"How is that possible?!"
He had lived for most of his life, yet he had never heard of anyone whose first soul ring was fucking purple!
But this... he could feel the energy fluctuations from the soul ring. It was unmistakable—this was the kind of aura only a thousand-year purple soul ring possessed!
"You... what is going on?"
Chen Yue shrugged. Of course, he knew what Gu Wuji was asking. "The soul ring?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"That's just how it is!"
Gu Wuji: "..."
If Chen Yue had said that before releasing his soul rings, Gu Wuji would have thrown him out without hesitation!
But now... faced with this utterly unreasonable soul ring configuration, Gu Wuji did not dare make the decision on his own. If he fucking drove away a genius with such monstrous potential, the three Family Heads would probably skin him alive!
"Mr. Chen, right? Please, come in!"
Thoughts racing through his mind, Gu Wuji hurriedly bowed and welcomed him in. "I can't make a judgment on this matter myself. Please come inside so we can talk. I'll go invite the three Family Heads!"
The Gu Family was jointly governed by three Family Heads. Chen Yue did not yet know the reason why, but he figured he would find out soon enough.
"Alright!"
Before long, Chen Yue was led into the main hall. He had barely taken a seat when he heard three sets of hurried footsteps approaching.
The first thing he saw was six long, snow-white legs without the slightest trace of excess flesh. As his gaze traveled upward, Chen Yue sucked in a sharp breath, a thought surfacing in his mind. Those legs could be played with for years?
"Are you Chen Yue?"
The sudden voice startled Chen Yue so badly that he jolted. He hurriedly snapped out of his uncultured daze and looked up, only to see three devastatingly beautiful yet similar women, each with a distinctly different style, standing before him.
Chen Yue was dumbfounded!
What the hell?
Was this... letting him pick one?
"Mr. Chen, these are the Gu Family's three Family Heads: Gu Qingxue, Gu Qingmo, and Gu Qinghan!"
Seeing his stunned, apparently mistaken expression, Gu Wuji quickly explained.
Only then did Chen Yue understand, but he was even more dumbfounded!
The Gu Family was actually ruled by three women?
This...
Chen Yue stared blankly at the three women before him.
First Family Head Gu Qingxue truly lived up to her name. She was dressed entirely in snow-white; her hair was snow-white, her dress was snow-white, even her eyebrows were snow-white.
Yet beneath those white brows, she seemed pale and completely devoid of emotion. She radiated an aura that warned others to stay away, and the emotionless gaze she fixed on Chen Yue made his scalp tingle.
Third Family Head Gu Qinghan seemed to carry an icy aura of her own. The moment she approached, Chen Yue felt a chill rise from the depths of his heart.
Compared to those two, Second Family Head Gu Qingmo seemed much more normal.
A gentle smile rested on her face, and her voice was exceptionally soft, like that of a kindly girl next door. She smiled faintly. "Chen Yue, could you release your soul rings again?"
"Alright!"
Chen Yue forced himself to release his soul rings.
Purple, purple, black.
Three soul rings in a configuration that should have been utterly impossible for a Soul Elder completely stunned the three Family Heads!
First Family Head Gu Qingxue, who seemed completely devoid of human warmth, showed no change in expression, but her white brows trembled slightly. Clearly, her heart was far from calm.
As for Third Family Head Gu Qinghan, she finally regained a bit of human warmth. A trace of astonishment appeared in her eyes, which occasionally glinted with cold light. When she looked at Chen Yue again, he could no longer feel that faint chill.
