Diwu Qingyun was still about to boast when he suddenly caught sight of Diwu Qingrou's icy gaze.
Beside him, two saint level experts from the fifth family wore expressions of despair, humiliation, and rage, glaring at him fiercely.
The two saint level experts were utterly crushed!
They were responsible for guarding Diwu Qingrou, and despite her numerous instructions, both had nevertheless promised her solemnly. Who would have thought that at the last moment, they would both be intimidated by the might of heaven and earth, and unconsciously become distracted?
Just at that moment, Diwu Qingyun had unfortunately barged in!
Diwu Qingrou's courtyard normally wouldn't see anyone for months on end. Moreover, she disliked being disturbed, preferring the utmost tranquility.
This time, to avoid any interruptions, Diwu Qingrou had specially invited two saint level ninth rank experts to guard her. She had stressed repeatedly to them to pay close attention to any movements outside. If anything happened, even if it involved killing someone, they were not to let anyone step inside!
From any angle, it appeared foolproof.
Yet, the situation was bizarre!
Just when it seemed foolproof, trouble emerged! And it happened at the last moment! The effort had gone to waste!
At the final moment, the door was actually smashed to pieces!
In that instant, the frustration in Diwu Qingrou's heart was indescribable.
However, he did not unleash his fury. He wearily shook his head, turned away, waved his hand, and softly said, "Drag him out and behead him."
Diwu Qingyun was horrified: “You... you betrayed me, and yet you still…”
But before he could finish speaking, he was seized by the two saint level experts, dragged away forcefully.
It was then that Diwu Qingyun understood that Diwu Qingrou was serious. He began to panic and struggle: “Qingrou! Qingrou! You... you can’t treat me this way! You can’t…”
As he was being dragged backwards, he shouted in despair, “I am a steward of the Zhuge family! What rights do you have to deal with me? What rights?!!”
Diwu Qingrou lowered his head, remaining silent for a long while, when suddenly a scream came from outside.
The two saint level experts flew back in and stood solemnly in front of Diwu Qingrou: “Qingrou… we…” Both wore expressions of uncontainable shame.
Diwu Qingrou sighed deeply and said blandly, “This is heaven’s secret… it’s not your fault.”
If he were to blame them, it would have been a bit more bearable for the two, but since he did not blame them, their faces turned pale and flushed with discomfort.
“It is my fault,” Diwu Qingrou said with a smile. “I should have anticipated this. Moreover, I should have stationed a few people at the door, but I didn’t think of it. This led to this incident…”
Then he tiredly waved his hand: “You two can go. I’ve suffered a backlash and need to rest well.”
The two saint level experts retreated with complicated expressions.
Diwu Qingrou slowly stood up, staggering slightly, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth again. His expression was somewhat weary, but filled with confusion.
“Why? I should have thought of having guards at the entrance; why didn’t I? Even if ordinary people exist, their lifelines could interfere with heaven's secret, but wouldn’t it just suffice to have someone standing at the street corner? Why didn’t I think of it?”
“This is simply unacceptable!”
Diwu Qingrou sighed.
In reality, this incident was indeed unfathomable. If one were to blame someone, there truly was no reason to do so. The two saint level guards were in a remote area; with the saint level divine thought encompassing the surroundings, there shouldn’t have been anyone able to intrude. How could they still be so violently disrupted? It was truly beyond comprehension.
Diwu Qingrou merely underestimated one factor: when using nine hearts measuring heaven, as long as that kind of situation appeared, anyone’s thoughts would be drawn in!
But this was Diwu Qingrou’s first time employing the nine hearts measuring heaven secret technique; how could he think of everything?
