The two guards quickly checked the portrait in their hands once Gu Ruoyun appeared . They looked at each other before turning their gaze towards Gu Ruoyun .
"Miss, our elder wishes to see you . "
Elder?
Gu Ruoyun frowned as she asked, "What does your elder want with me?"
"This isn't something that we know . If you want to know the reason, come with us to meet our elder!" The guard sighed with relief . They never thought that they would find the woman in the portrait after so many days of inspection .
This way, they could give their elder an explanation .
"Lead the way . "
Gu Ruoyun thought for a moment before she agreed to see the elder of Wind Valley .
She wants to find out why the elder of Wind Valley wishes to see her!
One of the guards made a welcoming gesture and led the way . The other guard had stayed behind to watch the gate .
At Wind City .
An old man sipped his tea as he sat in front of a table in a guest house's room . When the room's door was pushed open, his brows moved a little and he turned his gaze towards Gu Ruoyun who had followed the guard into the room .
"Lady Gu, I've been waiting for you . "
The old man mildly curled the corners of his lips and smiled at Gu Ruoyun who had just entered the room .
Gu Ruoyun's expression slowly sank as she looked at the old man in front of her and asked, "How did you know that I would be here?"
"Hehe," the old man chuckled . "Actually, I've sent men with your picture to many places other than Wind City to look for you . I never thought that I'd actually find you . Lady Gu, I've asked you to come here because I wish to discuss something with you . "
"What is it?"
Gu Ruoyun furrowed her brows and asked .
"Wind Valley has taken an interest in your talents so we'd like to invite you to join Wind Valley . What do you think, Lady Gu?"
"Apologies . " Gu Ruoyun smiled faintly but her eyes remained just as clear and cold as ever . "I've already rejected your offer back at the Medicine Sect! My answer remains the same, I won't join Wind Valley 1 so you better give up . "
Elder Bai's eyes sharpened as a near-undetectable light flashed through his eyes . The corners of his lips had remained fixed in a smile . "Lady Gu, think about it . Joining Wind Valley will only bring you benefits and no disadvantages! Besides, you're aware of Wind Valley's prestige . As long as you're willing to pledge your allegiance to Wind Valley, we can give you a position where no one else is above you but our Master . Furthermore, no one would have the courage to touch you in the First City . "
He paused before he continued to speak, "Furthermore, Lady Gu, your powers are at the level of an early-stage Martial Saint and there're countless powerful cultivators in the First City . You can imagine the dangers that you will face . If you agree to join Wind Valley, I assure you that no one would dare to cause trouble for you . My Lady has always appreciated talented individuals so she won't treat you unkindly . "
There was an indifferent smile on Gu Ruoyun's face . Her gaze remained clear and cold as she exclaimed, "I enjoy my freedom and I don't want to be restricted . I appreciate the Eldest Lady of Wind Valley's kind offer but I must turn it down once again!"
"Lady Gu . " Elder Bai's eyes sank . He slowly steadied his emotions and replied with a small smile . "You should stop rejecting Wind Valley's offer . I'll give you one more chance to think it over . Besides, I can assure you that Wind Valley won't restrict your freedom . You only need to supply Wind Valley with pills on a regular basis and that would be enough . Wind Valley will help you to take care of everything else . The freedom that you want? Wind Valley can give it to you . "
