At this time, there were only a few people walking in and out of Hundred Herb Hall. Gu Ruoyun saw Elder Yu sitting in the main hall with his eyes closed as soon as she entered. As if sensing her presence, Elder Yu opened his eyes slightly and smiled lightly: "You're here?"
"Yes, I'm here."
Gu Ruoyun only nodded in acknowledgment of the other people in Hundred Herb Hall and didn't say anything else.
"Let's go, we'll talk in the inner room. Also, someone wants to see you."
"Alright."
Gu Ruoyun hadn't had the time to come here ever since she left Hundred Herb Hall. This time, apart from finding a place to stay, she also had some orders to pass on.
And this would be the first step in her rise to power.
A light breeze blew through the elegant inner room, and the snow-white curtains fluttered in the wind.
As soon as Gu Ruoyun walked in, she saw a man standing with his back facing her. He was dressed in luxurious embroidered robes and had an awe-inspiring aura. Just the sight of his back alone was enough to give off such an oppressive feeling.
"Young Master, I've brought the person you wanted."
Young Master?
Gu Ruoyun raised her eyebrows slightly. Could this man be the power behind Hundred Herb Hall?
To be honest, the people of Azure Dragon Country only knew that the power behind Hundred Herb Hall was powerful. Any power that offended Hundred Herb Hall would disappear the next day. However, no one knew who the master behind Hundred Herb Hall was. To them, this was a mystery.
So, the moment the man turned around, Gu Ruoyun's eyes flashed with amazement.
Elegant and cultured, these two words were the most appropriate to describe this man. His smile was like a cool breeze caressing one's face, extremely comfortable.
And for some reason, Gu Ruoyun wanted to get closer to him …
"You're Gu Ruoyun? Gu Tian's daughter? Not bad, you really have the strength of character that Gu Tian had back then. Those who insulted you and called you trash were really blind. "
The man saw Gu Tian's shadow in the girl in front of him, and had a good impression of her in his heart.
Gu Ruoyun was startled: "You know my father?"
"That's right, your father and I are old acquaintances. It's a pity that the heavens are jealous of geniuses, and this is the mainland's eternal loss. Luckily, that guy was powerful enough to give birth to a son who was accepted as a disciple of the Spirit Sect. Now, your daughter is also so outstanding. If he could see this scene, I wonder how gratified he'd be."
The man sighed.
However, upon hearing his words, Gu Ruoyun's heart skipped a beat. Old Man Gu had never told her where her brother had gone, but now, she finally knew his whereabouts. The Spiritual Sect? I wonder what kind of power the Spirit Sect is …
"You're the master of Hundred Herb Hall?"
She lifted her eyes and looked at the man in front of her.
The man laughed lightly: "That's right, I'm the master of this Hundred Herb Hall. My name is Dongfang Shaoze, but your parents and I are old acquaintances. If you don't mind, you can call me uncle. I know a thing or two about your parents, but now is not the time to tell you."
Now, Gu Ruoyun finally understood how Hundred Herb Hall could change hands so easily.
At that time, she just wanted to give it a try and didn't have much hope. Who knew that it would go so smoothly? It turned out that it was because of the man behind her.
It was ridiculous that she thought her luck would be this good …
Gu Ruoyun laughed self-deprecatingly: "Young Master Dongfang, I'd originally thought that I'd obtained Hundred Herb Hall through my own abilities. It looks like that's not the case."
