Chapter 215: A Chance to Turn Over

Gu Zhicheng clenched his fist, a hint of resentment flickering in his eyes. “Wicked girl! How could your thoughts be so malicious?”

...

Quickly, he turned to the elder and implored, “Master, what should I do now? Can my condition improve?”

The elder pondered deeply, “This… is a bit challenging.”

“Challenging implies there’s still a way, right? Please, Master, help me! 1’11 offer any reward you desire!”

The elder’s cultivation was only at the Heavenly Realm. Under normal circumstances, Gu Zhicheng wouldn’t have been so subdued.

However, the situation was different when dealing with someone from the Island of No Return.

Especially since the elder had astutely revealed the anomaly in his body.

The elder’s expression showed a hint of dilemma.

“Master, your appearance in the Gu residence today must mean you’re willing to help. Gu Qingluan and that surnamed Liu are using the name of your esteemed island to deceive. 1 believe you won’t condone this. If you speak up, I will spare no effort to assist you.”

“But Gu Qingluan’s strength is extraordinary, and their pills are indeed well-crafted, nearly indistinguishable from real ones. Even if I reveal this to others, they might not believe it.” the elder sighed. “For now, the plan is to first treat the Gu family master’s condition. Once your cultivation is restored, we can hold them accountable.”

Gu Zhicheng was ecstatic, “That’s the right course of action! Exactly! Master, please stay at the Gu residence. If you need anything, just say the word.”

“By the way, I haven’t learned Master’s honorable name.”

“I’m surnamed Zhang, with a given name of Sheng.”

“So you’re Master Zhang!” Gu Zhicheng praised a few words.

Zhang Sheng just smiled, maintaining an unperturbed demeanor that further convinced Gu Zhicheng.

Gu Zhicheng instructed his servants to prepare the best guest quarters and to attend to Zhang Sheng’s needs.

Upon learning of this, Wang Shi felt doubtful and approached Gu Zhicheng for answers.

Gu Zhicheng explained, “If it’s a fabrication, 1 won’t let it slide. If it’s true, we have a chance to turn things around. Don’t you want to avenge this humiliation?”

Wang Shi fell silent.

She hadn’t recovered from the recent blow. After toiling for over a decade, everything had been ruined by that little vixen Gu Qingluan. No one desired revenge more than her.

Meanwhile, Gu Qingluan, who had just reclaimed ninety-nine boxes of dowry, was in a great mood. Upon returning to the Jun Residence, she promptly ordered the kitchen to prepare a feast to celebrate.

What made her even happier was that Little Yuanxi had come!

She thought she wouldn’t see him for a long time, but he hadn’t managed to leave after all.

She invited Little Yuanxi and Jing Feng to join her.

The newly acquired Moonlight Jade Dew Vase came in handy. She took it out and had it filled with wine.

After a gentle sway, she poured it out. The fragrance of the wine wafted through the air, intoxicating those who smelled it.

Taking a sip, Gu Qingluan sighed contentedly.

What an excellent wine!

She refilled her cup and raised it to the others. “Today is a joyous occasion. 1 offer a toast to everyone. You all have worked hard, and your efforts will be rewarded. Su Lie, take note. Each person will receive a thousand taels of silver tomorrow.”

“Thank you, Miss!”

“Thank you, Mistress!”

Everyone present cheered with joy, raising their cups and toasting her with smiles.

“Mother, 1 want to drink too.”

Xiaonan caught a whiff of the wine’s aroma, and his mouth watered.

Seeing everyone enjoying themselves, he couldn’t help but ask.

Gu Qingluan hesitated for a moment.

“Mother, just a tiny bit, please? Just a little bit?” Xiaonan held up two small fingers, the aroma of the wine incredibly tempting as he licked his lips.

“Miss, a little won’t hurt. We’ll keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn’t drink too much,” Bo He chimed in with a smile.

Rarely was she this elated, and she couldn’t bear to disappoint the little one..
