Pelindung Kiri sangat percaya diri. Dia yakin setelah menawarkan kondisi yang begitu menggoda, Gu Ruoyun mustahil menolaknya.
Namun...
Tepat ketika Pelindung Kiri menunggu dengan percaya diri akan jawaban Gu Ruoyun, suara wanita itu yang dingin dan acuh tak acuh kembali terdengar pelan, “Kau datang ke sini hanya untuk urusan ini? Kalau begitu, kau bisa pulang. Bahkan jika aku mendapatkan Rumput Jiwa Bulan, aku tidak akan memberikannya kepada siapa pun!”
Whoosh!
Ekspresi Pelindung Kiri langsung menurun, sementara seberkas cahaya redup yang tak menentu berkelip di matanya.
“Gu Ruoyun, apakah kau benar-benar akan ragu-ragu sampai dipaksa berbuat lebih jauh? Jika kau melewatkan kesempatan ini, kau tidak akan pernah bisa bergabung dengan Dunia Bawah.”
Mendengar itu, Gu Ruoyun tidak berkata apa-apa lagi. Dia hanya berjalan mengitari Pelindung Kiri, mengulurkan tangannya untuk membuka pintu, lalu masuk.
Saat dia hendak menutup pintu, dia mendengar suara Pelindung Kiri yang terdengar seperti sedang menahan amarahnya. “Baik, baik sekali! Aku harap kau bisa tetap teguh pada keputusanmu saat waktunya tiba!”
Bam!
Pintu pun dibanting menutup, meninggalkan Pelindung Kiri di luar. Gu Ruoyun dengan lembut mengelus si kecil dalam pelukannya dengan jarinya dan dengan tenang melengkungkan sudut bibirnya. “Si kecil, menurutmu apakah aku punya semacam masalah dengan kata ‘Pelindung Kiri’? Dulu di Ordo Rahasia, Mu Chu, Pelindung Kiri-nya, juga mencoba menyusahkanku demi membalaskan dendam Wen Ya. Sekarang aku sudah tiba di Alam Kegelapan Bumi, aku tidak menyangka musuh kuatnya adalah Pelindung Kiri Dunia Bawah yang kuat.”
Si kecil mengedipkan matanya. Ia tidak memahami semua hal lain yang dikatakan Gu Ruoyun, tetapi ia memahami dengan sangat jelas bahwa dulu di Ordo Rahasia, ada seseorang yang berani menyusahkan Gu Ruoyun!
Si kecil menundukkan kepalanya dan terdiam memikirkan hal itu. Matanya yang besar berkedip-kedip dan bergerak, tetapi pikirannya sulit ditebak...
Di luar kediaman tamu.
Pelindung Kiri berjubah putih itu berjalan cepat keluar dengan raut wajah yang sangat buruk. Dia melirik ke kediaman tamu di belakangnya dengan ekspresi yang mendung dan tak terbaca.
“Pelindung Kiri, wanita ini tampaknya cukup keras kepala. Apa yang harus kami lakukan selanjutnya?”
Penjaga Dunia Bawah yang berdiri di belakang wanita berjubah putih itu melangkah maju dan bertanya dengan hormat.
“Kita pasti akan mendapatkan Rumput Jiwa Bulan.” Pelindung Kiri terkekeh pelan. Senyumnya sangat dingin, lalu dia melanjutkan, “Lagipula, ada tiga orang yang memiliki peluang bagus untuk merebut gelar juara kali ini. Selain Gu Ruoyun, ada juga Leng Shang dan Su Lin! Karena Gu Ruoyun begitu tidak tahu sopan santun, apa pun yang terjadi kita tidak boleh membiarkannya memenangkan gelar juara!”
Kedua orang lainnya sudah berjanji kepadanya bahwa jika mereka berhasil menerima gelar juara, mereka akan memberikan Rumput Jiwa Bulan itu kepada Dunia Bawah. Selain itu, mereka juga tidak akan meminta imbalan apa pun!
Inilah tanda orang yang benar-benar cerdas!
Bisa menjalin hubungan dengan Dunia Bawah... Betapa beruntungnya itu? Hanya orang bodoh yang akan membiarkan kesempatan seperti ini hilang sia-sia!
“Tapi...” Penjaga Dunia Bawah itu ragu-ragu, tetapi akhirnya mengumpulkan keberaniannya dan berkata, “Kaisar Kekaisaran Bulan Surgawi sepertinya

The Left Protector was very confident. She believes that after having raised such a tempting condition, Gu Ruoyun could not possibly reject her.
However...
Just as the Left Protector was waiting confidently for Gu Ruoyun’s reply, the woman’s chilly and indifferent voice slowly rang out again, “You came here just for this matter? If that’s the case, you can go back. Even if I get the Moon Soul Herb, I won’t give it to anyone else!”
Whoosh!
The Left Protector’s expression suddenly sank as a clouded and indefinite light flickered in her eyes.
“Gu Ruoyun, are you really going to hesitate in doing something until forced to do even more? If you miss this chance, you’ll never be able to join the Underworld.”
Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun did not say anything more. She simply walked around the Left Protector, reached out her hand to open the door and walked in.
Just as she was about to close the door, she heard the Left Protector’s voice which sounded as if she was suppressing her anger. “Great, that’s just great! I hope that you can stay resolved in your decision when the time comes!”
Wham!
The door then slammed shut, barring the Left Protector on the outside. Gu Ruoyun gently stroked the little fellow in her arms with her finger and calmly curled the corners of her lips. “Little fellow, would you say that I have some sort of beef against the words ‘Left Protector’? Back then at the Secret Order, Mu Chu, its Left Protector, had also tried to caused trouble for me in order to avenge Wen Ya. Now that I’ve arrived in the Dark Earth Realm, I did not expect the powerful enemy to be the Underworld’s powerful Left Protector.”
The little fellow blinked. It did not understand everything else that Gu Ruoyun had said but it understood very clearly that back then at the Secret Order, someone had dared to cause trouble for her!
The little fellow lowered its head and fell silent at the thought of this. Its large eyes flickered and moved but its thoughts were unreadable...
Outside the guest house.
The white-robed Left Protector quickly walked out with a supremely ugly look on her face. She glanced at the guest house behind her as her expression overshadowed and unreadable.
“Left Protector, this woman seems to be quite stubborn. What should we do next?”
The Underworld guard who was standing behind the white-robed woman stepped forward and asked respectfully.
“We will definitely get the Moon Soul Herb.” The Left Protector chuckled softly. Her smile was extremely icy as she continued, “Besides, there are three persons who have a good chance of claiming the champion’s title this time. There are also Leng Shang and Su Lin aside from Gu Ruoyun! Since Gu Ruoyun is so tactless, we can’t let her win the championship title no matter what!”
The other two have already promised her that if they manage to receive the champion’s title, they would give the Moon Soul Herb to the Underworld. Besides, they also would not require any form of reward!
This was the sign of a truly intelligent person!
To be able to establish a connection with the Underworld... How fortunate was that? Only an idiot would let a chance like this wash away in vain!
“This...” The guard from the Underworld hesitated but gathered his courage in the end and said, “The Emperor of the Heavenly Moon Empire doesn’t seem like the type of person who would help us to cheat! Even though Leng Shang is also at the late-stage of the exceptional state, Su Lin has more treasures in her hand. However, if they can’t defeat Gu Ruoyun, what should we do?”
“The Emperor of the Heavenly Moon Empire won’t help us to cheat because He doesn’t want to break His promise. However, cheating is not the only way to make Gu Ruoyun lose the contest!”
The Left Protector lowered her eyelids as if she had just thought of something. Her lips then curled into a cold smile while the space between her brows carried a sense of arrogance.
...
The next day.
In a garden behind the Heavenly Moon Empire’s court, a hundred flowers were blooming, competing with each other for magnificence.
