Chapter 133 How Many Good Fathers Do You Actually Have?
Gu Ye reluctantly took off his shoes, stepped on Xie Cheng’s shoulders, and was helped to his feet by Ling Ling. Upon seeing the contents of the box, Gu Ye exclaimed happily, “We’ve really struck it rich! This gem alone is worth a fortune!”
Xie Cheng reminded Gu Ye, “Only if you can get it out. What kind of talisman is that?”
Hearing that, Gu Ye looked at the talismans in the box. “Luckily, you didn’t touch it. Touching this talisman is fatal.”
Xie Cheng said, “Then be careful.”
“It’s okay.” Gu Ye smirked. “If it won’t let me touch it, I’ll just strike it down.”
Gu Ye made a hand seal, “Receive my Five Thunder Orthodox Attack. With its power and might, divine light shines in myriad rays, purifying evil and wickedness, BREAK!”
Like a thunderclap from a clear sky, Xie Cheng felt a blinding purple light, followed by a deafening rumble of thunder overhead, causing the lights above him to sway.
Xie Cheng cursed, “Gu Ye, you lunatic! That’s a Taoist secret technique; it can kill people! You dare to use it at such close range? You’re friggin asking for death, don’t drag me down with you!”
Gu Ye only grabbed a handful of his permed bangs and calmly said, “I controlled it perfectly. It all hit only the talisman, don’t be afraid.”
But Xie Cheng just wanted to curse, “I’m breaking up with you! You’ll kill me sooner or later!”
Gu Ye tore off the charred talisman and picked up the dagger. It was heavy, an antique, and its perfect preservation meant it was obviously very valuable.
“Don’t be like that! We got the treasure! Quick, put me down!”
Xie Cheng just wanted to throw Gu Ye out. With a dark face, he put Gu Ye down. Then he shone the flashlight on the dagger, and immediately fell in love. “So cool!”
“This dagger definitely belonged to an ancient general. Judging by the bloodthirsty aura, it was carried by a general who fought many battles. It can suppress evil with its killing aura,” Gu Ye said with a smile. “I think you also need a close-combat weapon. You can take it.”
Xie Cheng was stunned. “You’re giving it to me?”
“Yes, I can use talismans. I’m not good at combat fighting.”
Xie Cheng loved it dearly, but felt it was too precious and embarrassed to take it all to himself. “No, you keep it. I’m too poor to keep it anyway.”
“Don’t associate it with money. Use it as a weapon, and you can keep it.” Gu Ye patted Xie Cheng on the shoulder with a smile. “This is for you. Everything else we find in this matter is mine, okay?”
“You can find more?”
“Yes.”
“Then I’ll take this one.” Just as Xie Cheng was getting excited, Gu Ye said, “Then the remaining 4 are all mine.”
Xie Cheng’s eyes widened. “4?”
Gu Ye explained with a wicked grin, “This is a Yin-Gathering Array, similar to ‘Five Ghosts Carrying a Coffin.’ ‘Five Ghosts Carrying a Coffin’ refers to 5 little ghosts carrying wealth from other places, but this array is larger and more powerful, utilizing Yin energy. The array gathers the surrounding Yin energy here, making it increasingly dense. The little ghosts, sensing this, are drawn here and can no longer escape. The ghosts act like an engine, constantly generating Yin energy, making the array stronger and stronger. Choosing this location must be because it was once a mass grave, inherently possessing immense Yin energy. To be able to lock down the Yin energy here, the person who chose this spot is quite capable.”
Xie Cheng was stunned. “Using Yin energy to carry wealth? Ah! I remember it now. My master told me about that.”
Gu Ye nodded. “Yes, the developer from before was definitely not a good person. He’s been using this hospital. Let’s go upstairs. I need to call my brother.”
Once on the ground, the two looked at the dagger again, its murderous aura even stronger. Xie Cheng touched it with obvious delight, completely unconcerned about the other 4 array cores (that GY mentioned).
Seeing this, Gu Ye smiled. This was the center of the array; placing the dagger here meant it was truly a treasure. Other array points might also exist, but no matter what treasures were placed there, none could compare to this one. It was fate that the dagger suited Xie Cheng and that he liked it as well.
While Xie Cheng was waving the dagger around, Gu Ye called his brother, asking, “Who owned this area before?”
Upon hearing this, Xie Cheng stopped playing around and quickly came over to listen. Gu Ye put it on speakerphone.
Before buying land, they would definitely conduct thorough research, so Gu Sen knew all about it. “The developer is Qunyu Construction Company. If the first generation were alive, they wouldn’t be much older than our father. He was a very successful entrepreneur, but unfortunately, he died young. No one in charge of the family lived past 45. The current chairman is the 3rd generation. The 2nd generation died last year, and his son, only 5 years old, is powerless to fight for power. So the 2nd generation’s younger brother has taken over the business. Since he took over, the company has declined rapidly and is now on the verge of bankruptcy. The land Yu Ze bought was their company’s original headquarters; they’ve moved out of the capital.”
“Pfft! Using something so sinister, it’s strange they live so long. The family made money, but they’re almost all dead.” Xie Cheng really couldn’t understand why they would do this for money.
Gu Ye chuckled, “They didn’t make much money actually. And now it’s almost bankrupt, isn’t it?”
Still clutching his dagger, Xie Cheng said, “There must be something wrong with this array.”
Gu Ye thought for a moment, realizing there was no way to pinpoint the other array’s key points. “Brother, I want to go aerial tomorrow. I think there’s something wrong with these buildings.”
Gu Ye didn’t tell Gu Sen about the array or the Yin energy, and Gu Sen didn’t ask. He simply gave his brother what he wanted. “Is a helicopter okay?”
“Sure.”
“One for each of you?”
Gu Ye was both amused and exasperated at the offer. “No need, brother, one is enough. I’ll go up and check the terrain.”
Gu Sen said gently, “Okay, is it safe?”
“It’s okay, don’t worry. I don’t do anything risky.”
Gu Sen was relieved. “The secretary hasn’t come back yet as he’s waiting for you at the hotel. I’ll have him pick you up now, and the helicopter will take you there tomorrow.”
After hanging up, Xie Cheng asked with a complicated expression, “How many helicopters does your family own?”
Gu Ye did the math, “As far as I know, my dad has one, Yu Ze has one, my eldest brother has one, I don’t know if my second brother has one, but he owns a racing team. He’s the boss; the team makes money for him.”
The list made Xie Cheng clutch his chest. Feeling heartbroken, he muttered, “I just need to eat, I don’t need money.”
Gu Ye grinned mischievously, “Continue this brainwashing, you’re really good at this.”
The next day, Gu Ye looked at the terrain from the helicopter and, sure enough, noticed something was wrong.
Around this hospital, several buildings are not positioned neatly among the others. Judging by the pattern, the building in the northeast corner, which should have been the focal point, has already been demolished; it was on the land Yu Ze bought. Gu Ye immediately realized that the Yin-Gathering Array’s core was a building, which explained why something seemed off.
Back home, Gu Ye showed the aerial photograph to Gu Sen. “Brother, when was this building demolished?”
Gu Sen said calmly, “We didn’t demolish it; the original group did. After they demolished it, they were too busy to deal with it properly, so it’s been like this ever since.”
Watching from the side, Xie Cheng also noticed the problem and was amused. “Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. They’ve destroyed the very foundation of the array. Originally, the father wanted to pass it on to his son, and the 2nd generation also wanted to pass it on to his son, but he died young, and his younger brother snatched it away. The 2nd generation certainly didn’t say anything to his brother when he died.”
Gu Ye also laughed, pointing to several buildings that served as the core of the array. “Brother, demolish these buildings first.”
Hearing that, the secretary quickly circled them on the backup map. Gu Sen nodded. “Okay.”
The secretary understood that their boss would listen; he was a deeply doting big brother. The second young master (Gu Lin) was already a successful chairman, yet their boss still bought his younger brother soda.
Gu Ye instructed, “After demolishing it, expose the site to the sun for half a month before demolishing the hospital. That way, there won’t be any problems.”
Xie Cheng nodded, “After the demolition, the hospital will lack Yin energy. All those people will then reincarnate, so no one will be watching anymore.”
“By the way, we can’t demolish it tonight. Tonight, we’re going to dig for treasure.”
“Right!”
Gu Sen said gently, “Alright, this area is yours anyway. Do whatever you want with it.”
Grinning from ear to ear, Gu Ye tugged at his older brother’s sleeve and asked with a smile, “Brother, are you really giving it to me?”
Gu Sen was amused, “Little rascal, it’s real. You can do whatever you want with it. All the money from selling it is yours. Let’s see how much you can make.”
Gu Ye said happily, “Big brother, I really will make a fortune! I’ll give you a huge wedding gift when you get married.”
Gu Sen chuckled, “Just don’t cause me any trouble. When you’re making any commotion, don’t cause any trouble. If you do cause trouble, don’t be afraid, just tell me. Don’t mess around with your second brother.”
“Okay!” Gu Ye solemnly assured him, “I’ll definitely tell you.”
Gu Sen sighed, hoping to hear a promise not to cause trouble (instead of promising to tell him about it).
“Big Brother, this whole area is a commercial street, right?”
“Yes.”
Gu Ye smiled and said, “Leave me a shop in the most bustling part, don’t sell them all.”
Gu Sen asked, puzzled, “What do you need a shop for?”
Gu Ye replied seriously, “I’ve found myself a godfather.”
“Old Master Yu?”
“No.”
Hearing that, Big Brother Gu’s expression immediately turned cold. “When? Why do you have so many fathers?”
Gu Ye quickly reassured him, “Don’t worry, it’s not just anyone.”
Gu Sen frowned. “I know him too?”
Gu Ye nodded obediently. “Yes.”
“Who?”
“The King of Hell.”
Big Brother Gu took a deep breath. He picked up a book from the table and was about to slap the brat. “Are you kidding me?”
“Big Brother, calm down!” Gu Ye suddenly jumped back a good distance, hiding behind Xie Cheng. “I’m kidding, I’m serious!”
Gu Sen said helplessly, “How can you be so unreliable!”
Gu Ye, sounding aggrieved, said, “I’m really serious! For my godfather, I’m buying the best location shop.”
With his expression still cold, Gu Sen asked, “And then?”
Gu Ye replied earnestly, “After I graduate, I’m going to open a temple.”
“What kind of temple?”
“The Temple of the King of Hell.”
Gu Sen slammed the book on the table in annoyance and stood up. Startled, Gu Ye grabbed Xie Cheng and ran. Unexpectedly, they bumped into Gu Decheng, who had come to the company for a visit.
Papa Gu asked with an unfriendly expression, “You found another father?”
Gu Ye: “Dad, let me explain.”
Papa Gu grabbed Gu Ye by the back of his collar and pulled him back, angrily saying, “You brat! You already have two fathers, isn’t that enough?! How many more fathers do you want?!”
The author has something to say:
Papa Gu: I’ll beat you to death, you brat!
Gu Ye: You’re the real dad, your position is the official one! All the treasures I dig up tonight are for you! Please, don’t, hit me!
