Chapter 456: Going to the Arctic With the Practitioner

After seeing the Ghost Diary, there was no more movement. It didn’t seem like a sign of losing control, so Chu Jiang put it away and went to Lin Ancestral Hall.

Chu Jiang wanted to discuss some things with the old man and also tell him about his recent experiences.

……

After leaving Lin Ancestral Hall, Chu Jiang received a lot of useful advice from the old man. As for moving the shrine to the headquarters of the research institute, the old man only said he would consider it and didn’t give a definite answer.

Next, it was a waiting game for the results from the research institute.

Chu Jiang didn’t just sit around, he went back to Luoxi City, his hometown, with his biological parents. He also invited Chen Keai to come along.

At first, Chu Pingshan and Zhang Yuejuan were hesitant about their son’s proposal. They mainly felt that they had no face to meet Chu Jiang’s adoptive parents.

After all, they had handed their child over to someone else to raise for many years, and they had also taken on risks. There was a sense of guilt in their hearts.

However, after Chu Jiang persuaded them, they agreed and even bought many gifts in advance.

By the way, Chu Jiang also made it clear to his biological parents that his home in Luoxi City would always be his home, and he would never forget their nurturing kindness. If his biological parents wanted, they could move next door to the foster parents and live together.

They agreed to this as well. The life they had in the mountains was honestly a bit tough. They really stayed there and rarely went out, not just because they followed the ancestral teachings strictly, but also because they punished themselves.

Now that Chu Jiang has forgiven them and spent some time with him, they realized that he is truly not that mischievous and more like a human. He also let go of some of his worries.

On the way to their destination, Chen Keai whispered to Chu Jiang, expressing her disappointment. She had imagined that Chu Jiang’s biological parents would either be a CEO of a multinational company or some kind of hermit with extraordinary abilities.

Turns out, they were just an ordinary couple, like intellectuals.

Chu Jiang found this amusing and started a conversation with Chen Keai about her various fantasies…

Every time this happened, Chu Jiang loved teasing Chen Keai and joking with her. For example, he would say, "Let’s make a plan. Next time, we’ll go to the Arctic to fish for unicorns and see the Northern Lights and penguins."

Since there were elders present, Chen Keai couldn’t be too open, so she quietly complained, "I feel like you’re a grown child, and there are no penguins in the Arctic…"

Chu Jiang only responded with a smile.

Actually, he really has this plan, the distance is not a problem for him, and keeping warm is not a big issue either.

Since becoming the Ghost Master, he has been too busy to spend time with the people around him. He has decided to make up for this regret.

As for the Chu Pingshan couple, they are very satisfied when they see their son as their "secretary". This is the girl who has spent the longest time with them recently.

As for the little girl from the Jing family, they have met her too.

But the little girl, it seems like she grew up in seclusion and is not good at communicating with strangers. Besides sitting there drinking tea, she is quiet and still, so they still prefer Chen Keai.

In addition, they are particularly satisfied with Chen Keai, not just because she is not the Ghost Master.

……

Back at home, Chu Jianjun and Li Xiuxian, as a couple, were prepared because Chu Jiang had informed them in advance.

They were amazed when they learned that Chu Jiang had unexpectedly found his biological parents. How should I put it, they were happy for Chu Jiang, but also a little bit sad, afraid that he would no longer want them in the future.

Fortunately, Chu Jiang continued to be kind to them as usual, and his tone became much warmer. It seemed like he had walked out of the "psychological shadow" caused by the incident at school, which also made them feel more at ease.

Chu Le, the little sister, hadn’t experienced such things before, but what worried her the most was not family matters, but the safety of her brother.

Recently, she had learned from various sources that her brother might be some sort of legendary figure. She didn’t want her brother to become a great hero to save the world; she just wanted him to be safe and sound.

Now that her brother had brought his future sister-in-law home, Chu Le breathed a sigh of relief. She even pulled him to their upstairs room to give him some instructions, which made Chu Jiang want to laugh.

All in all, Chu Jiang had a fulfilling day. He had dinner with his parents, listened to their casual conversations, heard them praising his future bride-to-be, and listened to Chen Keai and Chu Le whispering and discussing things about him.

It had been a long time since he had enjoyed this kind of peace and a normal person’s life.

Occasionally, Chu Jiang would imagine what kind of life he would have had if the incident hadn’t happened and he had continued his path of finishing high school, going to college, and entering the job market.

For one thing, he probably wouldn’t have had the chance to meet so many special people, so his current life couldn’t be considered a regret.

……

He left all the work to his subordinates and took a leisurely holiday in the country for half a month. Chu Jiang also turned down a bunch of invitations from various forces at home and abroad.

After that, Chu Jiang took a plane to the United Kingdom and continued his vacation in Belfast.

After handling it for almost half a month, Sister Bel still firmly held the control of Holy Word Religion in her hands. She also tried to deal with the various effects the disappearance of the gods had on the church.

Finally, the five people who were qualified to listen to Sleep Talking’s "whispering," and had been brainwashed by it, were also pointed out the truth by her. One by one, they were comforted and finally united around her.

In short, this lady, who was skilled and clever, settled all the hidden dangers in the shortest possible time.

When Belfast learned about Chu Jiang’s arrival, she seemed uninterested and only sent Jade Zhou Chengs to pick him up.

Jade remained beautiful and captivating, like a pure saint. Most importantly, her mental state seemed fine, which made Chu Jiang wonder how Sister Bel managed to appease this fanatic.

You see, Jade doesn’t seem that "smart," and more like the type who sticks to one path and can’t think outside the box.

While riding in a car with Jade, on the way to a private estate on the outskirts of the city, Chu Jiang intentionally brought up this question.

Jade stayed quiet for a moment, and finally said, "The god has only temporarily left us. I know it is a ghost, and I also know that it had bad intentions from the beginning."

"But one thing is certain, the teachings will never be wrong. Even if it’s just a means fabricated by the ghost for its own purposes and conspiracies."

"The god loves humanity. The god will save humanity. That’s what the ghost taught us."

"If the ghost didn’t think or act in this way, then there should be more devoted believers like us. We are the last hope!"

With these words, a determined light flickered in Jade’s eyes.
