Chapter 1112: Great Immortal Divines the Future
Mo Chengfeng was a bit puzzled as to why Gu Yu stopped him, but he understood that his brother would never harm him, so he stopped.
Gu Yu smiled and said, "That’s right, Brother Zixuan cannot personally greet you due to some special reasons, please understand!"
This dignified statement clearly revealed their identity.
Firstly, he called him Brother Zixuan instead of the widely used title Master Zixuan, which sufficiently proved their deep relationship with Liu Zixuan.
Secondly, he mentioned that he couldn’t appear in person, without saying whether Liu Zixuan came or not.
Thirdly, Gu Yu at the end mentioned greeting Ai Zexin, thereby closing some distance between them. In plain terms, it was also to ask about Mo Chengfeng’s aunt in the future.
Having followed Liu Zixuan for so long, along with Gu Yu’s longstanding style of handling affairs, he has become more mature and slick compared to before.
Thinking back, this guy dared to deceive the heavens, the earth, and the air, cursing his father, mother, and ancestors as the Great Immortal Gu!
Ai Zexin nodded slightly, naturally understanding the meaning in the words: "Then I am not sure if you are here for Mo Chengfeng’s Mo Family matters, or if there are other issues?"
"You don’t know?" Gu Yu frowned and asked.
"Know what?" Ai Zexin looked bewildered.
Gu Yu raised an eyebrow, thinking that Ai Zexin, who ranks third in the Ai Family hierarchy, just as Mo Chengfeng described, truly has no status, being unaware of major events in the Martial Realm.
Then he proceeded to explain, "Turmoil in the Martial Realm, Dragon Spirit and Netherworld Hall have formed a strong alliance, successively striking various Hidden Sects and Hidden Families, and will have a final battle at the peak of Yudu in a few days. We came early because we received news that Dragon Spirit and Netherworld Hall plan to target the Ai Family shortly!"
"Ah?"
Ai Zexin’s expression changed dramatically: "This..."
But soon he revealed a bitter look: "Maybe Chengfeng has already told you, although I am considered part of the direct lineage in the family, I have no authority at all, such significant news, I didn’t know a thing."
"Uncle Ai, before coming we called your patriarch, but he seems to doubt the authenticity of the news. To avoid further losses in the Star Sea Martial Realm, we ask you to guide us, we wish to have a face-to-face discussion with the patriarch, even if no deployment, preparation is needed." Gu Yu bowed and said.
Ai Zexin hesitated for a moment and showed a difficult expression: "I can convey a message for you; whether my second brother will see you and talk to you, I really can’t guarantee."
"Not to make you laugh, although this is a Hidden Family that countless people dream of, within this vast family, there are ranks. Usually, I can speak a few words in this small courtyard, but within the whole family... no one listens to me."
Gu Yu’s eyes flickered: "Uncle Ai, I believe in matters of life and death, your second brother will listen to you. You are blood brothers after all!"
Listening to Gu Yu’s words, a strange color flashed in Ai Zexin’s eyes, then he smiled: "Hopefully, you guys sit here and have some tea, I’ll go ask."
"Alright." Gu Yu stood up and smiled: "May we look around your courtyard?"
"Sure." Ai Zexin said and then pushed the door and left.
Mo Chengfeng stood up and asked in confusion: "Why not let me ask about my aunt?"
"Obviously, your uncle is deliberately hiding something about your aunt, didn’t you see how he changed the topic directly?"
Gu Yu changed his tone: "But now he’s gone, we can look for your aunt, he mentioned that she holds a low status in the family, so presumably, she would only be in this small courtyard."
"Isn’t it bad to look around without permission?" Zhao Yi frowned.
Gu Yu’s mouth curled up: "When he went out, I told him we wanted to tour the courtyard."
Zhao Yi grinned, directly giving Gu Yu a thumbs up: "Uncle, I admire you!"
"Nephew, learn more from Uncle in the future." Gu Yu gave Zhao Yi a blank look and was the first to walk outside.
This courtyard wasn’t large, with three main rooms, and two wing rooms on each side.
Gu Yu said: "One person on each side, try not to make noise!"
"Is this really okay?" Mo Chengfeng was somewhat embarrassed.
"How about you stay here and Zhao and I search?" Gu Yu raised an eyebrow and said.
"Let’s do it together!"
After the words, Zhao Yi went to the west wing, Gu Yu to the east wing, while Mo Chengfeng searched inside the main room.
The two wings were quickly checked, with no sign of people. Zhao Yi and Gu Yu met in the courtyard and shook their heads, turning to look at Mo Chengfeng who had just walked out of the main room.
Mo Chengfeng shook his head: "No trace, not even in my uncle’s bedroom, and importantly, his bedroom has a single bed and no belongings of my aunt, as if she’s no longer in this family."
"Did they divorce?" Zhao Yi asked.
"No, my aunt and uncle love each other very much, when they married, neither family agreed, and they had to put in a lot of effort to be together." Mo Chengfeng said.
"Then there must be some secret!"
Gu Yu rubbed his chin: "Do you know your aunt’s birth date and eight characters?"
"I do." Mo Chengfeng’s eyes suddenly lit up, Gu Yu’s ability to divinate, if he helps to find, he definitely can.
He hurriedly walked over and said: "I remember aunt’s birth date because apart from the year, everything else, month, date, and time, is the same as mine."
"Such a coincidence!"
While being surprised, Gu Yu also started to calculate using the Star Constellation Scripture.
A moment later, Gu Yu frowned: "What a strange fate."
"What’s the matter?" Mo Chengfeng and Zhao Yi asked nervously.
"As if living in another world, autumn and winter days, looking left today, heaven extends life." Gu Yu said word by word.
"At this point, don’t be cryptic, quickly explain." Zhao Yi said angrily.
Gu Yu spread his hands: "This phrase is very simple to explain, ’as if living in another world, autumn and winter days’ means your aunt is still alive but critically ill."
"Ah!" Mo Chengfeng was instantly anxious.
Gu Yu held him: "Don’t worry, although critically ill, the latter half of the divination also says a benefactor will appear today to extend her life."
"Today? Benefactor?" Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow: "None of us three can heal, is it referring to Brother Zixuan? Could it be that Brother Zixuan will break through today?"
"Should be." Gu Yu heard footsteps outside and immediately said, "Alright, let’s listen to what your uncle says first, if he continues to conceal, then we expose the matter. As for the Martial Realm matters, let’s wait and hear from the Ai Family patriarch before discussing further."
