The Mystical Biological Mother Returns, the Villainous Sons Stand Up Straight – Chapter 13

Ch 13: My Son is So Cute

Gu Qingyin hadn’t gone far in the first place. Ten minutes later, she returned to Tiānfǔ Jǐnyuán, where Huo Xingye was already waiting at the entrance.

As soon as Gu Qingyin got out of the car, she sent the driver back. She walked up to Huo Xingye, scrutinized his face, and asked with concern, “You’re not scared anymore?”

Huo Xingye raised his hand and pressed it against his chest. He said calmly, “I’m wearing the jade pendant.”

Gu Qingyin chuckled. “Let’s go, let’s find the Gathering Yin Formation first.”

The hotel where Liu Ergou is staying is a bit far from here. It will take at least half an hour to get here. Gu Qingyin didn’t want to waste time just waiting.

“Do you want to learn Mystical Arts?” Gu Qingyin asked casually.

Huo Xingye was stunned for a moment, then asked, “Can just anyone learn Mystical Arts?”

“Of course not.” Gu Qingyin gave him a strange look. “This kind of thing is very particular about talent, but you are my son, so you should have inherited some of it. Even if you can’t learn to my level, it’s good to have a little more ability to protect yourself.”

Huo Xingye hesitated, “I might not have that much time.”

Gu Qingyin understood. She nodded with a smile, “That’s true, you already have enough burdens on your shoulders.”

The mother and son walked to a fountain pool in the community and stopped.

Gu Qingyin looked around and sighed, “The scale of this Gathering Yin Formation is not small. It’s a pity I don’t have a ghost messenger. Such good resources will be wasted.”

Huo Xingye was also looking, but no matter how he looked at it, it was just an ordinary fountain pool in his eyes.

“What does a Gathering Yin Formation look like?”

Gu Qingyin turned to look at him, and after a few seconds, she asked seriously, “Are you brave?”

A real man could never admit that he was timid. Huo Xingye nodded calmly, “There’s almost nothing I’m afraid of.”

Gu Qingyin nodded. “Then I’ll open your Yin-Yang Eyes.”

Huo Xingye’s heart skipped a beat. “The kind that can see ghosts after opening them?”

“That’s right. Be prepared, the surroundings might change a lot after opening your Yin-Yang Eyes.” Gu Qingyin didn’t give him a chance to go back on his word, and immediately asked, “Are you ready?”

Gu Qingyin raised her hand and went straight for Huo Xingye’s eyes. The latter subconsciously closed his eyes, and then a coolness came over his eyelids, seeping in and covering his entire eyeball.

“Okay.”

The second before opening his eyes, Huo Xingye was a little timid, but it was only for that one second. The curiosity in his heart took over, and he opened his eyes, seeing a completely different world.

The first feeling was darkness.

It was dark before, but there were streetlights, and there were many bright places, but now, even the places illuminated by the lights were dim. The darkness seemed to have solidified, blocking the light outside.

And the fountain in front of him, the water was no longer clear, but a murky mess. Something seemed to be hidden under the surface of the water, making one’s hair stand on end just by looking at it.

“Don’t stare at the water.” Gu Qingyin reminded, “The Yin Energy is too heavy, your eyes won’t be able to handle it.”

Huo Xingye turned his head and averted his gaze, accidentally making eye contact with the Hanging Ghost under the streetlight.

The Hanging Ghost stuck out its long tongue, tilted its head and stared at him, then suddenly laughed eerily and approached, “You can see me? You can see me!” The Hanging Ghost was very excited, “Then come keep me company!”

The Hanging Ghost suddenly pounced on Huo Xingye. Gu Qingyin saw it, but didn’t care. She even moved forward a bit as if afraid of getting in the way.

Huo Xingye was startled and subconsciously retreated, but he was still pounced on by the Hanging Ghost. But before he could struggle, the Hanging Ghost let out a short, miserable scream of “Ah!” and was flung into the air.

The next second, the Hanging Ghost spontaneously combusted and turned into ashes in a few seconds, disappearing into the air.

Huo Xingye’s eyes widened, and it took him several seconds to recover and gasp for breath. He pressed his rapidly beating heart and looked at Gu Qingyin with a pout and a hint of grievance.

Gu Qingyin felt a bit guilty from his gaze. She coughed lightly and said, “Now you know the power of the jade pendant, right? You won’t be afraid of ghosts anymore in the future.”

Huo Xingye: “…Okay.”

Gu Qingyin laughed heartily. Her son’s attempt to act tough was too cute!

Huo Xingye’s face was flushed, but he tried his best to control his facial expressions, remaining calm and composed.

Gu Qingyin sighed inwardly. As expected, expression management is one of the compulsory courses for a Dominant President!

After teasing her son for a while, Gu Qingyin began to get down to business. The Gathering Yin Formation was bigger than she had imagined. It would be a bit difficult to dismantle it by force, so she had to find the weak point first.

Under normal circumstances, one would have to rely on a compass to pinpoint the direction of the weak point of a formation, but Gu Qingyin didn’t need that. Her Yin-Yang Eyes were more useful than a compass.

After walking around the fountain pool once, Gu Qingyin determined the location of the weak point, but after rummaging through her satchel, she couldn’t find a suitable magical artifact to break the formation.

She clicked her tongue. There was no other way, she could only wait for Liu Ergou to come before doing anything. She had originally wanted to cause a little damage first to alert Lin Wu, but it was a pity.

Gu Qingyin sat down by the fountain pool, then patted the spot next to her, “Come sit, tell me about your childhood.”

Huo Xingye obediently sat down, trying hard to recall interesting things that happened in his childhood. Before their dad passed away, the three brothers had a happy childhood.

“Our dad spoiled us a lot, you could even say he doted on us. He gave us whatever we wanted, almost completely satisfying our material needs.” Huo Xingye’s eyes glazed over, lost in memories, “He would also patiently and seriously guide us when we made mistakes. I only remember him being angry once.”

“When we were in the middle class of kindergarten, the kids in the class said we were wild children without a mother. We got into a fight with them and knocked out one of the kids’ teeth. My dad was called to the school by the teacher.”

“After understanding what happened, my dad’s face darkened on the spot, and he demanded that the other children’s parents apologize together. He paid the medical expenses before leaving, but those few children never came to kindergarten again. I heard they transferred schools.”

“When we got home that night, he told us very solemnly that we weren’t without a mother, it was just that our mother had gone to a very far place and it would take a long time for her to come back, but he promised that he would definitely bring our mother home.”

Gu Qingyin blinked, feeling a little bittersweet in her heart.

Huo Xingye was silent for two seconds, his voice low and hoarse, “He broke his promise. Not only did he not bring you back, but he also lost himself.”

Gu Qingyin held his hand and said softly, “Mom is back now. As for your dad… when Xinghai and Xingchen come back, I can just summon his soul. As long as he hasn’t been reincarnated, even if he’s in H*ll, I can summon him back. Then our family can be considered reunited.”

Huo Xingye squeezed Gu Qingyin’s hand tightly, and after several minutes, he responded very softly.

After that, the mother and son were immersed in their own thoughts, and neither of them spoke.

When Liu Ergou arrived, he saw the heavy atmosphere between the two and didn’t dare to approach for a moment.

Gu Qingyin came back to her senses and beckoned to him, and he walked over worriedly and asked, “Did you guys quarrel?”

Gu Qingyin rolled her eyes, “We’re doing great!” She spread out her hand, “Give me a set of peach wood nails.”

Liu Ergou took them out while feeling sorry for her. “They’re expensive, so use them sparingly. This job doesn’t have an affinity fee.”

Thinking of the current prices, Gu Qingyin immediately looked serious. “I’ll try my best!”
