NOVEL WEB Chapter 140 The Elixir Was Stolen. What Reason Did Mr. Gu Have To Wrongly Accuse You?
"Um?"
"Girl, do you have a problem with me?"
the other side.
Gu Cheng, who was enjoying fine wine and food and chatting with the elders, seemed not to have expected anyone to come and strike up a conversation.
He was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and looked up in front of him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Jingyao, please don't mess around."
When Hong Tianya saw Hong Jingyao suddenly coming over, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly scolded her.
As the head of the Hong family, Hong Tianya knew that Hong Jingyao was arrogant and arrogant.
On weekdays, Hong Jingyao often does things that go against the rules.
Today I saw her suddenly approaching Gu Cheng.
Hong Tianya secretly screamed something bad and quickly spoke to stop it.
She was afraid that she would say something irrational and offend Mr. Gu.
But what Hong Tianya didn't expect was.
Gu Cheng didn't care about Hong Jingyao's actions and even showed a smile.
"So your name is Jingyao. I noticed you when I came in just now."
Gu Cheng said in a relaxed and easy-going tone without any airs.
As soon as these words came out, not only everyone present was stunned.
Even Hong Jingyao was stunned.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Gu would notice her.
Doesn't this mean that Mr. Gu has a crush on her?
Thinking of this, Hong Jingyao was so happy that she almost couldn't control her inner joy.
However, she was still calm after all.
Suppressing the joy in her heart, she spoke again: "It is a great honor for Jingyao to get Mr. Gu's attention. I wonder if Jingyao can sit next to Mr. Gu and chat with him?"
She whispered in a sweet voice.
She looks so pitiful and ready for you to pick and choose.
This demeanor attracted many young disciples around him to look askance.
"Of course it is possible. Miss Jingyao is so beautiful, how can I remain indifferent to her."
After Gu Cheng finished speaking, he took the jade cup on the table and took a sip.
"Thank you Mr. Gu."
Hong Jingyao was overjoyed when she heard this. She was so happy that she didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Everything was so perfect.
Hong Lian next to Gu Cheng frowned slightly when he saw how the situation was developing, with a look of worry in his eyes.
She wanted to speak to remind the young master not to be deceived by the woman in front of her.
She grew up in Hong's family and knew very well what kind of person Hong Jingyao was.
Hong Jingyao appears to be gentle and kind, but in fact she has a deep mind and likes to cling to strong people.
This kind of woman is not worthy of the young master at all.
Hong Lian pursed his lips slightly, hesitating whether he should tell the young master.
Seeing Hong Lian's worried expression, Gu Cheng raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
Hong Lian's behavior and eyes could not escape his sight at all.
He gently squeezed Hong Lian's fair and delicate hands, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
"Do not worry."
"My young master knows it well."
A glimmer of light flashed across Gu Cheng's eyes, and he spoke to Hong Lian through a message.
Hong Lian lowered his eyes slightly after hearing his words.
Hiding the worry in his heart, he leaned close to her obediently.
"Gu would also like to sit and chat with Jingyao."
"But, before that."
"Please ask Miss Jingyao to explain the theft of the elixir in my house."
Seeing Hong Jingyao lifting the wine glass on the table, she wanted to add more wine to him.
Gu Cheng raised the corners of his mouth in a joking manner, staring at Hong Jingyao and said.
steal? !
Was Mr. Gu's elixir stolen by her?
Is this a joke?
As soon as Gu Cheng finished speaking, it was like dropping a boulder in the calm amber, causing an uproar in an instant.
All the guests were shocked and focused their attention on Hong Jingyao.
As a member of the Hong family, stealing Mr. Gu's elixir would be a shameless death.
This woman is so bold. Do you think she can do whatever she wants in the Hong family?
The elders from the red family who were still smiling next to them were also stunned for a moment, and they almost couldn't hold their wine glasses steady.
"Steal...steal the elixir?!"
"Mr. Gu, are you mistaken?"
"I admire you very much, how could I steal your elixir."
Hong Jingyao's face turned pale and she looked at Gu Cheng in disbelief, almost unable to believe her ears.
Some time ago, she secretly learned that the Lin family in Ming'an Town wanted to annex the Hong family.
He had already packed up his belongings and ran out.
It wasn't until Gu Cheng killed Master Zonghuan that he dared to come back.
Today was the first day she met Gu Cheng. How could she have stolen Gu Cheng's elixir?
"You stole my elixir, I saw it with my own eyes last night."
"It's just that last night I was thinking about Master Zonghuan's arrival, so I wanted to concentrate on dealing with him, so I didn't want to cause any trouble."
"I originally thought that you are a member of Lian'er's clan, and I have some connections with the Hong family. As long as you don't show up, I will let you go."
"I didn't expect you to be so bold. Not only did you not hide, you actually appeared in front of me openly."
"Do you think Gu is a fool?"
The smile on Gu Cheng's face slowly faded, his eyes were fixed on Hong Jingyao, and his words were majestic.
The voice was cold, with a harsh meaning, and it struck the opponent word by word.
Even the sect elders present could not help but shudder.
"Mr. Gu, I dare to ask."
"What pill did you lose?"
The Hong family elder next to him asked tremblingly.
As a distinguished guest of the Red Mansion, Gu Cheng has a very high status.
When they were guests in the Hong Mansion, something like this happened, and the Hong Family naturally couldn't let it go.
"What Gu lost was a Nine-Tune Lingyuan Pill."
Gu Cheng said.
"Hiss~"
The elders of the sect present heard the Jiuqu Lingyuan Pill and all involuntarily took a breath.
"The Nine-Tune Lingyuan Pill is an Earth Rank High Grade pill, close to Heavenly Rank."
"Its effect can help Martial Artist break through bottlenecks."
"If a cultivator takes it, it can greatly increase the probability of promotion."
"It's priceless."
"Even if I spend seven or eight years of my salary, I can barely buy one."
An elder of the sect who usually studies elixirs said in shock.
Take...an elixir close to Heavenly Rank? !
After hearing the words of the sect elders, all the elders of the Hong family changed their expressions.
Hong Tianya couldn't even close his mouth.
An elixir close to Heavenly Rank.
Even if they sell their entire Hong family, they can't afford the compensation.
Where did Hong Jingyao get the courage?
"I... Mr. Gu, I was really wronged. I didn't..."
Hong Jingyao was so frightened that her face turned pale and she hurriedly defended herself.
"You didn't steal it. Could it be that Gu has a bad memory and made a mistake?"
"Or do you think that Mr. Gu went out of his way to wrongly accuse you in public?"
Gu Cheng scolded coldly.
There was a hint of gloomy anger on his handsome face.
The guests on the side fell silent when they saw Gu Cheng's sudden burst of anger.
The originally lively and noisy banquet turned into a completely silent atmosphere.
However, in their hearts, they are all on Gu Cheng's side.
After all, what they said makes sense.
As the young master of the Heavenly Sword Gu Family, he has a noble status.
His own innate strength is also extremely powerful.
The two are not from the same world at all.
There is no need to accuse you wrongly.
