Evil Emperor's Wild Consort Chapter 136 Gu Ruoyun’s Insidious Plan 4

As Wei Yiyi thought about that again, she could not help but feel enraged and furious, wishing she could stab him multiple times in his chest.

Meanwhile, inside an inn, General Gu was looking at a woman who had an ugly expression on her face. Recoiling, he said, “Elder, this… this wasn’t my fault. It was all because of that cunning girl. It was all her fault! She was the one who had lied to me!”

Elder Mei’s countenance was as cold as ice and a freezing aura oozed from her body. She slammed her hands on to the table and with a ‘crack’, the table split into two halves just like that, making General Gu shiver in fear.

At this moment, General Gu was cursing Second Master Gu in his heart. It was all his fault that this was happening right now. Otherwise, would he need to bow and prostrate himself before this woman?

“General Gu, your son has made a promise to me before that as long as you managed to find the bodies of Gu Tian and his wife, you would be able to get a Beauty Rejuvenation Pill in return. This pill is needed by our master, is this how you handle affairs for us? You couldn’t even find two dead bodies?”

General Gu was at a loss for words. They had not been able to find the bodies of Gu Tian and his wife since the very beginning. Now that it had already been more than ten years, how exactly can they find it?

“Elder Mei, please let me explain. Since the very beginning, Gu Ruoyun had no intentions of giving me a pill at all. She had done this on purpose to embarrass me! There were some conflicts between us before this so she had intentionally created this misunderstanding between the Plum Sect and the Gu family. The Gu family has always been loyal and devoted to the Plum Sect, we would never slack in handling this matter at all!”

At this point, there was nothing else that General Gu could do other than to push all of the blame onto Gu Ruoyun. On top of that, he could even use this opportunity to kill this cunning girl by borrowing the Plum Sect’s power.

Just then, a girl from the Plum Sect suddenly walked in and gave a deep bow before saying, “Elder, Shopkeeper Zhao from the Hundred Herb Hall is here to see you.”

“Let him in.” Elder Mei knitted her brows together.

Someone from the Hundred Herb Hall?

General Gu was astounded. Before he realized what was happening, Shopkeeper Zhao, who was dressed in a hemp garment, walked in from outside.

“Elder Mei, the purpose of my coming here is to represent Lady Ruoyun to present a gift to you.” Before Elder Mei could say anything, he declared his intention immediately, “General Gu had deliberately used two fake bodies to impersonate Gu Tian and his wife. However, even before the auction had started, Lady Ruoyun had asked for a Beauty Rejuvenation Pill from Elder Yu with the intentions of exchanging it for the bodies of Gu Tian and his wife. She just never thought that.. Sigh…”

The moment she heard that there was still one Beauty Rejuvenation Pill left, Elder Mei’s eyes lit up instantly and her breath began to turn rapid as well.

Letting out another sigh, Shopkeeper Zhao continued, “It was understandable for Lady Ruoyun to feel a sense of longing towards her parents, which was why she had been willing to use the pill to trade. Now that the Gu family had done such an awful thing, this pill was not even supposed to be taken out anymore.”

As he came to this part of his speech, Shopkeeper Zhao could clearly see the nervous look on Elder Mei’s face. Smiling in his heart, he continued, “However, the mistake that Gu family had done should not be borne by the Plum Sect at all. Therefore, Lady Ruoyun has decided to use the starting price from the second round of the auction to sell this pill to the Plum Sect.”

In truth, Gu Ruoyun had her own reasons for doing this.

For her, Beauty Rejuvenation Pills could easily be obtained and refined easily in a batch. However, using a useless pill in exchange for 20 million gold coins and creating more trouble for the Gu family at the same time? It was definitely worth it!

“Are you serious?” The face of Elder Mei was apparent with delight.

For the Plum Sect, 20 million gold coins were nothing to them. However, supposing they had attended the auction, it still did not guarantee that they could get their hands on the Beauty Rejuvenation pill even if they had 20 million gold coins.
