When Ke Ting heard Gui Ying’s words, his heart sank. Gui Ying’s words matched what the doctors had said.
Gui Xiaoxu wouldn’t live past thirty.
As the atmosphere in the main hall turned heavy, Gui Ying calmly sipped his tea and glanced at Gui Xiaoxu. Seeing his gloomy expression, Gui Ying set down his empty teacup.
"To unlock your seal is actually very easy."
The moment he said that, both Gui Xiaoxu and Ke Ting looked up at the same time.
Gui Xiaoxu’s fingers tightened as he asked, "How do I unseal it?"
Gui Ying calmly replied, "The seal was created to suppress the Gui Clan’s power in this world, where spiritual energy no longer exists. To unseal it, you simply need to return to our original world, absorb enough spiritual energy, and the seal will break by itself."
When Gui Ying finished speaking, Gui Xiaoxu’s expression darkened.
Noticing the change in his expression, Gui Ying raised a brow and asked, "What? You don’t believe this young master’s words?"
"It’s not that I don’t believe you," Gui Xiaoxu said with a frown. "It’s just... I don’t know which world to return to, or how to return. This is reality, not some kind of fantasy novel. How could we travel between worlds so easily?"
Gui Ying laughed at that and asked, "Don’t you want to know how this young master entered your mansion?"
Seeing Gui Xiaoxu just stare at him silently, Gui Ying rolled his eyes and muttered, "You are no fun."
After grumbling, he continued, "This young master found the Yang Mirror’s new master."
"Thanks to her, this young master was able to take advantage when the Yang Mirror opened the space portal and found you without the need to travel through the underworld first. It saved this young master a lot of time and spiritual energy."
Gui Xiaoxu listened patiently and asked, "Who is the Yang Mirror’s new master?"
Hearing that question, Gui Ying tilted his head slightly, looking confused. "You don’t know? This young master thought you two were acquainted since this young master sensed your aura from her. It’s faint, but it’s there."
Pondering on his words, Gui Xiaoxu’s eyes flickered with realization, and a name escaped his lips. "Bai Hanyun."
Nodding in satisfaction, Gui Ying said with a playful smile on his red lips, "Not bad. You are not as stupid as this young master thought."
Getting the answer to his doubt, Gui Xiaoxu stood up and walked out of the main hall.
Seeing him leave, Gui Ying quickly stood as well, then put the tea set, jade table, and jade stools back into his spatial ring.
"Hey, where are you going?" he called, chasing after Gui Xiaoxu and Ke Ting.
Glancing sideways at Gui Ying, Gui Xiaoxu replied calmly, "To find Miss Bai." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ Nove1Fire.net
Without waiting for Gui Ying’s response, he ordered, "Ke Ting, settle him down and wait for me to return."
Ke Ting nodded. "Yes, Boss."
When Gui Xiaoxu stepped into the elevator, Ke Ting blocked Gui Ying’s path and said, "You should come with me. We will prepare food and a room for you to stay in while you are here."
Hearing this, Gui Ying fell silent for a few seconds before sneering, "Trying to imprison this young master? You must be tired of living."
The moment he said that, Ke Ting felt his vision darken.
The last thing he saw was Gui Ying snorting with disdain and saying coldly, "A mere mortal dares block this young master’s way? Truly ignorant of the height of heaven and the depth of hell!"
As he lost consciousness, Ke Ting cursed inwardly, ’Damn it... I was careless...’
Gui Ying looked at Ke Ting, who was lying unconscious on the cold floor, for a moment before flipping his palm and taking out a thin, soft blanket from his spatial ring.
"Look at this young master. So good to you, youngster," Gui Ying muttered with pride and helplessness in his lazy voice as he casually covered Ke Ting with the blanket.
After making sure Ke Ting was completely covered, Gui Ying snapped his fingers and disappeared.
Before long, a servant carrying cleaning tools entered, saw the body on the floor, and screamed in horror, "Someone has been killed! Guards! Guards!"
When the patrolling guards arrived, they pulled away the blanket and saw Ke Ting lying there.
"Boss!" they exclaimed in shock as they rushed to check his pulse.
A few seconds later, one of the guards sighed in relief. "He is still alive. Let’s take him to the infirmary and have the doctor check on him."
"Let’s go, let’s go."
With that, the guards quickly brought a stretcher and carefully carried the unconscious Ke Ting to the infirmary as quickly as they could.
At the same time, inside a luxurious car, Gui Ying suddenly appeared beside Gui Xiaoxu.
Looking at the small box moving at high speed, he frowned slightly and said in displeasure, "What kind of spiritual artifact is this? Why is it so cramped and dark?"
When Gui Xiaoxu heard this, he froze. He turned to his side, then stared at Gui Ying in disbelief as his mind raced.
’This car is moving at a speed of one hundred kilometers per hour. How could he suddenly appear inside it? Could the legend be true—that my Gui Clan’s origin lies in the strongest immortal clan?’
While Gui Xiaoxu was lost in thought, Gui Ying lost interest in the car and said, "This young master is tired. Let’s go find Fairy Bai after this young master has rested."
Thinking it would be impolite to visit Bai Hanyun without an invitation, Gui Xiaoxu agreed and ordered, "Go to my apartment."
"Yes, CEO Gui," the driver responded, then changed lanes.
At the same time, Bai Hanyun and the others arrived at the team’s rented apartment in Shang Du City.
Hua Yuyu opened the door and said, "Miss Bai, please come in."
Following him, Bai Hanyun stepped inside and saw that it was a four-bedroom apartment. Seeing the complete furnishings, she commented, "This place isn’t bad."
Hua Yuyu gestured for her and Feng Wu to take a seat while he went to the kitchen to brew tea.
