Chapter 38 Test of Courage



Gu Xu nodded, his gaze sweeping over the group of people behind him, including monks and Taoists.

He Zhou quickly explained, "This is a highly skilled person I invited."

Gu Xu didn't say anything, but stepped back a few paces and moved aside.

Those few people glanced at him a few more times, and one of them asked, "Is this the young master He's destined benefactor?"

He Zhou nodded. "When A Yao was little, her soul was unstable and she was prone to seeing unclean things. She only felt safe when she was with A Xu."

If he hadn't consulted a master to tell his son's fortune last time, he wouldn't have known that his son actually had a pure Yin constitution in his Four Pillars of Destiny!

The master also reminded him that his son was destined to have a benefactor, which would ensure his continued peace and safety.

He Zhou then remembered the strange behavior his son had exhibited when he was a child. Indeed, he had been in the Gu family for a month and then everything was fine. This made perfect sense!

Last year, Gu Xu returned to China, and his son wanted to work as a freelancer after graduating from university. So, he decided to have his son cling to Gu Xu and visit Luowuju whenever he had free time!

Even disregarding other factors, befriending Gu Xu will only bring benefits and no harm!

Master Tingyun looked at Gu Xu with a puzzled expression. He always felt that there was a contradiction in the man's temperament.

It seemed cold and aloof, yet also possessed a sacred aura that seemed unapproachable to gods and demons.

He did some quick calculations with his fingers, then asked, "Sir, would you mind providing your birth date and time (Bazi)?"

"It's inconvenient." Gu Xu paused after saying that, "Sorry, I don't believe in these things."

After saying that, he pushed open the door and went out.

He Zhou said apologetically, "A Xu grew up abroad. He is an atheist and a visiting professor at a world-renowned university."

Speaking of Hezhou, I can't help but feel proud. Axu and Ayao are about the same age, yet they have already achieved such great success.

He can indulge in feudal superstitions on his own; it's better not to involve highly skilled physical chemistry researchers.

In short, it's not suitable!

Master Tingyun didn't insist and instead followed the others to check on He Wangyao's condition.

A few minutes later, the group confirmed that the soul had been lost.

No wonder no matter what tests they did, they couldn't find anything wrong; this body has become an empty shell!

Master Tingyun's expression turned serious: "If a soul has been separated from the body for more than seven days, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal cannot save it. We must find the soul back as soon as possible!"

The monk put his hands together in prayer. "Amitabha, where has young benefactor He been recently?"

Hezhou also realized the seriousness of the problem, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "A few days ago, Ayao said that a college classmate of his opened a bed and breakfast and invited them to go and have fun..."

The son just didn't say which classmate it was.

There was a knock on the door, and Gu Xu pushed the door open and entered.

He handed the documents to Hezhou, saying, "Ayao's three roommates from university, two of whom work in this city, and the other went back to his hometown and cannot be contacted for the time being."

"Based on the pseudonym he mentioned during his live stream, I guess it's not his roommate from this dormitory, but rather this person named Sun Wanqiu from the next dormitory."

As soon as he said that, Hezhou immediately remembered it too.

"Yes, yes, Yao said that he gets along very well with Lao Wan from the next dormitory!"

Once the person was found, things became much easier. Hezhou immediately made a phone call to have someone check where the person was.

The others also breathed a sigh of relief and came over to look at the information.

It was a group photo, and the young man circled in the photo was laughing. He looked like an ordinary college student.

Gu Xu looked up at the group of people, and seeing that no one had anything to say, he could only suppress his doubts.

For some reason, he always felt that, judging from Sun Wanqiu's micro-expressions, although he was laughing, there was no real smile in his eyes, giving him a strange sense of disconnect.

From a psychological perspective, this person is not one to easily reveal their inner thoughts.

This is completely inconsistent with the cheerful, warm, and hospitable image that He Wangyao mentioned.

Before long, they found out about it in Hezhou.

"Sun Wanqiu promoted it in the alumni group, it's located in Xiaoqingshan Scenic Area, Dongxu City!"

Xiaoqingshan Scenic Area is only about 200 kilometers away from Yunwu City. With the opening of the high-speed rail, it can be reached in just over an hour.

Master Tingyun immediately said, "This matter should be handled sooner rather than later. Why don't we go through the trouble tonight and resolve it as soon as possible?"

Hezhou naturally supports this; the longer the son remains in a coma, the deeper the crisis becomes, so it's best to resolve it as soon as possible.

He quickly sent someone to arrange the relevant matters.

Master Tingyun set up a magic array in front of He Wangyao's sickbed to prevent evil spirits from spying on her.

"However, while the magic array can isolate evil spirits, it will also sever the connection between the array and the living soul." He had just performed a divination, and the result was shrouded in mystery, making it impossible to discern whether it was auspicious or inauspicious.

This was very strange, and Master Tingyun felt uneasy.

"President He, you stay here and guard the magic array. Under no circumstances should anyone be allowed to destroy it!"

He Zhou nodded nervously. He understood; he would never let anyone down at such a crucial moment!

He arranged for his own driver to take Master Tingyun and the others to the address, and also arranged for two bodyguards to accompany them.

Not long after the person left, the secretary knocked on the door: "Mr. He, Miss Ruan from Qinghui Residence has come to visit the young master."

Without a second thought, Hezhou replied, "If you don't want to see me, just say it's inconvenient."

He was too nervous, afraid that something unexpected might happen. Isn't that how it always goes in TV dramas? The more inconspicuous the place, the more likely something bad will happen!

After a pause, he remembered that it was Qinghui Residence, and he couldn't afford to offend it!

"You should refuse more tactfully..."

"Never mind, I'll go downstairs," Gu Xu said, getting up.

——

Mingzhuo didn't expect to be turned away as soon as he arrived.
