"Wu Shixu, are you insane?!"

"You actually consider someone of unknown origin to be a member of the Wu family?!"

Wu Ling sneered and pointed a finger at Wu Zhao.

"How does she resemble a member of the Wu family? Which member is she on the family tree?!"

Wu Shixu slapped his hand away and scolded, "Enough, Wu Ling, have you taken the wrong medicine today?!"

"Grandma, you go and rest first, I'll handle things here."

Wu Zhao's expression was indifferent; she merely glanced at Wu Ling's outstretched hand.

"If you don't want this hand, then so be it."

"Nar."

A voice came from the void: "Yes, Master."

A jet-black arrow appeared out of thin air and pierced through Wu Ling's arm, which was pointing at Wu Zhao, in an instant.

"Ahhh-"

A sharp, piercing pain shot through his arm, and Wu Ling cried out in alarm, nearly collapsing from the pain.

"Dad!" Wu Yuanhan was shocked and quickly helped him up.

The arrow was pitch black with a faint red glow, and its sharp tip was covered in flesh and blood.

"This, this is..."

Nana appeared behind Wu Zhao, holding a delicate little bow in her hand.

"Master, is it enough to just take his hand?"

With a hint of regret, she approached Wu Zhao from behind and affectionately reached out to stroke Wu Zhao's long hair that was flowing behind her.

His body was filled with demonic energy, making him look extremely sinister. Wu Ling looked at him with fear and panic.

"Big brother, you saw it too! She looks so sinister, does she have any semblance of being a member of the Wu family?" Wu Ling stared wide-eyed and gasped for breath.

Wu Yuanhan chimed in, "Uncle, you have no idea how terrifying she was in the back mountains of the Wu family. She actually—"

"Do you even have the right to speak here?" Nana smiled, narrowed her eyes, and raised her hand to slap Wu Yuanhan across the air.

With a bang, Wu Yuanhan was sent flying backward, crashing onto the floor.

"Yuanhan!" Wuling staggered two steps.

He clutched his arm, unable to check on Wu Yuanhan who had fallen.

"Grandma!" Wu Shixu cried out, stepping in front of Wu Ling. "Grandma, please don't..."

Seeing his protectiveness, Wu Zhao slowly turned around without changing his expression.

"He's indecisive; no wonder he couldn't bring his wife back."

After she finished speaking, she walked out.

Nana glanced at Wu Shixu, whose expression had suddenly changed, with disdain, and clicked her tongue twice.

“What the master said is absolutely right. You are nothing like the patriarchs of the Wu family in any way.”

"Could it be because the bloodline of the Wu family is becoming increasingly diluted?"

After he finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot, seemingly chasing after Wu Zhao.

Wu Shixu looked somewhat dejected, and he sighed.

“Wu Ling, for the sake of our kinship, I will protect your life today… but you must never appear in the Wu family again.”

His face was dejected. "The Wu family can't tolerate you. Take your families and leave the Wu family. I won't let outsiders know for the time being that you've already left the Wu family."

"Big brother, are you really going to kick your own brother out for the sake of an outsider?!" Wu Ling couldn't accept this.

He struggled to his feet, grabbing Wu Shixu's trouser leg: "What is she anyway? As long as that lord comes to the Wu family, the Wu family will naturally regain its glory!"

"Big brother, you have to believe me!"

what? !

Shock appeared in Wu Shixu's eyes.

"Wu Ling, what nonsense are you spouting?! How could the Wu family possibly allow strangers to help them!"

The conversation between the two inside the house was transmitted to Wu Zhao outside, word by word.

"Master, it seems someone really has designs on the Wu family. I wonder who this 'adult' Wu Ling mentioned is?"

Nana clung to Wu Zhao's back, looking very curious.

Wu Zhao turned the ring on his hand and said in a detached tone, "The Witch Saint Cult."

"It's probably that cult leader who hasn't shown up yet."

chuckled.

In fact, Wu Zhao was also very curious about who that cult leader was.

Not only could it sow discord among the Wu family members, but it also possessed a power aura that Wu Zhao was extremely familiar with.

"Master, should I follow Wuling?"

Seeing Wu Ling and Wu Yuanhan walking out of the villa, Nana asked them a question.

“No need.” Wu Zhao shook his head. “It seems they have found a new place to go. This Wu Shixu… although he is not decisive enough in his actions, he is very loyal to the Wu family.”

"It seems he still holds some place in the master's heart," Nana said with a smile. "Master, will the Church of the Witch Saint take these two people in?"

Wu Zhao remained noncommittal.

"Probably... they will bring people into the Wu family."

Wu Zhao touched the gemstone on the ring, feeling a slight warmth emanating from his fingertips.

"It seems it's time to go back and see Gu Chen."

Nana shuddered upon hearing the name.

"Then, I guess I won't go back yet, Master..." Nana asked cautiously, she had already developed a subconscious fear of Gu Chen.

The fact that Wu Zhao brought it up suddenly still terrified him.

“You should stay by Shiyu’s side,” Wu Zhao said. “Protect her, and also… keep an eye on Wu Shixu for me.”

Nana lowered her head and respectfully replied, "It would be my pleasure to serve you."

"Everything is in accordance with your will, my master."
