The Wild Empress of the Evil Emperor
Chapter 118: Auction That Shocks the Four Nations (5)
Gu Ruoyun grinned - if this condition was achieved so easily then she would not mention it.
"Then I have no other way either," Gu Ruoyun shrugged, "Although I am a part of the Hundred Herb Hall, I am only a small part-time worker. I don't have much authority so I'm I'm afraid I can't help you."
Not much authority.
General Gu wished he could spit on his face. If he really had no relationship with the Hundred Herb Hall, why would Elder Yu save him repeatedly regardless of the danger? Do not think that just because this girl does not have a beauty that can damage the country then she is not attractive. She was still very delicate and beautiful, maybe she was just a cup of elder Yu's tea.
If Elder Yu knew General Gu's thoughts, he might be tempted to whip him in public.
"Yes ..." General Gu hesitated but in the end, he firmly decided, "OK, I agree to your request. I'll swap their bodies for Beauty Rejuvenation Pills."
"Sure," Gu Ruoyun smiled, "Wait until the auction ends, you can come looking for me and I'll give you the item you want the most."
When he heard this, General Gu was delighted and he was getting more and more convinced by his conjecture earlier.
It seemed like this little girl was indeed involved with Elder Yu, otherwise, how could she make a decision for the Hundred Herb Hall's treasure.
He was at a loss as to why the Hundred Herb Hall would accept a useless person like him from the very beginning. Who knew that there was actually such a relationship going on. One must really not judge a book by its cover. If Gu Shengxiao came back and saw this, he would probably get angry.
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 Martial King. Even if Gu Ruoyun had managed to rid herself of her title in vain, 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, "Madam, are you really going to give him the Beauty Rejuvenation Pill?"
Gu Ruoyun shrugged, "Of course not."
The old man should have never used his parents to fight him, otherwise, he would not have deceived him like this.
This emotion, this personality, was exactly the same as Gu Tian...
No one would believe it if someone said they were not father and son.
...
In the hall of the Gu family.
Second Master Gu was walking back and forth anxiously with his hands behind his back. At this moment, he saw General Gu enter. When he saw the unseen joy on the old man's face, he felt elated. "Dad, did you make it?"
General Gu looked arrogant and very pleased with himself, "When this old man made a move, how could there be a failure? Gu Ruoyun has promised to give me one Beauty Rejuvenation Pill. But..."
Initially, Second Master Gu was very happy to hear this, but after hearing about his condition, he looked sad again.
"He wanted the body of Gu Tian and his wife."
The bodies of Gu Tian and his wife?
It's been over ten years, where are they going to find the body? Even if they found it, it might just be two very rotten skeletons right now ...
"Dad, isn't he obviously bothering us? How are we gonna find two sets of bones for him?"
General Gu smiled cynically, "I didn't say I would find the truth for him. Just find the two bodies from the mass grave and bring them back. As long as we're careful, he won't know. Besides, which father would want to bury a corpse of unknown origin in the tomb of their family ancestor? So, Gu Ruoyun would definitely not doubt the origin of the corpse!"
