In the midst of them, only Nangong Mo did not show a shocked expression.
Clearly, he knew some things.
At this moment, he stood behind Gu Qianying, who was unaware of his expression.
She had always thought he was shocked too.
Looking at her back from behind Gu Qianying.
Nangong Mo's mind flashed with all the events of his past life.
His deep eyes held a look that others could not understand.
Wife, you need to grow up.
Duan Xifeng, Nangong Li, Meng Qinghua, Song Wuji, these individuals, like Gu Yefeng, were all in shock and naturally did not notice Nangong Mo's expression at this moment.
However, the unusual look in his eyes was fully captured by Ouyang Qinglin beside him.
Ouyang Qinglin frowned and looked towards Nangong Mo.
He felt a hint of doubt and suspicion in his heart.
"What did you say?"
After a long while, Gu Qianying managed to find her voice.
Gu Yefeng stood frozen, unable to recover for a long time.
He had clearly heard what Lan Ling Nu had said.
It was precisely because of this that he found it unbelievable, even more so, incredulous.
Gu Qianying only thought she had misheard; she absolutely refused to believe it.
Lan Ling Nu glanced at Gu Yefeng, then shifted her gaze to Gu Qianying's face: "This Spirit Lady never lies, and as your relative, your aunt, I would never deceive you."
"The biggest reason you became the Demon Empress is that you were not an ordinary person to begin with. Whether you were Zi Ling Nu in your past life or became the Demon Empress after rebirth, your success is not something an ordinary person could achieve."
"And your difference, do you siblings have any similarities?"
As she spoke, Lan Ling Nu looked at Gu Yefeng again: "In the mortal realm, you were a general, also a mortal. In all these years, have you ever shown any abnormality? Let alone cultivation or spiritual power, even demonic power, you cannot cultivate. Your ability to enter this place is merely because you have received a little spiritual power from them."
"Spiritual power not cultivated by oneself can only serve a temporary purpose. From this perspective, you and the girl are not of the same kind at all. To put it bluntly, you and the girl are not biological siblings, and you were not born to the girl's mother."
Such blunt words, once spoken.
Gu Yefeng's face immediately paled a few shades.
The atmosphere in the room was silent.
Meng Qinghua, Duan Xifeng, and others remained speechless.
"Ching!"
Gu Qianying took the Chi Blood Saber, its tip already broken, back into her hand.
She held the saber towards Lan Ling Nu, her voice as cold as ice, her volume suddenly increasing: "You are lying!"
With the Chi Blood Saber pointed at her, Lan Ling Nu turned her eyes to meet Gu Qianying's, smiling lightly: "Girl, your aunt is merely stating facts. Why don't you believe your aunt? Your mother is not an ordinary person, and you are not an ordinary person. As for this brother of yours, he is indeed an ordinary person. Can you not perceive such an obvious matter?"
"Girl, stop deceiving yourself. Facts are facts, beyond doubt." Lan Ling Nu pointed at Gu Yefeng: "And he..."
"Shut up! I told you to shut up!"
The Chi Blood Saber, with its broken tip, suddenly slashed towards Lan Ling Nu.
Towards someone who suddenly appeared, claiming to be her aunt, even if this aunt was truly her relative.
But they were strangers, with no affection to speak of, only a relationship she herself did not understand.
And her brother, Gu Yefeng, was the one who doted on her since childhood!
How could she allow her brother to be slandered by others!
Lan Ling Nu did not expect Gu Qianying to attack her, and she made no move to react.
Suddenly, a surge of spiritual power struck from behind Gu Qianying.
It knocked the Chi Blood Saber from Gu Qianying's hand.
The saber fell.
Gu Qianying's waist was embraced by a slender arm.
She turned her head to look.
She saw Nangong Mo's handsome profile.
"Wife, one must not kill."
These words were spoken by Nangong Mo.
Gu Qianying looked at him with astonishment.
"Could it be that you also know about this?"
Having loved Nangong Mo for several lifetimes, how could she not know his character?
If he had not known beforehand, why would his face show no trace of shock?
It must be that he had known all along, which was why he came to stop her. Otherwise, no matter who she killed, why would he interfere?
"Junior brother, look at your wife, she has quite a temper. Only you can tolerate her."
Lan Ling Nu looked at Nangong Mo.
Everyone was shocked and looked at Nangong Mo in unison.
Gu Qianying also abruptly looked at Nangong Mo: "Junior brother? You know her?"
This was something Gu Qianying had never expected.
Nangong Mo turned his head to look at Gu Qianying: "Wife, I..."
"So, you also knew about the relationship between me and my brother long ago? No, perhaps, you are the mastermind behind this entire affair. You had someone who looks like me claim to be my aunt to design a situation to tell me about the relationship between me and my brother, and you already knew, yet you pretended to know nothing. Nangong Mo, do you think it's fun to play with us siblings like this?"
The corners of Gu Qianying's mouth curved into a bitter smile. Looking at Nangong Mo, she became furious, she became angry.
Gu Yefeng shared the same anger as her.
For him, when he learned that he and his sister had no blood relation, he was heartbroken, he was sad.
But these were far from the anger that being deceived by others could bring.
Moreover, this person was his sister's beloved.
What kind of schemes did he have to become like this, even deceiving his beloved?
Or perhaps, he did not consider his sister as the most important person to him, as his wife, otherwise, why would he deceive her?
Gu Yefeng picked up the sword that had fallen to the ground. He held the sword towards Nangong Mo: "Nangong Mo, regardless of whether my sister and I have a blood relation or not, I, Gu Yefeng, will only recognize Gu Qianying as my sister in this life. I will cherish her, protect her, and never deceive her."
"And you, you claim she is your beloved, the one you cannot let go of, the one you want to protect for a lifetime, but what have you done to her? You deceive her? Is this how you show your love?"
"Your love is not too cheap, Nangong Mo. Who I, Gu Yefeng, am a descendant of is irrelevant to me personally. I, Gu Yefeng, was born to be myself, and I will be myself after death. Even if I were a bastard, what does it matter? What is Gu Yefeng afraid of?"
"Brother, you are not a bastard! You are my brother, Gu Qianying's real brother, my brother for life. I don't care what the truth is, nor do I care if we have a blood relation. But in my heart, we are siblings, and no one can say anything about us."
Gu Qianying looked at Gu Yefeng.
Gu Yefeng saw the determination in her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Gu Yefeng smiled with relief.
Just moments ago, he had truly feared that his sister, upon learning that she and her brother had no blood relation, would abandon him.
It seemed he had been mistaken; he should not have doubted Gu Qianying's affection for him.
That's right!
So what if there was no blood relation?
How could that compare to the affection of growing up together?
"Nangong Mo, I don't know why you deceived me, but do you know what it feels like to be deceived by the one you love? Nangong Mo... I truly misjudged you!"
With that, Gu Qianying suddenly snatched the sword from Gu Yefeng's hand...
Seeing this, everyone was greatly alarmed.
"Qianying, don't..."
"Ninth Imperial Aunt, don't..."
"A'Mo, quickly dodge..."
"A'Mo..."
