Chapter 23: A Good-For-Nothing? Who? (2)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation“Enough!”
Just as General Gu was about to retort, an irritated voice interrupted.
Hun Fei shot a look towards Gu Ruoyun and spoke expressionlessly, “Since you’ve broken through to level three, you may enter the Heavenly Spirit Formation. But remember, this is the lowest requirement to enter the Heavenly Spirit Formation. Even the lower level areas would be very dangerous for you. You’d better watch out.”
A level three in the Qi Collection ranks was not worth a second glance. One breath was all he needed to scare this little girl out of her wits.
He wondered to himself how was it a genius like Gu Shengxiao have such a good-for-nothing sister?
Hun Fei shook his head helplessly at that thought.
With the combined efforts of Hun Fei and Tian Lin, the door to the Heavenly Spirit Formation was opened. After that, most of the members of the younger generation entered the formation and it would be a month before any of them would be seen again. As such, the rest of the crowd dispersed, heading back to their own homes and would only be returning to the palace after a month.
Presently, Hun Fei stared into the empty Imperial compound, deep in thought.
“Not too long ago, a strange weather appeared in the skies of the Imperial Capital of Azure Dragon Country. The Sect Master studied the stars and predicted that a powerful cultivator had arrived in the world and that a great change will befall the mainland. If we are able to recruit this cultivator, our Weapon Refining Sect will certainly rise above all the other sects! Unfortunately, the only thing the Sect Master could foresee was that the strong cultivator would arrive in the body of some young talent. He was not able to predict his identity. Otherwise, we wouldn’t need to resort to utilizing the Heavenly Spirit Formation as a test.”
Tian Lin paused before raising his head, speaking calmly, “Something is bothering me far more than the identity of that genius.”
“What is it?”
“I’m not sure if you felt it. That girl they called Gu Ruoyun, she may lack talent but her mental capacity is great! Far greater than the other geniuses we have encountered.”
Hun Fei’s heart began to palpitate as he asked doubtfully, “I didn’t notice this due to her relationship with Gu Shengxiao. Are you saying that she has great mental capacity?”
Hun Fei’s breathing quickened at the thought. If they could coax Gu Ruoyun into giving them her mental capacity, they can cure their Lady of her affliction.
“Hun Fei, the price of losing one’s mental capacity is to become an idiot. I’m not sure this Gu Ruoyun will agree to this based on what I can tell from her personality.” Tian Lin shook his head, replying in a level tone.
“I doubt that would be the case,” Hun Fei sneered, “She is only a good-for-nothing in Azure Dragon Country, looked down upon by many. If she is willing to give herself to us for the sake of her Ladyship, our Weapon Refining Sect will take care of her for the rest of her life. Besides, it is a privilege for her to contribute her mental capacity to her Ladyship. After all, our Weapon Refining Sect will be required to contribute in the future wars that befall our mainland, and our Lady is the number one genius of the Weapon Refining Sect. This matter concerns the greater good of the entire mainland. As a citizen of the mainland, it is natural that one would contribute to the livelihood of it. Just like the others who have contributed before this, no one could possibly reject our offer.”
He spoke as if Gu Ruoyun should feel grateful for the opportunity to sacrifice herself for Shi Yun and that if she were to reject them, she would become a criminal throughout the mainland who deserves to be torn into ten thousand pieces and to be despised by all!
Tian Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head, “I see that that girl has an unyielding character and does not seem to be the kind of person who can be easily moved, Hun Fei. They will reemerge from the Heavenly Spirit Formation in a month, let us wait until then…”
