Chapter 40: Even if you eat from a large bowl, you still have to pour it out



Hearing that they could avoid the four people, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Zhongqing immediately took out the gift box next to him and pushed it over. "I don't know what the master likes, please accept this as a small token of your appreciation. Thank you for your help."

Gu Zhou took the gift and opened it in front of Qi Jing. Inside was a pair of exquisitely carved small jade bottles.

This was something Gu Zhongqing had obtained at an auction before. It was an antique. He knew that people in the Xuanmen sect liked these antiques, and he hoped that Qi Jing would like it.

Qi Jing picked up a small jade bottle and looked at it. It was indeed a good thing. Although it was not as good as the jade pendant that Lin Shuqing had brought before, it was also rare.

Qi Jing put it back and said, "You are a member of the Gu family. This time you are affected by the evil spirit, so I will not accept you."

"No, we will be embarrassed if you do this." Gu Zhou persuaded. He was not a stingy person and knew what reciprocity meant, not to mention that it was a big favor for their Gu family.

Gu Zhongquan and his wife agreed with him and asked him to accept it so that they would feel more at ease.

Qi Jing was a little overwhelmed by the four people's persuasion. At this time, Qi Jun said, "If you really want to thank me, just convert these things into money and donate them. It will be a good deed for you, and for Xiao Jing as well."

Since Qi Jun said so, the Gu family didn't want to force it anymore. Gu Zhou closed the box angrily and handed it back to Gu Zhongqing.

Qi Jing asked Gu Zhongquan and his wife, "Did you find the jade tripod?"

The couple shook their heads. Gu Zhongquan picked up a box, placed it on the coffee table and opened it. Inside was a jade tripod.

The jade tripod is not large in size, but it is exquisitely crafted and very beautiful.

Qi Jing stretched out his hand and brushed the lines on the jade tripod. "This is just a replica. It's only a few years old. It must have been replaced when you moved."

"This jade tripod was passed down from our ancestors. It came with our car when we moved and has never left. There was no one else in the car except the driver. We checked the driver but found no clues." Gu Zhongquan's face was heavy. The whole Gu family was worried about the loss of the heirloom that protected the house. They were really anxious.

Qi Jing raised his wrist and took off the copper coins, only taking three of them and placing them in his palms and covering them with both hands.

He looked at Gu Zhou and said, "Just imagine what Yu Ding looks like, and blow on it when you're ready."

Gu Zhou nodded and began to think in his mind. He had seen the jade tripod for more than ten years and remembered it very clearly.

Qi Jing also began to shake his hands, making the copper coins rotate inside, and stopped when Gu Zhou opened his eyes.

A breath blew over, and Qi Jing felt the copper coins inside move. He immediately let go, and the three copper coins fell on the coffee table.

Qi Jing leaned over and picked up three copper coins, then raised his hand to calculate, "With Guzhou as the center, a hundred miles north, there is a large cemetery."

Qi Jing put down his hand after saying this, "Yu Ding's aura is very weak. We have to go there to find the exact location."

Gu Zhou immediately took out the map on his phone to look for it, and sure enough, he saw the sign for the cemetery about 50 kilometers to the north.

Gu Zhou showed Qi Jing his phone and said, "It's here. Let's go look for it after dinner."

Qi Jing shook his head. "Not these days. The Gu family's aura is not strong enough. We have to avoid unlucky times, otherwise we won't be able to get it and various accidents will happen."

Qi Jing's words made the Gu family alert. Gu Zhongqing asked, "How long do we have to wait?"

"There's no rush. Little Lucky Star hasn't arrived yet, so bringing back the Jade Tripod won't be of much use." Qi Jing looked at Gu Zhongquan and his wife. "Now that the Jade Tripod has been found, you don't have to worry too much about it. Just focus on bringing Little Lucky Star back. There's only one month left, so hurry up, otherwise it will be difficult."

Lin Shuqing awkwardly hooked her hair behind her ears. Gu Zhongquan was equally embarrassed, but he didn't show it.

He said, "We will do it as soon as possible, thank you, Master."

Qi Jing nodded and said, "By the way, don't tell anyone about finding the Jade Tripod. Keep investigating and don't alert anyone."

Everyone present understood the implication of Qi Jing's words. They were afraid that there was a traitor in their Gu family, so the jade tripod was replaced without anyone noticing.

After saying everything that needed to be said, Qi Jing stood up, patted his butt, and went to eat.

The soup bowl at home has become Qi Jing's exclusive bowl. Qi Jing fills the bowl up and presses it down. Just as he is about to pick up some dishes, chopsticks are put into his bowl.

Qi Jing glanced at Gu Zhou who was sitting next to him, "What are you doing?"

"I'm picking up some food for you. Can't you tell?" Gu Zhou put down the braised pork on his chopsticks and turned to pick up some green vegetables with his chopsticks. "Eat more, mix meat and vegetables."

Qi Jing felt a little puzzled, "Why are you picking up food for me?"

"Aren't you my elder? This is my filial piety." Gu Zhou smiled, looking very flattering.

Qi Jing didn't think so, "Then why don't you give some to your parents, Third Uncle, and Second Master?"

"I just want to pick up some food for you, is that not possible? Or maybe you don't like what I picked up?"

Qi Jing pulled the bowl closer to his arms, protecting his large bowl, "I don't like it, you can't."

Gu Zhou was somewhat shocked and asked him, "Why can't I do it?"

"No." Qi Jing didn't explain much. He reached out and took a dish and poured it into the bowl. It would take forever to finish it like this. Wouldn't it be faster?

Gu Zhou looked at his actions and suddenly understood why he was disliked. It turned out that she disliked him because he didn't pick up enough.

Gu Zhou learned his lesson and took the plate of food and passed it to Gu Zhou, relying entirely on Qi Jing's eyes. He would keep the ones he liked and put the ones he didn't like back.

After a few interactions, I finally figured out Qi Jing's hobbies. This kid likes to eat meat but doesn't like to eat vegetable leaves.

But Gu Zhou's behavior was too attentive. Even the three members of the Gu family felt something was wrong and they all looked at the two men's actions.

Qi Jing was also speechless. He stared at Gu Zhou and said, "You're being so attentive for no reason. What do you want to do?"

"Is there really something else?" Gu Zhou didn't say it directly. He said, "Let's eat first, and then we'll talk about it after we're done."

Qi Jing didn't ask any more questions. He lowered his head and quickly ate a big bowl of food, feeling full.

Gu Zhou also finished eating, and pulled Qi Jing upstairs and went straight to his room.

After serving the milk tea he had prepared long ago, and seeing Qi Jing slurping it up, Gu Zhou asked him, "What did we do yesterday? Didn't you drag me to the bathroom? How come it's already this morning?"

In fact, Gu Zhou wanted to ask him if he kissed her, after all, he seemed to be pouting at that time.

Qi Jing blinked at him, thinking that Gu Zhou didn't seem very smart. He replied, "I just went out for a walk, what's wrong?"

"Are you sure you just went for a stroll?"

"What else?"

Gu Zhou held up his phone, which contained a text message about a bank card deduction. "Over 50,000 yuan. That's more than one trip to the car dealership, milk tea shop, and restaurant, right?"

Qi Jing frowned, "You have so many coins in your card, and you actually care about 50,000 yuan. I only have a few thousand yuan, you are too stingy."

“It’s not a matter of being stingy!”

"What's the problem?"

"The question is, even if he was possessed by a ghost, how would he know my payment password?"
