Chapter 550: Chapter 550: When One Wave Subsides, Another Rises

With a sigh, Gu Chuanshan weariedly chuckled, "The reason those five households moved away was because they gave up. They thought all that talk about the Destiny Stone was nonsense. We all lived under the same roof, but none prospered significantly."

Gu Ling remarked, "And we stayed because we have the map, and we know this is not nonsense, but reality."

At that, Gu Chuanshan shook his head, "Actually, even with the blueprint in hand, I was skeptical. I searched the vast ocean for so many years, but found no trace." After saying that, he glanced at Gu Fan with guilt, "I later wondered if the Destiny Stone did not manifest its power because too many people were living there. So, I thought of another approach. You were also ready for university and it was time to enhance your independence..." He left his sentence hanging, but his intended meaning was unmistakably clear.

"So that’s how it was!" Gu Fan’s gaze fell, and an air of disappointment filled him. He felt a little discomforted.

Mei Fang quickly spoke up, "Fan, don’t get us wrong. We never intended to harm you. We thought that if the Destiny Stone had some effect on you, it might have been a good thing. We did not expect your destiny to be altered like this, and for you to go through so much."

"I know, I don’t blame you. I lived comfortably in that old house for four years," Gu Fan said. After which, he secretly cast a glance at Su Hui, thinking to himself that meeting her was truly a good thing. freёnovelkiss-com

Gu Ling also pacified, "Exactly, brother. If it weren’t for the change in destiny, you wouldn’t have met Sister Lin Xi. Would you rather not have met Sister Lin Xi?"

"Of course not, after all, every gain must come with a loss," Gu Fan readily accepted his fate. He did not mind being the subject of his parents’ experiment, which greatly relieved Gu Chuanshan and Mei Fang.

However, Su Hui had a question, "It’s strange, since Xiaoling has special abilities and her destiny is the one that has been changed, wouldn’t those five households know about Xiaoling’s abilities, and not doubt the effects of the old house?"

Mei Fang explained, "After Xiaoling was born, only the Liu and Gu families were left in the old house. Although Xiaoling and Liu Yao would always find money, everyone thought it was just good luck. Nobody read too much into it. Later, the Liu family moved out."

Gu Chuanshan added, "During that period, we thought that Xiaoling’s talent was due to the old house. However, later we discovered that it wasn’t. Xiaoling had smooth sailing in life, and if the Destiny Stone had changed her destiny, it certainly wouldn’t be like this."

Lin Xi nodded, "Talents like Xiaoling’s are not common, but not unheard of. I’ve seen a few in the past, such as the people in the Shennv Xuanhui, so Xiaoling’s talent has nothing to do with the old house or the Destiny Stone."

Everyone understood this, but just before they left, Gu Fan questioned, "What exactly happened to my second granduncle that caused those five families to move out one by one?"

Upon hearing his question, both Gu Chuanshan and Mei Fang looked stunned, "How do you know about your second granduncle?"

Gu Ling was also surprised, "What? We have another granduncle? I’ve never heard of him before."

"That’s in the past, don’t mention it anymore, it brings pain." Gu Chuanshan waved his hand and signaled Gu Fan to retrieve the copied map. In the meanwhile, he needed to hurriedly rewrite his sailing notes.

Gu Fan did as he was told and went to a company that specialize in storing personal belongings. He took out his key, keyed in the password, and opened the safe. He then took out the copied map and rushed back to the hospital.

All the way, Gu Fan had a bad feeling. Seeing the pained expression on Gu Chuanshan’s face, he could not help but associate his second granduncle’s sacrifices with the reasons why the five families all moved out, thinking that the Destiny Stone and the vein of fate were swindles, thus leaving the old house exclusively to the Gus.

"But why did second granduncle make the sacrifice instead of grandfather?" Gu Fan had no clue and decided not to dwell on it, fearing he may uncover more untenable facts about his family.

Upon returning to the hospital, he received a message from Lin Xi. They were famished and were dining at a restaurant.

When Gu Fan arrived at the restaurant, seeing Lin Xi, Gu Ling, and Su Hui eating cheerfully, his meal also ordered for him.

"Thank you all." After all the commotion, Gu Fan was also hungry. Before he commenced his meal, he asked, "Where are my parents? Have they eaten?"

Lin Xi responded, "Although your uncle and aunt have recovered, we didn’t explain to the hospital why they recovered so quickly. So they can’t leave the ward yet. We will take some food back to them after we finish eating."

Gu Fan thought about it and it made sense. They were admitted in a comatose state from severe injuries and suddenly woke up fully recovered, it would raise suspicion. Hence, they had to keep up with the act.

They obviously did not say it outright, but from the expression Gu Chuanshan and Mei Fang had, Gu Fan could tell they knew about Lin Xi’s other identity. Therefore, they weren’t particularly surprised that they could recover so quickly.

As for the Gus’ family heirloom, it was already wrapped around Lin Xi’s arm. Every now and then, Lin Xi would casually touch it, her mouth curling up in delight.

As long as Lin Xi was happy, everything was good. After finishing his meal, Gu Fan suggested, "Let’s head back quickly. I believe my parents must be hungry by now."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and as they left the restaurant, they were shocked to see several familiar figures walking out of the hospital. Weren’t they Qian Feng and Ning Qi? What were they doing here?

Lin Xi remarked, "Strange, even the elder sister is here. It can’t be just a coincidence that everyone came to the same hospital? And it seems like they all came."

Gu Fan furrowed his brows, "Could it really be such a coincidence that they all came here? What could the Shennv Xuanhui be doing here? Could it be..." Gu Fan suddenly had a bad feeling and asked Lin Xi, "The Shennv Xuanhui possesses supernatural powers, can Qian Feng and the others fall sick?"

"Not possible. That’s why I wonder why Qian Feng and the others are here." No sooner than Lin Xi ended her sentence, she saw Gu Fan’s face darken. He immediately hastened back towards the hospital.

"Oh God!" It seemed that everyone came to the same conclusion, and they immediately followed Gu Fan, racing back to the ward.

Upon reaching the ward, although the room was neat and did not appear to be disrupted, Gu Chuanshan and Mei Fang, who were just rejuvenated, had once again fallen unconscious.

As to why this happened and what occurred in their absence, they were certain who had wreaked havoc.

"Damn it, bastards!" Gu Fan was livid, wanting to confront Qian Feng and the others, but was held back by Su Hui.
