"Mother …"
Wu Chou was dumbfounded. He stared at the old woman, dumbstruck. At this moment, he had the most intense emotional reaction he had ever had in his entire life. It was as if he was wondering if this was really his mother. How could his mother say something like this?
The old woman looked at her son's cold and expressionless face. At this moment, a look of astonishment appeared on his face. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was agape. She couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness in her heart.
She reached out her ghostly claw-like hand and caressed Wu Chou's handsome face. "Chou 'er, you're so handsome. Don't worry that no girl will like you. If you can't find one, I'll find one for you. He even managed to trick Duke Jiu's granddaughter. He must have some tricks up his sleeve! "
Wu Chou's mouth opened even wider. It was as if he could swallow a mountain.
"Don't worry about owing him anything. That kid is going to fight against the six major factions in Taijing City. With Mother looking after him, he will probably wake up smiling from his dreams."
As the old woman spoke, her ghost-like hand slowly filled up and became smooth again. It was no longer coarse, and it was no longer ice-cold. There was a faint warmth to it.
Wu Chou could clearly feel this change. His heart trembled as he hurriedly replied, "Yes, Mother! I will definitely bring a … aunt back as soon as possible! "
He said the last few words very quickly, and his cold face turned red in an instant.
This made Wu Qing and Wu Zhuo look as if they had seen a ghost. They were completely dumbfounded. They almost slapped themselves to prove it.
While the old woman felt sad, she also sensed her son's great joy. She had broken free from her hatred. She was no longer so scary and unreasonable. Her son was almost wild with joy. He actually said the words that should have never come out of his mouth.
"It's not too late!" She thought to herself.
Then, she said gently to Wu Chou, "Chou 'er, go!"
"Yes, Mother!"
After Wu Chou agreed, he hesitated for a while. In the end, he told his mother to take care and left.
The old woman looked in the direction of her son's departure and did not retract her gaze for a long time. Beside her, Wu Qing and Wu Zhuo asked, "Mistress, is it worth it to bet so much on Chu Yang?"
"Qing 'er, Zhuo' er, have you seen anyone who can comprehend the profundities of the Witchcraft Dao and enter the Witchcraft State in an instant?!"
As soon as the old woman said this, the two of them fell silent.
…
Tai Capital City, Qi Manor!
Late at night, Huangfu Xuan was still awake.
He was waiting, waiting for the various forces to be sent out, waiting to confirm whether Chu Yang was dead or alive.
To him, this was naturally very important. Only by confirming the life and death of this country bumpkin, Chu Yang, could he carry out the next step of his plan.
His next move was very simple, to frame someone — he would frame Wu Ce, Wang Lingyun, Xie Xiubo, and the others for Chu Yang's death. As for Chen Buqun, he had already ignored him.
Although that country bumpkin, Chu Yang, was not popular, Huangfu Xuan felt that Chu Yang's words were correct: Chen Buqun was indeed not popular.
The benefits of doing this were also very simple. The Divine Fragrance Talent Shangguan Lan was not only Chu Yang's fiancée, but she also loved that country bumpkin. Once it was confirmed that Wu Ce, Wang Lingyun, and Xie Xiubo disliked killing that country bumpkin, the result would be interesting —
Killing that country bumpkin, Chu Yang, was equivalent to killing Shangguan Lan's husband!
Although Huangfu Xuan did not want to make such a comparison, there was not much difference between this and the truth. With such a comparison, the matter was very simple: As a woman, Shangguan Lan would definitely hate Wu Ce and the others for killing her husband, let alone marry the person who killed her husband!
In this way, Huangfu Xuan's competitors in Tai Capital City would be mostly eliminated. In addition, he could even use the country bumpkin's death to put in a lot of effort to track down the murderer.
Not only could he show his magnanimity, but he could also gain Shangguan Lan's favor. He might even be able to win the heart of the beauty!
