Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Chapter 192 Obediently Listen to the Chapter and Go Home

"Impossible, right?" Wu Zhao frowned. "Didn't Jun Wu repair the Heavenly Pillar back then?"

At that time, she was already asleep in the Yellow Springs Underworld, and no one knew what Junwu did with Tianzhu in the end.

Three thousand years have passed, and although the spiritual energy is thin, the world seems peaceful...

He must have already repaired that pillar, right?

After all, he is the omnipotent embodiment of the Heavenly Dao!

Wu Lan was also somewhat uncertain, "I was already dead at that time, so only Lord Junwu probably knows about the Heavenly Pillar."

"Zhaozhao, now that you have some doubts, you must be more careful in the future. If there really is a problem with the Heavenly Pillar, the seal of the Yellow Springs Yin Gate must be handled with extra care."

He patted Wu Zhao's head. "My Zhao Zhao is an adult now. She won't let her power go out of control as easily as before, right?"

"...With none of you around, how else can I go berserk?"

Wu Zhao closed his eyes, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.

If she hadn't witnessed her loved ones being killed or even their souls being scattered before her eyes, how could she have lost control?

The memorial tablet belonging to Wu Lan emitted a faint light, and a blue calligraphy brush appeared before Wu Zhao's eyes.

Upon seeing the calligraphy brush, Wu Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly.

“Take it, I know you want this.” Wu Lan placed the brush in her hand. “Zhao Zhao, you must remember that you are not alone… Even if we are gone, you still have the Wu family behind you.”

Perhaps because she had been out for too long, Wu Lan's spirit became somewhat erratic.

He touched Wu Zhao's face one last time before saying, "I'm a little tired, I'll go back and rest now. Come see me again when you have time. Oh, and... if you find Lord Junwu, please tell him thank you for me."

Thank you to him... for protecting Zhaozhao for the Wu family.

Gripping the slightly cool pen tightly, Wu Zhao said softly, "I understand."

……

Wu Xingyun, who was waiting outside, was getting restless and kept glancing at the tightly closed ancestral hall gate.

This earned him several eye rolls from Wu Shixu.

Gu Chen, standing to the side, remained silent, but Wu Xingyun sensed a hint of tension in his silence.

He asked cautiously, "Mr. Gu, what's wrong? Are you worried about your great-aunt? Don't worry, this is the Wu family's ancestral hall, she'll be fine."

Gu Chen looked up at him and said, "No, I know no one here can hurt her."

He lowered his head, and a strand of hair slipped down, obscuring Gu Chen's eyes.

Wu Xingyun rubbed his eyes in surprise, feeling as if he had just seen Gu Chen's eyes change color.

Just as he was about to take a closer look, the gate of the ancestral hall was opened.

Wu Zhao came out from inside.

"Auntie!"

"Ancestor!"

The voices of Wu Shixu and Wu Xingyun rang out simultaneously.

Wu Zhao looked at Gu Chen first.

When Gu Chen saw her come out, his expression remained unchanged and his voice was low: "Zhao Zhao, are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Wu Zhao replied. "...What's wrong with you?"

She had a feeling that Gu Chen was acting strangely, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"It's nothing, I've probably been standing for a while." Gu Chen's lips twitched.

She probably didn't notice... Gu Chen lowered his eyelids.

Wu Xingyun came closer and asked with a grin, "Grandma, can the ancestors in the ancestral hall really manifest their power?"

He had only heard from the elders in his family that the ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall contained the spirits of their ancestors.

Occasionally, the spirits of the ancestors would appear from the ancestral tablets, but Wu Xingyun had never seen it.

The main reason is that the ancestral hall is a forbidden area for the Wu family, and clansmen are not allowed to approach it casually unless there is something important to discuss.

Even when he was punished, he knelt outside the ancestral hall and dared not go inside.

"So curious? Why don't I have them come out to find you tonight?" Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow and said, "Then you'll know whether they really have appeared."

Wu Xingyun's eyebrows furrowed in fear as he frantically shook his head: "No, no, pretend I didn't say anything! Let the ancestors sleep in their ancestral tablets, they don't need to come out!"

"Nonsense." Wu Shixu rolled her eyes at him, then said to Wu Zhao nervously, "Ancestor, we don't know what's inside the ancestral hall..."

Wu Zhao nodded: "There are indeed a few sleeping. You can offer them incense when you have time. These guys hate being alone, so a little liveliness might make them happier."

A fleeting look of sadness crossed her eyes.

"Then, ancestor, is there really a traitor in the Wu family?"

Wu Shixu clenched his fists tightly, his tone revealing a hint of anger.

"It's not certain yet, I need some time." Wu Zhao turned the ring on his hand, and then stiffly loosened it after realizing what was happening.

I used to touch the ring when I was thinking, but now that I know that the ring is Kimi's eye.

Wu Zhao felt a little awkward no matter how he thought about it.

Gu Chenhen keenly noticed her unease and glanced at the ring on her hand without making it obvious.

The pen she received from Wu Lan was now tucked into her ring. Wu Zhao said, "Don't worry, if anyone really betrays the Wu family, I will personally make that person know... the price of betrayal."

"Zhao Zhao, do you want to stay at the Wu family's place?" Knowing that the garrison had already sealed off the Wu family's place, Gu Chen said, "If you want to leave, you can take my car."

Before she could speak, Wu Shixu quickly said, "Now that our ancestor has returned, he should naturally stay at the Wu family's residence."

"right?"

His expectant gaze made it difficult for Wu Zhao to refuse.

With Wu Xingyun standing to the side looking at him pitifully, Wu Zhao was in a bit of a dilemma.

She glanced at Gu Chen, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"I understand. Well... why don't you stay at the Wu family's house for a few days until things are over, then you can go home, okay?"

Gu Chen naturally saw through her thoughts.

He simply couldn't bear to put her in a difficult position.

Wu Xingyun couldn't help but retort, "This old lady is a member of the Wu family, this is home..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Chen's cold eyes turned to him.

Stared at by those dark eyes, Wu Xingyun's face turned pale instantly, as if he had been choked.

Wu Zhao walked up to him, coughed, and then said, "You go back obediently, and I'll have Phoenix stay with you."

“If there is any danger, Phoenix will notify me immediately.”

Her voice was very soft, reaching Gu Chen's ears: "I'll stay here for a few days. I'll go back once Wu Liufeng has recovered."

"All right?"

The coaxing tone, which was somewhat persuasive, immediately calmed Gu Chen's previously vague unease.

He couldn't help but reach out and grasp Wu Zhao's hand.

"Okay, Zhaozhao."

"I'll wait for you to come back."

As long as... is fine.
