Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1410 - 1409: Have the Clouds Dispersed Like Smoke?

Chapter 1410: Chapter 1409: Have the Clouds Dispersed Like Smoke?

"Then why are Ouyang Rong so confident and arrogant?" This was something Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t understand.

Dongfang Yu shook his head, "I can’t quite understand it either. Logically, they haven’t appeared for a long time, and they should know that the changes in the world now mean they can never return to the glorious days of the Mystic Sect. Why do they think the people of the Mystic Sect would support him and be subservient to him?"

"Would you obey his orders?"

Dongfang Yu scoffed, "What orders? That’s all old news, just self-deception."

So it meant that Dongfang Yu didn’t care much about the so-called Sect Leader’s authority.

Gu Qiaoqiao felt relieved.

At this moment, she definitely didn’t want to become an enemy with Dongfang Yu.

"What is the Ouyang family plotting then? Could it be just for my family’s Hundred Miles of Mountains Map?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked curiously.

"Not necessarily." Dongfang Yu glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao meaningfully, "Maybe it’s just a ruse, and what they truly want is something else."

"Something else?" Gu Qiaoqiao murmured, "What could that be?"

Dongfang Yu fell silent; in truth, he didn’t know either.

But he found it amusing.

The unfounded claim that the Sect Leader of the Mystic Sect would return was just going to lead to disappointment, as the Mystic Sect was now merely a shell, with hardly anyone left.

What would he come back for?

Just for the Hundred Miles of Mountains Map?

Even he didn’t know if there were any secrets there.

"Wait for that so-called Sect Leader to appear, and then you’ll know," Dongfang Yu said nonchalantly, casting a sideways glance at Gu Qiaoqiao.

"I can’t wait. You’re coming with me to Lijing Mansion tonight."

"No." Dongfang Yu refused without even thinking.

"Why?" Gu Qiaoqiao glared, "Don’t forget who saved you."

Mentioning this made Dongfang Yu feel frustrated.

His tone worsened, "I can’t go with you. If I run into your family’s executioner, I’ll be in trouble again."

Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly remembered what happened a few days ago and pouted, "It won’t happen this time. Ah Ze won’t be going to Lijing Mansion."

"That’s hard to say." Dongfang Yu replied coldly.

"Forget it, if you don’t want to go, then don’t..." Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t insist. After all, Ouyang Rong was mainly targeting the Gu Family right now, and Dongfang Yu had no connection to them yet. Given his selfish nature, he wouldn’t get involved in this matter.

After speaking, Gu Qiaoqiao turned to leave.

Dongfang Yu remained seated on the sofa, unmoving.

Xiao Bai, however, followed Gu Qiaoqiao to the door. Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Xiao Bai in surprise, crouched down, and asked, "You want to come with me?"

"Yes, I want to go with you. I want to see this Mystic Sect Leader and his daughter; maybe I’ll recognize them..."

"Your owner won’t agree to that, will he?"

"He agrees. Didn’t you see he didn’t say anything? Let’s go, I’m coming with you now." Xiao Bai suggested enthusiastically.

Gu Qiaoqiao smiled, picked up Xiao Bai, and without glancing at Dongfang Yu, opened the door and left.

Dongfang Yu caught a glimpse of them from the corner of his eye, shook his head helplessly, and took a sip of the tea on the coffee table. The fragrant tea was specially made, with a hint of spiritual energy, though ordinary people couldn’t taste it.

He didn’t have much of this tea left. It seemed he should visit the old residence of the Dongfang Family in the autumn.

He leaned back slowly, closed his eyes slightly, and sighed, "Gu Qiaoqiao, oh Gu Qiaoqiao, of the 81 challenges, how many have you faced so far?"

In the quiet of the night, Gu Qiaoqiao changed into her evening clothes and left the gates of Gu Garden.

By this time, it was already past eleven at night.

The city’s hustle and bustle had returned to silence, with only the occasional lights illuminating the world.

At the entrance of an alley, Brother Li San’s car was waiting there, as agreed.

Brother Li San was not a talkative person and kept secrets well, having told no one, not even the Old Patriarch.

Gu Qiaoqiao got into the car, "Brother San, let’s go to Lijing Mansion."

Brother Li San started the car and drove towards Lijing Mansion.

Xiao Bai lay quietly beside Gu Qiaoqiao.

Neither spoke along the way. Gu Qiaoqiao pondered her plan. Qin Yize had told her to think three steps ahead with every move. There is no perfect plan in the world, and mistakes are bound to happen, so the goal is to minimize them.

And so, they soon arrived at the gates of Lijing Mansion.

Parking the car in a corner, Gu Qiaoqiao whispered, "Brother San, wait for me here. I’ll be out soon."

Brother Li San hesitated but nodded, advising, "Qiaoqiao, I don’t know what you’re up to, and clearly, I can’t help. But you must be careful."

Gu Qiaoqiao’s lips curled into a warm smile, "I know, Brother San, just peacefully wait here for me."

Then, Gu Qiaoqiao got out of the car, with Xiao Bai following her steps towards a large pillar.

Gu Qiaoqiao turned around the pillar, performing a sky-drawing talisman, making herself and Xiao Bai invisible in an instant, then confidently striding towards the gates of Lijing Mansion.

Just as she was about to push open the revolving door, a slightly impatient yet chilly voice rang out, "Why are you so late?"

Gu Qiaoqiao froze and quickly turned around, finding it was Dongfang Yu.

He was leaning against the wall, also invisible.

Glancing around to make sure no one else could see them, Gu Qiaoqiao thought to herself how mysterious fate was.

Were the grudges of the past really just a puff of smoke now?

But now was not the time for idle thoughts. She smiled, "I didn’t expect you to come..."

"What do you plan to do?" Dongfang Yu asked without any chitchat.

"If I said I hadn’t really planned it, just seeing how things go, would you believe me?"

Dongfang Yu paused, then nodded, "I believe you."

Gu Qiaoqiao said softly, "There is a plan, but plans can’t keep up with changes. The only Mystic Sect person I’ve ever fought is you; the second is Ouyang Rong, and this is Lijing Mansion. We can’t really start a fight here..."

"Then what do you mean?" Dongfang Yu asked in confusion.

"Adapt to the situation. Didn’t you notice I didn’t even bring Xiao Wen?"

Okay, Dongfang Yu asked no more and remained silent.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s thinking wasn’t wrong, as dealing with Mystic Sect people was different from dealing with ordinary people. You could never know how many tricks the opponent had up their sleeve.

The two quickly reached the luxurious suite where Ouyang Rong was staying—the top floor, and upon entering, was the service desk.

A service attendant was leaning against the wall, dozing off.

There were only two suites here, facing each other with a verdant lounge area in between.

A large window provided a panoramic view of the cityscape below.
