9th Master’s Little Darling is Trolling Again!

Chapter 54: 054 Catastrophe

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Old Master Gu sat on the teng chair in the courtyard, his eyes gentle and kind.

He was dressed in a blue-gray Chinese tunic suit.

His feet were covered in a pair of long cloth shoes…

Looking at this scene, if he walked out and stood on the street, no one would have thought that he was the true pillar of the entire Gu family empire, the sect master, right?

Of course, most of the sect masters had retreated to the back line, leaving the next generation of the family in charge.

However, it could not be denied that no one in the entire Gu family, regardless of whether it was in the business circle at home or abroad, dared to deny the power and execution of this old master in front of them!

At this moment, Old Master Gu was sitting there with a smile, allowing Qin Yiyi to size him up.

At the same time, he was also sizing up Qin Yiyi as if he was scrutinizing her. Slowly, a hint of solemnity appeared in Old Master Gu’s eyes.

It was not that he had not seen Qin Yiyi when she was younger.

The two families used to live close together and could be considered neighbors for a period of time. Later, the Gu family changed houses and lived a little further away.

But if he really counted, they still lived in the same housing estate…

If he remembered correctly, his two granddaughters at that time even muttered about the difference between the two children of the Qin family.

At that time, he, as an old man, only smiled when he heard it.

The human heart was never something that could be easily understood by the people outside!

Moreover, at his age, he really didn’t care about other people’s affairs.

If it weren’t for the strange words that his grandson had said to him when he woke up…

Old Master Gu knew that he would never think of Qin Yiyi again!

After that, he had repeatedly asked that b*stard of his, and even had people investigate the disco that had been burned to the ground several times from beginning to end.

In order to find out if Gu Yulin was lying, he even had people transfer the surveillance footage of the time Gu Yulin said he met Qin Yiyi that night to him. After repeatedly confirming it, in the end.., even though he had always paid attention to materialism, he couldn’t help but deny that what happened that night was indeed strange.

Now, the only thing he had to be sure of was whether the girl’s words were intentional or not.

It was just a moment of absent-mindedness, but Old Master Gu had already greeted the two of them with a smile.

“Qin family’s girl, Shang boy, quickly come over and sit down.”

Two chairs and two cups of tea had already been set up on the side.

Shang Jingheng pulled Qin Yiyi to sit down. “Grandpa Gu, long time no see. Your complexion looks much better.”

“What do I have to be good about? You, on the other hand, look much more distracted than the last time I saw you.”

Grandpa Gu pointed out that Shang Jingheng’s body seemed to be getting better.

But due to the presence of Qin Yiyi, this so-called outsider, he couldn’t say it out loud.

Who knew that Shang Jingheng would actually smile.

“I took the medicine she gave me. I had a doctor check up on me some time ago.”

“How is it? Are you fully recovered?”

Old Master Gu’s tone was somewhat anxious. He truly felt sorry for this child in front of him!

“I’m not fully recovered, but I can completely suppress it.”

Pausing for a moment, he told the old man another piece of good news. “Furthermore, I can now sleep well on a full moon night.”

Hearing this, Old Master Gu’s hand that was holding the teacup trembled slightly.

It took him a long time to recover. “Good, good, good.”

After saying “good” three times in a row, Old Master Gu seemed to have thought of something, and for a moment, he was lost in thought.

Shang Jingheng calmly helped Qin Yiyi pour the tea.

“This is the old tea that Grandpa Gu has been collecting for more than ten years. Try It.”

“If it doesn’t taste good, then change it.”

“You brat, are you bringing the Qin family’s little girl over to my place to steal my tea?”

After coming back to his senses, Old Master Gu pointed at Shang Jingheng with a smile and scolded him twice.

Shang Jingheng lowered his head and helped Old Master Gu refill the tea. Only then did he say lightly, “Anyway, your old tea is still on the table. Why don’t you let the person you like drink it?”

“Nonsense, can’t I just leave it on the table and watch?”

The old man and the young man actually started bickering because of this.

However, Qin Yiyi didn’t pay much attention to it. Instead, she really began to carefully savor the tea in front of her.

It definitely wasn’t as good as the spiritual tea that she drank in the alternate dimension.

However, the aftertaste was mellow with a hint of astringency and a hint of fragrance. The aftertaste lasted a while…

It was indeed a rare good tea!

Putting down the teacup in her hand, she smiled with curved eyes,

“Thank you, Grandpa Gu, for the good tea. I like it very much.”

“It’s good that you like it. Later, Grandpa will ask the housekeeper to pack some for you. Bring it home to drink slowly.”

Gu Yulin, who had rushed home after hearing the news, just happened to hear this, and his playboy-like face instantly fell.

“Grandpa, how can you be so biased?”

Previously, he had gone to the old man’s study out of curiosity and took a few more glances at the tea.

How could he know what would happen to him next?

He was already such a big man. The old man had pinched his ear and scolded and hit him in front of so many people in the Gu family.

Even now, he was still being teased by those little b*stards in the circle.

But look at this situation. The other party had only said that the tea was good, and the old man had sent it out eagerly!

He casually pulled a chair and sat down, holding his hands in the shape of a Xizi.

“Grandfather, am I still your biological grandson?”

Old Master Gu looked at him with a half-smile.

“You can choose not to be. Or, do you really think not to be?”

“No, no, no, yes, I am definitely your biological grandson, two hundred and one thousand percent biological grandson!”

If he dared to say no, he didn’t know how this old man would deal with him later!

Even peeling off a layer of skin from his body would be light.

Sigh, people said that having an old man was like having a treasure, but here he was, having an old man was like having a masochist!

Old Master Gu could not be bothered with this clown. He pointed at him, turned his head, and looked at Qin Yiyi with a solemn face.

“I heard about what happened that night. Qin family’s lass, thank you for saving this ba*tard’s life.”

“Right, right. Grandpa, you don’t know. I didn’t care at all at that time. I just felt that this lass had become a fraud instead of being a good girl… After that, I was almost scared to death. I’ll tell you, Yiyi. At least we have a life-and-death relationship. Why don’t you help me see if there will be anything bad in the future?”

As he spoke, he even casually laughed twice.

It was really just a casual remark.

Don’t look at how Gu Yulin had been thinking about Qin Yiyi’s life-saving grace all this time.

But to make him believe that Qin Yiyi knew fortune-telling?

Forget it, let him be beaten up by his grandfather again!

After he finished speaking, he started to giggle foolishly, but Old Master Gu’s heart moved.

“Qin Girl?”

“Grandpa Qin, do you want to hear the truth or lies?”

Qin Yiyi’s words made Old Master Gu, who only wanted to see what she was capable of or what purpose she wanted to achieve in the Gu family through Gu Yulin, slightly startled.

However, he was also a shrewd old man.

The hand that was holding the teacup rubbed against it slightly. After that, he put down the teacup, sat up straight, and laughed.

“Don’t worry. No matter what you say, Grandpa Gu won’t blame you.”

With his status and position, he wouldn’t easily believe anything, and he wouldn’t easily get angry at someone.

Moreover, this person was brought here by a kid from the Shang family.

He smiled as he looked at Qin Yiyi, his eyes filled with encouragement.

It was as if he was looking at a junior that he trusted the most!

Qin Yiyi, “…”

“Yiyi, if it’s inconvenient, then forget it.”

Pausing for a moment, Shang Jingheng said with a serious expression, “Your body is important.”

He still remembered that a few days ago, Qin Yiyi had helped him with acupuncture for two hours. It was as if her entire body had been drenched in water.

Her face was so pale that he almost fainted on the spot.

Shang Jingheng knew in his heart that Qin Yiyi must have some secrets, but he didn’t want to pursue the matter.

In fact, if he pursued the matter, it would damage her body.

He would rather not have anyone ask about it for the rest of his life!

Even if it was Grandpa Gu, whom he respected.

Qin Yiyi smiled and looked at Shang Jingheng, shaking her head. “I’m fine.” With that, she turned her head and looked at Gu Yulin again until Gu Yulin’s whole body was a little creeped out by her gaze. It was rare that he didn’t know where to put his hands and feet. Qin Yiyi looked at Grandpa Gu and lowered her eyes. “If my guess is right, second young master Gu probably only has half a month to live.”

Gu Yulin fell to the ground after being scared by these words.

Fortunately, he didn’t drink water. Otherwise, he would have choked to death and wouldn’t have needed half a month.

He crawled up from the ground with a constipated look and coughed a few times. He looked at Qin Yiyi speechlessly.

“I say, little girl of the Qin family, even if you don’t like me, you don’t have to scare me like this, right?”

He was lively and energetic.

What did she mean by having a lifespan of no more than half a month? !

This was simply… a joke!

Even Old Master Gu furrowed his brows. It was only because of Shang Jingheng’s face that he did not directly change his face and serve tea to send off the guests!

However, his tone had already become somewhat indifferent.

“Qin Girl, I’m afraid you’ve said something wrong. I can tell you that he just had an experience two days ago. The family doctor’s data shows that he’s very healthy.”

Old Master Gu’s words only made Qin Yiyi smile.

“Old Master, have you heard of the term ‘luck’?”

“Luck?”

“Yes, Luck.”

Qin Yiyi raised his hand and pointed at Gu Yulin. Her gaze was indifferent.

“A person’s luck is unpredictable and difficult to comprehend. Even in the celestial sect of wonders, it is difficult to put into words. However, it doesn’t mean that no one can change it.”

This was also why so many people believed in some so-called metaphysics and went to learn it. However, they found these so-called experts to change their fate!

“I have indeed heard about this, but…”

Old Master Gu’s eyes were sharp. “What does this have to do with this rascal of mine?”

“Because his fate is being tampered with by others.”

Speaking up to this point, Qin Yiyi simply made it clear. “Old Master, you can ask him how he’s been living outside recently and if he’s encountered any strange things.”

She was naturally referring to Gu Yulin.

Seeing that everyone’s gaze was on him, Gu Yulin scratched his head and hesitated.

“Well, let’s not talk about that. I just entered the Guild Hall two days ago, and the door plaque fell off.”

If he hadn’t left quickly, he would have been smashed on the spot, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.

“A few days ago, my car was waiting for a red light, and a truck crashed into me out of nowhere. Fortunately, I was so anxious that I drove to the green belt…”

If not, he would have been smashed into pieces by that huge truck along with his car.

After the incident, he had some doubts and personally asked the detained truck driver. The driver really looked wronged and said that he was driving perfectly fine, but for some reason, the steering wheel seemed to have its own consciousness and crashed into him…

At that time, he only thought that the other party was trying to exonerate him.

But now when he thought of the other party’s exasperated, annoyed, and grief-stricken expression…

And the day before yesterday, he had been walking the stairs, but he had actually tripped over it.

His teeth had almost fallen off!

As he thought of this, Gu Yulin’s face turned deathly pale as he slowly finished speaking.

Cold Sweat broke out on his back.

Could it be that it was really as this girl had said, harming him?

At this moment, even Old Master Gu became cautious in his heart. He looked at Shang Jingheng.

The other party’s expression was calm and indifferent. There was still not the slightest hint of emotion.

Old Master Gu furrowed his brows and slowly opened his mouth, “Qin family’s girl, you know me. I have always been better off relying on myself than on others. Moreover, the Gu family has formed such a large family business in my hands. I have always believed in myself. Your words make Grandpa Gu sound as if the impact is really quite great…” As he spoke, he rubbed the space between his brows; he shook his head.

It would have been better if he had known that he would not see this girl.

He did not expect that it would bring him a difficult problem!

“Grandpa Gu, have you not been sleeping well recently? Do you have a headache that you can’t bear or are impatient?”

“Yes, my father had a temper tantrum with the family doctor because of this the day before yesterday.”

Grandpa Gu did not speak. Gu Yulin was putting on a show of strength to betray his own grandfather.

Old Master Gu,”…” this brat!

However, to be able to get Shang Jingheng to personally accompany him…

Her character was at least reliable.

Thinking of this, Old Master Gu might as well speak up himself.

“The Qin Girl is right. I have these problems recently. However, the family doctor said that this is a normal loss of bodily functions.”

After all, he was already eighty years old.

He was really getting on in age.

Qin Yi’s gaze was indifferent. “If old master allows it, can I take your pulse?”

“You also know medical skills?”

Old Master Gu then laughed. Just now, Shang Jingheng had already said that his body depended entirely on this girl.

After a short pause, he stretched out his hand. “Take a look at grandfather’s body and see how it is. Can I still wait for this brat to get married and have children?”

Old Master Gu had four sons and one daughter.

His eldest son had died prematurely, leaving behind two daughters and a youngest son who was now married.

The second son, third son, and fourth son were also married and had children. After that, he was kicked out of the old house.

It would be good for him to come back and visit this old man once in a while.

There was no need to stay together.

He had seven granddaughters and four grandsons. The most interesting one and also the one that the old master liked the most was Gu Yulin, the youngest grandson of the fourth son!

Of course, it was not like he did not care for the other grandsons.

At this moment, no matter how doubtful Old Master Gu was, he really wanted to confirm the depth of Qin Yiyi’s words!

However, in just a few breaths, Qin Yiyi let go.

“Grandpa Gu, your body is fine. It’s just as I thought. The migraines and irritability are only caused by the unstable aura in your body.”

Aura?

Qin Yiyi didn’t explain anything. She just looked at Shang Jingheng,

“Do you feel any difference from when you entered the old house and when you sat here?”

Shang Jingheng thought for a moment and said in a clear voice, “The air is a little stuffy and weird.”

He thought it was his body.

Now, it seemed like this little girl had already noticed something was wrong?

“Air?”

Gu Yulin repeated this sentence in puzzlement and reached out to pat his thigh, “Yes, yes, Grandpa, let me tell you. Haven’t I been staying in the old residence all this time? I keep feeling dizzy, but when I go out, I’m full of vigor and vitality. Is that really the case? Holy sh*t, could it be that someone really did something in our residence?” As he said this, he slowed down for a moment and thought of something. His face turned pale as he looked at Qin Yiyi. “Ahhhh, is there really someone who wants to kill me?”

Qin Yiyi,”…” young man, you finally reacted.

She glanced at Gu Yulin, who was jumping up and down in fright, with a faint smile on her face. She ran behind Old Master Gu in a few steps and told him about what happened in the elevator a few days ago.

This made Gu Yulin’s little heart almost jump out of his chest. His face fell, as if he was about to cry.

“Yi Yi, Yi Yi Jie, I’ll call you sister. You can definitely help me, right?”

He reached out and hugged Old Master Gu’s arm. “Sob sob, Grandpa, don’t let me die. I don’t want to die…”

Old Master Gu resisted the urge to slap him to death. He pulled out his sleeve and glared at Gu Yulin, who was howling in tears.

“Get to the side.” He was furious.

Old Master Gu glared at Gu Yulin and looked at Qin Yiyi with a serious expression.

“According to what Miss Qin said, the other party set up a killing scheme. However, outsiders are not allowed in my manor…”

Before Old Master Gu could finish his words, he was silenced by Qin Yiyi’s half-smile.

Then, he closed his eyes forcefully.

Gu Yulin was a little lost, but he also looked at Old Master Gu helplessly.

“Grandpa, you… Are you alright?”

Shang Jingheng directly took a piece of cake for Qin Yiyi.

“This is sweet and soft. If you like it, I’ll get someone to send it over to you later.”

“Thank you.”

Qin Yiyi’s brows and eyes were curved as she ate. The small cake was made extremely exquisitely. Each bite was just right.

The two of them did not look at Old Master Gu.

This kind of thing, even if Old Master Gu was shrewd and open-minded.

It was a little hard to accept for a time, right?

A few minutes later.

Old Master Gu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Qin Yiyi,

“Since you call me Grandpa Gu, then I can call you Yiyi, right?”

“Grandpa Gu, please do as you wish.” The name was just a title to her!

Grandpa Gu nodded, his voice indifferent, “It doesn’t matter if this old man lives or not, but Yulin’s still young… Moreover, I don’t know if this matter will affect my children. If you don’t mind, can you help grandpa Gu take a look and point out a solution for him?”

Qin Yi brought the snack in her hand to her mouth and finished it before swallowing it.

She smiled faintly, “Grandpa Gu, there’s no need to make things difficult for me. Since I’ve bumped into this matter, it means that I’m fated to be with the Gu family. If Grandpa Gu believes me, can you ask second young master Gu to take me around this small courtyard?” She didn’t mind helping the Gu family or not, but what she did mind was that the other party used the feng shui spell of the Kunlun ruins to harm people!

The butler had already been sent out by Old Master Gu when they entered.

At this moment, there were only Old Master Gu, Gu Yulin, Qin Yiyi, and Shang Jingheng in the small courtyard, so there was nothing to be wary of.

Old Master Gu waved his hand at his grandson.

“Take Yiyi and look around.” After a pause, he added, “Go wherever she says.”

Gu Yulin was still a little confused. Hearing Old Master Gu’s words, he nodded blankly.

“Oh, Oh, it’s fine. You, you, come with me…”

It wasn’t until the two walked into a room not far away that Old Master Gu’s expression changed. He looked at Shang Jingheng.

“How did you meet this little girl from the Qin Family?”

There was nothing to hide from this old man in front of him. Shang Jingheng told him about how the two of them knew each other.

However, he hid the fact that Qin Yiyi had given him acupuncture and that she was very skilled.

These were all the little girl’s private matters.

Who she was willing to expose it to was her own business.

But he could not say it out loud in front of an outsider like him.

Uh, outsider… why did he suddenly feel a little uncomfortable? !

After hearing Shang Jingheng’s words, Old Master Gu rubbed the space between his brows. His face was full of fatigue. After a long while, he said faintly, “What do you think about what that girl said?”

Shang Jingheng didn’t even think about it. “I believe her.”

Old Master Gu,”…”

Who knew that Shang Jingheng would look at him seriously again. “Grandpa Gu, you won’t regret trusting her.”

Old Master Gu,”…”

At this moment, Qin Yiyi, who had just finished visiting Old Master Gu’s study and was about to leave, suddenly called out to Gu Yulin, “What is that place?”

She was referring to a corner of the study, inside which was a lounge.

It was where Old Master Gu rested when he was tired from reading books and reading documents.

Because there was only a bed inside. Gu Yulin didn’t think much about it until Qin Yiyi opened her mouth to ask.

His expression changed. “This is where my grandfather rests. Could it be that there’s something wrong here?”

As he spoke, he quickly retreated and ran behind Qin Yiyi.

He was just short of pulling the corner of Qin Yiyi’s clothes and saying, “You have to protect me.”

Qin Yiyi felt that she had to stay far away from this silly guy in the future so as not to pass on his foolishness to herself.

She did not care about how Gu Yu Lin was playing tricks behind her. She stretched out her hand and pushed open the door of the lounge.

“Damn, why is it so cold inside?”

Gu Yulin, who had just taken a step in, felt his whole body turn cold. He could not help but shiver, “Hey, Qin Yiyi, there’s nothing in here, but it’s so cold. Let’s hurry up… Hey, hey, that’s my grandfather’s jade pillow. You, you… Ah, blood…”

The jade pillow was directly smashed into pieces by Qin Yiyi’s palm.

A stream of black blood with a fishy smell meandered through the air, dripping onto the ground!

At the door, Old Master Gu’s vision went black when he saw this scene..
