Gu Ruoyun in surprise. He had thought that this young maiden was here for Yin Er, but judging from the current situation, it seemed as though she was looking for him…
Gu Ruoyun’s eyes shone, and with a suppressed smile she requested, “I need weapons! Hundreds of them. I need these weapons to be forged within a short period of time, and only General Luo you can pull this off!”
It was publicly known that General Luo owned a smiting workshop that specialized in forging weapons to cater to the imperial army. This was also the main reason for Gu Ruoyun’s visit today…
Luo Hongtian’s eyes darkened slightly, “What do you need it for?”
Even if he really liked this young girl, why would she need a large amount of weapons forged? As the general who takes pride in protecting his country, he would absolutely not allow for anyone to harm the Azure Dragon Country.
“Just relax, I am not interested in the Azure Dragon Country,” Gu Ruoyun obviously knew what Luo Hongtian was thinking deep in his heart. She chuckled softly, “Besides, I am the fairer sex, what use can the throne be of to me? More importantly, for me, the power of the throne does not captivate me at all. I need the kind of power that is above the imperial power, the kind of power that is comparable to that of the three main sanctions!”
In that very moment, a domineering air radiated strongly from the young lady’s body. Luo Hongtian’s eyes blurred. It was as though he was seeing the same commanding legendary man from over a decade ago…
