"I'm really fine." Mingzhuo thought for a moment, put his hand on Gu Xu's hand, and then leaned in to press his forehead against Gu Xu's forehead.
"You can feel it for yourself, I'm not lying to you."
Gu Xu: "..."
"What are you doing?" Li Wenhe walked in and saw this scene, his expression immediately changed.
Gu Xu suddenly closed his eyes. He now felt that Ming Zhuo was fine; the problem might be with him.
Those resentments didn't pollute Mingzhuo, but they might have indirectly polluted him.
Otherwise, how could I have been overcome with lust at that moment and almost lost control of myself?
Gu Xu turned and walked out without saying a word.
Mingzhuo looked at Li Wenhe, puzzled: "Why did you suddenly shout so loudly? What if you scared Axu?"
She had just opened her sea of consciousness, and Gu Xu was not on guard. If she were startled at this moment, it could easily cause irreversible damage to her brain!
Li Wenhe: "What aren't you doing?"
"No, he was worried that I was being controlled by evil spirits, so I was just proving my innocence," Mingzhuo said frankly.
Li Wenhe sensed something was wrong. "Wait a minute, how are you going to prove your innocence..."
Mingzhuo: "Open his sea of consciousness and let him see. Oh, I'll use my magic to envelop his primordial spirit, nothing will happen."
Li Wenhe: "..."
The question is whether there will be any problems? The question is about the fusion of primordial spirits, which sounds a lot like dual cultivation.
But Mingzhuo's expression was too open and honest, so Li Wenhe couldn't find a point to question him.
Just then, He Wangyao walked in a few steps behind, looking confused as she walked, saying, "What's wrong with A-Xu? She looks a bit off. Is she sick? Her ears are so red."
Mingzhuo: "No, Ah Xu's temperature is normal."
My personal experience just now confirmed it!
He Wangyao: "Boss, how did you know...?"
Li Wenhe suddenly interrupted him, "I said you're not sick, so you're not sick. Why ask so many questions?"
He Wangyao: "..."
No, Wenwen, you're suddenly so fierce! What's wrong with you?!
Mingzhuo: "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. How's the Cheng family doing?"
He Wangyao then came to her senses and reported on the Cheng family's situation over the past few days.
Instead of staying at the Cheng family's house every day, he had a sudden inspiration and hired a private investigator to enter the Cheng family's house every day under a different guise to observe the situation.
Anyway, a lot of people have come to the Cheng family to pay their respects these past few days. There are many people coming and going every day, and no one has noticed a few unfamiliar faces sneaking in.
“Cheng Jingru has been keeping vigil for the past few days, staying up from day to night and then from night to day again. She only gets four or five hours of sleep when she can’t take it anymore,” He Wangyao said.
Locals have a custom of children keeping vigil over the deceased's remains, usually until after the seventh day after death. These seven days are extremely difficult, and it is generally only filial sons and grandsons who need to endure this, while daughters are exempt.
But Cheng Jinghao couldn't endure the hardship and had long since disappeared. Fortunately, Cheng Jingru was very strong-willed and persevered, preventing others from laughing at her.
He Wangyao herself felt a little admiration. Others could take shifts or catch up on sleep during the day, but she really endured it all on her own.
Mingzhuo's phone beeped. She opened it and glanced at it. "You look so haggard? You've lost so much weight."
He Wangyao peeked over and immediately felt terrible.
I don't know who it is, but they go to the Cheng family every day and livestream Cheng Jingru's vigil!
If he had known someone was doing a live stream, he would have just waited in the live stream room instead of going through the trouble of sending people to his door every day!
It makes him look like a fool, wasting money and effort!
Mingzhuo comforted him: "At least you've confirmed with your own eyes that the person kneeling there is Cheng Jingru himself, so it wasn't a waste of your efforts."
"How can it not be a waste of effort? Boss, don't try to comfort me!" He Wangyao flipped through those live stream records, almost to the point of despair.
Li Wenhe couldn't help but frown: "You said you confirmed that the person kneeling there was Cheng Jingru herself. What do you mean by that? Could it be someone else impersonating her?"
He Wangyao suddenly remembered Yuan Qingwan's impersonation of his biological daughter, and a terrible thought came to his mind.
"Could it be that Cheng Jingru is also an imposter of Liu Manling?"
Mingzhuo: "What are you thinking? The mother and daughter don't look alike, so how could they be impersonating each other? That's not the reason."
She paused, then smiled and said, "If Cheng Jingru hasn't left the Cheng family, then it proves that some things haven't left the Cheng family either. Let's go, there's going to be a good show tonight."
——
Gu Xu ended up coming along for the operation that night.
Mingzhuo was scrolling through his phone at the time, watching Cheng Jingru's vigil livestream.
This streamer claims to be streaming secretly, but strangely, he's been streaming for several days and no one has noticed or told him to leave, which is disrespectful to the game.
A lot of fans gathered in the live stream room, and some people even cursed at the beginning of the first two days.
People either criticize the streamer for profiting from tragedy and trying to gain popularity, or they accuse Cheng Jingru of staging a self-directed show and being desperate for fame.
But after seven days, no one questioned these things anymore; instead, everyone felt sorry for their junior sister and gave her a hug.
Cheng Jingru's tireless efforts over the past seven days are admirable, but her visibly haggard and thin appearance is also heartbreaking.
The negative impact of his poor performance during the recording at Hongguang Building was mitigated.
If anyone brings this up again, many people will criticize, saying that mothers and daughters are connected by heart, and that Cheng Jingru must have sensed that something was going to happen to her mother, which is why she has been so restless and not behaving well.
Her mother is dead; those who insult her have no heart.
Even though some people felt these were two different things, out of respect for the deceased, no one continued to argue.
Cheng Jingru was even praised for her insistence on keeping vigil for seven days, with people saying that many young people nowadays have no conscience and that there are not many filial daughters like Cheng Jingru anymore.
It generated a lot of discussion and even trended on social media.
Seeing that she was looking at the trending topics, Gu Xu handed her the tablet in his hand and said, "Someone is manipulating public opinion behind this."
The tablet clearly displays Cheng Jingru's changes in followers and popularity. Surprisingly, she has gained another two to three hundred thousand followers in the past few days.
These aren't bought fans; most of them are active fans, which shows they really like Cheng Jingru.
He Wangyao then realized that Gu Xu was the first to notice Cheng Jingru's vigil livestream. He was a little confused, "Cheng Jingru always takes a rather unconventional approach to becoming famous."
He had seen all sorts of ways to become famous, but he had never seen anyone become famous by live-streaming a vigil.
It wasn't even Cheng Jingru who was livestreaming; someone else was secretly doing it.
"Becoming famous is quite mysterious." As a live streamer, He Wangyao said she couldn't help but envy it.
Mingzhuo: "Some of it is metaphysics, but some of it isn't."
He Wangyao: "I understand, staged photos are not uncommon. But Cheng Jingru doesn't need to do this, does she? A Xuan Master doesn't need to be constantly exposed to the public; it's not good for cultivation."
After entering the Taoist sect, he consciously reduced his live streaming work.
The most important thing for spiritual practitioners is to cultivate their minds. How can one make progress in spiritual practice if one's mind is unstable?
Cheng Jingru has exceptional talent. Of course, he can't compare to a freak like Ming Zhuo, but he is definitely a top talent in the Xuanmen sect. Why ruin his future?
Mingzhuo: "Most people don't need to, but Cheng Jingru is different. Let's not talk about that for now. It's almost time, let's go."
