Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

If they had known, even if they were filled with disdain, they wouldn’t have spoken up in front of the Gu family head!

It’s over. The Gu family head won’t kill them, will he?

“Ha!”

A cold laugh, like a gust of breeze, swept away the deathly pressure that hung over everyone’s heads.

As the pressure lifted, people felt a sense of relief and exhaled a sigh of relief.

Then they remembered the mocking laughter from just now…

It seemed to have come from Gu Qingluan.

Everyone looked at her with gratitude.

Gu Qingluan remained calm, her expression unchanged.

To dissipate the imposing pressure of the Gu family head so effortlessly – her strength must be remarkable!

People began to quietly discuss among themselves.

Gu Qingluan sat on her horse, towering over everyone, looking down at Gu Zhicheng. “What they said is true. Why must the Gu family head oppress everyone? Even if you can silence the neighbors’ gossip, can you control the opinions of the entire world?”

“Are you threatening me?” Gu Zhicheng glared at her with a cold shadow in his eyes.

“Brother, don’t waste time talking to her. You should just attack her!” Gu Zhixin couldn’t hold back anymore. This darn girl was clearly trying to tarnish the reputation of the Gu family.

Gu Zhicheng’s eyes darkened. “Gu Qingluan, yesterday you laid hands on your own kin. I didn’t blame you for that. 1 didn’t expect you to push your luck further. If I don’t teach you a lesson today, how can 1 justify it to the Gu family?”

Before he could finish his words, he disappeared from his position and reappeared directly in front of Gu Qingluan in the blink of an eye.

People cried out, “Watch out!”

Gu Qingluan’s lips curled into a grin. She clapped the reins, leaped from her horse, and launched a kick.

The movement was clean and precise, incredibly handsome.

Her white skirt blossomed in mid-air like a snow lotus, elegant and beautiful.

Gu Zhicheng’s eyes widened as if he had witnessed a specter. He sensed an overwhelming force bearing down on him. Before he could respond, a sudden, intense pain surged in his chest, causing his body to instinctively curve. He even heard what resembled the sound of bones fracturing beside his ears.

In the next moment, his body was propelled through the air, knocking over several Gu family members, soaring across the distance, and crashing into a white wall with a resounding thud.

Bang

“Alih!”

A scream cut through the air, followed by the dull thud of something heavy hitting the ground.

Everyone shivered and stared at the collapsed wall in disbelief.

Did the Gu family head just get thrown out?

Oh my goodness!

He was a Saint Realm expert!

And he was sent flying by a kick from First Lady Gu?

First Lady Gu was really something else!

Gu Qingluan gracefully returned to her horse, assuming a relaxed posture with her legs crossed. She idly toyed with the edge of her skirt using her delicate fingers, as if the recent battle was of little consequence.

She lazily lifted her eyes, and her cold black gaze swept over the faces of the Gu family members.

Anyone caught in her gaze couldn’t help but feel a chill down their spine.

“Who else wants to fight? All of you can come at me together!” Gu Qingluan raised a snow-white jade finger and beckoned playfully.

The Gu family members all stepped back.

Even the family head with Saint Realm strength was sent flying by her kick. What could they do by going up? Offer themselves as sacrifices?

At this moment, there was a commotion in the courtyard.

Gu Zhicheng crawled out from a pile of rubble.

Wang Shi and Gu Zhixin snapped back to reality and rushed over to him.

“Old Master, are you alright?”

“Elder brother, how are you?”

“Family head, are you okay?”

With the help of the others, Gu Zhicheng emerged, covered in dirt, his hair in disarray, clothes torn, and traces of blood at the corners of his mouth. He appeared thoroughly disheveled.

He was probably the first dignified Saint Realm expert to be beaten to such a state.

The spectators nearby were torn between wanting to laugh and feeling uncomfortable, appearing quite conflicted.

Serves him right!

He deserved to be beaten up for committing such a shameless act as taking away his daughter’s dowry.

“It’s unfortunate you weren’t incapacitated. Does the head of the Gu family want to continue this fight?”

Gu Qingluan leaned her chin on her hand, a playful smile in her eyes..
