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

Chapter 199 The Gap Between Father and Son
After all, it was a competition, so Gu Ziqian and Huo Yunjing stopped when they knew each other's strength.

The three brothers who were watching the fight were still not satisfied, while Gu Qingyin felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off a heavy burden. If they continued fighting, it would be difficult to end the fight.

Gu Ziqian gave Huo Yunjing a critical look and said, "Not bad, barely worthy of being my apprentice."

Huo Yunjing smiled good-temperedly.

Gu Ziqian turned his head and glanced at Gu Qingyin, and his figure slowly disappeared from the spot.

Gu Qingyin snorted and turned around to instruct Huo Xingchen to dismantle the formation. Of course, her original intention was definitely not to be lazy, but to teach her son how to form a formation.

When I turned around, where was the person?
At this time, Huo Xingchen had already run to the door of the room upstairs where Gu Ziqian was enshrined.

He knocked on the door cautiously, "Master?"

The room was quiet. Huo Xingchen knocked on the door again, but there was still no response. He was really anxious, so he hesitated for two seconds and gently pushed the door open.

"Tsk." A dissatisfied voice came from inside the house, "No response means rejection, don't you understand this little truth?"

Huo Xingchen smiled awkwardly, but still walked in firmly and asked, "Grandmaster, can you teach me the ghost talisman you just used?"

Gu Ziqian appeared and looked him up and down with a gentle gaze, "Excuse me, but with your aptitude, you probably can't learn it."

Huo Xingchen's face fell for a moment, but he quickly cheered up and asked without giving up: "Then... do you have any simpler talismans that you can teach me?"

Gu Ziqian couldn't help laughing, "Why should I teach you?"

"I am your disciple!" Huo Xingchen said confidently, "If I am too weak and get laughed at, it will be you and my mother who will be embarrassed."

Gu Ziqian didn't care, but after all, he was Gu Qingyin's child, so he wasn't so stingy as to not even give him a gift. He flicked his fingers slightly, and a little light shone into Huo Xingchen's brows.

"You can't learn ghost talismans, but you can study these advanced talismans." Gu Ziqian said calmly: "As long as you can digest them all, it won't be a problem for you to become a master of talismans."

Huo Xingchen's eyes lit up, and he knelt down on the spot in excitement and kowtowed to Gu Ziqian.

"Thank you, Master!"

Gu Ziqian waved his hand, "Go out, don't come again."

Huo Xingchen immediately stood up and stepped back, "Then I will not disturb you, Master. You should have a good rest."

As soon as he went downstairs, Huo Xingchen ran into his two brothers who came back together.

Huo Xinghai tilted his head to look at him, "What are you doing sneaking around? Mom just asked you to dismantle the formation."

Huo Xingchen quickened his pace, "I'll go now!"

Huo Xinghai was a little surprised, "He took the wrong medicine, but he didn't say anything back?"

Huo Xingye also felt a little strange. He shook his head and said, "Don't worry. Nothing can be hidden from Mom's eyes."

Huo Xinghai thought so too. He yawned and said, "I'll get up early and go back tomorrow. I'm going to sleep first."

Huo Xingye frowned and advised: "Don't schedule too much, take a break when you need to."

Huo Xinghai turned his back to him and waved his hands, "I know, you too."

In the backyard, Huo Xingchen ran over, "Mom! I'm back!"

Gu Qingyin had almost dismantled the formation. She turned around and was about to scold him, but her eyes fell on Huo Xingchen's eyebrows and she couldn't help but smile, "You know how to seize opportunities."

Huo Xingchen chuckled.

Gu Qingyin raised her chin and said, "You are not needed here. Go back and study. Take it step by step. Don't dwell on it."

"Okay!" Huo Xingchen responded and ran back to his room like a gust of wind, eager to check the extra talisman knowledge in his mind. The first time, he only read it roughly from beginning to end. The more he read, the more unfathomable it seemed. At the beginning, he could understand it, but then he didn't understand it very well. Not only was he confused by the end, but he also began to doubt what he had learned before.

At this time, Huo Xingchen suddenly reacted and realized that with his current level, he should just study those simple talismans honestly, otherwise it would be too easy to get lost.

"No wonder mom told me not to dwell on this..."

Huo Xingchen took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, blocked out the second half, and only looked at the talismans in the front, studying them bit by bit, striving to thoroughly understand each one.

Time passed little by little, and suddenly someone knocked on the door.

Huo Xingchen suddenly came back to his senses and found that it was already dawn. He had actually been sitting like this all night.

After Huo Xingchen realized what was happening, he felt like crying but had no tears. The key point was that he had spent a whole night but still hadn't figured out how to use a talisman.

Shameful, so shameful!
"Xingchen, it's time for breakfast." Gu Qingyin knocked on the door again. "After breakfast, I'm going to the company with your brother. Do you want to come with us?"

Huo Xingchen's heart moved when he heard this, and he said loudly: "Yes! I'll be down right away!"

The reason we went there today is probably to resolve the peach blossom problem. This scene is not common and we definitely can’t miss it!
When Huo Xingchen went downstairs, Huo Xinghai had already left. He had to rush back to do his makeup and record the show.

Gu Qingyin and Huo Xingye also finished their meal. They each had a cup of coffee, one reading financial news and the other watching mindless variety shows. They lived in peace and tranquility.

Huo Xingchen smiled, walked over, pulled out a chair, sat down and started eating.

He didn't get enough rest for the whole night, so his complexion naturally didn't look very good. In addition, his skin was fair, so his dark circles were particularly obvious.

Gu Qingyin glanced at him and frowned, "Stay up all night to study talismans?"

Huo Xingchen had a crab roe bun stuffed in his mouth and could only nod in agreement.

"I know you are anxious to learn, but this is not something that can be done overnight. Only by taking a proper amount of time and effort can you achieve twice the result with half the effort." Gu Qingyin advised earnestly, "Try not to stay up late in the future."

Huo Xingchen swallowed the bun in his mouth and nodded obediently, "It was my first day and I had no experience. I got so into it that it was already dawn before I knew it. I won't do that again in the future."

Gu Qingyin nodded with satisfaction and continued watching the variety show.

After a while, Huo Yunjing came down from the stairs and changed his clothes.

In the past, he always wore a black shirt and black trousers, but today he suddenly wore a white one, which was quite eye-catching and seemed like he had reached a new level of handsomeness.

Huo Yunjing went into seclusion after sparring with Gu Ziqian last night, but unlike Huo Xingchen, he gained a lot from this evening and was in high spirits.

"Why did you think of changing clothes?" Gu Qingyin had been staring at Huo Yunjing since he appeared, and she only asked when he walked to the dining table.

Huo Yunjing smiled and said, "Why? Doesn't it look good?"

Gu Qingyin shook her head, "It's just a feeling..."

"More like a human." Huo Xingye interjected.

He was afraid of ghosts, and had an almost instinctive intuition about the difference between humans and ghosts. In the past, although his father looked very human, he still gave him a spooky feeling, but today he felt... a little warmer?
"That's right!" Gu Qingyin slammed the table, "You have some color on your face!"

Huo Xingye and Huo Xingchen looked over together, carefully examined Huo Yunjing's expression, and then revealed a look of surprise.

Huo Xingchen asked foolishly: "Dad, are you going to come back to life?"

Huo Yunjing sat down next to Gu Qingyin and glared at him. "I just got a little inspiration from Senior Gu's ghost talisman and did a better job of disguise."

Huo Xingchen still looked impressed, "That's also amazing."

Think about him, and then think about his father, this is the difference, alas!
Huo Yunjing: "...eat quickly."
