Chapter Undead Overture, officially started!
"Gu Yue, I'm going to the Shu Family now. If anyone comes to see me, just say this."
Before leaving for the Shu Family, Qiangu Wuji first informed Gu Yue using Soul Guidance Phone to prevent the other party from worrying about not seeing him.
"Well, when will you come back?"
"Soon. Sister Shu Rong said that her sister has woken up and wants to thank me in person. I will go check on her condition and ask my mother to send someone to check on her."
"Well, okay."
After hanging up the phone, Qiangu Wuji stopped thinking about it and began to rush towards the Shu Family's mansion with all his strength.
To say that everything in this world is good, transportation is the only one that is inconvenient. There are Soul Guidance Cars in this world, but there are no soul-guiding taxis in this world. This leads to people like him who can't drive, so they can only run on their legs if they want to go to far places.
But fortunately, we are no longer ordinary people now. It is not impossible to run this small distance. At most, it takes a little time.
In this way, after almost half an hour's journey, he finally left the city and came to the deep mountain where the Shu Family mansion belonged.
At this time, there were many Soul Guidance Car parked in the mansion, more than ten or twenty cars, and it seemed that most of the Shu Family people had returned.
As soon as he arrived at the door, two young girls dressed as maids came towards him.
"Are you the eldest lady's friend?"
Qiangu Wuji nodded slightly, then looked at the two of them doubtfully.
"Where is Sister Shu Rong?"
"Miss, she is waiting for your arrival inside," one of the maids said, making a gesture of invitation, "Please follow me."
"Okay."
Qiangu Wuji nodded and followed the two of them silently.
After walking into the mansion, he realized that compared to the deserted place last time, Shu Family was really lively this time. As soon as he walked in the courtyard, he could see many children chasing each other back and forth, making it very lively.
The maid walking beside him seemed to notice his doubts and took the initiative to explain.
"Today is the second lady's birthday, so most of the Shu Family's relatives are here."
"That's it."
Qiangu Wuji nodded, but immediately thought of Shu Lian's situation, and asked curiously.
"Can your second young lady be able to attend her birthday now?"
"Thanks to you, the second lady is recovering well. Although she is still unable to get out of bed, she is no longer as bad as before."
"That's good."
Soon, under the leadership of the maid, Qiangu Wuji came to the hall, and here, he finally saw Shu Rong.
At this time, Shu Rong was not wearing the uniform she saw that day, but put on an elegant skirt, which made her tall and charming, standing among the crowd.
After seeing him, the other party showed a look of surprise, and then came to him with kindness.
"Wuji, you are finally here."
There were many people in the hall at this time, including men, women, old and young.
This is more like a dance than a family gathering, with soothing music filling the hall.
Shu Rong came to Qiangu Wuji and smiled slightly.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Qiangu Wuji smiled shyly and looked around curiously.
"By the way, Sister Shu Rong, where is your sister? Didn't she come down?"
"Come down later," Shu Rong said, shaking his head, then took his hand and walked towards the middle of the hall, "Come on, I'll show you around first. You were in a hurry last time, so you probably haven't had time to take a look. In fact, there are many interesting places in my big house."
Qiangu Wuji Seeing that she was in high spirits, it was difficult to refuse her. In desperation, she had no choice but to follow her around silently.
Along the way, I met many of the Shu Family's relatives to say hello.
Shu Family seems to be a very pure businessman family. The topics these relatives talked about had almost nothing to do with Soul Master. They simply asked about their names, ages, etc., and then let the two of them leave.
This kind of atmosphere makes Qiangu Wuji feel quite relaxed. Coming here is like coming to a brand new world.
It is really rare to have such a pure family in this continent.
Soon, after a full circle, Shu Rong was already slightly out of breath, but she still couldn't hide the excitement on her face.
"Wuji, how are you? Isn't it easier here than your Soul Master school?"
"Well, indeed."
Qiangu Wuji nodded heartily.
Shu Rong looked at him and said with a smile.
"Look, this is actually how we ordinary people survive. As long as we don't compete with others and only do what we want, we will actually be very happy."
Qiangu Wuji listened to her words quietly, and from the smile on her face, he could see that she was truly satisfied with this kind of life.
Looking at this scene, he sighed in his heart, yes, who said you must become Soul Master in this world? Even ordinary people can live happily.
Just let go of your competitiveness and don't compete with others.
It's a pity...
I can't understand this myself.
In my current situation, I have to be competitive.
"Okay, Wuji, I know your identity is definitely not like mine, so you don't have to think too much. Let's go and start cutting the cake right away."
Shu Rong took his hand again and walked towards the middle of the hall.
At this time, the people who were singing and dancing in the hall also stopped and gradually formed a circle.
Amid countless expectant glances, a pale girl was seen sitting in a wheelchair in the stairwell on the second floor, being pushed slowly towards here by a maid.
Not long after, she came to the crowd, and at this time, the crowd automatically separated into a lane, and then, an extremely huge cake was pushed into the crowd by several maids.
Qiangu Wuji was fascinated, but Shu Rong took his hand and walked into the field.
"Sister Shu Rong, you...?"
Just when Qiangu Wuji was about to ask, Shu Rong made a silent gesture to him. Then, ignoring his stunned eyes, he raised his eyes and smiled at the guests in front of him.
"Let me introduce to you, this is my friend, his name is Wuji. I believe you all know the situation of my sister Shu Lian, right? It was him who saved Shu Lian. Without him, Shu Lian's situation would not have improved at all."
After Shu Rong finished speaking, hundreds of people at the scene all looked at him gratefully.
"Thanks to this little brother, you two sisters can't treat me badly."
"Yes, yes."
Shu Rong listened to these words, smiled slightly, and then turned his attention to Qiangu Wuji.
"Wuji, it's thanks to you that Shu Lian's birthday can be held this time, so Shu Lian and I discussed it and I will leave the cake-cutting person to you this time, okay?"
"Ah? How can this be done?"
Qiangu Wuji As soon as I heard it, my head immediately shook like a rattle.
How can any guest cut the birthday cake for the host? Isn't this stealing the spotlight from the birthday girl?
However, Shu Rong didn't give him a chance to refuse, and directly put the fruit knife for cutting the cake into his hand, and said it very seriously.
"Wuji, this is how Shu Lian and I express our gratitude to you."
Hearing this, he looked at Shu Rong, and then at the pale girl beside him. Seeing the expectant look on her face, he nodded helplessly.
"Okay, then I understand."
Gritting his teeth, he slowly stepped forward with the fruit knife, then found the middle position, held his breath and concentrated, held the knife in both hands, and slowly drew it down.
As a line was divided in the middle of the huge cake, what happened at the same time was that not far in front of him, the body of a middle-aged man was also divided into two parts from the middle.
Bright red blood splashed all over the floor, and the white cake was instantly stained with a strange red color.
The hall with hundreds of people was so quiet at the moment that you could hear a pin drop.
