You Wen Yas expression changed. She then softened her tone and continued, Wen Yue, youre a member of the Wen family as well so you understand the Art of Puppet-Making. Gu Shengxiaos willpower is far too strong so even though weve refined him into a puppet, hes now only in a half-controlled state! However, you must understand that based on our Wen familys abilities, its only a matter of time before we gain full control of him. Therefore, you must marry the Left Emissary or Gu Shengxiao will not survive!

Besides Wen Ya sneered and continued, As a slave, Gu Shengxiao cannot attack his Master! If the Wen family tries to kill him, he cant fight back. Yueer, are you certain that you want to watch him die?

Wen Yue took a deep breath.

She knows that Wen Ya has found her weak spot.

Gu Shengxiao was her weak spot!

I will marry him.

Those words seemed to have taken all of her energy to say and caused her body to droop and nearly collapse on the ground.

If you had listened obediently in the first place, wouldnt we be done with the matter already? Wen Yas voice turned warm and gentle again. Yueer, tomorrow is your wedding day. I hope that you will make the preparations today.

After that, Wen Ya left the room, leaving Wen Yue to stare out the window and daydream all on her own.

Tears were streaming down Wen Yues beautiful face and she lifted her hand to gently wipe them off. Her pale face was full of despair and agony.

Big Brother Gu, I dont want to marry anyone but you but I cant act of my own free will now. I will marry the Left Emissary for your sake and I will live well. Only then will they stop giving you trouble.

Still, you really are quite silly, Big Brother Gu. You had clearly managed to escape that day yet youve come back to this place! I know that you had wanted to raise your power level to save your sister and the only way you can receive an instant increase in power was to be turned into a puppet.

So, I had chosen to support you then. I know that whatever decision youve made, it would be the right one. Big Brother Gu, I really wish I could see you again one last time. You are so outstanding, so brave, so perfect

Those handsome yet cold features floated into her minds eye. Wen Yue smiled but her smile was very sad and her eyes carried a tragic air.

However

She understood that she could not possibly see him again in this lifetime.

Is this the Wen family home?

Gu Ruoyun paused on the street as she stared at the bright red banner with the word happiness on Wen family gate in front of her. She raised her brows, Is someone getting married in the Wen family?

Hehe, dont you know, Miss?

A passerby overheard Gu Ruoyuns words and kindly explained to her, Its the Wen familys Second Young Lady, Wen Yues wedding day. Wen Yues intended is a man with unmatched qualities! Have you heard of the Secret Order? Shes getting married to the Secret Orders Left Emissary. Tsk, tsk. I really dont know what kind of luck the Wen family has run into to be able to receive the favor of a member of the Secret Order! The Wen familys marriage sedan has just left, likely on its way to the Secret Order.

Initially, not many people had known about the Secret Orders existence.

However, the Secret Order has appeared before the eyes of the world ever since the assessment.

The First Citys citizens could be excused for being ignorant when it comes to the Four Great Protectors and they could also be excused for not knowing the Governors identity. However, all of them were familiar with the meaning behind the words Secret Order.
