Master Gu was stunned. What had Dongfang Shaoze meant by that? He had tasked him with finding Gu Ruoyun’s whereabouts all those years ago and even threatened his family with a bloodbath. Had all of this been to help Gu Ruoyun? No wonder they had been turned down every time they tried to get Gu Ruoyun back from the Hundred Herb Hall, it had been Dongfang Shaoze’s doing!
"Why? Why have you done all this? Even if you had a relationship with Liu Yi, she has been dead for so long. Why are you still helping Gu Ruoyun?"
"Do you want to know the reason?"
Dongfang Shaoze stepped closer with a big smile on his handsome, jade-like face. His voice was calm and soothing as he said, "It's simple, that's because Liu Yi’s surname is Dongfang!"
Bang!
The shock was so great that Master Gu’s brain stopped working for a moment.
Liu Yi’s surname was Dongfang, what...what does that mean?
"Her surname was Dongfang and she was part of the Dongfang family. She was the jewel of our house and my older sister!"
Dongfang Shaoze’s smile diminished a little and he stared darkly at them as he spoke.
"Liu Yu’s name was Dongfang Yu? She was from the Dongfang family? Impossible, this is not possible!"
Master Gu stumbled back in shock and he shook his head. His face was pale as he spoke, "Why had she never mentioned it before?"
He had not liked Dongfang Yu because he thought that she was of a lower status. Her background was unknown so he had not acknowledged her as his daughter-in-law. If it were not for Gu Tian’s protection, he would not have allowed this woman, who did not bring any benefit to them, to enter the Gu family.
However, who would have known that Liu Yi, who had been snubbed by him, was from the Dongfang family?!
"Why would my sister say anything about that? She knows the personality traits of the Gu family very well. She would not have allowed you to drag the whole Dongfang family down. She would rather be looked down by you than to get her entire family involved!"
Dongfang Shaoze’s heart hurt as he thought of his sister’s death. He looked at the Gu family members with killing intent.
"You said that she did not have any merits?" He turned to look at Second Madam Gu, who was shuddering, then laughed, "She was the pearl of the Dongfang family. She had received the best education since she was young and her natural talent was as great as Gu Tian’s. She kept a low profile as she did not want to steal his spotlight. Just the sight of her face could turn countries upside down, countless of people cherish her but she never yearned for attention. She never showed cowardice and she was brave! She was the greatest woman in the world and on this mainland, only Gu Tian could be a match for her! As for you, not only had you spied on Gu Tian, you have even tried to compare yourself to her. Do you have any qualities that can match up with her at all?"
Second Madam Gu bit her lips and stayed silent.
She had been envious of Dongfang Yu and was so jealous that she had become mad! She had then harmed her and Gu Tian but she would never have thought that woman whom she had looked down on was, in fact, the lady of the Dongfang family...
She was even naturally talented enough to be compared with Gu Tian!
How could that vixen be this outstanding?
"Alright, all that you should know have been said to you. Now, it’s time to pay your debt." Dongfang Shaoze smiled," Gu Qing is dead and I have no way of clearing his debt so all of you will have to bear it instead! I will make the Gu family vanish from the face of the earth!"
Even though the Three Great Authorities forbids cultivators to lay a hand on ordinary people, there was no one else around other than those few people who were about to die here. Since there were no witnesses, how would anyone know that he had been the one to kill them?
He had waited for so many years. Now he could finally avenge his sister and brother-in-law...
