Chapter 21: The Third World Heavenly Master Family
"The world is being extracted——"
"The world extraction is complete, host, please prepare yourself——"
"The world plot has been successfully opened. I wish the host a pleasant journey—"
------------
City A, Gu’s residence.
The beautiful woman in black knelt before Old Man Gu, holding her newborn baby. She bowed her head and said respectfully, "Master, the young master and young mistress have passed away. When I arrived at the scene, I only saw their child, a boy."
Old Master Gu’s hair was gray, and he raised his hands tremblingly, “Child, let me see.”
The woman stood up, bent slightly without raising her head, walked forward, and carefully handed the sleeping baby in her arms to Mr. Gu.
The old man carefully took the baby and touched the baby's wrinkled face with his rough fingers. His eyes were kind, but tears were streaming down his face.
"From now on, you can call me Gu Chang."
The Gu family in City A is a clan of heavenly masters who serve the mythical beast Bai Ze and are proficient in Taoism and talismans.
The men of the Gu family are born with a pair of yin-yang eyes that can detect ghosts and monsters. Furthermore, any child born to a Gu family wife is always a boy, with girls being extremely rare. This translates to a girl being born only once every hundred years.
Three years later.
Gu family.
Today is the birthday of Mr. Gu’s grandson Gu Chang.
It is said that when the child drew lots for his first birthday, he drew a cinnabar pen. Originally, Mr. Gu did not intend to let the child follow the same path as his father, but the child dug out the cinnabar pen hidden in the innermost of a pile of things.
Mr. Gu was so angry that his face turned blue.
When I was two years old, I would draw everywhere with a cinnabar pen every day. Fortunately, it was all paint water, so nothing happened.
When he was three years old, the hand holding the cinnabar pen began to learn to draw talismans honestly.
On this day, many people came and went in the Gu family.
Old Master Gu was talking to someone in the hall, and the two mustaches at the corners of his lips trembled with laughter.
Three-year-old Gu Chang is delicate and cute, with a pair of grape-like black eyes that move around flexibly, looking very clever.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no maid watching his door, he quickly ran down the stairs on the other side and went to the garden.
It was July, and the weather was very hot. Gu Chang tugged at the small bow tie around his neck. He was going to go play with Xiao Hei, his big black dog. Xiao Hei had tight, shiny fur all over his body, and was a well-behaved and lovable person.
As a result, he turned around and around but couldn't find it. Gu Chang wrinkled his pretty little nose and called "Xiao Hei" a few times, and heard Xiao Hei's response.
Gu Chang walked towards the field where wisteria flowers were planted, and saw his Xiao Hei lying on the ground, leaning against a little boy he had never seen before.
The child had very long eyelashes, like a small fan, snow-white skin, and very black hair. His eyes were amber, with a very beautiful color like candy. He was wearing British-style overalls and was taller than Gu Chang.
Gu Chang was stunned. He had never seen this child before.
"You... who are you?" Gu Chang covered his rapidly beating heart with his small hands, his cheeks stained with a faint blush. He felt very nervous. He obviously didn't feel this nervous when facing his angry grandfather.
It's like... it's like the nervous feeling of being afraid of breaking something beloved.
"Xuan Liang." The child said lightly.
"I, I, I—my name is Gu Chang!" Gu Cheng was so excited that he spoke! He spoke!
"Young master! Young master—where are you?" The voice of the maid Ellie came from a distance.
Xuan Liang glanced at Gu Chang and turned to leave. Gu Chang got anxious and grabbed his hand, "Where are you going?"
Xuan Liang looked at his captured hand, and the corners of his lips suddenly curled up. His amber eyes stared at Gu Chang, "You are the one who captured me."
Gu Chang, “?” What does that mean?
In a moment of distraction, Xuan Liang disappeared. Gu Chang stared blankly at the hand that he had held Xuan Liang with. It seemed as if he had held a piece of ice just now.
After the maid Ai Li found Gu Chang, she took Gu Chang's hand and said, "Young Master, today is a very important day. Don't go too far."
Gu Chang came back to his senses when he felt the warm temperature coming from the other hand. He hummed casually a few times. Isn't it his birthday?
In the hall, everyone looked at Gu Chang, who was wearing a small suit, walking towards Mr. Gu calmly.
Old Master Gu rubbed Gu Chang's soft head and said lovingly, "Come and look, this is your cousin Bai Xinyue, who is two months younger than you."
Gu Chang looked at the girl whose hand was being held. She was wearing a pink princess dress and a pearl hairpin on her head. Her brown hair was shoulder-length and slightly curly.
The little girl has thick, upturned eyelashes, a straight nose, and bright red lips. She looks very cute with her pink and tender skin.
Bai Xinyue nervously pinched the hem of her skirt and called out softly, "Brother Gu..."
This sound made Gu Chang feel disgusted for no reason. There was no expression on his face, which could be said to be very indifferent. "Oh."
He didn't like Bai Xinyue calling him brother. Although the child was young, he knew that he shouldn't show disgust at this time. He turned around and hugged Old Man Gu, saying, "Grandpa, where is the gift you promised to give me?"
The adults around laughed in good faith, only to find that the child's attention was quickly diverted.
But Bai Xinyue lowered her head and pinched the small flower on the hem of her skirt, her fingertips turning white from clenching.
She felt that Gu Chang had no intention of liking her, perhaps because he was too young? No matter what, she had to make Gu Chang fall in love with her like he did in his previous life!
She vaguely remembered that she met Gu Chang when she was three years old because he was being bullied by a group of children and she went over to rescue him. In fact, she just helped him out because she thought Gu Chang was good-looking.
Later, as she grew older, Gu Chang treated her like a younger sister and doted on her. No matter what problems she encountered, Gu Chang could always solve them. This made her very happy in her previous life.
Although she didn't know why, in her previous life, she was about to marry the brothers who doted on her, but she slept and turned into her three-year-old self the next day. Bai Xinyue's intuition told her that she had been tricked. Since she couldn't figure out who did it, then this life would be exactly the same as the last one!
In order to make this life no different from the previous one, Bai Xinyue decided to have a good relationship with Gu Chang.
Gu Chang, who didn't know Bai Xinyue's plan yet, heard his grandfather say, "I'll give you the birthday present later, don't worry."
At this birthday party, Grandpa Gu mainly wanted Gu Chang to meet some of the direct relatives of the Gu family. A few people from the collateral branches came, all with flattering smiles on their faces, but Gu Chang just glanced at them lightly and ignored them.
The Tianshi families in City A mainly include old-established Tianshi families such as the Gu family, the Shen family and the Zhang family, while the others are small families.
Three companies jointly created a Tianshi Alliance, which is a place specifically for Tianshi to make money and manage Tianshi. All Tianshi must register with the Tianshi Alliance to ensure that there is a certain distance between Tianshi and ordinary people.
There are three basic levels of Heavenly Masters: low-level, intermediate-level, and high-level. Above that are even more powerful Heavenly Master levels.
Shen Chu, the head of the Shen family, was talking to Old Man Gu, who was about forty years old. Gu Chang immediately became excited when he heard him mention Shen Xuanliang.
"He is only five years old now, but he has shown that he is different from ordinary people. He is born with strong spiritual power and is a good candidate to become a celestial master." Shen Chu frowned slightly. His eyebrows were a little sharp, but because of the polishing of time, he seemed a little gentle.
"But he is too aloof and doesn't like talking to people."
"Well, bring your son here some other day and let Xiao Chang play with him. He hasn't interacted with children of the same age yet, so it might be a good idea to give it a try." Old Master Gu narrowed his eyes.
Shen Chu thought about it and said, "That's right." Then he agreed to Mr. Gu's suggestion.
The two chatted about other things and Gu Chang didn't pay any attention to it. He just thought that Shen Xuanliang was his new playmate, so he had to treat him well.
Then a few days later, Shen Xuanliang came as expected.
As Gu Chang leaned against the window and watched the child walk through the front door of the Gu residence, his grape-shaped eyes suddenly widened. Isn't that the porcelain doll I saw in the garden that day?!
Shen Xuanliang looked up and met Gu Chang's eyes.
Gu Chang suddenly turned around, went downstairs and ran outside. He saw Shen Xuanliang walking slowly towards him, with bodyguards behind him dragging his luggage. Old Master Gu was standing not far away talking to the head of the Shen family.
Suddenly Shen Xuanliang smiled at him, his amber eyes becoming more clear and beautiful in the sunlight.
Gu Chang, "..." The three-year-old child secretly decided that he must protect the porcelain doll in the future, because such a beautiful porcelain doll is his.
When Gu Chang was five years old, his Yin-Yang eyes opened.
From then on, Gu Chang opened the door to a new world. While at school, he could always see ghosts hiding in the shadows. At night, the world became a world of ghosts and monsters. He possessed the Gu family's ancestral spiritual jade, so ordinary ghosts would avoid him. Although he learned more and more, it was nothing compared to Shen Xuanliang.
Gu Chang was aroused by his competitive spirit, and thus unilaterally started a war without gunpowder with Shen Xuanliang.
Shen Xuanliang knew what the child was thinking, but he didn't expose it. After all, the way the child looked at him was quite amusing.
When he was in high school, Shen Xuanliang left the Gu family because of some problems at home.
Gu Chang was still feeling a bit uncomfortable without Shen Xuanliang around. Especially since Shen Xuanliang had a physique that kept him warm in winter and cool in summer. This was like a warm stove for Gu Chang, who was afraid of the cold in winter.
Fortunately, it is the next semester now and it is still a long way to go before winter.
After evening self-study, Gu Chang packed up his things and thought about Shen Xuanliang's absence for the past few days, his eyes darkened. This guy was also like this, leaving without even sending a message to say how he was doing.
It made me feel like a young wife waiting for her husband to come home. Thinking of this, Gu Chang's face darkened, and he grabbed his schoolbag and walked out of the classroom.
Old Master Gu sincerely wanted Gu Chang to interact more with ordinary people and stay away from certain things as much as possible. So Gu Chang is now studying in the top-ranked high school in City A. Fortunately, Gu Chang has good grades and is doing well here.
"Gu Chang, can you come with me to the Moon Lake in the school? I have something to tell you." A pretty girl came over and spoke shyly.
Some students who had not left saw this scene and exchanged glances secretly, with ambiguous expressions on their faces.
Gu Chang wasn't bad looking. His grape-shaped eyes, which had been his childhood, had begun to lengthen as he grew older. His eyes were slightly upturned, his lashes were thick and long, and his dark pupils were fixed on the girl before him. His nose was straight, and his lips were a light pink, slightly darker at the corners from his constant pursing. He had a naturally fair complexion, a thin build, and a cool aura.
This was not the first time that Gu Chang had received such an invitation. In the past, because Shen Xuanliang was there, he would have refused such an invitation. However, Shen Xuanliang had not come for a few days, and he felt a little annoyed.
"If you have something to say, just say it quickly." There was some impatience in Gu Chang's eyes. His height of over 1.8 meters brought a slight sense of oppression as he passed by the girl.
The girl took a few deep breaths and followed Gu Chang out of the classroom under the encouraging gaze of her friend.
The school has an artificial lake shaped like a crescent moon, hence the name Moon Lake. It is a famous love spot on campus.
The usually bustling Moon Lake is unusually quiet.
Gu Chang was feeling irritated and didn't pay much attention to his surroundings. He walked to the bench next to Moon Lake where people could rest, turned around, and waited for the girl to speak.
"Gu Chang... I like you! Can you - can you go out with me?" The girl mustered up her courage, her face flushed.
Gu Chang sighed, frowned his beautiful eyebrows, and his cold eyes revealed a sense of alienation, "Sorry, I don't plan to fall in love now, sorry."
When the girl heard this, her body stiffened, she stammered, and then said, "I understand. Thank you."
Suddenly, a cool breeze blew, and Gu Chang stood up straight in an instant. He smelled a hint of decay. Gu Chang walked over to the girl and stuffed a triangular amulet into her hand. He lowered his voice and said, "Go back quickly, your classmates should still be waiting for you outside." After that, he pushed the girl out.
The girl subconsciously clenched the talisman in her hand, and before she could figure it out, she saw Gu Chang's fierce eyes sweeping over.
The girl said, "..." She only realized today that her idol had such a vicious side.
He turned around and ran away.
Gu Chang cast a barrier and said lightly, "Come out, you've been looking long enough." He put his hands in his pockets and casually glanced at the calm lake.
"Why? Why did you reject her?" A gloomy and malicious aura came to his face.
