Chapter 497: Chapter 497

Unexpectedly, with a forceful move from the man, the girl suddenly lost her balance and threw herself into Gu Yelin’s arms.

"It seems Tutu is so eager to throw herself into my arms, well, I won’t leave tonight," he mused.

No sooner had his voice faded than with a vigorous pull, the girl was in his embrace, and the soft silk quilt covered them both.

What followed was a room filled with tender affection and warmth.

...

The next morning, a shocking piece of news exploded across Xuandu City.

The famous Canglang Sect was blood-washed overnight, and more than sixty of its locations in Xuandu were destroyed! Not only that, but Tan Bing, the Canglang Sect’s Family Head, and all the high-ranking officials disappeared completely overnight!

As the news spread, all of Xuandu was stunned!

Canglang Sect, second only to the Muyun Society in Xuandu, was a major force in the martial arts community. Although it didn’t control Xiluo Continent like the Muyun Society did, the Canglang Sect was still a deeply established local power.

And to think, it was wiped clean overnight?

Everyone’s eyes nearly popped out of their heads! They couldn’t help but speculate about who could wield such incredible power to wipe out the Canglang Sect in one night?

Moreover, with whom did the Canglang Sect have such deep grudges?

While the outside world buzzed with various speculations, inside the An Family Villa, peace and tranquility prevailed as always.

In the dining room, the An Family members and Gu Yelin quietly ate their breakfast.

"Eh? Why hasn’t Niuniu gotten up yet?" An Zhihang glanced at his watch, puzzled, "Could she be sick? She went to bed early last night!"

An Zisheng immediately grew anxious upon hearing this.

"I’ll go check on her!" he said, putting down his chopsticks and preparing to leave.

At that moment, Gu Yelin spoke seriously, "Last night, she went out with me to take care of something and came back late."

As he finished speaking, the gaze of a few men from the An Family landed on him.

Old Master An furrowed his brows, his eyes gleaming thoughtfully.

"Let Niuniu sleep a little longer. She’s a doctor; she can take care of herself," Old Master An said as he finished his last bite of bun. Then he stood up leisurely, and before leaving, he gave Gu Yelin a meaningful look, "Lao San, come to my study after breakfast. I need to talk to you."

Gu Yelin nodded nonchalantly, his heart filled with the thought of the sleeping girl, his eyes brimming with tenderness.

After the meal, in the study.

Old Master An sat at the head of the room while Gu Yelin took a seat on the opposite sofa. Sensing something unusual, the three An family men stubbornly followed.

"The Canglang Sect was blood-washed last night. Have you heard about this?" Elder An asked, lifting his eyelids to give Gu Yelin a casual glance.

Upon hearing this, An Zisheng and his sons An Zhihang and An Zhiyan’s eyes immediately shifted to Gu Yelin, full of scrutiny.

"I did it," Gu Yelin admitted without any concealment. There was no need to hide it. It was better for the men of the An Family to be aware of such matters.

As expected, as soon as Gu Yelin finished speaking, An Zhihang and An Zhiyan burst into applause.

"Good! Lao San, you did a great job! Letting them bully Niuniu, hmph! Next time something like this happens, take us with you! Wipe them out completely!" An Zhihang and An Zhiyan remembered the scene of fighting alongside Gu Yelin, their blood boiling with excitement.

An Zisheng saw his two sons getting carried away and kicked each one of them.

"What’s this nonsense? Act properly!" he scolded An Zhihang and An Zhiyan fiercely before turning to Gu Yelin, his face stern, "Lao San, I am deeply moved by your intention to protect Niuniu. But have you considered the consequences of blood-washing the Canglang Sect? If someone with an agenda catches wind of this, it could implicate not just you, but also Old Master Gu and the entire Gu Family."

What Gu Yelin did indeed moved An Zisheng deeply. As the second generation of the An Family, An Zisheng was never a particularly saintly person. In dealing with enemies, he always believed in the principle of thorough retaliation. Therefore, An Zisheng was moved by what Gu Yelin did last night; he felt no remorse.

His words made sense. If someone caught onto this incident, even the mighty Gu Family couldn’t silence the murmurs of the crowd.

An Zhihang and An Zhiyan also saw the risks involved and started to worry.

Gu Yelin calmly addressed everyone, "There will be no problems. I will not let the Gu Family or Qing suffer any injustice."

Just a simple sentence from the man reassured all the men of the An Family.

A man true to his word needs no promises, no guarantees; just a simple "I will protect her" is proof enough of everything.

With this matter resolved, a weight lifted from Old Master An’s heart. He looked at Gu Yelin and said with relief, "Impressive for someone so young. Lao San, if there’s trouble, you must tell us. Although the An Family might not be as powerful as the Gu Family, we should be united at a time like this."

Gu Yelin nodded, then, as if recalling something, he added softly, "There’s someone behind Canglang Sect, a powerful force to be reckoned with. Everyone, be cautious."

The An Family men were taken aback, their brows furrowing.

They had thought of the Canglang Sect as just a local power in the martial arts community, but it seemed...

Suddenly, the situation in Xuandu became even more enigmatic.
