Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

No one in the Gu family was asleep late at night.

Upon seeing Wu Zhao descend from the sky, Qing Yao quickly approached.

"Miss, are you okay?"

They naturally heard about the commotion from the Shen family's side.

Although they were very worried, they were also afraid of causing trouble for Wu Zhao, so the people in the villa kept waiting.

I was only slightly relieved after seeing her return.

"If you need to come back, just give me a call and I'll have someone pick you up," Qingyao said softly after Phoenix transformed into a bird. "Even though it's dark now, it wouldn't be good if someone else saw us."

Phoenix slapped Qingyao's face with its wing in annoyance, "I was very careful when I came back, okay? I won't be discovered by humans!"

"Okay, okay, no, no." Qingyao helplessly took a few strands of downy hair off her head. "Little Red, is it shedding season? You're shedding so easily."

"What?!" Phoenix was instantly enraged. "This Demon King doesn't shed feathers! Wait—you dared to call this Demon King Little Red!"

A man and a bird were bickering behind Wu Zhao.

She shook her head speechlessly and pouted at Lan Yao, who opened the door for her.

Lan Yao suppressed a laugh: "Miss, please come in quickly. The head of the family guessed you would be back soon and specially asked the kitchen to save some food for you."

"Okay, I happen to have something to say to Gu Chen."

Wu Zhao nodded, ignoring the two childish kids bickering behind him.

Gu Chen was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a thick book in his hand as always.

Seeing her walk in, he patted the spot next to him and said, "Zhaozhao, come here."

His expression was calm, but his movements revealed a subtle warmth.

Wu Zhao couldn't help but feel his ears burning.

“…What?” Wu Zhao muttered under his breath, lingering for a moment before slowly walking over and sitting down next to him.

A dense purple aura enveloped her instantly, clinging tightly to her body.

“Feng Boxue is dead.” Gu Chen put down the book in his hand and said a statement.

Wu Zhao paused for a moment to think about who this Feng Boxue was, before realizing that he was the old Feng who had been struck by lightning and turned into charcoal.

She hummed in agreement, "Yes, actually he was already dead... and the person inside his body wasn't the original one anymore."

"I think the people around him might have guessed something, but no one dares to confirm it."

Touching the ring on his hand, Wu Zhao continued, "I would like to ask you for a favor. I need to go to a hospital that has been sealed off by the military."

Gu Chen nodded: "If you want to see Feng Boxue about his health, I'll take you first thing tomorrow morning."

"Hmm... By the way, could you let these people come along too?" Wu Zhao took out a slip of paper from his ring, on which three names were vaguely written.

It was the three people that the lingering spirit in the underworld decided to meet after bargaining with Wu Zhao.

Looking at the three names with some surprise, Gu Chen did not refuse: "Sure, although it may be a bit difficult, you can see them at the hospital if you want."

"The hospital is still keeping the news under wraps, and these people aren't currently in the capital. But they'll definitely all be at the hospital tomorrow, and that's when you'll see them."

Tomorrow... Wu Zhao pondered.

At this moment, Lan Yao came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of food.

"Miss, are you hungry? Come and have something to eat."

Upon smelling the enticing aroma, Wu Zhao's stomach rumbled twice.

Gu Chen's lips curled into a slight smile. "Don't think about it too much. Let's go eat something first."

"That's true." Wu Zhao pressed his temples and stood up.

Lan Yao thoughtfully handed her chopsticks and said with a smile, "Eat something and get some rest. Miss hasn't been sleeping well these past few days."

Gu Chen also said, "Lan Yao is right, get some rest."

“…Hmm.” Wu Zhao did not reject their suggestion.

Anyway, we'll find out tomorrow who made the deal with Shen Jiaojiao.

……

Day two.

Although Gu Chen promised Wu Zhao last night that he would take her to the hospital first thing this morning.

However, after receiving a phone call in the morning, Gu Chen's expression became somewhat serious.

He said to Wu Zhao, who was standing to the side, "Jin Yao just called and said that Feng Boxue's body has been taken away by the military."

“They refused to say where they were taking people, but Jin Yao was shrewd and took pictures of them.”

As Gu Chen spoke, he handed his phone to Wu Zhao.

The photo on the phone looks like it was taken from a great distance, and you can't see the faces clearly.

However, Wu Zhao saw a familiar black hooded figure in the photo, and what was even more strange was that both hooded figures gave Wu Zhao an extremely familiar feeling.

Just like the Black and White Holy Messengers who have already been dealt with.

How can it be?

Wu Zhao's expression turned somewhat grim as he rapidly twirled the ring on his finger.

We can't find out where they went. Could it be that someone deliberately concealed their whereabouts?

This feeling of déjà vu made Wu Zhao's brows furrow even more deeply.

A warm finger touched her furrowed brow.

Wu Zhao looked up in surprise and saw Gu Chen staring at him with his eyes lowered.

"Don't worry, Zhao Zhao, I'll help you find them."

He turned to look at Qingyao by the door, and Qingyao bowed and replied, "Your subordinate will investigate immediately."

"It seems they still have people in the military. It will be difficult to meet the person on the note." Wu Zhao thought for a moment. "These people are really good at hiding."

Gu Chen said, "Perhaps it's not just people from the military; there might be others as well. I'll try to contact two of them first; they've already returned to the capital overnight."

"Don't force it, lest you alert them." Wu Zhao looked at him. "If we can't meet in person, I can think of another way."

They might as well draw a dream-entering talisman and stuff that old man into their dreams. After all, it's just a meeting, and they didn't even say how they would meet.

Gu Chen raised his hand and touched her slightly messy hair. "Don't worry, I know what to do."

"Tingchen has been wanting to see you ever since he came back, so do you want to see him?"

Why did Huo Tingchen want to see her? Wu Zhao was somewhat puzzled.

"Shouldn't he be helping his brother protect his wife right now? What is he doing seeing me?"

Then she noticed that Gu Chen looked somewhat uncomfortable.

"After he came back, he saw those trending topics on Weibo, so he came over and asked me—"

Wu Zhao then realized that Huo Tingchen probably wanted to ask about her marital relationship with Gu Chen!

This... even Wu Zhao felt a little embarrassed.

Huo Tingchen, who was waiting to see her, suddenly sneezed in his office.

He looked at the messy trending topics on Weibo with dissatisfaction, and slammed his phone down on the table.

"What kind of nonsense is this trending topic!"

"My uncle is perfectly innocent and single, how did he suddenly become love-obsessed?!"
