"What did you just say? Whose staff is this?"

Lin Ji Chen thought he was hallucinating and asked quickly.

"Why all the fuss?"

Nüba looked calm and said, "Yuanji Fazong, Gu Qingcheng, you must have heard of her, this magic staff is hers."

"No way, how could her staff appear in your family's treasury?" Lin Ji Chen asked suspiciously.

Nüba snorted softly, "How can that be impossible? She was defeated by me. If I hadn't shown mercy and let her go, she would have been imprisoned in the Ghost Realm Soul-Calming Tower forever and suffered torture."

"Is there such a story? Tell me about it."

Lin Ji Chen became interested. This was Gu Qingcheng's secret past, and others could not hear it even if they wanted to.

This made his gossip fire burn fiercely.

Seeing that he was interested in listening, Nüba began to explain patiently.

"It should be more than a hundred years ago. At that time, Gu Qingcheng didn't seem to be the head yet. She liked to travel around. One time, she disguised herself as a man and came to my ghost world. My stepmother was so obsessed with her that she even eloped with her. After being discovered, I led the troops to capture her. Gu Qingcheng was no match for me at that time and was defeated by me. I originally planned to imprison her in the Soul-Calming Tower. In order to save her, my stepmother was willing to die for her. I let her go for her sake."

Lin Ji Chen felt like his brain was a little confused.

"Wait, you mean, your stepmother? Which one?"

"She is my father's concubine. After my father died, the youngest of the concubines was still alive. She is my stepmother. She is my father's favorite concubine. I didn't expect that she had been single for too long and was bewitched by Gu Qingcheng's handsome appearance. She insulted my father's concubine. I am lucky that I didn't kill her."

Nüba seemed to feel a little unsatisfied whenever she thought about it.

Lin Ji Chen couldn't help but be amazed. It turned out that Master Gu had such a romantic affair when he was young.

She disguised herself as a man and came to the ghost world to seduce female ghosts, and even seduced the concubine of the previous emperor of the ghost world.

I really don't know how brave she is to play such a fancy game.

Lin Jichen looked at the staff in his hand and couldn't help but want to laugh. If he gave this staff to Jiang Luoyu and Gu Qingcheng found out, would she go berserk or even kill him to silence him?

He was a little scared when he thought about it. He might as well not send her off. This woman had a very bad temper and a hot personality, which could easily get irritated.

The last time she discovered Gu Zihan was in China, this tiger woman almost set the entire Jiangling city on fire.

If she knew that her ugly deeds were known to others, I'm afraid she would really erupt like a volcano.

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

"Forget it, I'll take it away first and think about it when I get back." Lin Ji Chen put away the staff and prepared to go back and think about this problem.

Nüba also began to get curious and asked, "From what you said, it seems that you are also very familiar with Sect Leader Gu. Could it be that...she is also your Taoist partner?"

"How is that possible? What are you thinking? I can't afford to offend her." Lin Ji Chen rolled his eyes.

Nüba heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I'm telling you, don't mess with her. Her son is going to die soon. She will be in great pain from losing her son. Whoever messes with her will be in trouble."

"What did you say? The pain of losing a child?"

The staff in Lin Ji Chen's hand stopped in mid-air, his expression dazed.

"Yes, she has a precious son who will not live past his twenties. By then, I'm afraid she might come to my ghost world to cause trouble."

"Are you talking about Gu Zihan?" Lin Jichen asked.

"I don't know what his name is. If she doesn't get married and have children later, then it will be him."

"How do you know he won't live past his twenties?" Lin Ji Chen frowned.

How could Gu Zihan not live past his early twenties? This kid has amazing talent. He has already reached the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age. His lifespan has exceeded a thousand years, and he has a bright future ahead of him.

Based on his talent, Lin Jichen can be sure that Gu Zihan will have a solid foundation for achieving enlightenment in the future, and it will not be difficult for him to break through to the state of metamorphosis.

Now that Nuba told him that Gu Zihan would not live past the age of eighteen, he just refused to believe it.

Unexpectedly, Nüba revealed another shocking secret to him.

"To tell you the truth, Gu Qingcheng's son was actually conceived from the residual soul of my stepmother."

"Ah?" Lin Ji Chen already felt like his brain was not enough. This shocking news made his head buzz.

Gu Zihan...is the concubine of Emperor Huangquan? The stepmother of the Empress???

"Oh my god, this is ridiculous! Can you come up with a more plausible excuse?"

Lin Ji Chen shook his head and couldn't help but complain.

But Nüba had a serious face and didn't seem to be joking at all.

"Why would I lie to you about this? If my stepmother hadn't desperately pleaded for her, I would never have let her go because she still had some conscience and was willing to leave my stepmother's remaining soul behind."

"This is my father's concubine. She is a human cultivator and caused such a big news. How could I let her leave so easily? My initial idea was to kill her to silence her."

Lin Ji Chen also realized that the other party was not joking, and his tone became much deeper.

"You mean, her son today is really the remnant of your stepmother's soul?"

"It's not a residual soul. It's similar to being reborn in another body, just like you asked me to keep the residual soul of your great elder's daughter." Nüba explained.

Lin Ji Chen was still puzzled and asked, "Why would he die before he even reached the age of twenty? Could it be the same for Luo Muxian?"

Nüba shook her head and answered patiently, "It's different. Luo Muxian was originally a human. Her residual soul is also attached to the wife of your chief elder. She belongs to the human race and has returned to the human race. This will not have any impact."

"But my stepmother is a ghost cultivator, a remnant of the ghost clan. She attached it to a human's womb and nurtured it. Humans and ghosts have different paths, which is against the will of heaven and will be envied by heaven and bring about heaven's punishment."

Lin Ji Chen felt dizzy and felt that the stimulation he received today was more than that in the past few years combined.

"How is this possible...Gu Zihan only has a few years to live...this..."

Lin Ji Chen muttered to himself, and the scene of that brat Gu Zihan being with him came to his mind, and he felt heartbroken.

When Gu Zihan first met him, this little guy came with his senior sister Mu Lingbing.

At that time, he always regarded Mu Lingbing as his future wife. He did not agree with Lin Jichen having any private contact with Mu Lingbing. He was disgusted with Lin Jichen in various ways and his master syndrome broke out.

Later, the three of them had to enter the ice field together to train.

During the period, they encountered a snowstorm, which caused the three of them to be blown away. Lin Ji Chen went to look for them, and found Gu Zihan first. At that time, this guy was naked, crying and making a fuss. Later, because he was afraid to sleep alone at night, he pestered him to sleep with him.

Then the three of them entered the ice abyss and finally left the ice field safely. From then on, Gu Zihan's impression of him changed drastically.
