The trip to the Gu Family had yielded nothing.
Su Jinghong stood and prepared to leave.
Then her eyes flickered. Someone hurried into the Main Hall, looking anxious, but stopped when he saw the Gu Family Patriarch entertaining guests.
The Gu Family's butler soon leaned in and whispered something in the patriarch's ear. His expression changed at once, and he cupped his hands apologetically to Su Jinghong and her companions.
"Captain Su, I have something to attend to. I'll have my son keep you company. If you have any more questions about the methods of Gu Masters, ask him. The Gu Family will tell you everything we know."
He beckoned, and a smiling middle-aged man stepped forward. This was his son, Gu Ming.
"Please, Gu Family Head, see to your business. Young Master Gu's company will be more than enough."
The Gu Family Patriarch left in a hurry.
Gu Ming stayed behind to host Su Jinghong and the others.

Su Jinghong clenched her fists. Did she still have to keep asking about Gu Worms?! She'd been wrung dry. There wasn't a drop left!!!
She looked to the rest of the squad for help.
At last...
"Ahem."
Su Ye cleared his throat.
"Well, Young Master Gu, there are still parts we can't fully grasp just from hearing you describe them. Why don't you show us around the Gu Family so we can see how your people use Gu Worms? Or, if you have somewhere you raise them, could you take us to see it?"
Su Jinghong nearly cried with gratitude.
Her nephew really did come through when it mattered.
Exactly. If they walked around, she wouldn't have to keep asking questions.
More importantly, it would give them a look around the Gu Family. They might even discover something.
"Well..."
