Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Chapter 75 Unexpected Encounter with a Mortal Enemy

Teikyo International Airport.

Three discreet cars drove away from the airport's VIP passage.

In the middle of the car, Zi Yao, sitting in the passenger seat, turned her head and asked, "Patriarch, are we going back to the old mansion?"

“No, let’s go to the other courtyard.” Gu Chen thought for a moment, then looked at Wu Zhao: “The old house isn’t ready yet, so please make do with me in the other courtyard for now?”

Wu Zhao glanced at the scenery outside the car, then turned his head and said with some surprise, "I'm fine with anything, but you'd better not go near your old family home recently."

Zi Yao was startled and couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the patriarch is in danger if he goes to the old mansion?"

"No, it's not that. It'll just be a bit unlucky." Wu Zhao shook his head. "Your old house is probably in a situation where, in the absence of a tiger, a monkey reigns supreme. If you go back... it might offend your eyes."

Gu Chen's expression turned cold. He looked at the driver and asked, "Outsiders have entered the old house?"

"Ju Zi, what happened? Didn't you clear them out?" Zi Yao asked.

The man driving twitched his lips. "Can't you call me by my name properly?"

Then he replied, "Master, Second Master has moved into the side building of the old mansion with the old master's warrant. Your subordinate... has no choice."

Wu Zhao was a little curious about a man named Ju Zi (Orange), "Your subordinate... has a rather interesting name."

“His name is Ju Yao, one of the Twelve Guards.” Gu Chen’s cold gaze swept over the person looking at him. “I’ll let you meet the remaining Twelve Guards when I have the chance.”

"Juyao? That's a rather cute name," Wu Zhao thought, "but it doesn't quite suit this dark-faced giant."

Zi Yao chuckled mischievously and said, "Miss Wu, don't let Ju Zi's appearance fool you. He's the softest-hearted of the Twelve Guards. He likes to pick up stray cats and dogs and bring them home."

"His living space is almost overflowing with those little things."

The Twelve Guards were Gu Chen's personal bodyguards, usually working in pairs to take turns by his side. The twelve of them lived in a place specially prepared by the Gu family, and Zi Yao happened to be roommates with Ju Yao.

I've helped him take care of many stray animals for that reason.

"I can tell." Wu Zhao's voice carried a hint of amusement. "He's a kind and compassionate person."

There were still some small animal spirits around Ju Yao, obediently lying on his shoulder or snuggling against his arm.

She twirled the ring. "Doing good deeds will bring good fortune."

Ju Yao blushed slightly after hearing Wu Zhao's praise.

Fortunately, he was dark-skinned, so it wasn't very noticeable.

"You flatter me, it's just a small matter."

Wu Zhao was about to say something when Gu Chen, who was beside him, suddenly coughed.

His face also turned a little pale.

"what happened?"

Wu Zhao was somewhat surprised, and she moved closer to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen pressed his hand to his chest and said, "It's nothing, I just feel... a little stuffy."

"Feeling stuffy?" Wu Zhao asked, observing his expression. "Is it because you got caught in the rain earlier...?"

Zi Yao gave Ju Yao a color and said happily, "It should be. Jin Yao isn't waiting either. We'll have to trouble Miss Wu to take care of the head of the family later."

The car soon drove into a quiet suburb.

In the well-landscaped park, several uniquely designed villas are partially hidden.

"The environment here is quite nice." Wu Zhao looked at the scenery outside. "What's that...?"

The small building that flashed by gave Wu Zhao a very familiar feeling.

Ju Yao glanced at it and said, "That one? It belongs to the Ye family. They have a sickly seventh young master who lives here year-round."

"Oh?" Wu Zhao asked, somewhat puzzled.

She could see faint purple mist rising from there, indicating that the person living there must be someone with great fortune.

Although he cannot compare to Gu Chen of the Heavenly King Star, judging from the rising purple aura that vaguely transforms into the shape of a coiled dragon, his destiny is probably also extremely noble.

But... he is frail and sickly?

This fortune can reflect a person's physical condition. How could someone with such a vigorous and abundant purple aura be a sick person?

Gu Chen's villa is not far from the Ye family's small building.

After the car came to a stop, Wu Zhao got out to help Gu Chen get his wheelchair.

After Zi Yao opened the car door, she heard Gu Chen say in a low voice, "Let Qing Yao come back."

Bringing Qingyao back would be like exchanging her for Juyao...?

He replied, "Yes, Master."

Poor Juyao...

Wu Zhao pushed the wheelchair over. "I'm a little hungry. When can we eat?"

Huo Weiwei, who got out of the car behind, heard this and ran over to hug her arm, saying, "I know a really good private restaurant, do you want to try it?"

After Zi Yao helped Gu Chen into the wheelchair, Wu Zhao looked down and asked, "How are you feeling now? If you're not feeling well, then we can stop."

"I--"

Before Gu Chen could speak, a voice came from outside the courtyard and asked, "Excuse me, are you the head of the Gu family?"

"I am Mr. Ye's assistant. My husband would like to invite you to a small gathering."

leaf?

Wu Zhao sensed a familiar yet repulsive aura almost the instant the person appeared outside the door.

Shen Jiaojiao!

How could she be related to the Ye family of Dijing?

"I'm not familiar with Mr. Ye, am I?" Gu Chen tried to refuse with an indifferent expression, but Wu Zhao grabbed his hand.

She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Say yes!"

A glint of light flashed across Gu Chen's eyes before he said, "Alright, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Ye."

"Then, then I won't go..." Huo Weiwei was not familiar with the Ye family and did not want to eat with strangers.

She released Wu Zhao's arm with a hint of disappointment. "Next time, let's go eat at that private restaurant together."

Wu Zhao patted her head and said, "Um... I have a small favor I need your help with."

"What?" Huo Weiwei looked up in surprise. "I'm sure I can do it!"

Pulling her close, Wu Zhao whispered a few words in her ear.

Huo Weiwei's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I understand, I'll take care of it right away!"

Watching her run off happily, Wu Zhaocai said to Gu Chen, "Shall we go?"

The Ye family's assistant led them ahead, while Wu Zhao pushed Gu Chen's wheelchair slowly behind.

The closer I got to that small building, the clearer the feeling of déjà vu became.

The immense purple aura belonging to Gu Chen gradually condensed above his head into a giant purple dragon, roaring towards the dragon coiled above the small building.

At the same time, Gu Chen's expression grew increasingly gloomy.

The door on the second floor of the small building was pushed open, and a tall, slender figure walked out.

The man stood tall and elegant, his voice clear and pleasant: "Master Gu, it is an honor to have you grace my humble abode with your presence today."

"I never expected that Patriarch Gu would have such a beautiful female companion."

"Nice to meet you, I am Ye Linyan."

Wu Zhao looked up.

The woman was as beautiful as a flower and as lovely as jade, with long black hair wrapped in a green ribbon and draped over her shoulders.

A handsome man, as beautiful as a jade statue, was looking over with a gentle smile.

The man had a pair of very captivating dark green eyes.

When Wu Zhao saw him, his expression changed instantly.

That face, those eyes...

"Jun, Junwu?!"
