Liu Caiyun's gaze at Gu Youwei was filled with utter hatred.

She wished she could beat Gu Youwei to death right then and there, venting this rage for her son!

"Gu Youwei, how could you be so cruel-hearted?!"

"He's your brother, yet you could actually bring yourself to hurt him?"

There was not the slightest change in Gu Youwei's expression.

She stared straight at Liu Caiyun. "Brother?"

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

That left Gu Zhengchun and Liu Caiyun puzzled.

They both turned to Gu Feng, as though asking: What exactly did you say to Gu Youwei?

At this point, Gu Feng felt as though his intestines had turned green with regret.

Had he known Gu Youwei was this formidable, he never would have let his tongue run wild and said those things!

But seeing Gu Feng hemming and hawing like this, Gu Zhengchun was immediately seized by a deeply ominous feeling.

He demanded, "What exactly did you say to Gu Youwei?"

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

"So from beginning to end, the Gu family taking me in and sending me to cultivate at the Cangshan Sword Sect was all nothing but a lie, wasn't it?"

At Gu Youwei's question, Gu Zhengchun felt the blood throughout his body turn ice-cold!

He truly had not expected Gu Youwei to know everything!

Yet that was not the key point.

The key point was that Gu Zhengchun could not understand how Gu Youwei had come out of the Cangshan Sword Sect completely unharmed.

While Gu Zhengchun was still wracking his brains, Gu Youwei's voice came from beside him.

"Answer me. Is it true?"

Before Gu Zhengchun could respond, Liu Caiyun snapped in near-collapse, "Whether it's true or not, you still can't hit your brother!"

"Your father and I treated you like our own daughter, and this is how you repay us? By beating your brother?"

But Gu Youwei could not take in any of those words.

In the same icy tone, she repeated, "Answer me. Is it true?"

Seeing Gu Youwei becoming somewhat strange, Gu Zhengchun felt that this could not continue.

Gu Youwei had fled back from the Cangshan Sword Sect without a word. If He Changsong discovered it, the consequences would be grave!

So Gu Zhengchun coaxed Gu Youwei, "Good daughter, did something frighten you?"

"How could your mother and I possibly treat you as a gift and send you to someone else? Isn't that utter nonsense?"

"Good daughter, don't be angry. There must be some misunderstanding here."

"Just cultivate properly under Sect Master He. I've already made all the arrangements."

Then Gu Youwei said flatly, "That old bastard He Changsong had improper designs on me."

"I already killed him."

"Father, Mother, I can trust you, right?"

Gu Youwei's thoughts were in complete turmoil.

In her previous life, Gu Chen had deceived her terribly.

In this life, she truly did not want to be deceived by her parents again!

Yet upon hearing this, Gu Zhengchun and Liu Caiyun were utterly dumbfounded.

They even wondered whether there was something wrong with their ears!

"Weiwei, you can't spout such outrageous nonsense!"

"Some things must not be said carelessly!"

Gu Youwei gave a cold laugh and replied dismissively, "I killed that old bastard He Changsong. So what?"

"I'll ask you one last time."

"Did you lie to me or not?"

Liu Caiyun had never liked Gu Youwei to begin with. Now that she saw Gu Youwei acting so crazily, her disgust only deepened.

So she replied impatiently on the spot, "Gu Youwei, does it even matter whether we lied to you?"

"You need to understand that you have no father or mother now. Even your biological brother has abandoned you!"

"Other than us, you have absolutely no one to rely on!"

"Yet you are so rebellious and unfilial. Not only did you flee the sect, you injured your brother, and now you even shamelessly claim that you killed your master!"

"You're coming back with me right now to beg Sect Master He for forgiveness!"

Gu Feng had long since been so frightened that he lost control of both his bladder and bowels.

He swallowed hard and forced himself to say, "Mother, there's... there's no need to go."

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

At that moment, Liu Caiyun was completely stunned.

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

Could He Changsong really be dead?

Gu Zhengchun hurried over and asked, "Feng'er, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

"How could Sect Master He possibly..."

Before Gu Zhengchun could continue, Gu Feng replied, "Dead. They're all dead."

"Everyone from the Cangshan Sword Sect is dead!"

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

"We definitely didn't lie to her, or we'll die too!"

Gu Feng had been frightened out of his mind by Gu Youwei.

He merely repeated those words to Gu Zhengchun over and over again.

Seeing that his son had been scared mad, Gu Zhengchun no longer wished to keep up the act.

He looked directly at Gu Youwei. "Gu Youwei, you have truly disappointed me."

"If you had gone to the Cangshan Sword Sect and stayed properly with Sect Master He, you would certainly have risen to great heights in the future."

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

"Now Feng'er has been frightened into this state by you. Even dying a hundred times would not bring my Feng'er back!"

As soon as Gu Zhengchun finished speaking, countless Gu family servants appeared around Gu Youwei.

They glared at Gu Youwei like tigers watching their prey, waiting only for Gu Zhengchun's order to seize her at once!

By now, Gu Youwei finally understood everything.

From the very beginning, she had fallen into the Gu family's trap.

Parental love, sect cultivation—every bit of it had been fake.

The Gu family's true purpose was exactly as Gu Feng had said.

They had merely used her as an offering, paving the way for the Gu family.

Thinking of this, Gu Youwei truly found herself laughable.

She had thought that in this life, she could rewrite the past and finally receive her parents' love.

Yet her parents had plotted against her with such venom!

In her daze, Gu Youwei suddenly realized something.

In her previous life, Gu Chen had refused no matter what to let her remain with the Gu family. Could it be that Gu Chen had seen through all of this long ago?

Could it be that Gu Chen had wanted to protect her, so he would rather give up the inheritance than take her away from the Gu family?

But after thinking it over carefully, Gu Youwei quickly rejected that idea.

Because she knew Gu Chen well. No matter what, he would never make protecting her his mission!

The reason Gu Chen had taken her away in her previous life was obviously because he coveted the Heavenly Dao Bone within her body!

And in this life, Gu Chen had not taken her away because he possessed the cultivation techniques from his previous life in his mind. He no longer needed the Heavenly Dao Bone!
