“That was only one of the reasons why you have won Hundred Herb Hall. Another reason was that you are very capable.” The man smiled and rubbed Gu Ruoyun’s head, his eyes full of affection as he said, “I really don’t know how your life was at the Gu family, that you, a perfectly normal fifteen year old girl would actually become this mature and cold. It hurts my heart as a close friend of your parents.”

Dongfang Shaoze sighed helplessly, but the corner of his lips held a smile.

Elder Yu watched all of this from the side, feeling sad for his young master. He knew that young master had wanted to meet Gu Ruoyun for a very long time, but he had not wanted to endanger her by connecting her with the Dongfang family, so he had always avoided meeting her.

Even when they finally met, he couldn’t acknowledge her as his niece…

“Hm? And this is?”

Suddenly, Dongfang Shaoze felt a ruthlessly fierce aura from behind Gu Ruoyun. He turned to look at the silver-haired man standing behind her, and upon meeting those blood-red pupils, his heart shook. How many people did you have to kill to get such heartless and bloodthirsty eyes? The anger exuding off his body made Dongfang Shaoze’s body tense up.

“Oh, you mean him?” Gu Ruoyun glanced at Qianbei Ye, “I picked him up from outside.”

Picked him up?

The corner of Dongfang Shaoze’s mouth twitched, did she think that this person was like a stray cat or dog? That you could simply pick one up off the street? Also, just now, Dongfang Shaoze had experienced how quickly someone could change their expression.

At the moment that Gu Ruoyun had turned around, the man that had been looking at him unhappily had immediately switched to an aggrieved expression. Looking at that expression, it was as if someone had bullied him…

“Young master Dongfang, surely you won’t mind arranging two rooms for us?”

Gu Ruoyun’s words brought Dongfang Shaoze back to his senses. He shook his head and smiled: “You’re the owner of Hundred Herb Hall from now on, this place is your territory. If you want to arrange for rooms, then you can do it yourself. I came to Azure Dragon Country this time because I heard that you would come out of the Heavenly Spirit Formation today. I’ll be leaving after another two days, but I’ll leave Elder Yu to help you.”

“Okay,” Gu Ruoyun nodded, “Xiao Ye, let’s go.”

Qianbei Ye glanced once more at Dongfang Shaoze before he turned and followed Gu Ruoyun out of the inner hall.

The moment they disappeared, Dongfang Shaoze’s expression sunk bit by bit.

“Elder Yu, investigate that man’s identity for me!”

“Young master?” Surprise flashed through his eyes, “Is there a problem with that man? I can’t feel any spiritual power from his body.”

Dongfang Shaoze sneered: “I have a feeling that that man is very strong, and that even my father wouldn’t be his match!”

“What?”

Elder Yu widened his eyes in shock, even the master wasn’t his match? The master was already a martial king, if even the master couldn’t beat him, then how strong was that man?

“I want to know why this man has appeared by Yun’er’s side! I will never let anyone harm my sister’s flesh and blood, whether it’s this man, or the Gu family!”

Gu Ruoyun had been beaten to death by Old Man Gu. He had no knowledge of this until it was too late, otherwise he would not have allowed his sister’s child to be lost.

“I don’t want to help Yun’er grow, as I want to see her true power, but that doesn’t mean that I’ll allow others to do as they will! Especially everything that happened in the imperial palace today! The Gu family… can’t be touched for now, but we can create some trouble for them. Elder Yu, help me prepare everything, I’m going to visit the Gu family!”
