Today, the purpose of these people was just to abduct Ning Wanru.
They did not intend to kill the entire Gu Family.
Because they had not yet obtained what they wanted.
Moreover, if they really had killed someone, they would not have the great ability to manage the aftermath.
Of the nine men, two stayed behind to watch Gu Tianfeng and the others.
The remaining seven men dragged Gu Qingfeng and rapidly ran toward the gate.
They quickly disappeared around the gate’s corner.
Meanwhile, Gu Tianfeng and Lian Yuhong madly rushed toward Dongfang Yu.
Gu Qiaoqiao, frightened, hurriedly exclaimed, "Mom, Dad, don’t come over, I’m alright."
Gu Qiaoqiao knew that the man before her did not intend to kill her.
Otherwise, she would still feel his murderous intent.
But, she did not expect that it was still too late.
Seeing Dongfang Yu’s displeasure crease his brow, his empty left hand suddenly swung, releasing some white powder that spread through the air.
Soon after, Gu Tianfeng, Lian Yuhong, and Lady Yu collapsed softly to the ground.
Dongfang Yu’s hand still greedily clutched Gu Qiaoqiao, drawing warmth from her fingertips.
Gu Qiaoqiao bit her teeth hard, desperately struggling, "Let go of me!"
Regrettably, she realized that she had no ability to resist this man at all.
In this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao felt a surge of frustration.
No wonder they say there’s always someone better.
She had once thought she was the most superior being in this world.
Yet, there were those more formidable than her.
In his presence, she did not even have the room to resist.
Gu Qiaoqiao bit down hard on her lip, yet even as Dongfang Yu enjoyed the warmth, when he heard Gu Qiaoqiao’s reprimand, a man who naturally held himself above all ethereally could not continue to hold her.
Dongfang Yu slowly released his hand.
He adjusted his mink coat, tucking his hands into the sleeves.
Once free, Gu Qiaoqiao ran to Great Grandma and her parents.
Anxiously checking, relieved that they had only fainted and were not poisoned.
Gu Qiaoqiao coldly spoke, "Dongfang Yu, are you actually in league with Ning Wanru?"
Dongfang Yu, however, shook his head.
He then pointed at Lin Fanpeng, who had been standing not far away all along, "He and Ning Wanru are together; I am not."
Lin Fanpeng covertly rolled his eyes.
The Sect Leader betrayed others readily, and quite cheerfully at that.
Gu Qiaoqiao clenched her teeth and remained silent.
Without the mysterious figure emerging, she was unsure who that person might be.
Gu Qiaoqiao now realized she had nothing left in her hands.
But Gu Qiaoqiao believed that even if she had something, it would likely not work in front of Dongfang Yu.
Gu Qiaoqiao knew this man was no saint.
He truly was mysterious, and all of this had now been confirmed.
This man evidently had an interest in her hand.
Since his gaze often pensively lingered on her hand.
Gu Qiaoqiao clenched her hand, then placed it in her cotton jacket’s pocket.
She wouldn’t let Dongfang Yu see it again.
Dongfang Yu, unconcerned, smiled gently, his voice clear but soft, "For hundreds of years, there finally appeared someone like you, little girl. Come with me. I’ll teach you the Cultivation Technique, how to cultivate, how to live eternally, and to stand at the pinnacle of the world."
Gu Qiaoqiao glared fiercely at the man before her.
