The Mystical Biological Mother Returns, the Villainous Sons Stand Up Straight – Chapter 11

Ch 11: This Community is Not Simple

After hesitating for a long time, Xue Ning still mentioned this matter to Huo Xingye during a work report.

Clarification is definitely necessary, but the question is which method to use. The main point is whether to publicly reveal the identity of the Head Mother.

After listening, Huo Xingye felt it was outrageous. After pondering for a moment, he decided to temporarily not disclose it, only saying that she was an extremely important family member with blood ties.

Of course, Gu Qingyin’s identity couldn’t be concealed forever, but Gu Qingyin was not only his mother, he also had two younger brothers. He wanted to wait until Xinghai and Xingchen returned, and the family recognized each other before making it public.

Huo Xingye’s thoughts were very meticulous. He didn’t want his brothers to hear the news of their mother’s return from other people, and he didn’t want them to feel even a little uncomfortable.

Xue Ning understood and immediately used a burner account to guide the discussion in the group. The rumors quickly subsided.

When Gu Qingyin got off work in the evening, she found that everyone was still enthusiastic, but the degree had obviously decreased a lot, which made her feel much more at ease.

“What do you want to eat?”

Huo Xingye asked in the car on the way back.

Gu Qingyin asked in return, “How do you usually handle dinner?”

“If it’s early, I’ll go home to eat. If it’s late, I’ll eat outside.” Huo Xingye didn’t like having too many unrelated people in the house. The cook only came during meal times and left when it was over.

Gu Qingyin nodded with anticipation, “Then can I go back with you to eat?”

Actually, Huo Xingye regretted it as soon as he said it. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to take Gu Qingyin back to his residence, but it was a bit inconvenient…

But after hesitating for two seconds, he still nodded. Then, he took out his phone and sent two messages.

Twenty minutes later, the car drove into a high-end residential community called Tianfu Jin Yuan. Gu Qingyin’s casual expression disappeared, and she became serious.

“What’s wrong?” Huo Xingye had been paying attention to her. Seeing this, he couldn’t help but ask.

Gu Qingyin was born with Yin-Yang Eyes and was an unparalleled genius in cultivating Mystical Arts. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to stand at the peak of the Mystical Arts World at such a young age.

Therefore, as soon as she entered the community, she saw that the Yin energy in this community was abnormally heavy. In just two hundred meters, she had already seen several ghost shadows.

“Stop the car.” Gu Qingyin ordered in a deep voice. The driver subconsciously stepped on the brakes.

Gu Qingyin pushed the door open and got out of the car, walking towards a nearby ghost shadow. Something abnormal must be a demon, but investigating bit by bit was too troublesome, so it was better to ask directly.

Huo Xingye also got out of the car. Seeing that her expression was not right, he only pursed his lips and followed without saying a word.

Gu Qingyin didn’t waste any words. She threw out a talisman, and a short scream came from the darkness. Then, she calmly took out a glass bottle, shook the mouth of the bottle towards the dark area, and finally took another talisman to seal the mouth of the bottle.

Huo Xingye watched the whole process, but because he couldn’t see the Yin energy, in his eyes, Gu Qingyin seemed to be performing a silent play, with a bit of slapstick. But he knew clearly in his heart that Gu Qingyin was probably collecting ghosts.

“Let’s go, let’s go home first.”

The two didn’t get back into the car. They walked all the way to the entrance of the building. During this time, Gu Qingyin opened the bottle several times.

The bottle was very small, and there were a bit too many ghosts collected. In the end, even Huo Xingye vaguely saw the transparent bottle turn black.

While waiting for the elevator, Huo Xingye couldn’t help but ask, “Are there many ghosts in the community?” The thought that he might have brushed shoulders with a ghost when he went home at night made Huo Xingye’s heart tremble.

Gu Qingyin didn’t hide it, “Yes, abnormally many.”

Huo Xingye pursed his lips with a tense expression.

Gu Qingyin chuckled, “Scared? Don’t worry, wear the jade pendant I gave you, and ordinary ghosts will avoid you.”

Huo Xingye touched the jade pendant on his chest and felt a lot more at ease.

“Are ghosts… this common?”

After getting on the elevator, Huo Xingye, who had recovered, asked curiously.

“Of course not.” Gu Qingyin said, “Under normal circumstances, most people will enter the Netherworld for reincarnation after death. Those who are reluctant to leave the mortal world will also be taken away by Black and White Impermanence. Those who can stay in the mortal world are evil ghosts with obsessions and resentment.”

“They still have karma in the mortal world that hasn’t ended, so the Netherworld won’t accept them. But even if they stay in the mortal world, eight or nine out of ten evil ghosts will turn into irrational wandering souls over time, and eventually dissipate completely in the world one day.”

“Very few can truly become Fierce Ghosts.”

Huo Xingye nodded slowly, “Then what’s going on with this community?”

Gu Qingyin shrugged, “I don’t know, I’ll ask later and find out.”

Huo Xingye lived in a duplex penthouse on the top floor, with a usable area of more than 300 square meters. Pushing open the door, a feeling of coldness and emptiness swept over him, and the whole world seemed to quiet down.

“Where’s your study? I need to use it.” Gu Qingyin’s not-too-loud voice broke the silence, as if suddenly injecting a bit of vitality into this home.

Huo Xingye was stunned for a moment, and instinctively pointed to the location on the second floor. After Gu Qingyin went upstairs, he seemed to regain his senses and chuckled softly. The feeling of having another person in the house was really… wonderful.

The doors upstairs were all open, probably to facilitate ventilation. Only the door at the end of the corridor was closed, and it was unknown what was inside.

Gu Qingyin glanced at it and didn’t care. She found the study, went in, and closed the door. She pasted talismans on the window and the door, and then opened the bottle, releasing all the ghosts she had just collected.

The ghosts seemed frightened. As soon as they came out, they scurried around, trying to pass through the walls, but with a “bang,” they were bounced back by the golden light. After crashing several times, all the ghosts became obedient, shrinking together like quails, trembling as they looked at Gu Qingyin.

Gu Qingyin sat down on the sofa, looking at them coldly, “I ask, you answer. If you dare to lie…”

“We wouldn’t dare, we wouldn’t dare.”

Gu Qingyin snorted coldly and asked, “Who gathered you here?”

The ghosts looked at each other, very confused, “We came here ourselves. The Yin energy here is heavy, and the environment is good for living.”

Gu Qingyin raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking to herself, someone set up a Gathering Yin Formation in this community? Attracting a group of wandering souls, what’s the purpose?

“When did you come here? After you came, did you find anything strange or any strange people?”

“There are too many!”

“There’s a boss who’s especially bold. He lives with his wife in the building to the east and his mistress in the building to the south, enjoying the blessings of both!”

“There’s a phoenix man in the next building who married into wealth and became a superior person. He’s capable at work and treats his wife very well. His parents-in-law are also very satisfied with him. But!”

“He still has a wife in his hometown, and his son is over three years old!”

Gu Qingyin’s eyes widened and she said “Whoa,” “What else, what else?”

“In the building next to the next building, there’s an old lady who wanted to arrange a ghost marriage for her son who died young, but she brought home a red-clothed female ghost, and it’s been a constant mess. It feels like she’s about to die.”

Gu Qingyin commented, “Serves her right.”

“Yeah, the old lady also hired a Taoist Master, but after he looked at it, he said he couldn’t handle it and left.”

“Taoist Master?” Gu Qingyin’s expression became slightly serious, “When did that Taoist Master come?”

“Just last month!”

The Yin energy in the community was so heavy, any Taoist Master with a bit of skill would have noticed the abnormality, but after so long, that Taoist Master didn’t do anything.

Either the Taoist Master was a fraud, or the Taoist Master knew the inside story and didn’t dare or couldn’t do anything.

Gu Qingyin narrowed her eyes, took out her phone, and sent a message to Liu Ergou: Help me inquire about something.
