This was none of Zi Suâs business. Whether his purse was stolen or not was his own business. Zi Su only wanted to leave as soon as possible. She held Fu Lingâs hand and walked back.
The man smiled and said, âI havenât thanked you properly. May I know your name?â
Zi Su frowned and ignored him. She quickly left with Fu Ling. They originally thought that this matter would be over, but before they left, the Gu Master suddenly looked for Yu Wan.
Yu Wan was still dressed as a young master and announced to the Gu Master that her surname was Yu. In the eyes of that Gu Master, be it Young Master Yan or Young Master Yu, they were just useless rich children. In front of a Gu Master with true strength, they were not worth mentioning at all.
Therefore, the Gu Master explained his intentions very arrogantly.
âWhat did you say? You want to sell my maidservant?â Yu Wan looked at him indifferently.
âThat maidservant called Zi Su,â the Gu Master admitted generously.
Yu Wan was so angry that she laughed. She was still thinking why this person came looking for her so early in the morning. It turned out that he wanted to sell Zi Su. Looking at his matter-of-fact expression, those who didnât know better would think that Zi Su was his servant. âIâm not selling.â
âA hundred taels.â
Yu Wan smiled faintly. âDo I look like someone who lacks money?â
The Gu Master said seriously, âThis isnât about money. Do you know who wants to buy her?â
âYour Emperor of Nanzhao?â Yu Wan teased.
The Gu Masterâs face turned cold. âDo you think youâre the Princess? Why would the Emperor take a fancy to your maidservant? Heâs also a Gu Master. His strength is above mine. He entered the Capital this time because his master was lucky enough to be invited as an esteemed guest of the Queen Manor. Itâs your fortune that he took a fancy to your maidservant. Donât be ungrateful.â
The Queen Manor? Was he talking about the rumored Little Princess? Yu Wan did not have a good impression of her. This time, not to mention a maidservant, she would not even sell a rag to the other party.
The Gu Master had already made up his mind to use a maidservant to exchange for the other partyâs favor. Although he was also invited to the Capital, the family that invited him was almost not worth mentioning compared to the dignified Queen of Nanzhao. If he could please the other party, he might have a chance to become the Queenâs disciple in the future. That way, he would soar.
The Gu Master said, âYou have to sell her no matter what!â
âOh? Is that so?â Yu Wan raised her eyebrows.
The Gu Master said proudly, âDonât forget, youâve all been poisoned by my Gu. If you donât hand over that girl, Iâll let you die from the poison!â
Yu Wan let out a long sigh. âSigh, it seems that my husbandâs insight is right. Youâre really annoying.â
What husband or not? The Gu Master did not understand, but he understood the latter sentence. This kid was scolding him! He was a Gu Master! How dare this kid?! The Gu Master said angrily, âIf I donât teach you a lesson, youâll forget who you are!â
Yu Wan looked at him calmly. He took out a copper bell and shook it gently. This was the Gu Control Bell. Every time they heard its ring, the Gu worm would become restless. The person who was poisoned would feel as if ten thousand ants were eating their hearts, and they would be in so much pain that they would rather die.
Of course, he only wanted to teach the other party a small lesson and did not intend to take his life. Therefore, his movements were very gentle. However, even so, it was enough to make the other party roll on the ground in pain.
But to the Gu Masterâs surprise, Yu Wan did not even lift her eyelids, let alone roll on the ground. âHow did this happen?â The Gu Master looked at Yu Wan in a daze and then at the copper bell in his hand. This time, he increased his strength. However, no matter how he shook it, Yu Wan did not react.
Yu Wan yawned. âAre you done shaking? If not, continue shaking. Iâm going to get into the carriage to catch up on my sleep.â
âImpossible⦠This is impossibleâ¦â The Gu Master widened his eyes in disbelief. He had almost shaken the copper bell to pieces. How could the Gu worm not cause trouble?
âStop right there!â The Gu Master turned around and grabbed Yu Wanâs shoulder unceremoniously.
Yu Wan instinctively turned around and slapped him to the ground. She could not be blamed for this. Who asked him to suddenly ambush her?
The Gu Master let out a miserable scream on the walkway.
Jiang Hai, Qing Yan, and Yue Gou were shocked by the huge commotion. The Gu Master had lost all his face and immediately roared, âCatch him!â
Catch who? Yu Wan? Is your brain damaged? None of the three of them moved.
Only then did the Gu Master remember that they were together. This kid was originally the escortâs family. Did they team up to bully him? Alright, let these guys taste the power of a Gu Master!
