Rebirth of an Idle Noble Women (200-end)

376-378

Chapter 376: You Want To Make Him Kneel Before You?

Within a fraction of a second, they recognized who the young woman, who appeared out of nowhere, was.

Although they could sense that something had changed about her, there was no doubt as to her identity.

She was the one and only! Miss Gu! The bastion of hope for the ancient martial arts world!

They thought both Gu Xiqiao and Jiang Shuxuan had already fallen on the battlefield. But she was here alright! Gu Xiqiao! She’s back!

“Miss Gu!” The first person to call out to her was the great elder who was walking behind Jiang Han. His eyes were open so wide that they almost popped out of their sockets. He could not believe Gu Xiqiao had truly come back. Raising his hand, he rubbed his eyes to make sure they weren’t fooling him. Underneath the sunlight, a being as radiant as a shining crystal appeared before him.

Gu Xiqiao had really come back. He called out her name softly with a trembling voice.

“Qiao Qiao…” Shu Chen approached her. With shaky hands, she grabbed Gu Xiqiao’s hands and caressed her face. She was relieved upon realizing that what she was feeling was warm and alive…

Shu Chen could not hold back her tears, which flowed uncontrollably down her cheeks. As her mother-in-law, this was the first time Shu Chen broke down into tears before Gu Xiqiao.

It was as if her soul had withered away after she was informed by the Elders’ Pavilion about Gu Xiqiao and Jiang Shuxuan’s deaths. In the blink of an eye, not only had she lost her own son, but her beloved daughter-in-law as well. This was the ultimate blow against her morale. Still, it was not the time to wallow in anguish. With an iron-will, she continued assisting the ancient martial arts world by maintaining peace and stability. After all, this was the best way she could make sure that their deaths would not have been in vain!

However, the amount of stress she was facing was overwhelming. Seeing Gu Xiqiao return was the final spark that lit up the bonfire of emotions, which was channeled out of her body through her tear ducts. Gradually, she felt a heavy weight fall off her shoulders.

She knew that Gu Xiqiao’s return meant that the problem they were facing was no longer a problem!

“Mom, I’m sorry for making you worry,” Gu Xiqiao hugged Shu Chen and apologized. “It’s alright, Brother Jiang’s safe and sound. He’ll be back in no time.”

“As long as you two can return, all is well…” Shu Chen knew that Gu Xiqiao’s sudden return meant that there must be quite a lot of things to do. Not wishing to hold her back, Shu Chen returned to Jiang Han’s side.

Gu Xiqiao looked over at Tengen. “Thank goodness we have you around, Tengen.”

Tengen was visibly excited when he received that compliment from Gu Xiqiao. “Master, you’ve come back!”

“That’s right,” answered Gu Xiqiao with a light smile. Although her smile was subtle, it was enough to calm down the chaotic atmosphere that was plaguing this place.

“Let’s not delay things now,” said the Great Elder. “Miss Gu, the morale of the ancient martial arts world is at an all-time low. Do hurry up and tell them about your return! They’ll be overjoyed!”

“Alright,” replied Gu Xiqiao while nodding. She then looked up at the sky.

This time, she did not float up into the air as she did previously.

Instead, what they saw was the clouds parting way, revealing a colossal silhouette of a person up in the sky. Slowly, the silhouette solidified into an actual physical entity.
