Dong Fang and the others followed her gaze and turned around . They instantly laid eyes upon a familiar figure .
Su Lin?
No, that's not right! The aura on her body is different!
Previously, Su Lin had given off an unruly and headstrong aura . She did not have the least bit of intelligence or control . However, when Su Lin appeared this time, they felt as though the temperature in the place has gone down . Even from afar, one could sense the eerily cold aura from her being .
It was as if she has turned into a completely different person!
Su Lin clearly noticed their stares as well and turned towards Gu Ruoyun and the others . However, her eyes did not carry her usual provocative and arrogant air . Instead, her expression was sinister and cold! It was as if she has just climbed out from hell, her entire being gave off a chilly and menacing air .
"If my guess is correct, Su Lin must have trained in some sort of martial arts . Not only has her aura changed, but even her powers have also increased substantially . " Gu Ruoyun thought for a moment before she slowly spoke up .
When the Underworld's Left Protector had suggested three days' time, Gu Ruoyun had already guessed her ploy . The Left Protector would need three days to raise Su Lin's power! However, she never thought that these people would resort to these methods to raise Su Lin's power!
"Lady Gu, did you say that Su Lin has trained in a martial arts technique in three days? What kind of martial arts did she do to enable her to raise her power in such a short time? How could there possibly be such a great change in just three days?" Dong Fang's entire face was filled with shock, clearly feeling that there was something freakish about this .
Gu Ruoyun smiled faintly . "There are many types of martial arts techiniques in this world . There are some techniques which could raise one's power quickly in three days! However, you must all understand one thing, one can also bite off more than one can chew! The faster one rises in power, the greater the price! If my guess is correct, for the sake of raising her power so rapidly, Su Lin would not be able to live on for very long . "
"What?"
Forget about Dong Fang and the others, even the Young Master of the General's Mansion, Li Qing, could not help but turn towards Gu Ruoyun . His eyes were filled with shock .
"You say that Su Lin won't be able to live much longer? How can that be? A person like Su Lin wouldn't possibly give up her own life for the sake of a competition . Even if she views you with enmity, she would never do such a thing!" Li Qing fell silent after his exclamation .
Based on his understanding of Su Lin, this woman has always been craven and cowardly . Even if she wants to kill Gu Ruoyun, she would never use her own life to pay this kind of a price!
"What about if Su Lin was unaware of the price she has to pay?" Gu Ruoyun looked at Li Qing . "What if they had baited her and claimed to be able to help her raise her power in a few days but did not inform her of the cost?"
Li Qing was shocked . This time, he agreed with Gu Ruoyun's words .
Knowing the way Su Lin thinks, she would certainly end up being fooled very easily . Hence, perhaps it was as Gu Ruoyun had said, someone had only raised her power but did not tell her the consequences!
"Lady Gu, how certain are you that you would be able to defeat Su Lin?" Li Qing felt deeply worried . Honestly speaking, even though his father was also an officer of the Heavenly Moon Empire, he had hoped that Gu Ruoyun would be able to win this competition from the bottom of his heart . . .
Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun turned away and calmly replied, "I must have the Moon Soul Herb!"
Which meant that she must be victorious in this competition!
Only with the Moon Soul Herb would she be able to free Gu Shengxiao from his shackles and help him to become a normal human being! Hence, she would not allow any carelessness to happen in this competition!
