Chapter 220: The Gu Family's Influence

"Now that I think about it...that girl named Gu Jun may have prepared all of this!" Nan Bei frowned.

Gu Aihan's words stirred a murmur of agreement among the group.

The resentment in their eyes grew as they whispered among themselves, casting judgment on Gu Jin without having met her.

The elderly man in the purple robe, however, remained stoic. He looked at Gu Aihan, his sharp eyes narrowing slightly.

"Miss Gu, you are making assumptions without evidence. We will not pass judgment on someone without understanding the full situation."

Gu Aihan lowered her head slightly,

"I apologize, Professor. I only spoke out of concern for our group's well-being."

Lu Siyao interrupted,

"Your words are full of loopholes! My Jin'er isn't the only one who entered, other than her, 2 more people were sucked in.

This could only mean that the portal malfunctioned due to something else entirely!" Lu Siyao's voice was firm, her frustration evident.
