Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Huo Weiwei and He Wen were college roommates because they shared similar interests and were both very nice people.

Therefore, the two have a very close relationship.

She had naturally seen the photos of He Wen's parents that she had carefully preserved and cherished.

He Wen cherished that photo and carried it with her at all times. She could see He Wen stroking the photo and staring blankly at it almost every day.

Huo Weiwei had a deep memory of those two perfectly matched faces.

So even though Yu Ying looked unwell, Wu Xingzhou still looked rather frightening.

However, Huo Weiwei immediately recognized the two people's identities.

They were He Wen's parents, who had been missing for many years!

Wu Xingyun was still clinging to Wu Zhao's leg, pretending to cry, when he heard Huo Weiwei's scream and turned his face away.

"What happened?"

Do they know each other?

Wu Zhao was somewhat puzzled. Her gaze swept over Yu Ying and then she saw Huo Weiwei looking at a few unfamiliar people to the side.

"what happened?"

Wei Wenxue and Hu Datian ran over, both surprised and delighted.

"Senior Sister Yu!"

Looking at their shocked and red eyes, Yu Ying was also somewhat incredulous.

"I...we, we're back?!"

"Sing Chau, Sing Chau, wake up...we're back!"

She hugged Wu Xingzhou tightly, both crying and laughing.

Hu Datian took the emaciated Wu Xingzhou from her hands, his voice trembling slightly.

"I'll carry it, I'll carry it."

"There are still empty beds inside, let's settle him in first?"

The thought of the professor and his family lying inside made Hu Datian's steps falter.

Wei Wenxue sniffed and agreed with what he said.

"Senior sister, the teacher and his wife... and Wenwen are all inside."

Wenwen?!

Yu Ying's breathing stopped.

Her lips trembled, and she seemed somewhat dazed.

Before Huo Weiwei could introduce herself to Wu Zhao, she quickly ran over to support the trembling Yu Ying.

"Wenwen is inside, Auntie, don't worry!"

"Let me help you inside!"

Zhao Lan also ran over and helped the other side.

The two women helped Yu Ying, whose legs were weak, into the house. Huo Weiwei even turned her head to look at Wu Zhao.

I'll explain it to you later.

Wu Zhao nodded, indicating that she should take good care of Yu Ying first.

Soon, a suppressed yet sorrowful sob came from inside the room.

Wu Zhao lowered her head, moved her legs with a hint of disgust, and rolled her eyes.

"Still not getting up?"

Wu Xingyun howled for a long time, but there were no tears left in his eyes.

He chuckled twice and quickly got up from the ground.

She huddled up to Wu Zhao and began to complain incessantly.

"Ancestor, you have no idea how miserable we've been these past few days!"

"This place is no place for a human to live! There are too many strange people in the village. If it weren't for the little birds and... uh, this gentleman, the way the villagers look at us, I would be like that little dessert."

Recalling the greedy gazes of Ye Zhao and the others, Wu Xingyun trembled with lingering fear.

Wu Zhao first looked at the four bodyguards who were bowing respectfully to him, and confirmed that they were all from the Huo family.

Then he turned his attention to Barbatos, who was watching the show from the side.

"Come out, what are you hiding?"

She said it casually.

After a while, a fluffy little bird's head popped out from behind Barbatos.

Perhaps it was too guilty, because the tuft of golden feathers on the bird's head had become somewhat dull and lifeless.

Phoenix carefully observed Wu Zhao's expression, then flew to her shoulder.

He rubbed his face against Wu Zhao's.

"Master, you're finally back!"

"I want to die!"

Hearing him try to get away with his cutesy act, Wu Zhao's smiling lips twitched slightly.

She raised her hand and pinched Phoenix's head.

"Is this why you casually used the Undying Flame to shatter space?"

Phoenix didn't dare to move at all, and tears quickly welled up in her beady eyes.

"Waaaah, I was worried about my master..."

"It really wasn't intentional! And look, Master, everything's fine now."

He blinked his eyes and spoke pitifully.

She glared at him angrily.

Wu Zhao sneered, "You're so simple-minded, your brain is the size of a walnut. You'd be helping someone count the money even if they sold you out, wouldn't you?"

She spoke meaningfully, while Barbatos looked up at the sky and then at the ground.

He acted as if it were none of his business.

Phoenix emerged from between Wu Zhao's fingers and landed on Wu Xingyun's hand.

"Have you not left here these past few days?"

After observing the surroundings of the courtyard, Wu Zhao suddenly felt that he couldn't quite remember the scenes of his time with Jun Wu.

As a result, all memories of Guyan Village have become somewhat blurred.

"This is... intervention from the Heavenly Dao?"

She pressed her brow, a flash of bloodshot light crossing her eyes.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Wu Xingyun asked in a low voice.

"Now that you're here, we should be able to leave this place, right?"

Barbatos clapped his hands, as if to congratulate him.

"Master is truly amazing. I wonder how he managed to find the scattered core of the formation."

He noticed the changes in the village's formation after Wu Zhao appeared, but he didn't expect Wu Zhao to seem a bit... strange?

"what?"

Wu Zhao looked up, somewhat puzzled.

What happened to her just now?

"Are you tired? Do you want to rest for a bit? I still have plenty of food here, why don't you eat something first?"

Wu Xingyun pointed to a pot placed next to the fire.

Inside was the same seafood porridge that had been cooked before, specially prepared for the few people who were unconscious in the room.

"Hmm...that works too."

Wu Zhao shook his head and clicked his tongue.

I think I'm a little hungry.

Wu Xingyun diligently found a disposable paper cup and poured out some seafood porridge.

What have you discovered these past few days?

Wu Zhao sat down and took the paper cup from Wu Xingyun's hand.

Feeling the slightly hot temperature on his fingertips, Wu Zhao's eyes showed a faint hint of doubt.

This heat... seems somewhat familiar...?

Phoenix tried to make amends by coming over.

"We got trapped here as soon as we entered the village. Those people are afraid of my barrier and dare not come in."

"However, they kept trying to lure us out. Oh, and the three humans who came with us inexplicably fainted."

Phoenix continued, adding, "It seems that the people the master just brought back are blood relatives of those who were unconscious."

Bringing people back?

That strange, familiar feeling returned, leaving Wu Zhao somewhat bewildered.

She looked down at the paper cup in her hand.

"Okay, I'll go check on them in a bit."

"The formation in this village has begun to dissipate; we should be able to leave soon."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xingyun couldn't help but beam with joy.

"That's wonderful! I haven't been eating or sleeping well these past few days, I've been living in fear!"

Seeing his rosy complexion and relaxed expression, Wu Zhao didn't feel that he was uncomfortable at all.

She prepared a lot of things for Wu Xingyun when she left.

Wu Zhao drank some hot porridge to tide her over, and then she stood up.

"I'll go check on the person who's unconscious."

Wu Xingyun followed behind her, just like a little follower as before.

"I'm with the ancestors, wait for me!"
