Miss Nine

Chapter 59 Homecoming
Gu Jiuli looked down at the Gu family compound not far away, and felt a sense of belonging that she had never felt before. She had only been away for four months, but Gu Jiuli felt that she had never had such an emotion for a certain place. , this is, home?

Thinking of this, Gu Jiuli couldn't help speeding up his pace.

However, as soon as he stepped into Gu's house, he saw a few servants leading an old man who looked like a doctor hurriedly towards his yard from a distance.

Gu Jiu's heart tightened. Could it be that something happened to Gu Qingyi in this direction?
Thinking of Gu Qingyi's anomaly before leaving, Gu Jiuli had a bad premonition in his heart, immediately explained to Gu Mengmeng and Mo Yi, and rushed towards Gu Qingyi's yard at a faster speed.

"Young Master Tsing Yi made a forced breakthrough, which led to his insanity and damage to his meridians. The body is fine, but with this level of cultivation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make progress in the future, and may even gradually regress." Gu Jiuli had just stepped into the gate of the courtyard. An old voice was heard.

"Well, what should I do? Tsing Yi is the most talented person in my Gu family besides Xiao Jiu. How could this be?" Second Elder Gu Qingba said in a panic.

Gu Qingcang frowned tightly and couldn't understand why such a thing happened. He knew Gu Qingyi's character, and he was definitely not a person who is eager for success. How could he force a breakthrough?
Looking at the pale young man with his eyes closed, Gu Qingcang sighed in his heart. If he could not improve his cultivation, it would be a huge blow to this proud young man. I just hope he can think more openly.

"Grandpa, all the elders, let me take a look at Tsing Yi." When everyone was frowning, a lazy and pleasant voice sounded like the sound of heaven, as if a clear spring poured into their hearts, bringing them infinite hope.

"Li'er! You're finally back!" Gu Qingcang turned his head overjoyed, and seeing the girl in red at the door, his heart that had been carrying him finally fell to the ground.

"Grandpa, I'll talk about it later, let me take a look at Tsing Yi first." Gu Jiuli nodded slightly to greet everyone, now is not the time to reminisce about the old days, Tsing Yi's injury is more important.

"That's right, let's take a look at Tsing Yi first." The elders nodded repeatedly. Although Gu Qingyi was only an adopted child, he has been part of the Gu family for so many years. Naturally, the elders were sincerely worried about his injury. .

They all knew that Xiao Jiu of their Gu family was already a second-rank alchemist, and she would definitely find a way to cure Gu Qingyi!
I saw that everyone moved to the two sides one after another, leaving room for Gu Jiuli.

Gu Jiuli stepped forward quickly, and was about to reach out, but was stopped by an old hand.

The old man looked dissatisfied at the people who took care of the family: "The elders are confused. Although Miss Nine has outstanding talents, saving people and curing diseases is not the same as practicing. It is not something that just anyone can see."

Gu Jiuli followed the voice and found that this person was the only first-grade alchemist in the Gu family—Master Yun.

Master Yun has been doing his best to the Gu family for many years, so Gu Jiuli also has some respect. Gu Jiuli clasped his fists and said modestly: "Jiuli is not talented, and he has a little knowledge of medical skills. Also, Master Yun, please wait for a while, let the little girl take the No. [-] pulse for my brother first."

"Hmph, the little girl is so ignorant of the heights of the heavens and the earth, and has profound medical skills. How can a girl of your age understand it, and dare to speak so brazenly?" Unexpectedly, Master Yun didn't believe Gu Jiuli's words at all. With a flick of his sleeves, he said with his nostrils upturned.

Gu Jiuli's eyes were getting darker. If this old man didn't see that he was still a member of the Gu family, he would have kicked him out when he reached out to stop her. How could he dare to be so ignorant? It seems that all these years The Gu family treated him so well that he didn't even know who he was!
A mere first-grade alchemist is so arrogant!
At this time, not only Gu Jiuli, but even the elders of the Gu family who had a good relationship with Master Yun all showed displeasure.

"Master Yun, these words are too much. Although Xiaojiu is young, she is by no means a person who will shoot the target indiscriminately. When she says she knows medicine, she must not be talking nonsense!" Gu Jiuli did not expect that the first person to speak for her was the former The Great Elder who has the greatest opinion on her.

Gu Jiu's heart was slightly warmed, but the expression on his face did not change at all.

She knew that her grandfathers had a good relationship with this Master Yun, but because this Master Yun was an alchemist, he naturally carried an arrogance of being superior to others.

Gu Jiuli hoped that the Gu family would be solid, so that she could leave with peace of mind.

So he can be proud, if he has enough proud capital, but the premise is that he can't think he is superior to others in the Gu family!
Today, she is going to sharpen the arrogance of Master Yun!
Seeing that the atmosphere became a little tense, Gu Qingxiu, the fifth elder with the best temper, came out to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, we're all on our own, why bother to fight each other like this."

Gu Jiuli smiled slightly: "Grandpa Fifth is right, but since Master Yun looks down on Miss Ben so much, why don't we make a bet?"

"Oh? Miss Jiu, tell me how to gamble?" Master Yun raised his hand to stroke his black and white beard, raised his head slightly, and said confidently and calmly.

Gu Jiuli flinched, he really didn't understand where a first-grade alchemist got such a strong self-confidence.

However, completely "subduing" this person can be regarded as adding a boost to the Gu family, so it's okay to play with him.

"It's very simple, just bet on whether you will be convinced after I treat Tsing Yi." Gu Jiuli said flatly, speaking in the most flat tone but extremely arrogant.

"Hahahahahahaha..." A burst of laughter suddenly sounded: "Ignorant child, you are indeed young and frivolous, well, so what if I bet with you!"

Master Yun said with a smile on his face, looking at Gu Jiuli was like looking at an ignorant child.

Is this a gamble?In any case, as long as he refuses to accept it, what can she do to him!

"Wait a minute." Gu Jiuli said suddenly.

"Oh? What's the matter? Didn't Miss Jiu regret it now?" Master Yun raised his eyebrows amusedly, and asked as a matter of course.

"Of course not, it's just that since it's a bet, how can it be done without a bet?"

Master Yun was stunned for a moment, but at the same time he understood it, and said indifferently: "That's natural, since Miss Jiu made the bet, and Miss Jiu has the final say on the bet, the old man has no objections."

"Oh? I've got the final say, Master, you really mean what you say?" Gu Jiuli smiled like a cunning little fox.

The elders of the Gu family wanted to stop them, but seeing Gu Jiuli's expression, they all stopped thinking about it. Presumably, Li'er (Xiao Jiu) had her own plans, and these old guys should not make trouble for her. .

"Of course it is true, what the old man said is not true!" Master Yun flicked his sleeves, his face full of displeasure, as if Gu Jiuli's question was disrespectful to him.

"Okay!" Gu Jiuli snapped his fingers suddenly: "Since that's the case, then so be it. If I lose, you can use the resources of the Gu family from now on, and I will also let you dispose of them."

Master Yun's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak, but Gu Jiuli instantly hid the smile on his face, and his tone turned cold: "However, if you lose, you have to swear a blood oath on the spot. I swear allegiance to the Gu family to the death, and in the future you must hand in [-]% of the pills you refine for the family!"

Everyone froze in place, the gamble was too big.

Not to mention that Gu Jiuli bet on his resources and the Gu family's resources, this is definitely the biggest bet for the Gu family!
Besides, this blood oath is definitely a great shame and humiliation for the noble alchemist!
The alchemist and the family are just a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship, and there is no rigid restraint. If the alchemist is unwilling, he can leave at any time. The family has no right to stop him. This blood oath of loyalty to the death has never been heard of before. There will be an alchemist who is willing to agree.

There is also [-]% of the pills. Generally speaking, an alchemist can hand in [-]% of the pills on average, which is already a lot. Sixty percent, is that too exaggerated?I have never heard of such an "unequal treaty" in the alchemy world.

"Xiao Jiu, don't mess around!" the Great Elder shouted loudly to stop.

Hearing the Great Elder's words, Master Yun immediately burst into a mocking smile because he felt insulted and his flushed old face just now, he just said, how could such a big Gu family not have a rational person, any With such a little girl messing around with movies, besides, how could a mere junior be the head of the Gu family, and dare to bet the entire Gu family's resources? It's simply ignorant!
However, the next moment, his smile froze on his face!

Only the elder said in a stern tone: "Forget about the resources of the family, how can you bet on yourself! What a nonsense!"

All the other elders actually nodded in agreement, as if what the Great Elder said was absolutely correct.

Seeing this scene, Master Yun was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. What's going on with these old things in the Gu family? I've never seen them cherish this girl so much before, but now they don't give him any face because of this girl. He doesn't care about the entire Gu family's resources at all!
All crazy!

Gu Jiuli was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled sweetly at the elder: "Don't worry, Grandpa, Li'er is well-mannered."

The elder was instantly blinded by Gu Jiuli's sudden dazzling smile. This was the first time Xiao Jiu smiled at him in so many days!
He also knew that his attitude towards Jiuli was indeed not very good in the past, and he never expected that she would immediately let go of him. Gu Jiuli's smile made the elder feel very flattered!Immediately, there were no objections: "Okay, it's all up to Xiao Jiu to decide."

Looking at the Great Elder who made a 180-degree turn because of Gu Jiuli's words and a smile, the other elders and Gu Qingcang were in a mess. The position of the boss (Grand Elder) was too unsteady!

However, when Gu Jiuli's star-like eyes passed over them quietly, everyone couldn't help trembling, well, to hell with their stances!
