"Grandma's here?" Lu You was surprised. "The old residence isn't close to here. Why did Grandma come suddenly? Did someone tell her about Xiao He's coma?"

Lu Jingxi lowered her gaze, frowning in displeasure, tugging hard at the corner of her clothes until her fingertips turned red.

Housekeeper: "It must be. People at the old residence said the old lady rushed over as soon as she heard something happened to the third young master."

Everyone in the Lu family knew the old lady doted on her grandson.

Lu You looked at his sister who was clutching her clothes and smiled gently, "Jingxi?"

Lu Jingxi looked up, "Second brother?"

"Can you help me buy some talisman paper? I want to draw a couple more talismans for Xiao He. There's no blank paper left at home."

Lu Jingxi was more than happy to avoid that unreasonable old lady. She sweetly agreed, "Sure! I'll go right now!"

She left through the back door and brushed past the tear-streaked Old Lady Lu who had come to see her grandson.

The Old Lady Lu looked full of spirit, wearing a light blue jacket, black long pants, and black velvet cloth shoes. At a glance, she looked like any old lady gossiping in a small alley. No one outside would recognize her as the Lu family's pampered old lady with the most power in the household.

"Xiao You! Xiao You!"

Holding a cane, the old lady walked briskly, though her once-clear eyes were now full of worry.

"Xiao You, what's wrong with Xiao He? I saw on the news that he was found by someone on the roadside this morning!"

The eldest Lu brother followed behind the old lady, reminding her to slow down while supporting her upstairs.

"Grandma," Lu You came out of the room and helped support the old lady's other arm, "Xiao He is still unconscious. I plan to take him to see my master."

"Ah?" The old lady's voice immediately rose, panic gripping her hand tightly. "To see the Grand Elder? Xiao He's condition is already this serious?"

"I don't know how serious it is," Lu You said cautiously, "but with my current abilities, I still can't wake Xiao He up."

"If you really have no way, then Xiao He's condition must be serious..." Old Lady Lu's body went weak, and the eldest Lu brother and Lu You quickly reached out to support her.

"Grandma..."

The two helped her sit down inside the room.

Having her beloved grandson go through something like this, the old lady seemed to have half her soul drained away. She stared blankly at Lu He's sleeping face for a long while before snapping back to reality and urging, "Xiao You, no time to waste, you and big brother need to take Xiao He and leave immediately!"

"Grandma," Lu You held the old lady's trembling hand and said softly, "I just asked Senior Brother. He said Master went to the headquarters for a meeting today and won't be back anytime soon. I plan to take Xiao He over first thing tomorrow morning."

"Ah, you still want to wait until tomorrow? What if something happens to Xiao He in the meantime?!" The old lady was not cooperating, running around like a headless chicken for a bit, then firmly said, "No way, this can't be delayed! If not him, then find Master Yu first!"

The eldest Lu brother felt his eyebrows twitch uncontrollably. "Master Yu?"

"The same Master Yu that Xiao Yan and I watch every night for fortune-telling!" The old lady looked at her two grandsons like they didn't know, growing anxious, "Oldest child! Isn't your company in entertainment? A bunch of kids singing and dancing! Master Yu used to be in that world too, haven't you heard?"

At first, the eldest Lu brother wasn't sure if "Master Yu" was Yu Yuan, but now he was sure.

Since grandma called her Master Yu so casually, she probably forgot Yu Yuan's real identity long ago—or maybe when Yu Yuan caused a ruckus at the Lu house that day, grandma didn't even bother to learn her name.

He felt resistant to the idea but couldn't say it outright. Back then, they had so arrogantly kicked the girl out, and now they had to go beg her. Losing face like that was unbearable.

Eldest Lu brother: "Grandma, the entertainment world is full of lies, there's no such thing as real magic. That Master Yu you're talking about is just a fraud!"

"What fraud!" Having watched Yu Yuan's livestreams twice, the old lady believed her idol deeply. "I was just chatting with the Tang family's old lady, the one from the villa next door when we lived in Shancheng."

The eldest Lu brother nodded in cooperation. Seeing he knew who she meant, the old lady continued, "It was their grandson. Not long ago, he went home for ancestral rites and accidentally ran into something unclean. I heard those guys almost froze to death. His friend took him to Master Yu."

The old lady's eyes sparkled with pride, "Master Yu just lit an incense stick, and five minutes later, that dirty thing was gone!"

The eldest Lu brother remembered the Tang family old lady as a former neighbor. Her grandson was a few years younger than him, named Tang Xiangnan.

His own brother dabbled in the occult, so if it had been someone else, maybe he'd believe it. But it was Yu Yuan.

He shook his head, "Grandma, I know Yu Yuan. She's a not-so-reputable actress. All that online stuff is fake. Maybe the Tang old lady was just teasing you."

"Not at all! Master Yu really has skills!" The old lady was stubborn. "If you don't believe the Tang old lady's grandson, then you should know about the Zhou family in Shancheng!"

The eldest Lu brother did know the Zhou family in Shancheng. More specifically, one of his companies had some cooperation with their family business.

Though in recent years the Zhou family's influence had grown, the rumors were the Zhou family had only two kids: an older daughter who became a manager in the entertainment industry, and a younger son who was obsessed with ghosts and spirits. Later, the son ended up investing in a guesthouse after hitting rock bottom.

Neither of the two kids was reliable, and the Zhou family's decline was inevitable.

"That I know."

"Today, when I was chatting with Old Lady Tang, she said her youngest son actually became a disciple of Master Yu. Now he's really something!" Old Lady Lu looked at Lu You with a hint of regret, quietly thinking, "If only Master Yu were a few years older, I should've had Xiao You study under her instead of going to that Celestial Master Hall!"

Lu You's gentle smile almost cracked.
