Qi Banxian asked his questions directly.
Although he grew up in the Qi family and never had to deal with or scheme against those people, he disdained to do so with others.
Perhaps it was because the place where he grew up was full of filth that he longed even more for pure peace and warmth.
Rather than going to great lengths to achieve his goals, he wanted to ask openly and honestly.
Qin Yuanjiu curled his lips: "I'll grant your wish!"
As he spoke, he pulled a thick stack of books from his bag and threw it over.
Qi Banxian hurriedly took it, and the thick dust on it made him cough.
But when he saw the book cover, he was so excited that he coughed loudly and uncontrollably, which startled the birds outside the cave and made them fly away in all directions.
"This," his face flushed red, a mixture of coughing and surging excitement, "this belongs to the Qi family..."
Qin Yuanjiu nodded, stood up, and brushed the dust off his clothes: "Yes, young man, study hard. When you become a grandmaster, will it be difficult for you to return to the capital and reclaim your position?"
Qi Banxian hugged the stack of books tightly, remaining silent for a long time. More than ten years of fear and forbearance had made him more adept at dealing with people and more cautious.
At that moment, he felt the coldness and hardness in his arms, but also a sense of security and hope he had never felt before!
“Okay, I promise you,” he nodded emphatically, responding once again.
But when he looked up, there was no one there.
This couple is surprisingly similar in some ways!
Early the next morning, Qi Banxian appeared in front of the Ji family's door, holding a compass in his hand, squinting and calculating with his other hand while muttering incantations.
Grandpa Ji, who was yawning, went out to fetch water, which startled him.
He instinctively peeked out and looked around. Seeing that no one had opened their door in the alley, he quickly pulled the man inside and asked in a low voice, "Comrade Qi, what brings you to my house so early in the morning?"
The Ji family are all cultured people who have received a proper modern education in school, and they also benefit from the traditional knowledge passed down from their ancestors.
It can be said that scientific theoretical knowledge occupies half of their thinking, but there are also old and decadent remnants.
Important occasions, such as the raising of the roof beam or weddings, require choosing an auspicious day, and house renovations are subject to feng shui considerations.
Moreover, there was an oddball in the family. They firmly believed in Ke Meiyu Fubao's identity and were naturally somewhat superstitious. In addition, the sudden loss of their offspring made them wonder if they had offended some deity.
Qi Banxian shook his head and said with a sneer, "The Ji family's fortune was originally very prosperous, but someone tampered with it and took away half of it, which affected their offspring. If this matter is not resolved, the Ji family will be buried in the long river of history."
"What happened?" Uncle Ji also got up and saw the two of them whispering in the yard. He strode over to ask.
Qi Banxian repeated, "Judging from the faces of these two comrades, something seems amiss."
The two were nervous and scared, and kept asking questions.
"Your faces have red streaks; this is... this is caused by someone using a curse!"
Poison?
They were bewildered for a moment, then immediately began groping themselves all over, no longer even calling him Comrade Qi. "Master Qi, is what you're saying true?"
Qi Banxian nodded and lowered his voice, saying, "The situation outside is too tense. I'm taking a great risk to come to your house. Even my family doesn't know about it."
"So you must never mention this to outsiders, otherwise I won't dare to take your family's work."
Grandpa Ji and Uncle Ji nodded repeatedly, "Of course, the organization is most averse to feudal ideas, we certainly won't say anything, and we hope that Master Qi can help our Ji family!"
“Our Ji family has always been kind to others, but we never expected to be cursed and have our lineage cut off. How can we face our ancestors in the afterlife…”
Qi Banxian sighed softly, "Now that I've encountered this, I certainly won't ignore it. Besides, the Ji family has been kind to me."
When he was just old enough to remember things, he had only been here for a short time.
The Qi family left him to fend for himself, neither beating nor scolding him, nor caring about his food or clothing.
The kind-hearted Ji family would occasionally give him a meal and a warm coat, and he would never forget their kindness in providing him with food and clothing.
Even without Ke Meiyu's appearance, Qi Banxian would absolutely not allow the Ji family line to end.
The three of them fell silent, reminiscing about the past.
"I will remove the Gu worms from your bodies one by one later, but I have a few requirements that you must fulfill."
Grandpa Ji and his uncle naturally nodded in agreement.
"First, apart from the people I help remove the Gu worms, everyone else must stay a mile away. I'm afraid the Gu worms can sense each other and detect something is wrong. If the Gu worms are wriggling inside your bodies, then I can't do anything about it."
"Secondly, your niece surnamed Ke is very fortunate. With her by your side, she can scare away all evil spirits."
"Third, once this matter is resolved, you are not allowed to mention it again, not even close relatives!"
Uncle Ji nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Master Qi, I will definitely instruct my family to strictly follow your instructions."
Qi Banxian nodded and said, "Let's not delay, let's begin now."
After discussing it for a while, Grandpa Ji and Uncle Ji decided that Uncle Ji would be the first to remove the Gu worm.
Grandpa Ji then led the rest of the Ji family, including the bedridden Old Master Ji and Ji Yuchen, to town in a grand procession, pretending to give the Old Master a medical check-up, and then he planned to send them home one by one.
Slightly nervous and frightened, Uncle Ji lay down on the bed and closed his eyes as Qi Banxian instructed.
