Chapter 747: Was it sent by him?

Gu Xiaoxi didn't say anything, just looked at him.

This face doesn't look like old man Gu at all.

But those eyes were very similar to his father's.

"What do you want to ask?" Gu Zesheng touched the tombstone with his hand, his tone very gentle.

Gu Xiaoxi looked at him steadily, "What do you want to do?"

Gu Zesheng paused for a moment, then sighed again, "You're a smart kid. I've almost done everything I wanted to do. You'll know the rest sooner or later."

"Did you kidnap Bai Muyu and bring her to the cemetery?" Gu Xiaoxi asked thoughtfully.

Gu Zesheng nodded, "Yes. You should have asked her, right? Although her crime is not punishable by death, she cannot escape punishment while alive. Do you think that I am a bit cruel in letting people deal with her son and grandson, and even breaking their arms and legs?"

"That's not the case, I just don't know why you would do that."

The gentleness in Gu Zesheng's eyes faded a little, and he raised his eyes to glance at Gu Xiaoxi.

"Human nature is complex. Some people are not absolutely evil, but they are not absolutely good either. Some people may seem to be kind, but once their own interests are involved, they will become as scary as the devil. You are still a little kind, kid."

"Why don't you tell me what happened back then?" Gu Xiaoxi still hoped to hear it from him in person.

At first, she thought Gu Zesheng was a very evil person.

But now, seeing him occasionally touching the tombstone, that feeling disappeared.

"It was my fault back then. I failed to protect your grandma. I am the one who made the most mistakes. I will go to accompany her soon." Gu Zesheng spoke, and there was even some reluctance and yearning in his tone.

Gu Xiaoxi frowned, "Is it so difficult to tell me? Yan Huai is dead, but does he have a successor? Is the person who sent the horrible things to me in Xining Yan Huai's people? Where is the old lady of the Xie family?"

Gu Zesheng looked up at her and hesitated to speak.

But after thinking about it, he told the truth: "I was the one who sent the horrible things to you in Xining."

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, and looked at him in shock. "It was you? You sent it to me? You are afraid that I am living too easily. Do you think I should be scared to death?"

Gu Zesheng touched the tombstone and waved his hand, "No. Most of the things I sent you were hidden, buried, or even carefully arranged by Yan Huai. Each of those items carries a curse that is difficult to resolve. Although I secretly learned some Xuanhuang techniques later, I still don't have the ability to break it. I sent it to you because I tested it and you can break those curses without a trace."

Gu Xiaoxi was startled again when he heard this, "You sent it to me to break the curse?"

This was completely different from what she had imagined.

She always thought that there was an unknown person behind Yan Huai who was watching them and wanted to harm her.

But now Gu Zesheng said that those evil things that shocked the entire Xining Military Academy were sent by him?

"Yes. It is to break the curse. If those things are not found and cleared, the fate of you and your brother will not change, and your parents will be miserable in their old age. Don't underestimate those things. They are placed according to your fate. When they are gathered together, they can form a heavenly evil spirit that you will not be able to escape from for generations to come. You are a good child. You should understand how bitter the cycle of life is, right?"

Gu Xiaoxi was startled and asked uncertainly, "What do you mean? If those things are not cracked and cleared, will I suffer for generations?"

Gu Zesheng sighed, "Xiaoxi, you must have found the fake jade pendant I carved at Xie's house, right? Do you know why I carved a copy of that fake jade?"

"You know someone is looking for that pair of jade pendants, so you want to protect the real pair of jade pendants?" Gu Xiaoxi guessed.

Gu Zesheng shook his head. "I want to protect people, not jade pendants. The reason why Yan Huai targeted Yu Qiu is because the Xu family is the only descendant and the only successor of the family that keeps the two pieces of mother and child jade. They designed me to assassinate Yu Qiu just to make the two pieces of mother and child jade lose their owner and inheritance..."

"It was also because of this incident that I later sent your father and your aunt back to Huaicheng and completely severed my relationship with Huaicheng..."

Gu Xiaoxi fell silent after hearing this, with doubts abounding in his mind.

Is Gu Zesheng trying to clear himself?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Gu Zesheng say: "Although I stayed in the Xie family because of someone's calculation, I also took the initiative to cooperate. Because I don't want these people with ulterior motives to focus their attention on you too early. I swore to myself that I must avenge Yu Qiu. Those who killed her back then must pay the price..."

Gu Xiaoxi narrowed his eyes slightly. "If that's the case, why don't you just tell us directly? You're playing missing and disappearing, why? Who are you hiding from?"

She could predict Yan Huai's whereabouts, but she couldn't predict Gu Zesheng's whereabouts. This is very intriguing.

Gu Zesheng glanced at her expression and sighed helplessly.

"I can no longer be considered a living person, so it's normal that you can't feel my presence."

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, "Do you know what I'm thinking?"

Gu Zesheng touched the tombstone beside him again and smiled. "You are an easy-to-understand child. You have a pure mind and I can roughly tell what you are thinking. Yan Huai knows a lot of evil magic. If you are not afraid, you can come over and let me take your pulse."

Gu Xiaoxi bit her lower lip lightly and walked over to take his pulse.

But when she felt his pulse, she was stunned and didn't make a sound for a long time.

Because his hands were cold, the kind of cold that had no breath of life in it.

"What's going on?"

Gu Zesheng said with relief: "For so many years, I have only been hanging on to my last breath. I have my own reasons and determination not to die. Of course, Yan Hui also had a hand in this. He didn't want me to die early. If I died, he would not be able to find the Lingyu at all, nor would he be able to calculate it, so he used evil magic to prolong my life. It is equivalent to hanging on to a ray of hope. My life has been almost consumed in these years."

"But...why?" Gu Xiaoxi didn't understand.

Gu Zesheng smiled, "Because after Yu Qiu left, I attempted suicide more than once. Later, a great monk enlightened me and taught me some Xuanhuang techniques. Only then was I able to conceal my guilt well in front of Yan Huai and thus get along with him..."

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned again when he heard this. "High monk? What kind of high monk? What's his name?"
