Chapter 36 Doubt

Besides my grandfather, younger brother, mother, aunt, and younger sister, it seems like I have no one else who is closest to me.

The family is living in harmony, and these people have no suspicion of harming them!

The car slowly drove into the front door, and the housekeeper opened the door, where the two cars were parked in the courtyard.

"We've arrived, Miss Gu."

Gu Yunxi nodded. As soon as she got out of the car, her third brother rushed over.

"Thankfully, we finally caught up after chasing for so long!" Gu Yunlang breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the layout of the entire He family estate, the feng shui is excellent, with purple aura surrounding the entire villa.

Let alone living here, even cultivators would find it extremely beneficial to stay here for an extended period of time for their cultivation.

If we set up another formation, even though the spiritual energy in the air is thin, it will continuously gather here, making it a truly good place.

"Good feng shui!"

Gu Yunxi sighed.

"Please, both of you!"

Chen Wang pointed to himself, "Dude, am I not human?"

He Sihan ignored him and led the two into the house.

"grandfather!"

He Sihan was surprised to find his grandfather at home. Usually, at this time, his grandfather would be at the park practicing Tai Chi or playing chess with his old friends.

Those are the people who don't go home until it gets dark.

Hello, Grandpa!

After exchanging greetings, the three sat down on one side.

"They're all Si Han's friends, and Xiao Wang is here too. You young people are gathering here, so I won't disturb you any longer. I'll go outside for a walk!"

Perhaps because the old man was afraid of the cold, he was wearing a thin black Zhongshan suit.

For someone his age, he didn't use a cane, and even when he left, his straight back showed no signs of hunchback.

Gu Yunxi couldn't help but glance at him again.

[Wow! The old man is surrounded by purple aura! Is the whole family this powerful?]

He Sihan didn't react at all, and he was also puzzled. This woman said that he was surrounded by black energy as soon as she saw him.

However, his grandfather was surrounded by purple aura, which ordinary people like them could not see. This immediately put their minds at ease.

He wasn't afraid of death, but he didn't want to die either.

"Miss Gu, you are welcome to look around and see if there is anything strange about it."

Gu Yunxi got up and walked around the He family's house, but she couldn't find anything with the same aura as He Sihan.

"That's strange, everything is normal. Could it be that my guess was wrong? The person who harmed you isn't in the He family?"

"But it's really strange that your luck was stolen by someone else."

Just then, the younger brother, He Sichen, returned, greeted the others, and went to the study to get some documents.

[Wait, this younger brother seems perfectly normal. I thought he was stealing his luck. How strange, why do they both seem destined for short lives!]

Hearing her thoughts, He Sihan's heart skipped a beat. Where exactly did things go wrong?

My father passed away, and my eldest uncle also passed away. Now, only my aunt and my younger sister Xiaona remain in my eldest uncle's family.

Now, apart from his grandfather, there are only himself and his younger brother left in the whole family. Could it be that all the men in the He family are short-lived?

The He family has always done good deeds, and the grandfather even ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist prayers every day. Their family should not have ended up like this.

"Perhaps the person who harmed you is not in the He family. Let me investigate further."

Gu Yunxi closed her eyes and released her divine sense. In an instant, the entire He family appeared in her sea of ​​consciousness.

Finally, she realized something was wrong: behind the rockery in the backyard was another uniquely decorated courtyard.

The room was filled with incense; it was probably where the old man usually chanted scriptures.

She opened her eyes.

"Can I go check the backyard?"

"I'll go with you!"

The backyard is a forbidden area for the He family. There are places you can go, but there are places that even you can't go to!

He Sihan stood up. "Please sit here and rest. We'll be right back."

Shen Wang shrugged. He didn't care. Besides, he was neighbors with the Gu family, and he and Gu Yunlang could get along well.

I really envy those members of the Gu family; they are all capable individuals. As for me and him, we are just good-for-nothings in our own families.

The two sat on the sofa, staring at each other.

After passing the villa, the backyard was also unusually large. Perhaps the old man preferred peace and quiet, as there were very few servants in the backyard. They probably all went out after finishing their work.

There's a rockery with flowing water, and surprisingly, there's a small lake where lotus flowers are in full bloom.

It rained last night, and the dew remaining on the lotus leaves is crystal clear; it's definitely the work of a wealthy person.

Although this villa is not as grand as Liu Family Manor, it has its own unique charm.

What is that?

A quaint, old-fashioned courtyard appeared before the two of them.

“That’s where Grandpa recited scriptures every day, and it’s also the He family’s ancestral hall.”

"Oh, I see!"

Since it's someone else's ancestral hall, I felt embarrassed to go in.

“Although that’s our family’s ancestral hall, only my grandfather can go in. The gate is usually locked, and only he has the key. Even during ancestral rites, we younger generations can only kneel in the courtyard.”

[What a bizarre way of worship! Even stranger than what we had back then. At least, both men and women could enter and worship.]

However, the strange thing about this house lies in this ancestral hall, and it seems there's no way to deal with it for the time being!

ah!

Is what she truly feels?

Could there really be something wrong with this ancestral hall? For so many years, it has been managed by my grandfather alone, and even the servants can't get close to it.

Is there something wrong with Grandpa?

He is exceptionally good to his family, so good that he is beyond reproach and everyone envies him.

For the first time, He Sihan began to doubt his grandfather. Could it be that all of this was an act?

My father died young, my uncle died young, and I and my brother died young too. He was the one who caused all of this.

A few years ago, Master Fuyun examined him and his brother and found them to be perfectly normal.

When exactly did my body start to feel unwell?

Thinking about it carefully, if it's true, it's all terrifying.

"Let's go. Even if I can't solve your problem right now, I'll find a way to prolong your life. You can't die right now, and you can't die!"

The two returned to the house, but He Sihan's face turned unusually ugly.

Gu Yunlang sat up straight. Could it be that the two of them had a falling out?

Judging from my sister's carefree attitude, she doesn't seem to have been hurt at all.

He felt much more relaxed.

"Han, what's wrong? You look so pale."

Hearing Chen Wang's voice, Gu Yunxi glanced at him; he seemed to be in a bad mood.

His brows were furrowed; could he really be feeling unwell?

"Should we call a doctor?"

"No need. Since nothing has been found, you should go back first. I'll have the driver take you there."

The host was not feeling well, and the group felt embarrassed to stay any longer. The three of them left the He family's house without asking the driver to take them home.

Gu Yunlang became their driver, but he didn't skimp on the pay. Gu Yunxi received a million yuan as soon as they got into the car.

She felt a little guilty taking the money today.

No, if this continues, my health will suffer sooner or later. I need to find a chance to sneak into the He family's ancestral hall and see what's so strange about it.

Gu Yunlang was so startled that he slammed on the brakes.

"Third Brother, what's wrong?"
