I Am Born With A Silver Spoon -
Chapter 659 Turning His Trick to My Own Use
Gu Yuxiao began her narration.
As it turned out, everything was set up as a trap in the beginning to lure Chen Hao in.
Other than being assigned the task to look for the lady in white in the Sea Palace, Gu Yuxiao was instructed to capture Chen Hao without being noticed and bring him back to the Gu Family. Therefore, she had acted as though she was injured to attract Chen Hao's attention, and to make him pity her.
At first, she had decided to act according to plan. However, Chen Hao had managed to move her unexpectedly by his meticulousness.
That was why she could not bear to kill him.
In the end, the two of them went to Sea Palace together.
The elderly lady was none other than the Master of the Gu Family, who was Gu Yuxiao's great-grandmother.
The great-grandmother knew Chen Hao's weaknesses, and she managed to inflict grave injuries on him by using the Spirit Flower.
She was worried she would get him killed. Therefore, the great-grandmother had locked up some parts of her skills inside her body.
At that time, the great-grandmother was about to take action.
Gu Yuxiao had pushed back strands of her hair and gave her great-grandmother a look as a warning for her to not harm Chen Hao. Otherwise, she would kill herself right in front of her. She had sent out signals several times to stop her great-grandmother from doing anything.
Enraged, her great-grandmother had pretended that she was injured and left.
However, her great-grandmother wanted to make sure that Chen Hao didn't replace out the whereabouts of the lady in white.
In fact, the structure of the Sea Palace was built according to how the Spirit Flower was made.
Inside the Sea Palace, there were two realms which were exactly the same as each other.
Therefore, the great-grandmother had utilized a secret skill at the entrance of the Sea Palace, leading Chen Hao into another unknown realm.
As for Gu Yuxiao, she was brought by her great-grandmother to the real Sea Palace. They then took away the body of the lady in white.
"I've got it. However, I'm still puzzled by one thing. Back then, my men hadn't detected any traces of both of you in the waters!" said Chen Hao.
"A very complicated secret is kept in the Spirit Flower. Not only can it cause disturbances to one's spiritual energy, it can also cause a certain level of disruption to the magnetic field. Using the Spirit Flower as cover, great-grandmother could make us invisible even if someone was right in front of us," explained Gu Yuxiao.
"Why is your family trying so hard to replace the body of the lady in white? Also, why is your family trying to capture me?" asked Chen Hao at last.
"My great-grandmother has only briefly mentioned to me before about the fact that you're closely related to the lady in white, and there is a huge secret waiting to be unravelled between the both of you. Whoever that possesses this secret will be able to control a very powerful force!"
"A secret?"
Chen Hao was baffled.
No wonder the King of Nine Doors had been eyeing him all the while. Now, the Gu Family was going after him too.
As it turned out, they were actually aiming for the secret.
However, what secret could he be carrying?
Regarding this, Gu Yuxiao clearly didn't have much clue either.
"Chen Hao, you have to hide yourself as soon as possible. You're not good enough to fight either the Three Saint Sect, the Nine Doors or even our Gu Family. Once you are captured, your life will be in danger!" advised Gu Yuxiao.
"Moreover, the Nine Doors has deployed an extremely skillful man, whose name is General Black. He doesn't look like he's human at all, and he's very scary. Even my great-grandmother is extremely afraid of him. Therefore, once you are brought to the Gu Family, you will definitely not be able to escape!"
Gu Xiaoyu's words were tinged with intense terror.
"Even your great-grandmother is deeply afraid of General Black?"
Chen Hao was stunned.
He had learnt something. At first, he thought Mo Changkong was the best fighter in the world, but then Mo Canglong had emerged.
Now, he realized what he had seen or experienced before were just the tip of the iceberg. There were a great deal of things which were unknown to him in this world!
"According to my great-grandmother, he was a corpse that was modified by the King of Nine Doors. He has his own consciousness, and he only accedes to the instructions of the King of Nine Doors. More precisely, he is the King of Poison. Anyone who is attacked by him will be exposed to fatal poison. You might be able to escape from him, but there's no antidote for the poison!"
"When they first visited my family, our family had an epic fight with the men from the Nine Doors. Eight elders from our family were defeated by General Black, and they were all exposed to fatal poison. If they hadn't made a compromise with the King of Nine Doors, the entire family would have been slaughtered. So Chen Hao, if you were to bump into him, you must avoid him at all costs!" warned Gu Yuxiao grimly. Judging from her tone, what she said was genuine. Moreover, her words were imbued with intense trepidation.
"Why did the King of Nine Doors visit the Gu Family? Do they know that I am going to the Gu Family's place?" asked Chen Hao.
"I have no idea. That might be one of the reasons. I believe they had another reason for their visit, which was for the sake of the Ancient Mountain in Ancient City. Once every few years, a peculiar phenomenon will occur in the Ancient Mountain!" said Gu Yuxiao.
"What peculiar phenomenon?" asked Chen Hao curiously.
"That's something off-limits to me."
Gu Yuxiao shook her head.
Now, the entire matter had started to become clearer.
Indeed, there were now three forces coming after him.
Despite having gone through the Way of Heaven's baptism, it merely meant that he would no longer be completely vulnerable to the attacks of these three forces. Moreover, he could not even win Yun Qing.
Not to mention now that he also had to deal with the Gu Family, the disciples of the Nine Doors, General Black and the King of Nine Doors.
Chen Hao realized that he was in dire straits.
It was likely that he would be captured by any of them at any minute.
"In short, you should lie low from now on. I'm telling you all this for the sake of the friendship we once had. We will be enemies at our next encounter! Take care!"
Gu Yuxiao stared at Chen Hao calmly.
Then, she directly turned around and left.
By the time Gu Yuxiao made a quiet return to the Gu Family's house, she was shocked to replace the spacious living room of the house filled with all her family members.
The leader of the family was an elderly lady.
As soon as Gu Yuxiao entered the living room, everyone looked at her.
"Great-grandmother!"
A nervous look flashed across her face. After all, she had sneaked out of the house today.
She was sure her great-grandmother had already gotten to know about it.
"Ever since we came back from the Sea Palace, I have confined you in this house. I suppose life has been too boring for you recently!" said her great-grandmother with a complicated smile.
Thud!
Gu Yuxiao immediately knelt down.
"Great-grandmother, you must have already known about my meeting with Chen Hao, which has caused your plan to fail. But I... just wanted to return a favor to Chen Hao for what he has done for me! Chen Hao is a decent guy. He is not a wicked villain like how you have described him to be. He really is a kind-hearted person. Great-grandmother, please let him go!" pleaded Gu Yuxiao, her eyes brimming with tears.
After listening to her, all family members started to look stern.
The elderly lady looked enraged. "Rascal! It seems like my worry was not pointless. You're just smitten by him. None of the people from the Chen Family are decent. As for Chen Hao, he is very good at putting up an act, and he even used to help him locate the Sea Palace. As for you, you've actually betrayed me and sneaked out to give him a tip-off! Betrayer! Indirectly, you've caused the death of the seven highly- skilled fighters of our family. If it wasn't for my decision to turn Chen Hao's tricks to my own use, I am afraid you would not have been able to escape from punishment tonight!" chastised the elderly lady with a twitch at the corner of her mouth.
Obviously, her great-grandmother had already gotten to know about the death of the seven highly-skilled fighters.
"Turning his tricks to your own use? Great-grandmother, what do you mean?"
Upon listening to her words, Gu Yuxiao's entire body shook tremendously.
"Humph, since Chen Hao is already here in Thai City, do you think I will allow him to escape?"
