Her to Tread Upon It
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Sitting in the front row, Feng Tianlan overheard the whispers of the crowd. His phoenix eyes slightly chilled as he gazed at the woman on the high platform. As he expected, this woman was indeed ruthless!
However, for some reason, he didn’t feel much aversion in his heart at this moment.
Was it because she stood up for her son?
Feng Tianlan turned his gaze towards Feng Yuanxi who stood on the opposite side of the viewing platform, clenching his fists in indignation as he glared at some strangers.
With his keen hearing, Feng Tianlan could distinguish every word they were saying amidst the commotion.
Those people whom his son was glaring at were all cursing Gu Qingluan for her cruelty and malevolence.
Surprisingly, Yuanxi wasn’t afraid of this woman; instead, he was defending her?
Feng Tianlan squinted his eyes, focusing his gaze back on Gu Qingluan.
He wanted to see what kind of charm this woman possessed that made his son so infatuated!
In the midst of this chaos, he wondered how she would resolve this situation.
On the high platform, a scarlet hue adorned the white surface, depicting a scene of disorder and bloodshed.
The woman in white remained untouched, her lips curled up with a devilish allure, like a blooming Manjusaka flower from the depths of hell: bewitching and haunting.
“Since you can’t speak, there’s no need for you to open your mouth again,” Gu Qingluan said with a wicked smile.
“Aah! Aah!” Gu Jinyue was in so much pain that she almost fainted. The intense pain and the emptiness in her mouth gave her an ominous feeling, but she gritted her teeth and managed not to pass out.
As she saw the red piece lying on the ground, twitching slightly, panic filled her face.
Her tongue!
Aah! Aah!
Her tongue!
Gu Jinyue rushed forward to pick up her severed tongue, her face streaming with blood and tears.
“Yue’er…!” Gu Zhixin didn’t expect his son to be beaten so badly, and then his daughter was also subjected to such torment. He was instantly filled with grief and anger.
“Gu Qingluan, I will fight you!” He put Gu Jinrong down and rushed towards Gu Qingluan.
Gu Qingluan sneered, raising her hand, and sending him flying away.
“Hiss, elder sister, this is too cruel. Is she not planning to reconcile? Does she want to kill Second Uncle and then deal with us?” Gu Qin’er sat beside Gu Zhicheng and whispered in shock.
Gu Zhicheng’s face darkened. As the head of the family, he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing, but because it was Gu Qingluan, he had to restrain himself from taking action.
But if she wanted to kill, there would be no mercy!
He didn’t extend his respect to her just to have her trample upon it!
The deep purple robe fluttered, and a tall figure landed on the stage, standing between Gu Qingluan and Gu Zhixin’s group. “Stop it, everyone!”
Gu Qingluan turned around gracefully and walked to her son’s side.
“Mother!” Gu Xiaonan leaned against her, his eyes shining with admiration.
Truly, she was his mother, elegant and beautiful!
“Are you scared?” Gu Qingluan asked, her eyes filled with a faint smile.
Just a moment ago, she had severed someone’s tongue, but she showed no remorse.
Gu Xiaonan shook his head and said, “I’m not scared! She insulted you, she deserves to die!”
Just cutting off her tongue was too lenient!
Just like how Gu Xiaonan was a sore point for Gu Qingluan, similarly, Gu Qingluan was a sensitive topic for Gu Xiaonan.
Gu Xiaonan could endure others insulting him, but he would never tolerate anyone insulting his mother.
Those who insulted his mother deserved death!
At this moment, the referee seemed to finally react and stepped forward, saying, “Those who are not related to the competition, please leave the stage.”
Gu Zhixin ignored the referee and turned to the high platform, clasping his fists. “I request the Crown Prince to be the arbiter and give my children justice!”
Qitian Yu rubbed his forehead.
It seemed that he couldn’t avoid this today.
They were clearly a family, yet they fought each other so fiercely.
What should have been a normal selection competition had turned into the current situation.
With a respectful gesture, he asked, “Master Lan, would you be willing to take charge of the situation?”
