When Xiao Jing returned home, the Xiao family did not recognize him at first glance. The security officer thought that the blond man was some celebrity.
When Xiao Jing approached, the security officer realized that it was Xiao Jing. “Sir, your hair and eyes?” The security officer asked carefully.
Xiao Jing did not intend to explain further. “Is Master at home?
“Yes, Master said that you can go straight to the study to look for him when you come back.” With that, the security officer made way for Xiao Jing.
Not long after, everyone in the Xiao family heard the argument in the study.
“You unfilial son. You abandoned the family’s interests for your own love. Looks like I really should have a good talk with that woman. Let’s see what kind of bewitching potion she gave you!” Old Master Xiao was so angry that his face was red.
“I hope you don’t forget how my mother passed away back then. If you hadn’t divorced her and married someone else for the family’s benefit, she wouldn’t have committed suicide.” Xiao Jing slammed the table.
“I’m your father, how can you talk to me like that!”
Old Master Xiao was so angry that he had lost his rationality. “If it weren’t for the fact that I helped your mother’s family tide over the crisis back then, the Xiao family wouldn’t have hurt their foundation. In the end, they still passed away in an accident. If I had known, I wouldn’t have saved them.”
“How can you say such cold words? Didn’t you marry Mom because you liked
Grandpa’s status? Don’t you know how much the Xiao family has benefited?” Xiao Jing was also very angry. His maternal grandfather’s family had clearly done so much, but he didn’t expect them to be slandered like this even after they had passed away.
“Also, she’s my wife. Gu Teng is the youngest daughter of the Gu family, not ‘that woman’ Xiao Ting said word by word.
“Which Gu family?” Old Master Xiao asked in disbelief.
“Of course it’s the Gu family in the neighboring city,” Xiao Jing replied calmly.
Old Master Xiao revealed a look of disbelief. He sent a message to the new butler and asked him to investigate Gu Teng’s background to see if it was as Xiao Jing had said.
Then, Old Master Xiao smiled and said to stabilize Xiao Jing.
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll cancel the Chen family’s marriage now and hold a wedding for you and the youngest daughter of the Gu family. How can I let her suffer?!” Old Master Xiao suggested with a smile.
Xiao Jing rolled his eyes mockingly, but Old Master Xiao’s suggestion tempted him. He decided to stay in the Xiao family to prepare a grand wedding for Gu Teng.
On the other side, Yunbao sensed that Mao Feng had hidden Song Yun’s lover, Zhao Ning, on the top of a mountain called Black Mountain. However, when everyone arrived at the foot of Black Mountain, they realized that there was an endless plain in front of them. Where was the mountain?
Yunbao subconsciously rubbed her eyes. “That’s not right. I clearly sensed that the black mountain was here! How could it have disappeared?”
Song Yun thought for a moment and said, “It might be a smokescreen. It’s such a huge mountain. Mao Feng doesn’t have the ability to move him away.
The only possibility is that he used a curse to hide the mountain.”
Purple Eye thought for a moment and told Yunbao that the Heavenly Eye could see everything in the world. However, the method to open the Heavenly Eye had been lost for many years. No one knew how to open it, not even Purple Eye, who was more than a thousand years old.
Yunbao could not bear to see Song Yun disappointed. She thought of the sachet that Song Feng had given her and took it out to check. However, there were only some petals in the sachet. Yunbao did not understand. Could this sachet be just an ordinary sachet?
Just as Yunbao was about to give up, a gust of wind blew, and a petal in the sachet danced in the air. Soon, the petal flew in front of everyone, and circles of energy waves appeared where the petal stopped.
As if sensing something, the ripples stopped, and the petals flew back. They gently tapped Yunbao’s eyelids. Yunbao felt that her eyes were itching, so she closed them. When she opened them again, she realized that a mountain had suddenly appeared in front of her.
“Master, Fourth Uncle, look! I see the black mountain!” Yunbao jumped up excitedly.
Gu Yu and Song Yun looked at Yunbao in confusion. There was clearly nothing in front of them. Could it be that Yunbao was hallucinating?
Purple Eye looked at Yunbao and said something ambiguous, “It’s time and fate!”
