nGu Zongxiong roared behind her. Gu Bailu rolled her eyes. Such a useless father meant nothing to her.

nGu Zongxiong was just a descendant of a small family. He was rather talented and became a Master at 18.

nThe spiritual power in this world had to be cultivated level by level. A Master was level 20, a Grandmaster was level 40, and then it was Great Swordsman, Sword Elder, Sword Deity and Sword Heavenly God.

nNormal people advanced at a rate of one level each year. It would take them twenty years to become a Master. Most of them started training after they turned three.

nSo, while Gu Zongxiong wasn’t necessarily an unparalleled genius because he became a Master at 18, he was better than most people.

nHe happened to save Gu Bailu’s grandfather, who believed that he had potential, and married his only daughter to Gu Zongxiong.

nThus, Gu Zongxiong was actually living in his father-in-law’s house.

nWhen his father-in-law was alive, Gu Zongxiong cherished his wife, but after his father-in-law passed away, Gu Zongxiong began to have all kinds of affairs. He even hooked up with his wife’s maid.

nAt that time, Gu Bailu had just been born, and her mother hadn’t recovered from the birth. She became sick after finding out that her maid slept with her husband.

nBy the time Gu Bailu was 2, her mother died from her fury.

nSoon after Gu Bailu’s mother passed away, the ungrateful Gu Zongxiong turned the maid into his new wife and started his new life.

nThe previous owner of her body, fooled by Gu Wanqin and her mother, was very close to them.

nLittle did she know that if the woman really were a good person, she wouldn’t have slept with her lady’s husband.

nGu Bailu wasn’t going to give in. This was her mother’s house. The rest of them should get lost.

nWhen she passed the garden, she saw Gu Wanqin with a few maids. The woman was wearing a white dress and walking gracefully. Her maid mother had taught her well.

n“Sister!” She hurried over and asked in concern, “Are you alright, Sister? Did Prince Zi hurt you?”

n“If Prince Zi hurt me, would I be standing here?” Gu Bailu was amused.

n“Sister, you’re truly lucky. Even Prince Zi himself doesn’t dislike you. No one in Pale Emperor City will laugh at you anymore.” Gu Wanqin seemed rather happy.

nGu Bailu patted her shoulder. “Are you not tired after pretending for so many years, Third Sister?”

nGu Wanqin’s face changed slightly. “What are you talking about?”

n“Third Sister, I won’t lie, but my brain isn’t stuffed with grass. You still want to be my good sister after pushing me off a cliff?”

nGu Wanqin had thought everything was finished after she pushed Gu Bailu off the cliff herself.

n“Sister, how can you say that? When did I ever do that? I was only going to marry Xuanchen because you had your accident…”

nGu Bailu patted her head again. “It must be difficult playing innocent for so many years. Everybody in Pale Emperor City thinks you’re kind and gentle. You better keep it up, but don’t be depressed now that I’m not cooperating with you anymore.”

nGu Bailu burst into laughter.

nGu Wanqin clenched her fists hard. “If I can kill you once, I can kill you countless times more.”
