The Mystical Biological Mother Returns, the Villainous Sons Stand Up Straight – Chapter 14

Ch 14: Mother is So Cool

About to start dealing with serious matters, Huo Xingye also composed himself, stood a little further away, and silently reflected on his embarrassing behavior just now.

He didn’t mean to seek sympathy. Perhaps it was because the night was too dark, the atmosphere was just right, and he was facing the mother he had been looking forward to finding for many years. The vulnerability in his heart was not concealed for a moment and was exposed.

Fortunately, Mother didn’t laugh at him and gave him feedback that could be described as gentle.

A family reunion… A glimmer of light flashed in Huo Xingye’s eyes, there will definitely be such a day.

Gu Qingyin, holding an inch-long peach wood nail, walked to the weak point of the formation, found the right place and drove in the nail. In order to lure the snake out of its hole, she deliberately drove it a few inches off, so that the formation would not break immediately, but its effectiveness was greatly reduced.

Soon Gu Qingyin had only two of the entire set of eighteen peach wood nails left in her hand. The Gathering Yin Formation still looked the same from the outside, but those in the know knew that this formation wouldn’t last long.

To remedy it, it must be done as soon as possible.

“Just wait, it’s estimated that they will arrive soon.”

Putting herself in their shoes, if Gu Qingyin had set up this formation, then she would definitely not live too far away from here. If something happened and she couldn’t make it back in time, the loss would be great.

Sure enough, in less than five minutes, a thin figure came running from a distance, then slammed on the brakes when he saw Liu Ergou wearing a Taoist robe, and turned around to run.

“Halt!” Liu Ergou shouted, “Coward! Where are you running!”

Gu Qingyin: …Suddenly felt so embarrassed, wouldn’t her son think that all Taoist Master were clowns? D*mn it, her reputation was ruined.

“You stay here, I’ll go after them.” Gu Qingyin hurriedly said, and chased after Liu Ergou.

Huo Xingye hesitated for two seconds and stood still. Although he had the jade amulet for protection, the methods of a Taoist Master were unpredictable. If he was caught and used as a hostage, he would only be a burden to Gu Qingyin.

At this moment, he regretted it a little. He shouldn’t have come out.

This thought reached its peak when a hand stretched out from behind and grabbed his neck.

Fortunately, things didn’t get to the worst point. Gu Qingyin and Liu Ergou escorted Lin Wu back.

With one person holding a hostage each, things suddenly became a little complicated. Would the next step be to exchange hostages, or to perish together?

The person who hijacked Huo Xingye was wearing a large black cloak, a plain mask of the same color on their face, and gloves on their hands. Not to mention their appearance, it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female.

Gu Qingyin sneered disdainfully, “As expected of a rat, only fit to live in the gutter.” She deliberately showed a disdainful and contemptuous expression, just to provoke the other person to speak. Unfortunately, the other person was ruthless and didn’t say much, tightening the arm that was strangling Huo Xingye’s neck without saying a word.

Huo Xingye’s face turned red visibly to the naked eye, a sign of difficulty breathing.

A trace of panic flashed in Gu Qingyin’s heart. Why wasn’t this person following the usual routine!

At the critical moment, Liu Ergou was very helpful. He put the blade on Lin Wu’s neck, and a thin bloodstain appeared. He threatened in a cold voice, “Let the person go, or I’ll cut a hole in his neck and let him bleed properly.”

Gu Qingyin’s heart was in her throat. Now she was just afraid that Lin Wu was just a small fry and of no use at all.

The cloaked person hesitated for a moment, then slowly released their arm.

Huo Xingye let out a “huh” sound, gasping for breath, his eyes bloodshot. He really thought he was going to die just now. Now that he had recovered, he couldn’t help but be distracted and think wildly. This amulet didn’t seem to be of any use to people.

Gu Qingyin also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, raised her hand to grab Lin Wu’s neck, lifted him up, and asked in a cold voice, “State your purpose.”

The cloaked person still didn’t say a word, truly unusually cautious. On the other hand, Lin Wu, holding his breath, opened his mouth with a “huh, huh,” “You, ants, are not worthy…”

Gu Qingyin’s face darkened, and the hand holding his neck exerted a little force. He was choked so that he couldn’t make a sound, “I don’t want to hear nonsense.”

Huo Xingye was a little shocked. The Gu Qingyin in front of him was completely different from the one he had been in contact with these past few days. Cold and stern, with a powerful aura, she didn’t take human life into consideration at all with every move.

Isn’t it illegal for a Taoist Master to kill someone?

Huo Xingye’s heartbeat was a little fast, and his eyes looking at Gu Qingyin were slightly bright, as if they were filled with stars.

His mother, was a little cool.

In a daze, Huo Xingye heard a very soft sound coming from behind him. It was clearly close at hand, but he couldn’t hear it clearly. However, instinctively, he felt that it wasn’t a good thing, and immediately spoke to remind, “He’s chanting a spell!”

It sounded a little childish, but the situation was urgent, and he didn’t know what words to use to describe and warn. “Spell” was his first reaction.

Gu Qingyin reacted quickly, but didn’t let go of Lin Wu. With a single-handed finger gesture, thunder light was born out of thin air, and shot out like lightning, grazing Huo Xingye’s ear and landing on the person behind him.

Huo Xingye heard a muffled groan. The person restraining him was forced to let go. His heart tightened, and without caring about whether his posture was good or not, he bent down and crawled towards Gu Qingyin on all fours.

When he looked up, he saw Gu Qingyin with a complicated expression, “It’s a good thing there’s no one else nearby, otherwise your Dominant President’s face wouldn’t be saved.”

Huo Xingye’s body stiffened, then he got up expressionlessly, patted the dust off his body, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyin threw the person in her hand away and applauded him.

Huo Xingye’s eyebrows twitched, looked at the person motionless on the ground, and asked in a tense voice, “Is he dead?”

Before Gu Qingyin could respond, Liu Ergou said regretfully, “He was rescued. This is just a substitute. Although Qingyin is powerful, she was still one step too slow in the end.”

Hearing this, Huo Xingye didn’t know whether to follow along in regret or breathe a sigh of relief.

Gu Qingyin drove the last two peach wood nails into the formation, and the formation shattered in response. After a few breaths, the surrounding Yin energy had faded a lot, and the moonlight shone on the ground through the thin Yin energy.

Gu Qingyin looked up and glanced, “It’s midnight.”

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Liu Ergou yawned and said, “I’ll go back and tell them to see if they can find similar places. Since they have a plan, they must have set up more than one formation.” He waved his hand, “Contact me by phone.”

Gu Qingyin also waved with a smile, “Thank you for your hard work. I’ll transfer the money for the peach wood nails to you later, consider it me buying them.”

Peach wood nails are a relatively common magical artifact used by Taoist Master. Breaking formations, suppressing ghosts, and using them as hidden weapons, there are many uses and they are convenient to carry. The only drawback is that peach wood nails are consumables. Once they are used up, you have to buy them, and good quality ones are indeed not cheap.

Liu Ergou glanced at Huo Xingye and said without the slightest bit of politeness, “I haven’t used this set even once, I’m going to charge the original price.” He had investigated Huo Xingye’s background. This son of Qingyin’s could be said to be richer than a country, so he wouldn’t pretend to be generous.

Gu Qingyin glared at him and said unhappily, “I know, would I be short of your money?”

Liu Ergou left contentedly.

Gu Qingyin shook her head with a smile, turned around and was about to say goodbye to her son when she heard Huo Xingye say, “It’s too late, just rest here.”
