“She should be at the Martial Master level by now. After all, doesn’t the Shen Family prioritize the cultivation of its younger generation? With my daughter achieving Martial Master status, my father will surely take notice, making it easier for her to reclaim those belongings,” Gu Chaoyan remarked.

Lady You, still wrestling with feelings of self-pity, was stunned when she heard her daughter claim to have broken through to the Martial Master realm. It took her a moment to process this astonis.h.i.+ng news.

“What?” Lady You’s face registered disbelief. “Lianxue, are you saying you’ve already reached the Martial Master Realm?”

Gu Chaoyan, in the guise of Shen Lianxue, nodded in affirmation.

She chose not to exaggerate, opting to state that she had attained the level of a

Martial Master. Fortunately, she refrained from declaring her true status as a Martial G.o.d. Given the underdeveloped state of martial arts civilization in this place, such a claim might have been met with skepticism or concern that she had lost her sanity.

Lady You’s expression s.h.i.+fted from disbelief to excitement and touched.

“Incredible! I never expected that my daughter would encounter good fortune after surviving that ordeal. Reaching the rank of a Martial Master means no one in the family will dare to mistreat you anymore. The Qian Family will surely reconsider the marriage proposal,” Lady You exclaimed with enthusiasm.

Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but feel exasperated.

Lady You had likely endured years of mistreatment within the Shen family, leaving her feeling helpless even when presented with the prospect of her daughter’s elevated status. She even entertained the idea of approaching the Qian Family to prevent the annulment of the engagement.

But Gu Chaoyan had no intention of marrying into the Qian Family. Her desires went beyond merely avoiding mistreatment; she aimed to make everyone in the family fear Shen Lianxue and help her recover everything she had lost in the past.

However, Gu Chaoyan chose not to disclose these plans to Lady You. She couldn’t fathom how Lady You’s personality had changed so swiftly after enduring years of mistreatment.

It was a relief that she was no longer feeling anxious.

With her decision firmly made, Gu Chaoyan wasted no time. She resolved to head directly to the Qian Family. Time was of the essence, and she aimed to complete the task swiftly, allowing her to focus on her cultivation and address the issues within the Shenyou Empire.

Choosing the Qian Family as her starting point made sense for several reasons.

Firstly, the Qian Family’s Young Master, Qian Ziang, had wronged Shen Lianxue and proposed the annulment of their engagement. Secondly, Shen Lianxue’s untimely demise had strong ties to the Qian Family.

In light of these circ.u.mstances, there seemed to be no better place to begin than with the Qian Family.

The Young Master of the Qian Family bore similarities to the head of the Shen Family. Just as the Shen Family’s head had deceived Lady You into relinquis.h.i.+ng her possessions, the Qian Family’s Master had similarly tricked Lady You, leaving her bereft. In the case of the Qian Family’s Young Master, he had directly called off the engagement after his deception involving Shen Lianxue’s belongings.

Shen Lianxue and her daughter appeared somewhat naive, lacking defensive measures against such deceit. However, as long as they exercised caution, they could avoid falling into such dire straits.

If the engagement was terminated, so be it.

What mattered most was retrieving what had been lost.

Leaving the mansion behind, Gu Chaoyan ventured alone to the Qian Family. Fortunately, the Qian Family was located nearby, in close proximity to the Shen Family.

With Shen Lianxue’s memories guiding her, Gu Chaoyan swiftly located the Qian Family’s residence.

“I wish to speak with your Young Master,” she declared..
