Gu Yan knew that everyone in the Xie family would be curious about this.
If it were her, she would be curious too.
However, curiosity was curiosity. If the other party didn’t want to talk about something, she would definitely not ask.
For example, Grandma and Grandpa did this.
As for Xie Yuge and his wife, as well as Jiang Xiaodie, they might not have realized this. Or, even if they did, they thought that compared to this matter, grandfather Xie and Gu Yan’s health was the most important.
Thus, Xie Yun and Xie Yuzhe were left.
The study room fell silent.
Gu Yan did not directly answer Xie Yun’s question. Instead, he turned his head and looked seriously at Old Madam Xie and Xie An, “Grandma and Grandpa, I met an antique shop owner by chance. He has silver hair and looks like a deity. He said that we were fated and said that he accepted me as his disciple.”
In fact, Gu Yan had thought of this reason when she heard about the silver-haired Daoist.
It wasn’t that Gu Yan didn’t trust the Xie family.
It was that the fewer people knew about the little jade pendant’s ability, the better.
Not to mention, Gu Yan still had some reservations about Xie Yuzhe.
She wasn’t sure if her cousin would do something disgusting for her good.
The power of the little jade pendant was too important. Gu Yan wouldn’t bet on it.
When she heard about the silver hair, old madam Xie suddenly became very excited.
Her eyes lit up. “Xiao Yan, you mean you know the silver-haired Daoist?”
“Grandma, I don’t know if my master is the silver-haired Daoist you’re talking about, but my master is indeed very powerful. Many things he knows can’t be explained with common sense. “It was he who gave me some skills and later gave me a bead, saying that he would use it when it was absolutely necessary. “I asked him when it was absolutely necessary, but he said mysteriously that you would know when it was necessary.”
Gu Yan lied about the truth and falsehood, but in her heart, she apologized to boss Liu.
After all, more than half of it was nonsense.
When Gu Yan said this, the Xie family firmly believed that the silver-haired master she mentioned was the silver-haired Taoist who had saved Xie An’s life.
Xie Yun continued, “That day, you suspected that my father was still alive, so after the night scouts found him, the bead automatically took effect.”
“Yes. Because of master’s instructions, I wore the bead all year round. When I saw my unconscious grandfather, I was very excited, and then I fainted. “When I woke up, I saw your worried faces and the news that my grandfather had woken up. “As for the missing medicinal herbs, they should be the remnants of the bead. After all, my body was too depleted at that time. I’m afraid that when the bead worked, it consumed a lot of my essence, energy, and spirit.”
Xie Yun was completely stunned.
So, Xiao Yan’s secret was that bead?
Xie yuzhe, who was beside him, said anxiously, “Then the bead now…”
“It’s gone.”Gu Yan looked at Xie Yuzhe expressionlessly. Then, he smiled and said, “Could it be that cousin thinks that the bead shouldn’t work when he sees Grandpa?”
“I didn’t say that!”Xie Yuzhe’s face immediately darkened.
Gu Yan lowered his eyes and spoke calmly, “Cousin, I know that you’ve been holding a grudge against me because of what happened before. “However, it’s up to the bead to decide when it will work. “Everyone has their own selfish motives. I don’t know what yours are. Anyway, mom and I thought that we would never see Grandpa again. Now that we know that Grandpa is still alive, I’m happier than anything else.”
“You!”
