Yunbao placed the energy in Lily’s body and carefully felt the changes in her body. After half an hour, she opened her eyes and said, “Lilys body is recovering very well. I still have Devon’s energy in my crystal ball. As long as Lily absorbs this energy, she can accept Devon’s lifespan transformation.” Hearing Yunbao’s words, Cheng Xi finally heaved a sigh of relief. In her opinion, the sooner she saved Lily, the better. As long as Devon was alive, it was easy for something to go wrong.
Only by completing this matter quickly could she be at ease. Otherwise, she would feel uneasy day and night.
Lily asked, “Will he die, then?”
It wasn’t that Lily was worried about this father. Devon was usually abusive to Lily. She had long since stopped thinking of Devon as her father. She just felt that it was a little unacceptable for her to have to trade another person’s life for her life.
Yunbao shook her head. “He won’t die. He only used his lifespan to replenish your body, but it’s very likely that he will die early. After all, he definitely doesn’t have much lifespan left.”
“That’s good,” Lily said with a smile. “As long as he doesn’t die immediately.”
The two children discussed when Devon would die in a matter-of-fact manner. It sounded like they were playing house.
At this moment, a large group of foreign wizards landed at the capital airport. They were all dressed in black and were especially eye-catching.
After the wizards walked out of the airport and got into the car, they said, “To the Gu family’s mansion.”
Gu Lin received a call from the airport and frowned. “There are many foreign wizards at the capital airport. I wonder what they are here for.”
Cheng Xi was extremely nervous. “I remember that Devon has many friends in
Country Y. They’re all sorcerers and they’re a group.”
Hearing this, Gu Yu frowned. “l remember that foreign sorcerers have four societies. Which one is Devon in?”
Cheng Xi couldn’t remember these things either. Devon rarely mentioned these things in front of her, but she still said based on her memory, “They all wear the same necklace with the letters Sl on it.’
Gu Yu shook her head. “The four foreign wizard societies don’t have this acronym. It seems that this is a group that the wizarding world doesn’t recognize.
Hearing Gu Yu say this, Cheng Xi became a little nervous and asked, “Then are they here to save Devon?”
Gu Peng quickly went over to calm her anxious mood. Gu Yu sneered and said, “Who do they think they are? How dare they come and save Devon? Devon was arrested by the country. We didn’t frame him for hijacking a plane. It’s useless for these people to say anything.”
Gu Teng also said, “No matter how powerful a sorcerer is, they have to listen to the country. Even if they are sorcerers, they can’t take Devon away.”
With these words, Cheng Xi calmed down. Now that she had finally caught Devon and could save Lily, if anything went wrong again, she would really not be able to take it.
Unexpectedly, more than ten minutes later, someone knocked on the door of the Gu residence.
The servant quickly came over and reported, “A group of foreigners wants to see Miss Cheng Xi.”
Cheng Xi’s entire body tensed up. Gu Peng said, “Is Miss Cheng someone they can meet just because they want to? Tell them that the Gu family is not seeing guests today.”
The servant quickly went out to pass the message. Gu Lin said with a solemn expression, “They actually found us. It seems like they want to start with Cheng Xi.”
“Why are they looking for me?” Cheng Xi was a little confused. “l can’t let Devon out.”
Gu Tang thought of a possibility and said, “But you can come forward and prove that Devon is mentally unstable. That will minimize his guilt.”
This was indeed a way to take advantage of loopholes. If Cheng Xi stepped forward to testify, it would be very credible. After all, her divorce had caused an uproar. No one would think that she was speaking up for Devon. No wonder those sorcerers wanted to see Cheng Xia
Cheng Xi said firmly, “l definitely won’t testify and say such things. If it weren’t for Lily, I would have wanted him to die now.”
Gu Teng said, “Let’s ignore those wizards. They won’t delay anything outside the door.’
As soon as he finished speaking, the door emitted a golden light and enveloped the entire house. Gu Lin explained, “Someone wanted to barge in. The protective array set up under the house was activated.”
The three aristocratic families all had the habit of inviting sorcerers. The Gu family did not continue to invite them because of Gu Teng and Gu Yu. However, the protective array had been set up by a master and had been perfected by Song Yun.
As long as a wizard wanted to barge in, they would be triggered to protect the entire residence. No matter how they attacked, they could not shake it..
