Gu Xiqiao got up from the bed and looked out the window, following Xiao Yun’s gaze.
A black car was stopped outside the mansion, and a slightly chubby man emerged from it. He wasn’t tall and was somewhat bloated, and he had an honest smile on his face. At first glance, he seemed like a good person, but there was something off about him.
Gu Xiqiao rubbed her chin thoughtfully.
Those that had learned martial arts all knew The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, and according to this medical book, ‘As long as the righteous chi flows, all that is evil shall never violate’.
It seemed like a simple sentence, but it had great knowledge involved behind it. Essence nurtures chi, chi nurtures the spirit, the spirit nurtures essence, and it all forms a cycle. Hence, everyone that learns martial arts would also practice their virtue. If a person performed bad deeds, evil chi would permeate them and cause their chi to be polluted, making it twisted.
This was also the deciding difference between regular and demonic cultivators too.
“He’s a distant uncle of mine who moved to our city after my parents died…Somehow, he makes me feel like he’s up to no good.” Xiao Yun pursed her lips as she glared at the man downstairs, before closing her eyes helplessly. “But my brother and grandfather both trust him, and he’s holding more and more power in our company…”
Gu Xiqiao patted her shoulders comfortingly. “It’s alright, let’s go downstairs and have a look?”
As she was pat by Gu Xiqiao, Xiao Yun felt a cool stream of energy enter through her palms and flow around her entire body, freshening her up immediately.
Downstairs, Xiao Yun’s uncle Xiao Ming’an was talking with Grandpa Xiao, while the butler holding a precious-looking vase in his hands.
[Ding! Daily Mission activated: Help Xiao Yun appraise the Yuan Dynasty vase.]
[Mission completion reward: 10 points]
A system notification rang out in Gu Xiqiao’s head, making her glance at the vase passingly as she followed behind Xiao Yun.
“Yun has become even prettier.” Xiao Ming’an looked at Xiao Yun and chuckled.
Xiao Yun returned his gaze with a cold one and wanted to say something, before Gu Xiqiao sent a glance at her, calming her down and stopping her from speaking out.
Xiao Sheng had been worried that Xiao Yun wouldn’t be able to keep down her temper, but seeing that she did, he breathed a sigh of relief. “Grandpa Butler, place this vase into Grandfather’s bedroom and prepare lunch, please.”
The butler nodded, and was about to go upstairs when Gu Xiqiao suddenly said, “This is quite a pretty vase.”
“Young lady, you have quite the eye! This is a Yuan Dynasty blue-and-white porcelain vase that has just been dug up, and I bought it at quite a high price. I even asked a monk to bless it, and worshiped it for forty-nine days, hoping it will bring health and prosperity.” Xiao Ming’an replied.
“It had just been dug up? And it’s been worshiped for forty-nine days?” Gu Xiqiao’s eyes brightened and took over the vase from the butler. “…Did you see it get dug up yourself?”
Xiao Ming’an’s smile didn’t falter in the least. “Of course.”
“Is that so.” Gu Xiqiao caressed the vase gently and squinted slightly. “This blue-and-white porcelain vase is quite sturdy, and there are four tiers at the base, and was connected at the base, the hip, and the neck of the vase. There are red spots on the rough base, the neck of the vase is curved fluidly, and its shape is round, without any knife marks… It does look like the real deal, doesn’t it?”
