“Has the head of the Gu family forgotten? The three-day deadline is up,” Gu Qingluan reminded.
Gu Zhicheng snorted dismissively. “What three-day deadline?’
“It seems that with age, the head of the Gu family has become forgetful,” Gu
Qingluan chuckled lightly. “Su Lie, please remind him.”
Stepping forward, Su Lie spoke. “Head of the Gu family, today is the day you were supposed to vacate Jun Mansion. If you need assistance, my comrades can lend a hand.”
“This is the Gu family! Who are you to tell us to leave? We won’t budge!” Gu Zhicheng retorted, wearing an unyielding expression.
Anticipating their resistance, Gu Qingluan had exhausted her patience over the course of three days.
“Su Lie, take action,” she commanded firmly.
‘Yes!” Su Lie nodded and gestured, prompting dozens of subordinates to charge towards Rongde Hall.
“How dare you! Get out of here!” Gu Zhicheng saw the approaching figures and waved his sleeve in a dismissive manner.
A surge of profound power rippled outward, creating waves like the sea.
The henchmen leaped to avoid the force and swiftly vaulted over the courtyard gate, breaching the walls.
Observing Gu Qingluan audaciously sending people to invade the courtyard, Gu Zhicheng seethed with anger, his whiskers trembling. “You insolent girl! Since you insist on defying me, don’t expect me to show any familial mercy!”
He turned to the middle-aged man standing beside him and respectfully bowed. “Brother Li, I apologize for this situation. I ask for your help in dealing with this disobedient girl.”
Gu Qingluan had just noticed the presence of the middle-aged man by Gu Zhicheng’s side.
His eyes emanated a sharp yet restrained gaze, dressed in a simple black robe. His face exhibited determination, and a compelling aura surrounded him.
Surname Li… Could it be Li Tianhao, the current head of the Li family?
Recalling her memories, Gu Qingluan confirmed his identity as Li Tianhao.
She smiled softly. ‘This is a private dispute between the Gu and Jun families.
Head of the Li family, are you truly determined to intervene?”
Li Tianhao calmly regarded her. “The Gu and Li families have had a long-standing friendship, and you and I can be considered as uncle and niece. Allow me to advise you to show mercy when given the chance. The blood of the Gu family runs through your veins, an unchangeable fact. Despite any grudges or enmity, we are still family. Why create unnecessary hostility and provide outsiders with amusement?”
“Gu Qingluan died five years ago!” Gu Qingluan smiled coldly.
The people present did not understand what she meant and thought that she had been heartbroken back then.
“Is there no room for negotiation?” Li Tianhao asked.
“If the head of the Li family leaves now, I will still address you as Uncle Li when we meet in the future. Otherwise, we will be enemies!’ Gu Qingluan declared.
Li Tianhao let out a soft sigh. “So stubborn!”
Gritting his teeth, Gu Zhicheng said, “Li, stop wasting your words on her. I have tried to reason with her and appeal to her emotions multiple times in the past few days, as you have witnessed. No matter how much I say, it’s just a waste of breath. ”
Li Tianhao walked to the bottom of the steps. “I’ll give you three moves.”
Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow. ‘Thank you, Lord Li!”
Without hesitation, she made her move since he had offered. Li Tianhao’s expression slightly tensed.
In a battle between masters, the true extent of their skills becomes evident. Initially thinking that Gu Zhicheng’s description was exaggerated, Li Tianhao had to admit that Gu Qingluan was indeed formidable.
He realized that he needed to be careful; a slight oversight could lead to his defeat.
Bang!
Li Tianhao intercepted Gu Qingluan’s hand.
“One move.’
“Lord Li, you truly live up to being an expert in the Ninth Stage of the Heavenly Realm. Much stronger than someone here,” Gu Qingluan lightly implied, casting a meaningful glance at a certain man beside her.
Gu Zhicheng understood the underlying meaning of her words, and his face immediately darkened.
Li Tianhao replied, “You are also impressive!”
His Ninth Stage of the Heavenly Realm cultivation was no secret, so he wasn’t surprised when Gu Qingluan mentioned it.
“Prepare yourself, Lord Li!”
Gu Qingluan smiled faintly. Her fist clenched as she aimed for Li Tianhao’s face.
Her punch was unstoppable.
The sound of air being shattered caused Li Tianhao’s expression to change.
“You…”
He swiftly evaded.
A strand of his hair was swept away by the force of her punch, instantly severed into two pieces.
‘You are also an expert in the Ninth Stage of the Heavenly Realm!”
Li Tianhao landed not far away. His eyes filled with astonishment as he looked at Gu Qingluan..
