The other members of the Gu family did not catch up in time, so only the two of them could go in now. Gu Yu held Yunbao’s hand and said, “Don’t be afraid. Fourth Uncle will protect you.”
Yunbao smiled and said, “Fourth Uncle, don’t be afraid. Yunbao will protect you.”
Hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Gu Yu’s tense face. He reached out and pinched Yunbao’s face. “Fourth Uncle isn’t that old to need your protection. You can say this when you grow up.”
Yunbao was a little unconvinced. In her opinion, she could completely protect
Fourth Uncle. There was no need to wait until she grew up.
At this moment, Purple Eye said, “This barrier will restrict the power of foreign souls. I can’t provide you two with substantial help. Everything after that will depend on you.”
“Ancestor, please rest assured that we will definitely succeed,” Gu Yu said respectfully.
As he answered, the Purple Eye disappeared in midair. She returned to Yunbao’s purple crystal bracelet. Only then could she resist the pressure brought by the barrier.
The two of them worked together and stepped through the orphanage’s door. It was indeed a completely different world inside. It was actually an ancient-looking house. It definitely did not look like a modern building.
The two of them carefully walked in and realized that there were actually servants coming in and out. They were holding all kinds of equipment in their hands and looked happy, as if something happy was about to happen at home.
However, without exception, they ignored Gu Yu and Yunbao, as if they could not see the two of them at all. Yunbao even reached out to touch the servants, but her hand passed through their bodies.
“Fourth Uncle!” Yunbao grabbed Gu Yu’s hand tightly. “Are they ghosts too?”
“No, they’re just phantoms left behind in the past,” Gu Yu explained. “These people used to exist. Someone intercepted what happened to them on this day with a magic artifact and placed them in this barrier, creating such a scene.”
Yunbao did not quite understand what interception was. She said, “Then is it like watching a movie?”
“More or less.” Gu Yu nodded and said, “You can treat it as a 3D movie.”
Yunbao quickly accepted this explanation and even began to observe the servants’ actions. She said, “Fourth Uncle, they seem to be going forward.”
Gu Yu also saw this and followed with Yunbao. When they walked to the front yard, he realized that there were lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere. The servants were cleaning and decorating. Everyone had smiles on their faces.
“Fourth Uncle, this looks like a marriage in a television drama,” Yunbao said excitedly.
Gu Yu also sensed that this was the case, but he didn’t understand what this had to do with the female ghost to make her run back at all costs.
The building and the servants’ attire didn’t look modern. They looked at least hundreds of years old. Could the female ghost have been dead for hundreds of years?
It was not easy for a soul to survive in the world for a long time. If the female ghost did it, her cultivation would be very difficult to estimate. He and Yunbao were probably not her match.
Just as Gu Yu was letting his imagination run wild, a girl who looked like a maidservant ran over and said, “Auntie Zhang, you should hurry over. Miss doesn’t like that red veil.’
The woman called Auntie Zhang quickly followed and said outside a room,
“Miss, I wonder what’s wrong with this veil?”
“The pattern on this should be the auspicious dragon and phoenix. Why are you embroidering mandarin ducks for me?” The young lady inside asked coldly.
However, in Gu Yu and Yunbao’s ears, this was Gu Zi’s voice.
“It’s Sister Gu Zi. How did she become the Miss?” Yunbao exclaimed.
Gu Yu frowned. “This is the female ghost talking with Gu Zi t s body. The female ghost has experienced the scenes here, but why did she trap herself in this barrier? Even if she can keep this day alive, it can only be repeated. Even if another hundred years pass, she can only experience this day.”
“Yunbao understands,” Yunbao said. “This day will definitely be the happiest day for the female ghost, so she’s willing to spend every day like this.”
Gu Yu was puzzled. “Even if there will never be a future?”
“What does that matter? Yunbao played with Sister Lily two days ago. After that, I ate a very delicious cake and watched a movie together at night. I think that was the best day. If only I could live like this every day. 1 might not be so happy tomorrow..”
