At first, Gu Rong thought Hong Ding had merely been joking when he told Lin Bai to accompany her to the Azure Ruins. But now that she saw Hong Ding bringing Lin Bai over, her expression changed. It was not that Gu Rong looked down on Lin Bai's cultivation, nor had she grown arrogant because her cultivation surpassed his.
Rather, Gu Rong knew clearly that the Azure Ruins Battlefield was exceptionally dangerous. Even with her cultivation at the first Calamity Dao Realm, she could only barely protect herself. Although Lin Bai was very powerful, he was still only at the Quasi-Dao Realm. He would probably find the Azure Ruins Battlefield extremely difficult to endure.
"Gu Rong, don't talk nonsense. Once we enter the Azure Ruins Battlefield, if you encounter danger or something difficult to decide, remember to discuss it more with Lin Bai. If you two accidentally fall into danger, you must also remember this: Lin Bai is someone you can trust."
"When the critical moment comes, go find Lin Bai. He will do everything he can to keep you alive!"
Hong Ding spoke earnestly. It was not that he looked down on Gu Rong, but that after learning Lin Bai had forged a sword heart, he knew that Lin Bai's strength was probably now even greater than that of Gu Rong, a first-Calamity Dao Realm martial artist.
After all, even in the Spirit World, no one had been able to condense a sword heart while at the Quasi-Dao Realm. Even if someone had, they would probably have been the only one in all the ages!
"Got it!" Gu Rong pouted.
While Hong Ding was giving Gu Rong his instructions, the Gu Family's elders had already arranged for the martial artists to board the ships one after another.
