“That is one of the reason, the second would be the fact that you, little girl do actually have the skills.” The man touched Gu Ruoyun’s hand as he smiled, his eyes looked at her dotingly, “I really don’t know what kind of life you have had with the Gu family for a young fifteen-year-old girl like you to become this mature and cold at the same time. That really hurt me as your uncle, as I am still your parent’s friend, in any case.”
Dongfang Shaoze sighed helplessly, but the corner of his lips was filled with laughter.
Elder Yu stood by the side and watched it all. His heart was filled with grief; he understood that the young master wanted to meet Gu Ruoyun earlier on, but he did not want to drag her into the miseries of the Dongfang family which was why they could never meet.
Even if they do meet, they could not reunite…
“Hm? This person is?”
Suddenly, Dongfang Shaoze felt a violent foreboding air from behind Gu Ruoyun. He then turned his head and looked at the silver-haired man that was behind her. The moment his eyes met the man’s bloody eyes, his heart skipped a beat. Just how many people has he killed to have such a pair of heartless murderous eyes? Especially with the rage that was coming from him, Dongfang Shaoze’s body clearly tensed up.
“Oh, you mean him?” Gu Ruoyun glanced at Qianbei Ye, “I picked him up outside.”
Picked up?
The corner of Dongfang Shaoze’s lip twitched. Did she really think that this person was like some stray cat or dog that could simply be picked off the streets? However, just at that moment, Dongfang Shaoze experienced what was known as the swift face switching.
The man who was formerly displeased when he saw Dongfang Shaoze immediately changed into a sad expression the moment Gu Ruoyun turned her head. With that look, he would have thought someone else had bullied him if he had not known…
“Young master Dongfang, you wouldn’t mind arranging two rooms for us right?”
Gu Ruoyun’s question snapped Dongfang Shaoze back from his stupor. He shook his head and smiled, “From now on, you’re the master of the Hundred Herb Hall; this is your territory now. If you need rooms to be arranged, you can do it by yourself. The reason I returned to the Azure Dragon Country was because I heard that you’ve left the Heavenly Spirit Formation. I should be leaving in a couple more days but I’ll leave Yu Lao here to help you out.”
“Good,” Gu Ruoyun nodded, “Xiao Ye, let’s go.”
Qianbei Ye gave Dongfang Shaoze a look before turning around and followed Gu Ruoyun, leaving the Hundred Herb Hall.
The moment they disappeared, Dongfang Shaoze’s face sunk a little by little.
“Elder Yu investigate that man’s identity for me!”
“Young master?” There was a glimpse of astonishment in the depth of Yu Lao’s eyes, “Does that man have any problems? I cannot feel any spiritual force pulse on him.”
Dongfang Shaoze sneered, “I got a gut feeling that that man is so powerful that even father wouldn’t be a match for him!”

“What?”
Elder Yu’s eyes widened in surprise. Even the master of the household could not be his match? The fact that the master of the household was already at the Martial King level and if even the master cannot defeat him, just how powerful could he be?
“I want to know the purpose of why this man appeared before Yun’er! I will absolutely not allow anyone to hurt my sister’s flesh and blood, no matter whether it is that man or the Gu family!”
It wasn’t the fact that he did not know about the incident where Gu Ruoyun was slowly beaten to death by old man Gu but instead, he was too late, or else he would not have allowed his sister’s offspring to be taken away like that.
“I didn’t really intend to help Yun’er grow since I wanted to see her true capabilities, but that doesn’t mean I can tolerate these behaviors from them! Especially with what happened at the palace today! The Gu family… They still can’t be terminated for now but we can cause a little trouble here and there. Elder Yu, help me prepare. I am paying the Gu family a visit!”
