The Wild Empress of the Evil Emperor
14. Chapter 14: The Completion of the Pill (5)
"What if I tell you that I can heal your throat completely?"
Gu Ruoyun smiled and her clear and bright eyes shone with confidence.
Hearing this, elder Yu laughed out loud, "Even I am unable to heal my wounds. If a young lady like you really has such an ability, you deserve my respect!"
Even an idiot could hear the sarcasm in Elder Yu's voice.
I intended to make her relax in this bet, but it seems that this little girl is arrogant and arrogant, he thought. If I don't teach him a lesson, it will hurt his personal growth in the future.
Gu Ruoyun did not think about it, just smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, I can give you your medicine. I only need a certain type of medicine, and you'll be cured in half an hour. Of course, if I manage to heal a wound that you yourself cannot heal, it shows that you have lost and the Hundred Herb Hall will be mine."
"Good!" Elder Yu laughed mockingly, "Since you want to gamble, then I will comfort you. Take whatever potion you need from the Hundred Herbs Hall. I don't believe it's a drug that could possibly work in a day. This is completely contrary to common sense."
Gu Ruoyun did not say anything, just smiled. He took out a piece of paper and wrote down more than ten kinds of herbs, and handed the paper over to Shopkeeper Zhao, "Please grab this potion, boil it in a pot and serve the mixture to Elder Yu. I guarantee you in half an hour, he will be free from his suffering.”
In his past life, it was true that Gu Ruoyun had no experience in pill refinement, but she sought medical guidance from a famous physician. The doctor was famous throughout the Eastern Peak Lands, even far superior to the Western Spirit Mainland.
And he was his favorite student. So naturally, he taught her everything he knew.
Shopkeeper Zhao held the ingredient list in his hand, and glanced at Elder Yu. Upon seeing the nod of his approval, Shopkeeper Zhao immediately rushed off to retrieve the medicinal herbs.
"Young lady," Elder Yu frowned, paused in silence, then spoke, "Although I don't particularly like your arrogant attitude, there's something I should warn you about."
"What's that?"
At this moment, a wave of seriousness that had never been seen before overpowered Elder Yu's face, making Gu Ruoyun feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Why did you say that?"
"The Gu family isn't as simple as you think," Elder Yu raised his head towards Gu Ruoyun, "If the rumors about you are true, maybe I won't tell you this. But from what I can tell, you are not a weak or useless person! You may be a little selfish, but you are also smart! Your father's death may have something to do with the Gu Family..."
Gu Ruoyun's heart trembled, slowly clenching her hands. He then took a deep breath and relaxed.
"Older Yu, do you know my father?"
"No," Elder Yu shook his head, "I never knew your father, I just admired him. He is a real man who is willing to protect the woman he loves at any cost! Unfortunately, the heavens were envious of such great talent, and geniuses would always suffer the wrath of envious people. That's all I can tell you, little girl. Whether you want to believe me or not, it's entirely up to you."
Actually, Elder Yu was eager to reveal his true identity to him. But he knew that was not the place to do it.
The Dongfang family was indeed strong, and the genius within the family was as much as the amount of cow hair. Not just anyone has the right to enter the family. Many years ago, Gu Tian's approval of the Dongfang Family was only because his innate talent far surpassed all others.
Unless Gu Ruoyun was as talented as her father, the Dongfang Family would never accept her..
"Older Yu, regardless of your relationship with my father, I just want to say, thank you for your warning. But in some ways I have a pretty good understanding of what's going on."
The Gu Family was a group of arrogant people. That is why they value the abilities of their family members so much.
If what elder Yu said was true, then why would the Gu Family do such a thing? He asked, If he tried to deceive me, what is the motive?
