Chapter 190 She Shouldn't Exist
Gu Jiaxi watched as Gu Chen and Wu Zhao walked hand in hand into the Wu family home.
"What... what's going on between them?" Gu Jiaxi was somewhat incoherent as he looked at Qingyao, trying to get confirmation.
Qingyao shrugged: "It's just like what you see, sir, that is, your uncle, he's fallen in love!"
"..." Gu Jiaxi was somewhat taken aback.
How come he didn't notice that the people around his uncle were starting to become so eccentric?
The guards were still dealing with the bones on the ground.
Watching them carefully place the pile of unrecognizable bones into the box.
Qingyao frowned: "Whose remains are these?"
"He is Mr. Wu Liufeng's assistant and driver, and his name should be... Xiao Yu."
Gu Jiaxi gasped as she spoke, "This is the first time I've ever seen someone suddenly turn into a pile of bones in public."
"Anyway, it has nothing to do with Miss, but your garrison is making such a big fuss about it...aren't you afraid of being blamed by your superiors?" Qingyao asked.
"Our word doesn't count; this is what we were told," Gu Jiaxi answered honestly. "If I could, I wouldn't want to offend the Wu family."
A pair of familiar eyes flashed before his eyes, but only for a fleeting moment.
Something flashed quickly in Qingyao's eyes.
He subtly took out his phone and sent a message, then said, "When we came up, the security guard said that the Wu family is now only allowing entry, not exit? You're not trying to stop the master from entering the Wu family as well, are you?"
"How could that be?" Gu Jiaxi replied helplessly. "I never expected my uncle to come. My orders were to stop all members of the Wu family."
With a chuckle, Qingyao said, "If you marry Miss, then he will be considered a member of the Wu family."
"Miss Wu is also a member of the Wu family?" Gu Jiaxi asked, somewhat surprised.
He thought it was just a coincidence that Wu Zhao was only surnamed Wu. When did the Wu family produce such a brilliant and outstanding person?
Qingyao smiled but remained silent.
Inside the Wu family.
Gu Chen glanced at the messages on his phone, then said to Wu Zhao, "Zhao Zhao, what about that pile of bones outside the door...?"
“It’s alright, it has nothing to do with the Wu family. I guess it was Nie Wu who did it, but I don’t know her motives yet.” Wu Zhao pulled him directly toward the Wu family ancestral hall.
Nie Wu definitely wanted to resurrect her husband; it's unclear what bargaining chips she used in her cooperation with the Witch Saint Cult.
After the Witch Saint Sect spared no effort to rescue her, Wu Zhao had not seen Nie Wu since.
She suddenly appeared at this moment, bringing with her that strange rumor...
The witch family wants to use evil witchcraft to resurrect the divine witch?
However, the sorcerer himself had already been resurrected, and even Wu Xingyun, who was not the heir of the sorcerer family, was unaware of this ancient prophecy of the sorcerer family.
How did Nie Wu find out?
Did she use Xiao Yu to get the police to seal off the Wu family? Was she testing whether the Wu family could actually resurrect the sorcerer?
"Zhaozhao, what's wrong?" Gu Chen asked, seeing that she remained silent. "Should I have someone check where Nie Wu is now?"
Wu Zhao shook his head: "Don't worry about her for now. The answer I need is in the ancestral hall."
That prophecy, and the things left in the ancestral hall.
Gu Chen's eyes darkened, and he quietly followed Wu Zhao into the ancestral hall.
When Wu Shixu saw Gu Chen walk in, his expression changed slightly.
"Ancestor, most of the Wu family's descendants are not here. Should we summon the clan elders? What are you planning to do...?"
It's somewhat against custom for an outsider to appear in the ancestral hall. If the elders saw it, they might have some complaints.
"No need, I need Gu Chen's help." Wu Zhao didn't want to deal with those old fogies right now; he knew without a doubt what the elders would say.
She patted Gu Chen's arm. "You can let go of me now, but don't go too far away."
“Okay,” Gu Chen said, watching her walk into the ancestral hall.
The open door slammed shut the moment she stepped inside.
Wu Xingyun felt a solemn and intimidating aura and began to tremble. He shrank behind Gu Chen.
For some reason, I felt safer around him than around my own uncle.
Wu Shixu sat on the chair he had moved over, pressing his forehead weakly.
Inside the ancestral hall.
In the dim light, Wu Zhao saw rows of black memorial tablets.
A familiar scent quickly enveloped her.
A distant sigh seemed to echo in my ears.
"Zhao Zhao..."
"You're back……"
The spiritual energy flowing through his body spun rapidly, and Wu Zhao pressed down on the ring on his hand.
The candles lit in the ancestral hall suddenly became bright and lively.
Bathed in the warm glow of the fire, Wu Zhao murmured, "...I'm back."
“I am a shaman of the Wu clan, who follows the way of Heaven, and whose destiny is clear.”
"now!"
The memorial tablet emitted a dazzling golden light, gradually enveloping the entire ancestral hall.
Wu Zhao closed his eyes.
After the light faded, she slowly opened her eyes—
Before me was a familiar face.
"Zhaozhao, it's been a long time."
Her gentle voice held a hint of laughter, but her usually smiling eyes were now misty with tears.
...It was someone she knew.
"Brother..."
It's Wu Lan.
The real Wu Lan.
Wearing an elaborate priest's robe, Wu Lan opened her arms and pounced.
"My Zhaozhao!"
The tears in Wu Zhao's eyes disappeared, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
She reached out and stopped Wu Lan from hugging her, saying calmly, "Even if you cry, don't try to distract me."
Wu Lan's smile froze, and she stood there somewhat at a loss.
"That...I..."
With a cold laugh, Wu Zhao's eyes burned: "Explain yourself, my dear brother Wu Lan."
"Why did I suddenly wake up after sleeping for three thousand years? And why is there someone in the world who looks exactly like Junwu?"
Then, thinking of Gu Chen, Wu Zhao continued, "And that Chosen One whom I can't see through, after I sealed the Yellow Springs Yin Gate, what kind of deal did you make with that damned dog of Heavenly Dao?!"
As she listened to her questioning, Wu Lan's expression gradually turned bitter.
He sighed, then hesitated, "Zhaozhao, are you still angry that Lord Junwu made you seal the Yellow Springs Yin Gate and then locked you up inside?"
Shouldn't I hate it?
Wu Zhao's voice became indifferent, and his expression turned cold.
Wu Lan sighed, "Zhao Zhao, aren't you curious...?"
"Back then, you had clearly broken the pillar of heaven, incurring divine punishment, yet you were not annihilated..."
Don't you want to know the reason?
With a deafening roar, a chaotic scene suddenly appeared before Wu Zhao's eyes.
—Witch Wu Zhao, you defied the heavens, causing the pillar of heaven to collapse and the world to fall into chaos.
—Heaven has punished you; divine retribution has struck, and your soul has been scattered by heavenly lightning!
She, Wu Zhao…
They should have died long ago...?
