Chapter 2084: Shi Wujue Finally Lied!

“I didn’t expect that Gu Changsheng, that shameless woman, couldn’t stand provocation like this. I barely used any strategies, and she couldn’t hold her ground!”

At this point, Fufeng Tianlan’s eyes revealed a glint of malice, her long sleeves hanging as she quietly said to the person beside her, “Send a message to the people in the Royal City with a secret order from me. Find the whereabouts of Gu Ze at all costs, alive or dead!”

When the words ‘alive or dead’ came out of Fufeng Tianlan’s mouth, only the exhilaration of vengeance remained on her face!

“Gu Changsheng, I will make you live a fate worse than death! Everything you care about, everything you’re concerned about, everything you possess—I want you to watch with your own eyes as they’re reduced to dust before you, making you wish you were dead; that’s the purpose of my life!”

Possessed by hatred, Fufeng Tianlan’s expression was terrifyingly sinister, but the two people standing behind her, also wearing veils, dared not say a word!

They naturally understood Fufeng Tianlan’s character, but their mistake was in having such a master!

A master consumed by hatred!

The message was still spread as instructed by Fufeng Tianlan. Even in the Divine Mount Qilian, as descendants of the Ancient Country, they had their ways of communicating messages, something Fufeng Tianlan knew and Shi Wujue knew even better!

Since yesterday, after meeting Jin Luoyi again, and seeing Fufeng Tianlan behind him, Shi Wujue’s complexion had become exceedingly frail!

Looking at Fufeng Tianlan’s figure, Shi Wujue seemed to clearly hear the words said to him by Fufeng Tianlan echoing in his ears!

“Imperial Brother, you and she are destined to be enemies!”

“Imperial Brother, you and she are destined to be at each other’s throats…”

“…”

Every sentence, every word felt like a curse, binding Shi Wujue tightly, unable to escape.

He and Gu Changsheng seemed to be born on opposing sides. Since Shi Wujue came into this world, he had been carrying the hopes and burdens of the Ancient Country He Clan, whereas Gu Changsheng was the one their clan needed to find and utilize…

Shi Wujue didn’t know where things went wrong, nor did he know who was to blame. If it came down to right and wrong, it was that he shouldn’t have fallen in love with Gu Changsheng!

Love for someone destined to be on the opposing side!

Sometimes, Shi Wujue would wonder if, instead of his ancestors’ meticulous planning, if he hadn’t continued their will, constantly scheming; if he had directly approached her openly and confessed, would Gu Changsheng have helped him?

This question, whenever it crossed his mind, made Shi Wujue’s heart ache with a dull throb.

He understands Gu Changsheng well, though not as deeply as Zhou Mu does. However, from prolonged interaction, Shi Wujue has some understanding of Gu Changsheng, and he knows the answer to this hypothetical.

Gu Changsheng would agree to help him, even knowing the danger, as long as he approached her openly, explaining the predicament of his people. She would help because she is such a kind person!

But everything is beyond return now. Since Gu Changsheng and Fufeng Tianlan became enemies, since the Ancient Country’s plans commenced, everything has reached a point of no return!

If asked whom Shi Wujue least wants to face at this moment, it would be Fufeng Tianlan!

He doesn’t want to see Fufeng Tianlan, doesn’t want to recall any of her words!

However, things don’t go as one wishes. From the moment he encountered Gu Changsheng and fell for her, Shi Wujue was destined never to have anything go his way again.

“Gu Changsheng, don’t go! She’s deceiving you!”

Finally, once Yuan Bao had packed everything, as Gu Changsheng turned to walk toward the Misty Prohibition area, Shi Wujue couldn’t help reaching out, blocking Gu Changsheng’s path!

“Shi Wujue?” Gu Changsheng turned swiftly, looking at Shi Wujue’s slightly pale face. After pondering for a moment, she said, “I know Jin Luoyi is deceiving me. But even if he’s lying, it proves that those behind him are already suspicious of Xiaoroubao’s whereabouts! Shi Wujue, I can’t delay any longer; I need to return quickly to my child! I will not allow him to face any danger! You can say I’m worried or falling into a trap out of urgency, but that’s my child; I cannot let him be placed in danger!”
