Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 25: Apology! (Please read on!)

When Gu Yuan pushed the door and entered the room, he saw three more people inside.

The leader was a wealthy old man in a brocade robe. He was not tall, but had a round face with a rosy glow and squinting eyes, which naturally gave him a festive look.

This person's demeanor and calm demeanor are not something that ordinary mountain people can possess.

Behind him were two servants, both of whom were tall and strong, with sharp eyes, and were quite intimidating.

At this time, Gu's father and mother were smiling and saying something.

The moment Gu Yuan pushed open the door, the wealthy old man seemed to sense something, turned his eyes, and looked over at him immediately.

Seeing Gu Yuan, he glanced at the iron plate hanging around Gu Yuan's waist, which represented the identity of a herbalist in Yuding Tower. He narrowed his eyes slightly at first, then stood up and smiled.

"My surname is Wu, and I am the steward of the Qian Mansion. This person should be Mr. Gu Yuan, right?"

An old fox. When he saw the old man for the first time, Gu Yuan immediately had an idea in his mind, but on the surface he smiled: "Butler Wu, you are too polite. I am Gu Yuan, but I don't dare to take the title of Mr., so you can just call me Gu Yuan."

A little fox. But when he saw Gu Yuan smiling, Butler Wu frowned secretly.

Gu Yuan was almost bitten to death by several vicious dogs in the Qian Mansion. Later, he came to the Gu family himself and suppressed the matter half by intimidation and half by force.

Therefore, Gu Yuan had a deep hatred for him and even for the Qian family behind him.

Both sides know this.

If Gu Yuan had attacked him immediately when he saw him for the first time, or had shown resentment and dissatisfaction, he would not have thought it was a big deal, because it was a normal reaction.

However.
After seeing him, Gu Yuan not only did not show any hostility, but was polite and even smiled at him, which surprised him greatly!

There are only two possibilities for Gu Yuan to behave like this.

First, this boy is broad-minded and does not hold grudges. He really does not have the slightest hostility towards him and the Qian family.

Secondly, this boy is good at forbearance, his mind is as deep as the sea, and his heart is as dangerous as mountains and rivers, so he hides the hostility in his heart.

In his opinion, the first possibility is very small.

So, there is only the second possibility!
It’s not that Gu Yuan has no hostility, but his hostility is very deep. He just hides his hostility because of the power of the Qian family.

However, the most important thing is that Gu Yuan is only seventeen years old!
He is so cunning at such a young age. This boy is no ordinary person!

Thinking of this, Butler Wu laughed heartily: "Well, then I'll call you Brother Gu."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and the two servants behind him immediately stepped forward.

One of them was holding an exquisitely designed long sword with a sheath, which was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye. The other was holding a wooden box, which, when opened, contained silver ingots, which weighed no less than fifty taels.

“This is a lot of money.”

Seeing this, Gu's parents were stunned. They stared at the glittering silver in the wooden box, speechless for a long time. The old couple had lived in Gujia Village for most of their lives, accustomed to hardship. They rarely encountered copper coins worth more than a hundred coins, let alone thirty taels of silver. Naturally, they were quite surprised to see so much money.

Seeing this, Butler Wu's smile deepened a little, and he said:

"I heard that Brother Gu has been practicing swordsmanship recently and is in need of a sword. This sword is made of fine iron forged hundreds of times and is a collection of the Qian family. Although it can't cut iron like mud, it's not far off. It is an extremely rare weapon. I will give it to you, brother. It can be regarded as a precious sword for a hero."

"As for these fifty taels of silver, it is compensation for my brother."

Butler Wu explained sincerely:
"As the saying goes, it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. My young master failed to restrain those hounds in time, causing you to be bitten. This is our fault, and my young master feels deeply guilty about it. He has already dealt with those vicious dogs and even sent me here today to apologize."

Finally, he cupped his hands and said, "So, I hope you can accept this sword and this silver."

If it were any other common people, facing such a generous compensation from the Qian family and an apology, they would probably feel flattered and excited to the point of being unable to control themselves. Even if they had suffered great injustice and hatred, they would have to endure it, otherwise they would be ignorant of the current situation.

However, Gu Yuan couldn't help sneering in his heart.

Feeling guilty? Apologizing?
Why did you go early?
It was because they learned that he had become a herbalist in Yuding Tower and started practicing martial arts, and his identity was different from before, so they started to pay attention to him!

But what if he is still the same Gu Yuan?

I guess even if I die, I won't even look at him?!
However, this approach of changing with the situation and treating people differently is consistent with Gu Yuan's impression of these wealthy families.

Moreover, he sent someone to Dong Gui's house yesterday, and today he already knew that Gu Yuan was practicing swordsmanship, and he even specially gave Gu Yuan a sword. What does this mean?
This means that as soon as the Qian family noticed something unusual yesterday, they mobilized their connections and thoroughly investigated Gu Yuan's background and his actions in Yuding Tower.

Giving Gu Yuan a sword was both an apology and a display of his muscular fist to him. It contained an implicit threat, warning Gu Yuan to be sensible. Otherwise, even if Gu Yuan became a herbalist or a martial artist, the power of the Qian family could easily crush him to death!

Moreover, if Gu Yuan chooses to accept these benefits, then the matter will be over, and both parties will not mention it again in the future, nor can they use it as a reason to cause trouble, otherwise it will be against the rules.

If Gu Yuan refuses to accept it, it means that the two sides will fall out and a fight to the death will follow.

The Gu family's courtyard wall was built with mountain stones and was not very high, so people outside could see what was going on inside.

Seeing this scene, the villagers outside inevitably caused a commotion.

"Thank you, Butler Wu. Actually, I didn't take this matter to heart at all. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it long ago."

Some thoughts flashed through his mind, and Gu Yuan smiled shyly on the surface:
"But since you've come here in person to apologize, it would be disrespectful of you if I didn't accept them, so I won't hesitate to give them to you."

Butler Wu's mouth twitched, and he could hardly maintain the expression on his face.

You are clearly resentful in your heart, but you keep saying that you don't take it to heart at all. I believed your lies. Anyone who believes such nonsense is a fool.

He became more and more certain that this kid was indeed extraordinary because he had such a shameless face and could lie with his eyes open.

At least, he's very thick-skinned!
After finishing the work, Butler Wu stood up, said a few words to Gu Yuan with a smile, then said goodbye and left with two of his men.
