Did They Misunderstand Gu Ling

The old man held the small, crudely packaged bottle of medicine with a look of excitement.

He gripped it tightly, as if afraid of crushing it.

Every word he spoke was like a thunderbolt, striking Qin Yu's heart.

Qin Yu widened his eyes in disbelief and shouted, "What?!

"How is this possible..."

Did he misunderstand Gu Ling?

The person everyone called useless?!

"Can I keep this bottle? I'll study it carefully..." The old man's eyes showed a hint of greed as he spoke.

"No!" Qin Yu immediately snatched the medicine back.

He had come here secretly.

If Third Master found out he had done this behind his back, he'd probably be sent to Africa to mine coal!

Now that even Zhong Lao had confirmed it, he could safely give the medicine to Third Master.

"Hey, are you leaving already?!" The old man hurried after him.

"Wait! Can you tell me who made this medicine?!"

"If you get the chance, could you introduce them to us? That would be amazing!"

The divine doctor who could make this kind of medicine had to be one of the terrifying figures in the international medical world!

If he could connect with them...

His future would be limitless!

Unexpectedly, Qin Yu refused without hesitation.

Watching Qin Yu's departing figure, the old man let out a long sigh as he thought about the medicine's rarity.

"I never thought such a powerful pharmacist existed in the Hua Kingdom..."

"Ah, what a pity! I wonder who they are! That brat really keeps his mouth shut tight! Next time we catch him, we must ask!"

Lost in thought, the landline suddenly rang.

Zhong Lao picked it up and asked, "Who is it?"

A flattering girl's voice answered from the other end:

"Teacher, it's me..."

At the same time the divine doctor, Zhong Lao was thinking about—which is Gu Ling—had just finished delivering the medicine and was returning to the Gu family's gate.

As soon as she stepped inside, she heard the cheers of the Gu family.

"I never thought the teacher would actually agree to come! I must prepare well for this!"

Gu Yun's sharp voice almost pierced through the roof.

"That master will definitely come. He sees you as his proud disciple. Of course, he agreed!"

Li Yanmei's tone was full of laughter and pride. "Our Xiaoxun is amazing. He really brings glory to the Gu family!"

The voices of the three intertwined, filling the house with excitement.

Until Gu Ling entered.

"Ah, sister's back!" Gu Yun immediately called out to Gu Ling, "Remember to prepare for the celebration on the 15th! The mentor from the Elite Academy agreed to come..."

"I'll do my best to introduce you to him. Who knows? Maybe he'll take a liking to you, and you'll have a chance to enter the Elite Academy with me!"

Her words sounded kind, but there was clear malice behind them.

Gu Yun couldn't wait to see Gu Ling make a fool of herself.

Li Yanmei impatiently added, "A useless person is still useless! No matter how many chances she gets, the master of the Elite Academy won't be impressed!"

"Don't embarrass the mentor with someone who has nothing to do with him!"

Her words were full of contempt for Gu Ling.

Gu Ling's eyes turned cold.

"No, the mentor is kind and patient with me... I believe he'll be willing to take a look at sister..." Gu Yun spoke quickly, afraid that Gu Ling would go upstairs.

"Xiao Yun, do you think everyone in the world is born a genius like you?" Gu's father joined in, looking between Gu Yun and Gu Ling.

"Look at your sister. She's so good to you and willing to help you. You should be grateful, not bullying her like before!"

"Come here and thank your sister," he said.

Both were his daughters, yet the difference in treatment was glaring.

One was his beloved princess, a genius he treasured.

The other was worthless. Trash.

Gu Ling gave a cold smile.

"Keep that opportunity for yourself! I said I'd enter the Elite Academy on my own. If you don't believe me, wait and see! Now shut your dog mouths and get out of my way!"

With that, Gu Ling turned and went straight upstairs, ignoring her father and siblings.

In her bedroom, Gu Ling opened the closet to look through the original owner's clothes.

When she pulled the doors open, she found it nearly empty.

Only a few old, worn-out clothes remained.

The original owner was the granddaughter of the famous Gu family's martial arts hall, a well-known figure in Haiyun City.

Yet, she lived worse than an ordinary girl.

Gu Ling sneered.

Yesterday, while checking the Elite Academy, she also looked into the original owner's account.

There was a considerable sum of money left by her grandfather.

But the original owner never used it.

She foolishly saved it, hoping one day it could help Lu Ming.

Such naïve thinking was pathetic in Gu Ling's eyes.
