Chapter 24
Lu Miao raised her eyebrows and registered an account. After posting a few threads, she went offline.
On the other side, Jiuhua Mountain.
Gu Shiyan sat on the futon. Beside him, Grandma Gu looked at Master Jiuhua, who was frowning, and asked nervously.
“Master, how is Ah Yan’s current situation?”
Master Jiuhua was silent for a long time before he said, ” The living dead. ”
Grandma Gu’s face instantly turned pale. ” Master, what do you mean? ”
Master Jiuhua changed the topic and asked directly, ” Has the Gu family invited any masters recently? ”
Grandma Gu shook her head. “. We’ve already looked for everyone in the industry who are highly respected, but they all said that there’s nothing we can do. ”
Otherwise, she would not have brought Gu Shiyan here overnight to wait for him to come out of seclusion.
Master Jiuhua frowned. ” Mr Gu’s situation is a death trap. According to his condition, he should have been dead a long time ago. ”
When Grandma Gu heard this, her vision turned black, and her body could not help but sway.
Gu Shiyan quickly reached out to help her.
Master Jiuhua poured some tea for her. After she had calmed down a little, he said, ” Don’t be anxious.
Although I don’t know why Mr. Gu is still alive and well, I think that there should be a noble person who intervened to break the situation.
Moreover, this person is at least at the Heavenly Master level who comes along only once in a hundred years.”
Grandma Gu’s expression became better. ” Heavenly Master? Master, are you sure?”
She naturally knew how precious the Taoist masters were in this era. They were a hundred times rarer than the national treasure, the giant panda.
Unless they took the initiative to show themselves, no one would be able to find them.
Master Jiuhua nodded. ” That’s right. This situation is extremely dangerous. If the person who breaks the situation is not careful, he will suffer a backlash and bring disaster upon himself.
Those who weren’t Heavenly Masters didn’t dare to touch it.
It’s just that this situation has not been completely resolved yet. That’s why Mr Gu has become like a living corpse now.”
Grandma Gu asked anxiously, ” Master, do you have a solution for this situation? ”
Master Jiuhua shook his head. ” I’m ashamed to say this. My ability is far from that of the Heavenly Master. I really can’t help you.
Why don’t you think about it carefully and see if your family has met any noble people recently?
As long as we find this noble, as long as he is willing to help, he will definitely have a way to protect Mr Gu’s life.”
Grandma Gu frowned and thought for a long time. She did not expect the Gu family to have met any noble people recently.
Beside her, Gu Shiyan’s fingertips gently rubbed the peach stone bracelet on his wrist, and his thin lips parted slightly.
“Master, how many years does it take to become a heavenly master?”
Master Jiuhua thought for a moment. ” Those with good talent will need 30 to 40 years. Those with bad talent will never have the chance. ”
Gu Shiyan’s hands paused.”Is it possible for a few years?” Or ten years?”
Master Jiuhua immediately denied it. ” That’s impossible. According to records, the youngest Taoist master in history was thirty-two years old.
That person entered the Dao at the age of five and became a heavenly master at the age of thirty-two. He had only cultivated for twenty-seven years in between. This was already top-notch talent.
It’s impossible for anyone to be younger than him.”
Gu Shiyan lowered his eyes slightly. Did it really have to take thirty to forty years?
The phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
After Gu Shiyan excused himself, he went out.
He walked to the courtyard and took out his phone to answer the call.
“I say, aren’t you too concerned about her?
You personally monitor such a small matter like the school forum’s revelations?
If you have even a fraction of the affection for her as you have for yourself, you wouldn’t have…”
Gu Shiyan said mercilessly, “Add another month.”
“Oh my god, you’re heartless when it comes to the opposite sex.”
Tang Mochen was about to cry. He was already exhausted from the one-month special training in the Sahara, and another month would be unbearable.
“Two…”
Tang Mochen quickly interrupted him.
“The defamatory posts of sister-in-law on the forum have been dealt with, and all the accounts that have posted those posts have been hacked.
However, I don’t know who just posted an interesting post. I’ve already sent it to your email. Do you want to deal with it?”
“How’s the investigation on the Lin family?”
“I hacked into Lin Bufan’s computer. He found that master in a mysterious forum on the internet.
The Codename is Mountain River, very popular on the forum.
However, this Master Mountain River has always been elusive and rarely comes online. I’ve tried to contact her, but I haven’t received any reply.”
Gu Shiyan paused. ” What about tracing the IP address? ”
“His IP address is protected by layers of encryption. Once I try to trace it, I will touch the protection program and immediately reverse the trace.
If it wasn’t for my skill and speed, I would have been tracked by him.”
“Got it. Keep a close eye on the Lin family. No matter who this Master Mountain River is, you have to find her.”
Gu Shiyan hung up the phone and opened his email. After reading the post, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
He immediately replied with a message, “No need. Have someone increase the exposure of this post and pin it on the top. Boost its exposure and prevent it from being deleted.”
On the other side of the phone, Tang Mochen silently mourned for the mastermind behind all the defamatory posts.
It was such a small matter, yet Mr Gu had to personally oversee it. It was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Gu Shiyan turned around, thought about it, and replied again.
“Arrange a plane. I want to go down the mountain.”
The next morning.
When Lu Miao got up, washed up, and went downstairs to eat breakfast, she unexpectedly saw Gu Shiyan at the dining table.
Seeing her, Gu Shiyan stood up and pulled out the chair next to him.
Lu Miao didn’t hesitate and sat down.
Shen Qinghe walked out of the kitchen with a beaming face, carrying a steaming hot soup dumpling.
“Miaomiao, this was just made by the chef of Red Goblet Square. You and Gu Shiyan should try it quickly and see if it suits your taste.
The tofu pudding will be ready soon.”
She had just said that she was going to poach the chefs yesterday afternoon, and this morning, they were already cooking for them at home.
Lu Miao was helpless. She didn’t particularly like soup dumplings, but she enjoyed the bustling atmosphere of street food stalls.
Seeing Shen Qinghe looking at her expectantly, she took a bite and nodded. ” Mmm, it’s delicious. ”
“As long as you like it.”
Shen Qinghe turned around with a smile and went upstairs to call Gu Xingyu.
Gu Shiyan glanced at her and said,”If you don’t like it, you don’t have to force yourself.”
“It’s not that. I just feel that there’s no need to go through so much trouble.” Lu Miao said directly.
Gu Shiyan reached out and elegantly scooped a bowl of soy milk for her and placed it in front of her.
“There’s no need to go through a lot of trouble. Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
If earning money isn’t for the purpose of providing a better life for you all, then everything I do is meaningless.”
You all?
Lu Miao lowered her eyes slightly.
Did he just include her in his list?
The two of them finished their breakfast quietly and Lu Miao greeted Gu Shiyan. She got up and went upstairs to take her bag and go to school.
Gu Shiyan stood up and picked up his coat from the chair at the side. ” I’ll send you off. ”
“No need. There’s a shared bike not far from the door. I’ll ride to school as a form of exercise.”
After Lu Miao finished speaking, she walked out.
Passing through the small garden at the entrance, she saw a shiny and eye-catching Porsche parked at the entrance.
