"Stash the pill formulas in a safe place. You can hand it over to me once you have returned."
"Yes, adoptive father!"
Gu Xianglin was thrilled. He could imagine how he has gained his adoptive father’s full trust and be conferred as his successor...
Just in that moment, there was a knock at the door. Gu Xianglin frowned and terminated the connection with the middle-aged man. He then lifted his head and saw Second Master Gu entering the study. His knotted brows instantly relaxed.
"Father, what is it?"
"This…" Second Master Gu rubbed his knuckles as he laughed, "I heard that you managed to snatch two pill formulas from Gu Ruoyun?"
