I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

He saw Fu Wanqing's inner castle; it was still that sunny garden villa.

White walls, blue windows, and a sea of ​​flowers in front of the door, blooming profusely.

The mood emanating from the castle was a warm yellow—it was happiness, genuine happiness.

It wasn't something I pretended to do, nor was it something I suppressed; it came from the bottom of my heart.

Every word she said was true; she wasn't putting on a brave face or trying to hide anything.

She had a really happy childhood, and her adoptive parents treated her very well.

Gu Yan withdrew her superpower and breathed a sigh of relief, but a new wave of confusion washed over her.

Fu Wanqing had no traumatic childhood; her adoptive parents treated her very well, so she had no reason to turn evil.

She's not a villain; she doesn't have that dark undertone. Her sunshine is genuine.

Why did Fu Yunshu say he felt something was wrong with Wanqing, and why did he ask him to help take a look?

Could it be that the one who's acting strangely isn't Fu Wanqing, but Fu Shiwei?

Fu Shiwei is an adopted daughter, raised by the Fu family since childhood. How did she spend her childhood?

Does she have any trauma, any shadows, or have she been used as a tool by the Fu family?

She is so outstanding and so strong, but what is she like inside?

Gu Yan thought about it more and more and it seemed possible, but something still felt off.

What novel starts from the villain's perspective? Fu Shiwei doesn't seem like a villain at all.

She was a bit cold, but when fighting the alien beasts, she was always at the forefront, and she didn't back down even when she was covered in wounds.

She served her country and its people, protecting the Great Xia Dynasty. How could someone like that be a villain?

It didn't make sense, it didn't make any sense at all, and Gu Yan's head started to ache again.

Fu Wanqing was still chattering beside him, saying that her adoptive parents had a big yellow dog.

They say that dog is very smart; it can open doors by itself and carry a basket to the village store to buy salt.

It is said that once, its foster mother asked it to buy salt, but it brought back a bag of sugar instead, and its foster mother scolded it for three days.

As Gu Yan listened, the corners of her mouth curved slightly. She decided to stop thinking about it if she couldn't figure it out.

Anyway, when you go to Shanglu, you can visit her adoptive parents; maybe you'll find out something.

Maybe he won't find anything, or maybe he's just overthinking things.

A faint, multicolored light flickered deep within Gu Yan's pupils as the Mirror Flower Imperial Seal silently began to operate.

Fu Wanqing's inner castle is still that sunny garden villa with white walls and blue windows.

The mood emanating from the castle was a warm yellow, like the autumn sunshine, warm and peaceful.

There was no gloom, no cracks, nothing seemed amiss.

Gu Yan stared at it for several seconds to make sure she wasn't mistaken before withdrawing her supernatural power.

Fu Wanqing tilted her head and looked at him, her amber eyes full of curiosity.

"What are you looking at? Your eyes are so beautiful, they're as colorful as a rainbow."

Her voice was crisp and clear, carrying a sincere admiration that sounded more like a description of a fact than a compliment.

"Your eyes were already beautiful, and they can even change color, it's amazing."

"Is it your special ability? I've seen those experts' eyes change when they use their abilities."

"But you became the most beautiful. I've seen other people change, and they were all single-color, red, green, blue, they were so ugly."

"Your eyes are so colorful, like gemstones. Let me see them more often in the future."

Gu Yan blinked, and the seven-colored light slowly faded, returning to normal black.

He didn't expect Fu Wanqing to ask so many questions in one go; she really couldn't keep her mouth shut.

"I wasn't looking at anything, just spacing out. Let's go, we have to leave early tomorrow morning, go back and get some rest."

He turned and walked forward, taking large strides, and Fu Wanqing quickly followed.

"You should go to bed early too. I'll wake you up tomorrow. Don't oversleep again."

Gu Yan's lips twitched slightly, but she didn't turn around; she simply waved her hand.

The two walked out of the corridor one after the other and went back to their respective rooms.

......

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, a row of black cars was already parked in front of the Fu family's gate.

A small golden flagpole stood on the front of the car, and the national flag of the Great Xia Dynasty fluttered in the morning breeze.

There were more than a dozen cars in total, with the one in the middle being the most spacious, and the Fu family's gladiolus emblem was engraved on the door.

Gu Yan took a closer look and realized that these cars were different from ordinary ones.

The car body is thicker than that of a regular sedan, and the windows are made of dark bulletproof material that has a matte finish under the light.

The tires are specially made solid tires, and the rims are engraved with intricate patterns, clearly indicating that they are not ordinary products.

The suspension under the car is higher than that of ordinary cars, and the chassis is equipped with protective armor.

Each vehicle has a barely noticeable protrusion on its roof, which is probably a communication antenna or some other device.

Gu Yan had ridden in modified cars at the Pei family's house before, but those cars were a level below these.

These cars are genuine, custom-made bulletproof vehicles; even the door handles are solid, with no trace of plastic.

There are also serial numbers on the car doors, and they are not painted on, but engraved on with metal plates.

Fu Wanqing leaned closer and whispered something, her tone tinged with pride.

"These are all special police vehicles that have been registered with higher authorities. Each one has a number and will not be stopped on the road."

"This is the configuration for the Fu family's motorcade when they travel. Grandma says safety comes first, and pomp comes second."

Gu Yan nodded, thinking to herself, "No wonder he dared to swagger onto the highway with four retainers."

With this kind of setup, even a regular law enforcement station would have to clear the way for the car just by seeing the license plate, let alone petty thieves.

Fu Yunshu was dressed in a dark blue casual outfit, her hair still neatly combed.

She stood at the door and gave instructions to several worshippers. Her voice was not loud, but everyone could hear her clearly.

There were four worshippers standing nearby, two men and two women, all of whom were quite old.

Gu Yan looked over and vaguely felt that these faces looked familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before.

On the far left is an old man with gray hair, a slightly hunched back, but bright eyes.

He was dressed in a gray robe and held a black cane with a dark red bead at the top.

Gu Yan remembered that the old man was named Shen Tieyi, who single-handedly took on three Black Tide Secret Realms in the Northwest thirty years ago.

He was only a few years old at the time, but the news was everywhere, even kindergarten children knew about it.

Next to her was a plump old lady with a round face who smiled like Maitreya Buddha.

She was wearing a dark blue cotton-padded jacket and carrying a cloth bag in her hand, which was bulging and its contents were unknown.

This is Zhou Guilan, the former head instructor of the imperial court. It is said that even the emperor of that time learned a few moves from her.

Next to him was a tall, thin old man with his back ramrod straight, wearing a black training uniform.

His face was expressionless, like a block of wood, but his gaze carried a chill when he swept over people.

This is Zhao Tiegu, who has guarded the northern border for thirty years. The number of strange beasts he has killed could be piled up into a mountain, and he never wastes words.

On the far right is an elderly woman with half-gray hair, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who looks very refined.
