Huo Yuanqi said in a trembling voice, "The Xuanmen disciples are already searching in secret, and they will definitely be able to find the formation book."
"Bullshit!" Gu Xuanyi threw another teapot. "Why would they have to wait until now if they could have found it?! What kind of idiots are you, this generation of Xuanmen? Nineteen years! You should have found it even if you turned the world upside down!"
Looking at the furious Gu Xuanyi, Qi Jing silently covered his ears and shrank back, and out of the corner of his eye he looked at Huo Yuanqi kneeling on the ground with some sympathy.
He pursed his lips, and when he saw Gu Xuanyi about to smash something again, he immediately spoke out to stop him, "Gu Xuanyi."
Gu Xuanyi stopped and looked over. "What? Are you scared?"
Qi Jing nodded, "Stop smashing things."
Gu Xuanyi put it down and sat back, feeling very upset. The current leader of Xuanmen was in seclusion, and the formation book could not be found. What was going on?
Qi Jing pulled Gu Xuanyi's sleeve and glanced at Huo Yuanqi who was kneeling on the ground.
Gu Xuan understood and said, "You all go out, and the child stays."
After hearing Gu Xuanyi's words, Xu Jiu and the four people quickly stood up and retreated, leaving only the seventeen-year-old Huo Yuanqi still kneeling, feeling very nervous.
The door was closed, and Gu Xuanyi took the talisman from Qi Jing's hand and threw it out to stick on the door panel.
Exhaling heavily, Gu Xuanyi said to Qi Jing, "Go ahead and ask. I'm tired of it."
Seeing him like this, Qi Jing didn't force him and just said to Huo Yuanqi, "Lift your head up."
Huo Yuanqi looked up when he heard the voice. The seventeen-year-old boy still had childishness and looked quite handsome.
Qi Jing looked at you for a while and asked, "Are you adopted?"
Huo Yuanqi was stunned when he heard this, but he still answered truthfully, "I am not an adopted son, I am my father's child, but my mother has passed away."
"No, your face shows that your parents are not around. How could you be the sect leader's biological son?" Qi Jing frowned. He might be wrong about other things, but he would never be wrong about your face.
Gu Xuanyi also believed Qi Jing. He looked at Huo Yuanqi carefully. Not only was he an orphan, he had no relatives at all.
Gu Xuanyi couldn't help but look at Qi Jing, "They died at birth, I don't know what's normal."
"The whole family was murdered. We can investigate."
After Qi Jing finished speaking, he raised his hand and calculated. The more he calculated, the more frightened he became, but he didn't dare say it out loud.
Gu Xuanyi didn't ask any more questions and looked at Huo Yuanqi again, "Who are the members of Tianji and what is their purpose?"
"I don't know. Father never told me. I only know one member of Tianji, and that's Uncle Xie, the manager of the special department in Jing City."
"How did the book get lost?"
Huo Yuanqi replied, "I wasn't even born at that time. I just heard that the book was snatched away by someone in the second year after my father took over the Xuanmen. The person who took it was someone from the Xuanmen, but I don't know who it was. These are Xuanmen secrets."
Gu Xuan pressed his brows in a headache, "You have good talent, and you are the young master, why haven't you formally become his disciple?"
"My father allowed me to formally become his disciple at the age of eighteen." Huo Yuanqi added, "Grandmaster, my father has been searching for the whereabouts of the formation book for many years. Earlier this year, he was seriously injured while searching for the book. His Daoist heart was unstable, so he went into seclusion. Please understand, Grandmaster, there is no one in the Xuanmen sect who would betray their master or destroy their ancestors."
"It was destroyed long ago!" Gu Xuan snorted heavily. His original intention of establishing Xuanmen had long been forgotten by these people.
Qi Jing sighed and patted Gu Xuanyi's arm, "Don't bother with a kid who knows nothing."
"How can I not care? There's not a single useful person in such a huge Xuanmen. And those rubbish in Pingzhou, don't they know about the legend? Qi Jun remembers them, but they've completely forgotten them. They just dug them out and auctioned them off! They're all brainless!"
This is true. Qi Jing felt confused and had a headache when he thought about it.
Huo Yuanqi knew about this and said, "The person in charge in Pingzhou is not good at sealing formations, so he asked Master Xie to confirm that there were no problems before treating it as ordinary jade. The owner of the jade field wanted to use the dragon-shaped jade to raise the price of other jades and steal other business, so he held such a large auction."
Gu Xuan raised an eyebrow in interest and looked at Huo Yuanqi, "Since you all know about this, why is there no one coming to pay homage to the ancestor after he appeared?"
Huo Yuanqi suppressed his inner uneasiness and whispered, "Senior Brother Ying did send a message back about this, but several seniors in Xuanmen thought it was impossible and ordered Xuanmen not to spread it..."
Huo Yuanqi spoke softly, almost to the point of being lost in the dust.
Gu Xuan sneered, "These old guys have a good plan. They just talk nonsense when there is nothing to do, and when there is something wrong, they let a child like you take the blame. It turns out that they don't feel sorry for the child they don't have."
Gu Xuanyi's words were like a knife stabbing into Huo Yuanqi's heart, causing him to feel a sharp pain.
Huo Yuanqi insisted, "My father treats me very well. Please don't make random guesses, Master."
"I'm just guessing?!" Gu Xuanyi wanted to throw the teapot at him again, but he held back and just glared at Huo Yuanqi and cursed, "You don't know what's good for you, you deserve this!"
"Just say less. He's like this now and you're still scolding him." Qi Jing advised, then took out a blank talisman paper and handed it to Huo Yuanqi.
"Here, take this."
Huo Yuanqi didn't reach out his hand. It was just a blank piece of talisman paper. Why should he give it to him?
Seeing Huo Yuanqi didn't move, Gu Xuanyi scolded, "Just take it if I tell you to. If you dare to leave, I'll take care of your cheap dad too."
After being scolded by Gu Xuanyi, Huo Yuanqi immediately took the talisman paper, thanked him and put it close to his body, without daring to get up.
Gu Xuan felt annoyed when he saw it and was too lazy to stay any longer. He stood up and pulled Qi Jing out.
As he stepped out of the gate, Gu Xuanyi's fierce aura suddenly disappeared. Gu Zhou opened his eyes blankly, only to see people in the yard kneeling on both sides, looking particularly pious.
Gu Zhou looked at Qi Jing beside him in confusion, "What's going on?"
Qi Jing didn't want to talk, so he pushed Gu Zhou and quickly left the small courtyard.
Gu Zhou really didn't know what was going on. He tactfully didn't ask any more questions and rode his bike to the nearest restaurant.
After booking a private room, Gu Zhou ordered a few dishes that Qi Jing liked, closed the door, and asked only after seeing Qi Jing put up the talisman paper.
"What happened? What did Gu Xuanyi do?"
Qi Jing didn't say what Gu Xuanyi had done, but only explained to Gu Zhou, "Huo Yuanqi, the current young master of Xuanmen, is not his biological son."
Gu Zhou was speechless, "Uncle, is it really okay for you to be so gossipy?"
"This isn't gossip, I'm serious!" Qi Jing stared into Gu Zhou's eyes and spoke word for word, "The whole family was wiped out, and he was adopted by the leader of the Xuanmen Sect, and he was completely unaware of it. Don't you find it strange?"
"The whole clan is wiped out? Not even a single relative is left?"
Qi Jing nodded, "Judging from the face, this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."
Gu Zhou took a deep breath, "So cruel! Who did it? What does it have to do with Xuanmen?"
"I don't know. I can't see any cause and effect in those people, but Huo Yuanqi's face looks bad."
"How bad is it?"
"Not reaching adulthood."
At eighteen, Gu Zhou couldn't help but ask, "How old is he today?"
"Seventeen."
