Chapter 508 Elated
Grandpa Gu looked at his granddaughter with affection and then smiled.
"Grandpa," Gu Jingfeng asked, "you said that Xiao Zhao and the priest have been inside for so long, why haven't they come out yet?"
Grandpa Gu said, "This is not something we can consider. When they come out, you must not interfere. If you can keep quiet, then don't say anything."
Gu Jingfeng and the others replied in unison, "Yes, sir."
"Also," Grandpa Gu continued, "Bufan's surname isn't Zhao. His surname is Chao, and his name is Bufan. Don't call him that in the future."
Gu Jingfeng and the others replied in unison again, "Yes, sir."
After hiding his weapon, Gu Changfeng saw his wife return and asked, "Why are you back?"
"How could I not come back?" his wife replied irritably, then sat on the sofa and said angrily, "You, you, why don't you use your brain when you do things? Look how angry you've made the old man."
Gu Changfeng sat down next to his wife, gave a wry smile, and said, "Do you think I wanted this? I was just in a hurry! By the way, Ali, you said the Orthodox priests came too, is that true?"
Gu Changfeng's wife, Ali, nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here."
"What about that old codger Xiong Aiguo?" Gu Changfeng quickly asked again.
“They came too,” Ali replied, “but—”
"But what?" Gu Changfeng quickly pressed for an answer.
"They've all been killed by Bu Fan."
"What?" Gu Changfeng was shocked. "Killed them all?"
Ali nodded and said, "Xiong Aiguo and the others were all killed by Bufan. The priest not only didn't blame them, but also had a friendly conversation with Bufan. The priest said he wanted to talk to Bufan alone, so he went to the old man's study. You're lucky you didn't rush in, otherwise, no one could have saved you."
"Hiss~" Gu Changfeng gasped, puzzled, "I just don't understand! Xiong Aiguo is an Orthodox Christian, and Bufan killed them, yet the priest not only didn't pursue the matter, but even had a friendly conversation with Bufan—"
“What are you talking about?” Ali said with a slight smile. “That’s because not many people have that ability. You shouldn’t make wild guesses. Just stay at home for now and wait until the old man’s anger subsides before you go and say nice things to him.”
"Sigh~" Gu Changfeng sighed and said, "Ali, you must be very angry with me, right?"
“I—” Ali stammered.
Gu Changfeng said with a wry smile, "It's all my fault for not controlling myself back then. That's why I fell for that old fox Xiong Aiguo's trick and did something even worse than an animal."
"Alright," Ali quickly stopped Gu Changfeng, "It's all in the past, don't take it to heart anymore. Bu Fan is a young and capable boy; if Tingting could be with him—"
"What do you mean?" Gu Changfeng asked.
Ali smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing. I'll go check on Grandpa. You stay at home!"
Here, Grandpa Gu and the others finally saw Chao Bufan and the priest come out, and quickly got up to greet them. Grandpa Gu smiled and said, "Father, you haven't had lunch yet, have you? Why don't you stay and eat with us?"
The priest smiled slightly and said, "No, I have other matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer. Bufan, did you remember what I told you?"
Chao Bufan nodded and said, "I'll remember."
"That's good," the priest nodded and said, "Then I'll head back now."
“Okay, Father, take care,” Chao Bufan said.
Grandpa Gu and the others quickly said respectfully, "Father, please take care."
After watching the priest leave, Grandpa Gu quickly asked Chao Bufan, "Bufan, did the priest really not pursue the matter?"
Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, from now on, the Orthodox Church will not cause any more trouble."
"That's fine, that's fine."
Grandpa Gu chuckled, and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.
Chao Bufan glanced at his watch and then said, "Grandpa Gu, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
"We haven't even eaten yet! Why are you leaving already?" Gu Qingfeng quickly said.
“Yes!” Gu Tingting chimed in, “Brother Bufan, we’re all waiting for you to eat!”
Chao Bufan laughed and said, "You guys go ahead and eat! I have something to do."
“Bufan,” Old Master Gu asked, “aren’t you going to Catholicism anymore?”
“I’m not going,” Chao Bufan said. “The priest has already taken care of things for me.”
"Is it resolved?" Old Master Gu asked again. "Bufan, are you going back to HX?"
“Not so fast,” Chao Bufan replied. “I want to stay here for a few more days and return to HX after I’ve finished dealing with everything.”
"That's good," Old Master Gu said with a smile.
"Mr. Gu, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now!"
As Chao Bufan was about to turn and leave, Old Master Gu quickly said, "Bufan, what about what you promised me?"
"Uh!" Chao Bufan was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's about Tingting. Didn't you promise to protect her for me?" Grandpa Gu said.
Chao Bufan understood and smiled slightly, "Grandpa Gu, didn't you say that the Orthodox Church wouldn't bother you anymore? Miss Gu is already safe, and there's no need for me to protect her."
“That is true,” said Grandpa Gu, “but we are afraid of the worst. I only have one granddaughter. If something happens to her, it would kill this old man.”
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan pondered for a moment before saying, "Alright! I'll protect Miss Gu."
Gu Tingting was overjoyed. Old Master Gu chuckled and said, "Good, good, good. Now that you're protecting her, I can rest assured."
Chao Bufan smiled slightly, then turned and left.
"Brother Bufan, how can I contact you?" Gu Tingting asked, her heart brimming with joy.
"Don't worry, I'll come pick you up when you get back. Goodbye, Grandpa Gu."
"Take care!" Old Master Gu waved his hand and chuckled.
"Goodbye, Brother Bufan!"
"goodbye!"
……
It was already 3 PM when they returned to the Lucky House Hotel. He Yifei and Lin Xiaomin were meditating in their room. Seeing them meditating, Chao Bufan didn't disturb them. Instead, he went back to the living room, sat on the sofa, and began to think—
Father Frodo had already told him the main contents of the Bible, which clearly indicated that anyone who wanted to obtain God's treasure must first pass God's many tests. Only those who passed God's many tests were truly destined. So he wondered whether he should go to find "God's treasure." What would happen if he wasn't one of God's destined ones? Because he knew in his heart that God was omnipotent, and His treasure couldn't be easily obtained by others; it must be full of traps and obstacles—that was an undeniable fact, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many tests. If he was one of God's destined ones, then what was this mysterious treasure? Furthermore, what did the saying "Faith + Works = Salvation and Eternal Life" mean? And what was the heart of God?
