Amidst the flattery of the masses, the day of the banquet finally arrived.

　　It was night and the moonbeams were as calm as water. There were numerous luxurious carriages parked outside the Gu household, but there were still people who were arriving for the banquet.

　　As he took in all the compliments which were thrown at him, General Gu smiled until his eyes aligned in one long slit. His grinning, wrinkled old face displayed the utmost pride and delight as though these people were only fit to admire the Gu family.

　　During this time, an austere-looking carriage stopped at the gates. Everyone turned their gaze impulsively towards the carriage and immediately noticed the symbol on the carriage. Even those who were surrounding General Gu stopped their flattery…

　　“It’s someone from the Hundred Herb Hall! With the kind of relationship between the Hundred Herb Hall and the Gu family, why would they be here?”

　　“Heh, you don’t know about this. Even though the Hundred Herb Hall has a Martial King in charge, Gu Xianglin is the Young Master of the Gentle Breeze Faction. The Gentle Breeze Faction has at least two Martial Kings. Therefore, don’t you think that the Hundred Herb Hall wouldn’t be nervous? I estimate that they are here to make peace and Gu Ruoyun of the Hundred Herb Hall is also a part of the Gu family. Elder Yu would not hesitate to take advantage of that relationship.”

　　The crowd murmured at the mention of Gu Ruoyun.

　　They could not believe that an outstanding hero such as Gu Tian had bred this shameless woman! She had actually cajoled with an old fart for her own selfish matters, this was an absolute devastation to Gu Tian’s good name!

　　Furthermore, the story of this misdeed had come from General Gu’s own mouth, there was no way that it could be false. No wonder General Gu had wanted to chase her out! If this kind of outrageous woman even placed a foot in their household, they would not even want it!

　　“You came?”

　　The old man shot an icy-cold gaze and watched as Gu Ruoyun stepped down from the carriage. His nose was raised and his eyes raised higher than the sky as he asked her.

　　For the first time, because of the Dongfang family, when he went to pay a visit, he had been asked to leave by this woman! The second time, in order to get a Beauty Rejuvenation Pill, he again approached her humbly. However, Gu Ruoyun had actually ruthlessly scammed him!

　　He bet that this young girl would not have thought that one day the Gu family could get back on their feet!

　　Even without Gu Shengxiao and her, he had another excellent grandchild!

　　Hahaha!

　　The old man belted out in delight internally as he thought about that. In his mind, he could almost see Gu Ruoyun and Elder Yu’s pathetic demeanor as they knelt before him and begged for his forgiveness…

　　It felt good!

　　It felt really good!

　　In these repressive three years, he had never felt this good, ever!

　　“Grandfather, since the guests have arrived, let us head back in then.”

　　At this moment, Gu Xianglin came from the side and said, “As for those who are still arriving, let the Gentle Breeze Faction’s followers stay here to welcome them.”

　　“Yes, absolutely.”

　　The old man chuckled, “Xianglin, you too have not seen Gu Ruoyun for so many years now. Now she is here. Of course, if not for your generosity, she would not have the right to be here.”

　　“Gu Ruoyun?” Gu Xianglin crinkled his brows and turned his head to look at the young woman who was clad in green…

　　In comparison to a few years ago, the young lady had become graceful. Her skin was fair like jade, her features were delicate and pretty. Even if it was not the kind of exceptional beauty that could knock others off their feet, it was a comfortably pleasant sight to look at. To him, Shi Yun from the Weapon Refining Sect was gentle and innocently beautiful like a white lotus, but the young woman before him was like a bamboo: elegant, refined and unyielding.

　　Gu Xianglin was slightly shocked, was this still the Gu Ruoyun who was physically skinny and cowardly?

　　Why was it that it seemed as if she had changed into another person within these few years, and there was not a trace of her former self to be found…
