In the Su Mansion, Su Fengfei was watching television. Gu Xiali was sitting beside him and reading books. Su Fengfei suddenly asked, "Have you heard any news from the class today?"
"Iâve talked to Xiao Lin yesterday. There is no reason to bother her every day." Gu Xiali curtly replied.
Su Fengfei showed interest. "What did she say?"
"She is doing great." Gu Xiali doesnât like to talk much and Xue Lin doesnât talk a lot with people she is not close with.
Ge Chen was satisfied. "Thatâs good. Iâve talked to Ming Yu in the morning. He said that she was getting along with the students very well. I was thinking maybe she would rob the students of their money but she didnât. It surprised me."
Gu Xiali replied, "Maybe itâs because she does that only to rich customers, and dear, donât say ârobâ. Itâll ruin our family reputation."
"You are right." Su Fengfei yawned. "Letâs go to bed. Iâm sleepy."
"Sure." Gu Xiali immediately closed the book after bookmarking it.
Ever since they got married, whenever they were together, they would go to bed together. Even if sometimes Gu Xiali would get mad at him or they had a fight, as long as they were in the same building, they would go to bed together. It had become their unwritten rule.
When they were sleeping, suddenly the cell phone rang. It was Gu Xialiâs cellphone. Su Fengfei woke up first and without opening his eyes, he answered the call. "Hello?"
A nervous voice said, "Master Su, Iâm Wei WenYing. I know itâs too late to call, but itâs urgent. May I talk to Madam Su?"
Su Fengfei was stunned. "Priest WenYing?! Iâll wake up my wife." He shoved Gu Xialiâs body. "Darling, wake up. Itâs an urgent call."
Gu Xiali frowned and woke up. "Who on earth called me at a time like this?" She sounded sleepy.
Su Fengfei answered, "Itâs Priest WenYing."
Gu Xiali sat up and asked, "Huh? What does he want?"
"He wants to tell you something important." Su Fengfei handed her the cellphone.
Gu Xiali spoke, "Priest Wei WenYing, whatâs the urgent matter?"
Priest Wei WenYing is the Gu Familyâs priest. The Gu Family is well-known for its spiritual power and belief. The temple of the Four Gods has been under their care for generations. The familyâs first child always takes care of the temple while others do business. Priest Wei WenYing was a disciple of the Gu Family when he was young and became the high priest because of his virtue and dedication when he was thirty years old.
Priest Wei WenYing said, "Madam Su, something terrible has happened. The seal of Suzaku has been broken."
Gu Xiali got up from the bed. All traces of sleepiness gone from her face. "Broken?! When did that happen?"
Priest Wei WenYing was sweating as he answered, "It happened fifteen minutes ago. The priests made a barrier and are now trying to control the evil spirit."
Gu Xiali could hear screams from the other side of the phone. She realized the seriousness of this matter. "Tell them to make another seal."
"For that, we need the Gu Familyâs pure blood and thatâs why I need you." At that moment, while talking to Gu Xiali, Priest Wei WenYing was making a seal with his own blood. It is a temporary solution but thatâs all he can do right now.
"What about the elder brother or the younger brother?" Gu Xiali went to the closet and took out a dress.
Priest Wei WenYing answered, "Master went to the mountains to meditate and the second Master flew to the United States."
"Iâm coming right away." Gu Xiali hung up and called the pilot. She quickly instructed him while wearing her clothes.
"Iâll come with you." Su Fengfei also got up from the bed.
Gu Xiali instantly rejected this idea. "No, stay here. Itâll be dangerous there."
Su Fengfei stubbornly said, "Thatâs why Iâll be there."
Gu Xiali had a headache. She said, "You will surely drag me down if you see me in danger."
"Of course I will!" There was no doubt about it that he would do it.
"..." Gu Xiali was speechless. "Thatâs why I wonât take you. That place isnât for those who cannot withstand it."
Su Fengfei shook his head. "I will not let you go there alone."
"Iâm not at war, dear. Go back to sleep." Gu Xiali kissed his cheek to appease him.
But, it didnât work on him this time. He guessed that something terrible had happened and he would not let his wife go there to handle it alone.
Seeing him all dressed up, Gu Xiali sighed. When he is stubborn, she cannot stop him. They took the helicopter and soon reached the main residence of the Gu Family. The temple was in the middle of the huge area. Some men in white clothes were circling around it and the temple was covered in dark smoke.
"Itâs more serious than I expected." Gu Xiali was astonished.
Su Fengfei stayed silent. His expression didnât look good.
"Madam Su! Master Su!" A boy came running. "Sorry for the late greeting. Please come to the clinic. We need your blood."
"Yes." Gu Xiali and Su Fengfei followed him. Su Fengfei whispered, "They need your blood?! I wonât allow it."
"Thatâs why I didnât want you to come. You will sit and watch and wonât say a word." Ge Xiali gritted her teeth and warned him, "If you donât, I will never let you enter the main house."
"..." Se Fengfei could only nod.
When they went to the clinic, they found Priest Wei WenYing was drawing seal with his blood. His face was already pale due to losing so much blood.
"Priest Wei WenYing, stop making seals with your blood. Iâm here now." Gu Xiali said.
Priest Wei WenYing looked tired. He said, "You have come just on time."
A family nurse came into the room and filled four tubes with Gu Xialiâs blood. Looking at it, Su Fengfeiâs heart ached. He wished he could give his blood instead.
