"Spirit Platform Obscured, Ziwei Falling..."
"This big sister, you seem to be in big trouble!" Yaoyao said in a clear, crisp voice.
This voice made the woman, who was originally wondering how to tactfully open her mouth, tremble all over, a look of shock appearing in her eyes.
Indeed, fame was well-deserved. It seemed her visit this time was a gamble that paid off. She slightly steadied her mind and respectfully bowed to the child before her.
"Fu Hongying of the Fu family greets Master Yaoyao. Master's ability to divine is indeed the most formidable Hongying has ever witnessed."
The latter slowly nodded upon hearing this, instinctively reporting her family name and generously admitting the prophecy.
"Fu family of the South City?" Yaoyao's brow twitched slightly.
She had been in the Gu family for some time and had some understanding of the prominent families in the imperial capital. If the Gu family was the richest in the capital, then the Fu family was closely behind.
Moreover, the latter family's main business was not commerce, but more about power; they were a truly influential aristocratic family.
"It is our good fortune that Master remembers us."
Fu Hongying had come with a request, so her posture was naturally very humble. Yaoyao, however, shook her head upon hearing this.
"Big sister, since you could find your way to the Gu family, you should also know my personality. There's no need to be so polite."
"Your Parents' Palace is afflicted, and your originally protective Ziwei Emperor Star is dim. What you seek should be for your father, right?"
Parents are the primary protectors of their children. If they achieve fame and success and have no conflicting detrimental influences, then Ziwei will manifest in their children's Parents' Palace.
With Ziwei guarding the palace and purple qi coming from the east, children naturally enjoy blessings and prosperity, living a life of peace and wealth.
But there was also a problem: that was when the children were useless.
In such a case, the "Ziwei" star would fall, and all blessings and prosperity would transform into "wealth without blessings." The backlash of luck could be said to cause endless misfortune.
Evidently, this big sister was in this very situation.
Fu Hongying didn't expect that in just one glance, the latter would reveal her secret. Her face turned slightly pale.
Immediately after, she forced a wry smile and said, "As Master said, my father... was harmed by someone."
Fu Hongying instinctively took a breath when she saw the other person's gaze. Things had reached this point; she had no need to conceal anything and explained everything in detail.
"Some time ago, my father returned from an inspection trip abroad and began to feel unwell mentally. At first, I thought he was just tired and didn't take it seriously."
But gradually, things changed. Her father's sleep duration went from six hours to twelve hours...
Until now, he only remained conscious for two or three hours a day, which completely defied common sense.
Fu Hongying anxiously contacted their private doctor. After a thorough examination, no illness was found.
On the contrary, all of her father's physical indicators were strangely "rejuvenating."
This was the conclusion given by the private doctor. In short, he was regressing to a younger age.
Fu Hongying's head buzzed when she heard this conclusion. She trusted the doctor's capabilities.
After all, to be chosen by the Fu family, their medical skills were undoubtedly top-notch. The conclusions they gave would likely be similar even if verified at major hospitals.
Everyone is subject to birth, aging, illness, and death. If her father's lifespan was simply reaching its end, she wouldn't defy life and death.
But in his current state, her father seemed more like he was being possessed by a malevolent spirit. Thinking of this, Fu Hongying couldn't sit still.
And the Fu family, being an aristocratic family, had money that could make ghosts push millstones; this was not an exaggeration.
She had been exposed to extraordinary circles since childhood, and this included the Xuanmen...
Coincidentally, after Yaoyao caused a big commotion in the Xuanmen not long ago, Fu Hongying sought her out and naturally heard some rumors.
Her heart immediately shook greatly. And her father's illness, even several ordinary Xuan Masters were helpless against it.
Perhaps a sect leader-level cultivator would have a way, but her own status was not quite qualified.
If it weren't for learning that Yaoyao was a new young lady taken in by the Gu family, and that she had some acquaintance with the Gu family, she wouldn't have dared to visit uninvited.
"Getting younger, and unable to wake up? Big sister, can you tell me where your uncle was on his business trip?"
Yaoyao tilted her head, her large eyes shining brightly, as if shattered stars sparkled within them.
She was well aware that this big sister was able to have her father pick her up, so they clearly had some connection.
And since the person came to her, as long as it wasn't too thorny, Yaoyao didn't mind solving it easily. This could also be considered helping her father repay a favor.
Fu Hongying's face immediately lit up, for the latter's question implied a willingness to help.
She answered without hesitation, "My father went to Myanmar and Laos. There were several important family businesses there that needed to be negotiated."
These two countries belonged to Southeast Asia. Although their economic resources were not developed, they had many mineral veins.
The mine her father had taken over was a pink diamond mine. Based on market value, it was worth at least tens of billions, so the family naturally valued it.
"What's wrong, Master? Is it related to the region?" Fu Hongying asked somewhat anxiously.
One should know that these two countries had always had a bad reputation domestically. However, when her father went there, his bodyguards were always by his side, and he kept a low profile.
When he returned, his bodyguards didn't even have a scratch, so it didn't seem like there were any major problems.
"It's hard to say now. I'll go with you, big sister. Only after seeing your uncle can I tell you properly."
Yaoyao already had most of her suspicions, but she wasn't in a hurry to say them. She had just about finished eating, so she put down her chopsticks.
"Then I'll trouble Master!" Fu Hongying said impatiently.
Just now, Master was eating, and she didn't feel comfortable speaking up. Now that Master brought it up herself, how could she not be eager?
"I want to go too!" Gu Xiaoyu saw Yaoyao leave the table and quickly followed, clearly mastering the role of a little follower.
It was not good for two children to go by themselves, especially to a distinguished family like the Fu family. Gu Xuesong turned to ask his third son to accompany them.
As for himself, he couldn't go; he had a company meeting soon and couldn't leave.
"Alright, I don't have any official duties anyway."
Gu Jinnian smiled and stood up. However, as soon as he moved, Gu Panpan also couldn't sit still.
He didn't dare to ask his father, so he could only pitifully lean on his little aunt. His pitiful eyes were very obvious; he also wanted to go out.
God knew how much anger copying the Disciples' Rules had brought him. He had originally thought his sincerity would move his little aunt to explain, but he miscalculated.
"Not this time, okay? We're going to someone else's house to solve a problem, and too many people would be very impolite."
"Panpan, be good. You can't go this time. Later, Auntie will take you to Fire Cloud Temple to steal bird eggs!"
Yaoyao said seriously, her face stern. She didn't directly refuse but gave a reason.
After all, she was a junior elder and couldn't let the younger generation cause trouble. The best way to resolve conflicts was to distract them.
Her great-nephew loved to play, and stealing bird eggs was such a novel thing that he would definitely not refuse.
As expected, the latter's bowed head, which had been rejected, now shot up.
His dark eyes sparkled, clearly "hooked."
