Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

"Let go."

The banquet hall suddenly fell silent.

Huo Tingchen looked at Wu Xingyun in surprise and asked uncertainly, "Mr. Wu, do you know each other?"

Wu Xingyun walked to Wu Zhao's side and rudely slapped away the bodyguard who was grabbing her. Wu Zhao staggered and was supported by him.

A familiar aura made Wu Zhao a little puzzled, and she looked up at Wu Xingyun with some curiosity.

Why does this person seem so familiar? Is his surname Wu?

Could he be a descendant of the Wu family? A hint of surprise flashed in Wu Zhao's eyes.

Shen Jiaojiao looked at the handsome and noble Wu Xingyun, a deep meaning flashing in her eyes.

"Is this gentleman a friend of my sister's? My sister just came back from the countryside and I don't know where she met him. My sister doesn't know anything about this, so please don't misunderstand her."

What a mouthful of nonsense! A cold glint flashed in Wu Zhao's eyes.

"What's it to you? You might as well get a decent coffin for your fiancé now, so it doesn't rot at home later."

Huo Tingchen's lips twitched. "Shen Zhaozhao, don't think that just because someone is helping you, you can speak recklessly! Do you really think I wouldn't dare to do anything to you?"

Wu Xingyun smiled. "Mr. Huo came to the Wu family to see my sister last week, there must have been a reason, right?"

Huo Tingchen knew better than anyone what the Wu family did in the capital.

As the heir to the Huo family, one of the four great families of the capital, Huo Tingchen was considered the top figure in the business world. Those in business naturally value feng shui, so he understood perfectly what Wu Xingyun was talking about.

The Wu family was only invited to today's engagement banquet because of the Huo and Gu families.

In the capital city, where powerful families abound, the Wu family's enduring strength is not solely due to the current political prowess of its eldest son.

Today, the Wu family, along with the Gu and Ye families, is known as one of the three top families in the capital, thanks to its centuries-old family heritage and the inheritance of feng shui masters!

It is said that a thousand years ago, there was a great shaman in the Wu family who could communicate with heaven and earth and was the agent of the Way of Heaven.

He once sealed the Yellow Springs Yin Gate single-handedly, demonstrating his terrifying abilities.

Thinking of all this, Huo Tingchen's gaze gradually turned hostile: "Do you mean to imply that your sister is going against the Huo family?!"

"When you need someone's help, I advise you to speak more politely," Wu Xingyun said calmly.

"If you say it's your family matter, then who is she to your Shen family?"

Shen Chuan was taken aback by the question. He looked at Shen Jiaojiao and then at Madam Shen, who seemed about to faint from anger, and said with some difficulty, "She is me..."

"She's an adopted daughter! She's the adopted daughter our Shen family just recognized!"

"She has nothing to do with the Shen family! Get her out! Get out!"

Madam Shen interrupted Shen Chuan with a scream, and Shen Jiaojiao, who was somewhat nervous, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sister, don't be angry with Mom. She's just too worried about me..."

Supported by the housekeeper, Madam Shen's disgust for Wu Zhao deepened as she looked at Shen Jiaojiao's aggrieved expression. After all, she hadn't grown up by his side; there was no way she could truly be tame.

She looked at Wu Zhao with disgust, as if she were looking at an enemy rather than her own daughter.

Wu Zhao clenched his fingers, feeling the kinship thread wrapped around them almost breaking.

This is fantastic! She doesn't want to stay in the Shen family, which is like a den of dragons and tigers, for even a minute longer!

Upon seeing this, Wu Xingyun said, "Since she is an adopted daughter, I, Wu Xingyun, am here today, and neither your Shen family nor the Huo family can touch her."

He's really interesting. Wu Zhao looked at Wu Xingyun with a meaningful gaze. Judging from his handsome features and ruddy complexion, it seemed the Wu family bloodline was being passed down well…

Thinking this, Wu Zhao's gaze softened as he looked at Wu Xingyun.

Huo Tingchen was surrounded by bodyguards, clearly indicating that he had come with ill intentions.

“You’re already half dead, I advise you not to keep courting death.” Wu Xingyun shook his head.

Wu Zhao's vision blurred slightly. She took a deep breath and looked at Huo Tingchen: "You haven't slept well for half a month, have you? Do you wake up in a fright every night?"

"It wouldn't feel good to have your neck violently choked in the middle of the night, would it?"

Huo Tingchen's pupils contracted, and he gritted his teeth, saying in a deep voice, "What do you know?!"

“I know why you’re dying soon, or in less than three months.”

Shen Jiaojiao said nervously, "Sister, what are you saying? Did you say something inappropriate because you were upset?"

"Impossible, that person clearly said it could be delayed any longer..." Huo Tingchen shut his mouth under Wu Zhao's somewhat mocking gaze.

Wu Zhao didn't notice that Wu Xingyun was looking at her with a strange gaze while she was speaking, while Wu Xingyun only felt a strange sense of familiarity with this unfamiliar girl.

It felt like I'd seen it somewhere before; it was a very strange feeling.

"Let's leave here first," Wu Zhao said.

Then she turned to Wu Xingyun and said in a very soft voice, "Please take me out of here."

Since they are from the Wu family, they should be trustworthy.

Wu Xingyun supported Wu Zhao, saying, "Mr. Huo, if you want to live, it's best to obey."

Huo Tingchen glanced at Wu Zhao, whose expression was off, and then at Wu Xingyun, who had a tough look on his face. He raised his hand and said, "Let them go."

"Brother Tingchen! How could you let a stranger take my sister away! She, she's my sister!" Shen Jiaojiao said in disbelief, feeling a little anxious.

Shen Zhaozhao cannot leave the Shen family! Even if she does leave, she cannot leave alive!

Wu Zhao, who was originally preparing to leave, was getting a little annoyed. She pushed Wu Xingyun aside and walked up to Shen Jiaojiao.

"I've wanted to say this for a long time: if you don't want that mouth of yours anymore, I can sew it back on for you!"

Before anyone could react, she raised her hand and slapped Shen Jiaojiao hard.

"You owe me this slap. Remember, don't mess with me again!"

With a loud slap, Shen Jiaojiao staggered and screamed, covering her face in shock: "Shen Zhaozhao, you're crazy! Brother Tingchen, you have to help me catch her!"

"Shut up," Huo Tingchen said unhappily, his face dark. "Can the Wu family and the Shen family in the capital afford to offend them?!"

Wu Shiyu, the genius young patriarch of the Wu family, is Wu Xingyun's twin sister.

She is said to be the most outstanding feng shui master in the Wu family in a hundred years! People who want to meet her are as numerous as fish crossing a river!

Even the Huo family wouldn't dare to easily confront them, so what is the Shen family of Haicheng?

"The engagement banquet has turned out like this. Call my father and tell him he doesn't need to come. He should return to the capital in three days!"

Huo Tingchen impatiently finished speaking to the bodyguard and turned to leave, completely disregarding Shen Jiaojiao's unpleasant expression.

"Young Master Huo!" Shen Chuan quickly caught up with him. Madam Shen had already fainted upon hearing that the engagement banquet was canceled and had to be helped away by the servants.

Seeing this, everyone quickly made excuses to leave, and the lively banquet hall became empty in the blink of an eye.

Watching Wu Xingyun take Wu Zhao away, the engagement banquet was interrupted, and Shen Jiaojiao stood in the banquet hall with her charming face twisted with anger.

"Shen Zhaozhao, you should have died, why are you still alive!"

After bringing Wu Zhao out of the Shen family villa, Wu Xingyun let go of his hand. He stared at Wu Zhao with some suspicion in his eyes: "Why do you have the Wu family totem on your body?"

He only spoke up to stop Wu Zhao because he saw the totem in Wu Zhao's hand.

Wu Zhao closed her eyes, and a thin stream of spiritual energy flowed through her body.

What can this little bit of spiritual energy do? It's barely enough to nourish her meridians, let alone repair her shattered soul! She frowned, her face extremely pale.

She must see that Emperor Star as soon as possible, otherwise her body will soon be completely destroyed by Shen Jiaojiao's curse.

“I think I have some connection with your Wu family,” Wu Zhao said, looking at Wu Xingyun. “You’ll find out later.”

Unexpectedly, even after sleeping for three thousand years, the Wu family's lineage has not been broken.

"That's good news, I suppose," Wu Zhao thought to himself.

Before he could ask any more questions, Huo Tingchen, his face full of anger, came out, followed by his bodyguard and a somewhat anxious Shen Chuan.

He walked up to Wu Zhao and asked with displeasure, "What exactly do you want to do, Shen Zhao? If it's because of me, then I advise you to give up the idea."

"If it weren't for the trace of purple aura on you, she wouldn't bother with you at all!" Wu Zhao scoffed.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you," Wu Zhao said.

"Shen Zhaozhao, where did you learn this crooked and evil way? I advise you to give up as soon as possible..." Shen Chuan followed closely behind and criticized Wu Zhaozhao without any politeness.

His domineering manner disgusted Wu Zhao.

"That's enough." Huo Tingchen looked at Shen Chuan. "Young Master Shen, if you have time, why don't you go and clean up your family's banquet? This is now a matter for the Huo family."

Shen Chuan blushed slightly at what was said: "Mr. Huo, but you and Jiao Jiao..."

"I've made myself perfectly clear, Mr. Shen shouldn't be deaf." Huo Tingchen waved his hand, and the bodyguards behind him immediately stepped forward and rudely separated Shen Chuan.

Seeing that the troublemakers had been pulled away, Wu Zhaocai said to Huo Tingchen, "I will take care of your life. You are responsible for getting me out of Haicheng."

"How did you know..." Huo Tingchen fell silent when he saw Wu Zhao's meaningful look. He looked at Wu Xingyun beside him, "Why didn't you look for him?"

Wu Xingyun shrugged. "I don't need her to save my life."

Huo Tingchen: ...

"Okay, I'll take you away."

Wu Zhao glanced at Wu Xingyun, who seemed hesitant to speak. Although he knew Wu Xingyun was full of doubts, Wu Zhao still said with some reservation, "May we meet again someday."

The Huo family's car was parked not far from the villa. When the driver saw Huo Tingchen walking over with Wu Zhao, he looked somewhat surprised.

"Go back to Uncle Xu's villa first; my uncle is there," Huo Tingchen instructed after getting into the car. "The engagement banquet is canceled; we'll talk about the rest later."

He pressed his temples, revealing a hint of fatigue.

"Okay, Master."

Wu Zhao sat down next to him and, seeing the driver's shocked and confused look, said, "If you continue to stay in Haicheng and meet with Shen Jiaojiao, you'll die soon."

The person who stole the original owner's fortune will not let go of Huo Tingchen's wealthy destiny.

Huo Tingchen looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"What do you mean? Shen Zhaozhao, are you crazy? Do you think Jiaojiao would kill me?"

Wu Zhao's gaze was sharp and certain: "Your body started showing abnormalities after you agreed to get engaged to her, right?"

Seeing Huo Tingchen's frozen figure, Wu Zhao continued, "You are blessed with a life of wealth and honor by your ancestors' good deeds. In addition, there is a person with an extremely noble destiny by your side who is the Ziwei Emperor Star, and you are related by blood. You are tainted with a trace of purple aura."

"This Ziwei Emperor Star is a person of great fortune, and he has a close relationship with you and is willing to give you his auspicious energy."

Wu Zhao glanced at the purple aura floating around him and said, "It seems that this Emperor Star is quite kind to you, giving you enough luck to ensure a smooth life."

"However, if it weren't for this purple aura, Shen Jiaojiao might not have set her sights on you so quickly."

There was a hint of envy in her eyes. How wonderful it would be if such nutritious energy could be delivered to her, perfect for repairing her soul, it would be a great tonic!

Seemingly startled by her intense gaze, the purple aura actually flinched.

Purple Qi: Help! This person is terrifying!
