Chapter 182 Where are you, ahhh!
Listening to Qiu Ju’s words, although Gu Yu had some doubts in his heart, he did not interrupt at this time, but chose to listen quietly.
After hearing the whole story, Gu Yu raised his hand and scattered the medicinal powder.
Not long after, Qiu Ju died.
Afterwards, Gu Yu carefully tidied up the surroundings, erased his traces, and then withdrew from the ruined temple, and quickly hurried back to the Gu Residence.
The commotion of setting fire to the mansion was not small, but after a long time, it could no longer be concealed.
Fortunately, Gu Yu always liked to stay in his room, unlike Gu Qingheng who liked to wander around and couldn’t stay still.
This behavior made it convenient for Zhou Yi to monitor.
He was not worried about any major problems on Gu Yu’s side, but focused on the surroundings of the Gu Residence, ready to pursue Qiu Ju at any time.
Unfortunately, Qiu Ju had already sent the rescue message to the Gu Residence, and his men were far away in the ruined temple.
No matter how much Zhou Yi racked his brains, he couldn’t guess where Qiu Ju was hiding.
He didn’t know that Gu Yu had already met with Qiu Ju, not only got the location of the lost treasure, but also learned a shocking secret!
It was precisely because of this secret that Gu Yu quickened his pace, wanting to return to the Gu Residence as soon as possible to tell Mengyao this secret!
It just didn’t feel right if only he knew!
He really wanted to tell others!
With this thought, Gu Yu did not waste any time and rushed back to the Gu Residence.
“My heavens! Young master is too bold, daring to set fire in the mansion!”
“Who says he isn’t? I just saw the master rush over in a hurry, with such a dark expression, he must be furious!”
“Will the young master be beaten with a board! After all, our master is upright and incorruptible, and doesn’t have much spare money in his pockets. Repairing the mansion will also cost a lot of silver!”
“This… let’s worry less about it! Let the master and the others decide such matters, and we’ll just watch quietly!”
As soon as they entered the mansion, they immediately heard a group of maids gathered together, chattering. Clearly, the incident of setting fire to the mansion had become serious!
This also allowed Gu Yu to vaguely know the progress of the matter. His eyes flickered, and he immediately had an idea. Then he changed direction and headed towards the place where the fire was.
His younger brother-in-law was also very smart. He knew that he couldn’t burn the courtyard where he lived, otherwise, he wouldn’t know where his residence would be afterwards.
In case Gu Qing became enraged, he might make Gu Qingheng move to the old house.
Thinking of this possibility, Gu Qingheng immediately found a vacant courtyard, and then, as per Gu Yu’s instructions, scattered the flammable powder prepared by Gu Yu all over the courtyard.
Then, he quickly left the courtyard.
Standing outside the courtyard, Gu Qingheng lit the fire starter and threw it directly into the courtyard with a smile.
To be honest, Gu Qingheng was a bit eager to try setting fires.
He felt it would be very exciting.
And now, looking at the raging fire, such a spectacular scene did not disappoint his expectations.
It’s really exciting!
However, upon seeing Gu Qing approaching with a dark face, Gu Qingheng subconsciously shouted “Mother!” and quickly ran away, afraid of being caught and beaten by Gu Qing.
Although Gu Yu said that he might not be punished under the guise of refining medicine.
However, Gu Qing’s intuition told him that he would still get a beating!
He must hold on until his brother-in-law returns!
His brother-in-law was so smart and resourceful, he would definitely be able to persuade his father to spare him the punishment!
“Gu Qingheng, you little brat, stop right there! It’s been three days since I last spanked you, and you’ve already gone up to the roof to tear off tiles, setting the courtyard on fire. Today, I’m going to deal with you properly!”
“Father! Things are not as you see them, let’s talk calmly!”
“No, I need to beat you up first!”
As the negotiation failed, Gu Qingheng knew in his heart that he absolutely could not be caught by his father!
Otherwise, his buttocks would be blooming!
This time, Gu Qingheng exerted all his strength, running frantically, leading Gu Qing around the Gu Residence in circles, thinking that every moment he could delay was a moment gained!
While running, Gu Qingheng also saw the man in the green shirt hiding in the corner of the wall. This made his body stiffen, and his speed slowed down.
The purpose of setting this fire was to help his brother-in-law confuse this Zhou Yi!
Don’t let the other party perceive anything!
Once Gu Yu secretly took the treasure into his hands, Gu Qingheng could also receive a generous reward!
Thinking of this, Gu Qingheng immediately resumed his original speed and continued to flee, shouting “Yiyawei!”
Gu Qing, who was chasing behind him, also appeared at this time, immediately making Gu Qingheng unable to focus on two things at once!
At this moment, Gu Qingheng was extremely grateful that he had learned martial arts from his sister!
Otherwise, he would have been caught from the very beginning, and how could he have lasted this long.
However, when he thought about it carefully, his brother-in-law had been gone for quite some time, why hadn’t he returned yet!
If he doesn’t come back soon, he’ll be finished!
Just as Gu Qingheng was thinking dejectedly, his foot suddenly slipped. If it weren’t for his agile hands, he would have already fallen with a big thud, unable to get up!
Fortunately, it was just a stumble, and then he quickly regained his original speed.
However, Gu Qing, who was chasing behind him, had closed the distance again.
Gu Qingheng subconsciously glanced back, then immediately let out a cry and quickly started running wildly.
He didn’t know if it was due to too much fear, but Gu Qingheng’s speed was unprecedentedly fast!
Soon, he pulled Gu Qing a lot further behind.
It’s not that Gu Qingheng is a rare martial arts prodigy who can be faster than Gu Qing after practicing for such a short time!
But it’s because Gu Yu was willing to invest in his own people!
The large amounts of precious medicinal herbs used on Gu Qingheng and Xi Yang made their martial arts progress by leaps and bounds, with incredibly fast growth rates!
If others knew about this cramming method, they would definitely be extremely envious!
Just seeing such a fast growth rate made many martial artists covetous!
Moreover, with Gu Yu watching, there was no need to worry about deviating from the correct path due to absorbing a large amount of medicinal herbs.
“That bastard in the green shirt dared to plot against him, he’s too shameless!”
After finally catching his breath, Gu Qingheng resentfully said.
Before hearing Gu Yu reveal the true identity of the man in green, Gu Qingheng had a brief encounter with him.
Ever since he discovered that food was missing from the kitchen, Gu Qingheng immediately found the butler and gave him instructions to have everyone pick up their meals on time instead of having others serve them.
In this way, the man in green naturally had no opportunity to act.
Clearly, Gu Qingheng’s instructions angered the man in green… well, he should be called Zhou Yi now.
So, he had just played a prank by flicking a pebble, wanting to make Gu Qingheng fall and be caught and brutally beaten by Gu Qing!
Thinking of this, Gu Qingheng felt a little wronged and couldn’t help but shout loudly: “Brother-in-law, where are you, ahhh!”
“Stop shouting, aren’t you ashamed!”
As soon as Gu Qingheng finished speaking, Gu Yu’s voice immediately rang out.
