"Those two?" Qianbei Ye thought for a moment before replying, "Let's get married first then we'll talk."
He does not want the Azure Dragon and White Tiger's wedding to affect them...
Gu Ruoyun did not say anything more. Instead, she directed her gaze towards the courtyard.
The Wen family guards were not very powerful. The Azure Dragon and the others did not need to expend too much energy to dispatch them! After a while, the White Tiger returned carrying a disoriented man in black.
"Big brother!"
Gu Ruoyun quickly rushed forward when she saw that man. After she had attended to the wounds all over the man's body, a thick murderous intent exploded from her body along with an Armageddon-like aura.
"The Wen family!"
She clenched her fists tightly as she spat, "If I don't destroy you, I, Gu Ruoyun, am not human!"
Once she had said those words, she quickly took out a healing pill and popped it into Gu Shengxiao's mouth. At the same time, she also fed him with the pill which could lift him out from the puppet state.
Once that pill had entered his mouth, it melted into a clear liquid which enveloped the man's heart.
Gu Ruoyun waited anxiously as the unconscious man's eyelids trembled before he slowly opened them.
"Little sister?"
A delicate and pretty face entered the man's sight. The man was mildly dazed when he saw her face. He then murmured, "What are you doing here?"
"Big brother."
Gu Ruoyun raised the corners of her lips and smiled, "I'm here to bring you home."
I'm here to bring you home...
Those words touched Gu Shengxiao's heart greatly and he opened his mouth to speak but could not say a word. His throat was very dry.
"Big brother, don't worry, I've helped you to break away from their control. From now on, you are no longer a puppet and you won't have to listen to anyone's orders."
Gu Shengxiao moved slightly and his dark eyes were clearly brighter than it had previously been. After a long pause, he laughed bitterly and said, "I had become a puppet to help you. I never thought that I would end up dragging you down in the end..."
"You can help me now too." Gu Ruoyun looked at Gu Shengxiao and blinked."Father insists on handing the Red Lotus Territory over to me but I already have too many organizations in my hands. If I were to add the Red Lotus Territory into the list, it would be too strenuous to manage them all. Hence, I've decided to hand the Red Lotus Territory over to you. If you really feel that you've troubled me, you can manage this Territory for me. Besides..."
She paused before she continued, "Though you've broken free from the Wen family's control, your level of power has been maintained. Based on your current abilities, you are capable of controlling the entirety of the Red Lotus Territory!"
Gu Shengxiao looked at Gu Ruoyun and nodded, "Alright."
He would never refuse his sister's request.
"Furthermore..." Gu Ruoyun frowned, "Zuo Shangchen seemed to have run into some trouble after helping us to find the medicinal herb. The last medicinal ingredient had been sent over by someone else to the Grand Lord's residence! Under regular circumstances, he would have personally sent it over and joined us to come to save you but he never showed up. Based on my observation, that evildoer Zuo Shangchen must have run into some trouble! Brother, I want to go look for him."
If Zuo Shangchen really has run into some trouble, it would have been because of her. She could not just stay idle on this.
"Let's go together." Gu Shengxiao was stunned for a moment when he heard Zuo Shangchen's name. He then continued to speak, "But before that, there's one more thing I need to do."
"What is it?"
"Little sister, do you still remember what I had told you? Wen Yue of the Wen family had saved me once. She was the one who had risked danger to help me escape the Wen family. Now, she is being forced by the Wen family to marry the Secret Order's Left Emissary. I can't just abandon her! After all, she has helped me before."
