Chapter 167: The Dispute Over Pills (3)


    “Rewards?” The grey-robed elder sneered. “You had two forms but only gave me one. You’re still thinking of getting rewards? I’m already letting you leave with your lives intact out of consideration for two pill forms! Gu Ming, is this how you’ve raised your son? He’s actually demanding rewards from me?”


    Thump!


    Second Master Gu was so scared that he kneeled down. While trembling, he said: “My lord, there’s something wrong with my son’s mind. Please don’t bother with him; he didn’t mean it. We’re meant to serve you, my lord, so it’s only natural that we gave you those two forms. We won’t ask for any rewards.”


    “Hmph!” The grey-robed elder, frigid in his countenance, scoffed and said, “I’m going back to study these forms. Don’t call me if there’s nothing to report. Also, don’t forget the mission I gave you back then.”


    Second Master Gu’s body trembled. He wanted to speak up, but the elder’s figure slowly faded and disappeared right before his very own eyes.


    From start to finish, Gu Xianglin had been staring straight at Second Master Gu. His disappointment and deep pain were self-evident.


    “Didn’t you tell me that he would bring us endless rewards if we gave him the pill forms? So why is it that I’m left with nothing after I gave him what he wanted?”


    Hearing this, Second Master Gu was unhappy and said: “If you hadn’t tried to hide thest form, we wouldn’t have ended up with nothing! This expert is prone to a bad temper. If something displeases him, he’ll totally renege on his previous promise! Wasn’t it you who ruined everything?”


    Back then, he had helped this person execute the murder of Gu Tian. However, it was because they hadn’t found Gu Tian’s body that he had reneged on the promise back then.


    Thus, if Gu Xianglin hadn’t concealed thest form, this wouldn’t have happened.


    It was all his fault!


    Fate was surelyughing as, with impable timing, a grave voice sounded from themunication token in Gu Xianglin’s hands: “Lin’er, I don’t think it’s safe to leave the pill form with you alone, so I’ll send some experts to escort you back. Hello? Lin’er, can you hear me? Lin’er...”


    The man’s voice kept calling, but Gu Xianglin didn’t reply. He gripped the token in his hands, a bitter smile hanging at the corner of his lips.


    This time, he had really shot his own foot!


    Not only had he lost two pill forms, but now it was inevitable that he would eventually lose his foster father’s trust in him...


    “This is all Gu Ruoyun’s fault!”


    That’s right, it was all that woman’s fault!


    If she hadn’t given the pill forms to him, this wouldn’t have happened! So this was all her fault!


    “Young Master, Young Master, something bad happened!”


    As he strode out of the secret room, they heard an anxious voice calling. Following that, one of the disciples ran in, gasping for breath as he said: “Young Master, news has spread across the entire maind that Young Master has two pill forms in hand. Countless experts are heading this way right now...”


    Whoosh!


    Gu Xianglin’s mind abruptly crashed. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He felt giddy and weak, almost copsing in a mess on the floor.


    “I’m done for. This time, I’m really done for... Who? Who spread the news?”


    Gu Ruoyun!


    Suddenly, Gu Xianglin thought of that pretty face, and hatred filled him.


    Who else could have spread the news so quickly aside from Hundred Herb Hall?


    No wonder she had handed over the pill forms so obediently. She had been nning to trick him all along!


    Good; very well! Gu Ruoyun, you were the one who forced me into this mess! I definitely won’t let you live!
