Chapter 1607 Sister, You’ve Fallen in Love!
“Young Master Lingyun, please stop!”
The two guards at the door blocked Gu Lingyun.
Gu Lingyun angrily rebuked, “Scram! I’m going to see my attendant, open the door quickly! If you don’t, I’ll kill you!”
“Young Master Lingyun, please don’t make it difficult for us. Family rules state that no one can enter the dungeon without the patriarch’s order, including you.”
These two guards were not ordinary guards; they were from the Gu family’s Imperial Guards. They only obeyed the patriarch’s commands and were usually arrogant. It was rare to see them begging.
If it were before, they would never have shown such an expression to Gu Lingyun, as Gu Lingyun only ranked seventh.
But at the latest family meeting, Gu Lingyun achieved first place, and he broke through to the Martial Emperor realm, advancing by leaps and bounds to become the Gu family’s most talented prodigy, with a high possibility of becoming the family heir.
“Get out of the way, or don’t blame me for taking action. I’m telling you, with my current cultivation, you two are no match for me.”
Gu Lingyun was very assertive!
“Young Master Lingyun, if you insist on taking action, then we will have to offend you. However, before you act, you should consider if the patriarch will blame you,” the guard said in a deep voice.
This immediately put Gu Lingyun in a difficult position.
Gu Lingyun had suppressed many prodigies to secure the first rank, and moreover, Chen Xuan had offended so many people in the spirit pool earlier, with all the blame falling on him.
If anything happened to him, others would definitely seize the opportunity to attack him.
However, when he thought about how Chen Xuan had single-handedly resisted the peerless celestial demon for his safety, he felt that nothing else mattered. “I’m telling you, even if the ranking is canceled today, I’m still going in.”
As he spoke, Gu Lingyun’s aura surged!
His terrifying aura suppressed all directions.
At this moment, Gu Lingyun’s cultivation had actually improved again.
Fourth-grade Martial Emperor realm!
Gu Lingyun had shone brightly at the family meeting, and the family had rewarded him with a pill. Unexpectedly, after consuming the pill, Gu Lingyun had broken through again.
Isn’t that infuriating?
The oppressive aura put immense pressure on the two guards, making their breathing rapid.
They never expected Gu Lingyun’s strength to become so formidable.
“Are you going to move or not?”
“No… no!”
“Then don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Just as Gu Lingyun was about to act, a sharp shout suddenly rang out, “Stop!”
A graceful figure flashed past.
It was none other than Gu Lingyun’s sister, Gu Yulong.
“Sister, you’ve come at the right time! Let’s join forces to rescue Chen Xuan!” Gu Lingyun immediately said.
“Don’t be rude!”
Gu Yulong reprimanded him.
“Ah? Sister, what do you mean by that?”
Gu Lingyun was slightly taken aback.
After Chen Xuan’s incident, Gu Yulong had been inquiring about Chen Xuan’s whereabouts non-stop, even personally leading people to search for him. Why was she saying this now?
However, he soon saw Gu Yulong winking at him, and he quickly shut his mouth.
“To the guards, I apologize. My younger brother is ignorant; I apologize on his behalf,” Gu Yulong quickly apologized.
The two guards also breathed a sigh of relief. Moreover, since Gu Yulong had apologized, they dared not make things difficult. “Miss Yulong, we are only following orders.”
“I understand. This is the patriarch’s authorization token, please take a look.”
Gu Yulong took out a piece of paper and handed it over.
“It’s really the patriarch’s handwriting.”
“And the patriarch’s seal.”
Although the guards were confused, seeing the patriarch’s authorization token, they could only let them pass. “Then you may enter.”
“Thank you both.”
Gu Yulong grabbed Gu Lingyun’s wrist and rushed into the dungeon.
As they walked further away, Gu Lingyun excitedly said, “Sister, you’re amazing! I can’t believe you got the patriarch to issue an authorization token. I begged the patriarch for so long, but he wouldn’t give me one.”
Gu Yulong rolled her eyes and whispered, “What authorization token? There isn’t one.”
“Then what was that just now?”
“I forged it myself.”
“Ah?”
Gu Lingyun’s eyes widened. He never expected his sister to be so daring.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Gu Yulong couldn’t help but ask.
“Sister, you’ve fallen in love!”
Gu Lingyun pondered for a moment and slowly uttered a few words.
“What fallen in love? What nonsense are you talking about?”
Gu Yulong’s face flushed.
Gu Lingyun chuckled, “Sister, you’ve never been so concerned about a man before. You’re not young anymore. A man can have multiple wives and concubines, so what are you afraid of? Only mediocre people are monogamous! If you think it’s acceptable, I can go to the Su family in the capital and have a good chat with the women of the Vermillion Bird lineage.”
“Scram, scram, scram! Stop talking nonsense and hurry to find Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan must not be in any danger.”
“Yes, I heard Gu Yongming wants to deal with Chen Xuan. I hope we’re not too late.”
Soon, they arrived at the dungeon. Upon seeing Chen Xuan being served by others, they realized they had worried for nothing.
With his strength, how could he possibly suffer?
“Why are you here?”
Chen Xuan saw the siblings Gu Lingyun and Gu Yulong and spoke with a guilty conscience.
However, when he thought that he hadn’t revealed anything, he felt much calmer.
“We heard that Gu Yongming wants to deal with you, so we came to check. It’s good that you’re alright,” Gu Lingyun said.
“I’m fine.”
Chen Xuan shrugged.
“I heard you were chased by a peerless celestial demon. Are you injured? I have medicine and rare treasures here.”
Gu Yulong opened her bag, which was filled with her treasures.
“Sister, you even took out your treasures?” Gu Lingyun said.
“Uh… thank you then…”
Chen Xuan did not expect Gu Yulong to be so kind to him and could not refuse, so he accepted.
Actually, he didn’t want them. After all, these so-called treasures were incomparable to what Qin Qianqian had given him.
“Chen Xuan, we heard that the Gu family has decided to execute you. We’ve discussed it and decided to find a way to rescue you tomorrow night and help you escape from here,” Gu Yulong whispered.
Chen Xuan’s eyes widened, “Execute me? For what reason? I haven’t done anything!”
“I don’t know. It’s the family’s decision. It seems to be related to the Son of Destiny. They say you are the nemesis of our Gu family, and only by killing you can the Gu family’s destiny be resolved,” Gu Yulong said.
Chen Xuan calculated with his fingers, and his face instantly turned green.
To be honest, his destiny and the Gu family’s destiny were indeed naturally antagonistic, and his destiny was even stronger than the Gu family’s destiny. Therefore, the Gu family would suffer greatly because of him.
Indeed, this was not Chen Xuan’s first time at the Gu family; the Gu family’s spirit pool was already ruined.
He blinked and said seriously, “That’s utter nonsense! Where did such a saying come from?”
“We think so too, but the family simply won’t listen to us. Let’s stop talking nonsense. We’ll rescue you together tomorrow at dawn. Be prepared.”
“Okay!”
Chen Xuan readily agreed.
Then, Gu Yulong and Gu Lingyun quickly left.
At this moment, Wang Er, who was standing nearby, flashed a cold glint in his eyes.
Chen Xuan and the others had spoken softly, but Wang Er had still heard them. He knew his opportunity had arrived, so he quietly passed the news through the guards to Gu Yongming.
