Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Chapter 36 You dare mention her name?

"Defying fate and defying destiny? What an overbearing name," Wu Xingyun said in surprise.

Gu Chen's fingers twitched.

Wu Xingyun looked at him and asked, "Is this talisman aimed at Patriarch Gu? What is it for?"

Wu Zhao closed the box. "As the name suggests, it's for defying fate."

"It is a rather powerful and terrifying spell."

"The one who created this talisman..."

It's the way of heaven!

Clenching his fists, Wu Zhao's expression was somewhat inscrutable.

She stared intently at Gu Chen, her gaze unwavering.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen looked at her innocently. "Is there something on my face?"

Wu Zhao walked up to Gu Chen, grabbed the sofa armrests with both hands, and moved closer to Gu Chen.

His warm breath brushed against my face, and his unique, cool fragrance wafted over me.

Wu Zhao's gaze was fixed intently on Gu Chen's eyes.

"Ah—" Wu Xingyun gasped, muttering softly, "Why suddenly... do I need to leave?"

No one cares about him.

So he quietly shifted his feet, but didn't move.

Gu Chen, who was being stared at by Wu Zhao, twitched his eyelids and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Is there anything you're hiding from me?" Wu Zhao asked.

Gu Chen's eyes were calm, but a hint of doubt appeared when he heard her question.

He said, "What should I be hiding from you?"

Tsk. Wu Zhao was somewhat annoyed.

She reached out and grabbed Gu Chen's chin, then boldly shook him from side to side.

This face is so beautiful, it's as if it were meticulously sculpted by the Creator.

But no matter how she looked at it, he was completely different from the dog Tiandao she remembered...

The spells of Heaven are too much for ordinary people to withstand, and those whose spells are taken from them cannot escape from them.

I've only seen this curse once, so I'm not entirely sure.

Is it because Gu Chen is the favored son of Heaven that he receives special affection?

So...it shouldn't be, right?

After all, Dog Heavenly Dao wouldn't let himself end up in such a miserable state.

"Cough cough cough-"

Gu Chen coughed a few times, bringing Wu Zhao back from her deep thoughts.

"Can you relax now? My neck is a little tired."

Wu Zhao then realized that she was still pinching Gu Chen's chin.

She reluctantly withdrew her hand, "You'd better not be..."

"Uh...it's over?" Wu Xingyun looked at Wu Zhao slowly retreating with some regret.

Wu Zhao pointed to the jade on the table and said, "Keep the box, and take the jade to your sister."

"Huh? Wasn't it supposed to be a jade plaque carved for Patriarch Gu?" Wu Xingyun asked.

“Of course I have a better one. You can take this one back. I just treated it so no one will notice.”

Wu Xingyun then accepted the jade.

After waiting for almost another hour, someone came to inform us that the ship had docked and we could disembark.

Wu Shiyu left early because she had to go to the police station.

Before leaving, he also took Chen Fang with him.

When Wu Zhao pushed Gu Chen's wheelchair off the ship, Huo Tingchen had been waiting for a while.

He first had someone send the injured Qingyao to the hospital, and then nervously looked at his uncle.

"I'm fine, don't worry," Gu Chen said after he had looked at him for a while.

Huo Tingchen breathed a sigh of relief and came over to push his wheelchair: "It's good that you're alright. Gu Da told me that you hadn't replied to my messages for a long time after the accident on the ship, and I was a little worried."

His expression shifted slightly: "Was it really Gu Jiaping who had the accident?"

"Hmm." Gu Chen nodded indifferently.

Wu Zhao observed Huo Tingchen's face and said, "It seems you've been doing very well lately, and you've been quite obedient."

A small head popped out of his chest pocket.

The little paper figure's hands were short and round.

He swayed at Wu Zhao, seemingly expressing his excitement.

"It seems you're all doing quite well."

They are all so healthy and lively.

Huo Tingchen helped Gu Chen into the car before saying, "I've been staying at home obediently and haven't met or interacted with anyone from the old house."

After saying that, he looked at Gu Chen in the car and said, "The old family home has been urging you to come back several times, asking when you will return."

"Let them wait. Yue Jinsheng just got back anyway."

Wu Zhao said, preparing to get on the car from the other side door.

A sharp, piercing screech of brakes came from not far away, and then a woman with an angry expression and adorned with jewels rushed over.

"Gu Chen! You heartless jinx! Give me back my son's life!"

"It's all because of you that Pingping got into this mess! You killed Pingping!"

"Why don't you just die! Go—"

There was a snap.

A loud slap interrupted her shouting.

Ye Xinrong staggered a few steps, then covered her face in shock.

"Where did you come from, you little slut?! Mmmmm—"

Before she could finish speaking, she clutched her throat in terror and realized she couldn't utter a word!

Wu Zhao's eyes were cold, as if covered with ice and snow.

She looked at Ye Xinrong and said, "If you can't speak human language, I don't mind making sure you can never speak again."

"Wait a minute!" Huo Tingchen walked over and stopped her. "She is the wife of the Gu family, and the aunt of my uncle."

Gu Chen, inside the car, rolled down the window and said in a cool voice, "Zhao Zhao, let's go back."

Looking at Ye Xinrong's face, Wu Zhao couldn't help but say, "Instead of shouting like a shrew here, why don't you go home and see what your best friend is up to?"

A face shrouded in green clouds, a sign of impending financial ruin; even looking at it for a second is an eyesore.

She then snapped her fingers, lifting the silencing.

Ye Xinrong spat twice and angrily rebuked, "Gu Chen! Is this your family's upbringing?!"

"Is this how Huo Lan raised you? Or is it because she died young that you have no manners at all!"

"enough!"

Huo Tingchen pulled her away, his tone filled with anger: "Mrs. Gu, I respect you as an elder and don't want to put you in a difficult position, but don't push your luck!"

"You dare mention her name?"

"I……"

Perhaps it was Huo Tingchen's harsh tone and unpleasant expression that made Ye Xinrong shrink back.

As soon as she started saying Gu Chen's mother's name, Wu Zhao quickly reached out and covered Gu Chen's ears.

"Don't listen to such offensive talk."

Gu Chen chuckled softly, "It's nothing, I didn't hear anything."

Seeing that Ye Xinrong was silent, Huo Tingchen said, "I am also very sorry about Gu Jiaping's matter, but it has nothing to do with my uncle. If Madam Gu wants to know the specifics, she should wait for the report from the Imperial Capital Police Bureau."

"Stop bothering my uncle!"

After the stern warning, Huo Tingchen quickly got into the car.

Inside the car, Wu Zhao was holding up a talisman and muttering to himself.

"You'll regret this nonsense!"

The talisman transformed into a gentle breeze, slipped through the window, and crashed into Ye Xinrong's body.

She shuddered and looked around with some confusion.

"Hurry up!" Wu Zhao said quickly, "Don't get hurt when it thunders and rains."

Ok?

The driver was taken aback, but still drove off as Wu Zhao had instructed.

Not long after we left, a few raindrops began to fall on the windshield.

After a continuous rumble of thunder, a scream came from the dock.

"Help! Someone's been struck by lightning!"

"Call for emergency help immediately!"
