"I… No, I don't know him. I only heard about his name from someone else, that's all." Gu Xiulan denied knowing about Yuan after snapping out of her daze.
"Anyways, here's your Flood Dragon's scale. Please enjoy. I have another business to attend to, so if you'll excuse me. Ah, if you have any questions, you can always come back here to find me."
After taking one last look at the Flood Dragon's scale, Gu Xiulan handed it to Senior Nie.
"Thank you." Senior Nie accepted the treasure with trembling hands, feeling like a child on his birthday.
Once Senior Nie left the place, Gu Xiulan took a seat on the couch and began pondering profusely.
"A beautiful woman who likes to wear revealing red clothes… A little girl with a profound aura… The mastermind, Yuan… And last but not least, they were in the Lower Heavens not long ago… There is too much evidence for it to be just a coincidence."
"But I don't get it. Why would she rob the Gu Family? Clearly, they have a lot of money, so they didn't steal because they needed the money. Perhaps they have a grudge with the Gu Family? Did those idiots offend them somehow?"
Gu Xiulan had no doubt that the Gu Family in the Lower Heavens were capable of offending someone like Feng Yuxiang and her group.
"What should I do now that I have this information? Should I just tell the patriarch? He might forgive them if I tell him about the Flood Dragon's scale, but I also don't have any evidence."
"However, if I tell him and he still wants to hunt them, that would also be problematic. The fact that they were just in the Lower Heaven alongside the Flood Dragon's scale, there's a good chance that they are actually from the upper heavens. As for why they decided to come down… heaven knows. "
Gu Xiulan proceeded to spend the rest of the day pondering.
"Are you sure you want to give this to me— to Lulu? It's worth at least 15 million spirit stones…" Yuan hesitated to accept the treasure due to its immense value.
"Of course. I have no use for it, anyway." Feng Yuxiang nodded.
