Li Ying disagreed and scoffed coldly, “How about this, Cui Rong, give Que’er to me. If that lady comes looking for you, just mention the Li family of Cloud Town’s name. I believe that she would know what to do.”
This does not necessarily mean that Li Ying looks down upon Gu Ruoyun. In general, most cultivators are quite picky about their disciples.
Que’er’s talents were truly substantial. However, to people at their rank, why would Gu Ruoyun even notice Que’er if her power was really that great?
It was also from this point of view that Li Ying believes that Gu Ruoyun’s power was not much to speak of.
Cui Rong opened her mouth to speak but at that moment, a chilly voice chimed in from outside the thatched house.
“Apologies, I really don’t know what I should do. May I ask if you could explain things to me?”
Li Ying was surprised. He then frowned as he slowly turned around to look at the elegant woman who had stepped into the thatched house. His eyes flashed, obviously mesmerized.
“Mother.”
The little maiden who had been holding on to Gu Ruoyun’s hand quickly let go of her and rushed towards Cui Rong who was on the bed. “Mother, I’m back. Master and I have returned.”
Cui Rong was so overjoyed by Gu Wanbai’s appearance that she only noticed Gu Ruoyun at the door at this point.
“My Lady, it’s you!”
At that moment, Cui Rong’s heart was filled with joy. She then exclaimed somewhat incoherently, “I knew you would come to find Que’er, I knew…”
“Mother, I was being bullied. Master and little brother Xun’er had saved me.”
Gu Wanbai grinned. Her smile was magnificent and even the freckles on her face became resplendent because of her smile.
“Thank you…” Cui Rong moved her lips as she looked gratefully at Gu Ruoyun.
However, before she could voice out the next part of her sentence, she was interrupted by Li Ying’s arrogant voice.
“Are you the person who wants to take Que’er in?” Li Ying lifted his head and looked at Gu Ruoyun as he said, “Have you heard of the Li family from Cloud Town?”
Gu Ruoyun swept her gaze towards Li Ying and replied indifferently, “Are they famous?”
Her tone was exceptionally grim and Li Ying could detect the contempt in her voice. His expression sank instantly.
“I’ve mentioned my name. so it’s your turn! I’d love to know where you’ve come from to have the nerve to disrespect the Li family!”
Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders when she heard this and replied serenely, “Gu Ruoyun.”
Gu Ruoyun?
Li Ying knitted his brows. For some reason, this name sounded very familiar but he could not remember where he had heard it from.
Since he could not remember where he had heard that name, he would rather not overthink it. He then remarked coldly, “I was thinking that you were some sort of great and famous person but I’ve never heard of you before. Little girl, I have taken a liking to Que’er. She’s a member of the Li family now. What, are you going to fight with the Li family of Cloud Town over one person?”
The conversation seemed to have a mind-numbing effect and Xiao Xun’er yawned. He then rubbed his eyes and said, “Mother, listening to him talk is making Xun’er sleepy. Let’s quickly deal with them and go to sleep, okay?”
“Where had this damned brat come from and he had the nerve to act so rudely!”
Li Ying’s expression changed and he scoffed coldly, “Men, take this mother and son down.”
In the beginning, Cui Rong had great confidence in Gu Ruoyun but when she heard Li Ying’s words, she began to feel nervous and she stared at Gu Ruoyun and her child anxiously.
