Chapter 1053: Gu Chen’s Elder Sisters?; HOW DARE THEY?!!

The day before, after he was told that he would be one of the people standing guard at the Gu family, he had dug out the information related to the Gu family and Gu Chen. Therefore he knew how Gu Chen had suddenly reached the Bone Tempering realm.

However, thinking he had gotten some opportunity, he didn’t think much about it and had naturally thought that since he had just advanced, he had thought he would be in the early-stage of the Bone Tempering realm. So when he saw him effortlessly kill mid-stage Bone Tempering cultivators, he was quite shocked because only a Late Stage Bone Tempering realm cultivator could do it.

But that shock was nothing compared to what he was feeling at this moment. Because the instant Max patted his shoulder, he realized that he had guessed wrong, Max wasn’t a late stage Bone Tempering cultivator, instead…

‘Marrow Cleansing realm…!’ He murmured inwardly.

…

Not long after Max entered the Gu Estate, Zhao Ziyan, Gu Ruolan and Gu Lan came rushing over.

Zhao Ziyan, filled with concern, looked him up and down. Only when she saw he wasn’t injured did she sigh in relief. Then she asked in confusion, “Did you… not go to the Liu Family?”

When she checked him, she didn’t notice just the absence of injuries, she also noticed that there was not a single drop of blood on his clothes, nor did it look that he had exerted himself much. This confused her and inwardly she felt a bit disappointed too because she really wanted the Liu family to cease to exist. But she also understood why he might have chosen not to—

Before she could finish this thought, Max said, “I did go and save for five people, I slaughtered every living person there…”

He briefly explained everything that he did in the past hour.

“Liu Bashui escaped?” Zhao Ziyan frowned but decided to release a search warrant for him. Unless he left the Red City, sooner or later he would be found out. Then they could easily take him out.

She then looked at him and asked, “You said you spared Liu Shuang and her family? Why?”

“Because she claimed that she had helped one of my Elder Sisters.” said Max, then asked, “When was the last time you had contact with them?”

Zhao Ziyan and Gu Ruolan exchanged a glance, then she answered, “Two and half years ago… before your father’s death.”

‘Mm?’ Max’s brows furrowed and his mind whirled as he recalled the time he—Gu Chen—had spent with those two Elder Sisters of his.

“Something’s wrong. It’s unlike them to forget us just because our family’s situation worsened.” He murmured, then looked at Zhao Ziyan, “Could it be their families?”

Zhao Ziyan nodded, “I think so. Otherwise they would have definitely come after getting the news of their father’s passing.”

“Ding and Yun families, huh?” A cold glint flashed in Max’s eyes. Then he said, “Mother, send a letter to both these families and invite them tomorrow. Mention that I have reached the Marrow Cleansing realm otherwise they might not come.”

He was sure they had gotten the news of him reaching the Bone Tempering realm and assuming the position of the Patriarch. And if he wasn’t wrong, the reason they had yet to reach out was because they thought he wouldn’t survive for long since he had become the target of the people who coveted his opportunity that allowed such a drastic transformation in him.

But when they hear he had reached the Marrow Cleansing realm, adding with the fact he had invited them, they would have no choice but to come.

“Okay.” Zhao Ziyan nodded in acknowledgement.

“Big Brother… What about Grandpa Lichen? Did you not find him in the Liu family?” Gu Lan, her eyes red from crying because of the First Elder’s family’s death, asked. Zhao Ziyan and Gu Ruolan’s gazes focused.

When he told them how he had killed the Liu family’s people, he didn’t mention the First Elder, Gu Lichen, who should be in the Liu family.

Max’s expression became overcast as the image of Gu Lichen’s bloody corpse flashed in his mind.

“First Elder… he is no more.” He said and the trio’s expression fell. Gu Lan even began sobbing again. After knowing Gu Lichen was forced to betray them, she could no longer hate him and the memories of the times he cared for her, she played with him, he guided her cultivation etc. made her heart clench in sadness.

“What about his corpse?” Zhao Ziyan asked after taking a deep breath.

“That Liu Shuang will bring it here.” Just a few seconds after he said this, a voice called out from the Estate’s gate.

“Patriarch Gu, this sinner of the Liu family is here to ask for your esteemed Gu Family’s forgiveness.”

They walked over to the gate and saw Liu Shuang, carrying a corpse covered with white cloth, standing kneeling there with her family of four.

…

In the heavy silence of the family’s cemetery, the First Elder and his family were buried. Then in front of everyone, Liu Shuang and her family knelt in front of their graves.

“Elder Gu Lichen… This Shuang is guilty. I couldn’t stop my Patriarch and Liu Bashui.” Liu Shuang apologised.

The Gu Family’s people watched her coldly and couldn’t wait to tear them apart in revenge. They even felt it was disrespectful to the First Elder and his family that she was allowed to apologise like this. But since their Patriarch and other authority figures were allowing her, they said nothing.

Not long after, in the main hall of the Patriarch’s residence… all the Elders and the main line members were sitting in their seats and watched Liu Shuang, who was kneeling before Max and was recounting how she had indeed helped his Elder Sister.

As they heard her, Max, Zhao Ziyan and others’ expressions slowly darkened.

“HOW DARE THEY?!!” Zhao Ziyan shouted even before Liu Shuang finished speaking, shaking in rage.
