Thinking of this, Wei Yiyi was filled with rage. She wanted nothing more than to stab that stinking brat in the chest a few times.
At this moment, in the inn, Old Man Gu was cowering as he looked at the extremely ugly woman in front of him. He said fearfully: "Elder, this … this has nothing to do with me. It's all that stinking brat Gu Ruoyun. It's all her fault, she lied to me!"
Elder Mei's expression was ice-cold, and her body exuded an endless frost. Her hand landed heavily on the table, and with a bang, the table broke into two. Old Man Gu was so frightened that he trembled a few times.
At this moment, Old Man Gu cursed Second Master Gu half to death in his heart. It was all that damned brat's fault. Otherwise, why would he have to bow and scrape to a woman?
"General Gu, your son promised me that as long as you found the corpses of Gu Tian and his wife, you would receive a Beauty Rejuvenation Pill. This pill is what our Master needs, but in the end, is this how you work for our Plum Faction? You can't even find two corpses? "
Old Man Gu was truly suffering in silence. Back then, they hadn't been able to find the corpses of Gu Tian and his wife. Now that more than ten years had passed, where were they supposed to go to find them?
"Elder Mei, listen to my explanation. From the beginning, Gu Ruoyun never intended to give me the pill. She did this on purpose to trick me! Previously, we had a disagreement because of some matters, so she purposely did this to create a misunderstanding between the Gu family and your Plum Faction. Our Gu family has always been loyal to the Plum Faction, so we definitely wouldn't do anything incompetent! "
At a time like this, Old Man Gu could only push all the blame onto Gu Ruoyun. He could even use the Plum Faction to help him produce that girl.
However, at this moment, a woman from the Plum Faction walked in from outside the door. She bowed and said: "Elder, Shopkeeper Zhao of Hundred Herb Hall requests an audience."
"Let him in." Elder Mei said with a frown.
Someone from Hundred Herb Hall?
Old Man Gu was stunned. Before he could react, Shopkeeper Zhao, dressed in sackcloth, walked in from outside.
"Elder Mei, I'm here on behalf of Miss Ruoyun to deliver something to you." Elder Zhao didn't hesitate and went straight to the point, "Although Old Man Gu purposely used two corpses to impersonate Gu Tian and his wife, Miss Ruoyun still asked Elder Yu for a Beauty Rejuvenation Pill before the auction. She planned to use it to exchange for their corpses, but …"
When she heard that there was still one Beauty Rejuvenation Pill, Elder Mei's eyes instantly brightened and her breathing quickened.
Shopkeeper Zhao sighed once again: "It's understandable that Miss Ruoyun missed her parents, so she used the pill as a condition. Now that the Gu family has done such a thing, this pill shouldn't have been taken out."
At this point, Shopkeeper Zhao noticed that Elder Mei's expression had visibly tensed up. He laughed in his heart and continued, "However, the Gu family's mistake shouldn't be borne by the Plum Faction. Thus, Miss Ruoyun intends to use the price of the second round of the auction to sell this pill to the Plum Faction."
Actually, Gu Ruoyun had her reasons for doing this.
To her, a Beauty Rejuvenation Pill could easily be used to refine a cauldron of pills. Exchanging a useless pill for 20 million gold coins and tricking the Gu family was worth it!
"Is what you're saying true?" Elder Mei's face was filled with joy.
To the Plum Faction, 20 million gold coins wasn't much. However, if it was put up for auction, even 20 million gold coins might not be enough to win the Beauty Rejuvenation Pill.
