One week later in the Gu Clan Plaza.
It had been a week since Gu Fan quietly buried his mother in a serene piece of land outside the Gu Clan, on the outskirts of the Venom Forest. He did not want his this world mother to stay even after death in this clan which never accepted her, and he husband who did not even know of her death.
But now that he had fulfilled his duty as her son, it was time to focus on other things.
Gu Fan wanted to go search for the Blue Ghost Fire that very same day, but for the last seven days, the Gu Clan estate had been locked down, suffocating under a heavy blanket of paranoia.
The guards patrolled the clan all day and night without a break, as the lockdown had tightened to an extreme degree.
As the patrols had doubled, maids, servants, and even the younger generation were strictly barred from leaving the gates.
