Gu Ruoyun smirked – if this condition was so easily achieved then she would not have mentioned it.
“Then I don’t have any other ways either,” Gu Ruoyun shrugged, “Even though I’m a part of Hundred Herb Hall, I’m just a small part-time worker. I don’t have much authority so I’m afraid I can’t help you.”
Not much authority?
General Gu wished he could spit on her face. If she really had no relations with the Hundred Herb Hall, why would Elder Yu save her repeatedly in spite of the dangers? Don’t think that just because this girl did not have the kind of beauty that could ruin countries that she was not attractive. She was still very delicate and pretty, maybe she was just Elder Yu’s cup of tea.
If Elder Yu knew of General Gu’s thoughts, he probably would have been tempted to publicly flog him.
“Well…” General Gu hesitated but in the end, he was firmly resolved, “Okay, I agree to your request. I will trade you their bodies for the Beauty Rejuvenation Pill.”
“Sure,” Gu Ruoyun smiled, “Wait until the auction has ended, you can come look for me then and I will give you the thing that you want most.”
When he heard this, General Gu felt happy and he was even more certain of his earlier conjecture.
It looks like this little girl was indeed involved with Elder Yu, otherwise, how could she just make decisions for the Hundred Herb Hall’s treasures?
He had been confused as to why the Hundred Herb Hall would accept such a good-for-nothing like her in the first place. Who knew that there was actually such a relationship going on. One must really not judge a book by its cover. If Gu Shengxiao were to return and see this, he would probably be furious.
General Gu would never consider the fact that Gu Ruoyun’s position could be higher than Elder Yu’s because Elder Yu’s cultivation level was that of a Martial King. Even if Gu Ruoyun had managed to rid herself of her good-for-nothing title, what qualifications did she have to let a Martial King cultivator follow her orders?
As he watched General Gu’s shadow leave, Elder Yu frowned, “Lady, are you really going to give him a Beauty Rejuvenation Pill?”
Gu Ruoyun shrugged, “Of course… not.”
That old man should never have used her parents against her, otherwise, she would not have tricked him like this.
“Lady, you…” Elder Yu widened his eyes in astonishment and was shocked to see the Gu Ruoyun’s smile. He suddenly laughed out loud, “You’re too cunning! You and your father really are made from the same mold.”
This temper, this personality, it was exactly the same as Gu Tian’s…
No one would believe it if someone were to say that they were not father and daughter.
…
At the Gu family’s hall.
Second Master Gu was walking back and forth anxiously with his hands behind his back. At this moment, he noticed General Gu walking in. When he saw the unmasked delight on the old man’s face, he felt joyous. “Father, were you successful?”
General Gu looked arrogant and very pleased with himself, “When this old man makes a move, how can there be any failure? Gu Ruoyun has already promised to give me one Beauty Rejuvenation Pill. However…”
Initially, Second Master Gu had been overjoyed to hear this but after hearing about the condition, he looked dejected again.
“She wants the bodies of Gu Tian and his wife.”
The bodies of Gu Tian and his wife?
It has already been more than ten years, where would they find the bodies? Even if they were to find it, it would probably only be two very rotten skeletons by now…
“Father, isn’t she obviously troubling us? How are we going to find two sets of bones for her?”
General Gu smiled sinisterly, “I didn’t say I would find the actual ones for her. Just look for two bodies from the mass burial ground and bring them back. As long as we’re careful, she wouldn’t find out. Besides, which father would be willing to bury a body of unknown origins in their family’s ancestral tomb? So, Gu Ruoyun would definitely not doubt the bodies’ origins!”
