After casting a coquettish glance, the woman curved her lips into a smile.
However, her effort was dood to be wasted, as the gatekeeper, watching the woman’s vain attempts, remained unmoved and spoke coldly, "Minister Yue instructed that without her permission, no one is to disturb Miss Gu."
Jin Xiaolan nearly lost her smiling deanor upon hearing this.
Standing nearby, Lv Suhua took a step forward, attempting to slip two small porcelain bottles into the gatekeeper’s hand, "Please make an exception, we promise not to disturb Miss Gu. We’ll just say a few words and leave."
"Take one more step, and we won’t be so courteous." As Lv Suhua attempted to bribe with elixirs, the gatekeeper drew his sword, halting her advance.
Seeing the sword drawn, Lv Suhua forcibly halted her steps, and her hand holding the bottles paused.
Finding no success with the gatekeeper on the left, Lv Suhua shifted her gaze to the other one.
Feeling Lv Suhua’s gaze, the other gatekeeper silently made a gesture of drawing a sword.
Seeing this, Lv Suhua retreated two steps and put away the bottles in her hand.
In her heart, a grievance towards Gu Xiyue rose.
Why are they being kept outside and not allowed to see Miss Gu?
Ruan Hao, Lu Yuanjiang, and Li Chunhua all advanced because of Miss Gu, and she also wanted to advance, not just her, Jin Xiaolan and Ma Tao wanted to as well.
Before, upon learning that Ruan Hao and the others had advanced, Lv Suhua and the others had co to find Gu Zhiqi.
But they were too late; by the ti they arrived, Gu Zhiqi had already left the dical Alliance.
Originally, they felt quite regretful and remorseful, and this had been lingering in their minds.
They didn’t know the identity of that Miss Gu, nor her background, not even her full na, eager to find soone but lacking the ans.
They thought they might never see that Miss Gu in their lifeti, who knew she’d return to the dical Alliance.
Upon learning Miss Gu ca again, the three of them imdiately arranged to co, but they were kept outside.
Gu Xiyue wouldn’t let them see Miss Gu, and the gatekeepers were just as inflexible.
Neither Jin Xiaolan nor Lv Suhua could persuade the gatekeepers, so Ma Tao, who had remained silent, stepped forward and asked the gatekeeper a question, "What needs to be done for Minister Yue to allow us to see Miss Gu?"
The gatekeeper remained expressionless, "Don’t know."
Upon hearing this, Ma Tao’s face turned extrely unpleasant, his eyes darkly fixed on the gatekeeper.
"Since Minister Yue doesn’t let us see Miss Gu, why don’t you go tell Minister Yue that we need to see her," Ma Tao spoke again.
His tone was forceful, as if simply by speaking, Gu Xiyue had to et them.
The gatekeeper maintained his cold deanor, "Minister Yue is busy and has no ti to see you."
Upon hearing this, Ma Tao’s fingers clenched into a fist by his side, his gaze growing ever darker and colder.
"I think Yue Xi is doing this on purpose." Unable to hold back, Lv Suhua quietly complained, "She’s afraid that we’ll advance after eting Miss Gu and threaten her position as Minister."
Everyone who followed Gu Zhiqi in alchemy advanced one by one, and Lv Suhua was confident that as long as Miss Gu taught her, they could also advance.
But now, with Gu Xiyue not letting them et Miss Gu, it was clear she didn’t want them to advance.
Gu Xiyue was definitely afraid that if Miss Gu taught them alchemy, they’d catch up to her cultivation level and threaten her position as Minister, which is why she’s not allowing them to see Miss Gu.
