Chapter 13: Zhu family (2/2)

Li Zong seemed to have understood what Old Master Zhu was referring to, a deep look in his eyes.

”Did Old Master Zhu divine the prospects of it?”

”The result suggested uncommonly good fortune.” Old Master Zhu could barely hide his delighted smile, watching Li Zong with a look of deepening closeness. ”I foresaw that my grandson would encounter life-threatening danger today, but someone of high status would come to his assistance. Never have I expected that that person would be you.”

When they were talking about the Ghost Festival, Zu Zhichong was able to offer an opinion or two, but after the conversation was steered to this topic, Zu Zhichong was totally confused. Even Zhu Qi was somewhat curious. ”Grandfather, what does that mean exactly?”

Old Master Zhu burst into laugh. ”This is all I can disclose. No more.”

All others moved their eyes onto Li Zong, who was holding a Thermos bottle, unscrewed the lid of it and silently took two sips of water.

Smells of jujube and Chinese wolfberries wafted out.

Seeing the surprised faces of others, Zu Zhichong hurriedly explained, ”My Chief has been following a regimen.” After saying this, he gave two hollow laughs.

”Let's drop this topic. Exactly what was it that you encountered on the plane today? The result of my divination told me that the situation would be rather dangerous,” asked Old Master Zhu.

”There was a Dream Eater contaminated by demonic Qi on the plane. I think it was targeting He Zheng.”

”What?! Who resorted to such venomous means to kill my grandson?!” Old Master Zhu flied into a temper.
