Chapter 1548: Chapter 1486: A Helper Sent Over
Yan Er walked in, saw everyone there, blinked his eyes and shrugged his nose, saying, "So youâre all here; I had a hard time finding you. Xiao Li, quickly bring me some tea before I die of thirst."
"How did you find us?" Wufu looked him up and down. Half a year ago, this man came to Changan, disappearing mysteriously. After they went to the Cloud Realm, he left a message and vanished, now he appears again.
"Hey, arenât you living in Changqing Residence? He hasnât been in the envoy for ages, and I still donât know where he went?" Yan Er pointed disdainfully at Ah Jiu.
Ah Jiu frowned: "You came with the envoy group?"
Yan Er nodded, saying: "Yeah, I have a leisure job at the Ministry of Rites, so here I am."
"What are you doing here?" Wufu asked: "Nanyue Changan, you were here half a year ago, then ran off, and now youâre back again?"
"Thatâs something you wouldnât know. Thereâs a poem saying dream of old times in new places, longing for Changan from three thousand miles away. Canât I have a special fondness for Changan?" Yan Er said proudly.
Wufu scoffed.
Yan Er sipped tea, asked: "Oh, you just mentioned going to Miaojiang? Whoâs going? What for?"
Yan Erâs sudden interruption dissipated the previous tense atmosphere somewhat. Wufu looked at Yan Er, thought about his worldwide travels, his eyes lit up, and said: "You claim to have traveled a thousand miles; have you been to Miaojiang?"
"I have been there!"
Everyoneâs gaze fell on him.
Yan Er felt inexplicably proud again, saying: "What, curious? Hey, Iâve not only been there; I even know the Holy Maiden of Miaojiang!"
"Really?" Wufu was delighted.
"Of course itâs true, but why are you asking about this? That place is good, but full of poisonous insects and Gu techniques, you all go..." Yan Er spoke, feeling something was off, his smile diminished, asked: "Who ran into trouble?"
His gaze fell on Ah Jiu, Heaven, please donât let it be this ancestor.
"Ah Jiu has been cursed with Miaojiangâs Heart-devouring Gu, and itâs an improved version; now the Mother Gu is dead, but the Child Gu remains, having acted up once." Wufu said succinctly.
Yan Erâs hand shook with the teacup, spilling tea, he put the teacup on the table, asked: "Heart-devouring Gu? When did you provoke a Miaojiang woman?"
"Not a woman, a man!" Wufu recounted the assassination event again.
Yan Erâs expression was indescribable, his brow tightly furrowed, lips pressed into a line.
He knew, someone out there wouldnât be happy with this heavenâs favored child!
"Iâve heard of the Heart-devouring Gu while in Miaojiang; itâs a Love Gu, and many Miaojiang women cast such a Love Gu on their lovers." Yan Er said in a solemn voice: "Love Gu is mutually supportive, the Mother Gu controls the Child Gu, and if the Child Gu dies, the Mother Gu wonât live alone, so theyâre intertwined in life and death. Itâs my first time hearing the Mother Gu died while the Child Gu still lives."
"Otherwise, why would there be talk of improvement? Since you know the Holy Maiden of Miaojiang, could you ask her to help with Gu Solving?" Wufu said.
"Love Gu is hard to solve." Yan Er glanced at Ah Jiu, saying: "Iâll first send a letter to the Saintess to ask her for help, but you should also look for solutions with the Ghost Doctor, and then combine all efforts to find a way."
Bai Xiaobai nodded.
Wufu breathed a slight sigh of relief; Heaven has sent Yan Er, who knows the Holy Maiden of Miaojiangâdoes this mean Ah Jiuâs fate isnât doomed?
The recent worries were somewhat eased, Wufu gave Ah Jiu a happy smile.
