Chapter 279 The Person Being Watched in the Dark
Jin Yao returned quickly.
He was called back by Lan Yao after his advancement, and his face was still covered in a thin layer of sweat.
"what happened?"
When Jin Yao received the call, he didn't hear what Lan Yao said clearly, only that the matter was urgent.
That's why he rushed back.
"Zhaozhao is sick, go in and take a look."
Gu Chen carefully closed Wu Zhao's door and pointed to the room when he saw Jin Yao arrive.
Is Wu Zhao ill?
Jin Yao found it somewhat unbelievable; in his eyes, Wu Zhao was an omnipotent and incredibly powerful person.
"Okay, I'll go in and take a look."
With a first-aid kit slung over his shoulder, Jin Yao knocked on the door and went inside.
Wu Xingyun hung up the phone and peeked inside through the door.
"Mr. Gu, my sister might be coming over in a little while."
“With such a thing happening to our ancestor, my sister definitely has to come and see.”
Gu Chen nodded.
"Of course, it's understandable that you're worried about her. Let her come; it'll put your mind at ease once she's here and sees for herself."
Jin Yao didn't stay in the house for very long.
He looked somewhat puzzled when he came out.
"Master, Miss is alright. She's just a little weak and should rest well for the next few days."
"others……"
After a subtle pause, Jin Yao's lips twitched.
He knew that Wu Zhao was different from ordinary people. Even though he was somewhat deficient in qi and blood, his body was still as strong as an ox!
"Her hair..."
Wu Xingyun hesitated before speaking, still somewhat uneasy.
"Well, it might be due to Miss's own constitution, but she's in good health right now. Her hair should recover once she's rested."
Jin Yao pondered for a moment before saying that he was guessing that Wu Zhao's hair condition might be related to her special ability.
Gu Chen clearly noticed what he hadn't finished saying, and his furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
"Stay in the villa for the next few days and don't leave."
"Yes, master."
Wu Shiyu arrived shortly afterward.
She and Wu Xingyun stayed nervously in Wu Zhao's room for a long time, and when they came out, their eyes were still a little red.
Because he was worried about Wu Zhao, Xiao Xuan had already been instructed by Wu Xingyun when he came back from kindergarten.
He held up a slightly wilted little flower and approached Wu Zhao's bedside.
"Sister, here are some flowers for you."
"If you're in a good mood, you'll get better quickly!"
He received this flower for behaving well in kindergarten.
Today, when he was in kindergarten, Teacher Lily taught them how to make flower wreaths. This flower was given to him by Teacher Lily because she saw that he liked it very much.
This was Xiao Xuan's first reward, and he cherished it, protecting the flowers with a determination to bring them back and give them to Wu Zhao.
His youthful face showed a very serious expression, and his earnest manner made Wu Zhao unable to resist smiling and reaching out to pinch his cheek.
"Thank you for the flowers, I will keep them safe."
The villa suddenly became lively in the evening.
Wu Zhao's body has recovered somewhat and he is not as weak as he was in the afternoon.
Wu Xingyun noticed that her hair had recovered a little, so he was less worried and let her get out of bed.
"You really scared me, Grandpa. Let's not do that again next time."
Wu Xingyun still felt lingering fear when he thought of seeing Wu Zhao's pale face and blood spitting out.
"Hmm, I didn't expect the Shen family to be so decisive."
Wu Zhao's smile was somewhat mocking.
Although the kinship with the Shen family has always been ambiguous, the previous connections were still quite close.
In addition, there was a previous entanglement of fate between her and Shen Jiaojiao, so she couldn't easily touch the Shen family.
She hadn't expected to be so suddenly severed from her kinship and suffer such a backlash.
That evening, Lan Yao specially cooked a pot of nourishing porridge and only left after watching Wu Zhao drink it with peace of mind.
"Zhaozhao, how are you feeling now?"
Gu Chen sat on the sofa by the bed, looking at Wu Zhao.
He raised his hand, his fingers tracing across her cheek.
He tucked a strand of long hair, streaked with silver, behind Wu Zhao's ear.
"It's much better now, thanks to you being here."
Wu Zhao smiled and shrugged, looking quite relaxed.
"...Do you always like to act tough?"
Even though she was already unsteady on her feet, she still forced herself to stand there.
Feeling a little guilty for being seen through, Wu Zhao touched the ring on his hand.
The next second, Gu Chen grabbed her hand.
"Zhaozhao, do you still have the strength?"
Uh……
Wu Zhao moved the corners of his mouth slightly.
"I'm suddenly feeling a bit sleepy, maybe I should go to bed early tonight."
The topic was abruptly changed, and Wu Zhao shrank back a little.
Trying to hide oneself.
Gu Chen chuckled and let go of her hand, watching her bury herself in the blankets.
"Go to sleep, I'm here."
Gentle purple mist enveloped her, transforming into a hand that softly patted Wu Zhao's blanket.
Perhaps because he was truly weak, Wu Zhao quickly fell asleep.
Gu Chen listened to her steady breathing and looked at the slightly messy strands of hair around her ears.
The faint silver strands in her long, dark hair were glaringly obvious.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"The Shen family..."
Gu Chen reached out and slowly wrapped his hand around Wu Zhao's long hair, a faint golden light shimmering beneath his hand.
After he withdrew his hand, Wu Zhao's long hair had returned to its original black color.
Seeing that Wu Zhao's long hair had turned back to black, Zi Qi quickly raised her hand and pushed Gu Chen's hand away.
With a hint of disdain, Gu Chen stood up as Zi Qi possessively shielded Wu Zhao beneath her.
Ignoring the purple aura that was pushing him away, he lowered his head and placed a light kiss on Wu Zhao's forehead.
Sweet dreams, Zhao Zhao.
I'll take care of everything.
He then glanced at the struggling purple aura and said, "Behave yourself and don't cause trouble."
After he left, a soft laugh echoed from the darkness.
"My lord, you are truly lucky."
"No matter what, there's always someone protecting you. It's a shame, I thought it would be..."
A vibrant green flashed by in the darkness.
A purple aura enveloped Wu Zhao, and his pale fingers, resting on the blanket, twitched.
……
There was a rustling sound in the darkness.
Something enormous crawled slowly past, its blood-red vertical pupils particularly conspicuous.
"That sorcerer seems to be in a weakened state; now is the best time to make a move."
"Oh? If that's the case, then who will take action? I'm not going, she's already destroyed several of my fake bodies."
……
"Tsk, then let Shen Jiaojiao do it herself... Isn't she determined to replace Shen Zhaozhao?"
“Tell her that as long as Shen Zhaozhao disappears completely, she can truly become the only daughter of the Shen family.”
A mocking laugh echoed in the darkness.
“Interesting, that’s a really good idea.”
"Contact Shen Jiaojiao and tell her to go."
"I'm leaving this matter to you. If you don't handle that sorcerer's matter well, you know what will happen."
"The Sorrow of White Bones".
