Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142: Something Happened

"Something happened at home? Whose home? What happened, Cousin Jingyan?"

"Mr. Gu, are you saying that Mr. Gu is feeling unwell?"

Xi Rubao and Wu Qianman were both very surprised.

They didn’t expect Gu Jingyan to bring bad news upon returning to school.

Gu Jingyan didn’t answer them, his gaze involuntarily fell upon Zuzi who was looking down at her book.

Despite his absence for some time, she remained so calm and free from worldly concerns, nothing seemed to disturb her or cause her to show any anxious expression.

Just like before, when they parted ways, she had seen those shocking murals in Nangong Mo’s underground palace, and upon coming out all she said was a faint "let’s go."

Even if she wasn’t curious about what happened at home.

Shouldn’t she at least be curious about what he found in the Pangu Tomb and what mysteries he unraveled?

How could she always remain so composed and serene like an immortal?

Gu Jingyan’s dry lips moved, "It’s not convenient to talk about family matters at school, we’ll discuss it when we get back. You all better... hurry back to help calm things down."

Xi Rubao and Wu Qianman found it all confusing, calm what down? Was there a dispute within the Gu Family?

The old man was supposed to host a family feast tonight, could it be that the second and third branches were at odds again?

Everyone in the Gu Family knew that the second branch’s wife, Qin Tao, was always mocked by the third branch’s wife, Sun Jiao. In the past, Sun Jiao would deride her husband’s lack of success and her son’s obsession with grave-digging. Now, although the second branch’s business flourishes, and Gu Jingyan, still digs graves, he has made a name for himself and became a top student in Imperial University’s archaeology department. Sun Jiao could now only mock the second branch’s inability to have a second child.

But this kind of dispute was difficult for unmarried girls to mediate.

However, seeing Gu Jingyan’s furrowed brow, the matter did seem significant; Xi Rubao gently asked Zuzi for her opinion, "Sister, should we go back?"

Zuzi lifted her head from the book.

She sighed lightly.

The sword hanging over Xiao Sha’s head was about to fall as well...

"Let’s go."

Gu Jingyan: "..."

Is there anything in this world that could make this little ancestor lose her composure, even a little?

Because of the scandal erupted by Mr. Wu and the tragic ending of a foreign burn, the internet, which had been in an uproar for quite some time, had just calmed down a few days ago, now subtle ripples began to emerge once more.

The fans of Mr. Wu, who were heavily hit by the deception of their idol, had initially scattered like sand.

Yet, due to a secret message that quietly circulated, they began to gradually regroup.

"Did you all see it, did you see that video?"

"Yes, yes, it was simply mind-blowing."

"Mr. Wu deceived us, and Qianshan is no good either, doing such disgusting things, with her own brother... tsk tsk."

"If Qianshan’s dark past gets exposed, it could be worse than what Mr. Wu went through."

"Why should Mr. Wu suffer such a miserable fate while Qianshan reaps all the benefits with best-selling books, successful shows, and continues to enjoy fan adoration like nothing happened?"

"Maybe it’s because she’s the fifth Miss of the Gu Family, a wealthy lady of a prominent family, with the power to control everything, unlike our Mr. Wu who comes from a poor background and was easily crushed."

"Pfft, who is nobler than whom? She’s putting on quite the classy act!"

In various fan groups, certain photos and videos were being circulated wildly, with indecent comments suggesting a trend of potentially exploding across the entire online sphere.

Yet it had not been brought to light, seemingly waiting for the perfect moment to completely destroy the other side.
