185: Chapter 185 Su Nian is brought into the Gu family, arousing jealousy among the women!

Just as they were preparing to report, they saw Gu Qingshan walk out from inside the Mountain Gate, and those Disciples also stopped in their tracks!

Seeing him walk out, they all turned their heads and respectfully said, "Young Master Qingshan."

The voice was not loud, but it was enough to make the nearby gazes turn over as well.

The scar-faced brute who was dragging Su Nian was also stunned for a moment; he recognized Gu Qingshan.

After all, those portraits had been posted everywhere these past few days, and almost everyone queuing outside the Mountain Gate had seen them!

Gu Qingshan had originally wanted to go out for some fresh air, but he didn't expect to run into this scene!

The two people were there pulling and tugging at each other, which was very unsightly.

"What happened?"

Gu Qingshan said while looking at the woman.

The gatekeeping Disciple explained it simply and clearly, and at the same time, Gu Qingshan also saw that contract.

He understood what had happened.

At this time, the scar-faced brute, fearing trouble, hurriedly said, "Young Master Qingshan, this is my family's business. I will take her away right now and not bother you."

Nowadays, who doesn't know the strength of the Gu Family? Someone as insignificant as him naturally wouldn't dare to provoke them!

The scar-faced brute pulled Su Nian's hand hard again and walked backward, fearing he would offend the Gu Family!

"Let go, let go! You let go of me! I'm not going with you, I don't know you!"

Su Nian shouted while struggling hard, but she was only a Qi Gathering Cultivator and couldn't break free from the Spirit Sea Realm scar-faced brute at all!

"You don't know me? Your brother signed and pressed his thumbprint on the black-and-white contract, and you're pretending not to know me?"

"That's my brother's business, it has nothing to do with me! Don't you think about taking me away!"

"Your brother sold you, so you are my person. What do you mean by 'your brother's business' and 'your business'!"

The two argued endlessly, and while pulling and tugging, they dragged a few more steps back.

The people around had been watching for a while, and finally, someone couldn't help but speak up.

"Isn't that forcing that young lady? If this were any other place, others would have definitely intervened long ago!"

"But her brother did sign it, it's written in black and white on the contract. If we really look at it, this young lady really does belong to that brute!"

"What do you mean 'belong to'? Her brother owes the money, why should she have to pay it back? This young lady looks only in her teens, and that brute looks older than her father!"

"Exactly, he doesn't look like a good person at all! Her brother lost everything and ran away, what did she do to deserve this?"

"This girl is also pitiful; her brother is a gambler, and now that she's run away, she doesn't even know where she can go."

Hearing these discussions, Gu Qingshan took another look at the woman.

The woman's appearance and temperament were quite good, but she seemed somewhat out of place compared to the other women around.

On one side were high-status imperial daughters and Saintess, while this woman was covered in mud.

Moreover, the brute's appearance looked a bit intimidating!

Clearly, he was not a good person.

Gu Qingshan didn't think this woman was anything special.

He just felt she was a pitiful child!

He took out a Storage Pouch and threw it in front of the scar-faced brute, "There are one thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones in here. Take it and leave. Don't cause trouble outside the Gu Family gate again."

The scar-faced brute lowered his head and took a glance. He didn't reach out to pick it up; how could he dare to take Gu Qingshan's money!

If he accepted it, he would probably be dead by the time he got back. Although the Gu Family wouldn't act like that, one couldn't guarantee that some other people wouldn't target her!

After all, the Gu Family's influence surely had many loyal fans!

Whether to choose money or his life, he naturally knew how to distinguish!

He panicked and said, "Young Master Qingshan, I cannot accept this money! If Young Master Qingshan fancies this girl, you can take her as a maid, and we'll pretend this contract never existed!"

After speaking, he immediately tore the contract in his hand into two halves!

The fragments drifted to the ground!

He let go of Su Nian's hand and left without looking back, fearing that if he stayed for even another moment, he would be remembered!

Seeing the back of the scar-faced brute leaving, Su Nian couldn't stop her tears from flowing!

Then, her body swayed violently, and she fainted!

For this scene, the crowd only took a few extra looks and whispered to each other, but no one stepped forward.

In this kind of place, no one would easily meddle in a stranger's business!

It's easy to say anything, but whether they would actually take action is another matter!

Su Nian was just a female Cultivator from a small family, with no background and no backing, and her cultivation was only at the Qi Gathering Realm. If she hadn't run away, she would likely have been dragged back by that brute to be a slave!

Or perhaps...

The Immortal Realm has always been like this; those with humble origins can only carve out a path for themselves!

For the Cultivators present, they only did things that were beneficial to themselves!

Naturally, they would not extend a helping hand.

Gu Qingshan looked down at the woman, was silent for a moment, and then said to the gatekeeping Disciple beside him, "Take her in first and arrange a place for her to rest!"

He had already learned the general situation from the discussions of those people earlier.

He couldn't just let her wake up and be sold again by her brother, right?

Who told him to be so kind!

Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!

The gatekeeping Disciple acknowledged, stepped forward to support Su Nian, and brought her into the Mountain Gate.

The eyes of those women watched that figure being supported inside, and they felt bitter inside!

They had been here for a long time, sitting on cold benches and blowing in the cold wind, yet in the end, they hadn't even submitted their names!

Now, seeing a little girl just go in so easily made them feel very shocked and dissatisfied!

"Did I see that right? Young Master Qingshan personally ordered her to be taken in?"

"I just took a glance at that woman, she hasn't even reached the Spirit Sea Realm, right! Why does she get to go in?"

"Exactly, we have been queuing here for three days, and we haven't even submitted our names! That woman, on the other hand, just arrived and went right in."

"What do you mean 'why'? Young Master Qingshan is kind-hearted and just couldn't bear to see her being dragged away by the brute."

"Kind-hearted is one thing, but she is the first one to be taken in! She didn't even submit a portrait, and she just went right in?"

"Then you can try fainting and see if Young Master Qingshan will take you in."

"I would like to faint, but I'm afraid he wouldn't even take a look!"

The women in the crowd were somewhat jealous, but their bodies were very honest; they were still queuing!

Maybe they would be the next one?

The discussions on the men's side also began to spread!

"Could Young Master Qingshan really have taken a fancy to that girl?"

"No way, right? That girl's cultivation is so low, she's dressed in old clothes, and she's a runaway. Compared to those daughters of aristocratic families, she's far behind, right?"

"Maybe he just felt she was pitiful? But to be honest, the difference in status is indeed quite large. Look at her clothes, and her cultivation is only at the Qi Gathering Realm; she's not even as good as those handymen outside the Mountain Gate."

"That may be true, but who can guarantee anything? What if Young Master Qingshan just likes this type?"

"Who knows, anyway, she's in!"

They couldn't understand this move and didn't know what Gu Qingshan was thinking.
