On the other side.
The Gu residence.
Old Master Gu had long predicted that someone would make a move on Gu Mang. Thus, when the Gu residence received news of the attack on Gu Mang in the middle of the night, the butler did not disturb his rest and only reported the matter to him the next morning when they went for a walk.
Of course, that included the news of half the Leng manor burning down and Huo Zhi, the Head Elder, and members of the Leng family suffering from burns of varying severity.
"The fire was huge. Everyone is talking about the Young Master now," said the butler.
"And yet they thought that the Gu family wouldn't be able to stage a comeback after we fell from grace." A small smile formed on Old Master Gu's face. Be it Gu Mang or Gu Si, they'll be able to help the Gu family return to its former glory.
