Gu Qingyou didn’t reveal what he was thinking. Instead, he revealed an apologetic smile. “I do want to help, but I’ve only met Miss Su Qian for the first time today. 1 really don’t know her well, so I don’t dare to make a decision without her consent. Moreover, 1 heard that Miss Su Qian is a loner and doesn’t like to socialize with others. The Eldest ATiss shouldn’t approach her easily. In case she offended her, it’ll be even more impossible to make friends with her.” “Is that so?” The First Elder was a little troubled. “Then I wonder if Shopkeeper Liu Qi of the Qian Yao Pavilion can help. Just now, 1 heard that Miss Su and Shopkeeper Liu Qi had a good relationship. Before that, Miss Su gave Master Nangong a fifth-grade elixir to treat his illness. She bought it from Shopkeeper Liu Qi. They must have a good relationship, right?”
Gu Qingyou was not surprised that the First Elder had believed the rumors.
During the auction just now, Master did not admit that she was Gong Nan, but everyone could tell that Master was involved with Qian Yao Pavilion. Some people suspected that Su Qian’s elixirs came from Qian Yao Pavilion.
However, some people said that Su Qian was deliberately mystifying things. Even the Qian Yao Pavilion couldn’t find a fifth-grade elixir, and Master Nangong’s body still hadn’t recovered.
“In that case, why did First Elder look for Su Qian? What all of you want the most is the fifth-grade elixir. Getting to know ATiss Su is only secondary. How about this, 1 can introduce Shopkeeper Liu Qi to you. The Qian Yao Pavilion might have a way to find the fifth-grade elixir you want. As for Miss Su, it’s best not to disturb her. 1 heard that Miss Su and Young Master Gong Nan have a close relationship. If you offend Miss Su, Qian Yao Pavilion will definitely not help you find the elixir.” Gu Qingyou seemed to be thinking for the sake of the Blood Demon Pavilion, but in reality, he was trying his best to prevent Ji Wanwan from interacting with Su Qian.
Rumors about Ji Wanwan were flying all over the place. Everyone said that she was eccentric and was a rich Eldest ATiss, but Gu Qingyou did not think so, so it was better to be on guard.
“This… I have to go back and discuss it with my family’s Eldest Miss first. Otherwise, I’ll give you an answer tomorrow?” The First Elder did not dare to make a decision on behalf of Ji Wanwan. Their Eldest Miss had a very strange personality. If he made the wrong decision, he would definitely be in trouble.
“Alright, I’ll do it. Then I’ll send you out.” As Gu Qingyou spoke, he stood up and personally escorted the First Elder out of the Feng Lin Auction House.
“First Elder, take care.” Gu Qingyou cupped his hands and watched as the First Elder quickly walked into a small alley. After a while, a low-key and luxurious carriage came out of the alley.
“I think that Ji Wanwan is sitting in the carriage and waiting…” Gu Qingyou said with a hint of worry in his heart. He turned around and returned to the auction house to find his trusted hidden guard.
“Where is Master?” Gu Qingyou asked in a low voice.
“Reporting to the great steward, the Master has returned to Nangong’s Residence. However, she should return to Su Residence tonight,” the hidden guard reported.
“Got it. Then I’ll go see Master tonight.” Gu Qingyou felt the need to personally explain what had happened to Su Qian today. With that in mind, he turned around and continued to receive some important guests.
In the carriage, First Elder told Ji Wanwan everything he had learned from Gu Qingyoum word for word.
“Eldest Miss, why don’t we give up on seeing Su Qian? After all, our goal is only to find a fifth-grade elixir and save the Pavilion Master. The others have nothing to do with us,” The First Elder advised.
“You’re right, but haven’t you noticed that Gu Qingyou’s att.i.tude is a little strange?” Ji Wanwan cupped her snow-white chin with her jade-like hand. “He seems particularly worried. It’s as if we’re going to look for Su Qian..”
