Chapter 74.1
When Chen Yu woke up again, it was already late in the evening, and Elder Wu was sitting not far away playing Go with Lou Ming.
Shishi, youre awake. Lou Ming, still holding a white chess piece between his fingertips, turned his head sideways and smiled faintly at Chen Yu.
Yeah! Chen Yu hugged the blanket and sat up from the sofa. She was just about to stretch lazily, but inexplicably felt that her body was a little different. It was as if there was a lot of power flowing in her body. Chen Yu blinked and hesitantly mobilized the spirit qi in her body.
After Lou Ming had made a move, Elder Wu was just about to put his piece down after pondering over it for a long time, when he suddenly heard his granddaughters ghostly scream. He got so scared that he swept half of the chessboard.
What are you screaming for? Youve messed up all the pieces, Elder Wu scolded in feigned annoyance.
Lou Ming watched in silence as the chess game was ruined. However, his emotional intelligence was quite high as he didnt expose Elder Wu.
Grandpa, Third Brother, my spiritual power is flowing again. Chen Yu excitedly bounced around on the sofa.
I know. Stop jumping. Elder Wu was disgusted.
Ignoring Elder Wus snort, Chen Yu rushed to Lou Ming and said happily, Third Brother, my spiritual power can be used again, so I can still help you seal your evil spirit in the future.
Mm. Lou Ming looked at Chen Yus cheerful appearance and unconsciously remembered Elder Wus question to him just now.
Do you know that if you absorbed the evil qi in Chen Yus soul just now, you would have likely died, Elder Wu asked.
Lou Ming didnt answer his question at the time. He knew that the evil spirit in his body was already very unstable. Master Mao also told him that he could last at most three to five years. But perhaps it was because of this clear time limit that Lou Ming tried to absorb the evil qi in Chen Yus body just now without considering the consequences.
However, despite pondering over them in advance Lou Ming felt that he would have done so anyway. After all, he didnt have much time left, while Chen Yus future was long.
Old man, you still lied to me that you have no way, Chen Yu fiercely accused her unreliable grandfather. That caused her to be depressed all afternoon and fall asleep with difficulty.
Thats your luck. Elder Wu glanced at Lou Ming without a trace.
With a smile on his lips, Lou Ming nodded slightly toward Elder Wu, as if thanking him.
Humph!Elder Wu turned his head in disdain. Wu Li hated selfless fools who did good deeds without leaving their names the most. Had he not been afraid that his granddaughter would be ridden with guilt, would he carry this blame for him?
At dinner time, Chen Yu took Elder Wu back to her home.
Knowing that Elder Wu had come to the capital, her parents waited at home early. Mother Chen even changed the furniture of the guest room, taking into account Elder Wus status as a senior citizen. She arranged an acqua and mahogany retro decoration. At first glance, the room looked like where the worlds experts lived.
Elder Wu, we have always wanted to thank you in person, but only got the chance now, Mother Chen said excitedly.
I wasnt able to go to Damu Village in person to thank you face to face. Ive always been ashamed about this, Mayor Chen added.
Mother and Father Chen were genuinely and sincerely grateful to Elder Wu. If he had only saved Shishi before, then he had also saved Chen Yang with the magic techniques he taught Shishi today. Elder Wu was the savior of their children, so Mother Chen and Father Chen couldnt express their gratitude to him in words.
You two dont need to be so polite. With a smile, Elder Wu took out two talismans from his backpack and handed them to Father and Mother Chen, one by one, saying, Its the first time I came to visit and didnt bring any meeting gifts. This is an advanced Spirit-Repelling Talisman I drew. Take it. Ordinary malevolent ghosts wont dare to get close to you. If there are malevolent ghosts nearby, it can also emit a heat warning. Its very practical.
After listening to his explanation, Mayor Chen was fine with his usual smile. However, Mother Chens face gradually turned white. It was great that malevolent ghosts couldnt get near them, but the second function Mother Chen didnt know if she was imagining it, but the Spirit-Repelling Talisman in her hand suddenly felt hot.
Could it be that there was a malevolent ghost in their home, but she didnt know it?
Considering Elder Wus long journey (Mr. and Mrs. Chen did not know that the old man had already taken a nap in the Lous compound), Father and Mother Chen did not continue to disturb him after dinner, and instead asked Chen Yu to take him to his room to rest.
Chen Yu led Elder Wu to the guest room. When she saw the new furnishings in the room, she couldnt help sighing: My mother actually changed all the furniture.
Of course, Elder Wu also felt the respect the Chens had for him. But as someone who was accustomed to the various aspects of society, he didnt feel too discomfited about it. He took a sweeping glance at the indoor furnishings, the retro decoration of the room, and even the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the mahogany desk.
Wheres your room? Elder Wu asked casually as he withdrew his gaze.
Over there. Chen Yu pointed to the rightmost room on the second floor.
Ill go over and take a look, Elder Wu said.
Chen Yu didnt doubt anything and led Elder Wu towards her room. She opened the door and presented it, I live here. My brothers room is next door, and my parents live on the first floor.
The grandpa nodded. After scanning the room, his eyes settled on the desk on the two computers: Why do you have two laptops?
One was already in the room. The other is a gaming laptop that my brother gave me, Chen Yu explained.
Gaming laptop!!!
Elder Wu walked forward and pretty naturally took the laptop that looked newer. He stared at what he believed was the gaming laptop and said expressionlessly, Ill use this one.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen considered a lot but failed to consider that the master might not like pen, ink, paper and inkstone, nor that he preferred to play games.
