Chapter 155: Appearance is the Best Method of Detection
“Li Wang, Gu Yu is in!”
“Be extremely vigilant when he comes out later, Gu Yu is a very smart person, don’t let him discover our existence.”
“The Prince has been caught and thrown in prison, shouldn’t we be trying to rescue the Prince? Why are we just watching Gu Yu here!”
“Someone is already thinking of a way to save him, but I feel that Zhou Li, that pig-headed and obese guy, cannot possibly be of royal bloodline… mainly because he is too ugly. The Shangguan family are all beauties, how could they have produced such a guy.”
“…”
Near where the alliance was undertaking the commissioned mission, a group of people were secretly ambushing. Upon seeing Gu Yu enter, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and then had the leisure to start chatting.
However, in response to others’ questions, Li Wang said his judgment with a solemn expression.
Upon hearing his words, the others fell silent.
Although that was the general idea, to determine someone was not of royal bloodline based solely on their face was too hasty!
Now, all the evidence indicated… Zhou Li was the lost young prince from years ago!
The organization was also very shocked upon receiving this news!
After all, they had previously placed their hopes on Gu Yu, but now Zhou Li had appeared. With all the evidence in place, no one could raise any objections.
Thus, Gu Yu, who was initially the seed of hope, directly turned into a neglected weed.
No matter how smart Gu Yu was, it was useless if he was not of royal bloodline… It was also a fortunate coincidence of timing, otherwise, they would have made a huge mistake!
If Gu Yu were truly allowed to ascend the throne, the royal bloodline would be polluted!!!
“Even good bamboo can produce bad sprouts, it’s not unheard of…”
While everyone was speechless, someone quickly reacted.
Upon hearing the words spoken at this moment, the others immediately nodded in agreement.
One shouldn’t just look at appearances. One shouldn’t negate Zhou Li’s royal bloodline just because he is ugly… Even if Gu Yu is handsome, if he doesn’t have the Shangguan family’s blood flowing in him, what’s the use!
If Gu Yu were a woman, it might be considered to enfeoff her as a consort, providing a more optimized outcome for the Shangguan family’s bloodline.
“Hmph, if that’s the case, why don’t you look at the imperial family members of past dynasties? Which one of them was ugly? Even the First Emperor was incredibly handsome. Every time concubines were selected to enter the palace, they were strictly screened. Look at Zhou Li’s ugly appearance, how could he be one of the royal family!”
“Regardless, Zhou Li is also a Prince. Li Wang, you’d best not be so radical!”
“I’m radical? It’s you who are too confused. This situation is clearly a meticulously crafted deception by Gu Yu, intending to trick you and the Emperor, and then easily escape himself! Although he is very smart, he cannot hide it from me, Li Wang!”
“Enough! Whatever you want to do is your business, just don’t drag us into it! We originally thought of guarding here as a matter of our years of friendship, but you are unrepentant… Forget it, I’m not staying here. The Prince is still waiting to be rescued!”
“I’m not staying here either. I heard Gu Yu is not someone easy to deal with. If something else happens, it won’t be good!”
“Rescuing the Prince is the important matter now, we cannot delay any further.”
“Li Wang, I’ll help you next time.”
With the first person taking the lead, more people spoke up. After everyone left one by one, only Li Wang was left in the original spot.
Seeing the figures of those leaving around him, Li Wang was not too saddened.
After all, geniuses were often lonely.
Because he was too smart, he was different from others!
As Li Wang had thought… the reason others were willing to come this time was due to Li Wang’s many merits, and they wanted to curry favor.
However, they had underestimated Li Wang’s personality.
Such a non-conformist person was impossible to get along with!
Even if they built goodwill with him, they wouldn’t gain anything useful! If that was the case, it would be better to rescue the Prince from prison and then make a good impression on him, wouldn’t that be better!
“Alas, these fools don’t even realize they are being toyed with by Gu Yu. I am the smart one!”
Muttering these words, Li Wang shook his head helplessly. Then, without thinking further, he focused on waiting for Gu Yu to come out.
The reason he had looked for others before was because Gu Yu’s actions were unpredictable, and he couldn’t handle it alone.
It was like how courage comes in numbers…
But now, seeing these people’s insincere attitudes, they were of no use.
It was better for him to be useful alone!
“Lord Gu, you came alone? I’ll get a carriage to take you back!”
“No need, it’s not far. I’ll walk back. You should go back quickly, guests will be arriving soon.”
Finally, Gu Yu came out!
After bidding farewell to a person fully cloaked in black, Gu Yu, with a relaxed expression, put his hands in his sleeves and walked leisurely down the street.
When Li Wang saw Gu Yu’s face, he was even more certain that Gu Yu was of royal bloodline.
With such outstanding looks, apart from people of the Shangguan family, there was no one else!!!
His heart filled with excitement, Li Wang followed behind Gu Yu, cheering himself on mentally. He thought that even if Gu Yu was cunning, he couldn’t back down… he had to capture Gu Yu and force him to reveal his true identity.
Originally, Li Wang had a better plan.
But without people and without money, even if he had other plans, they wouldn’t work.
He could only act himself!
“Gu Yu, stop! I know your true identity. You are of royal bloodline. Now that you’ve set up such a big scheme, what is it for!!!”
As Gu Yu ambled into a narrow alley, Li Wang immediately seized the opportunity and shouted at Gu Yu walking in front of him.
Then, Gu Yu stopped.
“You know?”
“Of course I do! People of royal bloodline are all extremely outstanding in appearance, but with Zhou Li’s ugly appearance, how could he be the lost prince from back then!”
“Beautiful… I did overlook that point.”
“Haha, you admit it! I knew my speculation was correct.”
While being denied by others, Li Wang felt uncomfortable, but upon hearing Gu Yu’s direct admission now, all the past grievances were blown away, and he straightened his back again!
He knew that appearance was the best method of detection!
Someone as beautiful as Gu Yu was definitely not simple!
Now that Gu Yu had revealed the result of his own accord, even if he were killed by Gu Yu now, he would have no regrets!
Because he was right!
