"Benefits?" The grey-robed elder sneered, "You had two pill formulas but only gave me one, and you still want benefits? The fact that I didn't make a move to kill you is already on account of these two pill formulas! Gu Ming, how did you teach your son? How dare you ask me for benefits? "
Thump!
Second Master Gu knelt down in fright, trembling as he said, "My Lord, my son has some mental issues. Please don't hold it against him, he didn't do it on purpose. We're here to serve you, my Lord, so it's only right that we give you these two pill formulas. We're not asking for any benefits at all."
"Hmph!" The grey-robed elder said coldly, "I'm going back to study the pill formulas first. Don't call me if there's nothing important. Also, don't forget the mission I gave you."
Second Master Gu's body trembled slightly. Just as he was about to say something, the elder's figure slowly faded from his sight until he disappeared.
From the beginning, Gu Xianglin had been glaring at Second Master Gu, his eyes filled with disappointment and deep pain …
"You told me that if I gave him the pill formulas, I would receive countless benefits? But I've already given him the pill formulas, so why didn't I get any benefits at all? "
Hearing this, Second Master Gu retorted angrily, "If you hadn't hidden one at the end, I wouldn't have been left with no benefits at all! This Lord has always had a bad temper. If there's anything he's not satisfied with, he'll go back on his promise! So, isn't it all your own fault? "
Back then, he had helped this person plot against Gu Tian, but because he couldn't find Gu Tian's corpse, he took back his promise.
So if Gu Xianglin hadn't hidden it, this wouldn't have happened.
Everything was his fault!
At this moment, a powerful voice sounded from the communication token in Gu Xianglin's hand, "Lin 'er, I don't think it's safe to leave the pill formulas with you, so I'll send some experts to receive you later. Hey, Lin 'er, can you hear me? Lin 'er … "
The man's voice lingered in his ears, but Gu Xianglin didn't reply. He gripped the communication token tightly, a bitter smile hanging from the corners of his lips.
This time, he'd really shot himself in the foot!
Not only had he lost two pill formulas, he'd also lost his foster father's trust …
"Gu Ruoyun, this is all her fault!"
That's right, it was all because of this woman!
If he didn't hand over the pill formula to him at that time, there wouldn't be such an outcome in the end! All of this was her fault!
"Young Master, Young Master, something bad has happened!"
Just as he stepped out of the secret chamber, an anxious voice suddenly rang out. Shortly after, a disciple ran over while panting and said anxiously, "Young Master, the news has already spread across the continent. Everyone is saying that you've obtained two pill formulas. Countless experts from the various factions are heading here now …"
Buzz!
Gu Xianglin's brain immediately crashed. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He felt dizzy, his limbs weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
"It's over. This time, I'm completely finished … Who is it? Who spread the news? "
Gu Ruoyun!
Suddenly, Gu Xianglin remembered that pretty face, and he gritted his teeth in hatred!
Besides Hundred Herb Hall, who else could spread the news so quickly?
No wonder she had handed over the pill formula so easily. It turned out that she had plotted against him in such a place!
Good, very good! Gu Ruoyun, you forced me to do this! I definitely won't let you off easy!!!
