Once the Honorable Sir Tianqi had left, the old man turned away and said, "Ze'er, take care of the guests. I'll go and prepare for the Trials."
"Father, don't worry. I'll take care of these people. You can go in peace."
Dongfang Shaoze spoke gently as his handsome face lit up with a smile.
Hearing this, the old man did not say anything else. He waved his hand and walked towards the meeting hall, quickly disappearing from sight.
As soon as he left, the entire courtyard was in an uproar.
This was probably a banquet they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
So it turns out that Madam Lan of the Dongfang family was the Honorable Sir Tianqi's younger sister. No one on the mainland knew about this. Even Dongfang Yu's daughter, the mysterious Master of the Hundred Herb Hall, had returned to the Dongfang family.
Furthermore, she had reached the rank of a Martial Emperor at such a young age...
If news of this were to get out, the entire mainland would be in an uproar.
"Ahem."
Dongfang Shaoze coughed dryly. At that moment, his expression was no longer as stirred as it had been in the past. His gentle brows gradually sank as he spoke in a stern voice, "Everyone, you have not seen or heard anything today. If I were to hear any unfavorable comments from the outside, I believe that everyone here is well aware of the Dongfang family's methods!"
No matter what, he could not allow Yun'er's talents to be leaked to the outside world. Especially that pill which could help a Martial Emperor breakthrough. If word of this were to get out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Yes, Young Master."
Hearing this, the crowd returned to their senses and replied respectfully.
They were well aware of the Dongfang family's methods. Besides, they were now under the jurisdiction of the Dongfang family. Naturally, they would not disobey the Dongfang family's orders.
However, whether or not everyone thought the same way was hard to say.
Lin Yue'er clenched her fists and glared hatefully and enviously at the direction that Gu Ruoyun had left. A cold smile hung from the corners of her lips, carrying a hint of mockery.
"Gu Ruoyun, so what if you have great powers? So what if you have extraordinary abilities? Do you really think that you can fight against the Three Great Authorities with your powers alone? If word of the pill in your possession gets out, the Three Great Authorities will certainly hunt you down! Don't be fooled by the Three Great Authorities because they act like gentlemen in front of the world. In reality, they will do anything to increase their powers. "
This woman is digging her own grave!
...
In the rear courtyard, just as Gu Ruoyun was about to push the door open and enter, an elderly voice rang out from behind her.
"Stupid girl, I have something to talk to you about."
Gu Ruoyun raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the old man with his hands clasped behind his back with a smile, "What? Do you want grandma to ignore you? "
"You …" The old man glared at her in anger. He hadn't even settled the score with her, but she actually used Ge 'er to threaten him. "I'm here to look for you, lass. Actually, you shouldn't have given the pill to your grandmother during the birthday celebration. Do you know how many people would be eyeing you if word of your actions were to get out? Especially those hypocrites from the Immortal Realm. If word of this reaches their ears, I'm afraid that the Dongfang family won't be able to protect you. "
Even though the old man's tone was filled with reproach, his words were filled with concern that warmed Gu Ruoyun's heart.
"I know."
She knew that her actions would bring great danger to herself, but if she didn't do this, it would be difficult to shut everyone's mouths, and it might even bring trouble to her grandparents.
