Gu Xianglin's self-sacrificing words fell into everyone's ears. Coupled with his stern expression, no one could doubt his intentions. After all, he was different from Second Master Gu. No matter how greedy he was, he wouldn't show it on his face.
However …
Gu Ruoyun smiled, her clear eyes full of ridicule: "Then should I thank you for taking on the danger for me?"
"Of course."
Gu Xianglin raised his arrogant face: "Little sister Ruoyun, with Hundred Herb Hall being so high profile, have you ever thought about what kind of danger they'll be in? Don't think that just because your Hundred Herb Hall has been safe and sound for the past three years doesn't mean that no one will come to steal the pill formulas! That's because those powers have been preparing for something these past three years, and no one has had the time to bother with your Hundred Herb Hall! Not to mention, the Beauty Rejuvenation Pill isn't very attractive. However, this time, the appearance of the Longevity Pill will definitely attract countless powers to fight over it. You're in Hundred Herb Hall, so it's impossible for you to stay out of this! “
"Also …" Gu Xianglin paused, then sneered, "Our Cool Breeze Faction won't let go of such a good opportunity! Little sister Ruoyun, do you think a tiny Hundred Herb Hall can compare to the Cool Breeze Faction? I'm only advising you because you're of the Gu family's bloodline. If it were anyone else, don't even think about it! “
It was obvious that if he didn't obtain the pill formula for the Longevity Pill today, Gu Xianglin wouldn't leave this place! Whether it was through threats or promises, they had to hand over the pill formula!
"You're right. Our Hundred Herb Hall is no match for your Cool Breeze Faction."
Originally, everyone thought that with Gu Ruoyun's temper, she would rather die than submit. They didn't think that she would suddenly say something like this. Caught off guard, everyone stared blankly at the girl's delicate face in astonishment.
At this moment, no one noticed that when the girl lowered her gaze, a trace of cunning flashed across her eyes.
Afterwards, she slowly raised her head, her eyes as clear as water carrying a trace of timidity. She said weakly: "Actually, the pill formula isn't in Elder Yu's hands. At that time, it was because I had this pill formula that Elder Yu accepted me. If you want the pill formula, you can ask me directly. As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. I don't want to become enemies with your Cool Breeze Faction, so if you don't make things difficult for me, I'll give the pill formula to you."
This was within Gu Xianglin's expectations.
He'd thought a lot these past few days. Why would the dignified Hundred Herb Hall protect an orphan girl like Gu Ruoyun? Why would the arrogant Ghost Doctor acknowledge someone who'd never studied medicine as her master?
There was only one obvious reason for this and that was that Gu Ruoyun had something that the two of them could only dream of.
That thing was the legendary pill formula!
He really didn't know what kind of luck this orphan girl had, to be able to obtain the pill formula and use it to blackmail Elder Yu and the Ghost Doctor! And the pills of Hundred Herb Hall were definitely made by the Ghost Doctor. Aside from her, who else in this world could learn the art of refining pills so quickly?
"Little sister Ruoyun, don't worry. When I become the head of the Cool Breeze Faction, I definitely won't mistreat you." Gu Xianglin smiled. He never thought that things would be so easy.
Who said that this girl Gu Ruoyun's bones had hardened? That was only because she had the support of Elder Yu and the Ghost Doctor. Now that she heard that many people would come to fight for the pill formula, she immediately became afraid. See, she obediently handed over the pill formula.
