Gu Master Era: My Toad Swallowed the School Beauty at the Beginning

Yan Ruoyun was crying sadly when an old and peaceful voice came from outside the door, saying, "Our Yan family governs the household with Confucianism, emphasizing parental kindness and filial piety, but we also believe in righteousness prevailing over evil and upholding our original intentions! How could a dignified Confucian family sell their daughter for survival! Hua Jinlong, the Yan family rejects your Hua family's demands. If you dare to come and pester us again, even if Hua Qianwu comes, he won't be able to save you. Go back!"

As he spoke, an old man with completely white hair walked into the living room, leaning on a cane.

This old man was Yan Ruoyun's grandfather, the previous head of the Yan family, Yan Wenshan.

"Grandpa!"

Yan Ruoyun cried and threw herself into her grandfather's arms.

Yan Wenshan patted his granddaughter's back and said, "Ruoyun, there are guests present, don't cry!"

"But, Grandpa, I can't let Daddy die, I have to save him…"

"Alas, life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are in the hands of fate. If he truly can't be cured, then that is his fate! But you are still young, your life has just begun. You can't let your father's matter affect your entire destiny! Otherwise, even if your father is cured, he won't forgive himself!"

Hua Jinlong's face was ashen. He knew that his plan to coerce the Yan family had failed.

Not only would he not get Yan Ruoyun, but he had also ruined the Hua family's plan.

Over the past few decades, the Hua family had developed rapidly, greatly increasing its strength, and its ambitions had grown accordingly.

In comparison, although the Yan family had maintained its strength as one of the three major families over the past few decades, it had begun to decline due to a lack of descendants.

In Yan Ruoyun's generation, the Yan family only had one direct descendant, a girl.

Therefore, the Hua family had been pushing for a marriage alliance with the Yan family. If Hua Jinlong could marry Yan Ruoyun, the Hua family could justifiably interfere in the Yan family's affairs, gradually eroding the Yan family. In a few decades, the entire Yan family would become a vassal of the Hua family.

By that time, even the Zhong family would be at a disadvantage, and the Hua family would inevitably become the largest family in Golden Bell City.

Therefore, when Yan Ruoyun's father, Yan Shutong, was seriously injured and needed spiritual herbs to treat his spiritual origin damage, the Hua family immediately saw an opportunity and proposed the condition of Yan Ruoyun marrying Hua Jinlong to coerce the Yan family into submission.

Unexpectedly, the Yan family's backbone was so strong.

With Old Master Yan Wenshan's word, the matter was settled, and no one could change it.

Despite Yan Wenshan's seemingly senile appearance, he was one of the top experts in Golden Bell City, and even the Hua family's Old Master Hua Qianwu was no match for him.

Hua Jinlong didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Old Master Yan, but he couldn't vent the anger in his heart. Seeing Wang Xiao sitting on the side, leisurely drinking tea and watching the show, he was instantly enraged.

"Wang Xiao, you lowly brat, you dared to insult me just now, I won't spare you!"

As Hua Jinlong spoke, he raised his hand and released a black light, attacking Wang Xiao.

A system prompt instantly sounded in Wang Xiao's mind: "Warning! The host is under attack by the Golden Spirit Gu 'Double-Tailed Scorpion'. Please evade or defend immediately…"

Wang Xiao's face turned cold. If you want to fight, then fight. I'm not afraid of you. So what if you have a Golden Spirit Gu!

With a thought, the Giant Stone Bullfrog stood in front of him.

Just as Wang Xiao was about to summon the Poison Dart Frog squad to counterattack, he suddenly heard a "thump" sound.

With this sound, the entire living room seemed to freeze in time. The black light released by Hua Jinlong was bound by an invisible force and stopped in mid-air. Only then did Wang Xiao see clearly that it was a spirit gu in the form of a scorpion with two tails.

Double-Tailed Scorpion, a mutated species of poisonous scorpion, and a Golden quality spirit gu, extremely rare!

"Thump!"

Another sound rang out as Old Master Yan slammed his cane heavily on the ground.

The Double-Tailed Scorpion was immediately shattered by an invisible force, turning into dust and falling down.

Hua Jinlong's spirit gu was killed, and he himself suffered a backlash, letting out a miserable scream and collapsing to the ground: "Ah… my Double-Tailed Scorpion!"

Old Master Yan said in a deep voice: "Hua Jinlong, you are too presumptuous! You dare to attack my Yan family's guest in my Yan family's residence. This time, I will only punish your spirit gu. If you dare to do it again, I won't spare you either!"

The old master then instructed: "Yan Ping, Yan An, escort Young Master Hua back to his residence!"

Two figures instantly appeared in the room, bowing and saying: "Yes!"

The two immediately picked up Hua Jinlong, who was slumped on the ground, and left the living room in the blink of an eye.

Wang Xiao shouted in his heart: "Yan Ruoyun's grandfather is awesome, he defeated Hua Jinlong without even using spirit gu! Even Hua Jinlong's Golden Spirit Gu 'Double-Tailed Scorpion' was killed! High-level Gu Masters are really terrifying! I wonder if Hua Jinlong refined the Double-Tailed Scorpion into his Natal Gu. If it was his Natal Gu, then Hua Jinlong would be finished!"

After dealing with Hua Jinlong, the old master said to Wang Xiao: "Little friend, you've seen a joke!"

Wang Xiao immediately stood up and came to the old master, respectfully saluting: "Junior Wang Xiao, pays respects to Grandpa Yan!"

Old Master Yan nodded: "Yes, you and Ruoyun are classmates, you two chat more, I, the old man, won't interfere in your young people's affairs!"

Wang Xiao quickly said: "Grandpa Yan, please wait! Junior heard that Uncle Yan's health is not well, so I brought a few spiritual herbs to visit!"

As he spoke, he took out a small box from his space snail and handed it over with both hands.

Old Master Yan shook his head and sighed: "You have a kind heart, but Ruoyun's father's injury cannot be cured by ordinary spiritual herbs!"

Wang Xiao smiled: "Why doesn't Grandpa Yan open it and take a look!"

Old Master Yan shook his head and sighed. He didn't believe that Wang Xiao, a child, could produce spiritual herbs to treat spiritual origin damage.

Yan Ruoyun was dissatisfied: "Wang Xiao, why are you being so mysterious? Just say what it is!"

As she spoke, she snatched the wooden box and opened it.

Instantly, a faint fragrance filled the entire room, and everyone immediately felt refreshed.

Yan Ruoyun picked up a vibrant green spiritual herb from the box: "Oh, what is this spiritual herb? I've never seen it before!"

Old Master Yan's expression changed drastically. He took the box and carefully examined the spiritual herb, then said excitedly: "Shaped like a swift, serrated lines like waves, smelling it awakens the spirit, those with spiritual damage can be cured by taking it… This… This is the 'Swiftgrass' recorded in the 《Gu Medicine Herbal》!"

Wang Xiao immediately flattered: "Grandpa Yan has good knowledge!"

Yan Wenshan was overjoyed: "My son is saved!"

His eyes were filled with tears of excitement: "Little friend, you have saved our Yan family, please accept a bow from this old man!"

As the old master spoke, he bowed.

Wang Xiao was so frightened that he knelt down in front of him with a thud: "Grandpa Yan, aren't you killing me? Ruoyun and I are classmates, her affairs are my affairs, how could I stand by and watch without helping?"

Old Master Yan nodded with relief: "Good, good child, please get up quickly!"

Yan Ruoyun seemed to be dumbfounded. Only then did she come back to her senses and screamed in surprise, hugging Wang Xiao: "Wang Xiao, thank you, thank you so much, you saved my father! Wuwuwu…"

Being hugged by a beautiful woman is a wonderful and happy thing.

But now her grandfather is watching.

He had no choice but to give up the idea of taking advantage of the situation and said righteously: "Haha, Yan Ruoyun, we are classmates, we should help each other, saying thank you is too much!"

Yan Wenshan said with a smile: "Ruoyun, you accompany Wang Xiao first, I'll go give your father the medicine!"

Yan Ruoyun quickly said: "I'll go too!"

Yan Wenshan stopped her: "You don't need to go, after this medicine is used, your father won't wake up until tomorrow. You accompany Wang Xiao! Wang Xiao, our Yan family's garden was personally managed by this old man, the scenery is quite good, let Ruoyun take you around."

Wang Xiao quickly nodded: "Okay, Grandpa Yan, please go heal Uncle first, Yan Ruoyun can accompany me!"
