Trash Approaching, Reflexive Response

As soon as the words fell, Gu Zhicheng leaped into the air.

Gasps resounded all around.

The head of the Gu family was an expert in the Fourth Stage of the Heavenly Realm.

This young lady was in for a miserable time!

Gu Qingluan curled her lips and smiled. “Just you?”

As Gu Zhicheng flew towards her, she lifted her leg and delivered a direct kick.

Swift!

Fierce!

Accurate!

Their hands and feet clashed, and two immense energies erupted in the air.

Gu Zhicheng was shaken and sent flying backward, stumbling several steps upon landing.

On the other hand, Gu Qingluan sat steadily in front of the carriage with her legs crossed. Other than her hair that was blown by the wind, she did not look any different from before.

The spectators were stunned and could not utter a word.

They realized Gu Qingluan was so strong!

Gu Zhicheng widened his eyes in shock and looked at Gu Qingluan in disbelief.

How was this possible?

Gu Qingluan had been a good-for-nothing since she was young. She was not good at cultivation and did not have any other outstanding aspects.

After not seeing her for a few years, she seemed to have changed into a different person. She had actually become more powerful than him!

He suddenly remembered Gu Jinrong and Gu Jinyue’s words.

She was no longer the person they used to know.

Gu Zhicheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

He was a person who prioritized benefits.

At that moment, he couldn’t help but feel a renewed desire to rebuild the father-daughter bond when he heard the story from Gu Jinrong and Gu Jinyue. If it hadn’t been for witnessing the audacious act of smashing the Gu family plaque, he might not have reacted with violence so quickly.

Now, as he keenly sensed Gu Qingluan’s strength, those thoughts of reconciliation and redemption started to resurface within him.

It was understandable for Gu Qingluan to harbor grievances against the Gu family, but this was still her home after all. As long as he was willing to accept her, he believed she would be willing to come back!

“I apologize if I offended you. I tend to have a reflexive reaction, especially when it comes to trash approaching,” Gu Qingluan said nearby, offering an apology. However, there was no hint of remorse on her face, and her words lacked any trace of sincerity.

Gu Zhicheng widened his eyes, his chest heaving rapidly. Being called “trash” was not something anyone would appreciate, especially for someone like Gu Zhicheng, who was the head of the family. He almost choked on his breath in that moment.

“Gu Qingluan! You uncultured person! How dare you speak to your own father like that!” a scolding voice rang out.

Gu Qingluan raised her gaze to see who it was.

A young maiden in a goose-yellow gown stood at the door, glaring fiercely at Gu Qingluan.

As Gu Qingluan’s gaze met hers, the girl’s eyes grew even more hostile.

Gu Qingluan smiled lightly, her gaze lingering on the girl’s mouth. “Long time no see, your mouth is still as unpleasant as ever.”

The person who appeared was none other than Gu Jinyue, who had been ruthlessly beaten by Gu Qingluan on that day.

Gu Jinyue would never forget the pain she had experienced that day. Even though her injuries had been healed by Mr. Liu and there were no visible scars, she still frequently had nightmares.

Under Gu Qingluan’s scrutinizing gaze, Gu Jinyue couldn’t help but tremble, and her presence instantly weakened.

Immediately, she showed a look of annoyance.

With so many people around and this being their Gu family, how could she let herself be intimidated?

No matter how formidable Gu Qingluan was, she couldn’t possibly win against all of them.

Straightening her posture, she pointed at Gu Qingluan and cursed, “You wretched woman, do you think this is a place where you can run wild?”

Clap!

Her long sleeves fluttered as a palm strike landed on Gu Jinyue’s face.

Gu Jinyue screamed in agony and fell to the ground.

“Yue’er!”

Gu Jinrong happened to witness this scene as he came out, quickly approaching and helping her up.

“Gu Qingluan, you and I are irreconcilable!” Gu Jinyue exclaimed, clutching her swollen and throbbing face, brimming with resentment.

Gu Qingluan let out a soft chuckle as she turned her palm downward. With a flick of her wrist, she lifted a stone from the ground and sent it hurtling towards Gu Jinyue’s

“Ah!”

Gu Jinyue screamed in pain as the stone struck her knee, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground.

The impact was strong, sending a shiver down the spine of anyone who heard it.

Gu Qingluan shook her head lightly. “No need to kneel just because you don’t want to leave with me.”

“Gu Qingluan! I’ll kill you!”

Gu Jinyue, almost consumed by rage, crawled back up from the ground and lunged at Gu Qingluan.
