Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again
Chapter 391 - Chapter 391 Chapter 391 Backlash

Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Backlash Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Backlash “Ning Wanru… you go… tell him,” she said, “the Curse of Extinction… has been broken, let him bring the Spirit Talisman to save me, otherwise… if I die, you all… will be finished…”

“How could the talisman be discovered? Didn’t you say it was foolproof?” Ning Wanru gasped, lowering her voice as she questioned him.

“It has… backfired, I and you…” Tian Sanxian struggled to utter a few words, then there was no more sound.

If it were not for the heaving of his chest, he would have been no different from a dead man.

And Ning Wanru was truly startled.

She knew everything about the events of that year.

She and he had searched Gu Garden for a month and had not found the location of the Gu Qingfeng’s Treasure Room.

They also knew that as the Gu Family started with carvings and Mechanical Techniques, the place where important things were kept definitely had secret mechanisms and passageways.

They dared not rashly smash or tamper with anything, fearing it would arouse suspicion.

So, he had asked her to find Tian Sanxian.

They had buried the Curse of Extinction under the Old Locust Tree, which represented the feng shui vital spot of Gu Garden.

Only, Tian Sanxian had said the talisman was malicious, and breaking it could easily cause backlash.

Thus, someone had to share the responsibility with her.

And that person was Ning Wanru, so Tian Sanxian had taken a drop of blood from her fingertip.

At the time, she hadn’t cared much.

Because unless one dug three feet into the ground for no reason, no one would find it.

Moreover, Tian Sanxian said that even if the talisman was discovered, as long as it wasn’t broken, it would still function.

At the time, she didn’t take it seriously.

But now, hearing Tian Sanxian’s words, she was terrified.

It is said that the guilty are afraid even when no one knocks on their door.

The Ning Wanru standing there knew what she had done, which nearly caused her to collapse to the ground.

Recalling recent events, she dared not delay any longer, quickly stood up, steadied her emotions, glanced once more at the still unconscious Tian Sanxian, and then turned and walked toward the door.

After having a brief conversation with Tian Ling, telling her she would return in a few days, Ning Wanru did not even go home but instead had Steward Wu drive her straight to the residence of that man.

By now, it was almost dusk.

This mansion was located on a hillside in East Mountain at the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.

Access to this place required a special pass.

There were guards stationed at the gate.

There was some distance from the foot of the mountain.

Ning Wanru had Steward Wu wait for her outside while she walked up ahead.

There was no one around for miles in this area.

She wondered why he had chosen to live here.

Was it because this place was safe?

Ning Wanru, panting heavily, climbed up the hillside.

There was a plain house made of blue bricks halfway up the mountain.

The house was ordinary, surrounded by tall pine trees in the front and back.

Yet, the security here was extremely tight.

At key positions, there were watchtowers manned by exceptionally skilled bodyguards.

She leaned on her cane and sat down on a wicker chair in the courtyard.

At this time, there was also an old man here.

He was tall, dressed in a set of white traditional silk jacket and trousers.

With a head full of white hair, his vigorous demeanor had quite the air of a sage about him.

As he watered the flowers in the corridor, he glanced at Ning Wanru, slightly furrowing his brows unnoticed, “Why have you come again?”

“I need to see you,” Ning Wanru said, drinking a sip of green tea a bit irritably.

“What has happened?”

“The talisman buried under the big tree has been broken, Tian Sanxian is in the hospital, unconscious. She asked me to bring you a few words.”

Seeing the other party’s calm demeanor, Ning Wanru felt somewhat reassured.
