Besides, Qianbei Ye has never kept his defenses up around Gu Ruoyun. Therefore, even though he had reached the rank of a Martial Saint long ago, the damage was evident as he did not have any protection in place.

"Don't worry, if you're unable to have sexual intercourse, I can still heal you." Gu Ruoyun shrugged as she shot Qianbei Ye a look, "This is the price you pay for your self-proclamation about our 'intimacies of the flesh' to my father."

Gu Ruoyun had covered for Qianbei Ye while Gu Tian was in the room but that does not mean that she would let him off so easily.

Qianbei Ye was like a bullied puppy as he stared at Gu Ruoyun with puppy-dog eyes and lamented, "Wife, your husband will be going away tomorrow so..."

"You're leaving?" Gu Ruoyun was shocked. Suddenly, a sense of reluctance appeared in the recesses of her heart.

"I have some business to take care of. Once I'm done with that, I'll come to meet you."

Qianbei Ye's pitiful look vanished as he mentioned this and a red light flashed in his bloodred eyes. He narrowed his gaze, displaying a hint of malice.

The City? The Lin family?

Since they had the audacity to touch my woman, they must pay the price!

"Alright."

Gu Ruoyun nodded, "I'll wait for you at the Medicine Sect's general meeting. If you aren't able to come during the Medicine Sect's general meeting, come find me at the Northern Block Territory. However, I believe that when the time comes, you won't need to look for me specifically, you'll know where I am."

Her tone was resolute and she spoke with absolute confidence.

That's right! When the time comes, she would become well-known across the mainland. Qianbei Ye would not need to look very hard in order to find her.

"Wife," Qianbei Ye pulled her into an embrace. He lowered his eyelids and surveyed the delicate and pretty face before him before planting a fierce kiss on her lips, "You're not allowed to flirt with anyone else in my absence!"

Actually, out of all the men around her, Qianbei Ye have always felt that Zixie was the most dangerous of all.

Even though Zixie was still a child at the moment, the wisdom he holds was in no way at the same level as his age! Hence, he would take complete advantage of his naive and innocent face to exploit Gu Ruoyun's heart. It looks like it was time for him to sort out all his matters and return to her side.

...

Nightfall.

Under the quiet moonlit sky.

Gu Ruoyun was still awake. She was seated cross-legged on her bed with her eyes closed.

Faint spiritual energy began to circulate around her. She absorbed this through her five senses into her body, slowly filling her spiritual ocean.

Suddenly, with a loud bang, a wave of powerful energy suddenly exploded from within her mind and shot up towards the sky. A large amount of spiritual energy had gathered into clouds which were hovering above her head. It gave off a very deep suffocating feeling.

"A high-level Martial Honor."

Gu Ruoyun slowly exhaled and lifted her lips into a smile, "I didn't think that I would breakthrough to the rank of a high-level Martial Honor tonight. I had expected that I would need a few more days' time! This means that I'm now only one step away from becoming a Martial Supreme."

Once I break through to the rank of a Martial Supreme, I can then heal Yu'er's severed arm.. .

She closed her eyes again at that thought and began to gather the energy she had received from her breakthrough...

To a cultivator, time can pass very quickly fast during cultivation. To Gu Ruoyun, it felt like only an hour had passed before it was suddenly daytime. Initially, she and Bai Zhongtian had agreed to head for the Medicine Sect today but Bai Zhongtian had some last minute business to attend to. He had asked Gu Ruoyun to start the journey first and he would meet up with her later on.
