Seeing that things had finally come to an end, everyone also remembered the main goal of this banquet. Wasn’t this the banquet for Mr. Xia to decide his successor? Now that Master Gu invited by Xia Yangshuo had solved the problem, could it be that…
Xia Yangshuo almost fainted after realizing this. He really wanted to get this position, but he never thought that this position might actually fall on him. He suddenly turned red with excitement and was speechless for a long time.
“You all come here.” Mr. Xia looked at the Xia family descendants around him, as if he was about to announce something important.
They immediately stepped forward. Although they were jealous of Xia Yangshuo, there was nothing they could do about it. How could the other party be lucky enough to invite someone like Master Gu?
Xia Yangshuo stood beside Gu Wuji and couldn’t help but take a deep breath, otherwise he felt that he might fall into a coma.
“This banquet was originally held to determine the heir of the Xia family.” Mr. Xia said: “After what happened before, I finally have an idea in my mind.”
Mr. Xia looked in Gu Wuji’s direction, with nostalgia still in his eyes, Gu Wuji couldn’t help but be confused, thinking about what he was missing when he looked at him…
Soon Gu Wuji knew what Mr. Xia was thinking.
“Thanks to Master Gu, I can realize my wish.” Mr. Xia’s tone was full of appreciation, “Therefore, I decided -“
….
Ning Yang hurriedly carried the housekeeper on his shoulders, and finally arrived at the stairs.
He didn’t care too much at first, but he encountered various ghosts along the way, and many ghosts came to pester him. Although these ghosts were within the range that he could deal with, things became more troublesome since the butler was around.
… So it ended up taking a lot of time such that they didn’t finally come down until everything was over.
“Is Master Gu okay…” Ning Yang thought, but from the second floor stairs, he saw at a glance that the Xia family members were gathered together below, and Mr. Xia was still saying something to Gu Wuji.
“The person from the Xia family who can marry Master Gu will be the future heir of my Xia family.” Mr. Xia said this.
Gu Wuji: “…”
Gu Wuji: “??” It’s okay to recall his past, but he still does this.
He felt that Mr. Xia had a poisonous mind when it came to relationships, otherwise how could things have turned out like this.
Others: “…”
Even Xia Yangshuo, who was originally the most excited and thought he was about to succeed, became stiff.
How did things come to this?!
No one knew Gu Wuji’s true identity better than Xia Yangshuo. Master Gu definitely could not be with a man!
Ning Yang almost insulted him when he heard this. Which one of these Xia family members was worthy of Master Gu? A toad also wants to eat swan meat.
To Ning Yang’s relief, Gu Wuji was the first to refuse, saying that he had no intention of doing so.
Others also felt that such behavior was not good, and immediately wanted to persuade him, but the old man looked tired and said that he wanted to rest. It was obvious that he was very determined.
In fact, Mr. Xia had deeply felt some kind of crisis, and Gu Wuji was such a reliable person. If the younger generation could successfully get involved with Gu Wuji, they would definitely get a lot of benefits… If these people couldn’t even do this, then don’t want to inherit the Xia family’s property.
In short, it meant that they would discuss it in detail in the future. Anyway, the old man was also very strong and nothing would happen to him for the time being. Everyone just had to wait for him to change his mind.
Of course, some members of the Xia family suddenly had the idea of seducing Gu Wuji, and they were all eager to try.
At this time, the gloom in the house completely dissipated, and there was no longer that weird feeling. The ghost outside the window also disappeared, the lights turned on, and everything returned to normal.
[Completed random real-world task.]
[The player is rewarded with 2,000 points and a chance to load files in the dungeon.]
Gu Wuji was surprised. The 2,000 points were nothing, but the opportunity to load files later was too shocking. Even though this system had called itself a game from the beginning, no player would really think that it was just a game.
He had never thought that there was such an operation as loading files in this system. If he could load files and start over after being killed by a ghost, wouldn’t he have an extra life?
Such a reward was simply what all players dreamt of. As a result, he was rewarded with it so casually this time, which made Gu Wuji feel unreal.
[The player received a new prop in this mission.]
[Rab Doll: It looks like an ordinary doll, but in fact the material is very special, allowing ghosts to attach to it and communicate with ordinary people. If special methods are used, this doll can be used as a medium for evil spirits to appear.]
Gu Wuji quickly put the doll away. Such dangerous things must not be spread. Who would use such a thing in the real world.
[After the mission is over, the memory of ordinary people will slowly disappear and most things will be forgotten, but the most impressive things will be adjusted by the rules of the world.]
Everyone in the room immediately changed their expressions, feeling as if they had suddenly forgotten something, “What happened just now?”
“Ah, I remembered, there seemed to be a sudden power outage, and then Mr. Xia had a heart attack. But thanks to Miss Gu’s help, Mr. Xia was safe and sound…”
“Although I don’t remember clearly, Miss Gu is really good. No wonder Mr. Xia wants her to be the heir’s wife.”
Everyone started talking immediately, although what they remembered were just such kind of things, but they didn’t know why, they just felt that Gu Wuji was particularly strong, and they had an inexplicable good feeling towards him in their heart.
Gu Wuji: “…” It’s okay, the patches by the world rules are pretty reliable.
Of course, the memories of those involved in this incident who originally knew there was a ghost had not changed much.
Presumably after tonight, the mysterious female Master Gu would become famous, but Gu Wuji knew that she would basically never appear again.
Not long after, the Xia family immediately started to investigate and found the actress in white clothes who was originally going to play the scary female ghost in a hidden corner. She claimed that she fainted inexplicably before the start and had no idea what happened.
As for the father and son who wanted to cause trouble, they were also found unconscious on the second floor. When they woke up, they said they had forgotten everything…
In fact, it was the black shadow ghost who saved these two people when passing by. In addition, the female ghost had just appeared at that time and was not that powerful, so it let these two people go.
Although they managed to save their lives, the plan was immediately exposed, letting everyone know that the father and son had hired actors to pretend to be ghosts in order to scare people for the sake of property, so all the other strange things in the house were naturally blamed on them. That night the two men were turned and sent to the police station.
They were both at a loss, feeling that they had obviously not done so many things.
Moreover, those who ran out to call the police at the beginning were found unconscious in the garden, and their memories were also broken, and they all stopped at the moment when they ran out.
Although what happened tonight was very strange, it was almost over, and surprisingly no one died.
The masters invited by the young master of the Xia family were even more amazed when they looked at Gu Wuji. If they had not known that Gu Wuji would not have agreed, and they also had restrictions there, they even wanted to pay their respects and recognize her as a teacher here.
Ning Yang walked over. He felt that after what happened tonight, the distance between him and Gu Wuji was obviously getting closer. Gu Wuji even saved his life! If it were now, maybe he could take this opportunity to exchange contact information with Gu Wuji…
But Gu Wuji immediately received a prompt from the system, telling him that the time to disguise himself was about to end.
For some reason, Gu Wuji had the illusion that he was like Cinderella, and he would worry about revealing his true identity at midnight… He never wanted these people to know his true identity!
Gu Wuji immediately said that he still had something to do and took the first step. He grabbed Xia Yangshuo and hurried out. He only had time to say to Ning Yang, “You did a good job” before he disappeared.
Ning Yang was left behind, feeling disappointed and excited, until his whole body sank into it.
….
After the banquet, the room obviously became cold, with only the servants still cleaning.
In a hidden place, Xia Xi and the masked man who were supposed to leave appeared here, and there was a numb-looking servant standing in front of them.
If anyone else here could see, they would definitely notice this was the servant who went to check the masked man’s true face before.
“You did a good job. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to do it just by relying on that female ghost.” Xia Xi looked at the servant and smiled, then a pair of eyes that were faintly red in this dim place appeared, “But now, everything is over, you can sleep.”
When the servant heard this, he picked up a sharp dagger from the side and pierced it into his heart.
Xia Xi then sighed, but his tone was very indifferent, “But thinking about it, my identity will most likely be exposed… I probably can’t keep this body anymore.”
