Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Chapter 193 Absolute Power Overwhelming

Gu Chen left quickly.

After all, there were still many things waiting for him to deal with at the Gu family's place.

Qingyao drove away from the police cordon and secretly glanced at Gu Chen in the rearview mirror.

The head of the household closed his eyes and rested, expressionless.

A faint smile played at the corners of his calm lips, suggesting he was in a good mood.

Looks like the future wife did a good job of coaxing him!

"Master, how long will Madam be staying at the Wu family?" Qingyao asked softly, inadvertently revealing the name she was referring to.

He was about to correct himself when he noticed a slight change in his family head's expression in the rearview mirror.

Just then, the car emerged from the tunnel, and a ray of sunlight shone through the window.

The earlobes hidden in Gu Chen's hair appeared slightly reddish in the sunlight.

“Ahem,” Gu Chen covered his lips, “Zhao Zhao said she might stay at the Wu family for three to five days. She’ll come back after she’s dealt with the Wu family matters.”

"Keep an eye on the security post, and let me know immediately if anything happens."

"...What's wrong with the patriarch?" Qingyao was a little confused, but still answered honestly.

"Yes, master."

Gu Chen sighed softly.

Zhao Zhao... I hope everything goes smoothly...

The Wu family.

Wu Zhao stood on the villa's terrace, observing the cordon outside the Wu family's residence.

Gu Jiaxi kept his word; the area outside the Wu family's residence was now heavily guarded by the police.

The remains of Xiao Yu on the ground at the entrance have been cleaned up, leaving no trace.

However, Wu Zhao still sensed very subtle fluctuations of Yin energy from the ground.

"Shen Qingqing," she called softly.

The Yin servant appeared out of thin air behind her, saying, "Master."

He raised his hand and grabbed at the air, and a wisp of faint black energy appeared in Wu Zhao's hand.

"Take this and go to the Nie family in Guangdu."

If Nie Wu was indeed behind this, the Nie family should have some clues.

Shen Qingqing carefully absorbed the wisp of black energy into her own yin energy, and then said, "Yes, Master, I'll go right away."

"Be careful, and prioritize your own safety if there's any danger," she added. "If you can't outrun it, just throw this away."

A golden talisman was thrown at Shen Qingqing. "Be careful, there's a bolt of heavenly lightning inside."

"Heavens, heavens...heavenly lightning?!" Shen Qingqing felt that what she was holding was burning hot, and she almost dropped it.

This terrifying big shot casually tossed her a bolt of lightning!

"What are you afraid of? The unactivated heavenly lightning won't do anything to you," Wu Zhao said. "Remember, run away as soon as you throw it out. The heavenly lightning doesn't care who threw it; it will strike anything that is yin energy."

What a terrifying indiscriminate attack!

Shen Qingqing gasped and carefully put away the Heavenly Thunder Talisman.

Then it turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared behind Wu Zhao.

"Knock knock." A knock came from the door, followed by Wu Shiyu's voice: "Ancestor, are you resting?"

"Come in," Wu Zhao said.

Wu Shiyu pushed open the door and walked over after seeing Wu Zhao standing on the terrace.

"Grand Ancestor, my elder brother has woken up, but he is quite weak. Would you like to go and see him?"

"No, now that he's awake, he should be fine. Let him rest for a couple of days. Here's a calming talisman for him."

Wu Zhao placed a talisman in Wu Shiyu's hand and said, "This can help him recover a little faster. Have someone make him some medicinal food to replenish his qi and blood."

“Okay.” Wu Shiyu nodded, then asked somewhat nervously, “Ancestor, are you really…the Ancestor Wu Zhao from back then?”

Seeing the barely suppressed excitement on her face, Wu Zhao couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's me. What, do you want to confirm it again?"

"Of course not!" Wu Shiyu said immediately, then smiled sheepishly, realizing she had been a bit abrupt.

She touched her face and explained softly, "Ever since I became the young master of the Wu family, my uncle has actually started telling me things about you..."

“I have admired you since I was a child. I never thought I would be able to meet you while I am still alive.”

There is very little information about Wu Zhao in the records of the Wu family, probably because the Wu family kept silent about what she did.

Therefore, most of Wu Shiyu's memories of Wu Zhao were passed down orally from previous family heads.

She was the most brilliant and outstanding genius of the Wu family, the youngest national advisor of the Eastern Xuan Kingdom three thousand years ago, possessing unparalleled power and being favored by the Heavenly Dao...

Wu Zhao is the glory of the Wu family.

With layers of halos stacked up, little Wu Shiyu was filled with curiosity and longing for her.

Wu Zhao saw the light in her eyes and felt very complicated.

Perhaps she shouldn't have shattered Wu Shiyu's illusions, but she, Wu Zhao, was not the glory of the Wu family...

On the contrary, she was a sinner of the Wu family.

"Ancestor?" Sensing Wu Zhao's unusual mood, Wu Shiyu was somewhat at a loss. "Was I too offensive?"

Wu Zhao shook his head: "No, I just think you'll be disappointed once you get to know the real me."

"How could that be!" Wu Shiyu opened her mouth to retort.

A commotion downstairs caught Wu Zhao's attention.

"Why is Gu Jiaxi here again! She's so annoying, she's come three times today!" Wu Shiyu said impatiently when she saw the person downstairs.

Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow: "He came again while I was in the ancestral hall?"

"Yes, every time he comes he says something irrelevant. The Wu family is so big, how could they possibly lack food or clothing? He's really funny, he's asked several times if we need anything sent over."

Wu Shiyu rolled her eyes, but unexpectedly met Gu Jiaxi's gaze.

"Captain Gu," Wu Zhao greeted him, a playful smile in her eyes.

This person, perhaps, has ulterior motives beyond what's actually being discussed at the bar?

Gu Jiaxi looked away awkwardly, as if she had been seen through.

"Well, we got word from the garrison headquarters. Someone wants to see Young Master Wu, so I've come to pick you up."

Do I need to see Wu Shiyu?

Wu Zhao looked at Wu Shiyu, who was hiding behind her, with some surprise.

"Why do you want to see Shi Yu? She had nothing to do with Xiao Yu's death, did she?"

Although Gu Jiaxi didn't know why either, he still said, "I'm sorry, I can't disclose that."

"I only see Young Master Wu alone. Please don't make things difficult for me, Miss Wu."

Seeing that Wu Zhao wanted to go with them, Gu Jiaxi said, "Miss Wu, you can rest assured that the garrison will not make things difficult for Young Master Wu."

"Go if you want, what's the big deal?" Wu Shiyu sneered.

She flipped over and jumped directly off the second-floor balcony. Gu Jiaxi was startled and instinctively reached out to catch her.

Unexpectedly, Wu Shiyu turned around in mid-air and landed next to him.

"I want to see just what kind of den of dragons and tigers this garrison is!"

Gu Jiaxi gave her a bitter look and followed Wu Shiyu.

Wu Zhao watched from afar as the two figures got into the car and left.

She twirled the ring on her wrist and said in a nonchalant tone, "Since you're here, don't just sit around."

"Agares".

"Follow them, and if there is any danger, kill everyone except the Wu family!"

An elegant, soft laugh echoed in the void.

"The Second Pillar is pleased to serve you, my esteemed... Shaman."
