Nan Xiang's face flushed with anger, her fingers trembling slightly, and she shouted to Aunt Fang who was standing behind everyone, "Ah Fang, take Miss back to her room. Miss has to prepare for studying abroad recently. If there is nothing else, there is no need to leave the room!"

The mother and daughter glared at each other like enemies. Aunt Fang, whose name was called, glanced at Gu Junchuan inconspicuously, then slowly walked to Gu Nanyi's side and whispered, "Miss, the Madam is angry now, let's go back to the room first."

Gu Nanyiyi looked at Aunt Fang with a wronged look, then looked at Gu Junchuan who had been silent all the time, clenched his fists, turned around and ran back to his room.

"Since it was an accidental alarm, let's go home first." Everyone looked at this "family war" in a rich family with some embarrassment. It was not right to stay, so they could only leave with a look of approval.

For a moment, the entire corridor was empty. "Since it was Gu Nanyiyi who accidentally triggered the alarm, you should also go to bed early."

Nan Xiang seemed to have just come to her senses. She looked at the dark room behind Gu Junchuan with an unnatural expression, pulled the corners of her lips, and revealed an unnatural smile, "Auntie Xiang knows that you miss your mother, but...but this room has a seal from the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest also said that this seal is to keep you safe. Auntie Xiang is afraid that you will be careless..."

"Don't worry, Aunt Xiang. It's getting late. You should go to bed early!" After saying that, Gu Junchuan closed the door, and the room suddenly fell into darkness again.

Jiang Tan, who was lying in the corner, was silent. Gu Junchuan's arms were throbbing with veins and his face flushed. He staggered and carried the person to the bed. After settling the person down, he also lay down beside the bed. The thunderous panting sound in the silent space was extremely harsh!

This was the first time he hated his broken body!

Suddenly, a strange noise near the window made Gu Junchuan alert. He propped himself up and was about to walk over when the window was suddenly opened from the outside. A dark shadow jumped in from outside and a ray of moonlight hit the man's face.

"Quick, Senior Brother Changliu, check on Jiang Tan, she has fainted!"

This was the first time that Gu Junchuan felt that there might really be people who practice cultivation in this world!

Chang Liu threw a talisman into the air, pinched his fingers, and chanted: "Spirit, spirit, I don't know your name, but I give you five ghosts. Come to my side and I order you to carry it. Do it immediately. Anyone who disobeys my order will be cut into dust. Get up!"

Jiang Tan, who was originally lying on the bed, was lifted up by an unknown force. After a gust of wind, there was no one else in the room except Gu Junchuan!

When he woke up, he was already back in his apartment. Next to him sat Ruomu, who was reading a book, and Secretary Wang, who was handling official business...

Secretary Wang was completely out of his own mind and felt as if he had entered a fantasy world. What about soul-separation and talismans? Aren’t these things only found in fantasy novels?

"It seems that my problem is related to my mother's room." Gu Junchuan sat up from the bed, and a dizziness almost made him lie back down.

Secretary Wang quickly helped Gu Junchuan up and said, "Mr. Gu, the doctor just came and said that you have some anemia. You'd better get up slowly." After that, he handed over a cup of jujube and brown sugar water.

Gu Junchuan glanced at the cup in Secretary Wang's hand with disdain. The reddish-brown color always reminded him of blood.

"Mr. Gu, drink it while it's hot. Only when you take good care of your body can you find a way to save Miss Jiang." Seeing Gu Junchuan's look of disgust, Secretary Wang immediately grasped Gu Junchuan's lifeline.

Sure enough, after hearing him say that, Gu Junchuan took the cup with a frown, held his breath, and drank the contents of the cup in one gulp.

Perhaps because the drink warmed his stomach, Gu Junchuan felt that he actually had some strength.

"Senior Brother Ruomu, how is Jiang Tan? What about her while you are here?" Gu Junchuan looked at Ruomu, who was frowning and studying the pill in his hand, his face slightly gloomy.

Ruomu raised his eyes, looked at him playfully, and then smiled nonchalantly:

"Do you think I want to be here? If it weren't for you...if it weren't for you spending money and we are a reputable merchant, do you think I would have the leisure to stay here?"

Gu Junchuan's jawline tightened and he sat up, his expression hidden in the darkness so Ruomu couldn't see clearly.

"Secretary Wang, have you contacted the Taoist priest from that year?" He ignored Ruomu and turned his gaze to Secretary Wang.

Secretary Wang shook his head with an embarrassed look on his face, "Sorry, Mr. Gu, we still have no clues."

Over the years, Young Mr. Gu has never stopped looking for the whereabouts of that Taoist priest. Back then, Young Mr. Gu suddenly had health problems and always fainted without warning. Old Mr. Gu took him to see many famous doctors, but no one could find out what the cause was.

Later, Mrs. Jiang heard from somewhere that there was a very famous Taoist priest, and asked Mr. Gu to give it a try.

When the Taoist priest saw Gu Junchuan, he said that Gu's mother was worried about her son and had been lingering in the old house of the Gu family and was unwilling to leave. The Taoist priest said that he was a disciple of Su Qian and could not send Gu's mother away. He could only prescribe some pills to suppress the soul in Gu Junchuan's body. Without having been to the old house of the Gu family, he accurately described the furnishings of Gu's mother's room.

After the Taoist priest told Mr. Gu how to deal with the room, he gave Mr. Gu a box of pills and told him to take one pill every two days in the first year, one pill every half month in the second year, one pill every month in the third year, and after that only when he felt unwell. This would ensure that he would be safe until he was 28 years old.

Sure enough, ever since Gu Junchuan took the pills from the Taoist priest, he has not fainted again, but his body has been very weak in recent years. However, the Taoist priest also said that this was a sequelae of the pills, so Mr. Gu never took Gu Junchuan's health seriously. Anyway, the Gu family is rich, and it is not impossible to raise a son. What's more, this son has been smart since he was young, and he has not spent a penny from the family after he was sixteen years old.

When he was eighteen years old, Gu Junchuan bought an apartment and moved out of the Gu family's old house.

Gu Junchuan has been looking for that Taoist priest for many years, and Secretary Wang, who had just graduated from university and was interning at the "M" Group, has been following Gu Junchuan. Later, Secretary Wang was always responsible for finding the Taoist priest.

But that Taoist priest seemed to have disappeared from the human world. There has been no clue about him for all these years. The Taoist temple that old Mr. Gu took young Mr. Gu to in the past has become a gathering place for various animals in the mountains due to disrepair.

Mrs. Jiang, who recommended the Taoist priest back then, only said that she didn't know the Taoist priest well. She had just heard about him from others and thought she could give him a try. As for where the Taoist priest had gone, she didn't know either.

According to Secretary Wang's investigation in recent years, Mrs. Jiang has indeed not contacted the Taoist priest again.
