Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

"What do you need Lan Yao for?" Gu Chen asked as they entered the house.

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "I have a connection with you as my subordinate."

Wu Zhao sensed the familiar aura of someone from three thousand years ago emanating from this woman named Lan Yao.

Thinking of the person who had always followed her and ultimately died for her, a trace of nostalgia appeared in Wu Zhao's eyes.

Unexpectedly, three thousand years later, she would still encounter her former maid.

I never expected that Gu Chen would encounter this maid.

“Alright, then I’ll have Hongyao come back too. I’ll feel more at ease knowing you have someone with you.” Gu Chen didn’t ask any more questions, but simply said, “If anyone asks you to meet in the capital these next few days, bring Hongyao and Lanyao with you.”

Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow in surprise: "I thought you would tell me to stay home and not go out."

Gu Chen curled his lips into a smile, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

“I know you won’t just wait passively forever, so I can only support every decision you make.”

"Then you really do know me well now." Wu Zhao laughed as well.

Although the purple energy of Gu Chen and Ye Linyan was still fighting within her body, her meridians had been repaired considerably.

The best way to calm the chaotic blood and qi within the body is to consume this purple qi.

The person who lured her to the capital and then tried to trap her won't just wait like this.

Ning Zhiyuan escaped with the Japanese soldiers, most likely to go find the person behind them.

The "Brother Ning" that Shen Jiaojiao mentioned earlier is very likely Ning Zhiyuan.

Thinking of all this, Wu Zhao looked at the somewhat empty room: "Where is Huo Weiwei?"

"Didn't you ask her to do something for you? She shouldn't be back yet," Gu Chen replied. "Ting Chen hasn't come back either."

Huo Tingchen was worried about Ye Linyan, so he stayed in the banquet hall until the security personnel arrived.

Wu Zhao took out his rarely used phone and, somewhat awkwardly, found Huo Weiwei's name in his contacts.

Call.

The call was answered quickly, and Huo Weiwei said excitedly in a low voice, "Grandma, I'm with Wu Xingyun. I've confirmed it, Shen Jiaojiao is really in the capital!"

"Where are you?" Wu Zhao could hear some noise on her end, and her voice was very soft.

Huo Weiwei replied, "I used to be on very good terms with Shen Jiaojiao, but I was quite popular in her fan group. I asked the big fans in the group and got Shen Jiaojiao's schedule."

"She has a fan meeting in Beijing this month, and she's currently setting up the venue and rehearsing!"

This girl actually managed to sneak into the scene?

"It was all Wu Xingyun's idea. We pretended to be movers and came in. But we didn't see Shen Jiaojiao, only her assistant."

After listening to Huo Weiwei's words, Wu Zhao thought for a moment and said, "If you didn't see her, that's fine. Just be careful. Send me the address and leave as soon as possible."

As long as we can confirm that Shen Jiaojiao is in the capital, that's fine.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Zhao looked at Gu Chen: "Shen Jiaojiao has arrived in the capital. I need to find her."

Find Shen Jiaojiao and destroy the evil statue in her hands!

“I’ll help you.” Gu Chen nodded to Zi Yao.

Ziyao responded and left.

Jin Yao and Lan Yao were just passing by when Zi Yao couldn't help but remind him, "Jin Yao, know your place."

Looking at Jin Yao's face, Wu Zhao asked with some doubt, "Have you been to the cemetery these past two days?"

Jin Yao, who was about to retort, was taken aback: "...How did you know?"

"You woke up someone's sleeping spirit and brought it all back." Wu Zhao sighed, "This is what happens when you're not watching where you're going at night. Have you been dreaming about someone stepping on your face these past few nights?"

Looking at the faint footprints on his face, Wu Zhao felt like laughing.

Lan Yao asked with some concern, "What were you doing at the cemetery? What happened? Why didn't you tell me?"

"It's just a few nights of nightmares, what could possibly happen..." Jin Yao muttered, "Don't think that just because you guessed my nightmares, I'll look at you in a new light—"

"Jin Yao!" Lan Yao's expression turned serious as he said, "Do you know what you're saying? Hurry up and apologize to this young lady!"

Wu Zhao waved his hand: "Since you put it that way, then I'm not going to bother with you anymore. In that case, I'll let you suffer a bit."

Lan Yao, who had originally wanted to say something, suddenly couldn't continue.

For some reason, she always felt that she should know the person in front of her very well. When she said she didn't care anymore, she really meant it.

But then she said it was just a little hardship, which relieved Lan Yao's tense mood.

What a strange feeling...

"I don't believe you," Jin Yao said softly.

Seeing that Wu Zhao's expression did not change, Gu Chen said, "Lan Yao, from now on you will follow Zhao Zhao. Hong Yao will be back soon, and you will all be together then."

“…Yes, Patriarch,” Lan Yao replied, bowing his head.

Jin Yao wanted to say something, but was silenced after being nudged by Lan Yao's elbow.

"I'm going out now," Wu Zhao said, seeing the address Huo Weiwei had sent him on his phone.

Lan Yao saw the contents of her phone and said, "Then I'll go get the car."

Watching Wu Zhao and Lan Yao leave together, Jin Yao looked at Gu Chen with some hesitation.

"Patriarch, why do you treat this Wu Zhao...?"

Gu Chen turned his gaze away from the empty doorway and, for the first time ever, answered Jin Yao's question.

"Because I've been waiting for her."

……

Lan Yao is a very steady driver, but he seems a little distracted right now.

Because she could feel the somewhat nostalgic look in Wu Zhao's eyes as he looked from the back seat.

"...Where am I? Have I seen you before?" After holding back for a while, Lan Yao asked.

Wu Zhao laughed and said, "Perhaps we knew each other in a past life!"

She spoke casually, seemingly just joking.

Lan Yao originally wanted to smile, but after meeting those eyes in the rearview mirror, he inexplicably felt a sense of sadness.

The atmosphere inside the car suddenly became somewhat silent.

Fortunately, they arrived at their destination in no time. After getting out of the car, Wu Zhao suddenly heard Lan Yao say, "I also think we must have known each other in our past lives."

Wu Zhao paused, and a faint smile appeared on his tightly pursed lips.

They arrived at just the right time.

As soon as Wu Zhao reached the entrance of the tall building, he felt the pain brought by the familiar aura of curse.

She clearly spotted Shen Jiaojiao among the crowd holding various banners and signs.

The person accompanying her was also an acquaintance.

Film Emperor Luo Jing.

Shen Jiaojiao was holding his arm and waving to the fans.

Seeing the pinkish aura emanating from Luo Jing, Wu Zhao frowned.

Something feels familiar... It's Peach Fairy's aura!

"Tao Xian, she, he's here?!"
