One of the women immediately replied, “Mr. Wang is about to reach the level of Master. He’s the pride of the family. Also, he’s handsome and funny. Everybody in Pale Emperor City likes him.”
Gu Bailu smiled. “Is that so? If Mr. Wang is so great, isn’t it a disgrace to marry me?”
The other woman said, “Although you’re not as good as my son, I like a daughter-in-law who doesn’t have spiritual power the best. It doesn’t matter, as long as you treat me and my son well. There are plenty of experts in the house with high cultivation levels.”
She made the Wang family sound as if it was a marvelous place.
Gu Bailu looked at her. “You’re Mr. Wang’s mother, right?”
The lady sat upright, obviously satisfied with her. “You’re lucky to be marrying my son.”
“What are you going to do if I don’t agree?” Gu Bailu asked carefully.
The lady’s face immediately changed. “How dare you? Are you going back on your promise, General Gu?”
“Of course not. She was just joking with you.” The general’s wife hurried to comfort her.
Gu Zongxiong became solemn. “Gu Bailu, you’re lucky to be able to marry Mr. Wang given your condition. The wedding will be held in a couple of days.”
Gu Bailu scoffed. “How many betrothal gifts did they give you?”
Gu Zongxiong said coldly, “It’s none of your business. Just stay in the house. You’ve been expelled by Cloud Mirror Academy.”
Gu Bailu looked at her guards. She had been expelled by Cloud Mirror Academy?
The guards appeared as if they knew nothing about it at all.
Gu Bailu stood up and looked at Gu Zongxiong. “I told you before that this house belongs to my mother and her father. You better wake up if you want to marry me out of here.”
Gu Bailu sneered at Gu Zongxiong and ignored Mrs. Wang before she left the hall.
“You have to! I’m your father!”
Hearing Gu Zongxiong’s roar, Gu Bailu smiled.
Yes, you’re my father, but you’re just a grandson in front of Feng Qingtian.
On the other hand, exactly who was the Wang family?
“Do you know the Wang family?” asked Gu Bailu.
One of the guards replied expressionlessly, “It’s not as good as the Murong family, but it has plenty of experts. The woman just now is a concubine of the third branch of the family.”
Gu Bailu looked at him in surprise, not expecting the Ye guards to know so much about the noble families of Southern Glory Empire.
He even knew that the woman was a concubine of a secondary branch.
Was it possible that they knew when the concubine was taken, too?
“Okay, is this concubine frequented often?”
The guard was still expressionless. “A couple of times per month, probably. I don’t know much.”
“You don’t know much?”
They must’ve been eavesdropping to know that!
Gu Bailu suddenly felt that Feng Qingtian was scary.
“Is Mr. Wang really as good as the matchmaker described?”
The guard finally showed contempt. “He’s not nearly as good as our lord.”
The other guy glanced at him. “You’re comparing that idiot with our lord?”
