Evil Emperor's Wild Consort - chapter-700

“Sect Master?”

The Honorable Sir Tianqi was stunned as he stopped whatever he was doing
and wiped the sweat from his brow. He frowned and mumbled to himself,
“What does the Sect Master want with us? Forget it, We’ll stop the pill
refining for now. Let’s go and find out what he wants, little girl.”

Gu Ruoyun nodded and followed the Honorable Sir Tianqi out the door.

The meeting room was filled with people.

Once Gu Ruoyun and the Honorable Sir Tianqi entered the meeting room, the
elders present began to discuss amongst themselves fervently as they
looked at Gu Ruoyun with eyes full of curiosity and excitement. If the
Sect Master had not been in attendance as well, some elders would
probably have rushed forward to strike up a friendship with her.

“I’ve called you both here to discuss one thing.” The aloof and remote
Sect Master lowered his head and stared down at Gu Ruoyun. He spoke
coolly, “Lady Gu, are you willing to join the Spirit Sect? As long as you
agree, I will give you the position of the Chief Pill Master. I can also
make your position higher than everyone else, you can be second only to
me.”

While the Sect Master’s words were structured as if he was merely asking
Gu Ruoyun’s opinion, his tone of voice was extremely uncomfortable.
Hence, the Honorable Sir Tianqi immediately looked very nervous. He knew
this little girl’s temperament better than anyone else. Making her second
only to one person? That was definitely impossible!

She would never agree to serve anyone!

“Sorry, but I’ll have to refuse.”

The woman in green calmly replied. Her tone of voice was like a calm
breeze and was as still as the water in a lake.

Instantly, the entire meeting room was silenced.

Every elder stared at Gu Ruoyun in shock. She had just been offered a
position higher than everyone else, second only to the Sect Master. This
was a position of great honor and yet she has refused?

The Sect Master was clearly unhappy. He furrowed his brows and exclaimed,
“Lady Gu, I know that you’re extremely talented. With your achievements,
breaking through to a high-level Martial Honor is something that will
come sooner or later. Perhaps you’ll even break through to the rank above
a Martial Honor!”

What was the rank above a Martial Honor? It was a Martial Supreme, of
course!

In the West Spirit Mainland, such an individual has yet to appear!

After so many years, the Sect Master has met a lot of geniuses but he has
not been able to determine whether any of them could break through to
become a Martial Supreme!

She was the only exception!

“Nevertheless…” The Sect Master’s tone of voice changed momentarily
before he continued to speak, “You should know very well that the
Immortal Realm harbors a deep, passionate hatred towards you! The
Immortal Master of the Immortal Realm is a high-level Martial Honor just
like me. I know that you’re currently a low-level Martial Honor but your
power is not just a small step away from a high-level Martial Honor. If
you join the Spirit Sect, he would never dare to lay a single finger on
you.”

Gu Ruoyun smiled. While her smile was casual and breezy, her eyes were
clear and cold.

“My apologies, I can take care of my grudge against the Immortal Realm on
my own. There’s no need for you to trouble yourself, Sect Master.”

“You…”

Seeing that Gu Ruoyun still rejected him despite his words, the Sect
Master could not help but feel angry as well. His handsome face was now
frosted with an icy chill, “On account of the fact that you are
Shengxiao’s little sister, I won’t be calculative over your lack of
courtesy. Gu Ruoyun, are you truly rejecting my offer in joining the
Spirit Sect?”

“Sect Master!”

The Honorable Sir Tianqi’s expression changed as well and he retorted
resentfully, “This little girl is only a twenty-year-old kid, there’s no
need for you to force her to choose. Everyone has the right to choose.
Since the Gu girl has chosen not to join the Spirit Sect, then we cannot
force her. Isn’t that right?”

The Sect Master’s face gradually sank. He never anticipated that the
Honorable Sir Tianqi would dare to speak to him in this way. He was just
about to fly into a rage when a serene and clear voice brushed towards
him like the wind. It landed on his heart like a heavy fist.

“Sect Master, I’ve told you that I’m not willing to join the Spirit Sect.
Neither am I willing to commit myself in any way! However, don’t forget.
Gu Shengxiao is my older brother and the Honorable Sir Tianqi is my great
uncle. I won’t do anything to harm the Spirit Sect! Furthermore, trust
me, if I wish to leave, no one can stop me.”
