Gu Jianlin fell silent again upon hearing that name.
Chen Bojun chuckled and explained, "Actually, the old man has been thinking about you for many years. It's just that we all suspected that the curse on your family might be avoided by living an ordinary life. That's why no one has come near you for a long time, fearing you might accidentally awaken."
"It's very difficult because, historically, your family has invariably become Ascenders. I heard from your father that your second great-uncle's cousin's brother also tried to avoid the curse this way, and didn't awaken until the age of thirty-nine. But on the night before his fortieth birthday, just while squatting over a pit, he accidentally crossed over."
He spread his hands, "The next day, he was taken to the crematorium."
Gu Jianlin's eye twitched slightly.
"You can also ask Mr. Huai more about the curse,"
Chen Bojun said, "He is the only person who can help you."
Gu Jianlin nodded.
