The Wild Empress of the Evil Emperor
38. Chapter 38: Qianbei Ye Jealousy (1)
Now, there were only a few people moving inside the Hundred Herb Hall and Gu Ruoyun looked at elder Yu with her eyes closed as she entered. As if realizing his presence, elder Yu opened his eyelids slightly and he chuckled softly, "You came ?"
"Yes, I'm coming."
Considering the fact that there was someone else in the hall, Gu Ruoyun simply nodded and did not say anything else.
"Let's go, we'll talk in the inner room. Next, there's someone who wants to see you."
"certain."
Ever since the last time he left the Hundred Herb Hall, Gu Ruoyun had not had time to return to this place. Back this time, he had not only found a place to stay but most importantly there were some orders that needed to be passed on.
Moreover, this would be his first step to climb to the top.
In the elegant inner space, a gentle breeze passed by gently, with the snow-white curtains swaying.
Just when Gu Ruoyun entered, she saw the man standing with his face facing her - he was wearing luxurious silk clothes, his demeanor was stunning and imposing. Just by looking at his back, there was already an enormous pressure, which really said something about this man's abilities.
"Young master, I've brought the man you want."
"Young Master?"
Gu Ruoyun's brows slightly curved. Could this man be the driving force behind the Hundred Herb Hall?
Frankly speaking, the people in the Azure Dragon Country only knew that the Hundred Herb Hall had a powerful faculty behind it. But those who had offended the power of the Hundred Herb Hall would disappear the next day. Nonetheless, no one knew who the owner behind the Hundred Herb Hall was; it was a mystery to all of them.
Thus, as the man turned around, astonishment flashed in Gu Ruoyun's eyes.
Dignified and refined - there are no two words more suited to describe this man. When she smiled, it was as if her face was being caressed by a gentle breeze. That's very comfortable.
"You are Gu Ruoyun? Princess Gu Tian? Not bad, you have the strength of former Gu Tian. Those who mock you as no one are too blind to see."
The man could see Gu Tian's former shadow on the young girl in front of him, which caused him to develop a good impression of her.
Gu Ruoyan was stunned, "You know my father?"
"That's right. Your father and I could be considered old friends. It was a pity that heaven was jealous of the heroic geniuses, which was a permanent loss to this country. Fortunately, that person was capable enough to give birth to a son who was accepted as a disciple by the Spirit Sect. Now, with such an amazing daughter like you, I don't know how relieved she would be if only she could see this."
The man sighed a little.
Nonetheless, when he heard her reply, Gu Ruoyun felt a tug in her heart. Gu's parents never mentioned where his older brother went and now, he finally knew of his whereabouts. Spirit Sect?
What abilities did this Spirit Sect possess?
"You are the master of the Hundred Herb Hall?"
He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the man in front of him.
The man chuckled briefly, "Yes, I am the master of the Hundred Herb Hall. My name is Dongfang Shaoze, but your parents and I are old friends, so if you don't mind, you can call me Uncle. I know something. or two about your parents, it's just that I can't tell you right now."
Gu Ruoyun finally understood why the Hundred Herb Hall changed things so easily.
Back then, he had only tried his luck and was completely desperate. Who knew that the reason why everything was going smoothly was because of this man behind the scenes?
How ironic for him to think that he had luck to that extent ...
Gu Ruoyun laughed sarcastically, "Young master Dongfang, I originally thought I obtained the Hundred Herb Hall with my own abilities, but now it doesn't seem like that's the case."
