Liu Caiyun's gaze towards Gu Youwei at that moment was filled with pure hatred.

She wished she could beat Gu Youwei to death right then and there to avenge her son!

"Gu Youwei, you truly have a heart of stone!"

"He's your brother, how could you bring yourself to lay a hand on him?"

Gu Youwei's expression remained completely unchanged.

She stared intently at Liu Caiyun and said, "Brother?"

"Then why did he say those things to me when I was at the Cangshan Sword Sect?"

This left Gu Zhengchun and Liu Caiyun bewildered.

They both looked at Gu Feng simultaneously, as if asking, What exactly did you say to Gu Youwei?

At this point, Gu Feng felt an overwhelming sense of regret.

If he had known Gu Youwei would be this formidable, he never would have spoken those careless words!

However, seeing Gu Feng's hesitant demeanor, Gu Zhengchun felt a sense of foreboding.

He then sternly questioned, "What exactly did you say to Gu Youwei?"

Before Gu Feng could answer, Gu Youwei spoke up directly, "He said I was a gift sent to the Cangshan Sword Sect."

"So, from the very beginning until now, my being taken in by the Gu Family and then cultivating at the Cangshan Sword Sect was all just a lie, wasn't it?"

Being asked this by Gu Youwei, Gu Zhengchun felt his blood run cold!

He had never imagined that Gu Youwei would know everything!

However, that wasn't the main point.

The main point was that Gu Zhengchun couldn't understand how Gu Youwei had managed to return from the Cangshan Sword Sect completely intact.

As Gu Zhengchun was deep in thought, Gu Youwei's voice came from beside him.

"Answer me, is this true?"

Before Gu Zhengchun could respond, Liu Caiyun yelled in distress, "Whether it's true or not, you still shouldn't have hit your brother!"

"We treated you like our own daughter, and this is how you repay us by hurting your brother?"

But Gu Youwei couldn't hear any of it at that moment.

She repeated her question in a cold tone, "Answer me, is this true?"

Seeing Gu Youwei becoming increasingly strange, Gu Zhengchun knew he couldn't let things continue this way.

If Gu Youwei, who had escaped the Cangshan Sword Sect without a word, was discovered by He Changsong, the consequences would be dire!

So, Gu Zhengchun tried to placate Gu Youwei, saying, "Good daughter, are you perhaps frightened?"

"How could your mother and I possibly give you away as a gift? That's absurd."

"My dear daughter, please don't be angry. There must be some misunderstanding."

"Just stay and cultivate properly with Sect Master He. I've already made arrangements."

Then, Gu Youwei said calmly, "That old man He Changsong had ill intentions towards me."

"I've already killed him."

"Father, Mother, I can trust you, can't I?"

Gu Youwei's heart was in turmoil.

In her past life, she had been terribly deceived by Gu Chen.

In this life, she absolutely refused to be deceived by her parents again!

However, upon hearing this, Gu Zhengchun and Liu Caiyun were stunned.

They even doubted if their ears were playing tricks on them!

"Weiwei, don't spout nonsense!"

"You can't just say things like that!"

Gu Youwei let out a cold laugh, responding dismissively, "So what if I killed that old man He Changsong?"

"I'll ask you one last time."

"Did you lie to me or not?"

Liu Caiyun already disliked Gu Youwei, and seeing her acting so erratic now only intensified her aversion.

She impatiently replied, "Gu Youwei, does it even matter if we lied to you?"

"You need to understand, you're an orphan now, and even your own brother has abandoned you!"

"You have no one to rely on but us!"

"Yet you've acted so rebelliously, not only escaping from the sect but also injuring your brother, and now you brazenly claim to have killed your master!"

"You will come back with me right now and beg Sect Master He for forgiveness!"

Gu Feng, standing to the side, had already lost control of his bladder and bowels from sheer terror.

He swallowed hard and, mustering his courage, said, "Mother, there's no need... no need to go."

"Master... Master was really killed by her."

At that moment, Liu Caiyun was stunned.

Even if Gu Youwei were lying, she believed her son would never lie.

Could He Changsong truly be dead?

Gu Zhengchun rushed over and asked, "Feng'er, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"How could Sect Master He possibly..."

Before Gu Zhengchun could say anything else, Gu Feng responded, "He's dead, they're all dead."

"Everyone from the Cangshan Sword Sect is dead!"

"Father, Mother, we definitely didn't lie to Youwei, did we?"

"We absolutely didn't lie to her, or we'd be dead too!"

Gu Feng was so terrified by Gu Youwei at that moment that he had lost all reason.

He just kept repeating these words to Gu Zhengchun.

Seeing his son driven to madness by fear, Gu Zhengchun no longer wanted to pretend.

He looked directly at Gu Youwei and said, "Gu Youwei, you have disappointed me immensely."

"If you had just stayed with Sect Master He at the Cangshan Sword Sect, you would have prospered in the future."

"Why did you have to push things this far?"

"Now Feng'er is terrified because of you. Even if you died a hundred times, it wouldn't bring my Feng'er back!"

As soon as Gu Zhengchun finished speaking, countless Gu Family retainers appeared around Gu Youwei.

They glared at Gu Youwei menacingly, ready to act the moment Gu Zhengchun gave the order to apprehend her!

At this point, Gu Youwei finally understood everything.

She had fallen into the Gu Family's trap from the very beginning.

The so-called parental love, the so-called cultivation in the sect, it was all fake.

The Gu Family's true objective was exactly as Gu Feng had said.

They were merely using her as a gift to pave the way for the Gu Family.

Thinking of this, Gu Youwei couldn't help but find it laughable.

She had believed she could rewrite her past in this life and finally receive her parents' love.

Instead, her parents had plotted against her with such malice!

In a daze, Gu Youwei suddenly realized something.

In her past life, Gu Chen had insisted she not stay with the Gu Family. Had Gu Chen seen through all of this back then?

Was Gu Chen trying to protect her, which is why he was willing to give up his inheritance just to take her away from the Gu Family?

However, Gu Youwei thought about it carefully and quickly dismissed the idea.

Because she knew Gu Chen too well; he would never make protecting her his priority!

The reason Gu Chen took her away in her past life was clearly to covet the Heavenly Dao Bone within her!

And in this life, Gu Chen wasn't taking her because he already had the cultivation method from his past life in his mind, so he no longer needed the Heavenly Dao Bone!
