Chapter 123: It’d Be Useless Even If My Father Were Here

All the teacups and teapots on the table flew into the air.
“Gu Qingluan, how dare you!” Qitian Yu’s eyes widened in shock and anger.
Whoosh!
All the teacups and teapots shot towards him.
Qitian Yu snorted in anger and activated his arcane power to defend himself.
But to his surprise, the arcane power surrounding him was easily shattered, and the teacups and teapots hit his face and body.
In an instant, Qitian Yu not only became soaked but also suffered from a swollen and bruised face. He looked utterly miserable.
…..
“Gu Qingluan… ugh!” His roar nearly shook the roof.
Then, it abruptly stopped.
Gu Qingluan reclined in her chair, crossing her legs, and mischievously swung one foot adorned with sheer white stockings. “Much quieter now!”
Qitian Yu pulled something out of his mouth and realized it was an embroidered shoe.
The thought of how many places the shoe had stepped on and how dirty it might be made him feel nauseous. He covered his throat and retched, his neck veins bulging.
Gu Zhixin wanted to stop all of this, but it was too late. He could only watch with a pounding heart.
He felt he couldn’t just stand by and watch. Otherwise, he would be held accountable for letting the Fifth Prince, along with himself, be humiliated like this.
“Gu Qingluan, you’ve gone too far!” he exclaimed, his voice trembling.
Confronting Gu Qingluan’s smiling face, his voice became softer, lacking confidence.
“Gone too far?” Gu Qingluan tapped her chin with a curved finger. “It seems 1 haven’t gone far enough. You don’t know what ’going too far’ really means!”
As she finished speaking, she lightly flicked her finger.
A rushing sound filled the air.
Gu Zhixin tried to dodge, but he couldn’t avoid it. He felt a sharp pain in his knees as he crashed onto the hard stone floor.
“Since you’ve disturbed my mood today, kneel down and apologize to me. If I’m in a good mood afterward, I’ll let it go. Otherwise…”
Gu Qingluan smiled faintly, her silent threat hanging in the air.
Shame!
A tremendous sense of shame!
Gu Zhixin’s knees were in excruciating pain, but the pain on his face was even worse. A junior had forced him to kneel. “Gu Qingluan… you…”
When he met Gu Qingluan’s emotionless, icy gaze, all his rage got stuck in his throat, and he couldn’t utter a word.
Kneel down and kowtow to Gu Qingluan? He might as well kill himself!
His whole body trembled, filled with anger and fear. “Gu Qingluan, you will pay for your audacity!”
“There’s no need for you to worry about that, Second Master of the Gu family. Whether you kowtow or not, it’s up to you. I’m not a patient person. If you miss the opportunity, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
Gu Zhixin looked puzzled. “What are you planning to do? Do you dare to kill me? I came here today, and everyone in the Gu family knows about it!”
Gu Qingluan blinked. “Have you been here? No one from the Gu family, including dogs, is allowed to enter. It seems I should put up a signboard outside the gate.”
“The Gu family’s coachmen, servants, and even the Fifth Prince’s guards are outside! Do you think you can deceive everyone?”
“Are you referring to them?” She looked up toward the door.
Both Gu Zhixin and Qitian Yu felt a sense of foreboding and turned their heads.
They saw all the subordinates who had accompanied them, tied up and heavily injured!
Could it be that Gu Qingluan truly intended to kill them?
Qitian Yu and Gu Zhixin were shocked, fear spreading within them.
Both of them knew Gu Qingluan’s strength. Without skilled experts to save them, they might actually be killed by her!
This woman was completely unpredictable when she went mad!
Would kneeling before her really ensure their safety?
Gu Zhixin’s eyes flickered. “Qingluan, I am your uncle…”
“Even if my own father were here, it would be useless!”
