“Master, you must be tired. Rest in the side hall for a while, and you can decide when you want to leave after you’ve rested enough.”

With that, she beckoned for the young Taoist to come and take him to the resting place.

Master Jiuhua, who had witnessed Lu Miao’s persuasive skills, couldn’t help but feel a bit suspicious: Could she really not be deceiving him?

After arranging everything, Lu Miao glanced at Priest Lingxu once again.

Fortunately, she had prepared life-saving pills from the Starfall Herb ahead of time. She didn’t expect to use them so soon.

And it was fortunate that she still had half of the Starfall Herb left.

Even if she couldn’t cultivate more, it would be enough to refine another pill.

Lu Miao had set up a barrier in advance, so the outside world was unaware of the events that had occurred at the City God Temple.

In the top-floor conference room of the Gu family, a group of people were busy reporting their work.

Gu Shiyan glanced at his wristwatch, then tapped the table in front of him with his fingers. “That’s the end of today’s meeting. You may all leave.” After speaking, he got up and walked straight towards the door.

It was already time to go home for dinner, as school was over.

The people in the conference room exchanged glances. Their boss had really changed. The company had hardly had any overtime in the past two months.

Rumors were spreading that the boss was engaged. Could this be the change brought about by married life?

Gu Shiyan headed downstairs to his car.

Baili turned the steering wheel and headed towards the Lingyue Manor on his own accord.

Seeing the crowded new milk tea shop on the side of the road, Gu Shiyu spoke up, “Stop for a moment.”

Baili quickly stepped on the brake, but before Gu Shiyan could get out of the car, his phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

He reached in and answered the call, his brows furrowing involuntarily. “Understood.”

After hanging up, he glanced at the milk tea shop by the roadside and then turned to Baili. “Go back to the Gu manor.”

For some reason, Baili sensed a hint of regret and displeasure from his boss’s face.

He turned his head and looked outside the car window. The line at the milk tea shop had almost reached their car.

Could it be that his boss liked drinking milk tea?

Baili silently made a mental note and prepared to arrange a surprise for his boss next time.

At the Gu family’s residence.

A couple in their forties sat on the sofa in the living room.

Shen Qinghe picked up the tea on the table and handed it to the old lady before speaking, “Why do Mingzhe and sister-in -law came to find Ah Yan for this

time round?”

The woman smiled at Grandma Gu and said, “No, we just heard that Grandma had returned from the mountain, so we specifically came to pay her a visit. Whenever you have time, you should come to the capital. We will make sure you have a great time.”

Grandma Gu responded with a nonchalant “Hmm,” lowering her gaze to the tea in her hand, indicating that she had no intention of speaking further.

Bai Lu didn’t mind and smiled as she looked at Shen Qinghe beside her. “It’s been a long time since we came. I wonder how Ah Yan is doing now. I heard that he found some expert. Did they find a solution?”

“It’s the same as before. There’s no expert. If you know any, you can introduce them to us,” Shen Qinghe replied with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.

Gu Mingzhe was the nephew of the Grandpa Gu, a branch of the Gu family that had resided in the capital for a long time.

Although they couldn’t compare to the prominent families in the capital, they still had some reputation and influence under the Gu family’s name.

Due to the distance, the two families didn’t have much interaction on a regular basis.

Ever since news spread about Gu Shiyan’s health issues, they had been visiting more frequently these past few months. This was already their second visit.

Bai Lu’s heart skipped a beat, but she maintained her smile and said, “If Ah Yan couldn’t find them, how could we? We don’t know any experts.”

“Yeah,” Gu Mingzhe turned his head, looking around the room. “Where’s that girl from the Lu family? Why don’t we see her? Technically, we are also considered elders. When Ah Yan got engaged, we were unable to come back to the capital in time. This time, we brought a gift specifically to meet the future mistress of the Gu family.”

“In that case, let me thank you guys on behalf of Miao Miao,” Shen Qinghe replied with a smile.

Gu Mingzhe and Bai Lu immediately turned their gaze towards Grandma Gu. Grandma Gu remained calm and didn’t object.

The exchange of looks between the two indicated that Grandma Gu’s silence meant that she approved of Lu Miao becoming the future mistress of the Gu family.

In other words, Gu Shiyan’s health had improved significantly or they had indeed found a solution.

Otherwise, with Gu Ziheng, Gu Jinxi, and even the eldest brother who had disappeared without a trace, Grandma Gu would never agree to hand over the Gu family to an outsider named Lu.

“We should congratulate Ah Yan on finding a good match.”

Bai Lu smiled and pushed the prepared gift box from the table in front of her. “Ah Yan is busy, and they will probably take a while to come back. Perfect timing. I’ll take this opportunity to pay respects to our ancestors in the ancestral hall and ask for their blessings for our son, Sichen, to succeed in his career and find a good marriage.”

“Heh, yes, our son Sichen has been disappointing. He hasn’t accomplished anything so far, unlike Ah Yan, who is far ahead. It’s a good idea to pay our respects properly.” Gu Mingzhe chimed in with a smile.

Bai Lu stood up and was about to walk outside.

“Sister, it might not be convenient to visit the ancestral hall right now,” Shen Qinghe said.

Bai Lu’s hand on her side clenched suddenly, and she asked with concern,

“Why? Is there something wrong with the ancestral hall?”

Shen Qinghe smiled and replied, “You must have misunderstood. Xingyu has been misbehaving recently and made some mistakes. Grandma is punishing her by making her kneel in the ancestral hall for self-reflection.”

Bai Lu let out a sigh of relief and smiled, “That’s good then. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Xingyu. I was just thinking about her. I’ll go and see her.”

Although Shen Qinghe didn’t know what she meant exactly, Bai Lu’s insistence on visiting the ancestral hall on both occasions made her feel that something was amiss.

Gu Mingzhe and Bai Lu were not the type of couple who respected their ancestors and paid tribute to them.

They hadn’t come to pay respects even once in the past decade.

Shen Qinghe smiled calmly and said, “I’ll have someone go and call Xingyu. We can also tidy up the ancestral hall. Once it’s ready, Sister-in-law can go in for the visit.”

Since it had come to this, Bai Lu didn’t have much to say. She glanced at Gu

Mingzhe and sat down with a smile. “Sounds good.”

After a few more casual conversations, Gu Mingzhe said, “Since that’s the case, it’s getting late. Grandma must be tired. You should rest first, and Bai Lu and I will come again tomorrow.”

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps could be heard approaching from the entrance.

The steps were steady and powerful, and even before seeing the person, one could feel their strong presence.

The group turned their heads to look towards the entrance.

Gu Shiyan, with a handsome face devoid of expression, scanned the living room sofa where the two people were sitting. Although he didn’t say much, his faint gaze made Gu Mingzhe subconsciously stand up.

Anxiously, he greeted, “Ah Yan.”

Even he couldn’t explain why, but every time Gu Shiyan, regardless of his age or seniority, appeared, he couldn’t help but feel nervous..
