Gu Qinghan: "I Want This Man!"

"Your soul ring configuration..."

Second Patriarch Gu Qingmo spoke softly. It was clear she was utterly shocked, and almost instinctively wanted to ask what was going on with Chen Yue's soul ring configuration.

But before she could finish, Third Family Head Gu Qinghan stopped her.

Her cool gaze fell upon Chen Yue as she declared something that stunned everyone present. "I want this man!"

Chen Yue, "???"

Damn, that direct?

The other three, "???"

Do you even hear what you're saying?

"Third Family Head, this..."

Gu Wuji stood there awkwardly, able only to look pleadingly toward First Family Head Gu Qingxue and Second Patriarch Gu Qingmo.

"Since Third Sister wants to recruit him, then recruit him."

First Family Head Gu Qingxue said nothing more and turned to leave, leaving Chen Yue completely dumbfounded.

Second Patriarch Gu Qingmo, however, smiled radiantly. "Elder Wuji, go make the preparations."

"Yes!"

As though granted a pardon, Gu Wuji fled the scene as if escaping for his life.

Chen Yue was still utterly bewildered. Just as he was about to ask something, Gu Qingmo smiled sweetly and extended her delicate hand before him. "The Gu Family welcomes you."

Chen Yue subconsciously reached out and took her hand, only to suddenly feel a chill run through his entire body. Looking up, he saw Second Patriarch Gu Qingmo smiling pleasantly, while Third Family Head Gu Qinghan's eyes had once again turned icy...

Chen Yue, "..."

Coming to the Gu Family... was that a very bad decision?

He had the distinct feeling that he had entered some den of unpredictable enchantresses, and that he had become Tang Monk's flesh...

Very soon after.

Chen Yue was assigned a room and shown around by Gu Wuji. However, Gu Wuji had something to do midway through and left, telling only a little girl to take Chen Yue around.

"Hey, are you my Third Aunt's Husband?"

The little girl's height... all that could be said was that if she hugged him like this, her head would only reach Chen Yue's pelvis.

At that moment, she blinked her pretty big eyes at Chen Yue.

"Unless something unexpected happens, I suppose so..."

Chen Yue did not know whether it was merely his imagination, but he felt that something unexpected was very likely to happen.

Especially when they had shaken hands earlier, Second Patriarch Gu Qingmo had scratched his palm with her thumb...

Of course, he quickly cast aside that strange thought. What a joke—how could that possibly be?

"Little girl, what's your name?"

Chen Yue carried the little girl in his arms. It could not be helped; the tiny thing would get tired after running a short distance, and those little legs were simply too much of a struggle.

"My name is Gu Qingbo. Gu Qinghan is my Third Aunt!"

Gu Qingbo?

Wasn't she one of Heavenly Water Academy's seven great beauties?

And she was... still this tiny?

Then didn't that mean...

"Qingbo, what are you doing? How about we go shopping?"

At that moment, Chen Yue saw six more little girls come bouncing over. When they saw him, the little ones were clearly stunned. "Who are you? Why are you carrying Qingbo?"

Chen Yue, "..."

Don't tell me these are the future seven great beauties of the Skywater Battle Team?

At that thought, Chen Yue looked at the group of tiny girls with a strange expression, then at the little girl in his arms. Doesn't that mean the current timeline seems a little off?

"In other words, the original Tang San should still be at Nuoding Academy right now, or perhaps... he had only recently undergone his Martial Soul awakening?"
