"What are you all standing around for? Get that little b*stard!"
By the looks of it, that guard was the leader of the group . He bellowed his order with a blackened face .
The group of guards seemed to regain their senses and immediately charged towards Ye Nuo .
Even though Ye Nuo's powers were above average despite his young age, this group of guards could not be considered as weaklings either . With so many people charging towards him, Ye Nuo jumped with fright .
Just as he was slipping into a daze, a hand reached out from behind him followed by the girl's clear, cool voice . The guards charging towards him were blown away by a forceful wind and flew out of the way with a loud crash .
"There are so many of you yet you're bullying a ten-year-old child . This doesn't look too good on you, does it?"
The girl, dressed in green robes, stood tall in front of Ye Nuo and shielded him from view like a proud bamboo tree .
Her expression was calm as her clear gaze watched the fallen guards .
"Bodyguard Gu, you're the best!"
Ye Nuo jumped for joy and his face was flushed pink in an adorable manner . He even remembered to pull a face behind Gu Ruoyun and sniggered, "Insult me if you dare . Step up and fight against my Bodyguard Gu if you think you can! Bodyguard Gu, beat them to death, give them all you've got!"
The guards' faces turned into a plethora of ugly colors .
They had not even managed to see that woman's attack!
This means that this woman's level of strength far surpassed their own .
Didn't Elder Er say that she was just a common beggar? They wondered . How could a beggar possess such strong abilities?
"You, report this Elder Er quickly . "
The guard who had spewed insults at Ye Nuo spoke up .
One of the guards immediately hurried off . He ran as if his life depended on it .
"Ye Nuo, let's go . "
Gu Ruoyun lightly raised her head and spoke with a calm voice .
Ye Nuo said nothing else and followed Gu Ruoyun as she left, sticking very closely by her side . He puffed his chest and walked arrogantly out the door .
No other guards dared to stop them, allowing them to leave the room without further incident .
In the courtyard, the leaves of the willow trees cast a desolate air . A fresh breeze could be felt, like the gentle caress of a mother's soft hand .
Gu Ruoyun and Ye Nuo have only just emerged from their room when a loud voice bellowed from a close distance ahead . The sound of it sent tremors across the entire courtyard .
"Little girl, you've got some nerve . You've dared to put your hands on the members of the Murong household! Didn't your parents ever teach you how to behave as a guest in one's house? Have you never learned proper etiquette?"
An elderly figure descended before them out of thin air . His elderly features were as cold as ice as he shot a cold glare towards Gu Ruoyun .
Gu Ruoyun paused in her steps and stared expressionlessly back at the elder before her . She replied curtly, "My mother had only ever taught me this: 'When a guest arrives at your home, you must treat them with courtesy and politeness' . She certainly did not teach me to treat my guests like beggars and sweep them out the front door . Could this be a family etiquette exclusive to the Murong family?"
Elder Er furrowed his brows and thought that the lady in green, who had pure, delicate and pretty features, looked nothing like a beggar .
However, Rou'er had said that she was a beggar so that information can't be false .
Rou'er, that intelligent and kind woman, could not possibly manipulate him into doing such a thing .
"Hmph!"
Elder Er scoffed icily at the thought and replied arrogantly, "You're absolutely right, little girl . One should definitely treat one's guests with courtesy and politeness . But were you actually a guest of the Murong family? We elders never formally approved your presence here . The Eldest Lady had not sent you an invitation so could you really be considered as a guest of the Murong family?"
