"Fool, you fool!"

He could hardly convince his father yet this foolish woman had come and exposed everything. This time, he was done for.

Actually, you could not blame Second Madam Gu since she had not followed Gu Qing to go look for Gu Ruoyun. After hearing what was being said outside, she was sure that they had enough proof to make those claims. Who would have thought that Gu Qing was not willing to admit to it?

"Father, father, do not listen to my foolish wife, I…"

Whack!

Master Gu gave him a fierce slap which knocked Gu Qing to the floor. However this did not quell his rage and he lifted his leg and stomped on him with a fierce expression on his face, it was as if he does not even recognize his own son.

"It was you who had killed Tian’er and you who ended up dooming our Gu family! If it weren't for you, I would not have been chased after by an angry mob! If it weren’t for you, a small Hundred Herb Hall would not mean any harm to us! I want to kill you, you evil creature!"

Thinking of the prestige he had once garnered, the way those officers would smile at him as he walked past, Master Gu’s heart trembled. How much of his youth had he wasted to walk out of that? Yet today he found out, the one who made him lose all that had been his own son, someone whom he had trusted.

It was too difficult to withstand.

"Father, father please help Panpan, she will die by their hands!"

Second Madam Gu’s plump body rushed in front of the old man before she clutched onto his legs. She cried, "Father I beg you on Panpan’s behalf! She is your granddaughter, please hurry and save her, she’s still a child."

"Scram!"

Master Gu raised his leg and kicked Second Madam Gu away. His veins were popping out from his forehead and his fists cracked, "Don’t think that I’m ignorant that you had nothing to do with this! The both of you are cruel, even daring to harm your own brother! Right now, Gu Tian is gone and Gu Ruoyun does not want to acknowledge the Gu family anymore. If Gu Shengxiao finds out about all this, he will never forgive the Gu family. Our Gu family’s geniuses are all gone, hahaha! All that’s left are you pieces of worthless garbage!"

Regret...

Master Gu’s heart was filled with regret.

If he had not abandoned Gu Ruoyun that year, even if Gu Tian had died by Gu Qing’s hands, that would have had nothing to do with him! He would still be at the top of the Gu family and the Hundred Herb Hall along with the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger would belong to the Gu family…

But who would have thought that in these short three years, Gu Ruoyun would turn from a good-for-nothing to a kingly person?

Thinking of this, a tear of regret fell from the old man’s eye...

"Lin’er, that’s right, there is still Lin’er!"

Second Madam Gu seemed to have thought of something and her eyes brightened: "Lin’er is still the Young Master of the Gentle Breeze Faction. If the Gentle Breeze Faction were to back us, things will be different."

The Gentle Breeze Faction...

Gu Qing and Master Gu both thought of the powerful faction and looked at each other. The raging old man slowly began to calm down.

"The Gentle Breeze Faction is our last hope, where is Lin’er now?"

Just as he asked this, a voice sounded from outside, "I am an elder from the Gentle Breeze Faction, I’m here to fetch the Young Master, is the Young Master in?"

"Someone from the Gentle Breeze Faction?"

Gu Qing was overjoyed, "This is great, the Gentle Breeze Faction is here, we’re saved!"

Master Gu has had his military power stripped from him so the Gentle Breeze Faction was their final hope...
