" Are you happy, assistant Geng?" Gu Chenyi asked as he turned to look at Assistant Geng who trembled uncontrollably looking quite upset. Gu Chenyi however ignored his assistant and then turned to look at Song Yan as he asked, " But I don't think that you came to my humble abode to complain about him?"
Song Yan looked at the so-called humble abode and was speechless, though Gu Chenyi was indeed living inside a cave, he was not treating himself harshly at all. From a modern movie theatre to a comfortable couch with carpet spread on the surface of the floor of the cave, he had everything. Including a little follower as well who was responsible for cooking and taking care of his meals.
This cave might be called a closed cave but it was a known fact that this was more and less of a hideout of Gu Chenyi whenever he was bothered by his grandfather.
Song Yan, however, did not quibble with Gu Chenyi, she knew the habits of her master. If she was to question whether or not he was cultivating, he will start showing off his skills and then challenge her for a duel under the pretext of showing just how good his skills already were.
Taking out the paper on which she had drawn the chart and then handed it to Gu Chenyi before explaining solemnly, "I sensed a danger heading towards the Fu family which is why I drew this chart to secure the safety of all the members of the family but for some reason, the chart shows that Yu Shen is dead."
" And you believe that he is alive because?" Gu Chenyi pushed himself off the small couch and looked at the chart which was in his hands carefully before gazing at Song Yan who sighed and replied,
" I handed him an S grade talisman, it did not go off when he was killed —— which tells me that something is sticky about this sudden death of his," Song Yan was fairly confident of her skills, with the S grade talisman in his hands, Fu Yu Shen would even survive a bomb explosion much less a small accident.
" Looks like my disciples had gotten better, she can even draw an S grade talisman now!" Gu Chenyi praised Song Yan as he took a look at the chart and then hummed as he traced the inscriptions which changed all of a sudden.
Even though after the death of a human these inscriptions would change they will not mottle like this, it only proved that Fu Yu Shen met with a mishap which was worse than death.
"Hmm," Gu Chenyi narrowed his eyes as he placed the chart in front of the tea table. "It seems to me that your brother-in-law has been pushed into the second dimension which is why it looks like he is dead but within the second dimension he is alive and well which is why your talisman did not react to anything."
" Ah for the love of the God," Song Yan covered her head and moaned before turning around and walking in a circle out of frustration. " How did he even go there? I thought that all the arrays to open the second dimension had been burned and destroyed. Isn't there a department in your sect for this particular job, master?"
Song Yan questioned as she turned around to look at Gu Chenyi in blame. He did not teach her to trace and detect the second dimension as it was too dangerous. She also did not pay attention to it since there was a department which was paying attention to such activities and now he was telling her that Fu Yu Shen was in the other dimension.
" I assure you that this was not done by an array," Gu Chenyi raised his hand in surrender when he saw Song Yan blaming him. "One does not only need arrays and portals to visit the other dimension…sometimes, a few mediums are playing their roles as well."
" You mean to say…" Song Yan suddenly understood what Gu Chenyi was trying to tell her and felt a nerve throb in her left eye, this was not good. This was really not good.
" I am afraid that someone caught hold of the mirror of Fang Mian," Gu Chenyi sighed as he rubbed his forehead while looking at the chart in front of him. " Not only that they even made someone the medium…but who will be foolish enough to become a medium?"
For a human to become a medium between the two worlds, they have to use quite a lot of their life force. The more life force they use the more older they will become.
" There are all sorts of foolish people in this world," Song Yan sneered as she snatched the chart from the table and looked at the inscriptions around Fu Yu Shen's name. Before rolling the chart up and asking, " So I have seven days to bring him back?"
"That's right," Gu Chenyi nodded his head and smiled helplessly. " I don't know who this fool is but he or she will only be able to open the mirror of Fang Mian seven times before the mirror as well as their life seal off together."
He paused and then told Song Yan, " You should go and look for the one who is causing havoc but make sure to get the fragments and instead of going to the other dimension, send those two all right?"
" I will keep it in mind," Song Yan nodded before she caught hold of Fu Yu Sheng's hand, the man looked just as bewildered as he did when he first found out that she was a celestial master. Maybe if possible even more.
Though Fu Yu Sheng was confused by their conversation, he still allowed Song Yan to lead him away.
But the reason he was feeling bewildered wasn't because he did not understand a thing that Song Yan and Gu Chenyi said but because ——
He seemed to have heard of this mirror called Fang Mian but where?
