Chapter 280 An Uninvited Guest is Coming
The morning light is dim.
The Gu family villa was bustling with activity early on.
It's the weekend, and Xiao Xuan, who had a very enjoyable day at kindergarten yesterday, got up very early.
He went to bed early last night and was still quite excited when he woke up this morning.
Right now, it's sitting obediently in the chair, waiting for Lan Yao to feed it breakfast.
Wu Xingyun was very worried about Wu Zhao last night, so he didn't sleep well and got up very early.
Yesterday, Wu Shiyu visited Wu Zhao and then received a phone call, leaving overnight. Wu Zhao overheard the other end of the phone talking about Gu Jiaxi.
However, she was a little tired last night, so when she saw Wu Xingyun this morning, she asked him a question.
"It seems that my sister is looking for Gu Jiaxi together with the garrison command, but the mission he was assigned is a bit troublesome... It's top-secret, and my sister can't find out about it for the time being."
"But from what my sister said, Gu Jiaxi is not in any immediate danger. The Gu family and the Gu family are also looking for him. Mr. Gu told you not to think too much about it."
Wu Xingyun emphasized, looking at Wu Zhao with a hint of disapproval.
She had already washed up and was sitting on the sofa. Wu Xingyun was a little surprised to see that she wasn't lying in bed when he came in.
"I feel much better after a nap. If I lie down any longer, my bones will feel stiff."
She was enveloped in purple energy all night, and now she doesn't feel so weak anymore.
The backlash caused her damaged meridians to ache terribly, but at that moment, a faint flow of spiritual energy passed through them.
It repairs the damage to the meridians caused by the backlash.
Wu Xingyun picked up a blanket from the bedside and covered her knees, but accidentally threw Nar, who was wrapped in the blanket, out of the way.
"Oh my, what kind of little animal is this?"
Curiously observing the bewildered Nar who had rolled over, Wu Xingyun reached out and poked him.
It looks a bit like a kitten, but its tail is a pointed bat tail.
Nar opened his eyes in a daze and saw Wu Xingyun pulling his own tail.
"Insolent human! How dare you!"
Wu Xingyun was startled by the shout.
He couldn't help but take a step back, looking at Nar with some surprise.
"Ancestor, this is..."
Wu Zhao found it somewhat amusing.
"Haven't you met before?"
Wu Xingyun also felt that the voice sounded very familiar.
Just as he was reminiscing, Nar suddenly transformed into human form.
A pair of eyes stared at Wu Xingyun.
Wu Xingyun's eyes widened as he watched Nar transform into a living person.
The sight of the two staring at each other with their eyes wide open was quite amusing, and Wu Zhao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Ah, so you can turn into a small animal like the little red bird?"
"This is amazing..."
Wu Xingyun made no attempt to hide his surprise, and even looked Nar up and down with a strong sense of curiosity.
His gaze was devoid of any other emotion; it was simply a mixture of curiosity and a feeling of unease at seeing him for the first time.
This was the first time Nar had ever met someone like this, and he felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze.
Then it shrank behind Wu Zhao and stuck its tongue out at Wu Xingyun.
"By the way, Ancestor, Huo Weiwei has gone back to school. It seems she received a notice from the school asking all the students to return."
He saw Qingyao taking Huo Weiwei back to school in the morning; she got back quite early.
"It's probably related to the deaths of those students."
Wu Zhao turned the ring on her hand, and her pale lips twitched slightly.
"After the disappearance of the Witch Tomb, did the Security Bureau cooperate with any other sorcerers?"
Upon hearing her question, Wu Xingyun touched his nose.
"I haven't heard of anyone... but it seems someone from the military took over. I'm not sure, my sister didn't go into details."
Although Wu Shiyu also received news from the garrison command, inviting her to resolve the death incident at the school.
However, she was preparing to search for Gu Jiaxi at the time, so she refused the mission from the garrison.
Wu Liufeng needed to stay at the Wu family home to watch over the young emperor who was atoning for his sins, so the Wu family did not participate in Huo Weiwei's school this time.
"My sister also said that my uncle thinks there's something strange about what happened at Imperial University this time... It's best if the Wu family doesn't get involved."
"It just so happens that my sister took advantage of Gu Jiaxi's disappearance to avoid the police station."
Wu Zhao nodded.
Wu Shixu handled this matter well; the Wu family should indeed not get too involved in this matter.
The evil spirit is now in the Feng family, and she is still in the recovery period.
Thinking of the roar he heard that day, Wu Zhao rubbed his forehead.
The fake Feng Bo Xue does things carelessly, while the real Feng Bo Xue is practically dying of anger down there.
"Oh, right, Ancestor, it's the weekend today... I'm planning to take Xiao Xuan out for a walk. The child seems to be running out of clothes, so I'll go buy some."
“Ziyao will be coming with us, so it’s just you and Mr. Gu at home today. Before we get back, Grandfather, please stay home and rest.”
Wu Zhao: ?
How did she suddenly get assigned to this? It's like she's being forced to rest just because she coughed up blood.
I should have held it in yesterday...
Wu Xingyun had no idea what she was thinking. After explaining where they were going that day, she didn't disturb Wu Zhao's rest.
Before long, Wu Zhao heard the sounds of cars starting and leaving outside, and the once lively courtyard suddenly fell silent.
Nar transformed back into his beast form, curling up drowsily in Wu Zhao's arms.
"My lord, when will you recover...?"
After her power was damaged, the summoned demon god also weakened.
However, only the demons ranked lower in rank were affected; Thanatos and the others were unaffected.
Agares was sent back to the witch's house by her, and Barbatos retreated back into the ring to sleep.
The only two remaining were Phoenix and Nar. One turned into a small bird and slept soundly in the nest, while the other was also squeezed into Wu Zhao's bed and couldn't wake up.
"Hmm, it's hard to say. It'll probably take a few more days. You should just sleep in for the next few days."
Touching his furry back, Wu Zhao yawned.
"Zhaozhao, the weather is quite nice today. How about we go sit in the garden?"
"Lan Yao baked some cookies this morning. How about we sit in the garden after breakfast and have some cookies?"
Gu Chen knocked on the door, and the slightly ajar door trembled.
"Okay."
Wu Zhao did not refuse.
Blue Obsidian Baked Cookies are a favorite snack of Wu Zhao's.
Nar had fallen asleep again, and Wu Zhao carefully put him back on the bed.
The weather is gradually warming up, and the flowers in the garden are blooming beautifully.
When Wu Zhao walked into the garden, he saw Gu Chen brewing tea.
He remained calm and his movements were methodical.
It looks very pleasing to the eye.
Wu Zhao slowly walked over and sat down, taking a breath.
"Mmm, this tea smells wonderful. This is the first time I've ever seen you brew tea; you know so much about it."
A cup of tea with a rich aroma was pushed in front of her.
"Try it?"
As Gu Chen spoke, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.
Just as she was about to reach for it, she heard a faint sound of footsteps.
"I thought I could spend some time alone with you... but this time was too short."
Wu Zhao muttered to herself, unaware of the gentle smile in Gu Chen's eyes across from her.
"what happened?"
Gu Chen readily asked questions.
"Well……"
"There's a nuisance here, about to ambush us."
"I just don't know... how did she get onto this island?"
Indeed, we shall see. Wu Zhao smiled.
