114: Do you want to be the enemy of the Gu family?

Xiao Mingyan frowned slightly; he did not have evidence now, but that did not mean he could not find any!

A few troublemakers started shouting, saying that if it had nothing to do with them, they should be let go immediately.

After all, they had been investigating for a long time, just replaying the surveillance footage, and had not found anything conclusive.

Xiao Mingyan had no choice but to say that those who had nothing to do with Gu Xiaoyue could leave first.

Within five minutes, most of the people in the venue had already left.

Except for Gu Xiaoyue's friends and Coach Huo, He Zhichen, Lv Hao, and Su Anxi and their people also did not leave.

Gu Xiaoyue scanned Lv Hao and Su Anxi with her peripheral vision; she did not believe they stayed behind to back her up.

It was also unlikely they were there to kick someone while they were down; Gu Xiaoyue felt that they were mostly there to watch the show.

The venue was very quiet now, and Coach Huo spoke up, "President Xiao, why have you kept Gu Xiaoyue here?"

"I also think what that old gentleman said just now is very true; I am afraid the perpetrator has already fled."

Xiao Mingyan's face darkened, and he insisted, "She was the only one not in the venue at the time, so naturally, her suspicion is the greatest!"

If he let Gu Xiaoyue go, would looking for the perpetrator not be like looking for a needle in a haystack!

Coach Huo shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "But your crystal display stand even isolates Mental Power from talents above the Heavenly Level. I tried it before, too—it really is impossible to store auction items into the Yu Beast Space."

"Currently, everyone here knows that Gu Xiaoyue is a Human Level talent, so how could she have the means to commit the crime?"

Su Anxi secretly asked Lv Hao if he had tried to see if the crystal display stand could isolate his Mental Power when they were looking at the auction items earlier.

Lv Hao shook his head, and Su Anxi raised her hand and said, "President Xiao, my boyfriend has talent above the Heavenly Level. How about letting him test your crystal display stand?"

Although Coach Huo was a Legendary Beastmaster, his talent was indeed not as good as Lv Hao's, and he also wanted to know if this crystal display stand could really isolate the Mental Power of someone with talent above the Heavenly Level.

So everyone moved to the outer field, and Xiao Mingyan placed Gu Xiaoyue's last portion of Xisui Spring Water into the crystal display stand.

After closing it tightly, he signaled that Lv Hao could begin.

Half an hour passed, and the Xisui Spring Water was still lying quietly in the crystal display stand.

Lv Hao, on the other hand, was staring at the Xisui Spring Water, covered in sweat.

In the end, he withdrew his Mental Power and said dejectedly that it did not work; he gave up.

Su Anxi hurriedly went over to support Lv Hao's arm, carefully helping him wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Chu Li said to Xiao Mingyan provocatively, "Did you see that? Even someone with talent above the Heavenly Level could not do it, so stop hounding Xiao Yue!"

"The perpetrator has already run away, yet you are still here, picking a fight with us!"

Gu Xiaoyue finally could not hold back anymore and said with anger, "President Xiao, you are holding onto me; are you trying to declare war on the Gu Family?!"

Xiao Mingyan pushed up his glasses and narrowed his eyes.

He had almost forgotten that Gu Xiaoyue was the eldest legitimate daughter of the Gu Family, but so what?

He had never taken the Gu Family seriously!

If one were to trace it back to Gu Xiaoyue's great-grandfather's generation, the Gu Family was indeed much stronger than the Xiao Family.

However, in recent years, the Gu Family had not produced any remarkable figures, so it had naturally declined day by day.

Xiao Mingyan let out a cold snort, "So what if I make an enemy of your Gu Family?"

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoyue was burning with rage, "If you are unreasonable to my Gu Family today, I will make you pay it back a hundredfold in the future!"

Xiao Mingyan gave another cold laugh and turned to make a phone call; without needing to think, he was definitely planning to strike first.

Gu Xiaoyue felt a secret thrill, thinking that it would be best if that old man Gu Yongze could spar with Xiao Mingyan for a few more rounds and not lose immediately.

Before long, Xiao Mingyan returned, and he bowed respectfully to Coach Huo.

"Although there is still no clue about this matter so far, it is not good to delay your time any further—"

He looked at Gu Xiaoyue coldly and with a hint of triumph, "You can all leave now—"

His eyes seemed to be saying to Gu Xiaoyue, Don't think that this is the end; I will make the Gu Family pay the price!

Gu Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows and gave him a look that said, suit yourself.

He Zhichen leaned over to her, "Gu Xiaoyue, I want to play in Qingyu for a few days, you—"

Before he could finish, Chu Li and Shui Lingyu stood on his left and right.

"Playing in Qingyu? Welcome!"

Chu Li acted as if he were the host, and Shui Lingyu also said to include him.

Everyone left the auction venue; it was already past eleven, and the transport station had stopped running.

Coach Huo and his two assistants could not leave Qingyu.

Gu Xiaoyue invited them to stay at her house, but Coach Huo waved his hand, "I have a meeting tomorrow morning, so I will not go."

In the end, Coach Huo and his group had to find a hotel near the transport station to spend the night and take the earliest Albatross the next day to head back to the capital.

Chu Li wanted to arrange for He Zhichen to stay at the hotel where Shui Lingyu was.

Gu Xiaoyue also extended an invitation to Lv Hao and Su Anxi, "Since you have come to Qingyu, let us go and play for a few days together."

Su Anxi looked at Lv Hao with some anticipation, and only when Lv Hao nodded did she smile shyly.

Gu Xiaoyue knew they did not have any malicious intent; the matches in the National Competition were normal competitions, and there was no deep enmity between the two sides.

Besides, they would have to train together when they entered the National Team in the future.

Even if they could not become good friends, they naturally should not become enemies.

Three days later, Gu Xiaoyue, Chu Li, and Shui Lingyu went to the transport station to see off He Zhichen, Lv Hao, and Su Anxi.

Shui Lingyu also bid farewell to Gu Xiaoyue and Chu Li; the training was about to start, and he had to go back to Hechuan to pack up.

"Senior, can I ask you for a favor?"

Gu Xiaoyue told Shui Lingyu about her plan to buy a house in Hechuan.

Chu Li was confused for a few seconds; had Xiao Yue not said before that she was going to move to the capital, and now she wanted to buy a house in Hechuan?

Immediately, he understood; saying she was going to the capital was probably just something to say to Gu Qi and his wife.

Gu Xiaoyue still had to go back to Nanya to attend school, so naturally, buying a house in Hechuan was more suitable.

"I still have a few properties under my name; I can transfer one to your aunt and uncle."

Shui Lingyu appreciated Gu Xiaoyue, so since she had asked, there was naturally no problem.

Gu Xiaoyue took out a tianling fruit and stuffed it into Shui Lingyu's hand, "Then I will trouble you, Senior. Please choose one with the best security for me!"

"I will pack up in the next two days, and once I am done, I will come to Hechuan to find you."

After they agreed, Shui Lingyu boarded the Albatross back to Hechuan, and Gu Xiaoyue went home to pack her things.

Gu Xiaoyue told Gu Yu and Mu Qingning about her arrangements, and the family of three started packing.

Mu Qingning had finished her postpartum confinement a few days ago and was already able to hold Gu Xiaoyang and sit on the Albatross.

Gu Xiaoyue arranged for them to stay in the house Shui Lingyu had chosen for them.

There was no time for the transfer procedures, so Shui Lingyu let them stay there first, and it would not be too late to handle it after the training ended.

After setting up the new home with Gu Yu and Mu Qingning, Gu Xiaoyue and Shui Lingyu headed to the capital a day early.

Wu Yan and Jiang Xuan took them to their respective dormitories.

The National Team had single rooms, and Gu Xiaoyue was in the middle of tidying up the room.

"Bang!"

Her door was kicked open, and the person outside shouted loudly, "Is Gu Xiaoyue living in this room?!"
