Free Web NovelChapter 1919: Chapter 1919: Suspicion
Gu Zhiqi handed Old Master Fu a total of five bottles of elixirs, and at the request of several members of the Immortal Medical Alliance, Old Master Fu poured out a pill from each bottle for them to see.
The people from the Immortal Medical Alliance held the elixirs for a long time, examining them.
Old Master Fu was constantly on guard, fearing they would take the elixirs and run away.
Fortunately, although some indeed wanted to take the elixirs and flee, they lacked the courage and couldn’t get past their moral conscience, so in the end, the elixirs returned intact to Old Master Fu’s hands.
And all the onlookers took in everything.
They didn’t understand elixirs, but when Fu Xiyan said the elixirs were made by Gu Baba, everyone basically believed those elixirs were indeed fifth order, sixth order, and seventh order.
After all, they had witnessed Gu Baba’s freakish abilities on the rankings.
Still, it was somewhat incredible, so they kept waiting for the reaction of the Immortal Medical Alliance.
But when they saw the people from the Immortal Medical Alliance return the elixirs to Old Master Fu without any objections, everyone knew those elixirs were real.
So, was Miss Fu San’s birthday gift really these elixirs?
Did she know Gu Baba?
Wait, Gu Baba, Gu Zhiqi...
Both of them seem to have the surname Gu, and Gu Zhiqi has been in the Secular World for nearly seventeen years, surely she has family.
Could it be that Gu Baba is a relative from Gu Zhiqi’s adoptive parents’ side?
Although this isn’t what everyone thought, many speculated this way.
Unaware of the speculations in people’s hearts, after collecting the elixirs, Old Master Fu smugly said, "Certain people doubting my granddaughter’s gift can’t say anything now, can they?"
As he spoke, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Su Rongsheng.
Su Rongsheng’s expression was unpleasant at this moment, and seeing Old Master Fu look over, the corners of Su Rongsheng’s mouth twitched awkwardly before he said, "Didn’t expect Miss Fu San to know Gu Baba Master, it seems we were shortsighted."
Hearing this, Old Master Fu snorted, saying nothing further.
The banquet continued.
Due to the recent commotion, more eyes fell on Gu Zhiqi. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
The people from the Immortal Medical Alliance wanted to ask Gu Zhiqi about the whereabouts of Gu Baba, but Gu Zhiqi was already chatting with Jin Cenglv.
Elder Lu and others were not unwilling to shamelessly approach, but Meng Yunhe and others from the Mystic Alliance wouldn’t allow it.
Because they had surrounded Gu Zhiqi completely, not giving anyone else a chance to slip in.
Not only could the people from the Immortal Medical Alliance not get through, but others couldn’t either.
Those who couldn’t squeeze in included Su Yunling and Tang Yichen, as well as Su Yiyang, who came to apologize to Gu Zhiqi.
Su Yiyang certainly didn’t come to apologize willingly.
It was Su Rongsheng’s idea.
Su Rongsheng had Shen Qing bring Su Yiyang to apologize to Gu Zhiqi.
To build a closer relationship.
Gu Zhiqi herself might not have much to offer in terms of networking, but knowing Gu Baba was different.
Who wouldn’t want to know a seventh-order Alchemist?
Apologizing to Gu Zhiqi was not something Shen Qing and Su Yiyang wanted from the bottom of their hearts.
After all, they had a conflict with Gu Zhiqi just two days ago, but they didn’t dare defy Su Rongsheng’s instructions.
So, they had to bite the bullet and come.
However, unable to get close to Gu Zhiqi, both Su Yiyang and Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
Thus, the mother and son returned to Su Rongsheng’s side looking dejected, "Dad, we..."
Before Shen Qing could finish, Su Rongsheng interrupted, "No rush, the banquet is long, if you can’t get close now, you can try later, even after it’s over."
