Chapter 10

Master, This Old Granny Is So Fierce

Gu Lingxue was known for her malicious nature, and the rest of the Gu family members were not much better. The original owner of Gu Qingluan’s body was the eldest daughter of the Gu family’s first branch. Her mother had passed away during childbirth, and her biological father quickly remarried, leaving the original owner essentially orphaned.

In the Cloud Plains Continent, strength was revered above all else. However, the original owner had no talent for cultivation and was openly regarded as a useless fool. In such a ruthless environment, anyone could trample upon her without hesitation. Gu Jinrong and his sister, being cousins of the original owner, were no exception and belonged to the same group of people.

Gu Qingluan was never a person who would repay evil with good. It was fine if she did not meet these people who bullied the original owner, but if she did, how could she let them go?

She gave an ambiguous laugh.

The Gu family was one of the four great families of the Chengyuan Kingdom. After the eldest branch’s daughter, Gu Lingxue, entered the Qiankun Academy and shone brilliantly, the Gu family had risen with the tide over the years and became the leader of the four great families. Even the imperial family of the Chengyuan Kingdom had to respect the Gu family. As a result, these Gu family disciples were more arrogant than before.

At this moment, Gu Jinrong saw Gu Qingluan’s eyes curve and thought that it was his identity that made the other party look at him in a different light. He was instantly delighted.

The woman in front of him wore a veil, but her captivating eyes alone were enough to stir people’s hearts. Combined with her graceful figure and ethereal presence, she appeared to be a matchless beauty. If he could win the favor of such a beauty, it would bring great benefits to him!

With this thought in mind, he couldn’t help but puff out his chest and flash a smile that he considered charming. “May I know your name?”

Instead of answering, Gu Qingluan posed a question of her own. “The East Sea is treacherous, and few ordinary people dare to venture into it. Did you come here with the intention to venture into Harmony Isle?”

“That’s correct! We came here seeking medicinal pills from the Island Master of Harmony Isle, but we never expected to encounter pirates on the way. All our attendants and guards were killed. If it wasn’t for our high status and their intention to use us as hostages, we would have already lost our lives. That’s why you must not let these pirates go,” Gu Jinrong explained.

“Bullshit! We only want money, not murder!” Zhao Ba retorted angrily.

Gu Jinrong cast a cold glance at him. “Miss, please take a look. These uncouth villains remain arrogant even as prisoners. If we release them now, I fear we’ll be putting ourselves in danger.”

“In your opinion, what should we do?”

Gu Jinrong smiled confidently.” Why don’t we interrogate them strictly and find out the pirate’s lair? Then, we’ll catch them all!”

Zhao Ba was worried that Gu Qingluan would be convinced by him. He quickly looked at Gu Xiaonan.” Young hero, we are your people now. Don’t be deceived by this kid. He has bad intentions…”

Pa!

Before he could finish speaking, a slap landed on his face. Blood instantly flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his face was crooked.

Everyone was stunned. Only then did they see that the person who had attacked was Gu Jinyue.

Zhao Ba was furious. “F * ck, you bitch! How dare you hit me!”

He struggled and wanted to pounce on her.

Gu Jinyue raised her hand and hit the other side of his face.

Pa!

“Ah!”

This time, it was not the pirates who were hit, but Gu Jinyue’s hand.

She retreated in pain and covered the back of her swollen hand. Her eyes burned with anger. “Who hit me?”

Seeing the grapes rolling on the ground, Gu Jinyue remembered that there was only a plate of grapes beside Gu Qingluan.

She glared at her angrily and shouted, “How dare you hit me!”

Gu Qingluan casually tossed a purple-black grape. “I don’t like people touching my things, and it’s not up to others to beat up my people.”

“You…”

Gu Jinrong restrained his sister and turned to Gu Qingluan with an apologetic expression. “Please forgive my sister’s impulsive behavior. She’s still young, and sometimes her emotions get the better of her.”

“Brother! Why are you apologizing to her when she hit me?” Gu Jinyue complained, feeling indignant and frustrated. She stomped her feet in anger.

“Um, this old lady doesn’t seem young at all. Is it possible that she’s just acting impatiently?” Gu Xiaonan blinked, puzzled by the situation.

“Who are you calling an old lady? And who said I’m anxious?”

Women were particularly sensitive about their age, and Gu Jinyue was no exception. When she heard Gu Xiaonan call her old, she immediately became furious.

Gu Xiaonan, feeling intimidated, quickly sought refuge in Gu Qingluan’s arms. “Master, this old granny is so fierce!”
