The Wild Empress of the Evil Emperor
13. Chapter 13: the Completion of the Pill (4)
In front of the beautifully ornate windowpanes, a man stood his back to the door. A light breeze gently surrounded the room, gently sweeping across the man's black hair.
As if sensing footsteps from outside the door, he gently tilted his head. The bright sunlight shone on the man's handsome face, casting far more mesmerizing scenery than the sunlight outside the window.
The door was pushed open, and Elder Yu slowly entered the room. He lowered his head and spoke respectfully, "Young Master, there's something I have to report."
The man gently raised his hand and stopped the old man before he could continue speaking.
He curled the corners of his lips into an interesting angle. Her soft eyes shone like a dazzling black pond, so beautiful that it could cause ripples in the hearts of many people.
"Older Yu, there is no need for an explanation. I've seen everything that's been going on downstairs. This Gu Ruoyun, it seems that she is not as fragile as they say. At least, I can't detect any signs of weakness or cowardice in him..."
No one in the Azure Dragon country did not know that the genius of that generation, Gu Tian had given birth to a useless daughter, gifted with stupidity, cowardice and fear of everything. Not only did he humiliate his name, he also humiliated General Gu's household. Based on his observations, the rumors were not true. That girl is so arrogant. Which part of him looks like a coward?
I don't know where these rumors came from. He thinks.
"Gu Ruoyun?" Elder Yu's mouth gaped in shock, "Young Master, are you saying that she is the daughter of Gu Tian and Lady Yu'er, Gu Ruoyun?"
"Right," The man gently stroked the bamboo leaf beside him with his slender body of fingers, his lips showing an indecipherable smile. "Not many people I admire. Gu Tian was one of those people. He had the ability to grow into such a great power, in such a weak state. If he was born into a powerful organization, he would now be among the greatest cultivators in the entire land. Both he and my sister are a suitable couple in heaven. Unfortunately, some people make the decision to separate them."
The man sighed at the thought of this, and spoke with a hint of regret in his voice, "Now that we discuss it, Gu Ruoyun should address me as her uncle. But I've heard talk in the family that this Gu Ruoyun is so useless, and can't even be compared to Gu Tian.My visit this time is for her sake! Elder Yu, the Hundred Herb Hall is just one of my businesses; his loss is the same as losing a few pieces of gold.Therefore, I agree to your idea of utilizing the Hundred Herb Hall as part of your bet, that doesn't mean that just because she is Gu Tian's daughter, you should be lenient with her. I want to see his true abilities ..."
So, I want to find out if this girl has the ability to conquer heaven by herself!
…..
Downstairs, Gu Ruoyun heard the sound of footsteps coming down from above. He lightly raised his brows, turning his gaze towards Elder Yu, who was limping hurriedly downward.
"So how? Does Young Master agree with my suggestion?"
Once he found out about Gu Ruoyun's true identity, Elder Yu began to feel a complex mix of emotions. She never thought that this girl would become the daughter of Gu Tian and the precious pearl of the Dongfang Family. Should he offend her, then in the future ...
Although Young Master left instructions not to be casual with him, but it shouldn't be a problem if I lighten his load a little, right?
"Yuk!"
Elder Yu's eyes shot back and forth as he thought about this. He let out a dry cough and said, "Miss, how are we supposed to enter this competition?"
“Simple only!” Gu Ruoyun lifted her lips to a corner, “ Elder Yu, I heard your throat is hoarse, is this an old disease?”
Elder Yu was stunned for a moment, and nodded honestly, "That's right. That year, I was locked in a battle with a strong cultivator, and was severely injured causing damage to my throat. While I managed to save myself with my potion, I was never able to heal my throat the way it was."
