"Why do I feel that won't be the case?" An Jiuyue said. "Only those under the Great Elder in the Qingyun Sect have the skills to refine Gu. If Gu Qingyu had been killed, what would Xiang Qiyan need the forces of the Qingyun Sect for?"
To be forced to serve the very enemy who killed one's granddaughter, could there be anything more miserable?
Why did he get the feeling that the Great Elder wouldn't do something so pointless to himself? If he were in that position, he certainly wouldn't.
"The Great Elder surely can't just have one granddaughter, can he?" An Jiuyue added, as she covered the pill-refining furnace and continued refining the antidote.

He had no idea how to retort to that.
But what his master had said was true; compared to a whole family perishing, the death of just one could be considered fortunate, at least it wasn't a total wipeout.
"I think that Gu looks pretty good, Master. Do you want to keep it?" he asked.
"No."
An Jiuyue shook her head.
