"Could it be someone from the Lin Family?" Gu Lili analyzed, "Perhaps Lin Yueer was already aware of her connection with the Lin Family when she planned to have the Huiling Sword stolen. The common folks are not trustworthy enough for her; after all, we’re not talking about an ordinary object. She also fears that I might reclaim the sword, which would make it even harder for her to get close and kill me. Usually, the only people who wouldn’t divulge secrets, apart from family and friends, are the dead, like that nurse who was silenced."
Long Yubei thought it was not impossible when hearing her say that, considering that the Three Divine Mothers knew about Lin Yueer’s reincarnation in the mortal world, so it was not unlikely that they informed her.
"Then I’ll personally visit the Lin Family later to check if it’s there. One look and we’ll know."
He naturally would go as his true self, Long Chan, and thus could not take Gu Lili with him. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel★fire.net
But Long Yubei didn’t want to risk even the slightest mistake. Not only did he leave the Jiuquan Sword behind, but he also summoned Su Changzhi from the underworld to protect Gu Lili.
The dignified Ninth Prince of the underworld, suddenly turned into a bodyguard.
But he was actually quite willing.
"Taken away by Long Chan’s mother."
Su Changzhi lay sideways on the sofa, propping his arm under his head, his gaze fell on the figure practicing yoga, "Have you been having a good time recently?"
"How are your kidneys?" he enunciated, "It seems quite harmonious."
Gu Lili’s cheeks flushed, "I said ’very good’!"
"Seems I misinterpreted..." he remarked.
She stood up from the yoga mat, took the Jiuquan Sword, and sat opposite him, "Care for a drink?"
"No, drinking leads to impulsiveness."
He lay down next to Long Yubei’s body on the bed, keeping a farther distance from the sword.
Gu Lili poured herself half a glass and sat cross-legged on the sofa, sipping lightly.
"Looking at you , you really do resemble a rouwan."
"I don’t understand why you didn’t tell me I looked like a rouwan before. It’s always hindsight with you, just like Zhuge Liang after the fact."
Su Changzhi expressed no opinion on her words, "Before knowing the truth, who would have thought? But now, it does seem you resemble one when you eat or drink. Back then, you would often sneak into my residence to eat, who would have thought it was you?"
As Su Changzhi finished speaking, he suddenly sat up, his gaze turned sharp.
The previously empty bedroom suddenly filled with more than a dozen people.
The leader was none other than the Three Divine Mothers.
Gu Lili instinctively gripped the Jiuquan Sword and rose to her feet, her hand reaching into her pocket to press the number 1 on her phone, calling Long Yubei.
"I wonder, Divine Mother, what brings you and your entourage here at this time?" Su Changzhi summoned his strength to stand in front of Gu Lili.
"What is Ninth Prince doing here?"
"Do I need a reason to visit my brother?"
"It seems Miss Gu is indeed well-protected by the Seventh Prince, so much that in his absence, you need to come to her aid. Just a human woman, yet given such importance, quite the vanity!"
"What concern is it of yours?" Su Changzhi responded with a cold smile, "What brings you here?"
"What brings me here? My daughter has been murdered, what do you think I’m here for? Of course, it’s to avenge her."
"She deserved to die!" Su Changzhi’s voice shot through the Divine Mother’s heart like an arrow, "She should have been executed on the spot that night in front of my father, having used a Magic Artifact against me without permission. My father merely went easy on her out of consideration for the relations between our families. You speak of vengeance? And she confessed that she had killed Lili herself; finding her own death, she can’t blame others!"
