Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor-Chapter 2680 - Wrong

Guo Xinning paused for a moment as if contemplating how to say it. It took him a while before he spoke. “Father, two of the three people present today are the Xie’s siblings and the other one is Feng Jiu. We met them in the forest. They claimed to have become separated from their family and had lost their way.”

Patriarch Guo was taken aback when he heard this. “Oh? The Xie clan? Which Xie clan? Their cultivation strength seemed to be in the Foundation Formation stage. What kind of family would allow their juniors into that place to gain experience?”

Guo Xinning let out a wry smile as he heard his father’s remark. It seemed that even his father could not see through Feng Jiu’s strength. How powerful was Feng Jiu?

“I’m not sure which Xie clan they are because we haven’t asked where they’re from.”

“So, they pleaded with you to bring them out?” Patriarch Guo looked at his son. “Did this incident have anything to do with them?” He noticed that all of the Guo family disciples were injured, but the three looked seemed to be in good spirits and uninjured.

Guo Xinning shook his head. “It is somewhat complicated. Initially, they only asked us how to leave the forest.” Xie Yutang only asked how to get out of the forest at first, but he then invited them to join him.

“They travelled alongside us. The journey was relatively uneventful. Even though we occasionally encountered ferocious beasts, they were few. Several ferocious beasts were no match for us until a pack of wolves attacked us.”

He seemed entangled as he said this. “There were dozens of wolves in the pack, and the wolf king was not only at the level of Saint Beast, but had also attained the level of Sacred Beast. To repel the wolves, the Great Elder and Uncle Sun went to fight the wolf king. In the end, both of them were hurt, particularly the Great Elder.”

“Everyone was injured in this battle and the wounds were severe. However, neither Feng Jiu nor the Xie siblings were hurt during the fight.”

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Guo’s grim expression changed to one of amazement. “If even you are injured, why aren’t the three of them hurt? What is the reason?”

“Indeed! Who will believe that the three of them were not injured when we ourselves were injured?” He murmured with a wry smile. “I also asked at the time, and they said it was because of the protection of our Guo disciples that they didn’t get hurt.”

Patriarch Guo twisted his brows and spoke without hesitation. “Would the Guo family disciples, who couldn’t even defend themselves, also protect them? Impossible.”

“Father sees the situation thoroughly.” He looked at his father and replied, “I suppose nothing would have happened afterwards if I had seen that clearly at the time.”

“What happened afterwards?” Patriarch Guo’s heart started to palpitate, but even he was unable to guess what had happened to them.

Guo Xinning didn’t tell him what happened next, only saying, “Father, we were seriously wounded and it was late at night, so we didn’t leave after being attacked by the wolves and just rested there.”

“What?”

Patriarch Guo was surprised. “There was a heavy stench of blood after the battle, but you stayed? The smell of blood must have tempted the beast to attack you once again as the night became darker. That’s why your team members were killed and injured so heavily, right?” 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

“No.” Guo Xinning looked at him while shaking his head. “You’re wrong.”
