However, telling Morgan Shangguan that 'ignorance is innocence' is absolutely out of the question. Besides, Ignatius Yan's attempt to use a beauty trap against Quentin Hua has already left her with a deeply negative impression.
"I've said it before—if you dare set your sights on Quincy again, I'll wipe out your Inferno Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Ignatius Yan turned to Nathan Saint, "Master..."
Before Nathan Saint could respond, Morgan Shangguan let out a cold snort, her eyes full of warning. "Are you looking to die a stranger in a foreign land?"
Nathan Saint frowned, but Sylas Ren quickly warned, "You'd better keep quiet. When the little demon gets angry, it's terrifying. Even if you beg for mercy, at best she'll just destroy one more of you!"
Maxwell Jing overheard and laughed, "I didn't expect you to know Roxy so well! What is it? Don't tell me you've got your eye on her?"
Sylas Ren shivered and muttered, "Of all the people, I'd never go for her!" He thought to himself, that would be asking for trouble.
Suddenly catching Morgan Shangguan's gaze, Sylas Ren snapped his mouth shut, heart pounding as he dared not utter another word.
Ethan Gray's gaze swept across the hall, then he said to Morgan Shangguan, "Let the Lotus Sect handle this. If he can't even protect you, then what use is living?"
The others broke out in cold sweat, hearts pounding. Ruthless! Absolutely ruthless!
Hua Qianyu couldn't help but twitch his lips. But on this matter, he agreed with Gong Chenyu—if anyone dared to mess with Xier, they'd have to pay the price!
After handing the matter over to Hua Qianyu, Gong Chenyu had no intention of interfering further. If he was dissatisfied with Hua Qianyu's handling, he'd consider letting Xier stay at the Ghost Sect for a while.
Although he didn't know what Gong Chenyu was thinking at the moment, Hua Qianyu knew he couldn't afford to offend him—he could only try to please him. After all, the man was Xier's older brother.
Gong Chenyu looked at Morgan Shangguan, frowned, and sighed, "Xier, you should be more serious. Don't just focus on being lovey-dovey with this guy." Holding the Yun Sect in her hand, she didn't even know how to use it properly. Clearly, she just found it amusing, which was why she acted so nonchalant—otherwise, Ning Tianyi would've been caught long ago.
The others couldn't help but twitch their lips at his mature tone. He actually called Hua Qianyu 'kid'—it was just... too funny to hold back!
Jing Mohen and Ren Xiaoyao were the most carefree; if they wanted to laugh, they laughed. Gong Chenyu shot them a cold glance and snorted, "He's my brother-in-law. Got a problem with that?"
"No... no problem!" The two glanced at Hua Qianyu, whose face was full of dark lines, then burst into even louder laughter. Even Gu Yihan was smiling.
The most suffocating thing in Hua Qianyu's life was probably having a brother-in-law who was only two years old!
Ning Tianyi twitched his lips, feeling a bit sorry for Hua Qianyu.
Gong Chenyu looked at Jing Mohen and Gu Yihan, raising an eyebrow, "Uncle Gu, Uncle Jing, don't you feel guilty at all?"
Jing Mohen stopped laughing and asked, confused, "Why should we feel guilty?"
Gong Chenyu spoke slowly, "As the left and right protectors of the Ghost Sect, you wander around all day, leaving everything to me, a child. Don't you feel guilty?" Although Gu Yihan and Jing Mohen had left the Ghost Sect, their positions as protectors were still retained.
Gong Chenyu didn't pretend to be pitiful like Morgan Shangguan, but his expressionless little face and serious tone made it seem like Gu Yihan and Jing Mohen really ought to feel guilty—otherwise, it just wasn't right!
Jing Mohen coughed twice and said, "Suddenly I remembered Nameless must be hungry!" With that, he grabbed Gu Yihan and ran off.
Morgan Shangguan saw this and couldn't help but laugh, "Brother, looks like you'll have to tough it out on your own!" As for Nameless being hungry, returning to Jing Valley would take more than a couple of hours, wouldn't it?
Gong Chenyu hadn't expected anything from them and wasn't disappointed in the least. He simply stood up and said, "I should get going!"
"So soon?" Morgan Shangguan was a little reluctant.
Seeing this, Gong Chenyu suggested, "Then why don't you come back to the Ghost Sect with me?"
"No way!" Before Morgan could reply, Hua Qianyu refused vehemently. He'd worked so hard to coax Xier out—why send her back? Gong Chenyu was clearly doing it on purpose!
Morgan thought for a moment and said, "Better not." The Ghost Sect wasn't fun at all. She didn't even want to go back to the Yun Sect, so why would she want to go to the Ghost Sect?
Gong Chenyu didn't push it. He knew Hua Qianyu was always wary of him, but seeing that he'd behaved well, Gong Chenyu couldn't be bothered to argue.
After Gong Chenyu left, Morgan Shangguan ruthlessly robbed Ning Tianyi, taking all his forces in Silvermoon Kingdom and handing them over to the Yun Sect and Bosuo Sect—including Iron Sand Hall and all the pharmacies under Master Xu.
With this, whether it was Ning Tianyi or Yisheng Kingdom, anyone wanting to make a move on Silvermoon Kingdom would have to start from scratch. Gong Chenyu should be satisfied with this outcome. In truth, he just wanted Hua Qianyu to handle things so he wouldn't have any more trouble himself!
In the end, under Miss Xu's resentful gaze, Morgan Shangguan and Hua Qianyu swaggered away, not returning to the Hua family. Iron Sand Hall went to the Bosuo Sect, so Lei Ba no longer troubled the Hua family.
As for Hua Chen, he couldn't feel happy at all. Having just lost his daughter and now estranged from his son, he feared no one would see him off when he died. Hua Wu's death hadn't saddened Du Zhiqiu in the slightest, which made Hua Chen realize just how cold-blooded she was—and he grew even more distant from her.
The unluckiest of all was Yantian. He never should have tried to be clever and send a beauty to Hua Qianyu. Because of his beauty trap, the Yantian Sect was utterly destroyed, once again showing the world just how terrifying the supposedly indifferent Bosuo Sect really was!
Ren Xiaoyao didn't follow Hua Qianyu and Morgan Shangguan. Now that he was free, he naturally wanted to enjoy himself—he might not get another chance!
"Huahua, where are we going now?"
"Where do you want to go?"
"Mother said in her last letter that the pastries in Xiyuan Town are famous. Let's go try them!"
"Alright!"
