Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife – o

One year later.

Xuanjin, Ancient Martial World, Gu Family Old Residence.

"Family Head! Family Head, something bad has happened!"

"What is it that has you flustered?" Gu Yulin poked his head out from the hall, frowned, and looked disapprovingly at the butler.

"Family Head, another large group of people has come outside, saying..."

"Saying they want us to hand over Lao San?!" Gu Yulin raised an eyebrow.

The butler nodded, his face filled with worry. When will this ever end? It’s been a year, and these people are still relentless!

Gu Yulin sneered, "Let them cause a scene; soon someone will deal with them!"

After speaking, he flicked his robe and turned to walk into the hall. He looked up at the two old masters of the Gu Family playing chess, and suddenly sighed.

Old Master Gu Zhongyi raised his head, glanced at him, "Yulin, why are you sighing at such a young age?"

Gu Yulin went to sit in front of Elder Gu, poured a cup of hot tea for the two old men, and respectfully said, "I’m just worried about my cousin. Xiao Qing still hasn’t sent any news, and if she truly... won’t my cousin lose it again?"

Gu Zhongyi froze with his chess piece, sighed, and casually tossed the piece onto the board.

It’s already been a year since Girl Qing disappeared, and Lao San has become like a different person. If it weren’t for Long Zixuan and the others firmly believing that An Yiqing is still alive, that guy would probably have followed suit, right?

Recalling the blood-stained wedding a year ago, those present shivered.

An Yiqing and Xiao Yu both fell off the cliff, Gu Yelin witnessed it, and the God-Devil Physique fully awakened. Hundreds remaining on Fengluan Mountain were all slaughtered by the Sky Devil Sword. He seemed to have lost his mind, killing gods, killing Buddhas. Those people were terrified, begging and crying in fear. However, Gu Yelin was consumed by madness, unable to hear their pleas.

If they had known today, why did they act as they did?

At that time, Elder Gu and Ye Chenghong were exhausted and fainted. Upon waking, they saw Gu Yelin’s Sky Devil Sword aimed at Long Zixuan and the others. Long Zixuan and the team were at their breaking point, unable to handle the wrath of Gu Yelin. All three were prepared to die, but Ye Chenghong suddenly lashed out, slapping Gu Yelin across the face.

"What do you want to do?! They are the girl’s family; do you want to kill them?! Get yourself together! An Yiqing’s husband is definitely not a coward!"

The sea breeze blew, blood stained the ground. Atop the towering mountain of corpses, Gu Yelin stood holding the Sky Devil Sword, silent for a long time.

Finally, he suddenly collapsed to the ground and fainted.

Ye Chenghong breathed a sigh of relief, having only gambled on a chance, and he won. His vision darkened, and he fainted as well.

That day, they were all arranged to stay at the Gu Family Villa. Blocked by people from the Nangong Family, the Gu Family Guard Army was filled with anger; seeing their injured master return, they spontaneously surrounded the Gu Family Old Residence, ready to kill anyone who approached.

Later, Cao Xiaosha, Tan Yulin, and others learned the truth and were furious. What nonsense about the God-Devil Physique, they only recognized him as their boss! Immediately, Cao Xiaosha and several others led a group, armed to the teeth with various weapons, into the Ancient Martial World, encircling the Gu Family Old Residence in multiple layers.

Cao Xiaosha hoisted a rocket launcher on his shoulder, blocking the way like an army of one at the front, blatantly warning those people to taste the power of the rocket launcher if they dared to target their boss!

The people of the Ancient Martial World may be powerful, but they were ultimately just flesh and blood. They could block bullets, but against such large-scale lethal weapons, they dared not make a direct assault. Reluctantly, they withdrew for the time being, waiting for the chance to act once these intruders left.

Gu Yelin was unconscious for a full month; when he woke again, the first thing he saw was Long Zixuan.

"Sister An isn’t dead, but for now, we can’t find her. You must live well and never fail her."

Gu Yelin was silent and nodded heavily.

The Gu Family members were delighted to hear Gu Yelin had awakened. However, they found that he had changed. He was colder than before. If previously, beneath a hard outer shell lay a warm heart, now he was entirely cold within and without. With An Yiqing gone, he sealed himself away, taking that warmth with her.

Gu Yulin asked Long Zixuan innumerable times whether An Yiqing was truly alive or if they were being deceived. Long Zixuan repeatedly assured them, indeed, she was alive; their bond was still intact.

The Gu Family members relaxed, knowing Gu Yelin would definitely not seek death.

Thus, a year passed uneventfully. An Yiqing was still not found, and many changes had occurred in Xuanjin.
