Chapter 110: Chapter 108: Competing for Favor Drives People Insane

Qin Luo’s gaze dimmed. Although he had anticipated that those six people were likely doomed before coming here, there still remained a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Now, that only hope was completely extinguished.

Qi’s words could not be wrong.

Yun Qi’s long eyelashes fluttered, her rosy lips parted slightly, but some words ultimately remained unspoken.

Those six individuals not only died, but died very miserably.

Very miserably!

They had once been close protectors of Qin Luo’s brother, so his brother must be very sad.

"Whether they are dead or alive, can it be determined where they are now?" Qin Luo asked.

"Mm!" Yun Qi nodded heavily.

She took out a handful of candies from the little bear pocket she carried and scattered them on the table, speaking clearly in a childish voice:

"Kun Position, in the Southwest, the Five Elements are earth. Earth has the functions of generation, reception, and support. The trigram is in reverse motion, wood conquers earth, coffins break through the ground and enter, so they are buried in a coffin in the southwestern position, the specific place is..."

As Yun Qi spoke, she emptied out the ash from the incense burner and pulled out a writing brush, using the other end dipped in vermillion, channeling spiritual power.

Next, the brush moved backward, drawing two characters in the ash:

Guyue.

Yang Xiu immediately checked the phrase Guyue on his phone, "Young Master, Guyue is a small county in the Southwestern Gui City, it says that area still retains rich Nuo culture and holds large-scale sacrificial rituals annually."

Nuo culture? Gui City?

Yun Qi thought of something, "Brother, wait here, I’ll be right back."

After saying this, she dashed away swiftly.

The room was left with only Qin Luo and his people.

Yang Xiu stepped forward and quietly said, "Young Master, Old Master’s intention is to send for a master, this little girl..."

The whole set just now seemed quite mystical, but also too childish, like a child wearing adult clothes pretending to be mature, feeling out of sync.

Especially the divination just now, which involved grabbing a handful of candies from the little bear pocket... Yang Xiu thought, I’m pretty naive, don’t try to fool me.

Qin Luo glanced at him indifferently. With just that one glance, an intense sense of pressure emanated from the eyes of this twelve-year-old boy with a thin body.

"I trust Qi." His tone was light, yet carried an undeniable force.

Yang Xiu immediately stepped aside, not daring to say more.

Yun Qi hurried up the stairs to find Yun Zhao.

"Brother, where did you do your research before?"

"Gui City Guyue County, what’s up?"

Before Yun Zhao could finish his question, Yun Qi already fluttered away like a little butterfly, leaving behind a crisp and sweet childish voice echoing in the air, "Nothing, thank you, brother."

Oh, so I’m just an answering machine.

Yun Zhao hugged himself feeling a bit heartbroken.

Yun Qi returned to the study, her eyes sparkling, "Brother, send people to Guyue County. The dead can’t be brought back to life, but there is still a chance to remedy things."

She didn’t specify what could be remedied, but Qin Luo sensed a force from her determined eyes, nodding heavily, "Alright, I’ll notify Grandpa immediately."

In the Capital City’s Qin Family, after Mr. Qin received the call, he quickly dispatched people by helicopter to Guyue County.

Qin Luo, meanwhile, temporarily stayed at the Yun Family.

In the evening, the Yun Family hosted a banquet for the distinguished guests. Yun Qiuce and Yun Kuang were playing games together until they finally strolled to the table just in time.

Mr. Yun scolded them in a low voice, "The guests have all arrived, and you’re still dawdling, where are your manners!"

Yun Qiuce glanced at Qin Luo defiantly, his eyes full of hostility.

Qin Luo looked inexplicably at Yun Qi, and Yun Qi softly reassured him, "Brother, it’s okay, my uncle is very nice."

Qin Luo nodded and smiled at Yun Qi.

Across from them, Yun Qiuce exchanged a glance with Yun Kuang and muttered, "Green tea schemer!"

Yun Kuang whispered back, "Uncle, you’re too obvious."

Yun Qiuce shook his head, about to speak when Old Master finally couldn’t take it anymore and smacked him on the back of the head, "What are you muttering about? Eat your food."

Yun Qiuce then held his head, feeling wronged as he buried himself in his meal.

"Brother, eat this." Yun Qi placed her favorite large drumstick in front of Qin Luo.

Yun Kuang and Yun Zhao both displayed looks of resignation.

Old Master chatted with Qin Luo briefly, discovering that although young, Qin Luo was remarkably articulate and composed, unlike his own grandchildren who seemed lackluster.

Even the academic achiever Yun Zhao seemed uninterested.

Therefore, he turned to Yun Kuang next to him and asked, "What’s wrong with all of you?"

Yun Kuang replied mournfully, "Qi’s elbows turn outward, and the moment that Qin kid shows up, she only has eyes for her ’brother.’"

"Che!" Old Master sneered, "So grown up already, yet fussing over such trivial things."

Just as he was speaking, Yun Qi’s sweet childish voice rang out, "Brother, how’s Grandpa’s health?"

Due to her good relationship with Qin Luo, she often interacted with Mr. Qin, and the old man was very fond of her.

Old Master was taken aback, finding the term "Grandpa" particularly irritating.

"Qi, do you know Qin Luo’s grandpa?" Old Master asked.

"Mm!" Yun Qi answered brightly, "On Yuqing Mountain, Grandpa always brings me treats when he visits."

"Oh."

Old Master suddenly lost his appetite, gripping his chopsticks unsure of what dish to pick.

Old Mrs. Yun gave him a discontented glance, muttering quietly, "You’re just as useless as the rest!"

"You’d be unhappy too in my place."

Old Mrs. Yun scoffed disdainfully and asked Yun Qi, "Qin Luo’s grandma must also be fond of our little Qi?"

Qin Luo quickly replied, "My grandma passed away many years ago."

"Oh." Old Mrs. Yun felt relieved and inadvertently muttered, "That’s good."

All around the table, people wore dismayed expressions, while Qin Luo’s expression was even more complex.

"Hehe, I didn’t mean it like that." Old Mrs. Yun explained awkwardly, unable to suppress a joyful smile within.

Yes, she was still Qi’s only grandma.

Qin Luo couldn’t help but tug at the corners of his mouth. Didn’t they claim to be a prestigious mystical family known for their calm demeanor? Clearly, they were just a bunch of idiots.

After finishing the meal, Yun Qi pulled Qin Luo to his room, tilting her little head seriously, "My grandpa and uncles don’t act like this usually, maybe they’re just nervous because you’re here."

Qin Luo looked at the Little Dumpling whose big eyes blinked, showing a layer of mist that made them sparkle and clear, proving she truly didn’t know.

He then lowered his head and chuckled quietly, "I can guess what they’re thinking."

"Hmm?" Yun Qi looked puzzled. Her confusion faded quickly though, as she shook her small head, "Who knows, who cares!"

Qin Luo’s phone rang, and his slender fingers grasped it as he answered the call with a composed face.

Yun Qi watched him with her head tilted, and once he hung up, she asked almost knowingly, "Was it from Guyue County?"

"Mm."

Since they took their private plane, it only took a few hours to reach the area.

Mr. Qin had dispatched his most trusted and elite this time.

Following Yun Qi’s direction, they quickly found the place.

"I told them to set up a video call so you can guide them on-site."

Yun Qi nodded, not needing to be told, she already guessed that the discovered location must be extremely perilous, where ordinary people, even brave and battle-hardened soldiers, would not dare to act rashly.
