975. Conspire (1)Translator: Guy Gone Bad

“You’re here?” With his hands behind his back, Gongsun Ming stood at the window.

Watching Gongsun Ming’s back, Gongsun Ying nodded stiffly and said, “Yes, grandpa.”

“Zheng Xuan got promoted to the late stage of heavenly class, did you hear that?” Asked Gongsun Ming.

Gongsun Ying gritted her teeth and said, “Yes.”

Gongsun Ming turned his head coldly and looked at Gong with reproachful eyes, “Mo Fei has separated the Catching Fire from the Void Silver potion. If it were for the Catching Fire, how could Zheng Xuan have gotten promoted so smoothly?”

“I know I was wrong.” Gongsun Ying fell to the ground on one knee, her face full of shame.

“Catching Fire is the most likely thing to help someone at the middle stage of heavenly class to the late stage. Because of you, a fire star magician of our family would lose the chance to advance!” said Gongsun Ming with a freezingly cold tone.

Gongsun Ying twirled her clothes with her fingers, and his expression on his face was a mixture of shame, grievance and fear, “It’s all because of my willful behavior. I should take the blame. I swear I will never let such things happen again.”

Gongsun Ming looked at her and said rudely, “The family has spent so much effort to train you not to let you behave like this. You should change your temper. You are responsible for this incident, and so is the family. We have spoiled you.”

Gongsun Ying bit her lip and said, “I…”

“I hope you’ll learn a lesson this time. You can go on now.” Gongsun Ming interrupted Gongsun Ying and said after making a sigh.

Gongsun Ying bowed to Gongsun Ming and went out.

Lou Yu, Lou Yu, Gongsun Ying silently recited the name, feeling cold in her heart. Since childhood, she had always been spoiled by her family elders, and no one even would say some harsh words to her. If it weren’t for Lou Yu, how could it be like this?

…

Gu Family’s Encampment

Gu Yan looked at Gu Chi, a bit suspicious, “Grandpa, you mean the Catching Fire in Zheng Xuan’s hand is from Gongsun Ying. How is that possible?”

Gu Chi gave a wry smile and explained, “that girl’s original intention was to plot against Lou Yu. As long as Lou Yu’s body touched a slice of the Catching Fire, he’d get exploded to death. Pity she failed…”

“She mixed Catching Fire into the Void Silver potion?” Gu Yan looked shocked.

Gu Chi nodded, “Exactly.”

Gu Yan frowned, “If they got mixed together, could they be separated?”

“Yes, but very difficult.” Gu Chi’s eyes looked dim.

Gu Chi did not dare to tell Gu Yan that it was nearly impossible even for him to separate them. It seemed that Mo Fei’s potion skills had improved again.

Gu Yan bit his teeth, making a cry smile, “I’m no better than him.”

Gu Chi smiled and said, “You don’t have to compete with him. You just need to be yourself.”

Gu Yan nodded and said, “Yes, grandpa, I understand.”

Gu Yan lowered his head, although still wearing a calm face, in his heart he already felt all kinds of feelings surging up. Now they finally wouldn’t say he is no worse than Mo Fei against their will. It looks like the elders of the family finally acknowledged Mo Fei’s strength.

“Is Mo Fei still staying with Cang Qian?” Asked Gu Yan.

Gu Chi nodded and said, “Yes, and because of Gongsun Ying, their relationship has come a step closer.”

Cang Qian saw through that something was wrong with the Void Silver potion, which meant that he saved Lou Yu’s life. So Mo Fei’s trust for him grew more, but comparatively, his guard against them hidden family also rose.

Gu Yan frowned, looking quite annoyed, “Why would Mo Fei stay with someone like Cang Qian?” Having been influenced by those elders in the family, Gu Yan had naturally taken Cang Qian as a monster.

“Mo Fei and his group have lived too short and know too little about Cang Qian’s true face. They have no idea at all how dangerous he is!” Gu Chi said meaningfully.

Gu Chi nodded, “Yeah!”

Recently, Zheng Xuan got promoted to the late stage of heavenly class, a fire star magician at the late stage of heavenly class was also difficult to deal with.

And they also had no idea when Lou Yu would ascend and make it to his immortal class. By then, as those people around him became more and more powerful, their chance to kill Lou Yu would also become smaller and smaller.

…

“Grandpa, ancestors of Gongsun family, Mo family and others families are all here.” Gu Feng came in and said so.

Gu Chi nodded, “Good, I will go inform our ancestor.”

“No need.” A cold voice sounded, then a young man wearing white clothes walked in.

Seeing him, everyone on spot changed their face.

“Ancestor.” Gu Chi reverently said.

Gu Tianming waved his hand and said, “All right, you can leave. I’m going to meet some old friends.”

“Yes.” Gu Chi respectfully replied.

With a flash, Gu Tianming already disappeared without a trace.

Gu Tianming and other people gathered together, the surrounding was set under a heavy prohibition.

“Brother Tianming, aren’t you the host? How could you be so late?” Mo Kun crossed his arms, wearing a fake smile.

“You know, I am old. I took a snap and delayed. Hope you all wouldn’t mind.” Gu Tianming cupped his hands.

Gongsun Miao waved his hand and said, “All right. Enough of the crap. We should talk about the current situation.”

Gu Tianming laughed and said, “OK! That’s exactly what I meant.”
