    There were a few peopleing and going from Hundred Herb Hall. Upon walking in, Gu Ruoyun spotted Elder Yu, who was resting his eyes in the main hall. As if he had detected her presence, Elder Yu slowly opened his eyes, smiling: “You’vee?”


    “Yes, I’m here.”


    Aware of the other people inside Hundred Herb Hall, Gu Ruoyun nodded, but did not say anything more.


    “Let’s go into one of the inner halls to talk. There is also someone who wants to meet you.”


    “Okay.”


    Gu Ruoyun had not had the time to visit again since leaving Hundred Herb Hall thest time. This time, she hade to find a ce to stay, and most importantly, because she had an important order to send out.


    This was the first step of her rise to power.


    In an elegant inner hall, a light breeze was passing by, shaking the snow white window screens.


    Gu Ruoyun had just walked in when she saw a man standing with his back facing her. He was wearing luxuriously embroidered clothes and radiating an awe-inspiring aura. You could imagine the magnitude of his power when just the sight of his back could exude such enormous pressure.


    “Young master, I have brought the person you wanted.”


    Young master?


    Gu Ruoyun frowned lightly, was this man the power behind Hundred Herb Hall?


    In truth, the people of Azure Dragon Country only knew that there was a powerful backer behind Hundred Herb Hall- anyone that offended the power behind Hundred Herb Hall would mysteriously disappear the next day. However, not a single soul knew who that power was, and it was considered a mystery to them.


    Thus, at the moment the man turned around, surprise flittered across Gu Ruoyun’s eyes.


    Graceful, gentle; these words fit him perfectly. When he smiled, it was as if aforting breeze was passing by.


    For some unknown reason, it made Gu Ruoyun want to get closer to him...


    “You’re Gu Ruoyun? Gu Tian’s daughter? Good, you really do have Gu Tian’s strength of character. The people who insulted you and treated you as a good-for-nothing were really blind dogs.”


    The man saw Gu Tian’s shadow in the young girl before him, and his impression of her was raised by several points.


    Gu Ruoyun was startled: “You knew my father?”


    “Indeed, your father and I were old acquaintances. It was a pity that his genius was lost at such an early age... it could be counted as one of the biggest losses of this maind. At least that fellow was good enough, having produced a son that was epted as a disciple by the Spirit Sect. With a daughter as outstanding as you, if he could see you right now, I believe he would be relieved.”


    The man sighed.


    However, listening to his words, Gu Ruoyun’s heart trembled. Old Man Gu had not revealed her older brother’s whereabouts from start to end, at least she finally knew where he had ended up now. Spirit Sect? She wondered what kind of power the Spirit Sect was...


    “You’re the owner of Hundred Herb Hall?”


    She raised her eyes slightly, looking at the man in front of her.


    The man chuckled twice: “Yes, I’m the owner of this Hundred Herb Hall. My name is Dongfang Shaoze, but since I was old friends with your parents, you can call me Uncle if you don’t mind. I know a little about what happened to your parents, but now is not the right time for you to know.”


    It was only now that Gu Ruoyun finally understood how she had acquired Hundred Herb Hall so easily.


    She had only wanted to give it a try, and had not held too much hope for sess. Who knew that everything would go so smoothly? So it was because of this man behind the scenes.


    She had even thought that she just had an extremely good stroke of luck...


    Gu Ruoyun smiled self-mockingly: “Young master Dongfang, I thought that I had won Hundred Herb Hall through my own skill, now I see that it wasn’t so.”
