Chapter 45 President Yu can’t do it? Part 2

Military training means that the freshmen are looking forward to the rain, while the sophomores are also looking forward to the special day of rain due to different reasons. The freshmen feel that there is no need to continue training if it rains, and the sophomores are all looking forward to seeing them getting drenched (because the training won’t stop just because it rains).

However, after half a month of hard training, God is not merciful at all. Not a drop of rain fell, and the freshman was reduced to a pile of briquettes wrapped in camo attires.

Gu Ye is an exception in this pile of briquettes. Comparative photos of him before and after military training were posted on the Internet. The editor raised his voice and wailed: [He was not lazy for a minute from the beginning to the end of the training. But he didn’t get dark! Not dark at all!!]

Netizens shouted happily: [Ah ah ah, my boyfriend is so handsome!]

[My boyfriend is a man who rides on a white horse with sunshine and rainbow and conquers the universe anytime. The sun is nothing. It would be a weird thing instead if he got tanned! @Gu Ye]

[Aiya! During their military training, we held parasols and formed a group to eat popsicles and drink soda every day to watch them. In the end, he didn’t get tanned but I did. @Gu Ye, this senior sister’s future, decide what to do with the rest of my life!]

[Hahaha, the one next to him is his good friends, right? Their skin colors were not that different before, but now, hahaha, one became a boiled egg while the other became a braised egg! @Gu Ye]

…

Gu Ye found that many people were tagging him and took a look at it on Weibo. Speechless, he posted: [When did I leave singlehood? When did I reach 60,000 followers? How come I don’t know?]

Fan: [It’s not important. What’s important is why you can’t get tanned?]

Gu Ye was speechless, how did he know? He is not a medical student! At this moment, Gu Ye received a private message: [Master Gu, help me! Something is trying to kill me! Something is really trying to kill me!]

Gu Ye calmly replied: [Don’t worry, send a selfie, show your whole face, don’t use filters.]

The other party quickly sent him a photo. The photo showed a middle-aged man with a yellowish complexion and a tired look on his face.

Gu Ye frowned after looking at the photo: [Your Tiancang point is black, while a green aura covers the corner of your mouth. This is a face of someone destined to die. Fortunately, there is white in the green, you can still be saved. However, you are indeed in trouble.]

The other person broke down and wrote: [I have been very unlucky recently. There are people walking around in the house in the middle of the night, and there are often strange noises. There are bruised fingerprints on my neck from being strangled. When I was sleeping, someone pushed me out of bed, causing me to bump my head and I was bruised and bloody. Someone wants to kill me, really wants to kill me! I asked many people for help, but they didn’t believe it, and neither did the police. I had no choice!]

Gu Ye: [How much money do you make in a month?]

The man: [Up to 6,000 yuan.]

Gu Ye: [Give me a month’s salary and I’ll rescue you now. Leave your address and also reimburse me for the round trip fare.]

After writing down the address and logging out of Weibo, Gu Ye sent a message to Xie Cheng: [I have a deal of 3,000 yuan that I want to do with you. The location is on the Fifth Ring Road of the Imperial Capital. Are you coming?]

Xie Cheng replied instantly: [Coming! My good friend, please carry this teammate!!]

Gu Ye was amused and decided on the meeting place with Xie Cheng. He should set off now. If he is too late, the man will die.

When Gu Ye arrived at the agreed address, Xie Cheng had already arrived. He was standing under the streetlight with a backpack on his back. His yellow hair had been dyed back to black. He was wearing a black round-neck T-shirt, jeans, and white sneakers. Just like a rule-abiding baby, he suddenly looks several years younger.

When he saw Gu Ye getting out of the taxi, Xie Cheng waved cheerfully, “I say, taking a taxi is worse than taking the subway. Rich people are usually stuck in traffic jams.”

Gu Ye laughed and didn’t dwell too much on this issue. He asked Xie Cheng curiously, “Why are you dressed so… well-mannered?”

When Gu Ye mentioned this, Xie Cheng broke down and covered his face, saying with tearless eyes, “My master said that my yellow hair doesn’t look serious. If I don’t make myself look presentable, I will be shaved bald.”

“Hahaha~~” Gu Ye imagined Xie Cheng becoming bald and couldn’t help laughing. Xie Cheng was already too tired to speak.

…

This community apartment looks a bit old, and the distance between the buildings inside is not large. The doormen at the door are all uncles, and they all sit in the guard room drinking tea and chatting. Seeing Gu Ye and Xie Cheng, two young men who didn’t look like bad boys, they let them both in without asking.

Xie Cheng said as he walked, “This community apartment must be at least 20 years old. I just made inquiries and found out that they are usually migrant workers who live in rented houses. Not far from here is the Economic Development Zone, which has many factories, so there is a lot of traffic here. And it happens everywhere around, the aura airflow is very mixed.”

Gu Ye nodded, “This kind of place is easier to harbor dirty things and evil. Be careful today, it’s the first time we teamed up. Don’t die or I won’t be able to explain myself to your master.”

Xie Cheng chuckled coldly, “Don’t worry, my master said I can live up to 99.”

Gu Ye palmed his forehead. Darn it, I have to help this poor guy for more than 70 years!

The two went up to the second floor together and knocked on the door. Not long after, the middle-aged man in the photo opened the door. Seeing Gu Ye with a helper, the middle-aged man looked stunned.

“You are Shao Dayong right? I am Gu Ye.”

Shao Dayong quickly got out of the way, “Two masters, please come in quickly!”

Gu Ye went in first and saw at a glance that there was another young man sitting on the old sofa. He was about 1.8 meters tall, neither fat nor thin. He was not particularly good-looking, but his facial features were not evil and he was quite good-looking. In appearance, his temperament is a bit smooth.

Gu Ye frowned, “Are you a streamer?”

The man was shocked, “How do you know?”

Shao Dayong quickly explained, “I asked for help online, but no one believed me. He was the only one who believed what I said and came to my house to have a look. It was just a coincidence.”

Standing up, the young man looked at Gu Ye, and said in surprise, “I am a supernatural streamer. My real name is Wang Xueliang. My name in the live broadcast is Wang Dadan (Courageous Wang). I didn’t expect to meet you here. What a coincidence.”

Hearing that, Gu Ye’s expression softened and he asked seriously, “If you are going to live broadcast, will you film us later?”

Wang Dadan asked tentatively, “Do you mind?”

Gu Ye shook his head, “I don’t mind, but you have to give us a commission.”

Wang Dadan obviously did not expect Gu Ye to ask for money from him, and asked in shock, “Are you short of this kind of money?”

Gu Ye spread his hands and said, “Of course. My father’s money doesn’t belong to me.”

Xie Cheng nodded seriously, “Yes, I am also very poor.”

Wang Dadan estimated how much more money he could make if Gu Ye appears in his broadcast, and he excitedly agreed. Immediately, he posted on Weibo: [A netizen’s house is haunted and I came to check on the situation. I didn’t expect to meet Gu Ye. Oh my God! He looked really handsome in real life! I want to film him in my live broadcast room! Live now!]

The corner of Gu Ye’s mouth curved up, “Young man, you are very good at stirring up things. Today’s commission will be split among us at 3:3:4. You’ll take 4, and we will take 3 each. Do you agree? Otherwise, we will drive you away from here.”

Wang Dadan smiled awkwardly. Sure enough, it is difficult to earn from the second generation of rich people.

Gu Ye then started to look at the furnishings in the room. They were all semi-old furniture. Judging from the aura, this big brother had lived here for a long time. All the furnishings showed that this was an ordinary family, and this brother here is unmarried, living alone.

After checking the surroundings, Gu Ye asked, “How many months has it been since your mother passed away?”

Shao Dayong was stunned, “3 months. You can even find that out from looking around my house?”

Gu Ye looked at the man’s face, “Your parents divorced early. You should have been rebellious and disobedient when you were young. After spending several years in prison, you changed your attitude after being released and opened a small noodle shop, which was a good business. Looking at your complexion, white Qi is hidden under your skin. If they scatter in spots but do not gather together, a parent must have died at home.”

Gu Ye looked out the window before turning to Xie Cheng. Xie Cheng understood and closed the window. Gu Ye said calmly, “And so, it’s your mother who passed away.”

Shao Dayong looked at Gu Ye excitedly, as if looking at a life-saving Bodhisattva, “Yes, you are right! Master Gu, you have to save me! I was a bit of a bastard when I was young, but I atone for my sins at that time (in prison). I’ve changed, I didn’t do anything evil.”

Gu Ye smiled, “I know, since I’m here, I will save you. If you are a bastard, I won’t come no matter how much you pay.”

Shao Dayong breathed a sigh of relief. He didn’t know if it was an illusion or something. Since Xie Cheng closed the window, the temperature in the whole room seemed to have dropped, and there was a faint chill. It is now past 9.00 pm, and the street lights in the community have poor quality and are flickering, making the environment a bit eerie for some reason.

At this time, streamer Wang Dadan quietly moved behind Gu Ye.

Gu Ye looked back at Wang Dadab with disgust, “You are such a big man, but you are actually this timid?”

Wang Dadan smiled sheepishly, held up his mobile phone, and said while live broadcasting, “No, I just felt that the place where I was sitting just now was a little cold, as if something was looking at me.”

Gu Ye looked over and saw a blue doll with big black eyes, a round body, and a pointed hat on top of the TV cabinet. The light in the living room is yellow, and the doll sits there quietly, giving people an inexplicable weird feeling. Compared with other things in the room, it looks out of place.

“When did you buy that roly-poly toy?”

Shao Dayong explained in frustration, “After my mother passed away. My mother has taken care of me since I was a child. When I was young, we had a good relationship, but my family was poor and my mother and I had a hard time. The only doll my mother ever bought me was a similar one. Later, she remarried, and I always blamed her, and the relationship was never good. After she died, I regretted it very much. When I came back from the funeral, I happened to pass by a second-hand toy store. I saw that this doll looked very similar to the toy I had when I was a child, so I bought it back.”

Gu Ye narrowed his eyes, “The strange happenings must have started from there.”

Shao Dayong thought about it and was suddenly shocked. “Yes! Is it my mother? That being said, strange things have happened since my mother passed away.”

Speaking of this, Shao Dayong’s eyes turned red. “She must have blamed me when she passed away. She blamed me for not being able to fulfill my filial piety properly.”

“What I saw was different from what you thought.” Gu Ye said as he looked at the roly-poly toy, his eyes turned cold. Just as he was about to walk over, the blue roly-poly turned around on its own in full view of everyone. A pair of eyes that were no different from those of normal people looked at Gu Ye and the others coldly.

“Oh my god!” Wang Dadan, who was standing behind Gu Ye, was so frightened that he took several steps back and squatted directly in the corner. He was a live broadcaster of supernatural beings. He often looked for ghosts, but he had never encountered strange things like this before. The audience used to enjoy watching the suddenly frightened expression of such a big man like him, and they took pleasure from it. This time, they were also frightened, and the live broadcast room was filled with screams (in texts).

The eyes of this doll are the same as those of a human being, no, it should be said that they are the same as those of a dead person. They are completely lifeless like a pair of dead people’s eyes. They are just terrifying no matter how you look at them.

“Hahahahahaha…”

Suddenly, the doll swayed on its own! Its weird and harsh laughter became clearer and clearer as it swayed forward and back, and its dead eyes just blinked in front of everyone.

Everyone in the live broadcast room was scared shitless: [This is really fricking evil! Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! Gu Ye, hold me tight!!]

[Master Gu, quickly destroy it!! Hurry ah ah ah!!]
…

Wang Dadan has shrunk into the corner, wishing he could shrink into a 1.8-meter-sized mushroom.

Shao Dayong collapsed and held his head, “I heard this laughter in the middle of the night before. I looked for it, but I couldn’t find it. It turned out to be this thing.”

Gu Ye glanced at Wang Dadan who was hiding in the corner, “You, stay away from there.”

Wang Dadan couldn’t react, “Huh?”

Xie Cheng also said with an unkind tone, “You are stepping on that auntie’s foot, get out of the way!”

Wang Dadan’s face suddenly turned pale with fright, and he ran towards the door in a panic, intending to open the door and run away the moment something happens.

Gu Ye had a cold face and raised his eyebrows, “If you open the door and let this resentful spirit out, I will drag your soul out and stuff it into this doll.”

“I don’t dare!” Wang Dadan immediately regretted that he shouldn’t have stayed. It’s all because he wanted to earn more rewards from Gu Ye’s popularity, but he didn’t expect it to be so scary!

Gu Ye walked towards the doll without any fear and stretched out his hand to grab it. The doll’s eyes moved and it suddenly flew up. Laughing, it threw itself at Shao Dayong, who was sitting on the ground and collapsed from fear. The speed was so fast that it caught people off guard.

Chapter 45 President Yu can’t do it? Part 1

Gu Ye finished the piece of watermelon in his hand, hesitated between the two people for a while, and replied: [I choose Yu Ze. Asking me to calculate for my dad? You must have never seen how powerful his golf clubs are!]

Netizens were so amused that they commented with a bunch of Hahahaha: [Same world, same father. It turns out that Papa Gu can also beat his son!]

[I also remembered that when I was a child, my dad chased me for two kilometers with a stick when I didn’t want to go to school. Dem psychological shadow.]

…

Netizens began to talk about their tragic past of being pitted by their father. Gu Ye wiped his hands with a wet tissue and started typing:

[Yu Ze was born into a scholarly family, received a strict education since childhood, and graduated from a world-class prestigious university. The youngest Ph.D. in finance, now a leader of the younger generation in the business world. In 3 years, he promoted the domestic electronics industry to the world and became the youngest and most promising entrepreneur on the Forbes Richest People list.

You all already know these things, so I won’t say more about them. What I’m calculating is his future.

Yu Ze was destined to have no heirs and would live a life of wealth and honor with few ups and downs. He could be said to be the son of destiny. If he were born in ancient times, he would definitely have the destiny of an emperor. Even in contemporary times, he would become the top person in that industry no matter what he does. Not only his destiny but also his ability. He is a born leader and will always be at the top throughout his life. Some people may not believe in fate, but I want to say that he is God’s own son. If anyone wants to plot against him due to his young age, you might want to reconsider or God will take your life back.]

After Gu Ye pressed send, netizens complained: [You are crazy to say that he has no descendant!]

[Yeah, do you know how many people want to marry Yu Ze? Which one can’t give birth?!]

[Even if his body is sick, the medical technology is so advanced nowadays. It’s easy to have a child, right? How is it possible to have no heirs?]

[Master Gu, aren’t you afraid that President Yu will come to you? No heir! How dare you say that!]

[The old saying goes, “There are 3 ways to be unfilial, and the worst is to have no heirs.” Master Gu, you are going to get into trouble with your mouth!]

[I wonder who Yu Ze’s wife is and why she can’t give birth. Nowadays, medical technology is so advanced that in vitro fertilization is also possible. Yu Ze is so rich that he can have as many children as he wants.]

[I feel that there is no one who is worthy of him. There are some good-looking celebrities, but I feel that they don’t match his temperament. I haven’t seen him have any scandals with any woman in such a long time.]

[No scandals? Could it be… he like men?]

[Impossible, he has never had any scandals with men!]

[He is the only male in the Yu family. If he gets together with a man, will his father be angered to death?]

[Could it be that he can’t ‘do it’?]

[Damn, bro, you are more daring than Master Gu!]

[Eyy! Lighting a stick of incense for this bruh, rest in peace~]

…

Gu Ye was speechless when he saw these comments. Nobody believes him when he tells the truth. Yu Ze really has no heir but the weird point is here. There is a marriage line, but he has no heir! Gu Ye also wondered, why? Could it be Yu Ze really like men? My god! Gu Ye slapped his thigh excitedly and immediately realized. That’s right, if Yu Ze likes men, it can perfectly explain that he has a marriage line but no offspring!

As soon as the thought came up, Gu Ye’s cell phone buzzed.

Yu Ze: [I heard that you told me a fortune?]

Gu Ye was shocked, this news came too fast! He replied cautiously: [Don’t be angry, I just told the truth.]

Yu Ze: [I don’t have an heir, and some people say I can’t ‘do it’?]

Gu Ye twitched the corner of his mouth and replied speechlessly: [Only one person said that, and no one believes it. Don’t get misled by him, those netizens just said it casually.]

The message was sent out for several minutes, but there was no reply from Yu Ze.

Gu Ye asked uncertainly: [Are you really angry? It’s not my fault! I’m not talking nonsense!]

Yu Ze still didn’t reply.

Gu Ye couldn’t hold back his anxiousness. Is Yu Ze really serious? He sent another message: [They are talking nonsense! I believe you, it’s not your problem! I can read face features, and I can tell whether someone is sick or not!]

Yu Ze replied instantly this time: [En.]

Gu Ye palmed his forehead. Why are we seriously talking about this issue? Isn’t it childish?!

Yu Ze: [Are you still adapting alright to school?]

The topic finally became normal, and Gu Ye replied: [Military training starts tomorrow and will take half a month.]

Yu Ze: [When are you free? I will come and see you.]

Gu Ye: [It’s an hour and a half drive, it’s too troublesome.]

Yu Ze: [No trouble. I can come over after get off work early and have a meal together.]

Gu Ye: [Okay, I’ll tell you when the time comes.]

Yu Ze: [Give me your address.]

Gu Ye sent the address without thinking. The two chatted for a while, and it was already 10.00 pm before they knew it. Gu Ye looked at his watch and replied: [I won’t chat anymore. I’m going to bed, and I have military training tomorrow.]

Yu Ze: [Pay attention to heatstroke prevention, good night.]

Gu Ye’s lips curved up. Thinking of Yu Ze’s cool and taciturn temperament, Yu Ze was able to chat with him for such a long time and even say good night to him. If he said it out, no one would believe him. But, it’s really heartwarming.

…

Freshmen on all major campuses have begun military training. Gu Ye wore a green camo attire and found Zhao Pengyu and Xia Xiang amongst a group of camouflage eggs*. The three of them laughed at each other and smiled mischievously, “It’s unfortunate that the instructor doesn’t allow us to bring our cell phones. It would be great if we could bring it along. We can take a photo and keep it. Then looking back at it half a month later, we are definitely not the same shade of skin color.”

*Probably a slang because Banana can’t find out why the author referred to everyone in camo attire as eggs

“Gu Ye! Look here!”

When Gu Ye heard someone shouting, he turned around subconsciously. Several senior sisters holding umbrellas and eating popsicles were pointing the camera at him. Gu Ye waved his hands helplessly and smiled at them, “Is it interesting to take pictures of me?”

“Yes!” Several girls were laughing when they heard someone shouting from a group of camouflage eggs next to them, “Gu Ye?! Which one is Gu Ye?”

Gu Ye raised his head and said, “Am I actually so famous? My mother will be so happy when she finds out.”

Zhao Pengyu laughed happily, and just as he was talking, Gu Ye felt that very depressing feeling of being watched again, and sensitively looked in that direction. When he saw a swath of camouflage eggs, he couldn’t tell who was who. Gu Ye’s shoulders slumped. Where were those eyes peeping at him?

“Queue up, queue up!” Zhao Pengyu pulled Gu Ye and pushed Xia Xiang to the front, causing Xia Xiang to roll his eyes. He has a feeling of a short person being discriminated against by a tall person.

After the first day of training, a series of hashtags such as [The most handsome little brother in military training], [Military training photos of the most tender ‘School Grass’ at Capital University], [Military training video of the third young master of the Gu family] were posted online. Not only the senior sisters took the photos, but also the seniors from the journalism department on campus. The scariest thing is that even reporters from the Xuezi website came to take pictures.

Gu Ye felt like collapsing inside, “I can’t even think about being lazy (during the training)! Are they sick? Why are they filming me?!”

Zhao Pengyu was not happy either, “I am standing with you and being photographed together. I can’t be lazy either!”

Zhao Pengyu looked around and secretly took out his mobile phone, “We don’t need them, we can take the pictures ourselves!”

The rules-abiding baby Xia Xiang was startled, “Are you seeking death? Your phone will be confiscated if the instructors find out!”

“Shh! Don’t talk!”

Zhao Pengyu took a photo of himself sitting on the grass and resting with Gu Ye and Xia Xiang. The whole screen was filled with his sunny and handsome face, and Xia Xiang’s helpless face, with Gu Ye’s very obvious disgusted face in the middle. Zhao Pengyu didn’t care and happily posted on WeChat Moments: [Handsome is one word that I will never explain.]

Not long after posting the photo, Zhao Pengyu discovered something that shocked him, “Goodness! The sun is setting in the north today. My uncle actually gave me a like! It’s terrifying!”

The corner of Gu Ye’s mouth moved. It’s a bit embarrassing to say that Yu Ze’s hands were very fast. Yu Ze will immediately like everything he posted. What’s all the fuss about this?

Noticing that the instructor was looking over, Zhao Pengyu put his cell phone in his pocket with an expressionless expression and hid it secretly, acting as if nothing had happened. His actions were very smooth!

In the evening, as soon as Gu Ye arrived at the gate of the community, he saw a young man wearing a suit and holding a big box walking towards him, “Hello, Master Gu. President Yu asked me to deliver something to you.”

Gu Ye blinked in confusion, “Yu Ze? What is he giving me?”

The young man put the box on the ground and opened it. It was full of snacks. “President Yu came back from a meeting at noon and passed by the snack street and bought it himself.”

“Did he buy it himself?” Gu Ye felt warm in his heart. He couldn’t explain how he felt. He looked at the big box and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

The young man delivered the things to Gu Ye’s home and left quickly. Gu Ye pursed his lips and sent a message to Yu Ze in a complicated mood: [Thank you, I received the snacks. They are enough for me to eat for half a month. I looked through them and noticed that they were all my favorites. How do you know what snacks I like to eat?]

Yu Ze: [I asked your younger brother.]

Seeing the message, Gu Ye burst into laughter. That fool Old Fourth. People ask him anything and he’ll just say it. This silly boy! Yu Ze also went so far as to inquire about such a trivial matter.

Gu Ye asked tentatively: [Does Zhao Pengyu have the same?]

Yu Ze: [He has grown up and doesn’t need it.]

Gu Ye hesitated before replying: [I have grown up too.]

Yu Ze: [You are different.]

Receiving this answer as the reason, no matter how slow Gu Ye is in the matter of relationship, he still notices that Yu Ze treats him differently from others. Looking at the pile of snacks quietly, Gu Ye was stunned for a while and suddenly smiled, “Gods above, are you serious about this arrangement?”

Chapter 44 Who knows what will happen?

Gu Ye called his little mother, and the caller answered the phone after ringing for more than 10 seconds.

Gu Ye asked anxiously, “Mom! What are you doing? Why did I see on the Internet that you were thinking about committing suicide? I saw the news, don’t listen to those blind people (who can’t see the truth) spouting nonsense! What should we do if you die? What will happen to me and my brother? My dad is already so old, do you want him to be alone for the rest of his remaining life? Internet trolls are everywhere, after they force you to death, they will change to harm the next victim. Why are you angry with a group of cockroaches?”

Zhao Pengyu and Xia Xiang nodded. Indeed, the keyboard warriors had killed many people, and not a single one of them had repented. If they really drove someone to death, they’ll just pat their keyboards and say a few emotional words. After that, they’ll just go to find the next target to continue spreading malicious comments. Other people’s death does not affect them. Just that who knows how much karma these trolls have accumulated. Gu Ye should really do a calculation for them.

Mrs. Gu didn’t expect Gu Ye to call. When she heard Gu Ye calling her in an agitated tone, she couldn’t jump anymore. Her plan was to attempt suicide, thus confirming the fact that she could not bear the mental stress and would harm herself. Then, she’ll investigate who is the bastard who spread the rumors and make sure he gets a heavy sentence, that’ll teach him not to mess with her!

But now, Gu Ye is serious and anxious for her. This is the first time Mrs. Gu heard Gu Ye talking like this, and she couldn’t bear it.

Netizens who shouted for Mrs. Gu not to hesitate and to die quickly were all stunned. Those who made posthumous photos for Mrs. Gu, and those who bought funeral wreaths to place in front of Gu Decheng’s company were also dumbfounded. Why is Gu Ye acting different from what they expected?

They even photoshopped her posthumous photo. How could Gu Ye come out and stop her? Is Gu Ye stupid?

For those whose brains still functioning, they can see that Gu Ye really cares about his stepmother. If he didn’t have true feelings, would he be so scared (of the attempt)? This group of people wisely shut their mouths and began to wait and see how things would develop.

There are still some people who insist on their original ideas. The video showed clearly that Gu Ye was beaten by his stepmother. Now everyone is venting their anger on his behalf. Why doesn’t he stand on the same front with them? He actually helped his evil stepmother to speak out. Did his conscience get fed to the dogs?!

Therefore, that group of netizens even scolded Gu Ye: A stupid, mentally retarded masochist. How did he get into Capital University? Someone call the Capital University. Such an ungrateful fool will become a scum of society in the future and must be expelled!

The Capital University’s admissions hotline was suddenly bombarded with calls. It’s all to request Gu Ye, a white-eyed wolf (ungrateful bastard) to get out of Capital University.

At this time, sane netizens began to advise: [Normally we shouldn’t care about other people’s family affairs. For those of you who want to seek justice, what is your mentality? To whom do you want to seek justice? Is it for Gu Ye or yourself? If it is not handled according to your ideas, then they should die?]

[My god, what’s going on? Why are so many people asking her to die? Is this woman a murderer? Why is the comment section so violent?][1]

…

At this moment, Gu Ye urged anxiously, “Mom, I’m watching you online right now. Come down quickly! If you don’t come down, I’ll ask for leave and go back home this instant!”

“I’m just enjoying the wind and not jumping. You should just continue doing what you are doing!” Mrs. Gu said like she didn’t care but secretly wiped her tears away, giving the feeling that anyone who forced her to die was a bastard.

Gu Ye coaxed patiently, “Come down first, we can discuss anything you want. There is a lot of online violence, and whoever dies first loses. Don’t you want to see the person who spread the rumors get caught?”

At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Gu Yang rushed in anxiously, “Mom! What are you doing? Come down quickly!”

Xia Xiang: “The live broadcast has been interrupted.”

Gu Ye heard his brother’s agitated voice on the other end of the phone and said helplessly, “Mom, you are really…” Gu Ye didn’t know what to say to her. “Those with weak hearts would really get scared to death by you! Why are you so angry with a group of lunatics? If you are free, you can go play mahjong, do beauty treatments, go shopping for clothes, and watch fashion shows. Do you think that my father could allow others to bully you like this?”

Mrs. Gu blinked awkwardly. Gu Ye’s dad doesn’t even go on the Internet. How could he care about such a trivial matter? She said awkwardly, “Okay, okay, you can go about your business. I also need to find a lawyer to sue those bastards!”

Within two minutes of hanging up the phone, someone restored the original version of the controversial video, and the picture was clearer this time. In the video, Mrs. Gu asked Gu Ye something with a smile, and Gu Ye smilingly answered a few words. Hearing that, Mrs. Gu happily patted Gu Ye on the shoulder and said a few more words. Judging from their expressions, Mrs. Gu was not beating Gu Ye at all but a joking gesture.

Those who cursed Mrs. Gu to death were dumbfounded, and the other netizen was excited: [The situation was reversed, reversed! I just like popcorn with plot twists! Slap in the face pa pa pa!]

Immediately afterward, another video was posted online. This video was found on the surveillance camera in front of the school. In addition to restoring the original version, the front and back were lengthened a lot. After Gu Ye’s college entrance examination, his mother was waiting for him at the school gate under the scorching sun like an ordinary parent. After Gu Ye came out, looking at their mouth movements, it was obvious that she asked Gu Ye how he did in the exam. The two made a few jokes and got into the car holding hands.

The one who photoshopped a posthumous photo of Mrs. Gu started to scold the people who spread the rumors. The person who bought the funeral wreath stood at the door of Gu’s property, holding the wreath and being watched by passers-by like an idiot. He was also angry and turned the focus on the person who spread the rumors. The person who called Capital University got stuck in the middle of the call. The situation was reversed so fast that it left people completely unprepared.

The online navy raised by Gu Lin’s company also came on board at this moment, and they scolded all the trolls each one one by one, and the scoldings were unpleasant!

[You dare to photoshop posthumous photos of other people, I dare too. I can also use fancy Photoshop to create mass graves for keyboard trolls. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!]

The most calm person was Gu Ye’s father. President Gu said calmly, “Don’t let go even a single one, let’s sue them all.”

The teachers at Gu Ye’s school were also speechless. “Why are today’s young people so short-tempered? When the facts were put in front of them, they were all dumbfounded.”

“By generalizing, they are just blind. They are passionate but have no brains. They are always being taken advantage of, probably because they are still young, and bad people take advantage of children of this age.”

“Because the law can’t control them for the time being. Rumormongers will definitely be caught, but no one cares about this group of angry young people who curse the same. So they will dare to do this again next time.”

After finishing speaking, several old professors looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. The current situation of society may change in the future, but it will take time.

Online violence that lasted for a day was reversed that night because the Gu family had money to hire people to find evidence, find people with skills to restore the video, and also find the original video from the school gate a few months ago. Many people online lamented that this was actually a misunderstanding and that it was so boring. The rest of the netizens scolded those who spread rumors saying that they are not human beings, they are scum and are harming society, so they might as well die. It’s the same routine of forcing people to death. As for the victim, Mrs. Gu, very few apologized to her for their actions.

The person who caused this farce is also scared. He originally shot this video and deliberately changed it to look controversial so that Mrs. Gu and Gu Ye are popular on the Internet. Then, he would use this chance to absorb some traffic and win the public’s attention, and then open an entertainment gossip studio to take pictures of celebrities’ private lives. It is said that after celebrities are photographed, they will pay high prices to buy the dirty information, which can make a lot of money. He never expected that his action would cause someone to almost die.

Thinking that the Gu family is so rich, what if someone is sent to investigate him and take revenge on him? In order not to leave any evidence, the person deleted the Weibo post out of fear and canceled his Weibo account. Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, the police came to the door.

“What did I do? Why are you arresting me? I didn’t do anything! Why do you arrest people so casually? I want to expose you on the Internet for knowing and breaking the law!”

This person is also yelling very loudly, as if very sure that the police don’t have anything on him! The police didn’t even bother to talk nonsense to him, so they just put him in a police car and took him away. They really don’t know which idiot told this mentally retarded person that if the rumor-mongering video is deleted from the Internet, the police will not be able to find out who it belongs to.

Everyone originally thought that this matter would be over with the arrest of the rumor mongers. Unexpectedly, Gu Ye posted a short video on Weibo that night, pushing the matter to another climax.

The video was taken in dim light. It’s not a normal warm color in a common household, but a weird reddish color. There is a ferocious-looking statue of a god on a large table. There are incense burners and offerings in front of it, and there are many incomprehensible charms hanging next to it. It looks evil no matter how one looks at it.

Gu Ye stood in this weird environment with a smile on his face, faced the camera, and sneered: “Whoever tried forcing my mother to die today should quickly apologize to my mother. Otherwise, who the hell knows what will happen.”

As soon as this Weibo post came out, everyone was scared crazy, because not only was Gu Ye’s aura so scary, but they also saw a clear shadow in the corner behind Gu Ye, a woman in red clothes! That woman only has her upper body! No legs! No legs!!

Netizens who had been quiet just now suddenly exploded: [I’m sorry! I give in! I was wrong! I can’t afford to anger you!]

[I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’ll never curse someone without asking for the facts again! Take your formation back quickly! Take that female ghost back!]

[That woman, ah ah ah ah ah, is she a ghost, is she a ghost? Gu Ye can really attract ghosts!]

[It is indeed wrong to force people to die, but is it too much for you to scare people like this?]

[At first glance, I can see that this is photoshopped. What a scam! She (Mrs. Gu) is not dead anyway, so why should we apologize? Attention-seeker, is it only your mother’s life is precious?]

[^ You are saying like other people’s life is worthless. Fortunately, this suicide attempt was discovered just in time. What about those who were not discovered? Will it be just like the family of three who were driven to death by online violence a few days ago?]

[It’s just casual talk. Who doesn’t know how to say these three words, ‘go to hell’? She’s not dead anyway, so why should we apologize? This whole thing is absolutely false!]

[^ Did you apologize when someone really dies? There are already too many people driven to death by online violence. With just a few taps on the keyboard, writing ‘go to hell’ makes you feel happy. But have you ever thought about what one person would think if so many people’s vicious words were thrown at him?]

[Idiots, please apologize quickly. Didn’t Gu Ye say before that anyone who scolded his whole family to die would definitely bump into ghosts when they went out? Someone really bumped into ghosts!]

[Damn it! For real?! So evil?!]

[Can this be false? Someone already said it in the comments! He is the Gu Ye who can destroy a wealthy family with just a fortune-telling! Something happened to Dingnan Entertainment recently. Their celebrities were either taking drugs or cheating. He can really pinch and calculate, what more attracts ghosts? If you don’t want to bump into a ghost, apologize quickly!]

[Apologize! Apologize to the victims of online violence! If you don’t apologize, aren’t you afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night?]

…

After being intimidated by Gu Ye and pressured by people who couldn’t stand it online, people lined up to apologize regardless of whether they were sincere or not. Occasionally, a few people who wanted to quibble were scolded like dogs by righteous netizens, and they bowed their heads and apologized.

Gu Ye coldly looked at these keyboard trolls apologizing to him. Picking up a snow rice cake offered on the table, he tore open the package and took a bite. It was crunchy and crispy. Then he said to the portrait of the King of Hell, “While others worship gods, I worship ghosts. You have to open your eyes and look at the world. If anyone is being a bastard, you will take him away.”

After Gu Ye finished speaking, he left. Sister Hong Dou quickly took another piece of rice cake to top it up and bowed apologetically to the statue. Having an owner who doesn’t follow any rules is also very worrying.

Overnight, the screenshot of Gu Ye setting up an altar to force an apology from the keyboard warrior was spread all over the Internet. The Internet spread the rumors about Gu Ye’s abilities and it became more and more mysterious. Some people actually asked him to tell fortunes.

[Asking for help: Master, can you help me find a partner?]

[Master Gu! Can you read my fortune for me?]

[Master Gu! I think my house is haunted. There are breathing sounds under my bed! Help!]

…

Gu Ye took a look at it in the morning and replied casually: [Got money?]

Netizen: [Third Young Master Gu, are you short of money?!]

Gu Ye: [The rules in our industry are that if you don’t have money to pay, don’t talk.]

Netizen: [Here! I’ll give you money!]

Gu Ye: [Sorry, I have military training tomorrow, and I’m not in a good mood right now. Let’s talk about it when I get back tonight.]

Netizen: […]

…

As soon as Gu Ye arrived at the school, he noticed many people peeking at him. Zhao Pengyu, who was sitting in the third row, waved, “Gu Ye! Here!”

Gu Ye curved the corner of his mouth and walked over calmly. Zhao Pengyu asked with a smirk, “Brother, you did a great job last night!”

Gu Ye narrowed his eyes, “It’s okay, but it’s a pity that those people got scared and apologized.”

When the students around Gu Ye heard that his tone sounded quite regretful, they couldn’t help but look at him twice. At this glance, they felt that they had thought too much. He looked unaffected and seemed to be in a good mood.

The boy in front of Gu Ye couldn’t help but turn around and ask in a low voice, “Gu Ye, can you really attract ghosts?”

Gu Ye smiled and said in a good-tempered way, “How can there be any ghosts in this world? Ghosts are all born in people’s hearts. If you don’t do bad things, there will never be ghosts.”

Everyone around thought what Gu Ye said was very reasonable. They were all highly educated academics, and they didn’t believe in ghosts and gods. “I understand now, you are taking advantage of their guilty conscience to scare them deliberately, right? That’s so refreshing!”

“That photoshopped picture is so scary! Did you PS-ed it yourself?”

“Gu Ye, how come you missed the college entrance examination full mark by just one point? You’re so awesome!”

At first glance, Gu Ye was not as aloof as expected. The classmates around him were talking to him quietly. Gu Ye held his chin and chatted with anyone, and they quickly became familiar with him.

“Gu Ye is not aloof at all. Who said he is not easy to talk to?”

“His eyes are curved when he smiles. He’s so beautiful!”

“He has a really good temper and speaks outright. He can also curse people, hahaha~ but the curses are not rude at all.”

“I asked him for an autograph, but he was confused and said that he was not a celebrity, so why did I want an autograph? His surprised expression was so cute!”

…

After class, a group of girls chatted and went to the cafeteria to eat. A girl dressed inconspicuously followed them quietly, holding a textbook and lowering her head. Hearing their praise about Gu Ye, she pursed her lips and chuckled.

Hearing that, the girl in front looked back in confusion, with a bit of disgust in her eyes, “Li Jiatong, you are scary like this, okay?”

“Yeah, it’s really shocking if you do this at night!”

“I’m sorry!” The girl apologized quickly, took two steps, and hid aside.

“Who is she? Do you know her?”

“Oh, we used to be from the same high school. She is timid and naive, believing whatever others say. She usually studies well and has good test scores. She often gets scholarships and can pay her own tuition, but she just doesn’t have the confidence.”

I heard,” the girl looked around, lowered her voice, and whispered, “She was adopted by her parents who had no children and had no other choice. Later, her parents gave birth to a girl. She was very outstanding and beautiful since she was a child. So, Li Jiatong has been treated as a servant by her whole family since she was a child. It may be that she has suffered too many blows, which is why she has become so unsure of herself.”

Several girls looked sympathetically at Li Jiatong, who was walking alone with her head down in the distance, “How pitiful.”

“Yes, her position in the family is too embarrassing.”

Li Jiatong took out her mobile phone again. She took another picture of Gu Ye’s back in the corner of the last row in the morning. Compared with the one she took last time, Gu Ye looked more mature and taller. It becomes increasingly difficult for one to take their eyes away.

Gu Ye, who had just left the classroom, felt cold all over and shivered for no reason. Zhao Pengyu joked, “What’s wrong? Sister Ghost misses you??”

Xia Xiang punched Zhao Pengyu on the waist, “Shut up! Don’t mention that word!”

Gu Ye frowned and couldn’t figure it out himself, “I feel like a pair of eyes are staring at me. That feeling… is very depressing.”

Xia Xiang said seriously: “I didn’t see anything. Besides, it’s daytime now.”

“Forget it, I can’t calculate what it is. I’ll deal with it when it comes.”

Gu Ye gave up without even thinking about it. The three of them went to the cafeteria to eat together. Xia Xiang checked on the school forum and found that the food in Cafeteria 2 was the most delicious. Gu Ye ordered 4 meat types and a bowl of rice. The portion was obviously larger than Zhao Pengyu’s.

Zhao Pengyu was dissatisfied, “Why is your plate full of meat?”

“It’s not like I can’t afford meat, so why should I eat vegetables? I’m not a rabbit.”

“No! They’re all braised pork ribs. You have 8 pieces, but I only have 5.”

Gu Ye tsk-ed and said, “Maybe it’s because you are ugly, and Auntie thinks you are annoying to the eyes.”

Hearing that, Zhao Pengyu angrily robbed Gu Ye of his meat. Gu Ye raised his eyebrows, took a video, and sent it to Yu Ze. While eating, he asked in a voice message, “President Yu, your nephew is robbing me of my food. Do you need me to beat your nephew on your behalf?”

Zhao Pengyu had just stuffed a piece of pork ribs into his mouth when he heard this. He raised his head in shock, “Frick! You are too small-minded, dare to snitch on me!”

At this time, Gu Ye’s phone vibrated, and Yu Ze replied: [Hit him.]

Gu Ye smiled and showed it to Zhao Pengyu, “Your uncle asked me to take care of the child for him. Quick, call me Father!”

Zhao Pengyu snatched the phone over. Gu Ye’s phone screen is turned off so he tapped on it. Unexpectedly, the screen lit up and Zhao Pengyu was stunned when he saw the person on the screen saver.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Ye took the phone back and saw Yu Ze’s handsome face. The corners of Gu Ye’s mouth subconsciously raised. He put the phone against his drink and looked at Yu Ze’s face. He felt that he could eat another bowl of rice with that photo.

“Gu Ye, what’s your relationship with my uncle?” Zhao Pengyu looked at Gu Ye with complicated eyes and asked tentatively.

“What kind of relationship? Just friends, what else can it be?” Gu Ye was eating, doesn’t understand that question.

“But why did you use his photo as a screen saver? This is his office, right? My uncle has never looked at me with such tender eyes. You two have such a good relationship in private?”

Gu Ye’s smile stilled and he subconsciously glanced at Yu Ze’s eyes, which seemed… indeed very soft. Yu Ze’s gaze at him, it changed from being a stranger and defensive at first, to admiring him later, and now, he can no longer understand Yu Ze as well.

“Maybe it’s because of our affinity. Also, he’s good-looking.” Gu Ye said carelessly, “I just like to see good-looking people. What’s wrong with using him as a screensaver?”

Zhao Pengyu frowned, “Celebrities are much better, why don’t you use them?”

Gu Ye rolled his eyes, “Are you stupid, because he is prettier than a celebrity!”

Zhao Pengyu was speechless. He couldn’t refute this reason.

Gu Ye clicked on the screen again, stared at Yu Ze for five seconds, and sighed in his heart: ‘If one day he couldn’t help but capture Yu Ze home to be his wife, it must be because he has fallen in love with his beauty. Unfortunately, there is a red line on Yu Ze’s hand. He wonders which little devil got the advantage.’

…

Gu Ye came home with his military training uniform in his arms at night and cut a slice of watermelon. While eating, he logged onto Weibo out of boredom to see what new and outrageous things Dingnan Entertainment had done. He also didn’t expect that the Weibo account he just registered at random would already have 20,000 fans, and many people would leave him messages: [How much does it cost to tell a fortune?]

Gu Ye eats and feels amused at the same time. Business can be done like this? He replied: [3 fortune-telling a day. Each cost 1,000 yuan. Payment must be done first.]

Netizens complained: [It’s too expensive! You are cheating money!]

Gu Ye spit out two watermelon seeds: [(ˉ▽￣~) Tsk~~ Nobody force you to pay!]

Netizens were hesitant. They wanted to get a fortune-telling because they were curious about this and were just joining in the fun. It would be better to have a good meal with that 1,000 yuan than throwing it away for a fortune-telling.

Just when everyone was retreating, a netizen named ‘Spicy Crayfish’ jumped out: [I want a fortune-telling! Can tell any fortune as long as I give the money? Do you dare to tell the fortune of public figures?]

Gu Ye: [If you dare to post it, I will count it.]

The man immediately posted 2 pictures to Gu Ye with a message: [I will send you money via PM. You pick one to tell the fortune! (Finger heart gesture.jpg)]

When Gu Ye saw the 2 people in the photo, the corners of his mouth twitched. He spat out a watermelon seed and replied: [You are ruthless!]

Of these two people, one is the young leader of the current business world and the heir to the Yu family, Yu Ze. Another is an entrepreneur who created an era, Gu Ye’s father, Gu Decheng.

These two are also familiar people to Gu Ye, who should he choose?

---

Gu Ye: If one day I fall in love with you, it must be because you are good-looking.
Yu Ze: …Shut up! Don’t say it out loud!

[1] Banana also don’t understand. Arguing online is quite normal, but why would you ask someone to go and die? Generally speaking, no one deserves to be called out to die (except rapist/murderer/heavy criminal). So, no matter how you want to express your argument, you should never ask someone to die or scold them to die.

I saw this quite frequently in kpop scene, mainly amongst the fans when they were cursing out other idols or people they don’t like. Banana is a fan of Twoset Violin so for those who knows, you know la. Banana saw these kpop fans asking Twoset to go and die, just because they don’t like how TSV do their stuff. These children don’t know how hurtful it is and it’s actually disturbing to see that many youngsters who think it’s okay to curse someone to die.

They might be thinking the same thing, ‘I told them to go and die, but it’s not like they will go and die anyway.’ But that negative energy and the malicious intent, it doesn’t go away like that. I can’t explain it properly in words but Banana believe in ‘Do not do unto others, what you do not want others to do unto you’. So if you asked people to die, you deserved to be done the same. You deserved it. See how you react then. So, please be kind… at the very least, don’t ask someone to die.

Chapter 43 Internet Violence Part 2

Gu Ye and his parents left school and happened to pass by a girl. The girl stopped on the spot and looked back at Gu Ye’s back in shock. Seeing his well-dressed and elegant parents, she suddenly thought of the background of Gu Ye’s family. Thinking about herself again, she opened her mouth to say something but in the end, felt too inferior to call out.

The girl opened her phone and found the photo she had treasured for a long time. It was a picture of Gu Ye’s back. The girl watched Gu Ye disappear from sight, hugged the phone tightly in her arms, and blushed quietly.

After a long time, she posted a message in Moments that was only visible to herself: I didn’t expect to meet him on the first day of school, but he didn’t seem to recognize me. It doesn’t matter, I’m so inconspicuous, it’s only normal that he doesn’t remember. However, I will try my best.

…

Mrs. Gu attended the freshman welcome meeting as scheduled. Sitting in the front row, the wealthy lady dressed elegantly and charmingly was the focus of the entire venue from her appearance to her temperament. Coupled with Gu Ye’s good looks, as soon as the mother and son pair was exposed, the Internet exploded: [The most beautiful mother suddenly appeared at Capital University’s opening ceremony!]

Mrs. Gu is captured very clearly in the photo, even the tears in her eyes are very clear. The child who was raised by herself is now so outstanding. As a mother, it is inevitable that she will feel a little proud. In addition, Gu Ye said at the end of his speech, “Thank you to my former teachers, thank you to my family, and especially thank you to my mother who can sit here for me today and raise me to adulthood. Thank you for your hard work.”

With this last sentence, Mrs. Gu couldn’t hold back and burst into tears on the spot.

The entire Internet is reposting, “How much effort does a mother need to give to raise a son so good?”

Those with children at home know that being a mother is not easy. Many netizens sighed at Mrs. Gu’s hard work and having sensible children. Some people also complained bitterly, In fact, she is not that good. The freshman representative is Gu Decheng’s third son, and this woman is his stepmother.

Many sensible netizens left messages: [It is difficult for a stepmother, and it is even more difficult for a stepmother from a wealthy family. With so many eyes watching, it seems that the relationship between mother and child is not bad.]

[Yes, yes, the child also said it very sincerely. So not all stepmothers are bad.]

…

Just when the online comments were in harmony, a piece of gossip news suddenly broke out: [Shocking! Rich stepmother beats her stepson in the street! He is actually the top scorer in the science stream this year!]

The topic of stepmothers beating children is too sensitive. As soon as it was posted, it attracted countless attention and was immediately shared across the Internet. Looking at the video of just a few seconds, the background is a high school, it should be the time of the college entrance examination. It was not known why but Mrs. Gu can be seen slapping Gu Ye’s shoulder hard. They were far away and the video couldn’t see the expressions of the mother and son clearly, but the viewers could still tell that the one who was beaten was really Gu Ye, this year’s top scorer in science, the most tender school grass at the Capital University, and the third son of Gu Decheng!

Netizens who had praised Mrs. Gu were stunned: [My god! Is it okay to hit a child in the street? If you can hit like this in public, how much worse you will hit at home?]

[The wealthy family is so scary, I feel sorry for my future little husband!]

[I heard that Gu Ye was not good at studying before. He was dull and clumsy, and always ranked last in the exams. It was not until the last half of the year that he suddenly showed his strength and ranked first in the school in the first monthly exam. That’s Wu Zhong High School, the Wu Zhong that is famous throughout the country for its enrollment rate!]

[Don’t you think it’s strange? Gu Ye was able to get into Wu Zhong, but why didn’t he study well in Wu Zhong? Does Gu Ye have a younger brother, born from his stepmother?]

[Photos of Gu Ye from before appeared immediately on the Internet. He looked like a pitiful little boy. Compared with now, his eyes look like he is completely different. Immediately afterward, someone took out a photo of Gu Yang and compared it with Gu Ye’s previous photos. It looked like a poor and abused young man and a carefree young master from a rich family.]

Comments online immediately exploded: [Oh my God, I smell a conspiracy!]

[It’s too scary, how terrible is the treatment that forces a child to act stupid from an early age?]

[Oh my God, this woman! I was so terrified that I had goosebumps all over my body!]

[How disgusting, so good at pretending! She also pretended to be very touched and even cried! vomits]

[Stepmother in human skin, Gu Ye might have been sarcastic when he said those words of gratitude, hah! Thanking her for the hard work and needing to raise him!]

[Why is this woman still alive?]

[Go to hell! Abusing of stepson, I just say that there is no good stepmother in the world. How could she be nice to him if he wasn’t her own child?]

…

The trend on the Internet changed instantly, from praising Mrs. Gu for her hard work to calling her an old witch in human skin, cursing her to die quickly, and even asking on Gu Lin’s company Weibo: [Do you know your brother is being abused?? Do you know that your stepmother is so good at pretending?]

Mrs. Gu is a person who often browses Weibo to read gossip. Before she could recover from the praise of ‘the most beautiful mother’, she was immediately scolded like a dog. Mrs. Gu was so angry that she even tore off her facial mask at home. She jumped up and down and cursed, “Nonsense! Fart! Quoting out of context! These people are simply writing without conscience!”

People like Mrs. Gu will never cry when they are wronged but must make others cry. She angrily opened Weibo, authenticated her account right away, and forwarded the Weibo where the video was released. In the caption, she wrote: [Fart your a.ss! Those who spread rumors that I abused my son will never have a son in this lifetime. If there’s one, after giving birth to a baby, you’ll take a DNA test and find out, haha, it’s not your biological son!]

This sentence was so vicious. Seeing that Mrs. Gu abused her stepson and still being so arrogant, the keyboard warriors raised their keyboards and scolded: [You vicious woman!]

[Vicious! Old witch! Too cheap! Covered in hypocrisy, pretending to… frick, I can’t even find the words to describe her!]

[Boorish! Is Gu Decheng blind? He found such a vicious woman!]

[It’s obvious that she’s not Gu Ye’s real mother (not acting like a real biological mother). Not only is she vicious, but she’s also rude! Crude! Go to hell! Why didn’t God take her now?!]

…

People on the Internet were so mad at Mrs. Gu that they couldn’t find the right words to retaliate. Other than telling her to die and scolding her for her lack of inner quality, they didn’t know how to criticize her for a while.

Mrs. Gu doesn’t do anything else either. She only searches for those retarded comments to retort. When she swore, there was really not much inner quality there.

Gu Ye’s Mother*: [It’s obvious to all whether Gu Decheng is blind or not. People who get fooled by a few words from the rumor-mongering bastard are mentally retarded. You guys are definitely some shiet-spraying machine that doesn’t have eyes and doesn’t know where your ancestral grave is. When Old Wang next door says I am your dad, you just chase after him and call him dad, blindly believing whatever he says!]

*It’s her ID nickname lol, in case someone don’t get it

Netizen who cursed Mrs. Gu: !!!

The whole internet is going crazy. They have never seen such a shameless, strong-willed, and boorish lady from a wealthy family!

When Mrs. Gu curses someone, she checks the number of reposts and comments on that Weibo post. Then, she saved screenshots from time to time. On the other hand, she called a lawyer, “I heard that as long as there are enough retweets, online slanders are punishable?”

The lawyer explained, “Yes, the Internet is no longer outside the law. According to the first paragraph of Article 246 of the Criminal Law, whoever openly insults others by violence or other methods or fabricates facts to slander others, if the circumstances are serious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than 3 years, criminal detention, public surveillance, or deprivation of political rights.”

“That post has been forwarded more than 8,000 times, with as many as 30,000 comments. Referring to the same article as stipulated in Paragraph 1 of Article 246 of the Criminal Law, if the post is actually clicked or viewed more than 5,000 times, or forwarded more than 500 times, the case will be deemed to be serious, and the person who spreads the rumor will be held legally responsible of. But I want to ask you, Mrs. Gu, is this video real? I know this was deliberately cut out and taken out of context. What I mean, has the video been maliciously manipulated?”

Mrs. Gu watched the video again and said firmly, “It’s just the speed has been sped up, making it look like the beating is fast and hard. I’m not sick! Why would I beat the child with so many people looking?!”

Mrs. Gu suddenly thought of what Gu Ye said about being photographed, “This crow’s mouth!” Now she really wanted to hit the child, but unfortunately, she couldn’t!

The lawyer smiled and said, “This is even better then because the action has constituted the crime of fabricating facts to slander others. If the victim is caused to become mentally disturbed or even commit suicide, the crime will be more serious.”

Mrs. Gu sneered, “Does it mean that the more forwards/reposting there are, the more serious the fker’s crime will be? If I can’t bear the pressure anymore, my mentality collapses, and want to commit suicide, will this become a bigger problem?”

The lawyer stopped talking. It was the first time he saw a woman who was so rational and cruel after being bullied online.

…

Gu Ye, Zhao Pengyu, and Xia Xiang walked around the campus together after dinner to get familiar with the campus environment. For some reason, the three of them found that people passing by gave Gu Ye sympathetic looks.

Gu Ye and Xia Xiang are both people with sensitive senses, and they immediately notice something is wrong, “What’s going on? Why do people look at me like a little cabbage in winter?”

Xia Xiang took out his mobile phone and said calmly, “Just check the school’s internal gossip website and you will know. This is the gathering place for school gossip. Whether it is gossip or small information, if you want to look for it, you can find it.”

Gu Ye went over to take a look and saw the news about his little mother committing suicide on the Internet. Gu Ye was immediately frightened, “Holy shit! Is my mother crazy?!” Gu Ye’s forehead was buzzing, and his heart was tightening in anxiety. Especially after he promised to provide for him in retirement, the other party has really treated him like his own son recently.

Gu Ye was so frightened that he wanted to quickly call his mother. He took out his cell phone and suddenly realized, “No, this is not in line with her temper! My father and brother are both at home at this time of the day. Who would let her commit suicide?”

Xia Xiang browses the discussion quickly, “Auntie was bullied online. I don’t know who uploaded a video saying that Auntie beats you, which triggered numerous attacks from netizens, saying that you were abused by Auntie since you were a child. Auntie couldn’t bear the agitation and declared to commit suicide live on Weibo. It’s a real video live broadcast, not a text-based live broadcast. Auntie scolded these keyboard trolls as her executioners and said she would not let them go even if she turned into a ghost. She even had a scolding match with them before that.”

Gu Ye was about to make a call, but suddenly lost his hurry after hearing this, “You mean my mother declared to commit suicide live after scolding someone?”

Xia Xiang nodded quickly, “Yes.”

Zhao Pengyu was also anxious, “Hurry up and call the police. Call your home. Why don’t we ask for leave and go back and have a look?!”

“Don’t worry yet,” Gu Ye looked at his mother’s Weibo, “Let me see if she cut her wrists or took vitamin tablets?”

Xia Xiang: “…jumping off the building.”

Hearing that, Zhao Pengyu’s mouth twitched, “The attic on the third floor of his house is the highest but with just a door and no windows. She has to go to the second floor if she wants to jump out of the window.”

Gu Ye frowned, he wouldn’t be worried if she planned to eat pills or cut her wrists. It’s hard to say if she wanted to jump from the building. It wouldn’t kill her if she fell from the second floor, but it would make those who scolded her even more guilty. With his little mother’s explosive temper, she might really have the guts to jump.

Gu Ye quickly called his mother, he has to stop it now!

[Banana – To be honest, I don’t get it when netizen call someone to go die. In my book, no one deserved to be pressured to die except for rap i st :v
The older I gets, the more I can’t get current netizen especially kpop netizen ^^;;]

Chapter 43 Internet Violence Part 1

The day before the start of the semester at Capital University, the school issued a notice online asking students to report to the school in advance, check in to the dormitory, apply for meal cards, etc. In short, before the official start of class, everyone should take care of all the basic necessities and processes. You can delay eating, but you cannot delay class.

Gu Ye brought his luggage a day earlier and was sent to the house bought for him by his parents. There are many school district houses near the school. Many college students rent houses here. The surrounding transportation is convenient, the living facilities are comprehensive, and there is a large supermarket at the entrance of the community. The most important thing is that it only takes 5 minutes to walk to school.

Gu Decheng is very satisfied with the house bought by his assistant. “Good, safety is the most important thing. I think the security work is also very good. In the morning, you should just sleep less and walk to school (instead of taking the car). Your living habits are too lazy. How can you, young man, not have a little perseverance?”

Gu Ye nodded obediently, “Dad, you are right.”

Gu Decheng nodded with satisfaction, “From now on, you will live by yourself This is considered adapting to society in advance. Try to solve everything by yourself, don’t rely on others. If you want to solve a problem with money, no problem but you have to earn the money yourself.”

President Gu’s philosophy in raising his son is: If you can solve things with money, you don’t have to do it yourself, but you have to use your brain to make the money first.

“Okay Dad, you’re right.”

President Gu is very pleased with his son’s obedience. After walking around the house, he can see that there are 3 bedrooms and 2 living rooms on the first floor. The side bed was used as a study room, and the assistant enthusiastically bought a whole study room of books, as well as a large desk where one could practice calligraphy. President Gu nodded with satisfaction, “Read often and cultivate your character.”

Gu Ye nodded mechanically, “Dad, everything you said is right.”

The third side bedroom is empty. The assistant’s idea is that whatever Gu Ye likes, he can help to buy it now and install it on the same day. It all depends on his personal preference. Gu Ye looked at his father’s face and said seriously, “Just buy me a few more bookshelves. No need to buy books. I’ll buy them myself.”

President Gu is very happy that his son likes to study more and more.

Mrs. Gu on the side thought of the banners and charms her son had secretly brought. She speechlessly went to the kitchen to have a look instead. For the sake of her husband’s blood pressure, it was better not to say anything.

“The kitchen supplies are all bought for you. If you don’t want to eat out, you can make them yourself.” After Mrs. Gu came out, she told Gu Ye, “I will send someone to fill your refrigerator every day and clean it for you… “

“It’s not like he doesn’t know how to find someone, so don’t worry about him.” Gu Decheng interrupted his wife, “He is an adult and can do his own thing. Don’t spoil him.”

Gu Ye smiled bitterly. So, why did his father send him to school personally when he had so many things to do? People say we are in the same world and have the same father. Gu Ye wonders if other people’s fathers are like this too. Like when the father is with the son, they will take the opportunity to teach their son about anything they see.

The second floor is still empty now and since Gu Ye lives by himself, it feels deserted. Mrs. Gu suggested, “How about you bring the dog to keep you company?”

President Gu rejected it seriously, “He comes here to attend school, what with raising dogs? Let’s talk about it after graduation.”

Gu Ye sighed, thinking that his thought was correct.

Mrs. Gu had no choice but to look at Gu Ye sympathetically and said, “Well, you live by yourself, pay attention to safety, and don’t bring bad children back. If you really like a girl, don’t mess around with her. If you don’t want to marry her, don’t let her stay overnight.”

Gu Ye almost collapsed, “Am I that kind of person?”

“I’m just telling you in advance. You have to find a normal girl to fall in love with, but you can’t hurt other people’s daughters. You are getting older and we can’t watch you anymore, but I will come to check on you from time to time. ” Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Ye’s face and added worriedly, “Be careful not to be deceived by the little vixens. Bad girls have better schemes now.”

Gu Ye simply wanted to kneel down to them, “Mom and Dad, let’s go to school quickly. It will take time to complete the procedures.”

“Okay, okay, we’ll stop talking.” Mrs. Gu sighed deeply, feeling extremely anxious.

Gu Ye walked to the door tiredly. At this moment, two people happened to come in carrying a big box. Gu Ye recognized it was his treasure and hurriedly said, “Move these things to the empty room. You don’t need to worry about the rest. I will clean it up when I come back.” After saying that, he turned around and put one arm around his father’s arm and the other around his little mother’s arm, dragging them out, “I’m late, I’m late! You two, hurry up!”

…

Capital University was founded in the early 19th century. It has experienced the most difficult years in modern China and has gone through ups and downs for more than a hundred years. It has developed into a world-class school covering an area of more than 6,000 acres and has cultivated countless outstanding talents for the country and the people. It can be said that those who can pass the exam have laid the foundation for their future lives. To be able to raise a child to be so outstanding, most families have a financial foundation.

In the parking lot near the school, you can see countless luxury cars. When Gu Decheng’s car was parked there, it still stood out from the crowd. As soon as the family of three got out of the car, they were stopped by reporters.

“It is said that your son is the top scorer in the science stream this year. Your son is so outstanding. Is there anything President Gu wants to say to his son?”

“I am a reporter from Huaxia Xuezi Network. Today, the two of us sent our children to school together. This is a rare opportunity. Let’s take a group photo in front of the school.”

“Does President Gu have any expectations for the future of his third son? Does he hope that he will set up his own company like his two brothers?”

“Which son will be President Gu’s successor? Will it be Old Third?”

…

Seeing several reporters gathered around him, Gu Decheng asked with a straight face, “Is it strange for a father to send his children to school? Where do so many questions come from?”

With just one sentence, the reporters could only laugh dryly at everything Gu Decheng said and didn’t dare to ask any more questions. However, they didn’t leave and followed behind Gu Decheng at a short distance, like a string of Calabash Brothers.

Gu Ye took out his admission notice and entered the school gate. He was immediately greeted by the reception desk to welcome the new students. Many seniors and senior students were explaining to the new students how to go, what to do first, and what to do next. For some students, their parents helped to take care of the process, but Gu Ye took the lead and did everything he had to do after asking some questions. He walked in front, followed by his parents, and then followed by reporters who sneaked in, attracting many students to look at them.

Considering his father’s age, Gu Ye found a resting place on the roadside of the school and said, “You guys sit here and wait for me. I will come back to you when I’m done. Let’s go out to eat at noon, so don’t run around.”

The couple doesn’t know if to laugh or cry. Gu Decheng waved his hand, “Do you think we are children? Go quickly!”

Gu Ye left with a smile.

Someone nearby secretly commented, “The long-awaited school grass is finally here! He is so handsome!”

“The smile is so beautiful, I feel the world is sweeter, my god! My heart is pounding!”

“That’s Gu Decheng! Papa Gu is very elegant. He’s 60 and has no gray hair yet! He looks like a charming uncle!”

“His mother is so beautiful and young!”

“Shhh! She is the stepmother and is nearly 20 years younger than Gu Ye’s father. How can she not be young?”

“Never mind whether she’s biological mother and stepmother, this is a living Gu Decheng that we’re talking about! Hurry and take a picture! Asking for Papa Gu’s blessing, please help me find a good job in the future!”

…

Papa Gu looked at the reporter sneaking over, and then at the students watching him secretly, and his expression immediately sank, “It’s so shameful for kids nowadays to casually call me dad! Are they all interested in Old Third? But he can only marry one! If he dares to mess with around, I will break his legs!”

Mrs. Gu took a sip of water and told her husband calmly, “You are thinking too much. They called other people their husbands, like the Yu family’s Yu Ze, the Dong family’s only son, and also our second son. As for Old Third, they called him little husband, and little boyfriend. Nowadays, young people are like this, you are too outdated.”

President Gu’s face turned dark, “That’s outrageous! Can they just casually call this? What a nonsense!”

Mrs. Gu was amused, hugged her husband’s arm, and praised, “Oh, you are so cute like this!”

President Gu’s face is darker, people are sick! Everyone is sick!*

[Banana: It doesn’t sound as harsh in Chinese, would it be better if I use the word mental instead?]

Soon, Gu Ye finished everything he had to do, and was in a hurry to go back when he heard someone shouting from behind, “Gu Ye? Are you Gu Ye?”

Gu Ye turned around and looked at the girl who was catching up with him with confusion. She had short hair and was dressed in a refreshing outfit. She didn’t look like a freshman so he asked, “Senior sister, are you looking for me?”

“You don’t recognize me?” The senior sister’s eyes widened and she pointed to herself sadly, “We met in the elevator. My name is Hang Siwen, and my mother’s surname is Wang. You helped to check the Feng Shui for my house and saved our family of four.”

Gu Ye suddenly said, “Oh, I remembered, you are Aunt Wang’s daughter, the one who called Zhao Pengyu a little bastard.”

Hang Siwen smiled sheepishly, “That’s because he was such an asshole when he was a child. Let’s not talk about him anymore. I would like to thank you first for saving my whole family. I am in the sophomore design department and I am also a member of the student union. You can come to me if you need anything in the future.” Hang Siwen took out a note from her pocket and wrote down her phone number, “My mobile phone number and WeChat number are the same, so don’t be shy to call.”

Gu Ye took it and said, “Thank you, senior sister.”

“By the way, since the incidents that happened to my family, I established a supernatural club. Do you want to join? I can give you the position of leader.”

Gu Ye smiled and said, “Thank you, senior sister, but I won’t participate.”

Hang Siwen looked disappointed and lost her energy to speak, “Well, then, just think about it again.”

While they were talking, Gu Ye found that he was being observed. Not only the freshmen but also the seniors were looking at him. Gu Ye suddenly felt that he made the right choice to live outside. Gu Ye hurriedly said goodbye to Hang Siwen and left. When he found his old father, Gu Ye found that his old father was also being looked at. Papa Gu’s face was very serious, and his little mother was trying to persuade him. As soon as they saw Gu Ye coming back, the couple stood up and asked, “Is it done?”

“It’s done.” Gu Ye said with a smile, “However, I may need to trouble you to make another trip. I was selected as the freshman representative and I have to speak at the freshman welcome meeting. The school invited my parents to attend. If you are not free, then just Mom can come too.”

Gu Decheng decided with a straight face, without thinking for a second, “Then let your Mom do it.”

Mrs. Gu was fine with the decision. Everyone who met her praised her for being young and good-looking. She didn’t mind making two extra trips. It was said that Capital University’s freshman welcome party and graduation ceremony had been very grand over the years, and the school would broadcast them live. Reporters from TV stations and major websites came to interview us, and even the national TV station paid great attention to it. At that time, major websites will also do live broadcasts of pictures and texts. Gu Ye will definitely be photographed in many close-ups, and as the mother of the representative of the new students, she will also be photographed. Mrs. Gu straightened her hair around her ears and said proudly, “Don’t worry, Mom won’t embarrass you.”

Gu Ye couldn’t help laughing and praised her, “Of course, my mother is the most beautiful in the world.”

“Oh! You kid, you are the only one who can talk!” Mrs. Gu squeezed Gu Ye’s face happily, her eyes narrowed with laughter.

Amused, Gu Ye looked at the time. It was already past 11.00 am. “Let’s go to eat. You guys can go back after the meal. I can do things by myself.”

Chapter 42 This Master Gu is still your Master Gu (superior) Part 2

As he was talking, Gu Ye was pulled into the group. There were more than 900 people in the group. Before anyone in the group could say anything about new people joining, Gu Ye sent out a big red envelope.

The red envelopes were all snatched up in the blink of an eye, and everyone in the group jumped out: [Who is the new guy? I managed to grab a 10 yuan!]

[Wow, so generous, I grabbed 12 yuan! Is the new guy a wealthy person?]

[New joiner, taking pictures together screenshot screenshot!]

[Whoa, adding an administrator right away. Does the new guy have a strong backer?]

Administrator: [Restrain yourself. Old Bai said this is our Majesty’s younger brother.]

There was silence for a few seconds in the group. Then a group of silly people posted emoticons of kneeling down, thanking the little Wangye for the reward.

The corner of Gu Ye’s mouth twitched. The style of this group… is a bit hard to describe. However, ‘When in Rome, do as the Romans do’ so he won’t pretend to be aloof either: [Hello, brother and sister, I have a long-term big deal that I want to do with you~]

Everyone in the group replied: [Aiyou~ Come on, hero, let’s first sign a contract worth 10 billion~~]

Gu Ye squinted his eyes and looked at Xie Cheng, “Do you know why your senior brother is acting however he likes?”

Xie Cheng shook his head, wondering what Gu Ye wanted to do.

“Because no one goes against him, he gets used to having the power.” Gu Ye sneered, “My senior brother didn’t want to sound him out at that time, not because he was afraid of him, but because he felt that there weren’t many people in the mystical world. If we continue to fight each other, we will only become more and more backward. Now it seems that he was wrong. The existence of Xuanshu Association is the executioner that kills the ideas of newcomers in the mystical world.”

Gu Ye secretly sent a message to the group: [Brothers and sisters! Let’s go to the official website of China Anti-Cult to report Xuanshu Association, this shameless organization with no brand! The rubbish president is an inhuman thing. He bullies his master, disgraces his ancestors, and beats his junior brother! Regardless of his junior brother’s well-being, he wanted to drag him out of the hospital bed! Also, check the official forum of the Xuanshu Association. Comments are scolding them. Come on warriors! Report them!]

[Red envelope!]

[Red envelope!]

[Red envelope!]

Gu Ye sent 3 more red envelopes in a row and wrote: [Report them once every day, and I will send you guys red envelopes every day. Brothers, rise up!]

This group is originally a group of navy who are not afraid of chaos in the world. They are the best at setting the rhythm of news and so on. After receiving the red envelope, everyone joyfully wrote:

[Isn’t it just filing a report? It’s easy to do, just have to move the mouse.]

[At times like this, there is still something called the Xuanshu Association. What do they do? It sounds very mysterious.]

[Brothers and sisters, go and report them!]

[You guys go report them first, and I will go to the forum to collect their information. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.]

[Okay, since you go to the forum to collect information, then I will go to the paparazzi to find out if there are any paparazzi who specialize in collecting news about this society. I need to get some information. Simply reporting it is of no use. To make the authorities believe it, there must be evidence.]

[That’s right! If they dare to quibble, confront them with evidence!]

…

This is a group of organized and disciplined navy. They will look for enough evidence and conduct investigations in advance before doing anything. Since Gu Ye said it was a cult, they went in that direction to search. Even if it’s just to showcase themselves in front of the boss’s brother, they have to work hard.

Not long after, they actually found some evidence. After taking screenshots of the forum, they compiled a long list of information and made it into a long Weibo post. Using a small account, they posted it on the Internet and then got someone to forward it.

All the facts prove that this is a feudal superstitious organization, with a boss, cadres, and a clear hierarchy.

Netizens who eat melon/popcorn at the side are not calm anymore: What age is this, and there is still such an organization? What are they doing? Why are there divisions of superiors and subordinates, just like a pyramid scheme?

After taking a closer look, people are flabbergasted. Many of the younger generation are orphans without parents. Isn’t this duping children to work? It really looks like a cult!

On that day, the Xuanshu Association’s forum was visited by a lot of passers-by. Coupled with the rhythm of the navy, everyone went to the China Anti-Cult official website to report it. Why does this kind of organization exist? Close it down, close it down!

The upper management of the Xuanshu Association was confused that day. They never thought that one day their association would step out of the circle and be scrutinized by countless netizens. Jing Lianzhong finally explained him clearly at the police station, but was dumbfounded by the report when he returned, “How did we attract the attention of so many netizens? Who did it?!”

The assistant was also very worried, “I don’t know, it looks like someone is setting the pace, maybe an organization. After all, individuals don’t have that much ability to push us out so quickly. Now I’m looking for someone to control the speech, but there was a group of people with very vicious mouths who kept making a comeback after every reply. It is uncontrollable.”

Jing Lianzhong grimaced, took off his glasses, and pinched his eyebrows, “We must suppress public opinion, otherwise things will be more troublesome later.”

Xie Cheng saw the trend on the Internet and admired Gu Ye, “Only rich people can think of this method. How much money do you have to have?”

Gu Ye smiled, “Poor people like you will never understand rich people. After I was admitted to college, my dad bought me a two-story villa directly next to the school. Are you envious?”

Xie Cheng palmed his forehead. He used to live in a dormitory, but now he lives at his Master’s house. He doesn’t even have the money to rent a room.

Gu Ye narrowed his eyes, “I can go out and help people look at their Feng Shui. The rich people can give me 1 million yuan, what about you?”

Xie Cheng covered his face and fell into despair. He used to take tasks from the association and receive a monthly salary after completing the work. He had never seen so much money, and he had no idea how much money they made for the association.

Gu Ye commented disdainfully, “Ignorant people, aren’t you all fools? Garbage association, It should be put down as soon as possible!”

Xie Cheng was puzzled, “Aren’t they almost finished with what you did?”

“It won’t end that easily. The association has been established for so many years, how can it not have some backers? But with this commotion, they will definitely be called for interviews/interrogation and get their activities checked. So for some time from now on, they don’t dare to look for you, and they don’t dare to go out.”

Gu Ye smiled evilly, “I want to make Jing Lianzhong bald with anger and make him eat shiet every day.”

As expected, Jing Lianzhong was quickly interviewed by the relevant departments. Various departments investigated him in various ways, and Jing Lianzhong was really almost bald after the investigation. If something happened in the past, Elder Tang would help him deal with it. As Elder Tang’s friend for many years, Elder Yu would also help. But this time, no one helped him.

The people from relevant departments asked, “What’s going on with you guys? What unscrupulous things did you do that prompted so many people to report you? You are an organization without a brand to begin with. On the other hand, Buddhism and Taoism are still recognized by the state. To become a Taoist priest and study Taoism, one needs a bachelor’s degree. You guys just get together in private and don’t do bad things, so I turn a blind eye and let you form an organization. Now people report you every day, and why does it sound like you are forming a cult? If this continues, you will be forcibly disbanded.”

Now, the entire Xuanshu Association’s top management is keeping their tail between their legs, while the young people at the bottom have noticed that the association is not going in the right direction. Coupled with the dissatisfaction accumulated in the past, another group of young people gave notice and left.

The entire Xuanshu Association was troubled by internal and external troubles and had no time to take care of itself.

…

Gu Ye finished his lunch and was lying on the bed scrolling through Weibo. Suddenly a message was sent to WeChat. Gu Ye clicked on it and raised the corners of his mouth.

Yu Ze: [Do you feel good after doing bad things?]

Gu Ye turned over and lay on the bed typing with both hands: [You know about it too?]

Yu Ze: [I know all the bad things you do.]

Gu Ye smiled and replied: [So powerful? Are you clairvoyant?]

Yu Ze: [I’ve been following your news.]

Gu Ye: [I’m so touched that you care about me so much.jpg]

Yu Ze: [What then?]

Gu Ye: [Then, thank you~]

Yu Ze, who was standing by the office window, stopped moving his fingers and didn’t know what to reply to that. After a while, Gu Ye sent another message: [President Yu, please send me a selfie!]

Yu Ze hesitated and replied: [?]

Gu Ye: [I want to use it as a screensaver in my phone to ward off evil spirits! And to obtain luck!]

The corners of Yu Ze’s mouth twitched, and his shoulders slumped.

Gu Ye: [President Yu, why didn’t you reply? Are you looking for a good angle? Just take a random photo, you look cool in whatever angle you take anyway!]

Seeing that, Yu Ze’s mouth curved up. Looking at the fat panda emoticon that Gu Ye sent, rolling around and acting cute, Yu Ze was finally amused and called out, “Secretary Liu?”

Secretary Liu, who was sorting out the meeting minutes, quickly raised his head and asked seriously, “Is there something you need me for, President Yu?”

Yu Ze’s expression darkened, and after holding it in for more than 10 seconds, he finally handed his cell phone to Secretary Liu.

Secretary Liu looked confused and didn’t dare to take it.

Yu Ze glared at his secretary with disdain, “Take a picture of me.”

“Ah?” Secretary Liu took the phone and reacted with, “Oh, do you want a photo for your ID?”

Yu Ze ‘tsk-ed’ and looked at Secretary Liu with more disdain, “No, make it more natural. I want to take a look after you take it.”

Secretary Liu was stunned for a while, and suddenly realized that President Yu might have been chatting with Master Gu, and instantly understood what Yu Ze meant, “I understand now! Got it!”

It means he should take a photo with the effect of an artistic blockbuster. It should show as handsome as his boss can be, also to look handsome and elegant! As an all-around secretary, Secretary Liu has decided to sign up for a photography class online when he goes back in the evening.

After Gu Ye received the photo, he was in a trance for a moment. In the photo, there is a side view of Yu Ze. The man standing by the window is looking at the camera, with the blue sky behind him, and his slim-fitting white shirt is clean and spotless. Gu Ye thinks that Yu Ze is the best-looking person he has ever seen wearing a white shirt. He perfectly interprets the clean and cool temperament of the color white. Gu Ye suddenly felt his heart thump for a moment, feeling moved by Yu Ze’s temperament and appearance.

“Him looking like this is really tempting people to commit a crime.” Gu Ye looked at it, raised the corner of his mouth, and decisively set this photo as a screensaver. Sure enough, Yu Ze has a better temperament and looks better than those celebrities!

After Gu Ye admired his screensaver for a while, he got up from the bed. Standing on the bed, he held up the phone with both hands and moved up and down, making a praying gesture, “Oh spirited Heavens and earth, take the blessing from Brother Yu Ze and make everyone in Xuanshu Association bald!”

After saying that, Gu Ye looked at Yu Ze’s face again and laughed out loud. He knew that Yu Ze would never have thought that he would actually use his photo to worship God. He was so amused just from thinking about it, “Hahahahahaha ~~”

Mrs. Gu knocked on Gu Ye’s unlocked door, “Kid, have you gone crazy?! If you can’t sleep (nap), come with me to the mall now.”

“Oh.” Gu Ye lazily slipped out of the bed.

Looking at Gu Ye’s appearance, Mrs. Gu said with disdain, “Change your clothes first.”

“Why? What’s wrong with this outfit?” Gu Ye looked at his comfortable vest and didn’t understand what was wrong with it.

“It doesn’t look good, it’s a waste of your good body.” Mrs. Gu picked out a set of blue and white striped clothes from Gu Ye’s wardrobe, “Wear this, hurry up!”

Gu Ye put it on tiredly. Just as he was about to go out, his phone rang again.

Yu Ze: [Where’s yours?]

Gu Ye blinked and replied: [What?]

Yu Ze: [I also want to use your photo as screensavers to ward off evil spirits and disasters.]

Feeling amused and thinking that Yu Ze was joking with him, Gu Ye casually took a photo of him baring his teeth and making a face: [Take it, my nickname is Scary Ghost, I will scare others to death!]

What Gu Ye didn’t expect was that after Yu Ze received his photo, he stared at it for a while. After that, the corner of his lips curved up as he set it as a screensaver.

…

After changing their clothes, Gu Ye and Gu Yang followed his mother to the mall to buy things for Gu Ye to go to school. According to Mrs. Gu, since he is going to a new school, everything must be new, including clothes, shoes, bedding, backpacks, suitcases… including all daily necessities, all needs to buy new ones.

Gu Ye and Gu Yang are 2 bag carrier. Mrs. Gu is obviously a regular customer here. The salesperson greets her when she sees her. Whenever Mrs. Gu meet someone on the way, she will proudly say ‘They are my sons, which attracts a lot of admiration like, “Your sons are so handsome and you are so young, you don’t even look like you are the mother of two children.”

Mrs. Gu was so happy that her high heels clicked loudly as she walked. Gu Ye and Gu Yang were like two coolies, their bodies covered with bags. Mrs. Gu didn’t even look back and continued to be happy with herself.

Gu Ye and his brother looked at each other and sighed feebly. They just wanted to call the woman in front, ‘Madam, you lost your poor child. Please turn back to look for them!’

After shopping all afternoon, they bought everything. The two brothers were too tired to talk. After dinner, Mrs. Gu packed Gu Ye’s bag. As she packed it, she muttered, “You are sure my son. See, I have to pack your bags for you.” The implication is that you have remembered that I have been so kind to you.

Gu Ye nodded feebly while holding a bagua, and said perfunctorily, “I love you, Mom.”

Mrs. Gu moved her hands for a moment, then turned around and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you tired?”

Gu Ye gave a dull sigh, “Yeah, I’m tired. But on the other hand, I just tried to see the fortune telling for me 5 times now, and whatever I calculated wasn’t very good.”

Mrs. Gu asked with a scared tone, “What’s wrong? What is not good?”

Gu Ye frowned, “I can’t figure it out specifically. It’s just that when I go to school, there will be eyes peeping at me. I don’t feel good.”

Mrs. Gu thought for a while and comforted, “Don’t be afraid. Your father and I will send you to school together. See who dares to bully you? Maybe there is a little girl who has a crush on you. If not, just kidnap one back.”

Gu Ye held his forehead and just wanted to say, can you be more reliable?!

Chapter 42 This Master Gu is still your Master Gu (superior) Part 1

In the hospital ward, a man in his forties, wearing glasses and with a very elegant temperament, sat beside Xie Cheng’s bed. He advised with a gentle face, “Junior brother, go back to Xuanshu Association. Master has left, and you left too. I don’t even have anyone close to me anymore.”

Xie Cheng was playing the game with an expressionless face. Because the screen of his mobile phone was cracked, it always lags when playing. He tapped his mobile phone angrily and said impatiently, “Aren’t the people who came with you all your confidants?”

“It’s still not as close as a senior and junior brothers. I watched you grow up.”

Xie Cheng didn’t even raise his head, “We all grew up under Master’s care. We are all orphans raised by Master. He is old and has to have someone around him to take care of him.”

Jing Lianzhong clicked his tongue and said dissatisfied, “What kind of words are you saying? I didn’t say I wouldn’t provide him with old-age care. I went to see him yesterday but he was angry and didn’t want to see me.” As he spoke, his expression became increasingly lonely.

Xie Cheng raised his eyes and sneered. It was the first time that he felt that his senior brother was so hypocritical. After knowing each other for so many years, seeing him become like this made Xie Cheng feel suffocated.

“Senior brother, if you really don’t want Master to worry about you, just disband this association. We all know what you have done in the past few years.

This association was originally created with the intention of bringing friends from the mystical arts world together. Everyone makes friends, learns mystical arts together, and has each other’s back when we go out to fight evil. But now, team formation is not up to us to choose, it is set by the higher management, and everything must be done according to your rules.

I can understand that there must be some rules to keep everything going in order. Like how a chat group needs group rules, but you can’t go too far. Now, even what skills we learn are dictated by you!

Heh! Each clan and each sect is different in terms of skills. If we keep things like this, how many Taoist techniques will be lost? Are you planning to unify the mystical world and become the boss?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Jing Lianzhong’s expression changed after being told that. “If I don’t care, someone will use mystical skills to harm others. Were there not many people who used mystical arts to kill people in the past? We set rules for newcomers to not learn forbidden arts, but to learn orthodox methods, all to protect the normal citizens.”

Xie Cheng chuckled, completely chilled by this sanctimonious explanation, “You sure have good intentions.”

Jing Lianzhong’s face darkened and he lost his patience, “Stop losing your temper and come back with me. We have a doctor there who specializes in treating injuries like yours.”

“You want to take me back… oh, I know why,” Xie Cheng stopped what he was doing and asked with a straight face, “Those young people who get along well with me, many of them quit, right? It’s really not that I did anything behind your back, it’s that young people don’t want to do this with you anymore. Senior brother, you just continue to do your thing. Master’s heart has become cold. If some problems happen the next time, he won’t help to ‘wipe your butt’ (help to settle problem).”

Jing Lianzhong’s expression became increasingly ugly and he became angry, “Do you really not want to go back?”

Xie Cheng lay down on the bed, “My friend sent me to such a high-end private hospital and paid my medical bills. I stayed in a single ward, had patient meals 3 times a day, and had a beautiful nurse sister to take care of me. Why should I go back with you? I’m not stupid!”

“Okay! You don’t come back with me and want to continue hanging out with some shady people, huh? Old Li!”

The person waiting outside the door heard this and quickly opened the door, “Are you done talking?”

Jing Lianzhong said with a cold face, “Take this disobedient naughty kid back to me!”

The two people looked at each other at the door and had to come in to pull Xie Cheng, “Just listen to your senior brother, stop losing your temper, and come back with us.”

“Why should I go back with you? I have already quit the association!”

Xie Cheng is also a stubborn person and his anger rapidly rose. He is usually carefree, but when in a disagreement, even 9 cows can’t pull him back. He grabbed the bedboard and raised his foot to kick someone, “Either you kill me today and take my body back, or you all get out of here. If I say I won’t go back, I won’t go back! If Master doesn’t go back, I will never go back!”

“Aiya! Don’t touch him!” At this moment, the nurse who had been secretly observing the development of the matter ran in. She pushed away the man who tried to pull Xie Cheng and said angrily, “What are you doing? The patient’s illness has not recovered yet. He has fractured ribs. What if the fracture gets larger if you make such a big move?”

The man surnamed Li impatiently pushed the little nurse, “This is our personal matter, please get out of the way.”

The man’s hand was heavy, and the little nurse was really thin. She staggered after being pushed, and her leg hit the leg of the table next to her. Her eyes turned red from the pain. Seeing that, Xie Cheng immediately became anxious. He got up from the bed and took out the whip from under the pillow.

Jing Lianzhong slapped the table angrily, “You really wanted to fight with me? Such a rebellion!”

“So what if really start to fight with you? I’ll see who dares to take him away today.”

Suddenly such chilly words came from the door, and everyone turned to look in the direction of the door. Jing Lianzhong’s eyes darkened, “Gu Ye?”

“President Jing seems to have checked my information and knows who I am. Could it be that my senior brother appeared in the dream of a loser like you?” Gu Ye raised the corner of his mouth, saying what the other party didn’t like to hear.

Sure enough, when Jing Lianzhong heard ‘my senior brother’, his expression was extremely complicated.

After Gu Ye came in, he looked at the nurse and said softly, “Sister, please go out first. If not, later when the fight starts, you might get bitten by some beasts. Scumbags, they don’t know how to show mercy to women.”

The person behind Jing Lianzhong asked angrily, “Who are you calling a beast?”

“Whoever answers my word is the beast then.” Gu Ye supported Xie Cheng and asked him to lie back. “You dare to get up and jump around even though you are injured. Just lie down now. Staying for one more day in the hospital will cost a lot of money.”

Earlier during the scuffle, Xie Cheng’s ribs were bumped, and now his face turned pale in pain. But when he saw that Gu Ye had arrived, he finally had a smile on his face and lay down with a grin.

Jing Lianzhong’s expression turned even uglier, his junior brother actually made friends with Gu Ye’s junior brother!

Gu Ye raised his eyes, “What? You want to kidnap people in bright daylight?”

Jing Lianzhong narrowed his eyes and said politely, “Xie Cheng is my junior brother, how can you say kidnapping?”

Gu Ye looked at Jing Lianzhong mockingly, “I heard that he grew up under your nose. If you are really good to him, how can you ignore his life and death? What a scumbag!”

Everyone behind Jing Lianzhong turned their backs, “Why are you scolding people?”

“What’s wrong with scolding you? I’m going to call the police to arrest you even!” Gu Ye stood up and looked at the three people opposite him with burning eyes. “Do you know who owns this hospital? The chairman of this hospital is Old Master Yu’s eldest daughter. Do you think that if you want to kidnap a patient, the Yu family can forgive you? Ms. Yu’s father-in-law passed away just two years ago, and he was an honorable old soldier. You making trouble with the Zhao family, are you not afraid that the old man will lead his soldier brothers to annihilate you scumbags in the middle of the night?”

“You!”

“You little brat know nothing!”

The 3 people’s faces turned red with anger at Gu Ye’s sharp words, and they couldn’t say a single word of quibble. They really didn’t dare to offend the Yu family and the Zhao family.

Xuanshu Association, after all, is a private establishment. There are only a few people in this industry, and most of them are homeless and unemployed. Wealthy families have complicated relationships and have deep economic strength. If they confront these wealthy families, they don’t know what the consequences will be.

At this moment, the little nurse opened the door and walked in with 2 policemen in plain clothes. The little nurse said excitedly, “It’s them! They are going to take the patient away!”

As soon as they saw the tense atmosphere in the room, a policewoman walked in first and asked with a cold face, “What’s going on?”

Gu Ye looked outside and raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, it is an acquaintance.

The policewoman also recognized Gu Ye and asked with complicated emotions, “It’s you again? What trouble did you encounter this time?”

Gu Ye stood up, ran over in a few steps, and pointed pitifully at the 3 old men opposite, “Sister policewoman, this is the person! He is going to take my friend away!”

The policewoman’s pretty eyes turned cold, “Seems like there are forceful actions here. Tell me clearly what happened.”

Gu Ye’s face-changing technique within a second stunned everyone in the room. Jing Lianzhong and the others couldn’t react and didn’t know how to explain themselves. Just now, Gu Ye was still being sarcastic and cursing people arrogantly. His mouth is as poisonous as arsenic, spitting out everything you don’t like to listen to. Now that the police are here, he has become a poor little kid being bullied? How the hell was this done?!

Xie Cheng’s eyes widened as well, and he was shocked to see his newly made wealthy friend turn into an actor in a second, and he was a little unable to react.

Gu Ye was filled with indignation and stamped his feet angrily, “My friend has gastroenteritis and can’t live without the toilet (keeps pooping). He will definitely poop his pants if forcibly taken out, and they don’t even think about it! These 3 scumbags! Does it look good for such a big kid to poop his pants?!”

Xie Cheng held his stomach and choked for breath, unable to speak a word.

“And here!” Gu Ye pointed to his ribs, “My friend has a fracture here! The bone may break if he moves it! It’s going to penetrate the heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and lungs, these inhuman scums! They want to kill him!”

Jing Lianzhong and the others opened their mouths, but the 3 old men didn’t say a word. Gu Ye seemed to have said everything right, but none of the darned words seemed reliable!

The policeman’s face became colder and colder, and he asked Xie Cheng rationally, “Do you know them?”

Xie Cheng responded, “I know them, but I don’t want to go with them.” When Xie Cheng saw Gu Ye smiling at him, he became excited. He hugged the bedboard and shouted, “I’m still sick! He insists on taking me back! I already said I don’t want to join his organization!”

“Organization? What’s going on?”

Gu Ye whispered, “Who knows what kind of weird organization it is, with a president and cadres? My friends already said he wouldn’t go but he sent people to catch him. Are they bullying him because he’s an orphan without a father? If they are that powerful, then they can catch me! I have a father, and my father is Gu Decheng!”

Jing Lianzhong and the others were lucky that they didn’t lash out in anger at Gu Ye’s words. In their hearts, they were thinking that if your father hadn’t been for Gu Decheng, they would have hit this trouble-making child! Gu Ye said between the lines that they were a cult or a pyramid scheme association. How the hell could they explain this?

“Comrade police, it’s not what you think,” Jing Lianzhong’s face turned red in anger and he explained through gritted teeth, “We are from the Xuanshu Association.”

“There is no need to explain here. You can come with us and explain carefully what kind of organization you are at the police station. Also, why do you dare to come to the hospital to grab people?”

“We really don’t know anything about a cult! This female comrade, Why don’t you listen to the explanation?”

The policewoman smiled, “Explanation? I only look at the evidence. Take them away!”

The policeman behind opened the door and said, “Stop talking nonsense and go. Let’s not talk about whether there are any problems in your organization, just for coming to the hospital to cause trouble, I have to take you back for re-education.”

Gu Ye watched as the men were being taken away. Standing by the door with his head sticking out, his eyes are smiling like beautiful crescent moons, “Sister policewoman is so handsome!”

The policewoman took two steps and paused when she heard Gu Ye’s words. She turned around and came back, “We have caught all those scum, and the criminal records have been sent to the court. They will all pay with blood. Thank you for discovering those children. If it weren’t for you, these children would have been buried in that yard for who knows how many years.”

The smile on Gu Ye’s face gradually faded, and he said seriously, “Thank you for your hard work. The children must have been reincarnated and will have a good life in the next life.”

“Yes.” The policewoman nodded vigorously as if to comfort herself.

After Gu Ye saw them off, he closed the door and curved his lips in relief. Looking at Xie Cheng who looked disappointed, Gu Ye shook his head and asked helplessly, “Friend, are you stupid? How can you still be bullied by them?”

Xie Cheng was stunned for a while, “Friend, you are really awesome!”

Xie Cheng no longer knows how to praise Gu Ye, he can only wordlessly give him a thumbs up.

Gu Ye sneered, “Do you think this is the end? You are too naive, how could I just let them go?”

Gu Ye took out his cell phone and called his second brother, “Second brother, lend me your company’s public relations department. Please give me their contact information.”

In less than half a minute, Gu Lin replied with a contact card of someone named Bai Zuo, manager of the public relations department. The management of Gu Lin Company is relatively young so the manager is about the same age as Gu Lin.

Gu Ye immediately added the other party as a friend with a sidenote: Gu Lin’s younger brother Gu Ye.

The other party didn’t dare to hesitate and quickly added Gu Ye. Next, he puzzledly sent a message: [Third Young Master?]

Gu Ye: [Manager Bai, are your navy all from an organization?]

[Banana – I think by now, a lot of you know what internet water army means ya so I’m not going to explain. Just that this keyword is a bit long and mouthful so Banana is going to use the word navy instead.]

Bai Zuo: [Third Young Master, what you mean is…]

Watching the other party carefully testing his intention, Gu Ye felt inexplicably that he was a naughty kid who loved to get into trouble. He replied to the other party: [You don’t have to worry about me doing anything bad, I just want to hire them to report a cult.]

Bai Zuo: [There is a WeChat group. They are all reliable and have been working with our company for several years.]

Gu Ye: [That’s great, please add me to the group, thank you.]

Bai Zuo: [Third Young Master, are you really not fooling around?]

Gu Ye: [Am I the kind of ignorant bastard?]

Bai Zuo then agreed: [Okay, little Master, please think twice before doing anything so that us little ones won’t be implicated!]

Gu Ye smiled and replied: [Okay~]

Xie Cheng asked seriously, “What did you do before to make him be so guarded against you?”

Gu Ye shook his head innocently, “I don’t know, maybe he thinks I’m still young and is afraid that I’m unreliable.”

Xie Cheng chuckled, his face saying ‘Yeah sure, like I believe you’.

Chapter 41 What is a Ghost Festival without a fight with ghosts? Part 2

On the grass in the suburbs, a young man with yellow hair was holding a long whip and fighting with 3 evil spirits. A hanged ghost with a droopy tongue, a black-faced ghost more than 2 meters tall, and a purple-faced ghost shrouded in evil aura. These 3 ghosts have all eaten souls before and are extremely evil. After being wounded by the whip, the Hanged Ghost rushed to the roadside, grabbed an innocent ghost, and started gnawing on it.

The young man cursed and jumped up from the ground. Quickly rushing over, the young man jumped up and flicked his whip. A cracking sound broke through the air, and the whip slashed at the hand of the Hanged Ghost. The ghost screamed and let go of the poor passerby ghost. Then, the young man felt the evil energy coming from the back of his head and ducked in a hurry. At the next moment, a black ghost hand struck at his neck again.

The young man cursed and hurriedly dodged, throwing a piece of talisman paper over, “Do you think Laozi can’t fight in close combat? Instant Noodle Superman is omnipotent!”

The tall ghost who had been hiding aside to watch the fight flew over and kicked the young man while he was dodging other attacks. This kick was a solid kick to the stomach. The young man rolled several times on the spot in agony and lay on the ground with his face flushed in pain. At this moment, the Hanged Ghost lay on top of him and grabbed his head, greedily trying to pull out his soul. The souls of people in the mythical world are much more delicious than ordinary people, and eating them can increase soul power. In their eyes, this young man is a delicious piece of cake.

The young man sneered and bit the tip of his tongue. After that, he turned to spit at the ghost, “spits You 3 turtle weaklings!”

As soon as blood was sprayed from the tip of his tongue, a cloud of black smoke immediately appeared from the Hanged Ghost’s body, and he was seriously injured. The young man got up and rushed forward again with a whip, “Is Laozi someone you can eat whenever you want?!”

“Stop the car!” As soon as Gu Ye saw this scene, he left a few charms for the people in the car and said hurriedly, “Just watch from the car, don’t get out of the car! Whoever approaches just slap them with the talismans!”

“Gu Ye!” Zhao Pengyu held up the talisman and wanted to go down to help. He pushed the car door, but it didn’t push.

“Uncle, open the door!”

The driver looked innocent, “I didn’t lock it!”

Xia Xiang looked at the situation outside and said, “What can you do if you go down there? You can’t see them anyway.”

Zhao Pengyu gave Xia Xiang the talisman, “You can see it, so you go!”

Xia Xiang explained calmly, “Gu Ye locked the door because he didn’t want us to get in the way. One is not afraid of godlike opponents, but afraid of idiot teammates. We can’t ‘pit’ our teammates.”

Only then did Zhao Pengyu calm down, lying next to the window and watching in fear.

Gu Ye rushed over, flicked the talisman prepared in his hand, and it flew towards the Hanged Ghost on top of the young man. The Hanged Ghost hurriedly blocked it with his fist. The thin piece of paper made a BANG upon touching the ghost’s hand, and sparks flew everywhere. At this moment’s pause, the young man swung the whip over and wrapped it around the ghost’s head.

Gu Ye pinched his fingers and chanted, “Big Dipper stars, the God of Thunder descends! Break!”

A flash of purple lightning struck directly on the evil ghost’s head, and the ghost’s head exploded right away. The remaining body twitched twice in response and turned into a wisp of smoke.

“Aiya! I’m sorry!” Gu Ye quickly apologized, “That’s a bit harsh! Dude, you are from the Xuanshu Association, right? Are you planning to capture him back?”

The other party probably didn’t expect that Gu Ye would have such strong spiritual power at such a young age. With just a finger sign, he could summon a powerful thunder, which directly destroyed the evil ghost’s soul to pieces. After he came back to his senses, the young man said happily, “I’m not from the association. Today is the Ghost Ghost Festival, these evil ghosts took advantage of the door opening and rushed out to eat ghosts and harm people. They deserve to be destroyed, so don’t worry about it.”

Oh, our opinions matched!

Gu Ye’s eyes lit up, “You take the one who was poisoned, and give me the tall one!”

“Okay!” The guy stretched out his hand neatly and swung a long whip in a simple and rough manner. Wrapping up that eye-provoking ugly ghost, he dragged him 2 meters away. The distance between him and Gu Ye is just enough to take care of each other without affecting each other’s actions.

Gu Ye glanced back, slightly twitching the corner of his mouth but his movements were not sloppy either. With a jump, he kicked the ghost in the face and the evil spirit flew away more than 2 meters. He made a finger gesture with one hand, held a cinnabar pen in the other, and drew a red line in the air. With a swish, the evil ghost was struck by lightning and then pulled to his feet. Gu Ye’s face remained unchanged as he stomped him in the head, and another evil spirit was gone.

The same goes for the young man, who tied the ghost’s head with his whip and stomped it to death. After destroying these 3 evil spirits, the young man plopped down on the ground. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, grabbed a handful of his dyed golden hair, and said cheerfully, “Sure enough, after leaving the association, the world became wider. I haven’t seen a compatible fellow master like you for a long time.”

Gu Ye was about to speak when he felt a powerful and complex ghostly energy suddenly coming out not far away. The young man obviously felt it as well, and his expression changed, “Frick! Have all the ghost officials in the underworld gone for a ‘massage’? Evil ghosts also can escape, tonight there will be a night parade of a hundred ghosts!”

Feeling this ghostly energy, the little ghosts hiding in the dark shivered in fear and ran away without knowing where to go. At this moment, a black shadow that was lying against the ground pounced, grabbing one of the ghosts and stuffing it into its mouth.

Gu Ye threw a talisman and saved the innocent ghost, his expression turned cold. Another talisman was thrown over, and lightning danced on his fingertips. With one flick, the lightning pierced through the evil ghost’s forehead, and he watched as the evil ghost turned into a plume of smoke.

The young man took a look at Gu Ye with admiration. Then he took out something like a bagua and did a calculation. After that, he said with an ugly expression, “There is actually a Hell’s Gate here. Are all the people in the Xuanshu Association dead and no one is guarding it?”

Gu Ye answered seriously: “They probably went for a ‘massage’.”

“Pfft! That makes sense!” The young man held his stomach, “Can we hold on? These are evil spirits who can kill people.”

Gu Ye smiled, “We can hold it, but I have a request.”

The young man smiled bitterly, “Say it.”

Gu Ye narrowed his eyes, “I excelled in 10 subjects this year and ranked first in the country in the college entrance examination. My hands are not weak when playing games, and I can carry with Mage character. There are 4 brothers in the family, except for the youngest, all of them are excellent. My family had nothing but money, and the Rolls-Royce on the roadside belonged to my father.”

Hearing that, the young man was stunned. When he saw the car, he exclaimed in shock, “Frick! A rich man made of pure gold!”

Gu Ye continued seriously, “My buddy thinks I am too autistic and have no friends in the mythical art circle. So I would like to ask, after we finish fighting together, can you be friends with me?”

“Ah?” The young man didn’t expect Gu Ye to introduce himself in such a long way just to make friends with him. He accepted happily, “Okay, my name is Xie Cheng, what’s your name?”

“Gu Ye.”

“You are that Gu Ye?” Xie Cheng doesn’t know if to laugh or cry, “This world is so small. Alright, we will be friends from now on. I will call you when we go out fighting!”

Gu Ye nodded, “Okay.”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, like two crazy people. They were like with a fight, we will be friends.

Another strong aura of resentment appeared. Xie Cheng looked in the direction pointed by the bagua and said, “There’s the gate of hell!”

Gu Ye followed behind Xie Cheng. Pinching the bell on his left wrist while running, he pulled out the piece of paper that was acting like a stopper. As Gu Ye moves, the bells jingle and make a tinkling sound. To ordinary people, the tinkling sounded normal but those in the mythical art world, they can hear the sound that shakes their souls. Even the lonely ghosts on the roadside looked at Gu Ye.

Xie Cheng held the whip and asked in surprise, “You raise ghosts?” This is the art of controlling ghosts?”

In Hell’s Gate, a strong evil aura floated out. Xie Cheng didn’t have time to question Gu Ye further and just grabbed his whip and said vigilantly, “Be careful, this one is not a small fry. Xuanshu Association probably really doesn’t have enough manpower so no one has come yet.”

Gu Ye chuckled and pulled Xie Cheng back a few steps. Xie Cheng was startled, “Stop making trouble, that powerful one just came out!”

At this moment, a ghostly aura heavily weighed down at the back of their heads. The heavy murderous aura suffocated the two of them, making them stand stiffly on the spot, unable to move. Xie Cheng’s pupils shrank, and his mind went blank. He only had one thought in his mind, how many people had this ghost killed while he was alive to have such murderous intent?

The ghostly energy flew past the two of them and struck hard on the door. An evil ghost who just appeared got KO-ed by this ghostly energy!

In the blink of an eye, a tall and slender man wearing black clothes and holding a big knife stood in front of the gate. He raised the knife horizontally and said in a hoarse voice, “Stand behind me.”

Hearing this, the corner of Gu Ye’s mouth raised, “This is not the ghost I raised, but the golden thigh I held.”

Ghost General visibly turned still but didn’t say anything. He stood in front of the gate and struck down any ghost that came out. He was ruthless and didn’t talk much, so he was very reliable. The ghosts inside probably saw that the gatekeeper was too fierce, and gradually no ghosts dared to come out.

When Xie Cheng saw that he had such a strong helper, he relaxed and sat down on the ground again, shouting bitterly, “Gu Ye!”

“En?”

“I think I might have internal bleeding.”

Gu Ye was shocked, this was a serious injury! He quickly helped the person up, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?! Brother Ghost, can I leave this place to you?”

Ghost General nodded slightly, “Don’t worry.”

“Okay! I’ll give you one billion hell’s notes when I go back!” After Gu Ye finished speaking, he helped Xie Cheng run toward the car. Zhao Pengyu and Xia Xiang saw it, “Hurry, hurry, pick him up!”

Gu Ye put Xie Cheng, who was pale and sweating in pain, into the car and introduced with a smile, “Look, my new friend.”

Zhao Pengyu and Xia Xiang were speechless. Making friends is not that easy alright?!

They hurriedly sent Xie Cheng to the hospital run by Zhao Pengyu’s family. After the examination, it was already past midnight. There was nothing broken in Xie Cheng’s stomach, and there was no internal bleeding. It’s just that his daily life habits are too rubbish and he often makes do with instant noodles, which leads to gastroenteritis. Moreover, two of his ribs were slightly fractured, so he would have to stay in the hospital for a few days.

Gu Ye helped his new friend pay for his medical expenses with a blank expression.

With an IV drip by his side, Xie Cheng asked sheepishly, “Boss, we are really friends, right? Not ghey friends, right?”

Gu Ye took a photo of the receipt and saved it. He then placed the bill on Xie Cheng’s bed and reminded him seriously, “When you get better, remember to return the money to me. So add me on WeChat.”

Xie Cheng smiled dryly and took out an old mobile phone with a broken screen, “I will definitely pay you back, hehehe.”

Gu Ye palmed his forehead in despair. That strange ‘thing’ that he couldn’t calculate yesterday might be just talking about him making a friend and gaining friendship. However, he really had the urge to return this friendship for a refund!

Xie Cheng’s character is faultless, open-minded, and cheerful. He looks carefree on the outside, but he has justice in his heart. Moreover, he also values feelings and loyalty, so he will never suffer a loss by being friends with him. But! Xie Cheng is poor, extremely poor!

Yesterday he couldn’t see clearly due to the darkness. He could only see that Xie Cheng had good features and good character, but he didn’t see that Xie Cheng had no aura of wealth at the top of his head. People who don’t have even a shred of wealth on their heads, how poor can they be?!

Gu Ye had a premonition that he would have to help this poor guy for the rest of his life.

…

The next morning, Mrs. Gu asked in a gossipy tone, “How was your outing last night?”

Gu Ye looked numb and said, “Very good.”

“Are there pretty little girls?”

“There is a dude who spends my money instead.”

At the side, Gu Decheng said seriously, “Don’t hang out with shady people!”

“Mhm.” Gu Ye didn’t sleep well last night and didn’t have the strength to object.

Seeing Gu Ye like this, Mrs. Gu said, “After breakfast, take a nap and pack your things in the afternoon. School is about to start. If you need anything else, I’ll take you to buy it.”

Gu Ye nodded obediently, “En.”

As soon as Gu Ye lay down on his bed, the hospital called him. The nurse said anxiously, “A few people came just now and wanted to take your friend away. Your friend doesn’t want to go with them and is making a commotion.”

Gu Ye frowned, “Who are they?”

“I heard Xie Cheng call that person Senior Brother and also said he was the president of some kind of metaphysical society. It looks like an organization. Should we call the police?”

Gu Ye sat up, frowned, and thought for a while. The current president of the Xuanshu Association is Jing Lianzhong, Old Master Tang’s great disciple. So, is Xie Cheng the disciple of Old Master Tang?

“Do it, call the police now. To try to take people away in the hospital, they are thinking they are so powerful.” Gu Ye got up and put on his shoes with a cold face, “I’ll be there in a minute.”

…

Xie Cheng: It’s not that I don’t make money, or that Master doesn’t give me pocket money. I don’t know why, it’s just that I don’t have any money in hand. ​
Meow (Author): What a coincidence. It’s not that I don’t make money, or that my husband doesn’t give me pocket money. I don’t know why, it’s just that I don’t have any money in hand.

[Banana: Apologies for the slow updates. I’m not stopping, that’s for sure but it’s a bit hard for me to concentrate when every chapter has 6k–7k word count orz
My attention span can’t handle that much and I keep zoning out (I have to read them at least 3 times, if anyone remember my translation process).]

Chapter 41 What is a Ghost Festival without a fight with ghosts? Part 1

At the Class 6 dinner party, several girls gathered together and whispered, “I heard that Gu Ye will come too.”

“Alas! We will see each other less often. From now on, he will be someone else’s school grass (idol). Why didn’t we realize that Gu Ye was so good-looking?”

A young man at the table next to them curled his lips disdainfully, “Our gathering of normal civilians, will that young master be so generous as to give face and show up?”

When the young man said this, another young man expressed his interest, “Is Gu Ye really Gu Decheng’s son? Can he give us a discount when we buy a house from him?”

“Isn’t he just a rich second generation, what’s so great about him? Can you guys be more realistic?” The young man continued sarcastically, “He was pretending before, just like a little fool. Who knows what he has been through at home.”

These young people have yet to enter the society and have not experienced the suffering of the world. Boys of this age are always a little aloof and arrogant. They think that money is nothing, and being rich is not a great thing. To them, the term rich second generation is associated with garbage.

Several girls rolled their eyes with disdain, “Are you sick?! Jealous faces are so ugly.”

“Jealousy will turn one’s face beyond recognition!”

The boy retorted harshly, “You gold-worshipping girls are so shameless!”

“What did you say?!” Several girls were angry and wanted to start an argument, but the people next to them persuaded them to stop. Let’s cherish this last gathering. Don’t end it ugly and leave regrets.

Originally Xia Xiang was sitting quietly looking at his mobile phone. When he heard the conversation, he raised his head and asked the person directly, “Then, Gu Ye ranked first in the country and set a record. Cao Ziming, can you do the same?”

Cao Ziming was choked by the rebut. Thinking about his score, he became a little timid and said, “I won’t tell you, you rich second-generation are all the same.”

Xia Xiang sneered and picked up a cup of Coke, “Any more nonsense from you again and I’ll empty this on you. Then you’ll learn what it means by ‘bullying others with power’.”

“You…”

“Stop the quarrel, stop the quarrel! Everyone, talk lesser. We don’t know if we can get together again like this in the future.”

The classmates around helped break up the fight, but they didn’t dare to reprimand Xiang Xiang. Right now, Xiang Xiang’s temperament has really changed. He used to be timid, dared not speak, and his voice was like whispers as if there was danger everywhere in the world. Now he just gets angry at disagreement and even dares to throw a drink at people when he gets upset. His temper is really affected by whoever he hangs with, which is really similar to Gu Ye.

The monitor whispered to Cao Ziming to comfort him, “Don’t keep harping about the topic of the rich second generation. In the past 3 years, Gu Ye has eaten in the same cafeteria as you, slept in the same dormitory room without air conditioning, and has not bullied you. Right now, it’s just Xia Xiang has heard this and he just said a few words to you. If Si Hongxing’s group of boys heard this and punched you twice, you would have to bear it whether you like it or not. Why bother?”

Cao Ziming’s face turned red with anger, “How about that thing about Lin Zihao?!”

Hearing that, the class monitor was also a little unhappy. He felt that this person who doesn’t listen to advice is not very smart. To still want to cause trouble in this situation, means this person doesn’t want to give him face. “Liu Yiwen is with Lin Zihao every day, and he never speaks out for Lin Zihao. There must be something going on inside, what do you know?”

When the boy looked at the silent Liu Yiwen, he picked up a glass of Coke and downed it in frustration, his expression was not good.

In front of the store, Gu Ye was stopped by several girls as soon as he got out of the car. He has good looks, good study, good character, and no airs. Not all rich second generation are bastards so outgoing girls don’t care so much about this. They pulled Gu Ye to their table and there were also a few girls at the side tapping on their bowls and saying, “Come to big sister’s bowl!”

Gu Ye felt inexplicably that he was being teased by a group of little girls. In his mind, he was already 25 years old!

“Gu Ye, can you really tell fortunes?”

“Calculate for me!”

“I want to know, can playing the game ‘Die Xian’ (Chinese Ouija Board) really summon the spirit?”

…

Gu Ye only heard chirpings in his ears, as if there was a group of birds surrounding him. He looked at Zhao Pengyu and Xia Xiang for help: Brothers, help!

The two of them had no choice but to drag Gu Ye back and sandwich him in the middle. In the chaotic crowd, Gu Ye didn’t know who was it but someone touched his waist and exclaimed, “Dayum! Thinner than my waist!”

Gu Ye looked back in a state of collapse, but couldn’t find which girl it was. He thought to himself, oh my god, who knows how scary little girls are these days? How dare they tease men! Who dares to bring them home (to meet their parents)?

Xia Xiang was speechless by Gu Ye’s action, “You’re not afraid of ghosts but you afraid of girls?”

Gu Ye sighed and gave in timidly.

The class monitor sat beside Cao Ziming. Seeing that the other person’s expression still looked ugly, the class monitor was afraid that he would say something shocking again and make everyone unhappy. He persuaded, “Stop looking for trouble. See that logo on Gu Ye’s clothes? It is a world-famous luxury custom-made brand. Just the short-sleeved shirt he is wearing alone costs at least 50,000 yuan. Are you still going to mess with him?”

Cao Ziming immediately didn’t dare to say anything. It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford to offend Gu Ye, he couldn’t afford to pay for it.

Some students saw that Cao Ziming had a problem with Gu Ye because of Lin Zihao’s affairs, so they asked Liu Yiwen in a low voice, “Lin Zihao has already applied for review, right? He won’t come today either?”

“Yes,” Liu Yiwen glanced at Gu Ye quietly and whispered, “He went to another school. It is said that his score is too low and our school does not accept such reviewers.”

“That’s so miserable. What was he thinking? Why didn’t he enter the examination room that afternoon?”

“It’s all about saving face, and he’ll have to suffer the consequences.” Liu Yiwen glanced at Gu Ye again. Unexpectedly, Gu Ye turned and smiled at him this time. At this moment, Liu Yiwen was startled and inexplicably did not dare to look at Gu Ye. Then, Gu Ye found him from the chatgroup and sent a friend request to him with a smile. Liu Yiwen was stunned for a moment by the request and added Gu Ye with fear.

Gu Ye: [It’s okay for people to be selfish. Everyone is selfish. As long as you don’t harm others for your own selfishness, you won’t suffer retribution.]

Liu Yiwen immediately understood the meaning of Gu Ye’s words and saw that Gu Ye didn’t hold a grudge against him. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied: [It’s Lin Zihao’s fault. He’s crazy and he didn’t listen to advice. And so he failed his exam. It has nothing to do with you either. Thank you for saving us. He shouldn’t repay kindness with hatred. I also want to say, I’m sorry, I was jealous too, but I really didn’t do anything.]

Gu Ye smiled and deleted Liu Yiwen from his friendlist. After this talk, there is no need to contact each other again in the future.

The dishes they ordered were served quickly. Gu Ye watched the group of teenagers eating and playing with everything written on their faces. Their excitement was so high that it seemed to overturn the ceiling. He couldn’t join in the excitement, so he ate slowly and leisurely. When he was almost done eating, he went to the bathroom.

Xia Xiang followed Gu Ye out and said, “They will go singing after this. I don’t want to go. Are you still going?”

Gu Ye shook his head, “I won’t go either.”

“They might have more fun if we don’t go.”

“Your thoughts are much more delicate than Zhao Pengyu’s.”

“Nonsense!” Zhao Pengyu stuck at the door of the toilet and said, “I knew you two were talking bad about me behind my back!”

Xia Xiang smiled and had no intention of arguing with Zhao Pengyu, “After 3 years, they may not be such pure friends.”[1]

Gu Ye pointed to his eyes, “I’m never wrong about people. Anyway, you two won’t change.”

Both of them were amused by Gu Ye, and Zhao Pengyu thought of other things, “Gu Ye, besides us, you also need to make a few more friends. Find those with the same profession as you. Then they can help you when something happens.”

Gu Ye washed his face and said calmly, “Okay.”

“A look at your face and I can tell that you don’t put that in mind. You just wait for people to open their hearts to you first before you accept them. How can you make friends like this? Go hang out ah, make friends.”

Gu Ye doesn’t know if to laugh or cry, “I’ll call you Father, alright? Don’t worry about me.”

As soon as Gu Ye said this, Zhao Pengyu became angry, “No, I’ll call you Father. I’ll call you Uncle (paternal), I’ll call you Uncle (maternal)!”

“Hahaha! Good son!” Gu Ye happily dug into his pocket, “Where’s my red envelope? Why didn’t I bring any?”

Xia Xiang laughed on the sidelines. How this kind of friendship has been maintained until now is also a mystery!

After everyone paid the bill, other students were about to go to the KTV. Gu Ye said with a smile, “I’m sorry, my family sent someone to pick me up, so I won’t go.”

Zhao Pengyu put his arm around Gu Ye’s shoulders and said, “Give me a ride!”

Xia Xiang raised his hand, “I’ll hitch a ride too.”

The others understood at a glance what the three of them had agreed upon so they didn’t persuade them to stay. The group of people walked out the door together and saw a Rolls-Royce worth tens of millions parked at the door. The driver got out of the car and walked to Gu Ye. He said with a smile, “Third Young Master, I have sent your personal car for maintenance.”

Gu Ye’s mouth twitched. The hell is sending a car for maintenance in the middle of the night? This may have been arranged by his little mother again, to show the female humans how rich their family is, and to ask him to quickly grab a human home.

Amid the envious, jealous, and even disdainful looks of their classmates, the three of them got into the car and waved goodbye. Who knows what year or month it was when they met again? Maybe then everyone will be leading a different life at that time.

It’s past 9.00 pm now so the Ghost Festival has started, and the gates are wide open. Normal people can’t see strange things, but in the eyes of Gu Ye and Xia Xiang, the streets are full of weirdly shaped people.

Xia Xiang covered his face and looked shaken, “There is a person with a backward head who keeps looking at me.”

Gu Ye glanced out the window, “He must have died in a car accident and hit his head until it got twisted to the back.”

The driver uncle’s face turned pale, “Third Young Master, what did you say? What died in a car accident?”

“Oh, we were just kidding. Have you heard of a joke?” Gu Ye pretended to change the subject casually and said with a smile, “There was a retarded person who went racing on his motorcycle on the highway in the middle of the night. Because it was too cold, he wore his jacket inside out. Unexpectedly he got into a car accident and fell into a ditch. The person who came to save him took a look at him in the dark and said he couldn’t be saved. It’s because the man’s head is twisted to the back so he is pretty dead. The person said to let the biker die a dignified appearance so he kindly twisted with all his strength. With a kacha, the dead’s face is finally facing forward, hahaha.”

The people in the car felt cold all over. This joke was so scary!

“Isn’t it funny?” Gu Ye saw that none of them were laughing and said seriously, “Then let me tell you another story. There was a hanged man. His tongue was too long and he always stumbled when he walked. His friend said, why don’t you wrap your tongue around the waistband of your pants…mhmmmmm!”

Zhao Pengyu and Xia Xiang covered Gu Ye’s mouth each from a side and said, “Stop talking! Where did you learn this kind of joke? It’s too hardcore!”

Gu Ye was grinning evilly when he suddenly felt a vibration of spiritual energy, followed by 3 ghostly evil auras laced with blood. Gu Ye looked in that direction vigilantly. In the dark night, it still can be seen a purple aura that only a mythical art master can have.

When Gu Ye thought of the calculation he got about encountering evil spirits, he excitedly pulled away the paws covering his mouth. Pointed in that direction, he said happily, “Uncle Feng, turn the car around, I want to go there!”

Zhao Pengyu immediately had a bad feeling when he saw Gu Ye’s expression, “Did you see something?”

Gu Ye excitedly replied, “Such a heavy ghost auras!”

Xia Xiang held his head and wailed, “I don’t want to go! I don’t want to see them!”

Zhao Pengyu is also going crazy, “I say, why are you so happy? Stop looking for this kind of excitement!”

Gu Ye’s fighting spirit couldn’t be suppressed at all, “What is a Ghost Festival without a fight with ghosts? Uncle Feng, listen to me, go!”

The driver uncle really wanted to kneel down to Gu Ye, “Third Young Master, this… is not safe.”

Gu Ye stuck himself by the window, “You can put me down here and I’ll walk there. I think someone needs my help.”

The driver had no choice but to turn the car around and send him there.

Zhao Pengyu already wanted to climb out of the car window, “I think singing is good. I’ll go back to the KTV and protect my classmates!”

“No need!” Gu Ye grabbed Zhap Pengyu by the collar and pushed him back into the car. “A group of children who have never done any evil and have strong yang energy. There are more than 50 of them gathered together. No one ghost dares to mess with them!”

Zhao Pengyu was desperate, lying in the car with despair.

[1] Yes, the statement sounds weird and seems to come out from nowhere. Banana double-checked the raw in jj too, it’s just like that. Probably the author didn’t notice this discrepancy.

Chapter 40 So what if I have to wait for him for 4 more years? Part 2

After returning home from the birthday party, Gu Yang pestered Gu Ye, “Brother! I heard that you guys are going to Happy World theme park tomorrow? Take me there!”

Gu Ye was lying on the bed reading a book and said nonchalantly, “Okay, what do you want to play?”

“I can play whatever is exciting, like a pirate ship, devil’s elevator, bungee jumping, rapids… I can play anything, and I also want to go to the haunted house!”

Gu Ye turned over a page of the book and said calmly, “Don’t go to the haunted house, you will get scared.”

Gu Yang looked arrogant and confident as he replied, “Whoever is afraid of is a dog!”

Gu Ye sighed, “Okay, I hope you mean what you say.”

Early the next morning, Gu Ye took Gu Yang out and played adventurous and exciting games. Gu Yang rushed forward without any care, like a wild child who was let out of his cage, crazy and unable to be held back. However, when they finally entered the haunted house, Gu Yang broke down. He hung on Gu Ye’s back in fear and had to be dragged out by Gu Ye. He closed his eyes and did not dare to look, “Brother! This is all fake, right?!”

Gu Ye said tiredly, “Didn’t you say you are very brave and are not afraid of ghosts? So you still want me to take you with me when I go out? Didn’t you say whoever gets afraid is a dog? You said it yourself.”

Gu Yang: “Brother…”

Gu Ye: “En?”

Gu Yang: “Woof!”

Gu Ye: “…”

Gu Yang: “Brother!”

Gu Ye: “What?!”

Gu Yang: “Woof woof.”

Gu Ye raised his hand angrily and pinched Gu Yang’s cheek, “If you say anything again, I’ll beat you to death!”

Seeing Gu Yang’s aggrieved expression, Gu Ye pinched the other side of his face, and his mood suddenly improved.

…

On the 14th day of the seventh lunar month, Yu Ze came to pick up Gu Ye as promised. When Gu Yang saw his brother going out, he wanted to follow him.

Gu Ye raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, “If you follow me out again, I will sell you for buns!”

Gu Yang squatted on the lawn while holding the now-larger dog. He pulled out two handfuls of grass, stuffed it into the dog’s mouth, and muttered, “You can’t bully me just because second brother bullied you. Who stated that the little ones should be bullied?”

Gu Ye rubbed his hands as if to say ‘If you kept talking nonsense, I’ll pinch you’!

Gu Yang became obedient in a second. After Gu Ye went out, he pinched the dog’s face resentfully. “If cannot follow, then I won’t follow. So this is how it goes, the eldest son bullies the second eldest, the second eldest bullies the third, the third bullies the fourth. As the fourth, I can only bully you.”

After getting in the car, Yu Ze saw something wrong with Gu Ye’s expression and looked at him with concern.

“It’s okay, I just gave that naughty kid a few words.” Gu Ye lowered his head and was startled when he saw Yu Ze’s hand on his side. Probably because it was light in color before and was blocked by the purple aura, he didn’t even notice that there was a red line on Yu Ze’s ring finger. This means Yu Ze’s destined person has appeared? As for where the other end is, Gu Ye can’t see it.

Yu Ze looked at his hand in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

Gu Ye smiled and said, “Your destined person has appeared.”

“Really?” Yu Ze looked at his hand and then at Gu Ye’s, “Where’s yours?”

Gu Ye shook his head in embarrassment, “In our line of business, we are unable to calculate our own fortunes, let alone see ourselves clearly (telling fortune by facial features). Even if my destined person is standing in front of me, I can’t tell, even if I’m looking at his aura.”

Yu Ze looked at his hand regretfully and said meaningfully, “What a pity.”

Gu Ye nodded, “Yes.”

When they arrived, many masters were already drinking tea and chatting in the courtyard. Because there were so many people, Old Master Yu directed his people to place mahogany tables and chairs in the yard. There are snacks and tea served on the table. The glass cover that had been open over the yard was closed, and the air conditioner was turned on, which made it cool. As soon as they arrived, many masters looked over. Then, the lively atmosphere suddenly cooled down, and their expressions became weird.

Gu Ye stood at the door, a bit of helplessness flashed in his eyes. It was like this before when he was ‘Gu Ye’. Unpopular, but he didn’t expect that he was still unpopular after changing his body.

Yu Ze’s expression darkened and he pulled Gu Ye through everyone, “After you meet my father, your mission is considered done. Don’t worry about their opinions.”

“I think so too. Why waste my feelings on someone I don’t know?” Gu Ye swaggered into Old Master Yu’s study and saw the old man writing alone. He asked with a smile, “Old master, how is your health?”

“Good, I’m feeling good!” Mr. Yu stopped writing and asked kindly, “How is your father’s health?”

“He’s good too. Since he received your calligraphy and painting, he got someone to frame it and hang it in his study. Then he will worship them many times every day. After that, he becomes strong and can work for another 20 years.”

Gu Ye made Old Master Yu happy with just a few sentences, “Then please let him visit me someday. I’ll let him take whichever one he likes.”

“I’ll give my thanks first to you on behalf of my dad!” Gu Ye walked over with a smile. Admiring Old Master Yu’s calligraphy, he asked, “I haven’t seen Old Master Tang, why didn’t he come to such an occasion?”

Old Master Yu finished writing the rest of the words and said with a smile, “Old Tang has quit the association. Most of these people today are from the Xuanshu Association. He didn’t want to see them, so he didn’t come.”

Gu Ye frowned, “Quit? Isn’t Old Master Tang one of the founders of the Xuanshu Association? He has already retreated behind the scenes*, so why is there such a thing as quitting?”

*As in no longer handling stuff, just giving advice at most

“For you and your senior brother, he fell out with his disciple.” Old Master Yu said nonchalantly, “It’s okay to quit. This society has deviated from the original intention of its establishment. Jing Lianzhong was greedy for power and wanted to control everything. Old Tang even wanted to expel him from his school.”

Gu Ye felt a moment of shock in his heart, “For me?”

“Don’t think too much, he will fall out sooner or later anyway,” Old Master Yu put down his pen and said, “I told him a long time ago. If the garbage society continues to play like this, sooner or later it will be over.”

“Pfft!” Gu Ye couldn’t help but look at Yu Ze with a smile. Your old man is this fashionable? He knows to say this kind of word.

Yu Ze shook his head speechlessly, having nothing to say.

Old Master Yu tugged at the corner of Gu Ye’s clothes. He squinted his eyes which were exactly the same as Yu Ze’s, and whispered, “Work hard and defeat Jing Lianzhong. You can become the president. Old Tang and I will support you.”

Gu Ye doesn’t know if to laugh or cry, “Old Master Yu, please stop teasing me. I’m used to freedom. How can I do that?”

“Just because you don’t want to do it now doesn’t mean you can’t do it in the future. When the time comes, Old Tang and I will go canvass for you, come on!”

Gu Ye smiled dryly, “Okay, as long as you are happy.”

Seeing that the topic was getting more and more side-tracked, Yu Ze noticed that Gu Ye felt troubled. He pulled Gu Ye to his side and said, “You have already met him so I will take him away now.”

Old Master Yu was dissatisfied, “Where are you taking him? We haven’t finished talking yet.”

Yu Ze pulled Gu Ye away unmoved, “Take her to me and change my life. You can entertain the masters outside.”

“Huh? This kid!” Mr. Yu stamped his feet angrily, “I really haven’t finished what I said!”

Gu Ye looked back, waved his hand, and comforted, “Let’s talk about it next time.”

Old Master Yu sighed, but he hadn’t asked this little master yet whether Yu Ze’s fate could be changed.

Old Master Yu did not expect that Gu Ye being taken away was just the beginning. Soon someone came to say goodbye to him. The master only said 1 sentence, “Destiny has been decided and cannot be changed.”

Old Master Yu bid farewell to this master in disappointment. Soon, two more came, again with the same words, “Destiny has been decided, forgive us for our inability to do anything.”

Old Master Yu stopped them and asked, “You guys would try to do some calculations in previous years, but this year you don’t need to calculate anything?”

The two masters shook their heads apologetically, “Destiny has been determined. We have seen it.”

Not long after, a few more people came and said the same thing to bid farewell to Old Master Yu. This time, he didn’t stop the masters. He replied with a despairing heart, “Destiny has been determined, right? I understand. Thank you all for making a trip today.”

A young man wanted to speak, but his master glared at him and stopped him. After leaving the Yu family, the young apprentice asked in confusion, “Master, why didn’t you let me tell him?”

The master is quite old, so he explained to his apprentice in a serious and thoughtful manner, “What do you want to say? Your son’s destiny red line has appeared and it’s bound to a boy? Old Master Yu is so old and looks forward to his daughter-in-law and grandson. Can he bear this blow?”

“That Gu Ye is pretty good at telling fortune, but he can’t even see it himself?”

“The more you know how to calculate, the less likely you are to calculate your own fate. Otherwise, how could his senior brother die so early?”

…

Gu Ye only went to have some snacks and when he came back, he found that a third of the people had left. Old Master Yu’s face didn’t look good either. Gu Ye looked at Yu Ze and asked, “What to do? Do you want to go and coax him?”

Yu Ze answered nonchalantly, “He has this expression every year, and it will be fine in 2 days.”

Gu Ye: “…Okay.”

“Don’t worry about it, let’s go out to eat.” Yu Ze took the car keys. He has already seen that all the masters who were said to be capable in the past years have left. The rest were all strangers, and they all looked at him as if he is a precious animal. Yu Ze couldn’t bear it anymore and took Gu Ye with him to hide away without telling his family.

Late afternoon, Yu Ze went to his company, and Gu Ye went home for a nap. He didn’t take Old Master Yu’s words to heart. This sentence really fits him – Live without care, then living is not tiring.

…

The Hungry Ghost Festival soon arrived. On this day, the whole class was hanging out in groups and agreed to meet at Mama’s Restaurant near the school at 6.00 pm. After dinner, they will go to the KTV across the road to sing. No one is allowed to go home until midnight. They must enjoy this final good time before the university starts!

The class monitor chose this store after considering it in advance. Everyone is going Dutch/paying for themselves. This store is relatively affordable, tastes good, and is suitable for student’s budget. None of the classmates had any objections, and the chat messages reached 99+ in minutes.

Mrs. Gu took two sets of clothes and knocked on Gu Ye’s door. “I ordered 2 sets of clothes for you. Which one will you wear for the class reunion?”

Gu Ye put down his phone. There were so many messages in the group that he couldn’t even read them. “Either one is fine. It’s just a meal with my classmates.”

“Wear this, the style is fresh and natural. You’re fair so wear this to show off your skin.” Mrs. Gu has already chosen a set, a light blue short-sleeved shirt and white jeans. Although the style is not much different from the clothing sold in general stores, it is custom-fitted and well-dressed. “Wear a sleeveless vest underneath. You don’t have to button it up. Just in case you come back late and it’s cold, then you can button it up for warmth.”

Gu Ye curled his lips and felt tired just looking at it, “Why do you dress me up so beautifully?”

Little mom has a lot on her mind, “You’re so handsome. If you like any girl, bring her back.”

Gu Ye lay on the bed tiredly and didn’t want to move, “I’m only 19.”

Ever since Mrs. Gu heard Gu Ye say that he didn’t know what species he liked, she as the mother had been frightened. Mrs. Gu pulled Gu Ye up from the bed, “Age is not important, now we need to gain experience.”

Gu Ye doesn’t know to laugh or cry, “What if I bring a ghost back?”

“Pei pei pei spits! Bring a female back.”

“Female ghost?”

Mrs. Gu yelled at Gu Ye angrily, “Bring a human back! Human!”

“Okay, okay, I’ll bring a human back in the future. Don’t get agitated, I’ll put the clothes on right now. “

Only after getting the confirmation that Mrs. Gu went out.

After Gu Ye changed his clothes, before going out, he took out his compass to calculate whether there would be a ghost tonight. Unexpectedly, the result showed that he would not only bump into ghosts tonight, but it would be evil ghosts. In the end, he also formed an indissoluble bond with a ‘thing’.

Because this fortune-telling is for himself, Gu Ye can’t get an accurate reading and can’t be sure what that ‘thing’ is, but it’s certain that he will bump into ghosts. When Gu Ye thought it was an evil ghost, his spirit was shaken. He excitedly grabbed a handful of charms, and 2 cinnabar pens before rushing out!

Master Gu was suddenly excited!
