The Wild Empress of the Evil Emperor
Chapter.119: The Surprising Auction of the Four Nations (6)
Second Master Gu thought that he was cruel but who knew that this old man could be more heartless than him. General Gu would even go so far as to bury the remains of a stranger in the ancestral tomb so that he could disguise them as the remains of his son.
However, at this point, that was all they could do...
"Okay, father, I will order a trusted aide to start the search, I will definitely find two sets of human remains that match before the auction."
...
During this period of time, troops led by Martial Generals began to appear on the streets of the Azure Dragon Country from time to time. Even rare Martial King level cultivators were seen more often. Keep in mind that, normally, in the Azure Dragon Country, there were very few Martial Generals most of the time.
Everyone's goal was clearly none other than the Hundred Herb Hall.
Because of that, the Emperor of the Azure Dragon Country became desperate. He even called back the people he sent to find the murderer who had injured the Crown Prince. He was afraid that they might accidentally offend Martial King, who was a cultivator he was incapable of offending. One of them could easily destroy the empire he had built.
At this moment, Gu Panpan was standing next to a young man at the door of the auction venue as his big, clear eyes stared at the crowd curiously. His palm-sized face was filled with longing and respect.
Logically, someone with his status would not be qualified to attend the auction but he was lucky to have a close acquaintance with the Young Master of the Qin Order, Qin Luo. Hence, he had been given the opportunity to gain exposure and broaden his horizons.
However, at this moment, a voice sounded from the side and slowly reached his ears...
"Who knew that the Hundred Herb Hall would be decorated so luxuriously? Speaking of which, Gu Ruoyun, is it alright if you don't help? Won't elder Yu be mad at you?"
Gu Ruoyun's?
Why is this woman here? He should have been inside the auction venue to help, this was what a lowly part-time worker should have done.
Gu Panpan saw the girl whispering something into Gu Ruoyun's ear, but her smile remained calm throughout the conversation. Gu Ruoyun was wearing a light green dress embroidered with green leaves. It was fresh and incredible, as if he was not part of the crowd around him.
As he looked at the girl's delicate face, Gu Panpan tightened it first. He could not understand it; he had only seen Gu Ruoyun a few days ago. How did Gu Ruoyun change so much? The aura he had now made people extremely envious of him!
"Panpan, do you know him?" Qin Luo followed Gu Panpan's gaze and looked at the smiling girl. Eyes glittering.
Although this woman did not have any prominent facial features, there was no denying that she had one of the most outstanding auras of all the women she had ever met. While one's beauty can age, only the aura can increase with time...
Gu Panpan was clearly aware of the meaning of the look in Qin Luo's eyes. He held the end of his sleeve tightly and said, "She's my uncle's daughter. Unfortunately, he was too rebellious and did not know how to respect the older people. He had announced that he wanted to leave our family and join the Hundred Herb Hall. as a lowly part-time worker."
Gu Panpan deliberately emphasized the word 'part-time worker'.
"A part-time worker?" Qin Luo was a little disappointed.
Just a small part-time worker, in the end, was no different than being a servant. They all belong to the lowest rank in society. Thus the feeling he had before quickly faded away.
"Eh?"
Luo Yin watched Gu Panpan and she said in a shocked voice, "Gu Panpan, you lowly witch, how are you still alive? Could it be that you just pretended to faint that day because you are here now?"
