And this sudden action made his originally warm body suddenly stiffen, following that, Gu Ling Shu's originally blaming tone became joyous.

"Sister." As the joyous voice entered Gu Ling Xue's ears, she slowly let go of Gu Ling Xue and looked him in the eye.

"Yeah, I'm fine." This was the first time she had ever said such words in a soothing voice. There was not a trace of coldness or hostility in her voice. This made the bottom of Gu Ling Shu's heart burst with joy.

"Then are you tired? Rest well." After saying that, Gu Ling Shu quickly brought Gu Ling Xue into the room and placed him on the soft couch. Then, he scratched his head and said, "Look at my memory, I woke you up."

"Then, then are you hungry? I'll go prepare some food for you." Gu Ling Shu looked at Gu Ling Xue fawningly, as if she was a child begging for candy.

Gu Ling Xue couldn't help but chuckle softly. She didn't realize before that his steady brother had such a cute side to him.

Gu Ling Xue pretended to be serious and replied: "En, very hungry."

"Alright, wait a moment." With that said, Gu Ling Shu rushed out of the room and headed towards the small kitchen, but halfway through, he turned and headed back to his own courtyard.

Hearing that, the smile on Gu Ling Xue's face became even wider.

It had been such a good thing to find out that she had a brother.

Helplessly shaking his head, Gu Ling Xue changed into a suitable position to lie on the soft couch and closed his eyes, waiting for Gu Ling Shu to bring food over.

However, Gu Ling Shu did not wait for him to come. Instead, he waited for the biggest trouble in the residence — — Head of the Gu Family.

"Ling Xue, where have you been recently?"

After standing in the room for a while, Gu Ling Xue still did not open her eyes. Head of the Gu Family could only ask ahead of time, since Gu Ling Xue's identity was no longer as a wastrel like before.

"Yes!" However, even though Head of the Gu Family had given in, the inside of the house was still quiet.

Gu Ling Hua, who came with Head of the Gu Family to watch the show, saw that Gu Ling Xue did not know how to behave, and could not help but be angered in his heart.

"Sister, Father is asking you a question!"

The hoarse voice was accompanied by the extremely high decibels, causing Gu Ling Hua's voice to sound extremely like a duck in a river, causing the surrounding servants to secretly snicker.

Gu Ling Hua also noticed the difference in her voice, and was extremely vexed and angry that she could not control her own mouth.

If not for Gu Ling Xue, how could she have become like this.

"Something's making a ruckus." Frowning impatiently, Gu Ling Xue then opened her eyes leisurely as she looked towards the two people beside him with disdain.

After a moment, as if suddenly enlightened, his eyebrows relaxed and he said, "Father and Sister, I'm so sorry. I didn't hear you two come even when I was asleep."

Gu Ling Hua could not help but snort lightly.

If you can't even recognize the sound of footsteps, then your martial arts are only mediocre.

"Ling Xue, I don't care where you went earlier, I came here to tell you." Head of the Gu Family cleared his throat and said in a serious tone, "Half a month ago, Lin Family sent an invitation to attend Young Master Lin Family's wedding. For our Gu Family's sake, you must go. "

Then, a piece of paper with the word "Invite" written on it was thrown onto the table in front of Gu Ling Xue.

A wedding?

With a cold laugh, Gu Ling Xue felt that it was extremely funny.

This is really a childish game. You want to embarrass me? Did he think I would cry over his remarriage?

Gu Ling Xue could not help but chuckle softly as she slowly stood up and said: "I'll go."

With just two short words, Head of the Gu Family's gloomy face immediately improved.

He knew that no matter how capable Gu Ling Xue was, she would not dare to disobey him.

"Then rest well." Head of the Gu Family heard a satisfactory reply and was not willing to stay any longer. He immediately turned around and left.

When the Head of the Gu Family left, Gu Ling Hua still stood at his original position.

Gu Ling Xue turned around and sat in front of the table. Holding the teacup on the table, she signaled Gu Ling Hua: "What, you want to drink a cup?"

"Gu Ling Xue, you are too shameless." Gu Ling Hua saw that Gu Ling Xue looked indifferent, and the disdain in her eyes became clear.

Ever since Gu Ling Xue had openly poisoned her last time, the relationship between the two of them was no longer as hypocritical as it was before.

"Oh? What is shame? " As his eyes moved, Gu Ling Xue looked straight at Gu Ling Hua, his gaze filled with ridicule.

This woman didn't seem to have given enough of a lesson.

"You …" He raised his right hand and pointed at Gu Ling Xue, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by the girl who barged in.

"Miss, Master wants you to go back to your room." Her trembling voice resonated inside Gu Ling Xue's hut. Although her voice was soft, it instantly made Gu Ling Hua's face flush red.

"Got it, I'll be back in a while." He glanced at the trembling servant beside him and indicated for him to leave first. However, the servants still did not leave.

"Master said not to let you disturb Second Miss. "Still talking." The already low voice became even softer.

"Say what?" Gu Ling Xue saw that Gu Ling Hua's mood was very good, but seeing that the servants did not have the guts to continue, she gave her courage, and indicated for her to continue.

"He also said that if young miss comes again to disturb the Second Miss during this period of time, you will be grounded." After repeating the exact words of Head of the Gu Family in one breath, the servant suddenly kneeled onto the ground, afraid that Gu Ling Hua would vent her anger on her.

"What?" The originally hoarse voice that was accompanied by the trace of viciousness sounded even more unpleasant to hear.

Gu Ling Xue frowned, she then moved to a more comfortable position and sat in front of Gu Ling Hua, after that, with a look of schadenfreude, she raised her teacup and drank it all, and asked: "Elder sister, are you still drinking?"

Trembling in anger at Gu Ling Xue's provocation, Gu Ling Hua clenched her fists tightly. Then, as if she had thought of something, a sinister smile swept across her originally gloomy face.

"Gu Ling Xue, you won't be able to be arrogant for long!"

With that said, Gu Ling Hua turned and left, leaving the confused Gu Ling Xue behind.

Helplessly shrugging his shoulders, Gu Ling Xue did not take it to heart.

He didn't care. He would just have to deal with whatever came his way.

But this time in the Lin Family, he would definitely not pass by calmly. It was time to strengthen her long-wasted power.

Staring into the distance, a familiar thought flashed across his mind.

Perhaps, only the abundant spiritual energy of that place is suitable for my cultivation.

Without any hesitation, Gu Ling Xue immediately disappeared from her original position.

Dark Tower's territory had always been a place where Gu Ling Xue had an abundance of spiritual energy other than Rakasha's ring s. Thus, during this training session, Gu Ling Xue came here without hesitation.

Other than that, she could also take care of the matters of the Dark Tower at a close distance, so she could be more intimate with the Dark Tower's hidden guards.

They wouldn't be able to tell if someone pretended to be her master or not.

In the Dark Tower, facilities were already in place, and it was Gu Ling Xue's first time looking carefully at this place that belonged to her.

She never thought that Ye Ji, who seemed to be a heartless man, would actually be so meticulous.

Entering the Dark Tower's room that was specially used for training, Gu Ling Xue sat inside with her legs crossed, with her hand in the shape of a lotus, he gradually entered into a state of cultivation.

Gu Ling Xue was satisfied and began to circulate her Qi, quickly entering into a meditative state.

She had to rely on just these short ten days to raise her summoning technique to the fourth stage.

After all, she was lagging behind everyone else without spirit energy, so if she wanted to avoid losing out at Lin Family's wedding, she had to be stronger.

Due to Gu Ling Xue's arrival, the Dark Tower's hidden guards were all being more cautious, afraid that their boss would kick them out if they were displeased.

Although they were originally Ye Ji's subordinates and didn't want to listen to Gu Ling Xue's orders, Gu Ling Xue had proven, one after the other, that if they followed her, they definitely wouldn't lose out.

Therefore, to them right now, fawning on their current master was even more important.

Everything seemed to be on the right track.

However, an undercurrent was slowly seeping in.

Everyone was doing their job as per normal, but a dart had disturbed Dark Tower's calm for a long time.

The Dark Tower was guarded by someone everyday, and there was always someone changing their guard. It was reasonable to say that they were heavily guarded.

However, on the tenth day after Gu Ling Xue went into closed door cultivation, a figure suddenly fell on the ground, and let out a clear groan.

The Dark Guard who were initially patrolling above Dark Tower immediately appeared beside the source of the sound the moment the voice was released.

What they saw on the other hand was a corpse that had long since turned ice-cold, and a dart with the word "Deities Templar" written on it.

"Should I report this to Master?"

One of the secret guards carefully examined the corpse, his stern eyes immediately glaring at the person he had just asked about.

"Master is in closed door cultivation, do not disturb her. Be on high alert and change your patrol team to two groups at a time. "

"Yes."

However, just as he finished speaking, an even denser number of darts flew in from outside the wall.

The leader of the guards couldn't sit still any longer.

He was actually bullying the door of his house, if he did not retaliate, the reputation of Dark Tower would disappear.

"Group one, group two is in charge of protecting the master. The rest, follow me!"

The sound of swords being drawn sounded out in the quiet environment of Dark Tower, blade light after sword light reflected on the walls, forming a strange scene.

The hundreds of years of peace in Dark Tower was suddenly shattered like this.

Instantly, the area outside the Dark Tower was filled with flashes of blades and flashes of blood, and sounds of fighting and killing filled the entire corners of the Dark Tower.

As for Gu Ling Xue, who was in the training room, she seemed to be isolated from the rest of the world, sitting in her meditative pose, slowly absorbing the last bit of spirit energy.

However, Gu Ling Xue suddenly felt that in the Spirit Qi, it was not as pure as it used to be.

In the darkness, an abnormally bright pair of eyes suddenly opened, lighting up the tiny, pitch-black room.
