Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 566: See who will come for people

Cui Lan not only knows Jiang Ruolin but also left with her? And the Gu Family seems to have a very harmonious relationship with the Wan Family!

This particularly concerned the Cui Family Patriarch.

Lower-ranking families flatter higher-ranking ones to gain more cultivation resources, which is a survival law of the Cultivation World.

The Cui Family now follows a Level 13 Cultivation Family, so by rights, they shouldn’t be considered a low-level affiliate.

However, there are especially many competitors to become this family’s vassal, and the Cui Family is still the one with the weakest foundation among them.

Therefore, when seeing Cui Lan acquainted with Jiang Ruolin, Patriarch Cui Hao became somewhat anxious, pondering that if they could connect with the promising Jiang Family and Gu Family, maybe the family’s development could find more opportunities.

So, when Cui Lan reminded people from the Cui Family to take a trip to the Gu Mansion, Patriarch Cui Hao personally made the trip.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Gu Mansion, seeing that the gatekeeper was a housekeeper from a vassal family of the Gu Family, he said with a grin on his face: "Fellow Daoist, I am Cui Lan’s great-grandfather, she asked me to come."

Cui Lan arrived at the entrance at this time, seeing the Patriarch being stopped, she hurriedly came forward to give a fist and palm salute to the vassal family’s housekeeper: "Senior, this is the Patriarch of my Cui Family, indeed he came here to retrieve something at my request."

"So it’s Miss Cui, my apologies." The housekeeper recognized Cui Lan as a maid beside the Ancestor Grandmother of the Gu Family, promptly returned the salute, then said to the Cui Family Patriarch: "Fellow Daoist, please proceed."

"Lan’er pays her respects to the Patriarch." After entering the Gu Mansion, Cui Lan promptly performed a salute and said in surprise: "Why have you personally come?"

Cui Hao: "Considering it involves the Gu Family, I was afraid you might slight them and cause offense, so I thought I’d come and see the situation."

He curiously asked: "How did you get to know Miss Jiang and establish a relationship with her? And you can enter the Gu Family?"

Cui Lan: "Reporting to the Patriarch, I am now a maid beside Miss Jiang, and I will be serving her for the next thousand years."

Cui Family Patriarch was astonished: "Were you coerced?"

"Not at all." Cui Lan shook her head with a light smile: "I volunteered."

Saying this, she took out the Breakthrough Pill given by Gu Feng and handed it to the Patriarch: "This is gifted by the Gu Family Ancestor to me, the reason for calling someone from home is to retrieve this. I hope great-grandfather can forgive my presumption for voluntarily becoming somebody else’s servant."

Marriage among female members of the family has always been dictated by the family, which also means their freedom is at the family’s discretion.

If it were any other time, Patriarch Cui Hao would be irate and blame those who dare to decide on their own to leave the family system when arranged in a marriage list by the family.

However, now, Cui Hao certainly hoped that Cui Lan could connect with the Gu Family line, or at least with the Jiang Family as a backup.

After all, the Jiang Family now possesses the Respect Secret Technique, and their future is immeasurable.

But when he looked down at the pill in his hand and sensed its special function, Cui Hao’s expression changed: "A Breakthrough Pill!"

"The Gu Family Ancestor knew that you were ready to break through the bottleneck, so he gave me this elixir to pass on to the family, as a meeting gift for me serving Miss Jiang."

"What a grand gesture." The Cui Family Patriarch exclaimed in surprise: "Does Miss Jiang have such a big influence in the Gu Family? Isn’t the Gu Family only a Level 10 Cultivation Family? They casually gifted a maid with a Ninth Layer Heaven Breakthrough Pill!"

Cui Lan: "Miss Jiang is now the Ancestor Grandmother of the Gu Family, second only to the Gu Family Ancestor, and the Ancestor dotes on her exceedingly. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to enter the Gu Family so freely."

Cui Hao suppressed the joy in his heart, expressing admiration: "This time our family can climb one more step, and your service has been indispensable. Rest assured, great-grandfather guarantees that upon my return your lineage will certainly be cared for in the family."

Cui Lan hurriedly performed a salute: "First, I thank great-grandfather. If the family ever encounters difficulty and I can be of assistance, I will certainly help."

Cui Hao wore a gratified expression on his face and subsequently left.

On the other side, it wasn’t Gu Feng who was in a hurry to destroy the Ma Family; rather, the Ma Family had been eyeing Jiang Ruolin’s parents for a long time. Just earlier, he sensed that Jiang Ruolin’s parents had emerged from seclusion in the Original World and were captured at the Teleportation Array by the Ma Family’s people.

Since the Ma Family insists on letting things escalate to this point, then he had nothing to say.

With the additional crimes the Ma Family had against the Gu Family members, this group seemed to have no necessity to continue to be preserved.

Previously, Gu Feng refrained from acting against them, only wishing to leave the Ma Family intact for Jiang Ruolin to deal with herself. In Cultivation, seeking the Dao emphasizes an enlightened understanding.

He retained the Ma Family for the sake of Jiang Ruolin’s moral cultivation.

The Ma Family now insists on dragging Jiang Ruolin into the mix, which is tantamount to touching the only bond that Gu Feng cares about.

In that case, the Ma Family cannot be allowed to remain.

In the 25th Layer Heaven of the Cave Mansion World opened by a Guest Elder of the Ma Family, within the cosmic realm beyond the Universe, the descendants of the Ma Family captured Jiang Dad and Mrs. Jiang and escorted them to the Ma Family’s ancestral mountain.

"Ma Jingcheng, kill or mutilate us as you please, but don’t think of using us to threaten Ruolin and the Gu Family."

With their Divine Sense sealed off, Jiang Dad and Mrs. Jiang recognized this Sixth Young Master from the Ma Family, who had slaughtered the Jiang Family back in the day.

Ma Jingcheng is the ninth generation descendant of the Ma Family, and as the sixth in seniority, he is respectfully referred to as Sixth Young Master amongst the Ma Family branch halls and circles of friends.

The one who had a rivalry over the Jiang Family was his son.

When the Jiang Family mobilized Clan Leader-level forces, his son could not win the fight, so he had to step in and decisively eradicate them root and branch.

"If it weren’t for the intervention of the Murong Family back then, your Jiang Family would have been erased long ago!" Ma Jingcheng said disdainfully, "Rest assured, we’re too lazy to bother with your Jiang Family now."

Their target is the Gu Family, to take back the resources on Earth.

As for the Jiang Family?

They’re merely a tool to be used against the Gu Family.

Who told Jiang Ruolin to marry into the Gu Family?

Now, even if Jiang Dad and his wife want to commit suicide, they can’t do so due to the sealing of their Divine Sense. They can only attempt to provoke Ma Jingcheng into a murderous rage with verbal insults.

To Ma Jingcheng, killing the two of them is just a matter of a single thought, but he cannot kill them yet.

According to the family’s plan, they have to wait for the upper echelon’s decision.

After the news of their capture reached the Ancestor’s Cave Mansion, Clan Leader Ma Yuntao said to a servant beside him, "Report to the two Guest Elders that the people from the Jiang Family have been captured, and the news has also been released."

Why is the Ma Family’s planet classified as Level 25?

Because the Ma Family’s heritage does not rely on the present Clan Leader Ma Yuntao, a Cultivator who has broken through to the 23rd Layer Heaven.

It lies in the fact that there are two top-tier Offerants supporting the Ma Family from behind.

Both are Cultivators of the 25th Layer Heaven Realm!

As a family that has existed since the dawn of the first generation of the Cultivation civilization, the Ma Family possesses the resources and heritage of the Teleportation Array. How many experts were fostered and supported by them over the years?

To this day, they have nurtured two distinguished ancient beings. These two Offerants have aided the Ma Family since the third generation and hold an absolutely revered position within the family.

Soon after, a servant came down from the Offerant Mountain and conveyed a message: "The Offerants decree that we should spread the word about this matter in the name of the Emperor-Sealing Cultivators throughout the Cultivation World."

"Yes!"

Through this incident, we’ll see if the Gu Family cares about Jiang Ruolin’s parents or not.

It’s also a test to see if the Gu Family will seek Zhang Ruokai’s intervention.

If Zhang Ruokai does come to request their release, then the Ma Family will certainly let them go.

Given the prior relationship when the two Offerants had joined Zhang Ruokai on a mission, it’s clear that Zhang Ruokai wouldn’t completely fall out with the Ma Family.

This favor can be banked and called upon later, but the next time the Ma Family moves against the Gu Family, Zhang Ruokai won’t be able to intervene a second time.

In fact, had Jiang Ruolin not attended the banquet, and had not Wan Hua and the Gu Family Patriarch been alerted, the Ma Family wouldn’t have known about her high status within the Gu Family. That’s why they decided to capture Jiang Ruolin’s parents as leverage.

As for the mysterious person behind the Gu Family?

With the two Offerants present, the Ma Family is not the slightest bit worried.

Let’s wait and see who will come to claim them.
