“Elder Hun Fei.” Gu Panpan bit her lip and glanced at Gu Ruoyun, then back at Hun Fei. “It’s a bit hard for me to say, but everyone in Azure Dragon Country knows this. After having reached level two in the Qi Collection ranks, Gu Ruoyun, of my family, has not been able to have her breakthrough. So, I’m afraid that she cannot enter the Heavenly Spirit Formation now.”

As she explained, Gu Panpan’s face filled with sympathy, as if she truly pitied Gu Ruoyun. No one could make out any other expression on her face.

“Oh?” Hun Fei followed Gu Panpan’s gaze towards Gu Ruoyun’s leisurely and contented face. “She’s Gu Ruoyun? Gu Shengxiao’s little sister? She doesn’t seem to be a child anymore. How could she be a level two in the Qi Collection ranks? How could such a genius like Gu Shengxiao possibly have a good-for-nothing for a sister? This is certainly an eye-opener.”

Many years ago, Gu Shengxiao had rejected his offer of apprenticeship. This had humiliated him endlessly! So, naturally, he would not show Gu Ruoyun any courtesy.

“Elder, everyone in Azure Dragon Country knows this. I quite pity her myself, but she is extremely determined, so I don’t have much of a choice.” Gu Panpan looked extremely helpless like a mother who resented her child for not living up to expectations.

“Gu Panpan, you…”

Luo Yin clenched her fists angrily. Just as she was about to throw her fists out, a hand reached out and held her hand tightly.

The corners of Gu Ruoyun’s lips lifted into a smile, her beautiful face lighting up in an enigmatic way. “Gu Panpan, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but as of last night, I’ve broken through to level three in the Qi Collection ranks.”

Her voice was calm like the wind, yet traveled clearly into every ear present.

Just then, Gu Panpan’s expression stiffened, as if she had been given a tight slap. She wished to find a hole and bury herself in it.

If this were any other day where Gu Ruoyun had broken through to level three, she could still scoff and laugh at her. However, since she had just announced that Gu Ruoyun was merely at level two in the Qi Collection ranks, and consequently, would be unable to enter the Heavenly Spirit Formation, she was humiliated on the spot. It was like a slap in the face.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Panpan laughed. “Then, I should congratulate you. It’s taken years for you to finally break through to level three. But who knows how long you’ll have to wait until your next breakthrough? I’m certain that in about ten years, you’ll definitely reach level four.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely have my breakthrough before you die.”

Pfft!

Luo Yin could not contain herself. She burst out laughing and patted Gu Ruoyun’s shoulders. “Ruoyun, do you mean to say that once you break through to level four, her death day will not be very far off? Then, Gu Panpan should probably watch herself. Once Ruoyun has her breakthrough, you’d better hide somewhere or you might mysteriously expire. Tsk tsk, wouldn’t it be a pity for such an exquisitely beautiful face to die off so soon?”

Gu Panpan’s face turned from green to white, it was a spectacular sight. However, Gu Ruoyun was beginning to admire her tolerance level. She was actually able to maintain her composure without flipping out after suffering such humiliation from Luo Yin.

“Gu Ruoyun, you’d better watch your mouth!” General Gu’s face sunk as he exclaimed harshly, “And General Luo, is this how you’ve educated your daughter? She has nothing to show for her upbringing at all!”

“Upbringing?” General Luo scoffed, “At least, I didn’t beat my own granddaughter until she nearly died without clarifying the truth of the matter. I’m way ahead of you, old man.”

To be honest, General Luo simply couldn’t understand it.

“Gu Ruoyun was still the flesh and blood of the Gu Family,” he thought, “Yet, this old man recklessly issued her a beating, and all for the sake of that boy from the Ling Family? He nearly beat her to death! Is this how a grandfather should behave?”
