“You’ve read the ‘General Outline of the Shock Gate’,” Jiu Yunchi said, remaining relatively calm. “However, the ‘General Outline of the Shock Gate’ does not contain any runes or talismans.”
It is evident that Jiu Yunchi was also familiar with the "General Outline of the Shock Gate".
However, the cat shook its head: "You're wrong. It's not that it doesn't exist, it's just that it's sealed, you can't read it."
Jiu Yunchi immediately asked, "You can read it?"
Cat shook her head again. "I can't read it either, but I can guess. Just using the first part of the General Outline of the Gate of Wonders, can't I guess how to draw the runes?"
Cat makes it sound so easy, but actually, it's all because she's seen and experienced a lot! Otherwise, if you've never seen what runes look like, you'd never be able to guess them in your entire life!
But this was enough to shake Jiu Yunchi's heart!
He remained silent for a while before finally speaking, "Have you ever used these runes in front of others?"
The cat shook its head again. "No, who cares about these little tricks?"
The human world has changed so strangely that these spiritual tricks are kept in the hands of a very few, extremely mysterious families, and are basically never exposed to the light of day!
Even if a cat knows how to use it, there's nowhere to use it!
Jiu Yunchi stood up, looked seriously into the cat's eyes, and said, "Don't be careless. There are far more things involved here than you can imagine. This is dangerous. You can't play with this."
Cat met Jiu Yunchi's gaze and said with a smile, "Jiu Yunchi, you're so talkative today!"
Jiu Yunchi frowned. "Are you going to listen to me or not?"
The cat said, "If you can convince me, of course I'll listen."
In other words, what Jiu Yunchi just said wasn't convincing enough!
Cat sat comfortably on the bed, letting Jiu Yunchi rack his brains, while she chuckled to herself.
She seemed to have found a new source of amusement. She realized that the root of Zhijiu Yunchi's problems lay here! He was a master strategist in the business world, but what he was desperately trying to protect was the "General Outline of the Shock Gate"!
Look at him, he's completely forgotten about work now!
After a long pause, Jiu Yunchi said, "The 'General Principles of the Shock Gate' is a secret of the Jiu family that is not passed on to outsiders. Each generation must make a solemn vow to protect it, and only one person is required to do so. In this generation, I am that person."
The cat's eyes flashed, and a ripple appeared in its clear, bright eyes under the sunlight. "What kind of solemn oath?"
Jiu Yunchi said, "I can't say."
"Tch, so what if I told you?" the cat scoffed.
Jiu Yunchi eventually compromised, probably to successfully persuade Maomao, "The book is the life, the destruction of the book means death."
The cat nodded thoughtfully. "Oh... so you really don't know how to hide things! That little secret compartment in the study isn't safe at all!"
Jiu Yunchi paused, his slender fingers brushing across his brow, feeling a trace of weariness... Why would Jiu Maomao be so focused on such a serious topic?
Besides, the secret compartment in the study was very safe; she was able to open it because she understood Qimen Dunjia!
"When we get back today, I'll hide you in a safer place!" Cat said reassuringly, leaning over to pat Jiu Yunchi's shoulder. "They say you should reciprocate, little brother. You've helped me so much, it's only right that I help you this once. Don't be too touched!"
Jiu Yunchi's back stiffened slightly. The term "younger brother" appeared in his life for the first time.
He seemed to sigh, "Where are you going to hide?"
The cat stroked its chin. "That place... unless I die, even if I die, no one will be able to find it."
She quickly smiled, her eyes crinkling, "But cats don't die!"
"Let's talk about this later," Jiu Yunchi said. Whether you believe him or not, he added, "The seal in the 'General Outline of the Shock Gate' is related to many things. Many people want to obtain it and then break it. When that happens, the Jiu family will not be at peace. I am guarding the 'General Outline of the Shock Gate,' but I also need to protect the Jiu family."
"As long as the runes don't appear in the world, the Jiu family is safe."
Upon hearing this, the cat picked up the little phoenix's pair of eyes and played with them again.
Hmph, Jiu Yunchi has kept a silent mouth, yet he carries all the secrets of the Jiu family on his own! No wonder he's as cold and aloof as a snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains.
"Then I'll teach you a trick today!" The cat raised its head and held up the two small black jades. "Ordinary runes can be erased with cinnabar, but the runes I draw can only be erased with blood, like this."
As she spoke, the cat went to bite her own finger, but stopped halfway through. "The cat's blood is too precious, use yours instead."
"..." Jiu Yunchi offered his hand.
The cat only used a silver needle to prick a very small wound, just a drop of blood was enough. The blood covered the black jade, and soon the runes on it disappeared.
When Jiu Yunchi put the black jade back on the little phoenix's head, the little phoenix could no longer fly.
"Why doesn't Jiu Yebai know about the 'General Outline of the Shock Gate'?" Maomao asked.
Jiu Yunchi said, "If he is able to handle it in the future, I will let him know."
Cat pointed out a fact mercilessly: "You're only two years older than Jiu Yunchi."
Jiu Yunchi remained silent.
The cat suddenly laughed and said, "Now I know, what are you going to do with me?"
Jiu Yunchi subconsciously pressed his temples. He glanced at the cat and had already vaguely realized that she was not easy to deal with... She was not Jiu Yebai, and could not be made obedient by beating her.
I simply kept silent.
Jiu Yunchi silently put away the little phoenix, returning it to its original place and stuffing it back into the box.
Now, he no longer needed to think of other ways to test the cat; there were no more secrets between them.
