“First Elder, please tell me that as long as I can help, I will do my best.” Gu Qingyou smiled gently and looked at the First Elder.
“Great Steward Gu has heard about our sub-pavilion. Our pavilion master’s injuries require at least a fifth-grade elixir to heal. 1 originally thought that my wish would be fulfilled today, but I didn’t expect such a farce to actually happen.” The First Elder looked at Gu Qingyou with a troubled expression. “I’ve always heard that the Feng Lin Auction House is very resourceful. 1 wonder if Great Steward Gu is willing to help?”
“Our auction house is naturally willing to help.” Gu Qingyou smiled apologetically after he finished speaking. “However, you know that this fifth-grade elixir is rare, let alone a healing elixir. Even if we wanted to help, it would probably be very difficult. 1 didn’t dare to take on this task. 1 was worried that if we couldn’t find it, wouldn’t we disappoint the First Elder?”
Gu Qingyou’s words were gentle and did not offend anyone, but between the lines, he was unwilling to help.
“It doesn’t matter. As long as Great Steward Gu takes this matter to heart and helps us think of a solution, it will be fine.” As the First Elder spoke, he took out a silver note from his sleeve, “We have some understanding of the Feng Lin Auction House’s connections. Even if there are no ready-made elixirs, can you please talk to the alchemists and see if anyone is willing to help us? As for the reward, it’s all negotiable.”
Looking at the huge amount of silver notes, Gu Qingyou raised his hand and pressed it against the silver notes. Then, he pushed the silver notes back in the direction of the First Elder. “First Elder, there’s no need for this. As long as there’s something we can do to help, our Feng Lin Auction House will do our best.”
“Thank you, Great Steward Gu.” After the First Elder finished speaking, he put away the silver notes again. He cleared his throat and smiled even more brightly. “In addition, I have another matter that I want to ask Great Steward Gu about.”
Gu Qingyou held his teacup and smiled kindly. “Please ask, I’ll tell you everything 1 know.”
“It’s about Su Qian, who was on stage today. How much does Great Steward Gu know about her?” First Elder asked curiously.
A fleeting glimmer of darkness flashes in Gu Qingyou’s eyes, but it did not attract the First Elder’s attention. “Miss Su Qian is the most famous person in the imperial capital recently. She ran away from her wedding six years ago and only returned not long ago. After breaking off with the Su family, she returned to her mother’s family, the Nangong family…Why, is the First Elder interested in her?”
What Gu Qingyou said was something that could be asked from anyone on the street. What he was curious about now was why the people from the Blood Demon Pavilion would suddenly be brought up their Master’s matter.
“Oh, it’s not me. It’s our pavilion’s Eldest Miss. Miss Wan’er feels that Miss Su Qian is valiant and heroic, and she wants to be friends with Miss Su. 1 wonder if Great Steward Gu can help with an introduction?” First Elder asked with a friendly smile.
The Eldest Miss of their pavilion.
As soon as those words were spoken, Gu Qingyou’s heart suspended.
The Blood Demon Pavilion was one of the top forces on the continent. Its branches were spread all over the continent. However, the most elite forces were all based in the main pavilion, which was the headquarters of the Blood Demon Pavilion. He had naturally heard of Ji Wanwan’s name. She was the legitimate Eldest Miss of the Blood Demon Pavilion. Her status was as high as that of a princess.
However, Ji Wanwan’s ident.i.ty was a little awkward in the Blood Demon Pavilion.
Such a big shot must be a proud and arrogant person.. Why would she want to be friends with his Master?
