Chapter 136: Three Years (1)
“Miss Ruoyun doesn’t go back on her word, unlike so people.” Shopkeeper Zhao cast a glance towards Old Man Gu, who was currently pale as a sheet. He sneered and said, “However, Elder i, a word of advice: this old fellow loves to stir up trouble for others and create sothing out of nothing. I hope you won’t listen to his one-sided words. This person even used a corpse to impersonate his own son; what wouldn’t he do?”
Elder i was a little ashad. If Shopkeeper Zhao hadn’t appeared, she probably would have believed Old Man Gu’s words and despised Gu Ruoyun. She might have even tried to do sothing to her...
“Shopkeeper Zhao, go back and tell Miss Ruoyun this: Gu Tian was a hero in the hearts of everyone, and as Gu Tian’s daughter, I believe that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. If she has so ti in the future, I will welco her as a guest in our Plum Faction.”
“I’ll let Miss Ruoyun know. I’ll take my leave now.”
Shopkeeper Zhao made a cupped fist salute before turning to leave without a second look at Old Man Gu.
Right after he left, the old man felt a pair of icy eyes watching him. He turned his head stiffly, and upon seeing Elder i’s frosty expression, he spoke up out of fright, “Elder i, let explain, it’s not like that...”
“Then tell , what’s the truth behind this matter?” Elder i sneered, “You didn’t put your all into your task, and you even tried to push all the bla onto an innocent girl. If Shopkeeper Zhao hadn’t co over to send the pill just now, I would have most likely believed your words!”
Just the thought of how this old fellow had almost played her for a fool was the source of overwhelming rage blooming inside Elder i’s heart. Her frosty gaze was practically sharp enough to pierce through Old Man Gu’s body.
“Elder i, I...”
“Enough!” Elder i briskly interrupted his words, “Our Plum Faction was considering helping your Gu family at first, but you were the one who didn’t seize the opportunity! Moreover, you’ve dug yourself into a hole you’ll never get out of!”
Cold...
Old Man Gu felt a chill all over his body, as if he had fallen into an igloo. He tried to open his mouth to continue explaining, but not a single sound ca out of his throat.
“General Gu, go back! The Gu family is no longer welco here with our Plum Faction! I’ll spare your life for today, but from now on, if my Plum Faction ets anyone from the Gu family, I’ll kill them as soon as I see them! I hope your family will never appear before my eyes again in the future. Otherwise, don’t bla for being impolite. Scram!!!”
That one word pushed Old Man Gu’s body back a few steps. His eyes were filled with despair.
The world was so big; who knew where the Plum Faction’s mbers might appear? If the Gu family’s people were going to lose their lives the mont they were seen by the Plum Faction, then that basically ant that the Gu family could never leave their ho at all.
The Plum Faction might even purposely appear outside the door of the Gu household and kill everyone in the family.
However, Old Man Gu was thinking too much. The Plum Faction was so busy already; where would they get the ti to take revenge on soone as insignificant as him? Even purposely going to the Gu household? This old fellow was thinking too highly of himself.
“Elder i, please have rcy on us.”
The old man trembled as he gave a cupped fist salute, the streaks of white hair against his temples making him a pitiful sight to behold.
Elder i’s expression turned impatient as she shouted: “If you’re not going to scram right now, I’ll make it so you’ll never be able to scram again!”
Bang!
A strong wind hit the old man like a punch, pushing him out and cutting off his cries for rcy along the way as the door slamd shut.
The Gu family had dug a hole for themselves this ti, even thoroughly offending the Plum Faction while they were at it...
