Conversation between Father and Son

"Dad, I can feel weird but strong energy from a person over here. I tried hard to find out the reason for it but even after trying for a long time, I was unable to do so. I am even unable to see through the person's soul. Though the energy is strong, it doesn't look malicious. But I am scared, what if my thinking goes wrong, so I thought of consulting with you." Explained Gu Shen what he felt and what was his thoughts on the matter.

Thinking for some time Mr. Gu asked him if he tried to go close to that person and feel the energy again as sometimes there are chances that when Viewed from a distance, the energy gets diverted and sometimes it might seem as if being emitted by someone else instead of the actual source.

Hearing that Gu Shen had already done what he was suggesting made Mr. Gu think even more about it. As a king, they are blessed with extra powers than any other normal person. In such a case when they cannot see through a soul, it makes their work much tougher.

"I am thinking if she has been taken over by a spirit because that seems the only plausible explanation for that energy. Thinking that way only solves one problem while the other problem remains as it is. Even if her body was taken by a spirit, we should be allowed to see through them which is our specialty." Spoke Gu Shen while informing his father about his analysis...

"Tell me more about that person" Ordered Mr. Gu after thinking for a long time.

"She is a classmate of mine, having a simple friend circle, kind of introverted and..."

Before Gu Shen could speak completely he was interrupted by Mr. Gu, "Did you just say she is a girl?"

"Yes father" Answered Gu Shen while wondering what difference would the gender make on their analysis.

Following the answer of Gu Shen came the loud patting voice of clapping, something that father Gu was used to doing when he would be extremely happy.

"She is the one then!" Came the happy, loud voice of Mr. Gu from the other end while Gu Shen was constantly wondering what made his father so happy.

Not hearing anything from his son Mr. Gu understood that he did not understand and went on to explain to him, "Do you remember, I said that the new owner of the house of spirit was chosen and it is a young girl of around sixteen years old?"

Understanding what his father suspected Gu Shen surprisedly spoke, "She?"

"Yes. The only soul that we cannot see through even with immense power is the soul of the owner of the House of spirit. They will have very strong energy and would keep themselves hidden. I am sure, if you were not by her side you would not even be able to figure out the energy from her. So I am almost sure that she is the one." Explained Mr. Gu

"What if she is not the one?" Asked Gu Shen while thinking about the girl who was like a chatterbox and was super messy. Shaking such thought's out of his mind he listened to Father Gu intently, while hoping for her not to be the queen as he could not even think about the house of spirit managed by such a messy person.

"There are various way's to know if she is the one, but I think there is no need to try them out. You can either use your powers on her and see if they can affect her if it does she is a body taken over by a spirit, if it doesn't she is the queen. Also, you can wait for a vengeful ghost to appear in front of her and see how she reacts or handles the situation. Another way would be to give a visit to the House of the spirit and officially meet her. Last and the safest but the most difficult way, try to visit her house in her presence. You will automatically see things that only the house of a Queen will have."

While Gu Shen was busy in his thoughts, Tian Tian had already finished and came out while holding her books in the hand and kept them on the coffee table while she sat down folding her legs, and adjusted herself.

Noticing that there was no movement from her tutor, she made a funny face towards him and later called him out while snapping her finger's in front of him.

Pointing towards the books Tian Tian spoke, "Should we start?"

Awkwardly clearing his throat Gu Shen also adjusted himself near the coffee table opposite her and opened the notebook.

"Okay, so looking at your mark sheet I realized we need to learn the basics as well before we start the actual study course." Spoke Gu Shen while he started writing something in her notebook.

'Was it not enough to teach this semester's subject, now this guy also wants to teach the basics. Won't it take too much time then?' Thinking Tian Tian tried to convince Gu Shen of not going through the basics.

"There is no need to go through the basics again, I know them." Spoke Tian Tian trying to skip learning basics all over again.

Removing her mark sheets and keeping them in front of her, Gu Shen pointed at them and spoke, "You say you know the basics, but your mark's say the other way round. Who do you expect a tutor to believe? A student or A student's mark sheet?"

The last sentence was like a tight slap on her face making her body shake in anger.

Gu Shen was indeed right. Even though she was well aware of the basics and had the knowledge of taking an A+ grade, her marks were not even in the range of B. Which will surely make anyone unable to believe on the fact that, she knew the subject well, especially people like Gu Shen who were used to believe in evidence.

Tian Tian was unable to retort when Gu Shen slapped her by showing her marks to her. Still trying to convince him she spoke, "You are only supposed to teach me the subject of this semester, why are you bothering with the basics then?"

"Without basics, you cannot learn anything." Answered Gu Shen sternly, even without looking at her making her feel angered on his words as well as on herself for not being able to fight back.

Just when Tian Tian was about to speak something, Gu Shen raised his head looked at her with his deep blue eyes, smiled gently, and spoke, "Let's start."

Unknown to Tian Tian her anger completely vanished the moment Gu Shen looked at her with that gentle smile.

'Why was I angry? The basics are simple, I can complete them quickly?' Wondering upon her irrational behavior Tian Tian frowned and started focusing on what Gu Shen was teaching her.

"Let's learn something about principal and interest today. If you can answer the question correctly I will not explain it, or else we will go through it thoroughly."

"If you keep 100 dollars in a bank and the interest is 14% per year. How much do you get back after five years and what is the interest you earn?" Asked Gu Shen
