Whispers among the crowd started to arise:
"Didn't Gu Qingluan mention earlier that the Gu family emptied their coffers to buy the Universe Stabilizer? Could it be true?"
"It's possible. Otherwise, Gu Jinyue wouldn't have acted so shamelessly. If the money is already spent, there's no reason to ask for it back."
"Does she really think having a Revered One to back her up gives her the right to act lawlessly?"
"That's right! There are many Revered Ones in this world, not just in the Gu family. But we haven't seen anyone else as arrogant as her!"
"She's just using borrowed power. I bet if the Gu family found out about her actions, they would scold her mercilessly."
"Exactly! The Gu family's reputation has been tarnished by her. If she doesn't buy it, she shouldn't snatch it away and scare off potential customers. She's so shameless!"
Gu Jinyue despised the old shopkeeper.
