Chapter 689: Rong Xin's Hatred (5)
The Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ice Crystal?
The entire room fell silent as they heard these words .
"Ahem . " The Palace Lord cleared his throat and replied in a frail voice, "The Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ice Crystal is the township treasure of the Amethyst Underworld Palace . I've had it brought over from afar in order to use it to preserve my corpse after I've passed on . If you need it, Lady Gu, I can loan it to you for a while but I will need it back after you're done . "
Elder Da's expression changed . He wanted to speak but was suddenly reminded of the debt of gratitude he owed Gu Ruoyun for saving the Palace Lord . Hence, he swallowed his words .
"Then I thank you greatly . "
A sincere smile slowly brought warmth to her clear and cold eyes . Gu Ruoyun had never imagined that this mission would be resolved so easily .
The delicate-looking youth did not say a word . He fixed his clear, limpid eyes upon Gu Ruoyun with a gaze filled with absolute gratitude .
If it wasn't for them, Father might already be dead . Also, to the Amethyst Underworld Palace, one Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ice Crystal was nothing when compared to Father's life .
. . .
After obtaining the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ice Crystal, Gu Ruoyun decided to return to the Dongfang family home . However, just as she stepped out from the gates of the Amethyst Underworld Palace, a figure appeared before her and addressed her respectfully, "Lady Gu, our Elder has extended an invitation for you to be our guest . "
"Who is your Elder?" Gu Ruoyun frowned and asked .
"My Elder is the Honorable Sir Tianqi of the Spirit Sect . "
The Honorable Sir Tianqi?
Gu Ruoyun was stunned . How had that guy found out that I was at the Amethyst Underworld Palace? Also, why had he come looking for me in such a rush?
"Alright, lead the way," She frowned and replied calmly .
Even if the Honorable Sir Tianqi knew about my departure from the Banished Lands, he wouldn't send another person to intercept me at the Amethyst Underworld Palace . Usually, he would visit me at the Dongfang family home .
As such, Gu Ruoyun had no idea on what was going on in the Spirit Sect .
Could it be that something has happened to Big Brother?
Gu Ruoyun's heart clenched at the thought . Even her footsteps quickened .
In this world, besides Xia Linyu, her only other brother was Gu Shengxiao! Hence, she would never allow any harm to come to him no matter what .
. . .
At a laboratory in the Spirit Sect, an elder examined the herbs in his hand as he furrowed and relaxed his brows over and over again . This scared the people around him from approaching him, afraid that the old man had gone into another random fit of madness and would unleash his anger upon them .
As this moment, a disciple of the Spirit Sect hurriedly walked in and announced respectfully, "Elder Tianqi, Lady Gu has arrived . She's waiting or you outside the Spirit Sect . "
"What?"
The Honorable Sir Tianqi's face lit up with glee . Ignoring the herbs in his hands, he immediately threw them behind him before his elderly figure rushed out as swiftly as the wind .
In a large courtyard .
Her hair fluttered under a refreshing breeze .
The woman stood with her hands crossed . Dressed in green, she looked like a slender bamboo tree, unyielding and steadfast . Her eyes, however, were clear and cool, like something straight out of a portrait .
This woman did not have looks that could devastate nations but her features were exquisite and very easy on the eyes .
Perhaps having noticed the elder rushing towards her, the woman gently raised her eyes and lightly cocked an eyebrow . She spoke with a smile that did not reach her eyes, "Honorable Sir Tianqi, why have you summoned me in such a hurry? You've even sent someone to escort me from the Amethyst Underworld Palace . "
The Honorable Sir Tianqi chuckled and rubbed his fists, "Little girl, I'm your great-uncle after all . Your maternal grandmother is my younger sister . Why are you still addressing me as the Honorable Sir Tianqi?"
