Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 482: Father-Daughter Bond?

Gu Zhi stared intently at Gu Yuan, the corners of his somewhat dry lips slightly curling, "Let me guess why you have two faces..."

Gu Zhi’s voice drifted lightly into Gu Yuan’s ears, and Gu Yuan instantly felt somewhat uneasy.

Yet Gu Zhi continued speaking on his own, "If I’m not mistaken, the Divine Clan’s eldest miss has arrived, right?"

A faint smile hung on Gu Zhi’s face. Though his complexion was pale, his eyes were bright and shining like stars.

It’s truly ironic; in one moment, his own biological father wants to take his life, and in the next, he pulls him out from that Infinite Hell, claiming that after all, he is her biological father and can’t bring himself to harm her.

Ha, if it weren’t for Xia Mian, she’d probably be dead by now!

Would Gu Yuan have pulled her out then?

Gu Yuan didn’t deny Gu Zhi’s words but squinted slightly, "Since you’ve already guessed, I’ll add no more. The Divine Clan’s eldest miss is here to see you. You know what to do, right?"

Gu Yuan’s gaze turned cold, and when he looked again at Gu Zhi, his eyes carried a hint of warning.

Gu Zhi looked deeply at Gu Yuan for a moment, his lips gently curling up, "I know."

This is his biological father, huh!

He is threatening him!

Even though this matter is entirely his fault!

"If you know, tidy yourself up and go see her!" Gu Yuan’s voice was indifferent, without a trace of guilt on his face.

After all, Gu Zhi bears the surname Gu.

If Gu Zhi dares to defy his wishes, he can easily expel Gu Zhi from the Gu Family!

In the Gu Family’s territory, trying to confront him, he’ll make Gu Zhi realize who the real master of the Gu Family is!

"I have an elixir here for you to take. It will ensure you appear normal for an hour," Gu Yuan said while kindly taking out an elixir.

Gu Zhi didn’t even take a proper look at the elixir, slowly sitting up, "Such a precious elixir given by father would be a waste. I don’t need it."

Gu Zhi said as he put on a coat, his eyes on Gu Yuan, "Let’s go! Keeping esteemed guests waiting is not good."

Seeing Gu Zhi with a pale face, yet unwilling to accept the elixir he offered, Gu Yuan’s expression sank once again.

If Gu Zhi went to see Xia Mian in this state, isn’t it clear that she’s having a hard time at the Gu Family?

This is making himself look bad in front of Xia Mian!

Gu Yuan’s expression turned icy, his gaze coldly pinned on Gu Zhi, "Ah Zhi, I’m warning you again, be cautious with your words and actions. Otherwise, if the Gu Family faces disaster, you won’t remain unaffected either!"

Gu Zhi met Gu Yuan’s cold stare with a leisurely smile, "You are the Gu Family Head; what are you afraid of?"

Gu Yuan’s face darkened, gritting his teeth, squeezing out a sentence, "In hindsight, the Gu Family shouldn’t have taken you in!"

Gu Zhi wore a nonchalant smile, "You know better than anyone why I came to the Gu Family."

His gaze fell on Gu Yuan’s face, his demeanor more relaxed than ever, "Everything has cause and effect. Whatever cause you sowed then, I’m here to deliver the effect."

Gu Yuan seethed, "You!"

Though his lungs were almost bursting with anger at Gu Zhi, Gu Yuan didn’t dare raise a fist against him.

After all, Gu Zhi was now very weak, unable to withstand the slightest storm.

"Father had better treat me a bit more kindly. After all, the Divine Clan’s eldest miss and I have gone through life and death together. If she sees how you treat me, I fear..." Gu Zhi chuckled softly, leaving the rest unsaid, but Gu Yuan understood the implication.

Gu Yuan’s face darkened further, and he left the room, sweeping his sleeve.

If Xia Mian weren’t sitting in the drawing room, he wouldn’t have wanted to face Gu Zhi at all!

Gu Yuan left in a fit of anger, but Gu Zhi’s smile grew even more pronounced.

Her luck really isn’t too bad.

She thought her situation was hopeless, yet she encountered a twist of fate.

Xia Mian still cares for her. Xia Mian came to see her.

Gu Zhi took a deep breath, tidying herself up briefly, and then she exited the room.

After all, Gu Zhi now counts as a cultivator. Even though injured, after Gu Yuan fished her out and administered many nurturing medicines, she’s not so badly injured that she can’t get out of bed.

When Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan were drinking their third cup of tea in the Gu Family’s drawing room, there was finally a stir at the door.

Xia Mian turned to look and saw Gu Yuan’s pallid face.

Gu Yuan stood at the door but didn’t enter; he kept glancing back repeatedly.

Xia Mian lightly squinted her eyes, raised her teacup again, and slowly sipped, her gaze gently settling on Gu Yuan.

Although Xia Mian’s gaze carried no hostility, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but tremble all over.

"Gu Family Head, you are the host; I am the guest. Isn’t this like the tail wagging the dog?" Xia Mian lightly took a sip of tea, said in a casual tone.

"The eldest miss jests. In the entire Mystical World, it’s always your call, not to mention my humble Gu Family." Gu Yuan awkwardly responded with a smile, still glancing continuously.

Finally, Gu Zhi appeared in his field of vision.

Gu Zhi was very thin, wearing a white long dress in the still chilly weather, walking over leisurely.

The wind lifted her skirt, outlining her frail figure, exuding a kind of delicate beauty.

But Gu Yuan wasn’t in the mood to appreciate Gu Zhi’s beauty now.

He only thought Gu Zhi was deliberately making him look bad!

Taking a deep breath, Gu Yuan forced himself to restrain from exploding.

He can’t afford to provoke Xia Mian, can’t afford to provoke Lu Zechuan, must endure, must endure!

Gu Zhi walked weakly into the drawing room, bringing in a hint of chill.

Xia Mian looked up, lightly furrowing her brows, "Why did you let yourself get like this?"

Gu Zhi chuckled, "Probably because I’m too curious. Curiosity always kills the cat."

With a stern face, Gu Yuan still interjected, "Ah Zhi was in seclusion a few days ago and failed, suffering a backlash."

After a pause, Gu Yuan sighed, "Originally, I didn’t want Ah Zhi to go out and meet guests like this, but since the eldest miss wanted to see her, avoiding her would be against etiquette."

Xia Mian glanced at Gu Yuan without speaking.

But Gu Zhi chuckled, "I am truly happy that the eldest miss came to see me."

Gu Zhi stepped in, seated herself across from Xia Mian, poured a cup of tea for herself, raised it high, and offered a distant toast to Xia Mian, "Meeting Miss Xia in this lifetime has been my luck! Using tea as a substitute for wine, I welcome Miss Xia as a guest at my Gu Family!"
