Chapter 1909: Chapter 1907: The Everlasting Pine of Mount Nan
Luo Fan also took the opportunity to consolidate some overseas companies for reforms, focusing more on handling the mess left behind by his parents, along with other matters.
So, speaking of it, no one is that simple, as if everyone carries a bit of a task, and among them, some discordant factors have occurred.
It’s unclear how it happened, but Luo Fan’s father and mother somehow snuck out and ran to Gu Garden. These two seem to have been provoked by something, despite being highly educated, and were screaming like lunatics at the gate of Gu Garden.
Fortunately, Gu Garden is very quiet and elegant, with few people strolling around, so not many heard them. Still, it angered the Old Patriarch greatly, because they were spewing vile words, saying things like Gu Qianqian couldn’t get married and was clinging to their Luo Family, and so on...
The insults were unspeakably harsh.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t understand what these two were thinking. How could the Gu Family not match up with the Luo Family? If we’re talking about their past social status, fine, but now they are direct relatives of the Old Patriarch, and in the future, only these few blood relatives can inherit the vast estate, an impeccable connection from any standpoint.
However, the world isn’t filled with things that are justified; there’s always some inexplicable events, and some people’s thoughts aren’t on the same level as regular people, making it impossible to understand their actions.
That day, Gu Qiaoqiao happened to encounter them and called Luo Fan. Then she set up a Barrier around, preventing others from hearing the couple’s filthy language, but upon seeing them making her Great Grandfather’s face turn dark with anger, Gu Qiaoqiao’s face turned cold, as she flicked her fingers, sending two Ice Arrow Talismans to hit their foreheads. Silently, it made them shiver, feeling cold all over, wanting to curse, but unable to utter a word...
Luo Fan arrived quickly, had bodyguards put his parents in the car, and apologized to the Old Grand Master. Later, Elder Luo personally came with a hefty gift. What could the Old Grand Master say?
He could only remark on the misfortune in the family; for a large family like them, which doesn’t have such incidents?
But Gu Qiaoqiao always felt something was odd.
Since she learned to draw the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation, the world in her eyes has taken a new shape, where many things previously hazy are now exceptionally clear, so at the gate of Gu Garden, it was her first encounter with Luo Fan’s parents after mastering the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation.
Thus, the angered Gu Qiaoqiao noticed two peculiar black energies above their heads.
The shape of the black energies appeared to be like two skulls if looked at carefully.
This doesn’t mean they are the only ones in the world like this, as some severely ill individuals also have similar black energies in various shapes.
Regarding this, Gu Qiaoqiao isn’t quite clear at the moment, as before learning to draw the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation, she couldn’t see it this distinctly, only sensing the nature of a person’s aura, but now she can clearly see the shape of auras.
For instance, for Great Grandfather, Great Grandma, and a few others over the age of eighty, along with Grandma Qin, the aura above their heads is white mist, with somewhat identical shapes.
It’s vaguely mountainous and seemed to have a Green Pine atop the highest mountain.
Later discussing with Qin Yize, Gu Qiaoqiao analyzed that it might be due to the Mind Power of people; when celebrating birthdays, people throughout history loved to say fortune lasts as long as the East Sea, life stretches like the Southern Mountain and the Old Pine...
Perhaps long-lived people have the Southern Mountain and the Old Pine as the mist above their heads, although Gu Qiaoqiao has yet to know where the Southern Mountain is, this doesn’t hinder such interpretations.
Mind Power is actually a persistent and terrifying thing, like the appearance of an Immortal, formed either by countless people’s minds or through wielding Divine Power to shape mind influence.
It’s quite mystically profound.
Just that, Qin Yize’s and her own aura, she unexpectedly couldn’t see.
The two children are still young, she never tried to view theirs, but for Sima Xiaowen and Chu Chengfeng, she can sense flame-like gas, though not much else; fundamentally, this might be the difference between the Mystic Sect folks and ordinary people.
Thus, it was truly Gu Qiaoqiao’s first time witnessing skull-shaped black malevolent energy, unable to contact Uncle, forced to exchange privately with Qin Yize.
At this moment, the night was dark and deep; Luo Fan’s parents visited Gu Garden yesterday and have since been completely confined.
Gu Qiaoqiao tossed and turned, frowning slightly. Qin Yize helplessly extended his hand to smooth her brow, gently saying, "Everyone has their fate, and whatever happens is the result after their initial choice. This time, we’re mainly going for the wedding and checking on Luo Ye. Whether we can bring him back depends on the severity of his condition, as for others, don’t worry."
Gu Qiaoqiao moved her brow, softly saying, "I noticed you’ve been saying such things more often lately."
Qin Yize sighed slightly, "Indeed, I sometimes feel these words are very hollow, making little difference."
"...Ah Ze, it can’t be helped, since heaven endowed me with this ability, perhaps I am meant to encounter these situations, but let’s talk about it when the time comes."
"Qiaoqiao, you don’t need to think so complexly; I’ve investigated, Luo Fan’s parents were not virtuous in their youth, hence Elder Luo is quite disappointed and devoted all his energy to Luo Fan. Some things aren’t changed overnight, building up over time, even if someone plotted against them, they would need to harbor such intent."
"Why, for such matters, Elder Luo and Luo Fan likely aren’t aware, and perhaps knowing it would make them less resentful of their parents."
"Not necessarily, what if the couple is willingly doing this?" Qin Yize deliberately expressed his speculation.
It’s true; this is quite possible.
Maybe this year Luo Fan can discover whether there’s hidden mischief behind his parents.
However, regardless of the investigation, as long as it doesn’t harm Gu Qianqian, it’s fine.
The university where Gu Qianqian is an exchange student is only an hour’s drive from Qin Sisi’s home. So, it’s quite convenient.
This year is filled with joyful events indeed; Sister Li’s wedding, Sima Xiaowen’s wedding, and now Zhou Han’s marriage.
We just hope everything goes smoothly, Gu Qiaoqiao stopped pondering further, but instead nestled obediently into Qin Yize’s arms, in the assuring aura, sinking into deep sleep.
