Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Chapter 304 Initial and Final Favoritism

Wu Zhao slowly turned the ring on his hand, and a faint red light flashed across the ring.

A hint of coldness appeared in her eyes.

"It really is in the same place as it started..."

Haicheng, Shen family.

“Shen Jiaojiao, no matter who’s behind you… this is the last time.”

Wu Zhao coldly lowered his hand and raised his head.

Her phone, which was in her pocket, suddenly vibrated. She took it out and glanced at it.

It was a message from Wu Xingyun.

"Gu Moqing went to see Gu Chen?"

She always had a strange feeling about Gu Moqing; there was an inexplicable sense of incongruity about him.

It's as if the soul inside the body doesn't match the person, yet the key is hard to perceive.

Could it be her imagination?

While thinking, Wu Zhao sent a message to Wu Xingyun, asking him to keep an eye on Gu Chen.

Tell her immediately if anything happens.

Phoenix stayed with the Koo family, so... it should be fine, right?

As Wu Zhao left the garrison, he pondered these thoughts.

A few muffled claps of thunder echoed faintly in the sky, and an ominous atmosphere permeated the air.

Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Wu Zhao found a secluded place.

"Danasus".

A dark shadow appeared behind her, bowing slightly.

"My lord."

Wu Zhao glanced at the sky again before looking away.

"Go to Haicheng, but don't alert anyone."

The shadow gradually spread and covered Wu Zhao's figure, then disappeared from the spot in an instant.

A gentle breeze blew by, and faint footsteps echoed into the deserted alley.

"Did you still go?"

A tall, slender figure stood still in the alley, his expression unusually cold. A small, dark green snake raised its head from his shoulder, its forked tongue flicking as if sensing something.

"It's almost over."

Ye Linyan raised his hand and touched the cold snake's body, his thin lips slightly pursed.

"I hope you get what you want,"

“Junwu”.

Rumble!

Dark clouds gradually gathered, as if a treacherous storm was about to sweep in.

……

Haicheng.

After the Shen family moved out of the villa area, the villa was left vacant.

Since no money was spent on purchasing it, no maintenance was carried out.

The rampant weeds and vines almost completely covered the villa.

Wu Zhao stood outside the iron gate, and could still faintly hear some kind of hoarse lament.

—Brother, I'm clearly your sister, why can't you believe me?

—Believe you? How can a country bumpkin like you compare to my pampered sister?

—You should be grateful that they brought you back from the countryside. Don't covet what doesn't belong to you! Those are all spoiled brats; you don't deserve them!

……

"What are you trying to say by making me hear these things in particular?"

"Prove your status in the Shen family?"

Wu Zhao pressed his temple, a hint of mockery in his expression.

whee.

A playful laugh drifted through the air, tinged with mischief and amusement.

"Doesn't this look familiar?"

"Don't you remember these words at all, my dear... Wu Zhao?"

The capital city. The Gu family's villa.

Wu Xingyun glanced at Gu Moqing sitting on the sofa and then at Gu Chen standing at the bottom of the stairs. He swallowed hard and slowly made his way to the kitchen doorway.

Lan Yao, who was in the kitchen, pulled him in.

"What's going on? The atmosphere feels weird..."

Perhaps due to his exceptional sixth sense, Wu Xingyun always felt uneasy whenever he saw Gu Moqing and Gu Chen in the same place.

"Don't worry about it, don't go and disturb the gentleman."

Lan Yao's expression was unusually serious, and she glanced outside as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

In the end, he shut his mouth.

Wu Xingyun had no choice but to obediently take out his phone and send a message to Wu Zhao, then huddled by the wall pretending he didn't exist.

In reality, he was straining his ears, trying hard to hear what was being said outside.

Gu Moqing came by himself; Xiao Wu, who had been guarding him like a mother hen, was not there.

He stroked the white cane in his hand, his dim eyes seeming to want to "see" something.

Gu Chen's gaze lingered on those eyes for a moment.

He then sat down opposite Gu Moqing.

Upon noticing someone approaching, Gu Moqing instinctively tightened her grip on her white cane.

He seemed a little nervous, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his exceptionally handsome face.

"You came all this way specifically for something?"

Gu Chen asked calmly, his voice indifferent.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Moqing asked in a very low voice, "Are you alright?"

"The weather isn't very good today, and I feel a bit strange... so I came to see you."

Gu Moqing spoke vaguely, his pale fingers gripping and releasing his white cane.

Noticing his unease, Gu Chen looked away.

He remained silent for a while before letting out a soft sigh.

Upon hearing this sigh, Gu Moqing blinked nervously.

"I'm fine, don't worry, you'll be fine too."

"Since you're here, stay for a few days before going back. The weather will be a bit strange these next couple of days, but don't worry, it'll clear up soon."

Gu Moqing nodded.

"Okay, okay. You... are alright."

The conversation between the two left Wu Xingyun, who was eavesdropping, completely baffled.

He looked at Lan Yao blankly, but caught a glimpse of water in her eyes.

Wu Xingyun: ?

There's something strange about you all...

As the sound of the white cane tapping gradually faded away on the second floor, Wu Xingyun touched his nose and left the kitchen.

Upon seeing him emerge, Gu Chen paused in his steps, which were about to leave.

"Zhao Zhao might not be back for another two days. If you feel bored, you can go back to the Wu family for a few days. When she comes back, you can go home."

"I have something to take care of, so I can't look after you."

what?

Wu Xingyun frowned.

“With none of you home, who’s going to look after the child? I’m telling you, since you adopted Xiao Xuan, you need to fulfill your parental responsibilities…”

He kept talking incessantly, unaware that Gu Chen's dark eyes were somewhat cold.

"It's alright, I'll take him with me."

Wu Xingyun was even more confused.

Gu Chen had something to do and couldn't take care of him, but he had to bring a child along.

What is this person doing with a child?

"Lan Yao, take Mr. Wu home for me."

Clearly, Gu Chen no longer wanted to communicate and simply instructed Lan Yao to see the guest out.

Before Wu Xingyun could react, Gu Chen had already turned and gone upstairs.

The study door closed silently.

Po Jun appeared quietly.

"Lord!"

His tone was hurried and anxious, with a hint of anger and panic.

"It doesn't matter."

Gu Chen raised his hand to stop him from continuing.

His eyes darkened, and his gaze lingered on something outside the window.

A gentle light touched his eyes.

"It's almost time. How's Tianzhu doing?"

Po Jun's voice choked slightly, and he took a deep breath before speaking slowly.

"The Heavenly Pillar is unharmed, but my lord... are you truly certain?"

"Can you afford this price?"

Gu Chen chuckled lightly, something he hadn't done before.

A smile appeared on his handsome face, and he chuckled softly at the end.

"Everyone says that Heaven is impartial and selfless, but now I just want to be selfish for once."
