The current Ninth Lord’s Estate was no longer as magnificent as it had been in the past. Even the door was broken. The surrounding walls were at least ten times more damaged. People passing by could vaguely see what was inside. The place looked dilapidated.
But even so, its defense was still strong. It would not be easy to casually enter. If they were not careful, they would lose their lives.
Therefore, despite looking run-down, the people outside did not dare to have any thoughts. Furthermore, the Ninth Lord’s Estate had been on the rise recently. They could not be provoked. Coupled with the fact that the Heavenly Saints Empire was in chaos, no one dared to cause trouble at this time.
No matter how things developed outside, the Ninth Lord’s Estate was still the same. Everyone just had to do their own thing. They did not care even if the sky collapsed outside.
Gu Jinyuan did not follow everyone out to shop. He was in charge of the pills. He was about to send people to spread the news of the medicinal pills being exchanged for treasures when the butler came to look for him. “Young Master Gu, a group of people has come to see you.”
“Who wants to see me?” Gu Jinyuan thought that it might be someone from the Heavenly Treasure Trading Company coming to settle scores with him, but after thinking about it, he found it impossible.
Those guys were not stupid enough to come to the Lord’s Estate to cause trouble for him. The news of the pills had not yet spread, so they couldn’t be here for that either.
Who would want to see him?
“I don’t know who it is either. The other party has quite the attitude. The moment they came, they directly asked to see you, not even mentioning the Lord. Look at them. They don’t seem to take the Lord and the Consort seriously. Although I’m a little displeased, the other party is here for you, so I didn’t say much. Besides, I’m just a servant. It’s best to let the masters make the decision.”
“Alright, I’ll take a look.” Gu Jinyuan said.
Right then, a guard ran over to report. “Butler, bad news. Those people outside the door are making a fuss. They said that our Ninth Lord’s Estate didn’t entertain their miss well and want us to go out and apologize to her.”
A cold smile appeared on the butler’s face. “Another person who overestimates themselves.”
He had seen too many similar people. No matter how tragic their outcome was, he would not pity them.
Gu Jinyuan and the butler had the same thought, but he was really curious about who was looking for him. From the new news reported by the guard, he was certain that the guest was not from the Heavenly Treasure Trading Company; they would not make such a joke.
The mighty team from before had stopped outside the Ninth Lord’s Estate’s gate. As no one came to welcome them, someone started making a fuss, clamoring for the people from the estate to receive them properly.
The commoners gathered around to watch the scene. Hearing the words of the troublemakers, they all mocked them secretly and even started whispering.
“Which arrogant idiot came to the Ninth Lord’s Estate to cause trouble?��
“Who knows? There are idiots every year, but there are especially many nowadays!”
“That might not be the case. Look at this person’s lineup. They might have a powerful background. Perhaps they’re really not afraid of the Ninth Lord’s Estate.”
“Who cares if they’re afraid? Anyway, there’s going to be a good show later.”
