Mrs. Tang swiftly grabbed a hold of Gu Wuji and asked, “Is there something wrong with that child?”
Gu Wuji shook his head, “I’m not too certain…… But he should really be the child of the second master.”
Mrs. Tang couldn’t help but feel a bit of disappointment. But she also knew that this matter won’t be resolved in such a short time, so she just thanked Gu Wuji.
As for those several bodyguards, since they had yet to regain their sanity, and would still subconsciously attack the people near them until now. So, they were immediately handed over to the authorities.
Cheng Qing pensively glanced at Gu Wuji, before ordering the people around him to bring the other party to the hospital first.
That middle-aged man was a bit discontented. But since his bodyguards had done such a thing, as well as having almost hit the heir of the Cheng family…… If it were not for Gu Wuji, then he would’ve had most likely offended the Cheng family considerably. He also no longer had the audacity to keep on staying here. Therefore, he could only express his thanks to Gu Wuji, before hurriedly leaving to deal with the other matters.
…………
……
The funeral finally came to a conclusion.
Cheng Jia seems to have also taken a huge load off his shoulders. He then told Gu Wuji with a bit of complicated expression: “I’ve rarely seen my father since I was a kid. I didn’t think I’d be unable to see him even for the last time. Even though he’s such a hateful person, it still feels a little bit regretful.”
""
Gu Wuji couldn’t understand this matter as well, so, he just patted Cheng Jia on the shoulder, which immediately made the latter feel elated.
“But Grandmaster Gu, what do you think of that kid, my little brother?” Even though Cheng Jia looks like one of those ignorant and incompetent second generations, but he’ll still easily feel softhearted in the face of these kind of matters, “In fact, I don’t think there’s anything wrong in bringing him back. But mother won’t be happy……. Our Cheng family has so many houses anyway. In the end, he can just be raised in one of those houses.”
“I think that kid is pretty good.” Gu Wuji thought for a moment, before saying: “But he gives off a very strange feeling. Do you have their background information?”
“Ah, mother has been looking into those things. I didn’t pay much attention to this.” As soon as Cheng Jia heard Gu Wuji ask for this, he immediately had goosebumps, as he promptly responded: “I will sort it all out by tomorrow. Grandmaster Gu, if there’s really something wrong, then I’ll still request for assistance from you!”
After having been involved in so many dangerous situations, and having nearly lost his life several times, Cheng Jia has already become someone who’ll be vigilant upon hearing the grass stirring in the wind by now. He never wanted to go through those kind of miseries again.
Gu Wuji nodded, thinking that if something were to truly happen, then the talisman he gave should also have a bit of effect. If not, then there’s still that Rubik’s cube, which should be of some help as well.
“Speaking of which, elder brother is also very interested in Grandmaster Gu. So, he asked whether you’d like to join for dinner tonight.” Cheng Jia looked very worried expression while saying this. After all, he fears and respects Cheng Qing, this elder brother, as well as complete reverence and admiration towards Gu Wuji. Thus, he was quite worried, that if some contradiction arises between the two, then things would become problematic.
“No problem” Gu Wuji then said: “Moreover, it’s now almost time for me to return home as well.”
Cheng Jia instantly felt a surge of anxiety, “What happened? Did we fail in providing you proper hospitality somewhere? Grandmaster Gu, I will definitely see to those problems at once!” He didn’t have the courage to live in a place without Gu Wuji, ah!
“That’s not it at all.” Gu Wuji nonchalantly expressed: “After all, to be away for so long, also made me miss those at home a little.”
Recalling those terrible things he encountered upon taking the initiative to clean up the last time he went to Gu Wuji’s home, immediately made Cheng Jia filled with fear. That he couldn’t say anything, even if he wanted to say that he also wanted to live there.
But he really couldn’t stop Grandmaster Gu from going to reunite with ‘those at home’. This really gave him a huge dilemma.
“Actually, there’s really no need for you to be so worried about this problem.” Gu Wuji patted the shoulder of the very pale Cheng Jia one more time, “Essentially, due to that ceremony performed by that Grandmaster Ning during that time, there still exists a few lingering evil breath of a malicious spirit. So ordinary ghosts will never dare to provoke you.”
Cheng Jia: “……” Is this really not a problem!!

Afterwards, Gu Wuji’s dinner with Cheng Qing advanced very smoothly.
Cheng Qing was truly quite a conversationalist, that he could even find topics to eloquently talk about with Gu Wuji. He even allowed Gu Wuji to take the initiative to exchange quite a lot of views with him.
This matter made Cheng Jia, who was seated on the side, have a sour feeling in his chest. He had been interacting with Grandmaster Gu for so long, yet he still couldn’t figure out the interests of Grandmaster Gu even until now!
But at the same time, Cheng Jia also felt proud of his elder brother. Really worthy of his elder brother, to be this levelheaded in the face of Gu Wuji. Even if he felt that these two seems to be just talking about the ordinary entertainment circle……
Cheng Qing soon after thanked Gu Wuji for taking care of his cousin during this period of time as well, “I have also heard a bit about what had happened at home before. I’m really very thankful to you during my period of absence. Grandmaster Gu, please accept this thing.”
Gu Wuji originally thought of refusing. But when he looked down, the thing that came into view, was actually a jade pendant.
Moreover, this jade pendant, unlike those ordinary jade pendants, exuded a peculiar feeling. He even felt an amazing sense of familiarity after laying his hand on it. Gu Wuji subconsciously kept this jade pendant, then quickly thanked Cheng Qing for this gift immediately after.
Although he still couldn’t figure out what that feeling coming from the jade pendant was, but he knows that this was certainly not an ordinary object to him.
Mrs. Tang swiftly grabbed a hold of Gu Wuji and asked, “Is there something wrong with that child?”
Gu Wuji shook his head, “I’m not too certain…… But he should really be the child of the second master.”
