Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Chapter 270 It’s rude to come and not return.

"What has the Shen family been doing lately?"

Wu Zhao turned the ring on his hand, his expression returning to calm.

Why did Shen Jiaojiao have to wait until now to show up?

Could it be that the Shen family has made some moves recently?

Unexpectedly, Wu Zhao suddenly asked about Shen Jiaojiao, and Lan Yao was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"Why is Miss suddenly asking about the Shen family? There hasn't been any news about the Shen family in the capital lately, but the Ye family has been making quite a few moves..."

Lan Yao recalled some recent information and looked at Wu Zhao, asking, "If Miss needs information about the Shen family, I will contact them now."

Wu Zhao waved her hand, telling her not to rush, and then pondered for a moment.

"The Ye family..."

She murmured.

The fact that the Shen family has been so well-behaved since arriving in the capital is somewhat unlike their usual style.

Most likely, they have someone guiding them from behind.

The Witch Saint Cult specifically brought the Shen family from Haicheng to the capital; surely they didn't just intend for the Shen family to fade into obscurity.

To make her wary, they specifically hid her in a place like a military compound. It's likely that someone within the Witch Saint Cult had already noticed that Wu Zhao was wary of such a place.

"It seems this old friend knows me quite well."

Wu Zhao felt a strange urge to laugh.

Huo Weiwei and Zi Yao shuddered at the smile on her face.

I find that smile really scary!

"Um, I'm going upstairs to tidy up. It'll be time for dinner soon!"

Trembling with fear, Huo Weiwei ran away as fast as she could, afraid of becoming an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

Zi Yao also obediently touched his nose.

"Then I'll go to the kitchen and see if I can make something to eat."

Soon only Wu Zhao and Lan Yao remained in the living room.

"I can't get into this military compound, but some people can..."

Wu Zhao sneered.

Just then, a familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Oh dear, let's stop playing here for today. You'll stunt your growth if you stay up too late."

Wu Xingyun led Xiao Xuan in, teasing him as he walked in.

His eyes lit up when he saw Wu Zhao sitting in the living room.

"Ancestor, you're back."

After letting Lan Yao take Xiao Xuan to absorb the nutrients, Wu Xingyun rushed over to Wu Zhao's side. He sat down casually on the sofa next to him and stretched his limbs in a very relaxed manner.

"Oh dear, taking care of a child is exhausting."

He muttered something, then raised his hand and tapped his slightly sore shoulder.

Seeing a dark figure standing behind Wu Zhao, he casually pretended not to see it.

"How was your time with Weiwei today, Grandpa?"

Wu Zhao was somewhat surprised.

Did Wu Xingyun not know that something had happened at Imperial University?

"Shiyu hasn't contacted you?"

what?

Contact what? Wu Xingyun took out his phone and looked at it, completely bewildered, but found no missed calls.

Seeing that he genuinely seemed unaware of the situation, Wu Zhao sighed.

"The Wu family is about to clean house."

Wu Zhao's words made Wu Xingyun, who was fiddling with his phone, pause in his actions.

His previously smiling face turned serious as he looked at Wu Zhao, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

As if knowing what Wu Xingyun was about to say, Wu Zhao raised his hand and held up a finger to stop him from speaking.

"I've already given them a chance, but unfortunately they didn't cherish it."

Last time at the Wu family's house, Wu Zhao had already shown mercy.

The Wu family, father and son, did not cherish it.

Wu Xingyun looked somewhat dejected.

The Wu family was not large, and Wu Ling lived with them when he was young.

In fact, he, his sister, and Wu Yuanhan practically grew up together.

Wu Shiyu seemed to have a natural ability to suppress them; he and Wu Yuanhan had even been beaten by Wu Shiyu together before.

The two of them got into trouble together, and did bad things together.

Thinking back to the time when Wu Shiyu chased and beat him, a trace of regret flashed in Wu Xingyun's eyes.

People's hearts are changeable.

He was still thinking about the past, while Wu Yuanhan had drifted further and further away from them...

Seeing Wu Xingyun lost in his memories, Wu Zhao felt somewhat helpless.

Perhaps because he was raised in the Wu family from a young age without much pressure, Wu Xingyun's temperament is somewhat simple in some ways.

Wu Liufeng and Wu Shiyu are truly very good to their younger brother and sister.

Thinking about how both Wu Xingyun and Wu Nini have a kind of naive foolishness...

Aren't they actually siblings?

Wu Zhao thought to himself.

"He wants you dead, so don't dwell on his good deeds."

Raising his hand, Wu Zhao gently ruffled Wu Xingyun's hair, his voice softening slightly.

"I didn't...sigh."

With a sigh, Wu Xingyun pursed his lips.

"I just find him a bit unacceptable to me. Hasn't the Wu family treated them well enough? Although neither of them has outstanding spiritual power... isn't it nice to be a happy parasite like me, protected by the Wu family?"

You really do have a clear understanding of your own position. Wu Zhao's lips twitched.

"Human desires are endless; once someone gains even a small benefit, there will always be someone who wants more."

When Wu Ling and Wu Yuanhan were misled by outsiders and turned against their own family members, they had already lost their right to be protected by the Wu family.

Wu Zhao turned his head and looked at Danadus, who had been silent all along.

The black figure bowed slightly to her.

“Find them, and then…”

Danadus understood, nodded, and disappeared.

"Yes, my lord."

Then Wu Zhao stood up; it was already dark outside.

"It's getting late. If you're tired, go back to your room and rest."

Wu Xingyun watched Wu Zhao turn and leave, his figure disappearing on the second floor. He took a deep breath, then found that familiar name on his phone.

After hesitating for only a few seconds, he moved his finger and deleted the name.

Wu Zhao's figure flashed by at the corner upstairs.

"My lord, you are quite decisive when it comes to being ruthless."

Nar whispered behind Wu Zhao.

"However, they grew up together, so it's only natural that he hesitated for a moment."

Wu Zhao poked Nar's forehead.

"What, you, a demon god, understand human nature?"

Nar touched the spot where he had been poked and left a red mark, then chuckled.

"I've lived in the mortal realm for quite some time now, so I understand this basic principle. But my lord, are you really planning to eliminate those two traitors from the witch family?"

“The divine punishment outside is watching closely. If I really kill someone… what if something happens? My lord, I don’t want to be struck by lightning.”

Nar said pitifully.

With a click, the door beside Wu Zhao was gently pushed open.

Gu Chen's tall and slender figure appeared behind the door.

"Zhaozhao, you're back?"

The moment he appeared, Nar seemed to have been burned by something and swiftly left behind Wu Zhao.

After retreating a few steps timidly, Nar vanished from the spot.

Wu Zhao: ...

Why are you running so fast? It's like she did something terrible.

"Yes, you know about what happened at school."

Gu Chen turned his gaze away from where Nar had disappeared and reached out to look at Wu Zhao.

"Are you tired? Take a rest and get some rest early tonight."

Seeing his outstretched hand, Wu Zhao hesitated and looked at Gu Chen.

Those deep eyes held no other emotion, only a gentle and calm gaze upon her.

It was as if she hadn't heard a word she said to Nar.

"...I thought you would ask."

For some reason, Wu Zhao didn't want him to misunderstand.

"I didn't intend to..."

Gu Chen walked over and took her hand; his palm was dry and warm.

His voice was deep and his tone was gentle.

"Zhaozhao, I believe you."
