My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World - Chapter 364

Chapter 364: A Meeting Gift
A chill crept up from Bai Li’s soles, the fear in her chest tightened so much she could scarcely breathe, and her face went ashen.

Seeing her utterly terrified, Ke Ting stepped back and ordered, “Take her out.”

After watching the security guards drag the horrified Bai Li away, Ke Ting turned to the receptionists and said, “Well done. The four of you will get double bonuses this month.”

Hearing this, the receptionists’ eyes lit up. They smiled and hurriedly said, “Thank you, Assistant Ke.”

After dealing with Bai Li, Ke Ting returned to the CEO’s office and said, “Boss, I have dealt with that trash. She is so annoying. Why don’t you let me deal with her? I really want to kill her whenever I hear her screams.”

Seeing that Gui Xiaoxu didn’t respond, Ke Ting walked up to him and curiously asked, “Boss, what are you looking at?”

Standing by his side, Ke Ting glanced at the screen and saw the surveillance footage of the Bu Gui Pavilion headquarters.

Realizing that Gui Xiaoxu was observing Gui Ying, Ke Ting asked, “Boss, do you believe what he said?”

Gui Xiaoxu frowned slightly and replied, “Although his words are hard to believe, the moment I saw him, I knew he was one of my Gui Clan members. Not only that, but the aura I felt from him was even stronger than the one I feel from my grandfather.”

Ke Ting’s eyes flickered at his words.

As someone who had grown up with Gui Xiaoxu, Ke Ting knew that the purer the bloodline and the stronger the power, the heavier the pressure a member of the Gui Clan emitted for those weaker members.

Gui Xiaoxu was born as the strongest member of the Gui Clan in the past five hundred years.

If even he felt pressured by Gui Ying’s aura, then Gui Ying’s bloodline must be purer, and he should be stronger than Gui Xiaoxu.

Looking at Gui Xiaoxu, Ke Ting asked, “What will you do with him?”

Gui Xiaoxu shook his head. “I won’t do anything. The pressure I felt from him is proof that he is truly a member of my Gui Clan. However, as we both know, I’m supposed to be the only living member of the Gui Clan left in this world.”

“Since that is the case, then where did he come from? Is he really someone from the origin world?”

Ke Ting pondered for a moment and then suggested, “Boss, didn’t he say he came here because he followed Miss Bai? If we want to find out the truth, I think we should just ask Miss Bai directly.”

Gui Xiaoxu thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. “You are right. Ke Ting, help me make an appointment with Miss Bai.”

“Yes, Boss.”

After Ke Ting left the CEO’s office, Gui Xiaoxu turned his attention back to the screen.

Looking at the nine grids of surveillance feeds, Gui Xiaoxu muttered, “Are you here to help me break this curse… or are you here to kill me?”

Just as his words fell, Gui Ying, who was lying on the bed playing on his phone, suddenly looked toward the surveillance camera in the corner of the room.

He smiled and silently mouthed, “This young master is here to find my greatuncle. Since you are his descendant, this young master will help you break the seal. Don’t worry, you won’t die.”

Gui Xiaoxu’s eyes flickered with shock after reading Gui Ying’s lips. After a brief silence, he suddenly chuckled and said, “Good. Since you are here to help me, I will accept you as my family.”

Sitting up on the bed, Gui Ying smiled at the surveillance camera and said, “Good boy. As a meeting gift, this young master will give you something nice.”

After saying that, Gui Ying snapped his fingers, and a small wooden box appeared on top of Gui Xiaoxu’s mahogany desk.

Witnessing this, Gui Xiaoxu was now certain that Gui Ying was truly a member of the original Gui Clan. The reason was simple—only they could perform such magic.

Seeing that Gui Ying had refocused his attention on his game, Gui Xiaoxu reached out and opened the small wooden box.

Inside, a pearl-white pill shrouded in a faint golden light rested on top of a black-and-purple cloth.

As Gui Xiaoxu touched the cloth, his eyes flickered when he recognized it was made from the same material as the garments worn by his ancestors when they first entered this world.

The golden purple fire silk cloth.

After confirming the cloth’s material, Gui Xiaoxu picked up the pearl-white pill and examined it carefully. Seeing nothing unusual except for the dense, warm energy it emitted, Gui Xiaoxu made a quick decision.

Without hesitation, he swallowed the pearl-white pill.

The moment it touched his tongue, the pearl-white pill dissolved into warm energy that slid down his throat and circulated through his body.

Wherever the warmth passed, the pain in his meridians disappeared.

Gui Xiaoxu let out a comfortable sigh and thought, ‘This is the first time in my life I have felt so comfortable and free of pain. Looks like I really can break this curse before my thirtieth birthday arrives.’

With that thought, Gui Xiaoxu picked up his phone and called Ke Ting.

As soon as the call connected, he ordered, “Ke Ting, prepare the best-quality food, snacks, and entertainment for Gui Ying. Announce to everyone that Gui Ying is my family, and whoever dares to disrespect him will be sent to Xuan Wu.”

Ke Ting wasn’t surprised by this. Since Gui Xiaoxu had already accepted Gui Ying as family, Ke Ting asked, “Boss, do you still want to meet with Miss Bai?”

“Yes. I still need to find out how they travel between worlds.”

Hearing his answer, Ke Ting replied, “Understood. I will arrange it immediately.”

After ending the call, Ke Ting put his phone away, made arrangements for Gui Ying, and then found a way to set up an appointment with Bai Hanyun.
