“Second Brother, you can’t just stand by and do nothing!” Gu Zhicheng exclaimed in anger.
Gu Zhixin, the second young master of the Gu family, casually sipped his tea. “Big Brother, I understand your concern seeing Sister-in-law in that state, but whether Mr. Liu saves her or not is not within my control. He is a distinguished guest we have worked hard to invite, and it wouldn’t be good to constantly trouble him. As the servant who delivered the message said, Mr. Liu is not very pleased. If Sister-in-law’s injuries are severe, it’s possible to seek a better doctor for treatment, but it may take longer for her to recover and she might have to endure some pain. Causing Mr. Liu any displeasure over such a trivial matter would create unnecessary complications. Big brother, we need to prioritize the bigger picture! ”
Gu Zhicheng was furious. “I’m asking you one question: Can we or can we not get Mr. Liu to help?”
Gu Zhixin smiled and remained silent.
“Fine, I got it!” Gu Zhicheng left in anger.
Gu Jinrong entered the room. “Father, I found out the truth. It was a child causing trouble.”
“A child?”
‘Yes, Gu Qingluan’s disciple. We saw him before when we were at sea. He’s young but incredibly powerful. ”
Gu Jinrong sneered. “Aunt-in-law held a grudge against Gu Qingluan and wanted to capture that child to use as leverage against her. But it seems her plan backfired.”
“Is that child really that formidable? We have many skilled experts in the main branch!’
“He is indeed extraordinary. We suffered a loss against him on the ship.”
Gu Zhixin said, “In the future, let’s not provoke Gu Qingluan and her disciple if there’s no need. Let the main branch play their games while we focus on building a good relationship with the Island of No Return. Once we’ve grown stronger, it won’t be difficult to deal with them.”
“Father, you’re right. ‘
The father and son agreed, unaware of the treacherous ally among them.
Since her disfigurement and humiliation by Gu Qingluan during their encounter at sea, Gu Jinyue harbored a deep hatred towards her and had always wanted revenge.
She had thought that returning to the Gu family would give her the opportunity to fulfill her desires. However, even her uncle couldn’t defeat Gu Qingluan, and now Wang Shi had also fallen into trouble.
Guo Jinyue was unable to harm Gu Qingluan and grew increasingly impatient.
Gu Qin’er invited her to a meeting at the Gu Manor, and she agreed to go.
The two of them plotted in secret, deciding to hire a skilled mercenary from the black market to secretly abduct Gu Xiao Nan. This way, they wouldn’t have to worry about their identities being exposed. Even if the mission failed, Gu Qingluan wouldn’t be able to trace it back to them.
However, before they could put their plan into action, Wang Shi’s condition rapidly deteriorated.
The Gu family invited renowned physicians from Tianjing, but none of them could offer a solution.
“Master Gu, I regret to inform you that I am powerless. I cannot determine the nature of the poison within Madam Gu’s body, and thus, I cannot save her.” The physicians who came to examine her
reached the same conclusion.
Gu Zhicheng was shocked and angry. “You all claim to be esteemed doctors, yet you cannot even identify the poison? Are your reputations all false?’
These physicians were all well-known figures, but they were infuriated by his words and left in a huff.
Gu Zhicheng had no choice but to turn to the second branch for help.
Gu Zhixin looked troubled. “Mr. Liu is in a delicate position. I’m not sure if it’s appropriate for me to approach him personally.”
“Gu Zhixin, are you really going to stand idly by and watch someone die?” Gu Zhicheng raised his voice.
Gu Zhixin’s expression darkened. “Brother, your words are hurtful. It’s not for me to decide whether Mr. Liu will save her or not. ‘
“He’s staying in your house. Go and plead with him. How can he refuse when you ask him?” Gu Zhicheng’s frustration grew.
‘You… Previously, it was thanks to him that both Gu Jinrong, Gu Jinyue, and your daughter Gu Qin’er were saved. Do you really think of him as a living Bodhisattva? You ask for help whenever you need it! Three strikes and you’re out! Don’t you understand?’
The two of them argued fiercely, eventually escalating into a physical fight.
Chaos erupted in the Gu estate.
On the elevated pavilion of the Gu estate, Liu Meng sipped his wine and observed the scene. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
“It’s a pity that Miss Gu didn’t witness this spectacle. She would have been delighted.”
Although Gu Qingluan didn’t witness it firsthand, she soon heard about the fight between the Gu Zhicheng brothers. They ended up bruised and battered, causing quite a stir and becoming the new laughingstock of Tianjing City.
She didn’t pay too much attention to it and spent some time in Stellar Space. Finally, she managed to persuade Tianxing to cooperate with her.
Not only did she successfully leave Stellar Space, but she also formed a contract with it.
After the contract, she realized that Stellar Space was even more powerful than she had known. Unfortunately, it was severely damaged, and now only a part of it could be used, with its rank dropping from a Super Divine Artifact to a Divine Artifact.
Nevertheless, Stellar Space was still formidable.
The flow of time in that space was ten times faster than the outside world.
What took her half a day in the outside world would pass as three or four days in Stellar Space.
Furthermore, the spiritual energy in the Stellar Space was much denser than in the Cloud Plains Continent, even surpassing most places in the Tianji
Continent. Her cultivation progress in Stellar Space was twice as efficient.
What surprised her further was that Stellar Space had a hidden library that housed many precious ancient books. Any of these books would be sought after by the outside world.
And now, all of them belonged to her!
With good fortune on her side, Gu Qingluan had been in a very good mood recently.
Seeing her happy, Feng Yuanxi also felt delighted and followed her like a shadow every day.
Gu Qingluan found it strange that her son had become so clingy, but she never doubted his identity. Her attention shifted to the upcoming auction!
This auction was highly anticipated and tickets were hard to come by!
