Smashing the Gu Family’s Door Plaque
The power dynamics in the Cloud Plains Continent are intricate and complex. Apart from the enigmatic Cloud City, the Heavenly Sage Dynasty reigns supreme.
Chengyuan Kingdom serves as a vassal state of the Heavenly Sage Dynasty, and the Gu Family stands as the foremost noble family within Chengyuan. Though their prominence may not extend continent-wide, within Chengyuan Kingdom, the Gu Family holds significant sway, even earning deference from the kingdom’s royal household.
The Gu family was able to have such a reputation because they had an amazing daughter, Gu Lingxue.
Anyone who could enter the Qiankun Academy was a genius, far superior to others in one aspect.
Gu Lingxue was able to stand out in the Qiankun Academy.
Everyone believed that in a few years, the Gu family would definitely rise to a higher level with Gu Lingxue’s help.
As a result, numerous individuals sought to establish connections with the Gu family.
Each day, the Gu family bustled with activity.
“Are there any distinguished guests visiting the Gu family today?” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
A passerby, witnessing the bustling scene, grew curious about the commotion before him.
“Don’t you know? Rumor has it that the second branch of the Gu family has forged a friendship with a noble from Harmony Isle. Many people have come seeking an audience with the noble, prompting the
Gu family to host a banquet and extend invitations to give everyone an opportunity to meet the esteemed guest from Harmony Isle.”
“Heavens, Harmony Isle? Could it be the Harmony Isle that I know?”
“There’s no need to doubt that it’s the one you’re thinking of.”
“The Gu family is truly reaching for the sky! They have even established connections with Harmony Isle!”
Harmony Isle was a force that had risen in recent years. Its mysteriousness was no less than the Cloud City.
No one knew the exact location of the Harmony Isle. They only vaguely knew that it was in the East China Sea, where danger lurked everywhere.
Harmony Isle was famous for its pills.
The pills it produced were not only of high grade but also of high quality.
Every medicine had a 30% toxicity level.
In general, medicinal pills would contain trace amounts of harmful substances. No alchemist could refine completely pure medicinal pills. It was only a matter of the alchemist’s skill, resulting in fewer impurities and higher-quality pills.
However, Harmony Isle was an exceptional case.
When the pill was first released, it shocked the world.
From that point on, Harmony Isle garnered countless admirers.
However, Harmony Isle didn’t produce many pills, especially high-grade ones. Only a few bottles were sold each year, and they were sold at exorbitant prices. Moreover, even if someone had the money, it was difficult to obtain them.
Consequently, many people desired to establish a connection with Harmony Isle.
Yet, Harmony Isle remained shrouded in mystery.
To this day, nobody knew the identity of the Island Master of Harmony Isle.
The Gu family already had Gu Lingxue. If they were to establish a friendship with Harmony Isle, it would be like ascending to the heavens.
The living room in the front yard was filled with distinguished guests.
On the seat of honor, there were two middle-aged men sitting on the left and right. They were the Gu family’s patriarch, Gu Zhicheng, and his right-hand man.
On the right was a young man in his twenties. He looked elegant and had a striking temperament.
Everyone’s eyes fell on the man, their eyes filled with curiosity.
At that moment, Gu Jinrong, seated in the first seat on the left, recounted the story of how he had encountered the young man.
“If it weren’t for meeting Mr. Liu, I fear I wouldn’t have been able to wield a sword with this hand.” Gu Jinrong’s voice carried deep emotion as he gazed gratefully at the young man.
The guests gasped in admiration, their gazes toward the young man filled with respect.
“Third Young Master, is your hand fully healed now?” someone inquired.
Gu Jinrong raised his hand and flexed his fingers with a smile on his face. “It has fully recovered.”
A mere half a month ago, his hand had been broken, and now it moved with such agility.
“Mr. Liu is truly extraordinary!”
“As expected of someone from Harmony Isle.”
Praises showered down like snowflakes, filling the room.
As the focal point of this banquet, the man at the head of the table remained unperturbed by the praise and humiliation, with only a faint smile on his lips.
At that moment, a servant hurriedly entered the room.
“Has the Crown Prince arrived?” Gu Zhicheng asked, his spirits stirred.
The servant, in a state of panic, replied, “No, Master, it’s not good… Someone… Someone…”
“Why are you stuttering?” Gu Zhicheng felt embarrassed by the servant’s hesitant demeanor and his expression darkened.
The servant quickly responded, “Someone smashed the plaque at the main gate of the Gu family!”
