“Why can’t you leave?” Gu Man stopped in her tracks but did not turn around. She had a smug smile on her face. It seemed that Xia Tong had already taken the bait. Then, the next step would be easy.

“You’ve already saved her. Why don’t you help her completely?” Xia Tong’s tone was full of questions and confusion.

“I only came to rescue her because I promised her before. Now that the rescue has been completed, what does it have to do with me if she still stays here? I already have a deep grudge with the Zhou family, and I don’t want to see Zhou Ping’s face.” Gu Man’s tone was stern. Those who didn’t know better would think that she had a blood feud with the Zhou family.

However, Zhou Yan knew that although Gu Man might really have some grudge with Zhou Ping, she did not hate the Zhou family as much as she did now. Then there was only one possibility. She was acting.

Although Zhou Yan did not understand why Gu Man was acting, the only thing she could do now was cooperate.

“Gu Man, I’m extremely grateful that you chose to help me this time. It’s just that the rest of the matter is too troublesome. Besides, I’m too embarra.s.sed to trouble you anymore. You should leave quickly. Don’t stay in this troublesome place. Besides, you have the ability to leave.” Zhou Yan’s tone was especially heavy. She even waved in Gu Man’s direction with some urgency, as if she really wanted her to leave quickly.

Gu Man looked at Zhou Yan’s direction with admiration in her eyes.

Zhou Yan still reacted quickly and knew how to cooperate with her.

“Since you’ve already said so, I won’t stay any longer. It’s not convenient for me to interfere in your grudge,” Gu Man said and was about to walk out.

Xia Tong became even more anxious. She actually dragged Chu An over. She pushed Chu An in front of Zhou Yan and said quickly, “That’s your biological father. You’re so skinny, are you sure you don’t need external help to save him? You have to persuade her.”

As Xia Tong spoke, she patted Chu An’s shoulder. Then, she walked around Zhou Yan and arrived in front of Gu Man. She lowered her voice and said, “The winner between the two of us hasn’t been decided yet. You can’t leave just like that.”

Of course, Gu Man had no intention of leaving just like that. After all, the secret she wanted to know was still hidden with Xia Tong.

However, she had to be good at pretending. After all, it was to prevent Xia Tong from using any tricks.

The fact that the Xia Family could be hated by everyone in that era proved that the Xia Family had something terrifying. Although she did not know what it was, she could not go wrong if she was careful.

Her current strength was not even one-thousandth of her peak. Naturally, she had to use some small methods to stop Xia Tong.

“It’s not an arena compet.i.tion. Why should we have a winner?” Gu Man looked at Xia Tong innocently.

Xia Tong was speechless for a moment. She wanted to avenge her daughter. Everything else was just an excuse.

She forced Gu Man to stay only because she wanted to wait for Chu An, Zhou Yan, and the others to leave. She had to take revenge.

Because of the possession, the connection between her soul and her body was not high. Moreover, for some reason during the possession, she could not even see the sun recently, let alone take revenge.

Soul fusion and these side effects would last about ten years. If it were before, she would probably have waited, but now, she could not wait at all.

Who knew where Gu Man would run to ten years later? She might not even be able to catch her.

This was her only chance, so she naturally had to grasp it firmly.

Xia Tong pulled Gu Man out. “Don’t you want to kill me?”

She thought that Gu Man would be tempted if she said that, but Gu Man shook off her hand and stood rooted to the ground.

“No, I just figured it out. There are so many beautiful things in life. Why fight and kill? Don’t you agree?” Gu Man had a playful smile on her face.

Xia Tong was so angry that she took a few deep breaths before she could barely calm down. She did not look in Gu Man’s direction again and looked at Chu An. “Chu An, leave with Zhou Yan and the rest of the Zhou Family. You’re not allowed to come in without my permission. I have something to do..”
