Now that Mingzhuo has returned, her abilities are unmatched, and she is bold and resourceful, making her a perfect candidate to succeed him as the leader of the Xuanmen sect.
That's why he was so excited. Great! He can recommend Mingzhuo to the four elders!
Mingzhuo: "Wait a minute, maybe we shouldn't. I'm not suited for this!"
She flipped through the information sheet and important record sheet that Gu Xu had prepared for her, sighed, and said softly, "Master Wu, I'm already a senior in high school, and the college entrance examination is less than three months away."
Wu Jiao: "..."
I was careless; I completely forgot that she was a college entrance exam candidate!
None of my family members understand this: the hopes of our sect are pinned on a college entrance exam candidate!
The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) is a major life event, and its importance is self-evident in the general perception of Chinese people.
Wu Jiao couldn't very well shamelessly tell Ming Zhuo not to take the college entrance exam, or say anything like he was going to make a decision to let her come to the Taoist Academy to get a diploma.
After all, they have the ability to get into the top university in the country, which is far superior to the Taoist Academy, even though it only offers a bachelor's degree!
However, Wu Jiao thought again, "He can start working right after the college entrance exam! It's no big deal, it's less than three months. He'll definitely keep the position for Ming Zhuo no matter what!"
Mingzhuo was unaware of Wu Jiao's thoughts, and the two ended the call amicably.
Gu Xu thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to leak the news of your return to the Xuanmen so quickly?"
He assumed that Mingzhuo would ask Wu Jiao to keep it a secret.
Mingzhuo: "There's nothing wrong with it. I leaked it on purpose. Ah Xu, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
He paused for a moment and then said, "I just saw the news about Han Fenghua's betrayal. I was just saying that he seemed really strange when he got off the bus that day."
Gu Xu took out the bronze mirror. "This is the bronze mirror we found on him."
Mingzhuo took it and looked at it, somewhat surprised.
Gu Xu: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
The bronze mirror had become shiny and new when it was stained with his blood that day, but it remained unused and gradually became blurry again.
Gu Xu had a feeling that the restriction on the bronze mirror had not been completely lifted.
Mingzhuo snapped out of his daze. "Oh, no problem. This mirror is really good! That Han Fenghua tried to steal a chicken but lost his rice instead. Look at these animal patterns, the craftsmanship—this is an antique that's over a thousand years old! It's incredibly valuable! If the person behind Han Fenghua is this generous, not only handing over a head but also an antique, I'll make a fortune!"
Gu Xu: "..."
He said without changing his expression, "Is that so? I've learned something new; this is a novel perspective I hadn't considered."
Mingzhuo returned the bronze mirror to Gu Xu, saying, "I hope the person behind this will step up and come find me soon. I can't wait any longer."
Before coming to Pear Blossom Valley, she left all her wealth to Ruan's mother, and now she's penniless.
She desperately needs someone to give her money to fill her wallet.
Gu Xu shook his head, having gained a new understanding of Ming Zhuo's money-grubbing nature.
Thinking about how Ruan Minh Ying had spent a fortune on incense money at temples and Taoist monasteries of all sizes over the past six months, she felt a complicated feeling.
The Nguyen family accepted the explanation that Minh Chuk would return safely, but as parents, how could they not worry about their child?
Ruan Minh Anh spent a lot of money on incense offerings in order to pray for Ming Zhuo's well-being.
Nowadays, in major temples and Taoist monasteries, the largest nameplate on prayer towers or prayer walls is definitely that of Nguyen Minh Trat!
The gossip newspapers in Hong Kong even reported on this, subtly implying that Ruan Mingying was anxious because she couldn't conceive.
There are also rumors circulating that Ruan Minh Anh has a bad fate and heavy karma, making it difficult for her to conceive.
Many people speculate and imagine that women who marry into wealthy families should hurry up and have a child, especially a son, in order to maintain their wealth and status for life.
Xu Shanglou was furious when he saw these news reports, but Ruan's mother said that there was no need to clarify.
Thinking of this, Gu Xu frowned slightly.
He always felt that Ruan's mother was deliberately hiding something from everyone.
——
In the early hours of the morning, at the city's best five-star hotel.
Mingzhuo relaxed and threw himself onto the big bed, rolling around comfortably.
Although the corpse demon's stone coffin was also a good place to sleep, it was still a confined and restrictive space, and nothing beat a comfortable bed.
She got up and took a shower, and just as she came out, she heard the doorbell ring.
She sensed something, quickly stepped forward and opened the door, and was then pulled into the arms of the person outside.
"Zhuozhuo! My Zhuozhuo!" Ruan Mingying's tears rolled down her cheeks.
Ruan's mother followed suit and hugged him, and the family embraced each other excitedly.
Mingzhuo was being hugged so tightly she could hardly breathe. She looked at Xu Shanglou and Gu Xu standing behind the group, and further back, she saw Ah Hu leading a group of burly men, about a dozen of them.
The sight of these people standing in the hotel corridor was quite spectacular.
In the middle of the night, the hotel manager personally came over, worried that something might happen.
Xu Shanglou stepped forward and patted his wife reassuringly, "Alright, Zhuozhuo is back. This is good news."
Ruan Mingying wiped away her tears and, together with her mother, pulled Mingzhuo aside to examine him closely.
The child seems to have grown taller, inheriting the advantages of the Ruan family, even surpassing their parents. Her hair has also grown longer, and her features are becoming more and more bright and beautiful.
But everything about her is fine; her eyes are clear and bright, which is better than anything else.
Mingzhuo called out to someone, and then greeted Xu Shanglou, calling him his brother-in-law.
Ah Hu stepped forward excitedly and called out, restraining himself, "Third Miss!"
Then he raised his hand and made a gesture, and the dozen or so burly men behind him shouted in unison, "Welcome home, Miss Third!"
