Chapter 1544: Chapter 1482: All Sides Seek Clues
Upon learning of the perilous nature of Ah Jiu’s Gu poison, Wufu’s heart raced rapidly, and he dropped onto a seat, lips quivering, hands trembling slightly.
"If this is a Gu insect, then Xue Dizi must have been to Miaojiang, where the toxic insects and Gu techniques are most prevalent. This Gu must have been cultivated there," Master Gui said gravely.
Wufu took a deep breath and looked at Bai Xiaobai, "What kind of Gu is it?"
Bai Xiaobai shook his head, "I can’t diagnose it right away. I need to find records similar to this piece."
"I also have so records about poisons and Gu insects. I’ll ask Ding Lai to bring them over later," Master Gui said.
Wufu bowed toward Master Gui, "Thank you very much."
Master Gui continued, "Moreover, Xue Dizi is solitary and sinister, with a venomous nature. From the trap he left behind, it’s clear. Did he say anything before he died?"
"He said, if he died, I wouldn’t live either," Ah Jiu’s weak voice interjected.
Wufu saw him being helped out by Xiao Li and Yuan Ye, his hair still dripping water, his face ghastly pale, and couldn’t help going over, asking urgently, "How are you doing?"
Ah Jiu’s hand trembled slightly, refusing to lie down on the bed, insisting on sitting on the chair, "I’m fine for now."
Wufu wanted to persuade him to rest well first, but when his gaze swept over Ah Jiu’s pallid face, he swallowed his words.
The Gu insect lurking in his body, as long as it’s not extracted, is like a ticking bomb, ready to explode at any mont.
The first attack had made Ah Jiu seem frenzied. What if it happens again?
The insect, breathing in tandem with the person, also surely relies on the host, growing together. When it becos increasingly fierce, will he be able to withstand it?
What would happen if it couldn’t be suppressed?
Wufu dared not imagine, his priority now was to gather more information quickly and remove the damned Gu insect.
"If he dies, you wouldn’t live?" Master Gui frowned, "This is bad; if so, there might be another Gu related to it in Xue Dizi’s body, possibly a Mother Gu. If it died with him, then your..."
Ah Jiu frowned.
"Xue Dizi turned into a pool of blood," Wufu’s voice turned stiff.
Ah Jiu reached out, gripping her hand, finding it cool and clammy, murmuring hoarsely, "Don’t be scared, everything in the world has its counter. It will be found. Besides, I’m fine now."
"I’ll search now," Bai Xiaobai rushed out.
Wufu looked at Yuan Ye, "Bai Xiaobai can’t go to the Eastern Palace anymore, make the arrangents." He needed to stay by Ah Jiu’s side to ensure soone could help suppress the Gu insect when it acted up.
Yuan Ye nodded.
"Gather the manpower, let’s discuss sending soone to Miaojiang."
Master Gui noticed Wufu giving orders without excluding him, lips pressed tightly, then saw the unprecedented worry and urgency on her face, and sighed slightly.
Perhaps she was truly moved, hence her deep care.
Master Gui said, "I’ll also go make arrangents, see if I can find any clues from my end."
Ah Jiu cupped his hands, "Master Gui, words can’t express my gratitude for your great favor. I’ll rember this, if there’s anything you require in the future, please ask."
He wasn’t an ungrateful person; the assistance given was, no matter the reason, a kindness that should be rembered.
Master Gui nodded, cupping his hands, "Farewell!"
Wufu had soone escort him out, then dismissed the crowd and helped Ah Jiu into the room to rest.
