Qi Jing was stunned, staring at Gu Xuanyi eagerly, "So you mean, I like you too? But I just forgot?"
"Let's just say so."
"Then why do I dislike you so much, resist you, and don't want to be friends with you?"
Qi Jing really didn’t understand. That contradiction made him feel very uncomfortable.
Gu Xuanyi sighed, patted his head and said, "It's just like you sleeping in a coffin and being thrown down from the mountain. I've tried to count it out so many times but it didn't end well for me. You're scared, and your heart is telling you that you can't accept me."
"Why?" Qi Jing looked at Gu Xuanyi bitterly, "I don't want this to happen. I've already harmed so many generations of the Qi family. I don't want Qi Mo to end up like Second Master, unable to be with someone he loves and regretting it his whole life."
Seeing Qi Jing struggling in pain, Gu Xuanyi felt bad too. He pulled Qi Jing to sit on his lap and said, "It will get better soon."
Qi Jing was still confused. He lowered his head into Gu Xuan's shoulder and asked sullenly, "If that happens, will you die? Will you be stabbed like a hedgehog, beheaded, or burned to death?"
"Don't! I'm only nineteen. I want to live a few more years and not die." Gu Xuanyi rubbed his head. "I'm not letting you go now because I'm afraid you'll lose your memory again. I'm too lazy to stick with you again. If something bad happens, you'll probably shrink into a turtle. I'll have to spend so much effort to coax you."
Qi Jing snorted, "He doesn't even want to be coaxed."
"Is it a matter of coaxing? Don't you know what your temper is?"
Qi Jing stopped talking. He seemed a little difficult to appease, at least towards Gu Xuanyi.
Qi Jing started to get annoyed again, and pushed Gu Xuan away. "Then can you please stop asking me questions all the time? I can't answer, and you get angry, but in return you want me to comfort you."
Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows, "What? If you don't even coax your wife, what do you want to coax?"
"So you said you wanted to sleep with me, and the one who is slept with is the wife, so how come you are my wife?" Qi Jing frowned, he couldn't figure out this problem.
Gu Xuan held up his chin and smiled at him, "Look at the situation. If I marry you back to the Gu family, won't those brats from the Qi family cut me down? It's better for me to marry in with a dowry."
"Is that so?"
"That's it, so now I'm your wife, you have to coax me!"
Qi Jing was successfully fooled. He bent down and kissed Gu Xuan on the lips, "Is this okay?"
Gu Xuan smiled even more happily. He raised his hand and pressed the back of Qi Jing's head to deepen the kiss, but he let go after not long.
Gu Xuanyi said, "Call me when you get to Pingzhou."
Qi Jing grabbed his arm and said, "You haven't been able to scream these past few days. Is something wrong?"
"It's okay. The Jade Tripod was contaminated by evil spirits. I was also affected a little. It's not a big deal."
Qi Jing remembered that Gu Xuanyi had lived in the Jade Tripod for hundreds of years. He was probably asking him to carve the Jade Tripod to preserve his memory in order to find a suitable reincarnation body. Now Gu Xuanyi's soul was basically bound to the Jade Tripod, so it was normal for Gu Xuanyi to be affected if something happened to the Jade Tripod.
Qi Jing said, "I'll go get some jade from the Second Master for you. I'm going to Gu's house to exorcise the evil spirits tomorrow, and I forgot about it when I came back."
Gu Xuanyi nodded. He was indeed exhausted that night. He barely woke up today in order to determine the location as soon as possible so that he could take Qi Jing there later.
Soon Gu Xuanyi fell into a deep sleep, and when he opened his eyes again, it was Gu Zhou.
Gu Zhou was no longer surprised after so many times. He asked, "Gu Xuanyi came out to see you again?"
"Well, let's talk about something. Come with me to the Gu family's old house tomorrow."
Gu Zhou agreed and went back with Qi Jing the next day.
Old Master Gu received the news early and went to the villa to greet him in person. He also prepared Qi Jing's favorite milk tea and food at home, and sincerely treated Qi Jing as a guest of honor.
Qi Jing accepted all of it and followed him into the small ancestral hall behind the Gu family villa with milk tea in his arms.
The ancestral hall enshrines the ancestors of the Gu family. These people are younger than him, so Qi Jing cannot burn incense. He can only watch Grandpa Gu and Gu Zhou finish the worship.
Standing in front of the altar, Qi Jing touched the small jade tripod. He fainted that night. The Gu family stayed at the Qi family's house for a day. The next day, they took the jade tripod back to the Gu family's old house and enshrined it in the ancestral hall. At this time, the evil spirit had almost dissipated.
Qi Jing put down the milk tea, took out a piece of talisman paper from his backpack and stuck it on, then he made a hand gesture and took Gu Zhou's hand and used the copper coin to absorb the evil spirit into it.
Seeing that the dull jade tripod had regained its luster, Qi Jing withdrew his hand, took out another piece of talisman paper and pasted it on, and placed a few small jade stones next to the jade tripod.
Qi Jing said, "Don't touch these jade stones. I have set up a simple formation. You won't have to worry about the jade tripod being stolen in the future."
"Thank you, Master." Old Master Gu said gratefully, and once again mentioned Pingzhou jade, promising that the Gu family would pay for whatever Qi Jing liked.
Qi Jing nodded in agreement, then continued to pick up Nai Cha and Gu Zhou and took them around the manor.
Gu Zhou pushed open the door and said, "This is my room. I moved here because my parents had a new project there, so it's more convenient."
"Then why move the Jade Tripod there as well?" Qi Jing asked. The Jade Tripod should have been placed in the old house.
Gu Zhou recalled and said, "It seems that my father asked for it. Isn't the jade tripod used to protect the house and bring wealth and fortune? I took it with me because the project was more important. Later, my luck became worse and worse, so I didn't dare to take the jade tripod back. Who knew that it was replaced along the way."
"You'd better learn some formations, otherwise you'll be replaced again." Qi Jing gave serious advice. There must be someone who understands it.
Gu Zhou nodded in agreement, "How about going back in the evening? I'll take you around the neighborhood."
"Sure, but you need to change the Feng Shui of your house."
When Feng Shui was mentioned, Gu Zhou sat up alertly, "Could it be that the old house has also been set up with some kind of evil formation?"
"No, there are just a few things that are not so good, which will slightly affect your family's fortune."
"Change it, change it, let's change it now. How do you say we should change it?"
The two returned to the living room again. Qi Jing held Milk Tea and gave orders while Gu Zhou rolled up his sleeves and moved.
After finishing the interior of the villa, the two of them came to the yard. Qi Jing pointed to the rose garden and said, "Don't plant this. Plant annual seeds instead. Also, move that crabapple tree over there and replace it with a pomegranate tree."
Gu Zhou went to the gardener to give instructions without any doubt. The gardener hesitated, "But the crabapple tree was planted by the eldest lady when the young master was born."
Of course Gu Zhou knew this, but now that Qi Jing said it had to be replaced, it had to be replaced. Gu Zhou called Lin Shuqing and after getting a confirmation, he immediately asked the gardener to arrange it. No matter what, the tree had to be dug up and replaced with a pomegranate tree.
After giving the order, Gu Zhou ran back and stood under the crabapple tree with Qi Jing. He couldn't help but feel curious, "Do different trees have different feng shui?"
"Pomegranate trees, like peach trees, can ward off evil spirits."
"Then why not a peach tree?"
"I don't like peaches, but Gu Xuanyi likes pomegranate flowers."
