Chapter 134: The Feud Between Two Families

Poison makers often don't have many friends. Gu Su's master, apart from looking for herbs and poisonous insects, spends all day making poisons, and then uses himself and his apprentices to test the poisons.

Not to mention Gu Su, even he himself was almost poisoned to death several times, but this did not stop him from doing so.

It can be seen that he is extremely cruel, no matter to his apprentice or himself, as if no life is as important as the great cause of poison refining.

Gu Su cured the Hunyuan monkey. The monkey was very spiritual and attached to him. It followed him wherever he went and would accompany him in whatever he did.

More than a year passed like this. One time, Gu Su tested poison in front of the monkey. The poison was too strong. Gu Su vomited blood and convulsed, which scared the monkey. Fortunately, he was rescued by his master in the end.

From then on, the monkey began to rush to try out the medicine for him, and no one could stop it.

Gu Su felt both distressed and touched. Every time the monkey was poisoned and struggled in pain, he would prepare the antidote for it while crying and trembling.

Later, Gu Su's master was finally poisoned to death by his own poison, and Gu Su seemed to have become a person like his master -

He keeps to himself, is gloomy and silent.

The difference is that he has a monkey by his side, which dispels his loneliness.

Facts have proved that Gu Su's master has an excellent vision and Gu Su is indeed talented in making poisons.

With his master's not-so-attentive teaching and the knowledge he had figured out over the years, Gu Su made rapid progress.

A few years later, by chance, he was introduced to a young lady from a small aristocratic family to help her detoxify and cure diseases. The process was a long one, taking more than a month.

It was during this month that the young lady fell in love with him and was determined to marry him.

He got married inexplicably and was seen as someone who had "climbed onto a high branch" by the world.

With the background of a small family, the already excellent Gu Su became more prominent and his reputation spread far and wide. However, at that time, few people came to him to ask for poison, but many asked him to cure diseases.

Gu Su likes the process of making and detoxifying drugs, so he never refuses anyone and will help anyone who comes to him.

As a result, he gained good popularity and made many connections, which also improved the status of his wife's family and developed them into a middle-class family.

But because of this, his wife's relatives began to hate him and be wary of him, believing that he wanted to seize the family property and the position of head of the family from them. To this end, they did not hesitate to secretly harm him and spread rumors against him.

But who could easily kill a powerful poison master? Not to mention that he had a very clever and sharp Hunyuan monkey to help him.

However, Gu Su's wife Geng Lin, who was a little soft-hearted, listened to a lot of instigation and gradually became alienated from him. The two of them were always quarreling and their feelings were becoming increasingly weak.

Gu Su was fed up with this kind of life and after a few years, he resolutely divorced Geng Lin, left the Geng family and set up his own business.

Life is always difficult at the beginning. Gusu walked the road ahead very steadily, laying a good foundation step by step. So even with a new beginning, it will still be much smoother.

Having started out as a casual cultivator, he had suffered a lot along the way and was well aware of the importance of having a powerful background, so he consciously tried to strengthen the Gu family.

He accepted offerings from many people, and bought or rescued many orphans from outside, and hired masters to raise them from a young age.

He also spent money to hire some guards and followers to make up for his own lack of fighting power.

This is not enough. If you want the "ancient surname" to continue, it is essential to expand and branch out.

So Gu Su took a wife and concubines, making a total of nine people.

The Gu family developed very smoothly, and within a few years, they had a new member.

But the more successful Gu Su's life became, the more painful it became for his first wife Geng Lin, who had divorced him.

She was still stuck in her relationship, but he suddenly had a group of beautiful wives and concubines.

After the divorce, when others mentioned Gu Su to her, their tone was full of meaning, and the mockery and ridicule in their eyes seemed to slap her in the face.

Look, you Geng family didn't want such a young talent, you must be blind!

Now, he has established his own business, and in a few years he will surpass your Geng family. So, do you regret it?

Geng Lin was unwilling to admit his mistakes and only resented Gu Su for not remembering their friendship. His hatred for him grew day by day.

"Wait, could the strange behavior of the Hun Tian Monkey be related to the Geng family?" Meng Ling asked after hearing something.

Gu Qingxiu nodded, "That's right. Later, Geng Lin found a Taoist partner under the arrangement of her father and had a child."

Geng Lin has a new life, but still can't let go of Gu Su. One reason is that she can't forget the old love, and the other is that she is unwilling to give up.

Her second husband was extremely violent and would beat and scold her at any time. Whenever he scolded her, she would mention Gu Su and compare herself to him.

She was unwilling to accept it. Why was Gu Su's life getting better and better, while she was in this situation now? It was obviously she who had taken a fancy to him back then, but he still relied on the power of the Geng family to get to where he is today!

Geng Lin lived a very sad life, and she would confide all her pain to her children. Her children were instilled with hatred from a young age, and they also glared at the Gu family and Gu Su, treating them as enemies.

Whenever they saw the Gu family, they would come out to provoke and insult them with words, acting like benefactors. The Gu family felt very puzzled and naturally would not endure the anger in vain, but would choose to fight back.

This led to the hatred between the Gu family and the Geng family growing deeper and deeper, and it eventually got to the point where both sides were stabbing each other.

The feud was thus begun.

After several years, Gu Su became an even more powerful poison master. After he became rich and powerful, he did not mistreat the Hunyuan Monkey. He would feed it a portion of any good things he had, treating it with more care than even his own children.

Once when out collecting herbs, the Hunyuan Monkey accidentally ate an extremely rare magical herb and was poisoned to the point of almost dying. However, after surviving the poison, he became immune to all poisons and even his lifespan was greatly extended.

Not only that, the Hunyuan Monkey can identify and detoxify poisons. If the Gu family puts a pill recipe that they are unsure of in front of it, it can even give instructions and help them complete it!

That is why it is regarded as a sacred beast by the Gu family. Everyone must be extremely respectful to it and treat it with reverence as an elder, and there are special people to serve and take care of it.

Many years have passed, Geng Lin and Gu Su have both died of old age, but the hatred between the two families continues and has never stopped.

The Gu family's poison-making skills are formidable, but the Geng family has produced several talented descendants. The two sides have reached a strange balance in strength, and neither can destroy the other.

But both sides have done a lot of things to cause trouble, set traps and commit murders behind the scenes.

Everything else is actually fine. Even if we suffer losses, they are all within our tolerance range. They are nothing more than the loss of manpower or crystals.

Until this time...

Hunyuan Monkey, something happened!
