Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman Chapter 375

At the same time in Delxun Forest, a huge cloud was hovering in the sky. This scene had attracted the attention of countless people, and even the major international news channels were reporting on this matter.

Gu Xiqiao and Jiang Shuxuan's jade pieces had shattered, but the people at Peace Manor didn't believe it. Luo Wenlang had already sent someone to keep a close eye on Delxun Forest, as long as there was any movement, the news would immediately be transmitted to the ancient martial arts world.

After receiving the latest update from the people at Delxun Forest, Luo Wenlang squeezed the phone tightly. He looked out the window, muttering under his breath, “You guys have to come back…”

Within Delxun Forest, Gu Xiqiao's body was still floating in mid-air. There were traces of blood on her body, and her brows were furrowed tightly, as though she was having a terrifying nightmare.

Blood red thunder and purple lightning was surrounding her body.

“How can you persist for so long?” A surprised voice came from the black cloud. “It's just too weird!”

An old face gradually appeared in the cloud, and he stared at Gu Xiqiao for a long while, before putting away the scarlet thunder.

“Long time no see, old man.” Just as he waved the red thunder away, a young face suddenly appeared. She was dressed in a red dress, covered in a layer of veil. She had ink black hair that spilled down her back, and a pair of mysterious, black eyes.

As soon as the figure appeared, the old man shrank bank, terror in his eyes. “You… you… you got your memories back?”

“Thanks to you.” Gu Xiqiao stood in mid-air, narrowing her eyes as she looked at the old man, a smile on her lips. “Your thunder didn't kill me.”

“Y-Y-Y-You… ” The old man couldn't form a complete sentence, just looking at Gu Xiqiao, then to her real body that was floating mid air, purple lightning crackling around her. He couldn't understand what was happening. “What's the situation with you right now?”

“Nothing much.” Gu XIqiao lowered her head, looking at the purple lightning that surrounded her body. She sighed. “It's just that, that guy has sent me back. I'm still in spirit form.”

“Spirit?” The old man was taken aback. “Then, you can still return to your body?”

“Nonsense.” Gu Xiqiao raised her head, hooking her fingers at the old man, a smile curling at the edge of her lips. “I say, Old Man Heaven's Will, haven't we been old friends for so many years? He's still in the middle of accepting his inheritance, watch over him, and don't let that old demon make trouble, alright?”

“I came here today to get rid of him!” The old man shook his head immediately when he heard those words. “He's not better than that old demon!”

“Then why don't you do it to that old demon first?” Gu Xiqiao narrowed her eyes dangerously.

The old man looked at Gu Xiqiao, and couldn't help but shudder at the cold glare in her eyes. What was going on, why was he shuddering when he looked at this girl now?

“That old devil doesn't fall under my purview, he was born to be the calamity of this world. There's nothing I can do about it, but that guy inside there doesn't even belong in this world. If I don't get rid of him, who will I get rid off?” The old man shook his head.

Gu Xiqiao scratched her ears. If Luo Wenlang or the others were here, they would know that this gesture of hers meant that she was becoming impatient.

But the old man in front of her was not aware of that at all, and he was still pushing at Gu Xiqiao's limits. She brushed her hair to the back, flashing him a smile. Before the old man could react, she went for his neck directly.

Boom!

The old man wasn't even a physical manifestation, but after being struck by such a blow by Gu Xiqiao, he let out a strangled yell.

He hadn't managed to see Gu Xiqiao's movement, and he just looked at her. “Y-Y-You… How did you do that?”

D*mn, she hadn't trained for so many years, and yet she was still this good?

Gu Xiqiao didn't bother responding to his question, loosening her hand instead. Placing both hands on her chest, she gave him a condescending look. “Old Man Heaven's Will, tell me, yes or no?”

“Are you going to go against me this time again?” The old man felt a headache building behind his eyes.

“Not like it's the first time.” Gu Xiqiao snorted. “Was it less than before?”

As soon as she said that, Heaven's Will was silent for a while. Indeed, since she had met the guy who was inside there, she had become less like herself, even in the end…

After a while, he finally continued talking. “Aren't you afraid that you'll once again be pushed into the cycle of reincarnation?”

“It's not a big deal.” Gu Xiqiao knelt down, looking at the old man. “Isn't it just reincarnation? It's not like I've not been there before? I've even been through hell, why would I be afraid? Enough, is it a yes or no?”

“What if I don't agree?” The old man swallowed heavily, looking at her nervously.

“No? It's fine too.” Gu Xiqiao said flippantly. “At most I'll just seal you, I can at least do that much.”

The old man was speechless, and waved his hand reluctantly. “Fine, I'll agree. But you better come back soon, otherwise this guy will probably stab me the moment he wakes up.”

“You want to kill him even though you're that afraid of him?” Gu Xiqiao shot him a glare, then floated back down to her physical body.

“It's a mission, I just need to take his head before he wakes up.” The old man sighed. He didn't expect Gu Xiqiao to wake up at such a critical juncture. Seriously.

Gu Xiqiao opened her eyes, then moved to stand up. After stretching her limbs, she stood by the Seven-Frosted Blade for a while before moving to leave.

Before leaving, she suddenly recalled something, and pulled out a box from her pocket, handing it to the old man. “This is his power pearl. You just need to fuse it into him before he wakes up.”

The old man took the box, muttering some words under his breath. He then watched Gu Xiqiao leave, but then he couldn't resist opening his mouth.

“Greedy Wolf, was it really worth it? Destroying tens of thousands of years of cultivation, and even losing the position of a star for him?” The old man asked the one question that he had been most concerned about. “The battle that year…”

“Old man, stop it with the nonsense.” Gu Xiqiao chucked. “Those people who have been killing off the people from the Jiang family, those people are your doing, isn't it? I say, why do you hate him so much? The Jiang family are the people of that guy.”

“Who asked him to be so…” The old man wanted to say something more, but stopped halfway, turning around immediately. “Hurry and leave.”

“Alright.” Gu Xiqiao raised an eyebrow, looking at the old man. As she left, she said faintly, “When he wakes up and finds out about all the things that you've done to the Jiang family, you'll probably have to pay a heavy price either way.”

Having said that, the air in front of her fluctuated, and she disappeared.

The old man who had been left behind was jumping on his legs in anxiousness, staring at Jiang Shuxuan who was encased in the huge Seven-Frosted Blade. His voice was bitter as she said, “I can't believe she expects me to protect you! You… I say, aren't you just relying on her to defend you? Seriously, she's done so much for you even though you lost your memories!”

In the ancient martial arts world, Luo Wenlang had already gone to Zhuge Yan's place. News of Gu Xiqiao and Jiang Shuxuan's fall had now spread, and all sorts of forces were emerging. Everyone in the ancient martial arts world was working hard, fighting bloody battles. Right now, there was already a team of people who had broken the outer defense of the ancient martial arts world.

Zhuge Yan was calmly instructing all matters of the ancient martial arts world. Under his guidance, the casualties of the world were at its lowest, but there were constant attacks from mysterious masters. It was a steady stream of enemies one after another, as though there was no end in sight.

Luo Wenlang and Zhuge Yan. These two were currently the strongest brains in the entire ancient martial arts world, and also the strongest generals. Both of them were surrounded by protection all the time.

At this time, the two were in the study, planning their next step.

Someone pushed open the door at the same moment, a horrified expression on his face. “Mr. Luo, a group of people has broken through the outskirts of the Jiang residence. Madam Jiang's life is in danger!”

Bang!

Luo Wenlang looked equally terrified at the news, getting up quickly and heading outside.

Zhuge Yan also stood up quickly. The two were not far from the Jiang residence, it was only a few minutes' walk.

When they reached the Jiang residence, a knife surrounded by a dense cloud of energy was heading for Shu Chen's abdomen. Once the knife reached her…

Both Luo Wenlang and Zhuge Yan opened their mouths to shout, their eyes wide with terror!

As though everything was happening in slow motion, their eyes continued to widen as they watched the knife cloaked in black mist touch Shu Chen's clothes, corroding them to ashes!

“No!”

Jiang Han, who had just reached, yelled out in panic.

“It is my duty to protect my master's relatives.” A voice suddenly said.

The black knife stopped a centimeter before Shu Chen's body, not advancing a single inch after that.

The man in black who was gripping the knife in his hand looked at the young man clad in gray robes that had suddenly appeared in front of him, as surprise flashed across his face. “Who are you?”

Tengen took matters into his own hands the moment he appeared, the blank expression on his face no changing as he lightly waved his hand, instantly killing the man dressed in black. “Tell your master to come directly ask me that question.”

“Thank you, Mr. Tengen!” Jiang Han finally managed to react, hurriedly taking big strides towards Shu Chen, pulling her into his arms, holding her tightly. He looked at Tengen after that, looking as though he wanted to kneel down to show his gratitude.

“No need for thanks.” Tengen smiled. “It's my duty to protect my master's relatives.”

Jiang Han was taken aback when he heard that. “Your master is…”

Before he could complete his sentence, surprise and glee crossed Tengen's face, and he knelt down to the ground with a bang. He faced a direction, excitement clear in his voice as he said, “Master, welcome back!”

Master? Who was this master he was talking about?

Everyone on the scene was surprised. Tengen was already powerful in his own right, and he could be ranked in the top ten of the people in the ancient martial arts world. Now, he was calling someone master, who could it be?

Who was so great that they could be Tengen's master?

This was something even Zhuge Yan couldn't divine.

However, Jiang Han and Shu Chen were feeling emotional at the display. They clearly remembered Tengen's visit to Gu Xiqiao previously.

“Get up from the ground, Tengen.” A clear, melodious voice came from the air.

Everyone could feel the air distort and twist, and then a figure slowly appeared in front of them.

The figure was slender and thin, a jade-like flawless face, with a face as pretty as a picture. Her hair was ink black, lightly fluttering in the wind, and her lips were slightly curled up. A familiar face, and a familiar smile.
