Chapter 1122: Chapter 1122: Tear It Down
Gu Zhiqi nodded, then raised her hand to point to the wooden cabin in the backyard, "If you want your grandfather to recover, have someone tear down that cabin."
She paused for a few seconds and added, "It would be better if you could plant some camellias."
As soon as Gu Zhiqi finished speaking, Fu Xiyan fell silent.
A few seconds later, he asked, "Is it enough to just tear down that cabin?"
Could it be that simple?
Gu Zhiqi slowly explained, "That cabin destroys the Spirit Gathering Array. Think about it, hasn’t your grandfather’s health been declining since that cabin was built?"
Hearing this, Fu Xi fell into deep thought.
It seems that it is indeed the case.
The wooden cabin was built ten years ago, and not long after its completion, his originally robust grandfather suddenly fell seriously ill.
This illness persisted for ten years.
Numerous renowned doctors were consulted, but to no avail.
He even consulted a Mystic Master, but their reply was that with such a Spirit Gathering Array protecting him, there shouldn’t be any issues.
Unexpectedly...
Gu Zhiqi said, "Since there is a large formation in the house, it’s best not to arbitrarily add or remove buildings or plants without the guidance of a Mystic Master."
"If the formation is damaged, those who suffer backlash can experience mild illness at first; in the worst cases, a couple of deaths, or even family destruction isn’t out of the question."
"The position of the studio is particularly unfortunate; it is where the backlash is extremely heavy. If it’s not removed in time, after your grandfather passes away, it will be the turn of the other members of your family."
If it weren’t for Old Master Fu’s deep blessings sustaining him for ten years, an ordinary family would have likely perished long ago.
Gu Zhiqi’s words brought Fu Xiyan out of his memories, leaving his emotions a bit complex.
He never imagined.
The illness that troubled his grandfather for ten years was caused by that studio.
Moreover, the one who built it was none other than his grandfather’s cherished eldest son, his own father.
If he didn’t know that his father harbored no rebellious intent, he would have suspected whether he intentionally built the studio to kill his grandfather and inherit the property.
After much contemplation, Fu Xiyan still asked Gu Zhiqi a question, "If someone knowledgeable built that studio, could it purposely cause someone’s death?"
Gu Zhiqi: "No."
Relieved by her words, Fu Xiyan let out a sigh.
Evidently, it wasn’t intentionally done by his father.
Gu Zhiqi observed Fu Xiyan’s reaction, feeling somewhat at a loss, yet it wasn’t the main issue, "There’s another question."
Fu Xiyan looked up.
Gu Zhiqi: "Could you tell me the name of the Mystic Master who set up the array for your family?"
Since entering the Fu family, she had been observing the Spirit Gathering Array.
She noticed that it faintly had traces of her array setup style, yet not entirely.
It made her suspect that this formation might have something linked to her.
"The one who set it up was called Meng Qianshan, the previous Alliance Hierarch of the Mystic Alliance, but... he’s no longer alive." As he spoke further, Fu Xiyan’s tone became somewhat despondent.
Gu Zhiqi, seeing his sudden sadness, quickly offered an apology, "I’m sorry."
**
She initially thought Old Master Fu’s issue was incredibly challenging to resolve and had prepared a long-stay plan in the Ancient Martial Arts World, not expecting it to be resolved so quickly.
However, what puzzled her was that she distinctly recalled that in the novel, the male lead’s grandfather needed a major surgery due to his illness.
She didn’t know why things changed with her involvement.
Nonetheless, it didn’t matter since she could still earn money.
After finishing her conversation with Fu Xiyan, Gu Zhiqi also provided Old Master Fu with a healing prescription.
Once Fu Xiyan completed the payment, she left the Fu family with Su Yunling and the others, saying they were going to watch the Grand Competition.
Fu Xiyan stayed behind to handle matters and thus didn’t accompany them to watch the Grand Competition.
