The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 161: Dedicated to the Tao

After much persuasion from the three brothers, using both value and reason, Gu Qingyin reluctantly gave up the idea of continuing to learn cooking.

After the birthday, the weather gradually became warmer, and Gu Qingyin took some time to go see Guoguo.

Shortly after the New Year, Guoguo went to school.

In order to make it convenient for him to go to and from school, Huo Xinghai bought a house near the school, and Guoguo usually lived there with an aunt from the Hua family.

For her safety, Maomao also went with her, and a doctor from the Chen family also lived with them.

Gu Qingyin took the family car to the school gate to wait for Guoguo to finish school. Like most parents, she got out of the car and waited at the school gate, craning her neck to look inside the school.

Until the teachers led the students out for the rest of the school day, Gu Qingyin followed the other parents and swarmed to the front. When she saw Guoguo, she smiled and waved her hands vigorously.

When Guoguo saw her, his eyes lit up and he jumped twice with joy.

"Children who see their parents, please stand still and raise your hands, and wait for the teacher to come over and high-five you. Only after high-five can you leave."

Guoguo couldn't wait to raise her hand. After the teacher high-fived her, she nimbly jumped out of the crowd and threw herself on Gu Qingyin, "Grandma!"

The voice was so sweet and crisp that it attracted the parents around to look over in confusion. Is this grandma?
Gu Qingyin ignored others and picked up Guoguo and walked out.

"Is school interesting?" Gu Qingyin asked.

Guo Guo nodded with a smile, "Well, I have made a lot of friends! Today a friend invited me to his birthday party, can I go?"

Of course Gu Qingyin would not object, "Go if you want to, but remember to prepare a birthday present."

"What should I prepare..."

While chatting, the adult and the child got into the car and continued chatting.

Talk about life in school, study, and Huo Xinghai’s recent schedule.

"I miss Uncle Xinghai." Guoguo felt a little disappointed. She hadn't seen Huo Xinghai for a long time since she went to school.

Gu Qingyin touched her head and promised: "Study hard first. If you do well in the final exam, I will take you to visit Uncle Xinghai's class, okay?"

Guo Guo's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Gu Qingyin stretched out her finger and made a pinky promise with her, "It's a deal!"

After having dinner with Guoguo, Gu Qingyin left. She was going back to pack her luggage and set off for Wudang Mountain tomorrow.

The competition between Wudang Mountain and Longhua Temple was held in Wudang Mountain this year, and she was invited to be a judge.

When she first got the news, Gu Qingyin was completely confused. Who was she and why was she allowed to be a judge?
Later, it was Master Zhang, Liu Ergou's uncle and the person who had the final say over the entire Wudang Mountain, who explained it to her in person.

Gu Qingyin then realized that this competition was different from previous ones. In order to ensure absolute fairness and justice, Wudang Mountain and Longhua Temple would each provide one judge, and Xuan Association would provide two judges, and the last judge would be from the public.

It just so happened that Gu Qingyin had shown her strength in the Xuan Association before, and now she was not affiliated with any force, so it was natural for her to be the civilian judge.

Gu Qingyin accepted the invitation without much hesitation.

Although there is no pay, it can help to increase your visibility and maybe you can get big orders in the future.

The next morning at ten o'clock, Gu Qingyin boarded the plane and landed just after half past twelve. Liu Ergou was waiting outside the airport. After getting on the car, Liu Ergou did not mention the competition, but gloated about the misfortune of the Dongfang family.

The Dongfang family, Dongfang Ran's family, is a traditional family of heavenly masters. It was considered a prominent family a hundred years ago, but has now declined.

There are only thirty people in the whole family, and less than one-third of them are still practicing the mysterious arts. Dongfang Ran is the most talented cultivator in the Dongfang family in the past hundred years.

Unfortunately, he went astray and caused his family to be investigated from head to toe by the Xuan Association.

After checking, we actually found the problem.

Including Dongfang Ran, among the eight cultivators in the Dongfang family, more than half of them specialized in practicing evil ways.

But unlike the evil spirit displayed by Dongfang Ran, the rest of the Dongfang family used the blood method to practice, that is, to purify the blood of other people in the Dongfang family, and refine and absorb it with special secret methods to improve their own cultivation talents.

That is to say, sacrifice others to fulfill oneself, because they are blood relatives. Although this method is very evil, it has no side effects.

At the beginning, the people of the Dongfang family only drew a small amount of blood. Later, the appetites of several monks grew bigger and bigger, and they imprisoned many people as blood slaves.

When Xuan Xie found those people, most of them were half-dead. They were later sent to the hospital, and although they were all saved, they had permanent damage to various parts of their bodies due to long-term lack of blood, and their lifespans were greatly shortened.

This incident caused a stir in the entire metaphysical world.

Xuanxie started a thorough investigation, and all the families and sects felt a bit nervous. After all, if you really investigated carefully, no family was 100% clean.

Gu Qingyin listened and clicked her tongue. These families that were once so prosperous would do anything to preserve the glory of their ancestors.

Seeing that she was willing to listen, Liu Ergou became more interested in gossip. He adjusted his sitting position and unconsciously moved closer to Gu Qingyin. As a result, when he turned his head, his face almost touched Huo Yunjing's!
"Wow!" Liu Ergou was startled and instinctively leaned back, almost falling off his seat.

Huo Yunjing stared at him unkindly and said in a cold voice: "Stay away from my wife." As he spoke, he raised his hand and shook it, and the wedding ring on his ring finger was particularly obvious.

Liu Ergou was stunned and didn't understand what it meant.

It was not until Gu Qingyin, who was blocked behind Huo Yunjing, reached out and pushed Huo Yunjing aside that he realized that Gu Qingyin was also wearing the same ring on her ring finger.

"Are you married?" Liu Ergou felt something was wrong after asking, so he asked again, "Are you married again?"

Gu Qingyin looked at Huo Yunjing helplessly, then nodded with a smile, "Yes, ghost marriage."

Liu Ergou smiled and said, "Congratulations." He looked at Huo Yunjing and said sincerely, "It's not easy to be together despite being separated by Yin and Yang. Cherish it."

Huo Yunjing narrowed his eyes and snorted, "Does it take your reminder?"

Gu Qingyin clicked her tongue, raised her hand and slapped him, and scolded him, "Speak properly."

Huo Yunjing choked and said thank you dryly.

Liu Ergou smiled indifferently. When he knew that Gu Qingyin had a son, he decided to let it go. Now that he knew that Gu Qingyin had a ghost marriage, the last bit of concern in his heart was gone.

To make Gu Qingyin willing to enter into a ghost marriage, he must really love her.

After all, Gu Qingyin used to hate ghosts like a traitor. When she saw a ghost, she either wanted to get rid of it or to save its soul.

Liu Ergou smiled and decided that in the future, he would definitely be able to do what his master said and devote himself to the Tao.
