This woman who had been by Gu Ruoyun’s side from start to finish… She was the legendary Ghost Doctor who could bring people back from the dead?
Although the Ghost Doctor had previously appeared at the auction, any organisation without enough power and money had been unable to enter! Thus it wasn’t a surprise that no one could recognise that Wei Yiyi was the Ghost Doctor.
“Grandfather, he, he’s just joking, right?”
Gu Panpan’s lips trembled as her pretty face turned pale. Her hands clutched the fabric of her grandfather’s sleeve as she voiced her disbelief, swaying.
The woman that she had claimed was learning how to seduce men from Gu Ruoyun just now… was the Ghost Doctor? That good-for-nothing Gu Ruoyun was actually the shifu of the Ghost Doctor? No! She absolutely couldn’t believe it! Gu Ruoyun had no talents at all; how could the Ghost Doctor become her disciple?
Compared to Gu Panpan’s disbelief, Gu Xianglin had a dark expression on his face. Even though the Cool Breeze Faction had sent someone to attend the auction three years ago, he had not been the representative, nor had he been one of the disciples sent together with said representative. Thus, he didn’t know that Gu Ruoyun was connected to the Ghost Doctor.
“Gu Shengxiao, you exceeded me in every aspect but one! That is, my little sister was more outstanding than yours! Back then, Gu Ruoyun was just a good-for-nothing! Based on this point alone, you could never surpass me! However, now…”
Now, Panpan was still a pampered and sheltered young miss at home, while that woman had already become the Ghost Doctor’s shifu!
Thinking of this, Gu Xianglin clenched his fists as he turned a sinister gaze towards Gu Ruoyun…
“Right,” Elder Lei seemed to have thought of something as he turned to ask, “General Gu, what were you about to say just now?”
Compared to the slight disdain of earlier, Elder Lei’s tone now carried a trace of respect.
There was no other reason but this: based on the fact that this old man was the grandfather of the Ghost Doctor’s shifu, he couldn’t treat him lightly.
“N-nothing.”
The old man shook his head, his face pale. What could he say now? Could he say that he had already kicked Gu Ruoyun out of the family? He would have to be an idiot to say something like that. As for Gu Ruoyun, even if she wouldn’t acknowledge her identity, she probably wouldn’t make things difficult for him at the banquet.
“Oh, so that’s what it was,” Elder Lei laughed out loud, “General Gu, your granddaughter must be exceptional to be able to have the Ghost Doctor as her disciple. I’m rather envious that you have such an outstanding granddaughter!”
Just as he had finished speaking, Old Man Gu couldn’t help but flinch as the voice he feared began to speak.
“Elder Lei, you’re mistaken. I’m not a granddaughter of the Gu family. I’m just Gu Tian’s daughter. Three years ago, the Gu family chased the good-for-nothing me out, so I no longer have anything to do with the Gu family.”
The young girl’s expression was calm, as if she was narrating an unimportant fact.
Elder Lei’s smile slowly disappeared. At this moment, Old Man Gu could clearly feel the elder’s good attitude chilling over.
“Good-for-nothing? Chased out of the family?” Elder Lei questioned, each phrase colder than the last, “So you’re saying that… she’s no longer one of the Gu family?”
Old Man Gu’s face was pale as he opened his mouth, but he was unable to explain. After a long moment, he forced out a few words: “Her talent was too poor; she was only Qi level 2 at 14 years of age…”
Although her cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds afterwards, notably becoming a martial warrior in less than a year, no one would have accepted the previous good-for-nothing Gu Ruoyun.
Elder Lei was a little surprised. Qi level 2 at 14 years of age. That kind of talent was the lowest of the low. He unconsciously turned to cast a serious, measuring gaze on Gu Ruoyun. The more he looked, the more his brows knitted together.
