Chapter 78: He’s the only child who survived that tragedy at that time (part 4 of 4)

When Gu Wuji brought the jade pendant upstairs, Cheng Jia enthusiastically turned to look at Cheng Qing at once, “Elder brother, what is that jade pendant? This is the first time I saw Grandmaster Gu care about something so much.”

“You don’t need to know about this matter.” Cheng Qing glanced at Cheng Jia, “Compared with those things, why are you, a member of the Cheng family, working as an assistant for?”

Cheng Jia immediately stated: “Elder brother, I suddenly remembered of another matter I need to attend to, so, I’ll be going ahead.”

Cheng Qing shook his head upon seeing Cheng Jia hurriedly make his escape. He was already used to his cousin’s manner of ignoring proper duties.

In any case, such a relative was much better than those who always covet the properties of the Cheng family and wants to intervene at every given moment.

The butler came forward and said to Cheng Qing: “Young master, this time is really thanks to Grandmaster Gu.”

Although he had lost his memories after coming out from the instance. But he unspeakably feels a great respect towards Gu Wuji for some unknown reason. To put it briefly, he feels that the other party was truly very reliable!

Cheng Qing nodded, “I really don’t sense any evil intention from him…… However, I actually found out some interesting things. After a bit of probing just a moment ago, he certainly is the only child who survived that tragedy at that time……”

“What?” The butler instantly became perturbed, and seemed to have recalled something exceedingly horrifying, “If that’s the case, then do you want young master Cheng Jia to keep a bit of distance away from him? This is too dangerous.”

“No need. Doesn’t he look just fine now? I also haven’t heard of anything happening around him.” Cheng Qing shook his head, “On the contrary, it’s our Cheng family, who’s troubles may not be over just yet…… So, we might still need to rely on someone, which is Grandmaster Gu.”

The butler promptly nodded while being laden with anxiety, then said: “Young master, how do you want to handle Cheng Qi?”

“He’s also a member of the Cheng family after all. You can just casually select a place to raise him when the time comes.” Cheng Qing vocalized: “However, the origin of that child really makes me very concerned. After all, the fact that the mistress, raised by second uncle outside, had a miscarriage before, is really true, and she no longer became pregnant after that as well…… But this child’s test result, really proves that he is second uncle’s child no matter what……”

The butler broke into cold sweat, as some ominous thoughts floated in his mind. Truth be told, he still wanted to believe that this child was the result of the second master sleeping around with others, rather than the result of some unorthodox method.

“In any case, instruct some people to keep an eye on them during this time, so as to avoid any untoward incidents.”

“Yes.”

——

“Quickly move the things inside!” Cheng Jia ordered his bodyguards, as he stood in the corridor of the apartment.

Everyone swiftly moved all sorts of furniture into this residence. Thus, the originally spacious room suddenly seemed very cramped. Especially that big bed he specially selected, which occupied most of the room the instant it was moved in.

Cheng Jia would normally never live in such a place. But at this moment, in order to be a bit closer to Gu Wuji, this was the only possible method!

That’s right, Cheng Jia thought of an idea, which was to forcibly move in downstairs of Gu Wuji. In this way, not only can he live a bit closer to Gu Wuji, but there would also be no need to live in the same space as those ghosts.

""

This was almost the same in the Cheng’s house anyway. He was very moved by his brilliant idea. On top of that, Cheng Qing, his elder brother, was also very much in favor of his behaviour, which gave Cheng Jia even more courage.

Seeing as these people were almost done, Cheng Jia went upstairs to see Gu Wuji with gifts.

Gu Wuji’s door wasn’t closed. So, after receiving Gu Wuji’s permission, Cheng Jia promptly made the bodyguards bring the things over. But the moment he set foot inside, a terrible blast of ominous wind instantly made his scalp go numb.

He didn’t expect to instantly feel such a strong ominous wind by merely bringing some gifts to Gu Wuji at this time…… This was almost as terrible as the feeling in that room when he was held captive by Grandmaster Ning before, okay!

So much so, that the moment they had just entered the room, the picture frame hanging on the wall suddenly fell down the floor. There was even the sound of something rolling in the kitchen, even the balcony door rattled without wind.

There vaguely still seems to be the sound of someone weeping. The air, which seems to turn ice-cold,  subconsciously made them breath heavily.

Not to mention Cheng Jia, even the new bodyguard he found, who didn’t believe in these things the slightest, felt that something was wrong. These strong men, who were drenched in cold sweat, placed the things down, then left without delay.

If it were not due to Cheng Jia’s trust in Gu Wuji, he too, would have definitely broke into a run straightaway.

It was only at this time did Gu Wuji come out from inside, with an apron over his clothes and a kitchen knife at his hand. His entire person should have exuded a kind and virtuous feeling. But for some inexplicable reason, this made people feel numb all over, as if seeing a psychopath that had killed innumerable times.

Especially that kitchen knife in Gu Wuji’s hand, which also gave Cheng Jia the feeling as if it had seen countless bloodshed.

Gu Wuji was very ready to try his cooking skills this time. After all, after having gone through so many instances, Gu Wuji felt that his skill in using the kitchen knife has improved, so his cooking skills must have improved as well! So he eagerly headed in the kitchen once he returned.

“Grand-, Grandmaster Gu, what’s going on……” Cheng Jia asked with fear and trepidation, while looking around the room that had obviously been messed up a lot.

“It’s nothing much.” Looking around, Gu Wuji couldn’t help but frown a bit, before saying in a slightly helpless tone, “I have been away from home for so long after all, so everyone may have been upset. It’s just a bit of disagreement. Everything will be fine after I coax them.”

After Gu Wuji had said this, the activity in the room became even intenser, as if something unseeable appears to be objecting to this statement. However, Gu Wuji himself remained totally indifferent to this.

Cheng Jia: “!!” Truly-, truly worthy of Grandmaster Gu! Even in the face of these ghosts, it was just as if he was dealing with a naughty little lover. He even said it so nonchalantly.

That’s the Grandmaster Gu who was able to leave unscathed in the Shura field of two malicious spirits after all!

This made him increasingly feel that he should learn from Gu Wuji.

“Alright, I’m going to continue cooking now. Since your here, feel free to take a seat and have a meal with me later.” Gu Wuji went back into the kitchen after saying this line.

Cheng Jia felt incredibly touched at this moment. He didn’t expect that he’d actually be able to eat a meal personally cooked by Grandmaster Gu! This was such a great honor.

That shameless Xia Yangshuo, who wanted to hook up Grandmaster Gu before, must have never experienced this honor!

Cheng Jia, who held onto this kind of thoughts, would soon enough begin to regret this.
