Chapter 301 Where Light Goes, Shadow Follows
"Well?"
Seemingly startled, Gu Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
Before him stood Wu Zhao's inquiring eyes.
"Zhao Zhao?"
Gu Chen looked at her with a puzzled expression.
The mark disappeared as Gu Chen woke up, as if what he had seen before was Wu Zhao's illusion.
"You were asleep. I was just about to wake you up."
Wu Zhao lowered her head, and Gu Chen couldn't see her expression clearly.
Gu Chen looked somewhat uneasy and coughed lightly twice.
"I haven't been getting much rest lately, but I'll be fine in a couple of days."
"You just mentioned Gu Moqing, what happened to him?"
Wu Zhao remained silent for a moment.
"His aura is getting stranger and stranger, and it seems to have something to do with you."
Gu Chen's fingers twitched slightly, then he seemed to chuckle.
"He's lived in the Koo family for so many years, it's normal for him to have some connection with me, right?"
Wu Zhao remained noncommittal.
"I'm going back to the capital."
"With such a thing happening to the Wu family, I have to go back."
Wu Xingyun didn't mention the ancestral hall, so it seems that the ancestral hall is still safe.
Wu Shiyu didn't know how things were going. Her whole family was either injured or unconscious. If she didn't go back soon, she was afraid that the Wu family bloodline would be cut off.
"Do you want to go back with me?"
She looked at Gu Chen and asked him, word by word.
"...I still have some things to take care of here, I'll go back as soon as possible."
Gu Chen spoke evasively, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly.
Wu Zhao clenched his hands behind his back and responded softly.
"Okay, then...see you when we get back."
Gu Chen nodded.
"it is good."
The door was gently closed.
Gu Chen tapped his finger, and a gust of wind swept past him from behind.
"Lord..."
Po Jun's voice was suppressed, filled with restraint.
"It seems she's about to find out..."
As Po Jun listened to Gu Chen's somewhat hoarse voice, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"I have said before that Gu Moqing cannot be allowed to live. My lord, why don't you let me deal with him now?"
A silent storm seemed to gather in the air, only to vanish just as quickly.
"Po Jun."
"I am the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao..."
Po Jun raised his head, his bloodshot eyes looking at Gu Chen with disrespect.
"My lord, is she the only one who is special to you?"
"But let's make an exception for ourselves once in a while!"
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment.
The fingers placed at her side curled up uncomfortably for a moment.
"I didn't..."
Po Jun lowered his head, his tone bitter and dejected.
"My lord, the newly born incarnation of the Heavenly Dao... will it still be you?"
……
Dijing.
Wu Zhao returned on the evening of the second day.
As soon as she got off the plane, she was taken back to the Wu family by a car arranged by Gu Chen.
"Ancestor, you've returned."
Wu Shixu, pale-faced, waited at the door, and when he saw her, his eyes lit up with anticipation.
"Please save Shiyu, her condition is very bad..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wu Zhao raised his hand.
“I know, take me there.”
From the moment he entered the Wu family compound, Wu Zhao sensed an extremely dense aura of death.
This deathly aura was also intertwined with the aura of the same bloodline as hers.
A member of the Wu family is about to die.
Wu Xingyun trembled upon hearing Wu Shixu's words.
He even ran a few steps quickly, passing by Wu Zhao.
"elder sister!"
"Are you alright? How are you?"
Seeing him stumble and run while shouting, Wu Shixu's face darkened even more.
"How did you get injured so suddenly? Did you run into someone?"
Wu Zhao asked.
Wu Shixu shook his head, seemingly unsure as well.
"Shiyu accepted the mission to find Gu Jiaxi. She already had some leads, but then Xingyun also went missing."
"It was just a few days ago that we suddenly received news that the Gu family had found Gu Jiaxi and Xingyun. This was good news, so Shiyu wanted to come back and tell us."
At this point, Wu Shixu sighed.
"She hadn't rested for many days, and her spirits weren't very good to begin with... On the way back, she was ambushed. After sending out the distress signal, Liufeng and I happened to go to pick her up, but we unexpectedly ran into the person who ambushed her."
"The opponent was too strong; I didn't even see who it was. If it weren't for Liu Feng... I'd be done for in this old body."
Outside the door, Wu Shixu smiled bitterly, while inside, Wu Xingyun could be heard crying and calling for her sister.
Wu Zhao pushed open the door, and the stench of blood, along with the eerie atmosphere, rushed out.
Wu Shiyu lay unconscious on the bed, her face ashen.
"Grandmother, my sister..."
Wu Xingyun stared longingly at Wu Zhao, her eyes already brimming with tears.
"Alright, don't disturb the ancestor's healing."
Seeing Wu Zhao's stern expression, Wu Shixu quickly pulled Wu Xingyun aside.
Wu Zhao grasped Wu Shiyu's hand, and a faint spiritual energy flowed into her body.
What domineering yin energy!
It was chilling and filled with malice, frantically devouring Wu Shiyu's body.
That's why Wu Shiyu's face was exceptionally pale and he hadn't woken up yet.
Wu Zhao cut his finger and dripped blood onto Wu Shiyu's wrist.
He quickly drew a talisman with his blood.
The crimson color quickly seeped into Wu Shiyu's skin and merged into her meridians.
Wu Zhao checked the spiritual power within Wu Shiyu's body again, then exhaled.
"Wait a bit, it will take some time."
"But she's out of danger now, so let her rest for a while."
Wu Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wu Zhao with gratitude.
Those bright, sparkling eyes made Wu Zhao chuckle.
"Alright, I've been on a plane for so long and then rushed to catch a train, I want to rest."
"Yes, yes, the house is all ready and ready to move in anytime."
Wu Shixu relaxed a bit, then seemed to remember something.
"That, Ancestor, the person kneeling in the ancestral hall..."
Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow.
"He's not being honest?"
Probably not. My elder brother is still in the ancestral hall. That little emperor used to be very afraid of Wu Lan's elder brother.
Wu Shixu gave an awkward smile.
"No, I thought you would want to see that person when you come back."
After all, he was a former emperor, and he's been kneeling in his ancestral hall ever since...
That's a bit strange!
"It's alright. We live in a society governed by the rule of law now. Those old feudal things are just remnants."
Wu Zhao waved his hand dismissively, completely oblivious to the fact that he had also been insulted.
Wu Xingyun wanted to stay with his sister, so after accompanying Wu Zhao to see Wu Liufeng, who was resting in the room, he went back to Wu Shiyu's room.
After being escorted back to his room by Wu Shixu, Wu Zhao's expression immediately changed.
She pressed her chest, her lips moved, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"It can actually injure me through my meridians..."
"That scent is so familiar, it feels like I've encountered it somewhere before..."
Wu Zhao wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and muttered to himself.
The sky was gradually darkening, with a few stars dotting the pitch-black night.
The moon was shrouded in a layer of mist, making it appear somewhat blurry from a distance.
A hint of confusion gradually surfaced in Wu Zhao's eyes.
The moon... and the sun...
There is another person, the opposing one.
Has she forgotten something?
Cold sweat gradually gathered on his forehead and slid down his temples.
Showa and An...?
Wu Zhao's eyes widened suddenly.
Dark...gloomy?
Yes!
Witch, witch!
