Chapter 14: The Emperor Was Stimulated

In truth, Gu Lingsha didn't even need to worry about whether she should explain herself. Ever since she had ruined that sacred and inviolable blessing prayer ritual, the entire Gu Family Village had treated her like a jinx; no matter where she appeared, she was met with eye-rolls and disdain.

And this disdain had lasted for three whole years!

Three years later, Gu Lingsha was no longer a babbling infant, and under Du Wan's meticulous care, Gu Lingyu had grown to be increasingly exquisite, like a carving of jade and pink porcelain.

Of course, Gu Lingsha was not lacking either, but compared to Gu Lingyu, there was a significant difference in appearance because she was not the biological child of the two. To the point where, even now, more and more people claimed they did not look like twins.

Furthermore, during these three years, the eldest daughter-in-law of the direct line had also given birth to a son, who was now two years old. Consequently, the status of the Gu family's concubine-line twins in Gu Family Village was becoming lower and lower.

In truth, Gu Lingsha didn't mind much. After all, her daily routine consisted primarily of practicing the mental cultivation methods given to her by Feng Wurao. After three years of cultivation, just as Feng Wurao had predicted, she could indeed feel that her supernatural abilities from her previous life had completely merged into this body.

However, because of her young age, the potential of these abilities could not yet be fully unleashed, so she was currently just waiting for Feng Wurao's further arrangements.

But unexpectedly, upon returning from the capital one day, Gu Ruhai brought back bad news: word had come from the Zhiming Kingdom to the east that a child had been tested and found to possess a Summoning Spirit.

Once this news broke, the entire Cangming Continent was shocked!

One had to understand that since Feng Wurao of the Nanzhao Kingdom, no Summoner had appeared for four hundred years.

And the power of a Summoner—possessing one was equivalent to possessing a million lions. For the three nations that frequently engaged in heavy fighting to contend for the Luojia Sea, this was undoubtedly explosive news, and it was no wonder the emperors of the other two nations were panicked.

Thus, on the very day the news reached the capital, the Emperor of the Haoyue Dynasty issued an edict to the ten most powerful families in the country, demanding they immediately bring all untested children in their households to the capital. He wanted to see if the Haoyue Dynasty also possessed children with Summoning Spirits.

It was obvious: the Emperor had been rattled...

When Gu Lingsha heard this news, she was being harassed by Gu Lingyu. As soon as Gu Ruhai finished speaking, her hand slipped, and the exquisite little Lingyu fell like a steamed bun—

With a "thud!", he hit the ground and began to cry with heart-wrenching intensity...

"Lingsha, why are you bullying your brother again?" As soon as Du Wan saw her precious son fall, she immediately scolded Gu Lingsha without even considering the facts.

Regarding this foster mother, Gu Lingsha had already grown accustomed to the pattern of her not treating her like a biological daughter, so she ignored her and climbed onto the dining table to pick up her chopsticks.

On the other hand, seeing his wife scolding their daughter again, Gu Liunian stepped forward, picked up Gu Lingsha, and sat her on his lap. "Wan'er, Lingsha is still small. Why do you always scold her? What does she even know about bullying?"

*Exactly, what do I know about bullying? I only know what "devastating" means, okay?*

Thinking this, Gu Lingsha opened her mouth and ate the piece of braised pork that Gu Liunian had placed in her bowl clean.

To be honest, she still preferred this father; from beginning to end, he had doted on her like a precious treasure.
