“I can’t imagine that Patriarch Gu is quite profoundly righteous,” Lou Ming said with some surprise. The White Mountain Sect had produced a disciple like Qi Changming, so he could be considered as an exceptional bamboo shoot out of evil shoots.

“Not really.” Master Mao shook his head. “There are rumors that two days before Qi Changming ran back, someone came to the door and exterminated several Ghost Kings of the White Mountain Sect.  The Sect was afraid of suffering a family extermination calamity, so they did not dare to shelter Qi Changming.”

“Who is so powerful?” Lou Ming wondered in amazement.

“I heard that the expert went there to avenge his disciple,” Master Mao recalled.

“Shishi’s grandfather?” Lou Ming instantly reacted.

“As far as I’m concerned, only Qi Changming is the disciple of the White Mountain Sect who has practiced outside, and the only person in metaphysics that he has offended recently is Little Friend Chen.” Master Mao’s words almost confirmed Lou Ming’s guess.

“I never thought Shishi’s grandfather was so powerful,” Lou Ming exclaimed.

“That’s why… you must meet Little Friend Chen’s grandfather as soon as possible,” Master Mao said, “Maybe he really will have a cure.”

“Mm.” Lou Ming nodded.

Master Mao set his mind at ease when he saw Lou Ming’s nod, then he fished out a bracelet made of three red ropes, with a coin-size jade piece pendant from his Daoist robe, and said, “This is the amulet that Little Friend Chen asked me to refine. Please pass it to her for me.”

“Shishi will be very happy to see it.” Lou Ming smiled, “Thank you for your trouble.”

Master Mao changed the subject and asked, “How are you feeling lately? Is there anything you don’t feel comfortable with after we unsealed your Yin Yang Eye?”

“Everything is quite normal, except that when I went to the National Academy of Sciences two days ago, I saw some ghosts on the road.” Lou Ming laughed. “It’s only then that I discovered how crowded the capital is at night.”

Master Mao laughed. After chatting with Lou Ming for a while, he left the small building.

After Master Mao left, Lou Ming planned to keep the amulet on the coffee table, but just as he raised his hand, he suddenly withdrew it again and summoned Tian Fei instead.

Tian Fei found a box to put the amulet away, while saying, “Young Master, there was another call from the military factory just now.”

“Why? Did the prototype still fail to achieve the expected effect?” In May this year, Lou Ming forwarded the design of one of his newly designed intelligent weapons to the military factory for them to mass produce. In order to produce this batch of weapons, the state invested particularly heavily. Against all expectations, when the first batch of prototypes came out, it was found that the weapons had a 10% possibility to spontaneously self-destruct.

With such a big hidden danger, the state wouldn’t distribute it to the army. After receiving the feedback, Lou Ming gave remote coaching multiple times, but the effect was still not obvious.

“Yes, Section Chief Wang said he filmed the whole production process of the latest batch of weapons for you, and asked you to make some comments after watching it.” Tian Fei said, “I have the video file on the desktop computer in the study.”

“Okay, I’ll go watch it now.” Before the weapon design was handed over to the military factory, Lou Ming himself had produced a prototype, and all the data of the weapon were very stable. He just didn’t know why frequent problems occurred after it arrived at the military factory.

For scientists, disregarding meal times and going without sleep to work was the norm, and Lou Ming was no exception. He carried on with the research late into the night. Chen Yu waited until everyone in the family fell asleep before running over through the window again, but he still did not leave the study.

“Where is Third Brother?” Chen Yu asked while handing Tian Fei the Evil Repelling Talisman she had drawn today.

“Young Master is working in the study,” Tian Fei replied as he took out the box under the coffee table and handed it to Chen Yu. “Young Master asked me to pass this on to you.”

Chen Yu opened it curiously and found that it was a three spirit qi-filled Protective Talisman, and the aura on it was authentic Daoist healthy qi. It was much stronger than the Peace Talisman she had drawn herself. A happy smile immediately smeared Chen Yu’s eyebrows: “It’s an amulet that Master Mao made. Master Mao is indeed powerful.”

Tian Fei smiled, turned around and was about to go and heat up dinner again, in case his Young Master was hungry and wanted to eat. Just as he turned around, a flicker suddenly flashed in his eyes. He turned back to Chen Yu and said politely, “Miss Chen Yu, Young Master hasn’t eaten dinner until now. I will go and heat up the food. Can you help me go upstairs and ask him to come down for dinner?”

“Third Brother hasn’t eaten dinner yet? Why didn’t you guys call him earlier?” Chen Yu said and stood up, “Quickly go and heat it up. I’ll go and call Third Brother down.”

After saying that, Chen Yu stomped upstairs in a jog.

Tian Fei revealed a triumphant smile and quickly slipped to the kitchen.
