227: Chapter 227: Unexpected Discovery!
Xu Qingqing’s eyes instantly flashed with a peculiar brilliance when she heard Zhou Yu’s name.
However, she remembered that after Zhou Yu had healed her, her father had forbidden her from contacting Zhou Yu again.
The reason was that Zhou Yu was engaged, and it was to avoid suspicion.
“Dad, do we not have to avoid suspicion now?”
Xu Zongnian cleared his throat.
“Qingqing, I only recently found out that Zhou Yu and his fiancée are only engaged in name, they haven’t even obtained a marriage certificate.”
“Since there’s no certificate, I think if you like him as well, it wouldn’t hurt to try and pursue him.”
Xu Qingqing’s face instantly blushed crimson.
“Dad, what are you saying?”
Xu Zongnian chuckled.
“Alright, hurry up and get ready to go.”
With a blushing face, Xu Qingqing ran out.
After finishing his cultivation, Zhou Yu walked out of the bamboo forest and realized it was already afternoon.
At this moment, Lin Wanhao, dressed in a neat suit, descended from upstairs.
Seeing Zhou Yu, he was taken aback.
Zhou Yu, I was just about to call you.
When did you get back?”
Zhou Yu smiled sheepishly, not wanting to admit that he had been back for a while and was just in the bamboo forest outside.
“Uncle Lin, I’ve just returned.”
“Oh, have you dealt with yesterday’s matters?”
“They’re taken care of.”
“Nothing went wrong, right?”
“Then that’s perfect.
Xu is treating, inviting our Lin Family over, and he specifically asked me to invite you.
If you’re not busy, let’s go now.”
Zhou Yu was startled.
“The Family Head of Xu Family, Mr.
Xu Zongnian.” Lin Wanhao said excitedly.
“He’s one of the top figures in Yancheng.
We can’t afford to slight him.”
Zhou Yu was startled again.
Recently, the Xu Family seemed to have vanished; why would they suddenly invite us to dinner at this critical moment?
Could it be related to the death of the Heavenly Master Jin Dingtian?
After some thought, Zhou Yu did not refuse.
Although the Xu Family was no longer significant in his eyes, it remained an insurmountable mountain for Lin Wanhao.
Lin Wanhao drove, taking Zhou Yu to a restaurant in Yancheng.
From afar, Zhou Yu saw Xu Zongnian and Xu Qingqing waiting at the entrance.
After Lin Wanhao parked the car, Xu Zongnian hurriedly came to welcome them.
Zhou, please come in.”
Lin Wanhao seemed somewhat flattered.
Xu, you are too kind, I can’t believe you came to meet us in person.”
“It’s the least I can do.
Zhou Yu saved my daughter’s life; it’s as if the Lin Family has done my Xu Family a great favor.”
At this time, Xu Qingqing’s face was slightly red, but still, she greeted Zhou Yu with a generous smile.
It’s been a long time.”
Xu Qingqing was dressed up beautifully tonight.
In a pale purple dress that showed off her flawless arms and legs, she looked both noble and a little playful, incredibly eye-catching.
Zhou Yu stared intently at Xu Qingqing.
Noticing Zhou Yu’s fixed gaze, her face flushed with a rising blush, and she awkwardly lowered her head.
Lin Wanhao couldn’t bear to watch.
How could you stare at a girl like that?
Just as he was about to remind Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu suddenly said,
“Qingqing, have you experienced any unusual conditions these past few days?”
Xu Qingqing was taken aback but then her cheeks flushed red with a ‘whoosh’.
it’s not that time yet…”
Zhou Yu was also startled and quickly corrected himself:
“I mean, have you felt any discomfort in your body?
For example, occasional sharp pains in your heart.”
Only then did Xu Qingqing understand what Zhou Yu was asking…
She covered her face with her hands and said with her head lowered,
It started suddenly yesterday.”
what’s wrong with me?”
Zhou Yu spoke gravely:
“You’ve been bewitched.”
“Bewitched???” Both Xu Qingqing and Xu Zongnian’s faces changed drastically.
Xu Zongnian asked anxiously:
Zhou, what exactly is going on?
how could she be bewitched?
What will happen to her after being bewitched?”
Zhou Yu shook his head:
“She has been bewitched for no more than two days.
The person who cast the spell seems to fear exposure, so they covered it up very well.
There won’t be any serious symptoms for a short time.”
If it weren’t for Zhou Yu’s keen Divine Sense, he wouldn’t have noticed Xu Qingqing being bewitched.
“Who have you been in contact with these past two days?”
Xu Qingqing recalled and then said:
“I’ve mostly been at home these last two days.
Other than my parents, I haven’t really seen anyone…
no, wait, my maternal uncle stopped by to see me.”
As she said this, Xu Qingqing’s expression turned ugly.
“Could it be my uncle?”
Xu Zongnian’s expression also darkened, seeming somewhat in disbelief.
After a moment of silence, he then asked.
Zhou, can you lift the curse from my daughter?”
“Yes, but I need a quiet place.”
Zhou, I will have the hotel arrange it right away.”
Xu Zongnian led Zhou Yu into the hotel.
Soon, the hotel staff arranged a resting room for Zhou Yu and Xu Qingqing.
Xu Qingqing lay on the bed, and Zhou Yu took a deep breath.
“Qingqing, you need to take off your shirt!”
