The small courtyard house was bought by Pei Yanning in order to bring Lingxi over. When Pei Yanning renovated the bedroom where Lingxi lives now, he added a bathroom and toilet, which is very convenient.
When Lingxi came back from washing up, Gu Si was drawing circles with a pen and paper. Next to him were two cups of milk that smelled sweet.
She went over, picked up a cup and warmed it in her hands, then leaned over and saw what was written on the paper. She fell silent for a moment.
It says--
Gods, immortals, ghosts, demons, monsters, and humans;
Cultivation, fantasy, magic, interstellar, martial arts...
There are some hooks and circles at the back.
Lingxi: “…”
"Hey, Fourth Brother, you..."
She was just about to tease her fourth brother. After all, before, her fourth brother was still a good boy who firmly believed in science. Now that he suddenly wrote this, she found it a little funny.
But unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her mouth, she saw not only Gu Si's handwriting on it, but also her biological father Pei Yanning's.
Lingxi was really surprised this time.
"Why are you and Dad thinking about this?"
Gu Si grabbed her wrist and asked her to look for herself, "Didn't you notice something extra on your hand?"
"Eh?"
Lingxi raised her hand and shook it. If Fourth Brother hadn’t said it just now, she really wouldn’t have noticed it.
She looked carefully at the braided rope bracelet with wooden beads on her wrist. The braided rope was made of a strange material, like some kind of leather. The wooden beads seemed ordinary and had no special features, but Lingxi still felt something was different.
She was a little surprised.
"Where did it come from?"
When she was washing up just now, she rolled up her sleeves, and she subconsciously ignored the extra thing on her wrist. This cannot be explained simply by a few words "not paying attention".
Gu Si raised his eyebrows: "Could it not be that my father and I made it for you?"
Lingxi: “…Oh.”
Guess whether I believe it or not!
As she examined it with her mind, she saw a faint glow on the braided rope, and the wooden beads were engraved with intricate array runes.
Although Lingxi was raised in the Immortal Heaven in her previous life, she only lived for a little over ten years old. Even because of the loss of her soul, it was already difficult for her to stay alive. She herself had not learned many cultivation methods in the spiritual world, which were mostly biased towards vitality and nourishment of the soul, not to mention elixirs, talismans, weapons and formations.
But with her limited knowledge, she knew that the formations and runes on it were extremely exquisite, and could never be found in this small world of the Dharma Ending Age.
Gu Si smiled and said, "Don't untie this bracelet. The beads are used to suppress luck, and the rope has also been specially treated to have defensive capabilities."
Hearing this, Lingxi's expression was filled with shock.
Is that what she was thinking?!
Gu Si nodded, "Yes, it's what you think."
It is also because of this thing that he can still sit here, and Pei Yanning can still have the mood to say a few perfunctory words to Xi Moxuan.
Lingxi was extremely surprised.
Anything that can suppress luck can be called a treasure.
She suddenly remembered what she had dreamed about before. Her fourth brother could unleash heavenly punishment with just a wave of his hand, and her father, the incarnation of the way of heaven, could shatter a small world with a wave of his hand. If you think about it this way, it seems reasonable that the two of them could come up with these things.
Lingxi took a sip from the cup and looked at her fourth brother carefully. It seemed that there was nothing different about him...
Seeing that Lingxi seemed to be getting more and more distracted, Gu Si quickly interrupted her and said with a smile, "Don't think about it, it was given by Xiao Sanzi."
"what?"
Ah! Who?
She was so shocked that she choked, coughed repeatedly, and tears came out.
Gu Si was startled for a moment, and quickly wiped her clean and calmed down.
"Slow down, why are you in such a hurry?"
Lingxi glanced at him with resentment, then sat up straight again, "Why don't you hide, little Sanzi?"
It's not surprising at all that Ye Baobao can take out this thing.
Gu Si: “…” “It’s because I’m worried about you.” Gu Si smiled.
After Lingxi fell asleep last night, Gu Si and Pei Yanning discussed what to do next.
In front of Lingxi, they both acted as if everything was fine and that there was no big problem, but in reality they were still worried in their hearts.
Indeed, according to the information they had obtained, the so-called red rope only worked on Xi Moxuan, but this was also what others said. As it was an unknown thing, Pei Yanning and Gu Si remained skeptical from beginning to end.
Fortunately, they had already found a way to find Xuanming Jueyuan through the old man's people.
Compared to the messy people outside, Gu Si trusts his former subordinates more, and Pei Yanning trusts Gu Si.
Therefore, the two of them decided to wait patiently until Xuanming Jueyuan came over to take a look at the situation.
Moreover, we are not sure who is behind this. If it happens this time, there is no guarantee that it will happen again.
Preventing trouble before it happens is their style.
They already had some knowledge of the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams, medicine, divination, and astrology, so it wouldn't be impossible for them to add a course on Taoism now.
Lingxi almost choked again when she heard this.
It’s really convenient to learn this by the way.
But think about these two, Gu Si's existence cannot be measured by common sense, and Pei Yanning had previously led people up mountains and down rivers, and visited various secret rooms, ancient tombs, secret passages and underground cities, and it was always like visiting his own backyard.
But this was not what Pei Yanning studied seriously back then...
He has the confidence to say this.
Gu Si took her cup and drank the rest in one gulp.
"They don't need this. If you choke for a while, the three little ones won't choke on the milk."
Lingxi: “…”
She rolled her eyes and said, "Don't you even look at what you just said?"
Gu Si smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll continue to tell you. Do you want to listen?"
Hmm, hmm, hmm, Lingxi nodded and listened.
Gu Si chuckled and continued the previous topic.
Neither the father-in-law nor the son-in-law were the type to sit and wait for death, and they planned to collect some relevant information. At this moment, they suddenly felt a strange and immature mental force appear in the room.
It was none other than Ye baby who was just over one year old.
This bracelet was taken out by Xiao Sanzi.
Lingxi took the cup again and saw that it was empty. Then she remembered what her fourth brother had just done and simply snuggled into his arms.
Obviously, something is a bit awkward.
Gu Si stroked her hair and smiled.
"No matter what his identity was before, he is your son now. He calls me father and is honest this time because he is worried about you."
Lingxi snorted.
Of course she knew that it was her own child.
but--
"I asked him and he played dumb with me."
Gu Si knew what was bothering her.
"Our Lingxi is the best, so why would he bother with such a little brat? Besides, think about it, he took care of you before, and now you take care of him. Isn't it fair? Because of you, dad and I love and pamper the brats. In the end, he still wins."
Eh?
Can you still think like that?
Lingxi was confused by her fourth brother's strange train of thought and instantly felt that it seemed quite reasonable.
God damn reasonable.
She had only heard that a daughter was her father's lover in the previous life, but had never heard that a son was his mother's father in the previous life.
Lingxi muttered, "How can he be so shameless as to be an old monster who has lived for who knows how many thousands of years!"
Gu Si hugged Ling Xi and laughed: "It's a good deal, think about his generation, you are a generation older than him, and when you go out in the future, everyone will have to call you ancestor." (End of this chapter)
