Gu Le was completely bewitched by Qin Shuirou. In order to ensure that he could keep Qin Shuirou, Gu Le was even willing to do something like drugging Qin Shuirou.
Looking at his son, the head of the Gu Family didn't know what to say. Logically speaking, being bewitched by a woman was a shameful thing. As a father, he should be angry. However, he had met Qin Shuirou before. Such a woman was indeed enough to make any man lose the ability to resist.
The head of the Gu Family took a deep breath and thought to himself, I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse. Sigh ….
Knowing how much Gu Le valued Qin Shuirou, the head of the Gu Family didn't stop Gu Le from doing this. Instead, he repeatedly reminded Gu Le to be careful.
To be honest, the head of the Gu Family had his own selfish motives. He really hoped that Qin Shuirou could become the daughter-in-law of the Gu Family.
Thinking about it, it would be a great honor for a powerful and beautiful woman to become the daughter-in-law of the Gu Family.
After receiving his father's approval, Gu Le quickly went to prepare. There were many opportunities for him to drug Qin Shuirou, so he wasn't worried. However, he couldn't let Qin Shuirou find out about this. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome. Therefore, Gu Le was very cautious.
Unfortunately, just as Gu Le was about to carry out his plan, a group of outsiders came to Gu City.
There were a total of twenty to thirty people in this group, and they wore the same clothes. Clearly, they were from the same force. The people of the Bai Mo Continent were definitely familiar with the identity of this group of people because they were all from the overlord of the Bai Mo Continent, the Bai Mo Sacred Sect.
Baimo Shengzong was the only Saint Sect on the Bai Mo Continent. It could be said that they had been the overlord of the Bai Mo Continent for many years.
On this day, a Baimo Shengzong Dao Emperor led the Baimo Shengzong's group into Gu City.
Baimo Shengzong's men appeared in Little Gu City for no other reason than to search for Qin Shuirou's whereabouts.
Just like the other human clans, Baimo Shengzong had received a bounty from the Sacred Palace as well. Moreover, Xiao Chen had even specially sent a Dao King Realm attendant to the Hundred Mo Continent so that he could obtain information about the continent as soon as possible.
Of course, it wasn't just the Bai Mo Continent. There were also people from the Sacred Palace stationed on many other continents. In order to find Qin Shuirou, Xiao Chen had spared no expense.
After receiving the bounty from the Sacred Palace, Baimo Shengzong sent out several teams to conduct a carpet search on the Hundred Mo Continent.
Because Gu City was far away, Baimo Shengzong's men had been drawn here today.
They directly entered the city. After that, the Dao Emperor led by Baimo Shengzong went straight to the Gu Clan. At the same time, he ordered his subordinates to take a portrait of Qin Shuirou and ask around Gu City if anyone had seen this person.
The Gu Clan was the number one clan in Gu City and the only clan. The Gu Clan had always been in charge of all matters in Gu City, big and small.
So, Baimo Shengzong's group naturally went to the Gu Clan as soon as they arrived.
The Dao Emperor quickly arrived at the Gu Clan with two of Baimo Shengzong's disciples. His name was Zhou Fan. He was very serious about searching for Qin Shuirou because he knew what benefits Baimo Shengzong would receive if he could find Qin Shuirou.
He led his group directly to the Gu Clan. When the patriarch of the Gu Clan heard that Zhou Fan had come to visit, he personally welcomed him and respectfully invited Zhou Fan to the main hall. He even took the initiative to give up the main seat.
Zhou Fan didn't stand on ceremony and directly sat down on the main seat. As the owner of this place, the patriarch of the Gu Clan could sit to Zhou Fan's left.
The patriarch of the Gu Clan bowed respectfully to Zhou Fan and asked carefully, "Elder Zhou, may I know why you've come to Gu City? If there's a need, my Gu Clan wouldn't dare to disobey. "
With Zhou Fan's status, he naturally wouldn't come all the way to this small Gu City if there wasn't a need. So, the patriarch of the Gu Clan cleverly expressed the Gu Clan's determination and was willing to listen to all of Zhou Fan's commands.
Zhou Fan nodded in satisfaction when he saw the patriarch of the Gu Clan's attitude. Zhou Fan also intended to inquire about Qin Shuirou from the patriarch of the Gu Clan.
Zhou Fan said indifferently as he looked at the patriarch of the Gu Clan.
"Patriarch Gu, I'm only here to look for a person. Have you seen this woman in Gu City? Or have you seen any unfamiliar faces in Gu City recently, especially young women? "
As the local tyrant of Gu City, the Gu Clan naturally knew everything that happened in Gu City. So, it was definitely the right thing to ask the Gu Clan about Qin Shuirou.
As he spoke, Zhou Fan took out a portrait of Qin Shuirou and showed it to the patriarch of the Gu Clan.
The patriarch of the Gu Clan thought that he was looking for someone, but when he saw the person in the portrait clearly, he was immediately stunned. How is this possible? How can it be her ….
The person in the portrait was none other than Qin Shuirou, who was currently in the Gu Clan.
He had long guessed that Qin Shuirou's identity was extraordinary, but the patriarch of the Gu Clan clearly didn't expect Qin Shuirou's identity to be so terrifying.
Even Baimo Shengzong personally sent people to look for her. Moreover, when Zhou Fan mentioned Qin Shuirou, both his tone and expression were extremely respectful. It felt as if even Zhou Fan couldn't afford to offend this woman.
Even Zhou Fan couldn't afford to offend her, let alone the Gu Clan. For a moment, the patriarch of the Gu Clan had mixed feelings in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Zhou Fan.
What a joke. If someone that even Zhou Fan couldn't afford to offend found out that the Gu Clan had secretly hidden Qin Shuirou, what would the consequences be? Would Zhou Fan destroy the Gu Clan in a fit of anger?
His heart was in turmoil. Of course, the patriarch of the Gu Clan didn't know that Zhou Fan's attitude towards Qin Shuirou was no longer as simple as not being able to offend him. It was as if he was a god.
Everyone knew that Qin Shuirou was the wife of the First Chosen of the Sacred Palace, Xiao Chen. That was the Chosen Xiao Chen, who could be considered a group of people standing at the top of the North Star Realm. A single word from Xiao Chen was enough to destroy any force in the North Star Realm. How could Zhou Fan not respect him as a god?
His heart was in turmoil, and the cold sweat on his back had already soaked his clothes. However, on the surface, the patriarch of the Gu Clan still forced himself to remain calm and replied to Zhou Fan with a bow.
"Sir, I have never seen the woman in the portrait. During this period, no unfamiliar young women have appeared in Gu City. Perhaps this woman isn't in Gu City."
After weighing the pros and cons, the patriarch of the Gu Clan still didn't dare to tell Zhou Fan that Qin Shuirou was in the Gu Clan. After all, this wasn't a joke. If they weren't careful, the entire Gu Clan could be destroyed.
