Gu Ruoyun baru saja melangkah masuk ke Kota Batu Hitam ketika ia merasakan tatapan-tatapan aneh dari mata setiap warga yang tertuju padanya. Ia mengernyitkan alis, tetapi tidak memikirkannya terlalu dalam. Sebaliknya, ia langsung menuju kediaman keluarga Murong.
Ia tidak tahu bahwa setiap keluarga telah menyebarkan potret dirinya ke khalayak ramai. Mereka takut mati bahwa keluarga yang tidak mengenalinya akan membangkitkan murka dewa pembunuh ini karena ketidaktahuan mereka! Bahkan Perampok Taring Serigala telah langsung dimusnahkan oleh dewa pembunuh ini. Jadi, jika ia ingin menghancurkan mereka, itu terlalu mudah.
Oleh karena itu, setiap orang tak bisa tidak menyingkir ketika melihat sekilas pakaian hijau yang khas itu, lalu menatapnya kembali dengan penuh kerinduan atau ketakutan...
Saat itu, keluarga Murong juga telah menerima kabar. Mereka semua berbaris di luar pintu, mata penuh harap, untuk menyambut kepulangannya.
Maka, begitu Gu Ruoyun melangkah masuk ke kediaman keluarga Murong, seorang sosok melesat cepat ke arahnya, dan tubuh mungil nan lembut itu menghambur ke pelukan Gu Ruoyun dengan senyum yang lebih cerah daripada matahari.
"Pengawal Gu, aku tahu kau akan baik-baik saja!"
Ye Nuo mengedipkan mata berkilau bagai bintang dan terkikik pada wanita di hadapannya.
"Kalian semua sedang apa di sini?" Gu Ruoyun mengangkat alis dan menoleh ke para anggota keluarga Murong yang berdiri di ambang pintu. Suaranya dipenuhi keterkejutan.
"Nona Sulung, jadi benar. Anda baik-baik saja."
Mata tua Master Murong berkaca-kaca oleh air mata syukur. Hanya Langit yang tahu betapa berat cobaan yang harus ditanggung keluarga Murong selama Gu Ruoyun pergi. Seandainya bukan karena Black Cloud Auction yang telah berdiri membela mereka, mungkin keluarga Murong sudah lama disapu bersih dari Kota Batu Hitam.
"Aku kira kau..."
"Tua bangka terkutuk, tutup mulutmu!" Ye Nuo melirik tajam ke Master Murong dengan jengkel, lalu mencibir dengan menantang, "Kalau bukan demi Pengawal Gu, sudah lama akan kubuat duburmu meledak hanya karena kau mengutuknya selama setahun penuh!"
Bagi Ye Nuo, selama orang-orang ini menganggapnya mati, itu sama saja dengan mengutuknya!
Lihatlah dirinya, ia jelas hidup dan sehat. Mengapa semua orang ini bersikeras menyatakan bahwa ia sudah mati?
"Mari masuk dulu. Aku punya beberapa hal yang perlu dibicarakan dengan kalian."
"Baik, Nona Sulung."
Master Murong mengusap air mata di sudut matanya dan buru-buru mengikuti Gu Ruoyun kembali masuk ke dalam.
Murong Yan menatap sosok yang menghilang itu dan hendak mengatakan sesuatu, tetapi pada akhirnya ia tetap kehabisan kata-kata.
...
Di aula, Gu Ruoyun melangkah lebar menuju tempat duduk Master, lalu menoleh ke setiap orang yang mengikuti di belakangnya. Ia perlahan membuka mulut dan berkata, "Terima kasih atas segala kerepotan kalian selama setahun terakhir."
Sepanjang jalan, ia telah mendengar apa yang terjadi pada keluarga Murong selama setahun terakhir. Bahkan, dengan bantuan Black Cloud Auction
Chapter 615: Unifying Black Rock City (1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Ruoyun had just set foot in Black Rock City when she felt the strange stares from the eyes of every citizen upon her. She wrinkled her brow but she did not think too much of it. Instead, she headed straight for the Murong family home.
She did not know that every family has sent out pictures of her likeness to the public. They were deathly afraid that any family who did not recognize her would provoke this murderous god in their ignorance! Even the Wolf’s Fang Robbers were instantly annihilated by this murderous god. So if she wished to destroy them, it would only be too easy.
As such, everyone could not help but step aside when they saw that distinctive flash of green robes and looked back at her with either longing or terror...
At this moment, the Murong family had also received the news. They were all lined up outside the door with eyes brimming with hope to welcome her return.
Therefore, the instant when Gu Ruoyun stepped into the Murong family home, a figure charged quickly towards her and a soft little body threw itself into Gu Ruoyun’s arms with a smile brighter than the sun.
"Bodyguard Gu, I knew you’d be alright!"
Ye Nuo blinked his glistening, starry eyes and giggled at the woman before him.
"What are you all doing here?" Gu Ruoyun raised her eyebrows and turned towards the Murong family members who were standing at the doorway. Her voice was filled with astonishment.
"Eldest Lady, so it’s true. You’re alright."
Master Murong’s elderly eyes glistened with tears of gratitude. Only the Heavens knows how much the Murong family have had to endure in Gu Ruoyun’s absence. If it had not been for the Black Cloud Auction who had stood up for them, the Murong family might have already been wiped out from Black Rock City.
"I thought that you..."
"Damned old man, you shut your mouth!" Ye Nuo shot Master Murong an irritated glare and scoffed defiantly, "If it had not been for the sake of Bodyguard Gu, I would have made your anus explode long ago simply for cursing her for an entire year!"
To Ye Nuo, as long as these people considered her to be dead, they were cursing her!
Look at her, she was clearly alive and well. Why had all these people insisted that she was dead?
"Let’s go inside first. I have some things to discuss with you."
"Yes, Eldest Lady."
Master Murong wiped the tears from the corner of his eye and quickly followed Gu Ruoyun back inside.
Murong Yan stared at the disappearing figure and tried to say something, only to remain at a loss for words in the end.
...
In the hall, Gu Ruoyun took large strides towards the Master’s seat and turned towards each and every person who had followed closely behind. She slowly opened her mouth and spoke, "Thank you all for your troubles in the past year."
Along the way, she had heard of what had happened to the Murong family during this past year. Even with the help of the Black Cloud Auction, which stopped the other organizations from doing anything drastic to the Murong family, it was only a surface protection. The Black Cloud Auction could not prevent anything else to be done clandestinely.
However, everything which the Murong family has had to endure was because she had dragged them down with her. If it had not been for her actions, those organizations would not have directed their ire towards the Murong family in her absence.
"Eldest Lady, that’s nothing much." Master Murong shook his head and replied excitedly, "As long as you’ve returned, it is enough."
"Mmm." Gu Ruoyun nodded gently, "Ah, right. About the holy spirit fruit which we had found in the tomb, you can now distribute them to every Martial King disciple in the Murong family. I also have another pill which can help Martial Kings to move one level up. You may distribute them along with the holy spirit fruit to the disciples. If you combine the pill and the holy spirit fruit, you can at least help the Martial Kings to improve up to two levels."
