Chapter 1044
Nevertheless, Zheng Tianwu firmly believed that there must be some misunderstandings between Zheng Gong and Gu Yiyi. Hence, Gu Yiyi had sown discord between You Lan and Zheng Gong. Subsequently, You Lan distanced herself from Zheng Gong.

Gu Yiyi could not help but stop in her tracks. She could recall the things that had happened the day she left Tian Shen Manor—a noble lady had thrown money at a modestly dressed young lady. The noble lady looked down at the young lady condescendingly as she said with a flamboyant and exaggerated tone, “Take this one thousand dollars worth of notes and stay away from my son.”
They were one thousand dollars worth of notes!
Gu Yiyi had never thought that this would happen to her. After all, her father was Gu Shi.
However, Gu Yiyi did not burst with anger. Instead, she was amused. She could not help but laugh.
“A piece of Grade-5 spirit herb is nothing. Back then, when Xiao Qing helped me to lose weight, Grade-6 spirit herb was a part of the token of gratitude that I have given her in return. However, if you truly want me to leave, I will tell the eldest prince later that you want me to leave and that it was not my intention.”
Zheng Tianwu’s face darkened a little, but he paid no heed to Gu Yiyi’s words.
“Grade-6 spirit herb? You have overestimated yourself.”
“Unfortunately, the Grade-6 spirit herb is not good enough for me. I regret what I have said. I will tell the eldest prince that you want me to leave, but I will never do so unless you give me one thousand pieces of Grade-8 spirit herbs. I would immediately leave without looking back then.”
‘Grade-8 spirit herb! You slut! You are no different than a robber!’
Although Gu Yiyi was a gorgeous lady, she was feminine at all. Her overbearing demeanor was annoyed.
“Maiden Gu, you seem to prefer rough treatment, don’t you?”
“No, I don’t.”
Zheng Tianwu could not stay any longer. He was afraid that he could no longer hold back his anger and might just kill Gu Yiyi. Hence, he took a deep breath. His murderous briefly scanned Gu Yiyi’s face before he turned to leave.
Zheng Tianwu stumbled away. His body was trembling. Apparently, he was extremely indignant.
“He is a marquis, but his emotional intelligence is too low. I have only just said a few words, but he had exploded with anger. If he continued talking to me, he would have died from anger.” Gu Yiyi pouted disdainfully.
It was something great indeed. At least Zheng Tianwu would never look for Gu Yiyi anymore.
Thinking of this, Gu Yiyi broke into tears. She missed Feng Ruqing, Gu Shi, Xiao Yin, and her second uncle so badly.
It had been a year. Had they tasked anyone to look for Gu Yiyi? Were they doing well?
***
In the depth of the Forest of Spirit Beasts.
A young lady was sitting with her legs crossed by the pool. A faint beam of sunlight poured over her face. She opened her eyes, she looked calm and serene.
“It’s been a year...”
Initially, she had wanted to make a breakthrough to Advanced Dark Warrior tier. However, she had not made it even after a year of cultivation.
It seemed that she was stuck in a cultivation bottleneck where she just could not make a breakthrough.
On the contrary, ever since the spirit beasts had stopped drinking the contaminated water and with the help of the sacred water, their strength had improved by leaps and bounds.
Even Feng Ruqing was shocked at the speed of the spirit beasts’ improvement.
The most talented wolfhound had even attained Tier-6 strength. Perhaps, it could even attain Tier-7 strength if it was given a chance.
