Just an hour ago, Gu Fan had woken up to Madam Li's deep, lingering kiss in her massive canopy bed.
There she had whispered the news to him with a wicked smile:
"They found Chen Long's body at the main gates. The whole estate is in an absolute uproar."
After that, they had engaged in a very energetic morning session before she finally told him, "Get dressed, my sweet stepson. It's time to play our parts."
Now, the sun was high, and the Gu Clan was a turning the gears to counter the situation they found themselves in.
And for the same in the Council Hall, the clan elders had gathered.
The atmosphere inside the massive hall was suffocating.
Patriarch Gu Yangtian sat on the high throne, radiating the oppressive aura of the 8th Stage of the Origin Realm.
Despite his immense power, his physical appearance was deceiving.
The Patriarch was a very lean, almost skinny man draped in heavy green robes.
