The study fell silent once more. After a while, the middle-aged man's voice sounded again. This time, his breathing had clearly quickened.
"Keep this pill recipe safe for now. Bring it to me when you return."
"Yes, godfather!"
Gu Xianglin was very excited. He could imagine the scene of him gaining his godfather's complete trust and being appointed as the Young Sect Master …
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Gu Xianglin furrowed his brows and cut off the call with the middle-aged man. He raised his head and saw Second Master Gu enter the study. His furrowed brows relaxed.
"Father, is there something you need from me?"
"This …" Second Master Gu rubbed his fists and chuckled, "I heard that you snatched the two pill recipes from Gu Ruoyun?"
Gu Xianglin nodded and looked at Second Master Gu suspiciously: "That's right. I want to pledge my loyalty to godfather. With this pill recipe, I can become the successor of the Cool Breeze Faction."
"Stupid, you're really stupid!"
Second Master Gu said somewhat exasperatedly: "What's so great about the Cool Breeze Faction? They can't even compare to the Dongfang family. However, I know someone from another force. That force is very strong! They're much stronger than the Dongfang family and the Weapon Refining Sect. If we offer the pill recipe to that force, our Gu family will receive many benefits. "
More than ten years ago, he had helped that force plot against Gu Tian. However, because they didn't find Gu Tian's corpse in the end, that force retracted the benefits they had given him in a fit of anger. In addition, apart from keeping an eye on Gu Shengxiao and Gu Ruoyun for the past ten years, they hadn't done anything else. If he offered the pill recipe to that force, with that force's strength, just a few benefits would be enough for him to act like a tyrant in Azure Dragon Country.
Thinking of this, Second Master Gu licked his lips and looked at Gu Xianglin with a grin.
Gu Xianglin furrowed his brows: "Father, that force you're talking about is …"
"This, I'm not too sure either," Second Master Gu shook his head and said with a face full of reverence, "Although I don't know where that force comes from, I know how strong that force is! For example, a force like the Cool Breeze Faction. Any random person from that place could flatten the entire Cool Breeze Faction. Think about it, how much power would it take to do that? "
Gu Xianglin's heart trembled. Any random person could flatten the Cool Breeze Faction? In this world, there were probably only three forces that possessed such strength …
How could Father possibly know such a powerful expert? Could it be that he said all this just to swindle away his pill formula?
After weighing the pros and cons, Gu Xianglin slowly said, "Father, I want to meet the people from that force. If that force really has the ability, I'm willing to give them the pills."
Second Master Gu knew that his son didn't believe him, but he wasn't angry. After all, if he could obtain those benefits, he wouldn't even need to fear the Dongfang Family! Furthermore, he was going to return the humiliation that Dongfang Shaoze had given him that day!
"Alright, I'll take you to see the people from that faction. However, you mustn't let your grandfather know about this."
Otherwise, that old man would definitely know the cause of Gu Tian's death …
Although the old man had always been selfish, he really valued his son, Gu Tian. After all, more than ten years ago, Gu Tian was a rare genius! With him around, who would dare to disrespect the Gu family?
But ever since his death, the Gu Family had been bullied and humiliated many times. This kind of disparity almost drove the old man crazy. How could he have the guts to let him know that he had helped those people kill Gu Tian?
