The cries, curses, and pleas of Gu Xiuzhen echoed endlessly in the courtyard.
"Commander Gu! May you die a cruel death! You deny all your kin!"
"Gu Yanshen! You ungrateful wretch! Even as a ghost, I won't spare you!"
She turned her head viciously toward Lin Wan Yi, her gaze venomous like a snake.
"Lin Wan Yi! You bringer of misfortune! I curse you! I curse your whole family to die cruel deaths!"
The voice dragged further and further away.
Until the courtyard gate slammed shut with a "bang."
Gu Xiuzhen's final curses were completely cut off.
The entire world went silent.
At the kitchen door, there was a scene of chaos.
The surrounding guests didn't dare to breathe heavily.
Commander Gu's face, weathered by time, was dark enough to drip water.
He didn't look at anyone else and instead turned around.
Step by step, he walked back in front of Lin Wan Yi.
Every gaze in the room followed him.
