Just when Second Master Gu was about to say something, a thunderous shout could be heard from some distance away, “Who the hell allowed all of you to disturb my people in the Hundred Herb Hall? Where is Manager Zhao? You better come out now!”
Elder Yu was just on his way to inspect the Hundred Herb Hall when he unexpectedly came across the scene of Gu Ruoyun being blocked by the Gu family. Instantly, his anger began to boil with rage.
Having heard him, one of the workers who stood near him answered while cowering, “Reporting to Elder Yu, Manager Zhao has gone out to see a patient.”
“Gone out to see a patient? Hurmph! How could he go out now at this time to see a patient?! Now that Gu Ruoyun is already a member of the Hundred Herb Hall, I will not allow anybody to come and disturb her peace! Somebody go strip the clothes off these sons of a bitch and throw them out now! Next time, just throw them out if they ever come again! Let them come as many times as they like if they are not afraid of making a fool out of themselves!”
Gu Ruoyun did not really want to cause a scene right now. After all, she wanted to fend off the Gu family. This was precisely why she still would not let Elder Yu reveal the fact that she was already the master of the Hundred Herb Hall. Otherwise, with the amount of greed that the Gu family possessed, it would not be a stretch to think that she would have a hard time shaking them off.
“Yes, master.”
The group of guards who were following closely behind Elder Yu rushed forward instantly. Without even giving the Gu family the slightest chance to resist, the group of guards ripped their clothes off completely and then threw them out to the crowds. It was still acceptable if the Second Master Gu was the only one who received this treatment. However, the Second Madam was treated the same way as well and she felt so ashamed that she wanted to die on the spot. Her hatred and resentment for Gu Ruoyun multiplied instantly.
“You little bitch! Just you wait! I will make you pay for this when I come back again next time! No, wait, it’s not just that! I’m going to make you go through all sorts of torture and suffering as well!”
Perhaps it was because she could feel the hatred that was deeply enrooted in the glare of the Second Madam, it made Gu Ruoyun looked directly into her eyes. Her pair of bright, clear eyes showed no fear nor any signs of flinching. All there was to it was only a faint little smile that was playing on the corner of her lips.
Presently, everybody that was around was whispering and chattering about the naked Gu family. Even the thick-faced Second Master Gu could not bear to lift his head up high. This time, the Gu family had really made a fool out of themselves.
Without as much as a glance towards them, Gu Ruoyun turned away and walked into the Hundred Herb Hall. Elder Yu who was following very closely behind, conducted himself with restraint.
“Tell me, what actually happened?”
Striding forward, Gu Ruoyun took a seat and smiled at Elder Yu.
It was obvious that all of these had something to do with Dongfang Shaoze.
“This…” Elder Yu said awkwardly, “Well actually, the young master just wanted to avenge you. The Gu family always go too far in bullying other people which was why young master decided to give them an impossible task in order to torment them. We never thought that they would run into you at the entrance, Lady Gu. This is all Manager Zhao’s fault! Young master had specifically instructed him to not let the Gu family meet you at all but he just happened to be out at this moment. When he comes back later, I will see that he gets his punishment.”

“There is no need for punishment.” Lifting up a cup of tea that was by the side of the chair, Gu Ruoyun took a small sip before putting it down again and said, “It’s just that from now on, please do inform me if you are going to do anything. At the very least, I could be prepared for it.”
Elder Yu gave out a burst of laughter before becoming serious once more. “That’s right, Lady Gu. I have found the people that you have asked for. All of these people are orphans. Be that as it may, they all have some potential. Even though they might not become some peerless geniuses after undergoing training and cultivation, but they would definitely turn out to be quite decent.”
“Oh?” Raising a brow, Gu Ruoyun asked, “Where are they right now? Bring me to them.”
“Yes, Lady Gu. Follow me please.”
As he finished that sentence, he stood up to lead the way with Gu Ruoyun trailing closely behind him. Together, they walked out of the Hundred Herb Hall.
