Chapter 16: Gu Ji, I am your father

Qiao Yizhi slammed his head to the ground, "Thank you, thank you!!!"

Just at this moment, Xiaojie woke up. His soul returned to his body, and he was still a little dazed when he woke up.

His memories suddenly hit his head, and Xiao Jie couldn't digest them for a moment, and his head was splitting with pain.

A pair of hands slowly embraced him, without any warmth, even a little cold, but his heart was warm.

"Xiaojie, mom is here."

In Xiaojie's memory, Wang Shiman is his mother, but his soul and two spirits are trapped in Wang Shiman's body. Now he returns to his body and knows that Qiao Yizhi is his biological mother.

No wonder he liked Jun Zhu so much. Even though Jun Zhu was very indifferent to him at that time, he naturally felt that Jun Zhu was a good person.

On the contrary, he had no good feelings towards his 'biological mother' Wang Shiman, and even felt a little scared.

He hugged Qiao Yizhi and carefully held Qiao Yizhi's face to look at it.

Xiao Jie's young face was filled with heartache. With trembling hands, he tucked Qiao Yizhi's hair behind her ears, "Mom."

He finally called out the two words that Qiao Yizhi had wanted to hear for many years.

"Hey, Mommy's here, Mommy's here!"

"……mom."

Outside the door, Jun Zhu's voice was wrapped in his tears. The moment he called out "Mom", his tears fell to the ground, raising inconspicuous dust.

Mom is still as gentle as I remember.

She tried hard to force a smile, "Azhu, come here to mommy."

Junzhu is no longer the child he used to be, the one who would happily rush over and hug his mother when she called him.

His childhood also rotted away the moment his mother died.

Jun Zhu didn't even know how to respond at that moment.

Suddenly, he felt a strong gaze beside him.

He turned his head, and Gu Ji looked at him with her eyes that were so big that they seemed a little scary. "Why are you standing there? If you miss your mother so much, go hug her and kiss her. She will leave in the morning. Tell her how much you have been wronged over the years. She will definitely feel sorry for you and kiss you. Tell her that you are very successful now. She will definitely be proud of you and then leave with peace of mind."

right.

He can say these things.

Jun Zhu took a step forward. Those eyes gave him confidence. He said thank you and walked slowly to Qiao Yizhizi's side.

Qiao Yizhi stretched out her hand and said, "Azhu, it's my fault these years. I've wronged you."

Mom has some magical abilities. Jun Zhu took off his usual cold disguise. He hugged his mother and Xiao Jie, and the three of them whispered to each other.

Gu Ji was watching from the side, and his eyes felt a little warm.

She had rehearsed those words in her mind for a long, long time. If she found her parents, she would hug them and tell them that she had been wronged over the years, but she was not defeated. She was very strong and survived and became a super powerful judge.

Mom and Dad must be proud of me, right?

But where are mom and dad?

As he thought about it, Gu Ji's tense nerves gradually relaxed and he gradually fell asleep.

She is too tired.

Gu Ji curled up on the cold and hard ground, listening to the gentle words not far away. She thought her mother would be so gentle too.

Half asleep and half awake, a pair of warm hands picked her up. Was it her mother?

“Mom…Mom…”

She murmured.

Jun Zhu froze for a moment, then lowered his eyes to look at the girl with tears hanging on her eyelashes.

He knew too well what it felt like to dream about his mother, so he didn't answer.

It was dawn, and Qiao Yizi had already left with the Black and White Impermanence. He carried Gu Ji into the bedroom.

Seeing him stiffen, Jun Jie stretched out his hand and said, "Brother, are you not able to do it? If you can't do it, I will hold my sister."

Junjie lowered his voice.

Jun Zhu rolled his eyes at him and said, "You can't do that."

A little brat.

The moment he carried the person to the bed, Gu Ji slowly opened his eyes.

Facing Jun Zhu's suddenly enlarged face, Gu Ji was a little confused. She reached out and pinched Jun Zhu's face, "Mom, you look like someone I just met."

“…Master Gu.”

Jun Zhu's voice woke Gu Ji up completely. She opened her eyes wide and retracted her hand. "Sorry, sorry, I thought I was dreaming. In the dream, my mother was holding me and telling me stories... My mother..."

Speaking of her mother, her eyes dimmed again, and the light in her pupils disappeared, which made Jun Zhu feel nervous. "There are things my mother left for you in the west courtyard. It was your mother who left them for you. Here is a letter your father left for you."

He turned around and pulled out a file bag from the small cabinet inside the bookcase. Inside was a piece of yellowed letter that looked very old.

Jun Zhu placed the letter on Gu Ji's lap and said, "Read it first. I'll take you to the West Courtyard after you've finished reading it."

"good."

The two brothers went out, leaving Gu Ji some private space.

Gu Ji stroked the letter, feeling its texture. The moment he opened the letter, the paper actually flew out of the envelope.

There are only a few lines on it.

The lines twisted and combined to form the shape of a little man.

The little man stood with his hands on his hips, and two dots gradually appeared on his round face: eyes, a vertical one, a nose, and a horizontal one, a mouth.

"Gu Ji, I am your father."

Gu Ji: “…”

This sounds a bit weird, like an insult?

"I really am your father. My name is Gu Xiyuan. Remember my name."

Two words gradually appeared beside the villain: Xiyuan.

"I know you really want to know who your parents are, where they are, why you have lost all your memories before the age of eight, and why you ended up in Xialu Village. You'll know everything, but don't worry, your parents are not dead. They are also staff members of the underworld, and they are very powerful. How powerful are they? Well, as long as you tell me your father's name in the future, all the demons and ghosts will treat you with respect. But I guess there should be no demons and ghosts in the underworld who don't know you."

The villain patted his chest, and the two dots and two lines made Gu Ji see his proud and arrogant expression.

"Then how can I find you?"

"Wow, my baby can ask such a complicated question. Daddy is so relieved!!"

Gu Ji: “?”

She was only imprisoned for more than ten years, but she is not a fool.

"Ahem." The little guy's father cleared his throat. "When the underworld was first established, it was directly governed by the Great Emperor Dongyue. Whenever emperors and queens died, or gods fell, they were all directly governed by the Great Emperor Dongyue. But the rest, such as humans, demons, and monsters, were too numerous to be managed. Coupled with the belief of humans, there were four Ghost Emperors. Your father, I, and your mother are the Ghost Emperors of the West and South.

Thousands of years ago, the Great Emperor of Dongyue disappeared without a trace, leaving only his golden body to suppress the underworld. The Ghost Emperor of Beiyue seized this opportunity to rebel. Your mother and I spent a lot of effort to suppress him. Once you find the four sacred artifacts, you'll know how to find us."

"The four great artifacts?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Ji's eyebrows suddenly began to feel hot. The pain of her muscles and bones being torn made her tightly grasp the corner of the quilt, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain.

The next second, the door was slammed open.

A sword half the length of a person, emitting a strong ghostly and sinister aura, stood in front of Gu Ji.

The knife swung towards Gu Ji.

Like... saying hello?
