Chapter 624 - 624: If You Don't Want People to Know, Don't Do It
Gu Hongkang came with an angry expression, but the moment he saw Wei Yuantong, he immediately restrained himself.
Elder Wei, you came from afar, and 1 apologize for not welcoming you properly! I wonder if it was my servants who offended you to the extent that you wont even enter the Gu family gate?
As soon as he spoke, he shifted the blame onto the Gu familys servants.
Wei Yuantong shook his head. It has nothing to do with them; its my own issue.
Gu Hongkangs expression changed slightly. What do you mean, Elder Wei?
Ive got some personal matters I need to sort out. When I have any lingering resentment, it affects my ability to treat someone properly. I hope you can appreciate that, Elder Gu.
So, its because of some negligence on my part that has upset you? Gu Hongkang understood the situation but acted as if he didnt.
Wei Yuantong pondered for a moment. Its not about you, but rather the two people 1 was asked to save. Ive heard some unfavorable rumors about them. Im a rather whimsical person, and once 1 develop a dislike for someone, 1 cant simply turn a blind eye and treat them like an ordinary patient. So, please find another solution, Elder Gu.
He spoke quite frankly, almost pointing out that he couldnt save Gu Jinyue and Gu Jinhong because of their character flaws.
As the grandfather of Gu Jinyue and Gu Jinhong, Gu Hongkang felt that he was humiliated, and his eyes grew cold.
He said calmly, Elder Wei, there must be a misunderstanding! While its true that Ronger and her brother may have some issues that are commonly seen in children of noble families, it shouldnt be to the extent that it offends you. Did you perhaps hear malicious rumors from certain people?
He hinted at someone behind Wei Yuantong.
Gu Qingluan stood not far away, holding her sons hand and watching the commotion.
Meeting Gu Hongkangs gaze, Gu Qingluan remained calm.
However, Gu Jinrong and his sister were about to lose their cool. They wanted to approach them when they saw them.
Gu Hongkang knew that their impulsiveness would only lead to worse consequences, so he used his authority to calm them down and returned his gaze to Wei Yuantong.
Wei Yuantong said, No need to implicate others. In any case, I cannot do it. Elder Gu, theres no need to say more.
Has Elder Wei forgotten that you owe me a favor?
Initially, Gu Hongkang didnt want to be so direct, but he had no other choice and had to speak frankly.
Wei Yuantongs friendly smile faded slightly. 1 remember. You gave me a Fairy Luo Grass back then. 1 remember this favor very clearly. In that case, I can make a house call.
Before anyone could smile, he quickly added, But I can only treat one person. You all discuss who should be saved.
The members of the Gu family had a sudden change in expression.
The closely huddled Gu Jinrong and his sister immediately separated, their eyes revealing a hint of caution towards each other.
After Wei Yuantong finished speaking, he secretly sent a message to Gu Xiaonan, explaining, Good disciple, you see, 1 owe someone a favor, and I really have no other choice. However, I will make the treatment more difficult for the person 1 choose and give you some revenge! Be a good disciple, and dont be angry with your master.
He noticed that Gu Xiaonan showed no signs of anger on his face, which put his mind at ease.
Well, my good disciple, Im sure you can understand your masters predicament.
Gu Hongkang frowned and said, Elder Wei, are you intentionally making things difficult for me? Were all on the same side.
Are you not making it difficult for me as well? Its a mutual situation, Wei Yuantong replied bluntly, showing no intention of beating around the bush.
He then urged, You all should discuss it quickly and let me know when youve made a decision. I wont stay in Tianjing for long; Ill be leaving in a couple of days.
After saying that, he turned to find Gu Qingluan and the others.
Madam Feng, my good disciple, do you mind if 1 bother you at your residence?
A faint smile played at the corner of Gu Qingluans lips. Of course, not.
Wei Yuantong immediately smiled broadly. Very well! Lets go then!
He couldnt wait to see where his good disciple was staying.
Gu Qingluan nodded.bender
As he passed by Gu Hongkang, he suddenly called out to her, Qingluan! Wait!
Gu Qingluans steps paused slightly. What instructions do you have, Old Master?
Do you have to handle things so decisively? If you dont want to let the people from the Island of No Return give treatment to Ronger and Yueer, I wont force you. But even the divine physician 1 invited from outside, you want to stop him too. Are you so ruthless that you wont tolerate them at all? Gu Hongkang asked with a heavy heart.
Gu Jinrong and Gu Jinyue both glared at her with displeasure.
Wei Yuantong was displeased. This matter has nothing to do with Madam Feng. Why blame her?
She was the mother of his good disciple, and if she was scolded because of him, his good disciple would definitely be unhappy.
Gu Hongkang took a deep breath, adjusting his emotions. His eyes, filled with a sense of world-weariness, gazed at Gu Qingluan. Leaving a way out for oneself in life is good for future encounters. Qingluan, dont go too far.
Wei Yuantong furrowed his brows and was about to speak, but Gu Qingluan stopped him.
With a lazy and indifferent smile, she didnt take the warning to heart. If you dont want others to know, then dont do it in the first place.. Why dont you go back and ask what those two have done?
