The two from Ancient Water Village were desperately running in circles, and although Yun Hao appeared to be just a child, he was pressing Zhang Shuying so hard that it was clear he was no pushover.
Who would dare to provoke him?
In their desperation, the middle-aged man knelt down, incessantly kowtowing to Yun Hao, "Please, your Excellency, lift your noble hand, your feud with Master Zhang can wait... my son... doesn't have much ti left…"
"Exactly, you look so respectable, you must be a good person, please help," the white-haired old man also pleaded, trembling.
Yun Hao coldly disregarded the two of them as if they were nothing, "What does this have to do with ."
"Yun Hao, maybe I should follow Zhang Shuying for now, and you don't need to conflict with him temporarily." I was also compelled to compromise.
Beyond pity for the suffering victim of Ancient Water Village, lingering here didn't seem likely to offer any progress.
Yun Hao was still able to listen to so of my words, "Falling into the hands of such scum, you could face danger at any mont."
"That won't happen. I'm his get-out-of-jail-free card; he won't have enough ti to protect ," I reasoned with Yun Hao.
Yun Hao's frosty gaze skewered Zhang Shuying, stepping half a step backward.
Zhang Shuying was preening as if he'd returned triumphant from battle.
Under Yun Hao's watchful eye, he took
onto a small horse.
The old man and the middle-aged man rode another.
Yun Hao followed behind with a sullen face.
It would take about an hour and a half to get from Ancient Water Village to the gates of the Gu Sect.
On the way, Zhang Shuying gathered so details about the situation.
The old man was the village chief of Ancient Water Village, known as Old Man Gu.
The middle-aged man was nad Gu Quansheng, and it was his son who was in trouble.
Gu Quansheng's son had been accepted into a university outside and had found a girlfriend from the Miao ethnicity.
The girl was particularly beautiful and was praised by everyone in the village when she was brought ho.
But sotis happiness leads to sorrow; recently, the girl had an argunt with Gu Quansheng's son.
Upset, the girl left and has been missing ever since.
After that, Gu Quansheng's son fell ill, initially just developing so sores on his skin.
They would heal with skin cream, but would reappear a few days later, each ti more severe than the last, until he was completely oozing pus all over.
Neither ingested nor topical dications had any effect, and he had been in a coma for two days straight.
The villagers all said the girl had inflicted him with a gu curse.
That's why Gu Quansheng had thought of seeking help from the Gu Sect.
When they arrived at Gu Quansheng's house.
Zhang Shuying glanced at the son and indeed confird that he had been poisoned by gu,
"It's a Love Gu; this kid has so romantic luck," he said.
"Is Master Zhang joking? He's about to die; where's the luck in that?" Gu Quansheng looked at his disfigured son with a face full of worry.
The house was filled with the foul sll of pus, and Gu Quansheng's son was so covered in festering wounds that there was hardly any healthy skin left.
Just one glance would unsettle anyone; it might even haunt them for days with nightmares.
The only ones willing to enter were Gu Quansheng,
Zhang Shuying, and myself, who was being held hostage, while even Yun Hao stood outside with a darkened expression.
"Geez, Love Gu is quite expensive; it requires a vast expenditure of human and material resources!"
Zhang Shuying said with envy, "I've thought about raising one myself, but I can't afford the cost. You don't realize how lucky you are. Many people can't even buy it if they want to, which shows that the Miao girl truly loved your son."
Gu Quansheng probably didn't expect that the master he sought would do nothing to help and would instead make callous remarks. He looked devastated, "What is a Love Gu used for? Why has my son beco like this after being affected, and can you cure him?"
