Chapter 40: Qianbei Ye Is Jealous (1)
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Now, there were only a few people moving around in the Hundred Herb Hall and Gu Ruoyun saw Elder Yu with his eyes closed when she walked in. As though noticing her presence, Elder Yu opened his eyelids slightly and he chuckled lightly, "You came?"
"Yes, I came."
Considering the fact that there were others in the hall, Gu Ruoyun only nodded and said nothing else.
"Let's go, we'll talk in the inner chamber. Furthermore, there's someone who would like to meet you."
"Sure."
Ever since she last left the Hundred Herb Hall, Gu Ruoyun have not had time to return to this place. Coming back this time, not only did she found a place to stay but most importantly there were a few orders that needed to be passed on.
Even more so, this would be her first step towards rising upwards.
In the elegant inner chamber, a light breeze gently passed by, with the snow-white curtains swaying along.
Just as Gu Ruoyun entered, she saw the man standing with his face to her - he was clad in prime luxurious silk clothing, his manners were awe-inspiring and imposing. Just by staring at his back, there was already a huge imposing pressure, which really said something about this man's ability.
"Young master, I have brought the person that you wanted."
"Young master?"
Gu Ruoyun's brow arched slightly. Could it be that this man is the driving force behind the Hundred Herb Hall?
Frankly speaking, the people of Azure Dragon Country only knew that the Hundred Herb Hall had a powerful faculty behind it. But those who have offended the power of the Hundred Herb Hall would disappear the very next day. Nonetheless, no one knew who the owner behind the Hundred Herb Hall was; it was a mystery to all of them.
Thus, the moment the man turned around, amazement flashed within Gu Ruoyun's eyes.
Dignified and refined - there were no two words more suitable to describe this man. When he smiled, it was as if she was being caressed on the face by a soft breeze. It was very comfortable.
Also, Gu Ruoyun did not know why she had this urge get closer to him…
"You are Gu Ruoyun? Gu Tian's daughter? Not bad, you have Gu Tian's former vigor. Those who have ridiculed you as a nobody 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 favorable impression towards her.
Gu Ruoyan was stupefied, "You knew my father?"
"That's right. Your father and I could be considered as an old friend. It's a pity the heavens were jealous of heroic geniuses, who was a permanent loss for this land. Luckily, that fellow was capable enough to give birth to a son who was accepted as a disciple by the Spirit Sect. Now, with an exceptional daughter like you, I don't know how relieved he would be if only he could see this."
The man slightly sighed.
Nonetheless, when she heard his answer, Gu Ruoyun felt a tug on her heart. Old man Gu never mentioned where his older brother went and now, she finally knew his whereabouts. Spirit Sect?
What kind of ability does this Spirit Sect have?
"You are the master of the Hundred Herb Hall?"
She lifted her eyes a little and looked at the man in front of her.
The man chuckled shortly, "Yes, I am the master of the Hundred Herb Hall. My name is Dongfang Shaoze, but your parents and I were old friends, so if you don't mind you could call me uncle. I know a thing or two about your parents, it's just that I cannot tell you about it now."
Gu Ruoyun finally understood why the Hundred Herb Hall changed things around so easily.
At that time, she was only trying out her luck and was completely hopeless. Who knew that the reason why everything went smoothly was because of this man behind the scene?
How ironic it was for her to think that she had such good luck to that extent…
Gu Ruoyun laughed sardonically, "Young master Dongfang, I originally thought I got the Hundred Herb Hall by my own capabilities, but now it seemed that wasn't the case."
