Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

Chapter 1446 - 1446 Plot

1446 Plot

At that moment, the Qi family was in a mess. Because of what happened to Qi Zhenbai, even the usually calm Qi family patriarch lost his rationality. His face was filled with panic and he staggered. He was deathly pale as he leaned on his cane and stopped in front of Zhenbai’s room, afraid that something had really happened to him.

He really didn’t dare imagine the consequences if something happened to Zhenbai.

Old Master Qi could still calm down a little as the Qi family’s anchor. The rest of the Qi family lost their minds. Father Qi’s eyes were red and filled with tears. As for Mother Qi, she couldn’t help but cover her face with a handkerchief and cry.

Fortunately, the sisters-in-law helped to soothe her. However, this matter was too big. Not only them, the Qi family’s second and third sons also completely panicked after Qi Zhenbai’s accident. They couldn’t focus and could only wait at the door of Zhenbai’s room with everyone else.

Qi Yunchang, a young lady, couldn’t help but cry. Qi Hao had a closer relationship with Qi Zhenbai, and they were sometimes more like biological brothers than cousins. How could Qi Hao accept something happening to his cousin?

Qi Hao’s eyes were red from crying for a while. He said to the old man in disbelief, “Grandpa, how on earth did something happen to Cousin? How could something happen to him? He’s usually so capable. By the way, who said to move the grave? Why? If it hadn’t been moved, my cousin would have been fine!”

After Qi Hao said that, his father was about to scold this kid and tell him to keep quiet, when the fourth son of the Qi family said in a strange tone behind him, “Haozi, you can’t talk nonsense. I’m also upset that something happened to Zhenbai.”

The fourth son of the Qi family still had some acting skills. When the old man looked at him, he even squeezed out a few tears and said to the old man with a pained expression, “Dad, is Zhenbai okay? Why did something happen? How can anything happen to Zhenbai? The Masters clearly said that that place has the most dragon qi in the capital. It’s definitely a good place. Why is Zhenbai’s luck bad?”

The Qi family patriarch had lived for so long; how could he not see that his fourth son was shedding crocodile tears? Although he said that he was worried about Zhenbai, he probably couldn’t wait for something to happen to Zhenbai and was gloating over his misfortune. It was precisely because of this that the Qi family patriarch was completely disappointed in his son. If Zhenbai’s matter really had something to do with his fourth son, he would never let this kid off again.

Compared with a useless and ruthless son, the old man preferred a filial and capable grandson more. Besides, he had so many sons, but Zhenbai was the one grandson whom he had raised himself.

Compared with all his sons, Zhenbai was more important, and was the future hope of the Qi family. Thinking this, the Qi family patriarch’s eyes flashed with coldness and ruthlessness when they fell on his fourth son.

Fourth Brother Qi didn’t see the ruthlessness in the old man’s eyes. Seeing everyone in the Qi family cry their eyes out, and how ugly the old man’s expression was, Fourth Brother Qi gloated. At the same time, he felt more and more that his family was biased. The old man was too biased. As for Qi Zhenbai, he should die as soon as possible. Fourth Brother Qi couldn’t wait anymore!

The fourth son of the Qi family originally wanted to put on a show and be ‘sad’ with the Qi family, but the door opened with a creak.

Sure enough!

Celestial Master Zhang of Longhu Mountain shook his head at everyone. “Young Master Qi is still unconscious. Coupled with the outbreak of his cold ailment, I’m afraid… it’s really hard to say! It’s up to Young Master Qi now!”

As soon as Celestial Master Zhang said that, Qi Hao blurted out, “I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it. How could something happen to my cousin? How could something happen to him? I’m going to find my sister-in-law. She’ll definitely have a way to save my cousin!” With that, he turned around and ran to the door.

When Old Master Qi heard that Haozi wanted to look for Shuyan, his eyes lit up. However, he thought of how Zhenbai had stopped him from looking for his wife when he woke up before. Old Master Qi knew his grandson best; how could he not understand what Zhenbai was worried about?

It would be fine if Zhenbai could be saved, but if he couldn’t, the Qi family patriarch really didn’t want Shuyan to worry and be sad for no reason. He valued Zhenbai more than his life, and Shuyan, his granddaughter-in-law, was also very important. Besides, that child was usually as filial as Zhenbai. How could he bear to see her sad and upset?

The Qi family patriarch immediately stopped Qi Hao. The last person who wanted Qi Zhenbai alive was Fourth Brother Qi. Afraid that Qi Hao would really find some expert to save him, Fourth Brother Qi moved even faster and stopped Qi Hao. “Haozi, why are you in such a hurry? Celestial Master Zhang…”

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp gaze fell on him from not far away. Who else could it be but the old man? It was rare for the fourth son of the Qi family to feel flustered and guilty under the old man’s gaze. He forgot to finish his sentence, and obediently shut up.

Qi Hao’s face was filled with reluctance. He itched to kick his fourth uncle in the leg, but was pulled to the side by his father in time, and was reprimanded.

The Qi family patriarch knew that this child was worried about Zhenbai, and couldn’t bear to let his second son reprimand her. He immediately had his second daughter-in-law take the child downstairs first.

Then, his gaze fell on Celestial Master Zhang in front of him. His eyes were sharp and searching, and he had a formidable aura which made Celestial Master Zhang feel deferential in a rare moment. The Qi family patriarch said, “Celestial Master Zhang, I want to ask you a few things in private!”

Celestial Master Zhang immediately said, “Okay!”

Old Master Qi motioned for Celestial Master Zhang to follow him to the study.

On the side, Fourth Brother Qi couldn’t help but feel worried when he heard the old man’s words. He could fool laymen, but he really couldn’t fool anyone in the know. As for Celestial Master Zhang of Longhu Mountain, Fourth Brother Qi had long thought of a countermeasure. He had vaguely heard before that there was bad blood between this Celestial Master Zhang and Qi Zhenbai, where the Master’s most treasured disciple had been harmed. It was unlikely that he would help Zhenbai.

It was just that his old man had interfered too quickly, so Fourth Brother Qi couldn’t help but panic. He heard the old man say, “Celestial Master Zhang, no matter how much bad blood or misunderstandings my Qi family has had with you before, I hope we can let bygones be bygones. The Qi family and Longhu Mountain can make peace, and my Qi family will naturally give you a lot of assistance!”
