She has come a long way. Orphaned, born a weakling, and being the infamous good-for-nothing of Azure Dragon Country. Gu Ruoyun was the shame of the proud Gu household. Falsely accused of a crime she did not commit, she was betrayed by her family and beaten to death by her own grandfather. But life took a fateful twist on that very day — she was revived. Newly awakened, she is now the Master of an ancient treasure that resides within her body. Precious cultivation pills, treasures beyond her wildest imagination and spiritual beasts, all within her grasp... She is the apple of the eye of all under the heavens, including that of a mysterious, handsome man. Now she only has one goal — to conquer the world.
Gu Ruoyun only smiled in a noncommittal way.
She definitely would not let the Clan Leader know that she had also received a most precious item other than comprehension from the inheritance!
This was a lifetime of experience from a peerless cultivator!
To her, this was the greatest of riches!
"Why have you summoned me here?"
Gu Ruoyun's eyes turned towards the Clan Leader's elderly features as she asked calmly.
"Little girl, I know that you have many dissatisfactions towards the Secret Order's decisions. For example, we had agreed to give the inheritance to you and then went back on our word." The Clan Leader sighed in exasperation. "However, I had no other choice either. Even though I am the Secret Order's Clan Leader, there is one person whose orders must be followed. That person is the Secret Order's Sacred Beast! The Sacred Beast had given the order to choose the heir on its own. Therefore, I had no choice."
