Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

"Ancestor!"

When Wu Shiyu came looking for them under the cover of night, Agares had just tied Xuan Jing and Nie Wu up on the spot.

Upon seeing Agares' figure, Wu Shiyu paused for a moment.

Upon sensing her gaze, Agares' expression remained unchanged, but he slowly retreated and gradually disappeared behind Wu Zhao.

"Why did you come here?" A hint of doubt appeared in Wu Zhao's eyes when she saw her running over. Her eyes darkened and she put the pen in her hand back into her ring.

Xuan Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her put the pen away.

Feeling a little awkward, Wu Shiyu looked away and replied, "The commotion was so loud that everyone in the house could feel it. My uncle was worried about you, so he sent me to check on you."

She placed her hand on her chest with some unease, glancing at Xuan Jing and Nie Wu, who were tied up in place.

"Ancestor, what are they doing?"

Wu Zhao glanced at the two of them and sneered.

"Leave the man at the Wu family's residence, and hand the woman over to the police." Wu Zhao glanced at the sky outside the barrier and added, "Tell the police that the murderer is here."

Nie Wu retorted, "You have no evidence. Even if you hand me over to the garrison, they can't do anything to me!"

"Don't forget, I have the Witch Saint Cult behind me!"

Raising her hand to grab the chains binding Xuan Jing, Wu Zhao glanced indifferently at Nie Wu: "I know, aren't you all relying on that evil spirit that you stuffed into Feng Boxue's body?"

"If he dares to show his face in front of me, I'll kick him right out of that body."

She pointed to Wu Yuanhan on the ground, "This person is from the Wu family, right? Take him back with you."

"Brother Yuanhan?!" Wu Shiyu was surprised to see the person lying motionless on the ground. "How...how is it you?!"

Wu Yuanhan is my fourth uncle's cousin!

Although he was an illegitimate child whose mother was unknown, he still grew up in the Wu family from a young age!

"..." Wu Yuanhan didn't say anything, but just glared fiercely at Wu Zhao.

Before she could ask anything, Wu Zhao had already turned and walked down the mountain.

Wu Shiyu quickly grabbed Wu Yuanhan and Nie Wu, and followed Wu Zhao with her.

"Ancestor, nothing happened just now, right?"

She glanced cautiously at Wu Zhao's expression but found nothing amiss.

"What could it be?" Wu Zhao's tone was calm, as if the anger from before had vanished. "It's just that we caught someone who almost wiped out the Wu family."

What?! Wu Shiyu's shocked gaze fell on Xuan Jing.

Unable to speak, Xuan Jing's eyes were fixed on Wu Zhao, his gaze seemingly filled with a thousand emotions.

"Is it...is it this person?"

Wu Shiyu could hardly believe it.

She hadn't spent much time with this man named Xuanjing, but she found it hard to believe that this seemingly gentle and refined man possessed such immense power.

But she didn't sense any strong spiritual energy fluctuations from Xuan Jing...?

“Some people want to destroy a family without lifting a finger,” Wu Zhao said, noticing Wu Shiyu’s confusion. “After all, this one… was once an emperor.”

Hiss. Wu Shiyu gasped.

Emperor, emperor?

"Go find the guards at the entrance. Leave this member of the Wu family here. Just hand Nie Wu over to them, and the rest... let them handle it themselves."

"Hurry up and get everyone out of the doorway."

Wu Zhao raised his hand and pulled Wu Yuanhan in front of him, leading him and Xuan Jing into the house.

Wu Shiyu obediently pulled the somewhat uncooperative Nie Wu toward the door.

"Wu Shiyu, why is it always you who gets good luck?" Nie Wu suddenly realized she could speak, her voice a little hoarse.

“I don’t know what you mean by good luck, but Nie Wu… you could have been like me.” Wu Shiyu said, “With the protection of the Nie family, what can’t you get? Why are you so fixated on those illusory feelings of love, only to end up with nothing?”

They were even abandoned by their families.

Wu Shiyu held back from saying it.

She looked at Nie Wu with a hint of pity in her eyes. Just as she reached the door, she saw Gu Jiaxi leaning against the car door, drinking hot coffee.

Gu Jiaxi was somewhat taken aback to see Wu Shiyu so late at night.

"Young Master Wu, why are you out here?"

Wu Shiyu handed Nie Wu back to him, saying, "This person is the murderer."

She pointed to the spot where Xiao Yu died and said, "She's the one who killed Xiao Yu. Go and investigate. And if you find anything, quickly get rid of all the people surrounding our Wu family."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiaxi waved to the team members beside her.

"Young Master Wu... I haven't had a chance to thank you for what happened before." After Nie Wu was taken away, Gu Jiaxi walked up to her.

"I didn't properly thank the gentleman who led us out earlier."

Wu Shiyu frowned. "Thank him when you have the chance."

“…Okay.” Gu Jiaxi was at a loss for words and could only watch as Wu Shiyu turned and left.

The team members behind him couldn't help but laugh at him: "Captain, you're being a bit clumsy."

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense." Gu Jiaxi rolled her eyes and snatched a lollipop from his hand.

Inside the villa, Wu Zhao threw Xuan Jing and Wu Yuanhan together in front of Wu Shixu.

Upon seeing Wu Yuanhan, Wu Shixu's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"I never expected it to be you." There was a hint of disappointment in his voice. "Yuanhan, you actually betrayed the Wu family."

Wu Yuanhan chuckled: "I've never considered myself a member of the Wu family, so what betrayal are you talking about?"

“You grew up in the Wu family, you ate the Wu family’s food and lived in the Wu family’s house. If you’re not a member of the Wu family, then what kind of person are you?” Wu Liufeng looked at him indifferently, his voice filled with impolite accusation.

"Just because I'm given food, does that mean I have to be grateful to the Wu family?!" Wu Yuanhan's voice was hoarse. "Every day in the Wu family's hands is torture!"

"I am an illegitimate child, and no one in the Wu family will ever see me. Is it my choice to be an ordinary person without any talent?"

"I wish I had never lived in the Wu family!"

Lacking exceptional talent and burdened by his awkward social status, Wu Yuanhan was a marginalized figure in the Wu family. Because he wasn't valued, he had virtually no presence within the family.

"Your fourth aunt even treats you like her own child, how could you have such thoughts?" Wu Yuanhan shook his head in disappointment. "If you weren't in the Wu family, you would have died outside long ago."

Wu Yuanhan's resentment and dissatisfaction seemed utterly ridiculous to Wu Liufeng.

"Let's deal with it according to the family rules." Wu Zhao didn't want to listen to his complaints, so she grabbed Xuan Jing and headed towards the ancestral hall.

"Ancestor, what are you doing—"

Wu Zhao's cold voice rang out: "This man, I want him to kneel in the ancestral hall and apologize to the entire Wu family!"

"Everyone, don't follow me!"

This is a feud between the Wu family and the Eastern Xuan Emperor three thousand years ago.

It is naturally up to her to end all of this!
