Although the Gu family's status wouldn't warrant the Daoist sect coming to their door to search them.
However, hiding in the Gu family is not a long-term solution, especially since he needs to quickly recover from his injuries and improve his cultivation. Most importantly, he needs to improve his cultivation level, otherwise how can he fight against Tang Bao?
Now that Tang Bao knows of his existence, she will definitely tell the Daoist people. After that, the Daoist people will definitely send more people to keep an eye on the Gu family. It will be very difficult to escape the Daoist people's surveillance.
However, he couldn't have much contact with the Gu family father and son, especially regarding his food. He was just an ordinary person, not a god, and still needed to eat, drink, and relieve himself.
How can he survive without food and water?
Therefore, this was the main reason why Master Liu took the risk of leaving the Gu family amidst the chaos.
The idea of causing a fire for the Gu family father and son was also intended to create chaos, making it easier for him to escape.
Even if the Taoists come now, they might not be able to detect his presence, which is his best chance to escape.
They were probably still considering the Gu family's luck-changing formation, and had no idea that he was already in the Gu family's home.
If the Gu family is truly gone, he can simply abandon them after escaping. Collaborators can be easily obtained, so losing the Gu family is no big deal.
Who made the Gu family always disappoint him?
If the Gu family is truly ruined, then he can take action and absorb the fortune from Gu Ziming and Lin Xinyi; it wouldn't be a waste.
However, the priority now is to ensure my own safety; taking advantage of the chaos to leave the Gu family is the current task.
At this moment, the Gu family head was unaware that they had been abandoned by Liu Zixing.
"good!"
Upon hearing Master Liu's suggestion, the Gu family head agreed almost without hesitation.
This is the only way to solve the problem right now.
Having found a solution, the Gu family head didn't say another word to Liu Zixing and quickly went down to arrange for the fire to be set.
As for the cause of the fire, as long as the Gu family doesn't want to investigate, no one can. They can just give any result to other people at will.
She even called her son, Gu Ziming, to tell him that the luck-changing formation they had set up had been broken because of Tang Bao's appearance.
Gu Ziming was shocked upon hearing his father's words, followed by anger.
According to Liu Zixing, all that luck was absorbed by him.
But now, because of Tang Bao's sudden appearance, he has not been able to absorb any luck, how can he not be angry?
"Damn it, that little bastard dared to ruin our plans!"
The Gu family head interrupted Gu Ziming's rant, "This is not the time to talk about these things. Go and find the rest of the talismans and burn them. We can't let the Chu family have any chance to expose our plan!"
"I see!"
Gu Ziming knew the importance of the matter, so he stopped cursing at Tang Bao, immediately hung up the phone, and followed the Gu family head's orders to find the remaining luck-changing talismans.
The troops were divided into two groups. As soon as the Gu family head gave the order, the first thing that happened was a fire.
Sure enough, within minutes, a thick plume of smoke billowed out from the direction of the kitchen, and then, under deliberate arrangement, the smoke quickly entered the banquet hall.
"Smoke? How could there be smoke?"
"What happened? Is there a fire?"
"Something's happened! All that smoke means there's a fire!"
The guests couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing this scene.
Just then, a chef ran out from the direction of the smoke, shouting to everyone, "Fire! The kitchen is on fire! Everyone get out of here!"
Instantly, a series of piercing screams erupted throughout the banquet hall.
"What! Fire!"
"It's really on fire!"
"Damn it, what's going on with the Gu family's house? How could it be on fire!"
"There's a fire! Get out of here!"
"Let's go! Quickly call 199 for the fire department!"
The banquet hall instantly descended into chaos, with well-mannered men and elegant women alike abandoning their decorum and rushing out of the hall.
Because there were too many people, everyone was pushing and shoving each other. Many women wearing high heels fell to the ground, and even their expensive high heels and headdresses, which they were so proud of, were thrown on the ground.
This scene vividly illustrates everyone's character. Couples are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately. Almost no one left the banquet hall together; they all fled on their own.
Nowadays, no one has the demeanor of someone from the upper class; they all look incredibly pathetic and miserable.
Only Chu Yiting remained calm, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. The fire had occurred just minutes after the Gu family head ended his phone call.
As expected, the Gu family discovered that Tang Bao had discovered they knew the Gu family had been set up with a luck-changing array.
Furthermore, it seems that Tang Bao has already broken through most of its defenses, and the Gu family is deliberately trying to find a way to save themselves!
This fire must have been started by the Gu family!
The Gu family certainly won't cause any real trouble; at most, they'll just create some smoke to make them mistakenly believe it's a major fire.
Therefore, Chu Yiting remained calm throughout, and of course, he did not stop the Gu family from making any underhanded moves. Instead, he quickly turned around to find Tang Bao and the others.
Even though he knew that Chu Yixi and Chu Yifan were protecting Tang Bao, Chu Yiting still couldn't help but worry.
Chu Yiting called Chu Yixi to find out where they were.
Because the fire started in the kitchen and shot straight into the banquet hall, Tang Bao and the others, who were busy looking for a lucky charm outside, were unaware of it.
Chu Yiting came out and found Tang Bao and the others. Seeing that they were safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness you're all alright!"
Chu Yixi looked at Chu Yiting with a puzzled expression, "Big brother, why did you come out?"
"The Gu family already knew you had broken the luck-changing formation, so they deliberately set a fire to drive everyone out!"
The two brothers, Chu Yixi and Chu Yifan, were shocked upon hearing this, followed by disdain and contempt.
Although they were angry, they quickly understood what the Gu family had done.
"Tsk! The Gu family really reacted quickly!"
"It seems that it will be difficult for us to make the Gu family's actions public now!"
Chu Yiting nodded, saying with some regret, "The Gu family will definitely not keep the guests at the Gu family home, and we cannot continue under these chaotic circumstances!"
Although he didn't know what would happen next, Chu Yiting had seen the chaotic scene just now.
Those people had already rushed out of the banquet hall in a panic. Many of them probably just wanted to leave as soon as possible. Who would care about anything else?
Furthermore, the Gu family would definitely not allow them to stay here any longer; they would surely ask the guests to leave first.
Even though the engagement party was a failure, the loss was relatively small considering that the luck-changing array set up by the Gu family had been exposed.
