Gu Chenyi's aura was terrifying, to begin with, so when he narrowed his eyes and unleashed his aura with an unsightly expression on his face, he caused the entire cottage to be filled with a powerful and oppressive aura. Seeing how angry Gu Chenyi was, Shen Yu felt her heart drop in the pit of her stomach.
She was so frighted that she swallowed the back into her belly and her lips started to tremble. Even the Xi family were scared. Only Song Yan and Fu Yu Sheng stayed calm as Gu Chenyi's aura was on par with theirs.
" I … I …" Shen Yu wanted to say that she momentarily lost her temper because she was attacked by Yang Si but she knew that Gu Chenyi was not going to listen to her because she used her powers to attack a commoner!
" What do you mean by 'I' ? Have you lost your tongue!? Just a moment ago you were screaming at the top of your voice and now you can't speak?" Gu Chenyi roared at Shen Yu who lowered her head even more. She had never seen Gu Chenyi angry but she knew that she had finally stepped on the bottom line of this man in front of her.
" I didn't mean it," she sobbed as she raised her hand and then pointed at the bald spots on her head and stated with tears glittering in her eyes, " Look at this, she almost pulled every strand of my hair and this is why I lost my temper. I did not mean to hurt her nor was I going to harm her family."

But now that she was caught by Gu Chenyi, she knew that she couldn't touch the Xi family.
Gu Chenyi stared at the woman in front of him with a cold look on his face. He then turned to look at Xi Sang and his family before saying, " The Gu sect will take care of your medical expenses along with the monetary compensation. Since it was the fault of one of our celestial masters, we are willing to bear the cost of your living."
Though Xi Sang wanted to say something, he was glared at by Assistant Xi who stated coldly, " You better not say anything. It's ultimately your fault that we are dealing with a mess like this."
Only then did the matter drop.
The ambulance arrived very soon because this matter was related to the supernatural and no one was at fault, Gu Chenyi cleaned the human bones and prayed for those who had departed unjustly.
The Xi family members were taken away while Gu Chenyi dragged Shen Yu back with him.
Even though he did not say it out loud, Song Yan knew that the position of Gu Chenyi's fiancée that Shen Yu was holding so close to her heart was about to be snatched away.
What Shen Yu did, had created a major stain in the long history of the Gu sect, what was more even if Xi Sang and his father did not die because of their entanglement with the malicious spirit, their life force would have been greatly reduced.
It was a matter of time, sooner or later those two men will pass away.
She then turned to look at Fu Yu Sheng. She had clearly asked him to go back home but yet he came looking for her.
" Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to go back home?"
" How can I not come?" Fu Yu Sheng stated calmly though his eyes which were lined with worry slowly turned warm. He took Song Yan's hand in his and then interlocked their fingers. " I was worried. Even though you know your thing, as your husband, I can't stop worrying about you."
Song Yan felt her heart being wrapped in warm honey when she heard the words of her man. Looks like she did not make a mistake while giving him a second chance.

" Here," she said.
Seeing the cool blue jade in the hands of his wife, Fu Yu Sheng could not help but frown. The jade was quite beautiful and the string with which it was tied also seemed to be glowing with a strange beautiful glow.
" What is this?" He asked while taking the pendant from Song Yan.
Fu Yu Sheng expected the jade to feel cold when he touched it but the second his fingers touched the bluish-white jade, his skin warmed up causing his eyes to widen in surprise.
"It's called Immortal Jade," stated Song Yan with a soft voice. " Jades which are refined by immortals have exceptional powers. Not only do they help in nourishing the body of the person who wears it but some masters even call them harbingers of luck and longevity. You have no idea how many masters would kill to get their hands on this treasure, I believe that the ghost woman was most probably a maid who used to work in a sect and lost her life while loving a man she couldn't get."
" Are you trying to link the story of that ghost woman with some soap opera?" Fu Yu Sheng teased his wife but his eyes were incomparably soft around the edges as he picked up the jade pendant and tied it around his neck.
As soon as the jade fell against his chest he felt a surge of heat rushing inside him.
Song Yan nodded her head without even the slightest bit of hesitation and then stated, "… I mean it does make sense right? Back then immortals had Dao companions and each companion was skilled in one thing or another. If the ghost woman was an average maid who did not know anything… she must have felt quite upset upon being rejected?"
The only response she got was Fu Yu Sheng's laughter, neither of them knew how close they were to the truth nor did they know that the jade pendant finally returned to his master.
