Chapter 153: Xiaobai, We’re in Big Trouble
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Xiaobai, come, let’s go see!”
Xiaobai noticed that this time it felt surprisingly comfortable.
Apart from the slightly unpleasant taste, it didn’t experience any stomach discomfort or throat irritation.
What a relief!
It hopped into Gu Xiaonan’s arms.
Together, they walked outside.
“What’s happening out there?”
On the way, they encountered a panicked servant, and Gu Xiaonan stopped the person.
“Young Master, something bad has happened. The head of the Gu family has come to our door!”
Gu Xiaonan’s mind spun for a moment before he finally realized who the “head of the Gu family” was.
“Is it the old man who expelled my mother from the family?”
“It’s him! Young Master, you should find a place to hide. If the barrier breaks, the head of the Gu family will likely come in and may capture you while the Master is not here.”
Hiding was not an option!
If someone came knocking at the door, he had to confront them!
Gu Xiaonan rushed towards the main gate.
“Young Master! Why are you running in that direction? The head of the Gu family is outside the gate!”
The servant couldn’t stop him and could only stomp their feet, running to find someone in charge.
As the Master had been in seclusion these past few days and Su Lie’s injuries had not yet healed, they had to find Bo He, the young lady skilled in formations.
When Gu Xiaonan reached the gate, the protective barrier set by Gu Qingluan around the Jun residence was already trembling and on the verge of collapse. Outside the barrier, Gu Zhicheng’s palms exerted force.
Another palm struck the barrier.
The barrier shook violently, and cracks appeared on the transparent shield.
Gu Xiaonan frowned, “This barrier can withstand ten strikes from a Revered One. That old man outside must be a Revered One. Xiaobai, we’re in big trouble.”
Xiaobai’s eyes became serious.
“Squeak, squeak!”
Young Master, I will protect you!
Gu Xiaonan patted it and turned around, walking towards the courtyard.
“Xiaobai, I need to set up a formation. Help me!”
Xiaobai jumped out of his arms onto the ground.
Gu Xiaonan started rummaging through the spatial storage for items.
Mainly Xuanling Stones and various spiritual beast cores.
“Xiaobai, take these four Xuanling Stones and place them in the four corners.” He tossed four Xuanling Stones, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with spiritual energy, to Xiaobai. Swiftly, Xiaobai held them in its mouth and dashed towards the corners of the courtyard.
Gu Xiaonan didn’t waste time either. He took out a dagger and dug holes in the ground.
The dagger cut through the soil effortlessly, and in a few motions, a hole was formed.
He buried the Xuanling Stones and inserted a fiery-red spiritual beast core into each hole. Then, he covered them with soil.
The servants from the residence arrived upon hearing the news.
“Xiaonan, why are you still here? Hurry, come with me!” Bo He rushed over and grabbed Gu Xiaonan’s hand, running towards the back courtyard.
“Miss Bo He, we can’t run away! It’s too late!”
Gu Xiaonan stood still.
Bo He anxiously said, “Then let’s hide inside the residence. The Master told me about a secret chamber where we can hide.”
“If I hide, what will happen to all of you? What will happen to Jun Residence?” “You don’t need to worry about us. We’re just servants. The head of the Gu family won’t trouble us.”
“That scoundrel will definitely take his anger out on you if he can’t find me and Mother. Come on, Miss Bo He, help me set up the formation.”
Gu Xiaonan released Bo He’s hand and busied himself in the courtyard.
Unable to persuade him, Bo He could only step forward and a.s.sist.
Others seeing this also joined in to help Gu Xiaonan.
Boom!
The barrier crumbled into dust.
“Gu Qingluan, I’ve arrived. Aren’t you going to come out and greet me?”
Gu Zhicheng’s face was icy, stepping over the tall threshold.
Inside the gate was a courtyard.
Guards held large knives, looking at him with vigilance.
Just now, Gu Zhicheng had enveloped the entire Jun Residence with his divine sense, ensuring that no one had secretly left.
Was everyone hiding in fear?
