What? Last night, a Nightmare Sacrificial Array was activated nearby?
What? Almost all the sects that came to Jianghai were wiped out?
What? The Black Tortoise Gate was destroyed? The Chosen One died?
What? The fake Ye actually has this kind of power?
What? You successfully infiltrated the righteous side?
Leng Qingqiu's mind was spinning. What’s going on?
Why does it feel like the pressure on my shoulders has suddenly lessened?
What’s happening here?
Last night, wasn’t I busy doing this and that with Gu Yan?
How did a bunch of things just end out of nowhere?
At that moment.
Far away in a hospital bed in Jianghai, Shangguan Miaoyin, who was pretending to be injured, suddenly thought of something and sent another message to Leng Qingqiu.
[By the way, master, Gu Yan is injured and lying in bed at the Gu Family home!]
If it were before, Shangguan Miaoyin would’ve definitely sneered a few times.
But she had already learned her lesson. She had been scolded by her master for mocking Gu Yan in front of him.
So now, she only sneers in her heart.
After all, he’s just a pawn on the surface. Even if Gu Yan is injured, her master probably wouldn’t react too much, right?
[Got it, good job]
Hearing her master’s voice in her mind, Shangguan Miaoyin smiled even more happily.
Hehehe~! The master definitely loves me!
But unlike what Shangguan Miaoyin expected.
After cutting off the contact, Leng Qingqiu was visibly panicking.
“Gu Yan is injured?”
“What should I do? Should I go see him? But how do I explain how I know he’s injured?”
“Damn fake organization... couldn’t they just deal with those sects? Why involve innocent people?”
“What should I do... no... Leng Qingqiu, I think I need to go to the Gu Family!”
“Gu Yan, why do you have to get involved in such things? Did those damn sects force him? Truly evil people!”
Listening, the other Leng Qingqiu thought of something and spoke, her tone a bit unnatural.
[...This is actually a good idea.]
[Since the furnace-holder is injured, we should show some concern.]
[Bring your sister along, let her support you, so it doesn’t seem suspicious.]
Hearing the other Leng Qingqiu support her idea, Leng Qingqiu’s desire to visit Gu Yan grew stronger.
Moreover, today was Saturday, and Leng Ling’er had the day off.
After careful consideration, she nodded, “Alright, I’ll listen to you!”
A few minutes later.
Downstairs.
Although the person in front had the appearance of her sister, Leng Ling’er’s expression was filled with tension and fear.
Because... that presence from last night had appeared again.
She nervously looked at the Leng Qingqiu in front of her and hesitantly asked, “Sis... Are you really my sister?”
?
Leng Qingqiu had been thinking about how to explain herself when she was caught off guard by her sister’s question.
She frowned and coldly scolded, “Ling’er! There’s no time for jokes!”
“Your brother-in-law is injured and lying at home. You and I are going to the Gu Family to check on him!”
“Stop overthinking and stop fantasizing because of those trashy books you read!”
Sss! The familiar older sister vibe! And the familiar title!
It’s really my sister!
Leng Ling’er was almost moved to tears. Yay! My sister is back!
Of course, what puzzled her was that Gu Yan had been fine last night. How did he get injured today?
What happened? Was it because he was too weak?
But it’s good that my sister is taking the initiative to visit him. It’s an opportunity to improve their relationship!
So she quickly nodded, “Sure, sure! I actually have a friend who lives in the same villa district as Gu Yan.”
“I’ll call her to take us there!”
...
...
At the Gu Family home.
In a large bedroom.
Gu Yan, wrapped like a mummy, lay on the bed.
Around the bed were professional martial artist medical personnel.
Gu Yan’s mother, Su Murong, held his hand, her eyes red, her voice choked with emotion. “Sniffle, sniffle! My dear Gu Yan, how did you get injured like this?”
“Gu Tianming! It’s all your fault! You dragged our son into the world of martial artists!”
“I told you, all I want is for our son to live a peaceful life as a normal person!”
“Sniffle, sniffle! What are we going to do now? My dear son... my sweet Gu Yan!”
Gu Tianming, standing nearby, felt deep distress seeing Gu Yan, who nearly didn’t make it, and clenched his fists, his face dark.
Ye...
I didn’t plan to get involved, but now that Gu Yan is dragged into this, then...
Gu Yan himself knew he was overacting a bit.
He coughed lightly and spoke weakly, “Dad... Mom... I’m fine.”
“I’m just worried about Leng Qingqiu not knowing about my condition. Can you let her know that I’m a bit unwell recently?”
Hearing this, despite Su Murong’s dissatisfaction with her daughter-in-law being blind, she still nodded in agreement. “Don’t worry, Gu Yan. I’ll let her know.”
“But you mustn’t take such risks in the future. You scared your mother to death!”
Gu Yan pretended to be weak and replied, “Okay...”
*click*
Gu Tianming and Su Murong left, leaving only the professional martial artist nurses behind.
Once outside.
Su Murong’s face turned as cold as ice, and a murderous intent escaped her lips. “I need to go back to the Su Family.”
Gu Tianming fell silent for a moment but eventually nodded in agreement. “After Gu Yan recovers, I’ll go with you.”
At this, Su Murong’s expression softened a bit, and her eyes reddened again. Leaning on Gu Tianning, she sobbed, “My poor Gu Yan...”
On the other side.
In the Tianhu Cave Villa District where the Gu Family resided.
Three figures walked along the path.
Yan Qingqing, the young lady of the Yan Family with a masochistic tendency, stared in surprise at the closed-eyed cold beauty supported by Leng Ling’er.
Her eyes sparkled.
Wow! What a beautiful sister! Such long eyelashes! So fair-skinned!
Wait... could this be Leng Qingqiu?!
Leng Ling’er seemed to notice Yan Qingqing’s gaze and proudly raised her chin. “What are you looking at? Yes! That’s my older sister!”
“The rumored genius of the world... my brother-in-law’s good wife... Leng... Qing... Ow!”
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by a punch from Leng Qingqiu.
Leng Qingqiu inhaled softly, her cold yet elegant and pleasant demeanor exuding a sense of grace. Her cool voice floated from her lips. “Miss Yan, thank you for bringing us in.”
“My sister is a bit reckless; I hope you don’t take it to heart.”
Hearing Leng Qingqiu’s voice, Yan Qingqing was stunned.
So... so beautiful!
Her face immediately flushed with red embarrassment. “Uh, uh... no problem, I just haven’t seen Gu Yan in a while, so it’s nice to visit him together!”
Upon hearing this.
???
Leng Qingqiu suddenly became alert.
Leng Ling’er also suddenly became alert.
Why are you blushing?!
