His cultivation hadn’t advanced.
Could it be that the Zengxuan Pill was a fake?
The thought crossed Gu Zhicheng’s mind, instantly filling him with anger. He angrily pointed at Gu Qingluan and accused, “Are you the one behind this trickery?’
Gu Qingluan innocently blinked her eyes and replied, ‘Trickery? I merely advised you not to eat it earlier. I knew you would regret it, but Lord Gu refused to listen and insisted on consuming it. There was nothing I could do.”
Who would believe her words? They would only assume she was afraid of him consuming it. So
“The Zengxuan Pill is fake?”
‘While I don’t know where you obtained this Zengxuan Pill, judging by its potency, it shouldn’t be fake. After all, the Zengxuan Pill is meant for aiding the bowel movements and intestinal cleansing of Spirit Beasts. Until now, no one has ever heard of humans consuming it. Now we finally know the reaction when a human ingests it,” Gu Qingluan said with a mischievous smile.
Spirit… meant for the consumption of Spirit Beasts?
So, it was actually intended for Spirit Beasts!
Gu Zhicheng was seething with anger.
“Ah, I never expected Lord Gu to have such peculiar tastes, actually enjoying something intended for Spirit Beasts. Truly a beast!” she sighed, “Birds of a feather flock together. I better leave this place quickly before I become assimilated.”
With a disgusted expression, she tiptoed and flew out of the garden.
“Don’t you dare leave!” Gu Zhicheng was furious, activating
Although Gu Qingluan had anticipated the consequences and kept her distance after Gu Zhicheng consumed the Zengxuan Pill, she couldn’t shake off the lingering unease in her heart.
Upon returning to Shallow Cloud Residence, she immediately had hot water prepared for a bath, and changed her clothes.
Qianxi went off to observe the commotion.
After some time, Qianxi returned and enthusiastically described the scene to Gu Qingluan, saying, “Gu Family Master went to the outhouse more than ten times! I heard that he was completely exhausted. And nobody dared to go near the outhouse! It was so disgustingly smelly!”
Gu Qingluan couldn’t help but inwardly sneer. Xiao Nan’s “One Excretion for a Thousand Miles” was truly effective, but it was unfortunate that others were affected and had to suffer from the foul odor.
Thankfully, she had foreseen this and led everyone to the garden.
If this had happened at Shallow Cloud Residence, she would never dare to stay there again.
The power of “One Excretion for a Thousand Miles” was tremendous. She decided to wait until the next day when the smell had dispersed before dealing with them.
“Go! Fetch the shopkeeper from the Hundred Herb Hall for me!” Exhausted, Gu Zhicheng shouted angrily while lying on the bed.
A repugnant stench filled the air.
Wang Shi, enduring her discomfort, stood inside the room and asked, “Master, you knocked out the shopkeeper from the Hundred Herb Hall and took the pill from him. Why do you want him here? ‘
Gu Zhicheng was momentarily speechless.
Wang Shi let out a sigh, “Ultimately, the root of this problem lies with
Qingluan. She must have deliberately led you to Hundred Herb Hall, making you believe that the Zengxuan Pill could enhance your cultivation. We should focus on teaching her a lesson. We must not offend Hundred Herb Hall, considering that they have the backing of Harmony Isle.”
Filled with hatred, Gu Zhicheng gritted his teeth, “That wretched creature! Ever since her return, my life has been nothing but misery! ”
Wang Shi’s eyes carried a hint of amusement, but her face betrayed her concern, “1 can’t fathom where she acquired such skills. If we continue to let her go unchecked, we will all be driven out. At that point, the entire Tianjing City will mock us, and even Xue’er will likely suffer the consequences.”
Gu Zhicheng’s eyebrows furrowed tightly. While he had already suffered a loss of face, Xue’er was different. Her future was promising, and there must not be even the slightest blemish on her reputation.
“If we can’t confront this openly, then we will resort to covert methods! I refuse to believe that we can’t handle this wretched girl!”
