Chapter 6
Without the eaves of the roof, the formation in the night sky appeared clearly in front of her.
The more she looked, the tighter her brows furrowed.
The large formation almost covered the entire Luo City. It was actually a huge Feng Shui formation that was set up using the entire Luo City and everyone in the city.
The center of the formation was directly facing the building at the back of the Gu family.
It was the Gu family ancestral hall that Shen Qinghe had mentioned earlier.
Lu Miao’s heart skipped a beat as she leaped down from the roof.
Unlike the Lu family, the Gu family had infrared rays and alarm systems everywhere at night. The security was top-notch.
She carefully avoided every corner and walked in the direction of the ancestral hall.
The ever-burning lamp in the ancestral hall emitted a faint yellow light in the night.
On the table in the middle were rows of ancestral tablets of the Gu family.
A person was kneeling on the futon in front of the table. It was Gu Xingyu.
At this moment, she could hear murmurs coming from her mouth saying things like “country bumpkins” and “I won’t forgive you or something”.
It was obvious Gu Xingyu was scolding her.
She had thought that when Shen Qinghe said that she would punish Gu Xingyu, it was just a casual remark, and was unwilling to punish her for real. She did not expect that she would actually punish her own daughter for her.
Her heart couldn’t help but move slightly.
She raised her head and looked at the night sky outside. In the middle of the night sky, there was a memorial tablet on the table.
Clearly, there must be something in this ancestral hall.
However, she pursed her lips and glanced at Gu Xingyu before turning around and returning to her room.
The next morning, Lu Miao ran into Shen Qinghe when she came downstairs after washing up.
Seeing that she had woken up so early, Shen Qinghe could not help but ask with concern, ” Miao Miao, did you not sleep well last night? ”
Previously, she had heard that Lu Miao was lazy in the Lu family and slept until noon every morning.
However, in her eyes, Lu Miao was still a child. Even if she did laze in bed, it wasn’t a big deal.
Lu Miao shook her head. ” No, I’m fine. ”
In the past, when she was with her master, it was common for her to practice all night long so she didn’t have the habit of sleeping in.
This body was too weak for her, and she needed more practice.
“That’s good. This will be your home from now on. If there’s anything you’re not used to, just tell me.” As Shen Qinghe spoke, she raised her hand and rubbed her shoulder.
Somehow, she felt a sudden pain in her shoulder when she touched it. She wrinkled her brow in discomfort.
Lu Miao glanced at her shoulder. ” Aunt Shen, are your shoulders uncomfortable? ”
“Maybe I’ve been too busy recently, and my shoulders have been sore. I’ll be fine after resting for two days.” Shen Qinghe smiled.
Lu Miao took a step forward and raised her hand to sweep Shen Qinghe’s shoulder as if she was sweeping dust.
For some reason, Shen Qinghe suddenly felt that the shoulder that had been aching just a moment ago was suddenly better.
She moved a few times and sure enough, the aching and sluggish feeling was gone.
It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders in an instant..
What she could not see was that the wisps of faint black mist on her shoulder had disappeared along with Lu Miao’s movements.
From the looks of it, although the formation was only targeted at Gu Shiyan, the entire Gu family was at the center of the formation.
The rest of the Gu family would be more or less affected as well.
“Auntie Shen, have you not feeling well recently?” Lu Miao asked.
Shen Qinghe nodded in surprise. ” How did you know? ”
Lu Miao turned around and pointed at the statue, incense burner, and small bronze mirrors in the living room.
“These statues have been placed here for a long time. Every time you go in and out, you will see them at first glance. The statue was imposing, and after a long time, it was easy for people to feel pressured. In addition to the burning incense, although it was high-grade sandalwood, smelling it too much would make one’s sense of smell tired. With the dual pressure of sight and smell, it is natural for Aunt Shen to feel dizzy, mentally exhausted, and unwell. It would be better to move these to a dedicated place for worship and open the living room windows and doors for ventilation. This will not only benefit you but also everyone else’s health.”
The more Shen Qinghe listened, the happier she became. Lu Miao was thoughtful, considerate, and attentive. Her family had really found a treasure.
“Alright, I’ll get someone to move these to the backyard now.”
After saying that, she immediately called the servants to carefully move all these things out.
She didn’t know if it was just her imagination, but after these things were moved away, she seemed to feel much better.
Her head, which had been aching for the past few days, had also become clearer.
” By the way, Miaomiao, school will start in a few days. Do you have any preferred schools? ”
Since she had brought Lu Miao back to the Gu family, she would treat her as her own daughter.
Lu Miao was only 16 years old this year and was in the prime of her youth.
She could not let the Gu family’s matter affect her studies.
Lu Miao said, ” Zhenhai High School. ”
Before Shen Qinghe could say anything, Gu Xingyu, who happened to be coming downstairs, heard her. She sneered and said sarcastically, ” With your single-digit results in all subjects, you still think you can get into Zhenhai High School? Any Tom, Dick, or Harry has a higher chance of entering the school than you.”
