Ch 45: Son is Missing
Gu Qingyin generously didn’t bother to argue with her.
Well, ghosts are generally not very normal. Arguing with them is truly foolish. Besides, this Ghost Cultivator is almost dead, what’s the point of arguing with a dead ghost?
Gu Qingyin casually made a gesture, and the runes in the air seemed to come alive, spinning around her fingers, occasionally nuzzling her, appearing very affectionate.
The Ghost Cultivator was both jealous and angry at the sight. Gu Qingyin clearly didn’t take her seriously!
Her eyes were so red they seemed to drip blood, and she threw the talisman out without warning.
The talisman broke through the dense Yin energy and appeared in front of Gu Qingyin in an instant.
Gu Qingyin flicked her finger, and the runes wrapped around her fingertip immediately went to meet it.
The runes emitted a dazzling golden light, hanging in the air like a small sun. All the Yin energy illuminated by the light melted and evaporated like snowflakes.
The Mountain Collapse Talisman visibly deflated, the strokes on the runes flickered, and it completely fell apart before long.
Gu Qingyin wasn’t surprised at all. The power of the runes lies in each stroke. The runes drawn by everyone look the same at first glance, but a slight difference leads to a great error. That’s why the power of the runes varies.
It’s like some people write beautifully, and some people write poorly. Good writing is hard to come by, and bad writing can’t be sold even if you pay someone to take it.
The runes of Gu Qingyin and the Ghost Cultivator were like this: one could be called top-level, and the other couldn’t be said to be the worst, but at most it was just ordinary.
The Mountain Collapse Talisman collapsed too quickly, and the surrounding Yin energy was also dissolved. The Ghost Cultivator had nowhere to hide and was completely exposed to the light emitted by the runes.
Black mist emerged from her body, and she screamed miserably, trying to escape, but the runes in the air followed her like a shadow.
“Let me go! I won’t dare to do it again!” The Ghost Cultivator begged for mercy, rolling around.
Gu Qingyin shrugged helplessly, “I can’t pause the runes once they’re activated. It hasn’t exploded yet.” She paused, and said magnanimously, “If you’re still alive after the runes explode, I’ll let you go, how about that?”
Only then did the Ghost Cultivator remember that the small sun-like rune was actually a bomb!
The fear in the Ghost Cultivator’s eyes intensified. Just as she was about to open her mouth to continue begging for mercy, the runes suddenly exploded at this moment.
A huge explosion sounded, but because of the existence of the barrier inside the villa, the sound didn’t spread out at all. At the same time, the air surged, comparable to a typhoon passing through, and the wall skin in the corridor was lifted.
The Lin family siblings in the room huddled in the corner of the bed, hugging each other tightly. In the face of crisis, every second was very difficult to endure.
I don’t know how long it took, but silence returned to the villa again.
Lin Tian tremblingly raised her head and asked expectantly, “Did Sister Qing win?”
“Probably.” Lin Xian swallowed. This was the best outcome. If Gu Qingyin lost, he and Lin Tian would only have a dead end.
The siblings looked at each other uneasily for a few seconds, and thought in unison, let’s wait a little longer.
The two didn’t wait long before the door opened with a “creak”—originally, the door didn’t make a sound when it was opened or closed, probably because the door was damaged by the explosion just now.
The Lin family siblings looked at the door in unison, their eyes wide and motionless, their hearts beating so fast they were about to fly out. It wasn’t until Gu Qingyin’s familiar face appeared that the two suddenly relaxed and gasped for breath.
They were so nervous just now that they forgot to breathe.
“Where’s that ghost?” Lin Tian slumped on the ground, her hands and feet weak, still not forgetting to ask about the battle situation.
Gu Qingyin raised her eyebrows and smiled, “Her soul has flown away and her spirit has scattered.” Being able to die under her rune bomb can be considered the Ghost Cultivator’s last bit of good fortune, a painless salvation in a second.
Lin Tian completely relaxed and leaned against the corner of the bed, sizing up Gu Qingyin.
The commotion outside was so loud just now, she thought Gu Qingyin would be a little disheveled, but looking at her now, she couldn’t see any traces of fighting at all.
Lin Tian’s eyes gradually brightened. Sister Qing is so amazing.
Lin Xian was a boy after all, and his nerves were much thicker than Lin Tian’s. Hearing that there was no danger, he supported himself on the floor, stood up, and walked out.
“What are you doing?” Gu Qingyin asked, puzzled, as she made way.
Lin Xian walked out of the room and looked at the corridor, which looked like it had just undergone home renovation and demolition. He was stunned for several seconds before uttering a top-notch exclamation, “Holy s*it!!”
Originally, he was just instinctively afraid of ghosts, but now the danger of ghosts had been completely materialized before his eyes. He also belatedly realized how dangerous his situation had been just now.
Lin Xian’s heart, which had not been calm for long, began to beat wildly again because of the lingering fear.
Lin Xian’s performance aroused Lin Tian’s curiosity. She supported herself on the bed and stood up, her legs trembling but very determined, and moved to the door. The moment she saw the tragic state of the corridor, she actually took out her mobile phone to take a selfie.
Gu Qingyin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Do you have to keep a souvenir of this?”
Lin Tian said seriously, “This kind of experience probably only happens once in a lifetime. In case I wake up and think it’s a dream, I have to record it in advance.”
This reminded Gu Qingyin. She also took out her mobile phone and started filming, while filming, she apologized insincerely, “Sorry, the house is a bit messy, but the ghost has been eliminated. After the renovation, you can live in peace.”
“Lastly…” Gu Qingyin turned the camera to film herself, and reminded with a smile, “Please transfer the final payment as soon as possible.”
After filming, Gu Qingyin sent the video to Qi Zhou, who actually replied in seconds, saying that he could make the payment immediately.
Gu Qingyin was very satisfied, “Next time President Qi looks for me, I can give you a 10% discount.”
Qi Zhou: …For the first time, I hope I won’t need the discount in this lifetime.
With the matter resolved, the Lin family siblings saw Gu Qingyin off.
Gu Qingyin got into the sightseeing car and said before leaving, “Get some rest early. You don’t have to worry about the villa, I’ll talk to the production crew.”
Lin Tian nodded obediently and watched Gu Qingyin drive away with Lin Xian before going back. When they went up to the second floor and saw the damaged corridor, they couldn’t help but be shocked.
“Sister Qing’s abilities can already be classified as superhuman.” Lin Xian pondered, holding his chin, “I wonder if Sister Qing accepts disciples.”
Lin Tian couldn’t help but scoff and rolled her eyes, “Even if she does, she won’t accept you. You’ll never learn it with your IQ.”
Lin Xian wanted to refute, but thinking about his performance tonight, he silently closed his mouth.
In less than twenty minutes, Gu Qingyin returned to her residence.
Seeing the half-open courtyard door after getting off the car, Gu Qingyin frowned slightly. Did she forget to close the door when she left? When she entered the courtyard, she saw that the villa door was also open, and her eyes suddenly darkened.
Someone sneaked in, and that person was likely Feng Xia.
Gu Qingyin quickly pushed open the door and entered the villa, running upstairs in three steps and two steps, heading straight for Huo Xinghai’s bedroom.
Pushing open the door, there was no one in the room.
Gu Qingyin frowned tightly, raised her hand and quickly calculated. After a moment, she cursed, turned around and ran down again, her figure as fast as a gust of wind.
In less than a minute, Gu Qingyin appeared outside the Fu family villa.
I forgot to write the chapter name in the previous chapter, it’s bare, I’m sad o(╥﹏╥)o
