111 The Expert Cultivator from the Spirit Sect 9

"No need to worry, Xiao Yun’er," Zuo Shangchen, who has ever been filled with such staunch resolution, had the utmost of trust towards Gu Shengxiao, "There won’t be any problems when it comes to him! Furthermore, if it were possible for him to be in danger, those people would not have come looking for you. The only thing that can make him leave Spirit Sect temporarily as if something had happened to his precious baby sister."

Gu Ruoyun nodded, "I understand. I have to grow strong enough so that I’ll no longer be his weakness… But Zuo Shangchen, how are you acquainted with my brother?"

"We’re sworn friends for life."

That one sentence verified the relationship between the two of them…

Gu Ruoyun finally understood why Zuo Shangchen had wanted to help her, and why she could hear such care and concern in his words. It because he was sworn friends with her brother!

"I trust you, Zuo Shangchen." she raised her head, her gaze was firm and completely devoid of suspicion, "Whomever my brother trusts, I trust them even more."

She was clearly telling him that she only believed him because of Gu Shengxiao…

"Xiao Yun, I’m back! And I’ve brought the things that you've asked for, too!"

The sound of the voice was abruptly cut off. Qianbei Ye’s bloodthirsty, red pupils glared at the man, who looked even more beautiful than a woman. His silver hair instantly flared upwards. It was as if he had met his romantic foe. His enormous, unstoppable power burst out from his body.

Zuo Shangchen saw Qianbei Ye at the very same time…

Before meeting Qianbei Ye, Zuo Shangchen had always thought that his looks were unrivaled. However, he now knew that it was possible for a man mold ‘god’ and ‘devil’ into one body. Anyone by this man's side would only serve as a foil to his beauty.

The silver-haired man was like a god, standing tall above all, and would make one feel as if he could not be reviled. But his red robe gave him the appearance of someone who had just crawled out of hell, dyed red in the fresh blood of mortal men…

It was undeniable. Zuo Shangchen only had one thought in mind when faced with this man — strong!

Why would Gu Ruoyun have such a strong man her side? Zuo Shangchen wondered. It looked like I'd have to get Qingyi to investigate his identity…

"Xiao Ye, you’ve returned?"

Gu Ruoyun raised her head and looked at the man inquiringly.

Although it was only a matter of seconds, the enormous and heavy power on the man’s body suddenly dissipated, and the air seemed to return to its normal state. Then, his beautiful face turned towards the girl with a sad look in his red pupils, he asked her, like a little wife, "Xiao Yun, who is this woman?"

Woman?

"Cough, cough!" Gu Ruoyun nearly choked on her own saliva and began coughing violently. Zuo Shangchen was far too beautiful, and it was the soft and gentle kind of beauty, too. It was no wonder how Xiao Ye could have mistaken him for a woman. Other than his body structure, this fellow was certainly no different from a woman…

Zuo Shengchen’s face darkened. He glared at Qianbei Ye, and curled the corner of his lips, "If I’m a woman, then… Xiao Yun’er is a man. Xiao Yun’er, seeing as you have such a strong personality, I think that we’re rather compatible. How about we become a pair?"

Gu Ruoyun could feel the power radiating from Qianbei Ye, who stood by her side. She knew that she had to say something very quickly, or else this guy would start a massacre right in the middle of her courtyard.

The two of them were not playing around.

"I’m sorry, Fourth Prince, but I’m not interested in women who are too beautiful." Gu Ruoyun let our a dry cough as she spoke.

"Why?"

Zuo Shangchen asked, raising an eyebrow.
