As the four people were eating dessert and occasionally chatting, irregular and chaotic footsteps sounded.
"Jingyi, stop fooling around. Can you please take your dicine first, okay?"
Following that was a girl’s patient and almost coaxing voice.
The four looked toward the source of the sound.
They saw Wanqi Jingyi and Gao Jingwen heading towards the garden, one running in front with a face full of disdain.
Behind him was Gao Jingwen chasing, holding a water bottle in one hand and loosely making a fist with the other.
When Wanqi Jingyi saw Wanqi Heyang, his face showed delight as he rushed over.
"Yangyang!"
He hid behind Wanqi Heyang, watching the approaching Gao Jingwen warily, eyes filled with panic and a look of rejection.
"Huff huff..."
Gao Jingwen caught up, breathing heavily.
She walked to Wanqi Heyang and spoke unevenly to the man hiding behind him, "Jingyi, you must take this dicine. After taking it, I’ll give you your favorite ice cream, okay?"
"No!"
A firm voice of resistance ca from behind Wanqi Heyang.
Such a scene was sothing Wanqi Heyang and Wanqi Yihai were long used to.
This kind of scene was common in the Wanqi Family.
However, Gu Jin and An Mingji felt a sense of discord.
Wanqi Jingyi, a tall and handso man, acting like a child, wasn’t unseemly, but it entirely clashed with his elite aura.
The clarity in his eyes and the childishness on his face did not match his tall fra.
It was like a three or four-year-old child was sealed within his body.
Gu Jin glanced at the dicine visible in Gao Jingwen’s hand and slowly put down the fruit fork and spoon she was holding.
"This dicine won’t help the eldest young master."
Upon hearing this, everyone present turned their gaze towards her.
"What do you an by that?" Wanqi Yihai couldn’t help but ask first.
Gu Jin pointed at the pills in Gao Jingwen’s hand and asked, "These should be dications for nerve treatnt, right?"
"Yes." Gao Jingwen responded.
She knew Gu Jin was a distinguished guest of the Wanqi Family. Although the origins of this woman were unknown, she was treated with caution by everyone in the family.
Therefore, her attitude was also sowhat respectful.
"The eldest young master seems to have lost his soul."
Gu Jin looked towards Wanqi Jingyi and said this.
Her expression was inscrutable, quite... intimidating.
"..." Wanqi Heyang.
"..." Wanqi Yihai.
"..." Gao Jingwen.
Even An Mingji raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, adjusting the fra of his glasses.
Normal people have auras of different colors: black, white, black-gray, or perhaps...
Gu Jin glanced at An Mingji sitting beside her, his entire body exuding a strong Purple Qi.
She continued, "Or it’s that the vessel within the eldest young master’s body has had its energy destroyed. The ancient saying goes that humans have Three Souls and Seven Spirits. The eldest young master is now lacking a soul, missing a fragnt of soul energy, thus his consciousness is naturally unclear.
I suppose this is related to a strange illness he had three years ago during which his cultivation was abolished. It’s just unclear whether the missing energy was erased by soone, hidden subconsciously by him, or also perhaps —"
Gu Jin stopped here.
Her gaze on Wanqi Jingyi suddenly stirred.
She discovered faint traces of spiritual power subtly hidden in his Dantian.
"Or perhaps what?" Wanqi Heyang stared intently at Gu Jin, eager to get an answer from her.
"Or perhaps for self-preservation, leaving paths of retreat."
Gu Jin slightly narrowed her eyes.
As her words concluded, the phone in her pocket rang.
