This was the first time Gu Peng’s hand had been held by a girl. He said uncomfortably, “This is nothing. You don’t have to thank me.”

As he said this, his ears turned red and he squirmed.

Gu Yu raised his eyebrows when he saw his eighth brother’s shy expression. As expected, he was still a child who had not grown up.

They had not told Lily and Yunbao about this. Neither of them could understand the complexity of this matter. It was better for the adults to resolve it themselves.

Gu Yu had asked someone to investigate Devon overseas. If there was anything wrong, they would record it down and try to describe Devon as an evil person.

Because they could not post the matter of the spells on the Internet) they could only investigate his life like this.

Devon usually hid it very well. In the eyes of outsiders, he was a gentle gentleman who doted on his wife and daughter very much. There was nothing to criticize.

However, Gu Yu hired the best hacker to investigate and indeed found a lot of dirt.

Before the news of the socialite Cheng abandoning her husband had faded, the news of foreign professors believing in a cult had once again trended.

It detailed the details of Devon’s private belief in a cult and even the sale of children for sacrifice. There were photos and truths that shocked the entire Internet.

Gu Yu was wise enough not to let anyone mention Cheng Xi in the article, but the netizens followed the clues and found out about this matter. This time, the rumors that Cheng Xi had abandoned her husband lost credibility.

Since Devon was a great villain who could kill, it was definitely right for Cheng Xi to abandon him. After all, no one wanted a murderer husband.

Moreover, someone had taken out evidence on the Internet that Cheng Xi was staying in the Gu residence because her family did not agree to the divorce. Moreover, she had a good relationship with the daughter of the Gu family, so she was temporarily staying in the Gu family.

With that) the rumors about Cheng Xi were clarified. Devon became a person despised and scolded by the entire Internet, and the government of Country Y also launched an investigation on him.

Devon didn’t react to the change in the trend on the Internet. He didn’t care what these people thought at all. He had done those things previously to pressure Cheng Xi.

He put away his phone and used the invisibility spell to sneak into the Gu family’s mansion. Lily was playing in the garden at the back. He knew how much Cheng Xi loved her daughter. As long as he held Lily hostage, he could let Cheng Xi come back.

He had fallen in love with Cheng Xi from the first time he saw her and was determined to take her for himself. However, after all kinds of fruitless confessions, he understood that he had to force whatever he wanted.

Therefore, he drugged Cheng Xi and used an incantation to make her pregnant immediately, forcing her to marry him.

However, Devon knew that Cheng Xi didn’t love him. She only stayed by his side for their daughter. He couldn’t help but become more and more irritable because of his unrequited love and vented his anger on his wife and daughter.

He didn’t understand why Cheng Xi wanted to escape. Every time he hit her, he would apologize and even buy expensive gifts for the mother and daughter. They should forgive him for his sincere repentance.

Devon pushed all the blame to Cheng Xi. He felt that she had a change of heart and liked someone else, so she left. All these years, Cheng Xi had never interacted with any men. After returning to the country, she went to the Gu family and wanted to divorce him. It must have been the young masters of the Gu family who seduced her.

Devon speculated about everything darkly, not reflecting on himself at all. He had regained his power because of his resentment, and he wanted to use this power to snatch his wife back.

Just as he snuck into the Gu family’s mansion, another figure sneaked in. The two of them almost hit each other, but Mao Feng recognized Devon.

“Didn’t you Country Y’s sorcerers boast about your noble bloodline? How did you end up in such a state?” Mao Feng could tell that Devon’s strength came from resentment and mockery.

Before Mao Feng betrayed his sect, he went overseas as an outstanding disciple and competed with the sorcerers of Country Y. At that time, he fought Devon to a draw, and both of them were unconvinced.

Moreover, the sorcerers of Country Y were particular about bloodlines. They looked down on the Soaring Cloud Sect’s method of relying on their master’s inheritance and thought that it had tainted the sacred bloodline of the sorcerers and formed a huge grudge.

Devon did not back down. “You don’t look any better now. I heard that you were expelled from the Soaring Cloud Sect. I guess you’re not having a good time either, right?”

Mao Feng was about to make a move, but he did not expect Yunbao to come out of the house to play with Lily. Mao Feng quickly pulled Devon into the grass and said, “I don’t want to fight you today. Don’t ruin my business.”

Devon could tell that Mao Feng’s target was Yunbao. He softened his tone and said, “I don’t have time to argue with you. I’m here to take my daughter away.

It’s best if we get along peacefully today..”
