King Nanyang asked, “Since they are Xiao Min’s flesh and blood, why didn’t you mention it in the intelligence?”
Xu Qing paused and said, “I think this is not important unless you plan to use them as a bargaining chip to threaten the Wei family, but I think you probably disdain this.”
King Nanyang’s voice was not loud, but there was an ice-cold chill. “Don’t casually guess my thoughts, and don’t make any decisions for me. Your mission is to gather information. Whether it’s important or not is not up to you to judge.”
Xu Qing lowered his head. “I know my mistake.” “Go and receive your punishment yourself.”
“Yes.”
Fifteen minutes later, Xu Qing came out of a secret room underground, covered in blood.
The Gu Master handed him a set of clean clothes at the door. “I guess it’s better for you to change your clothes before going back.”
Xu Qing reached out with his lacerated hand and carried the clothes over. The Gu Master smiled. “After not seeing you for a few years, you’re still as quiet as before.”
Xu Qing said coldly, “We don’t seem to have much of a relationship.”
The Gu Master smiled slowly and said, “No matter what, we work together. What’s the relationship between those three children and Master?”
Although he was a little late, he could tell that the three little fellows looked a little similar to his Master.
Xu Qing said, “This is none of your business.”
“If you don’t want to tell me, I’ll ask myself.” The Gu Master really arrived at King Nanyang’s study.
Master hated chattering the most. He simply went straight to the point and said, “Master, those three children… I want to choose one to refine a Gu child. After refining him, I’ll use him as Gu and poison Wei Ting. No one will be able to resolve it.”
He deliberated his tone and carefully observed his Master’s expression. If his Master refused, he would never mention this again.
King Nanyang said indifferently, “Up to you.”
The Gu Master heaved a sigh of relief. As expected of his Master, who was always the first person to sever ties.
He smiled and said, “I will definitely not disappoint Master. I will use the
Golden Toad Gu as a mother Gu to refine the strongest Gu child!”
The Golden Toad Gu was the most powerful Gu he had refined. He could not even bear to use it on Wei Ting and Jing Yi.
He had to think about who to refine into a Gu child. The three little fellows had good aptitude. The one called Dahu was the strongest and should be the one who could withstand the poison the most. The one called Erhu was not bad either. He wondered if he would be poisoned to death halfway.
How about the youngest? He was the noisiest.
The Master hated noisy children.
The courtyard fell silent, and the Gu Master was a little surprised. “You’re finally tired? Alright, it will save me a lot of effort later.”
The Gu Master had never raised a child. Otherwise, he would know that when a child was quiet, he must be causing trouble.
The three little ones were playing hide-and-seek. They hid and came to a room filled with jade jars.
One of the jade jars was big and beautiful.
Dahu removed the lid, revealing a palm-sized toad. It was white, but was taintly black under its skin.
“What is this?” Xiaohu asked.
“A toad,” Dahu said. “It seems to be sick.”
“He’s not sick.” Erhu pointed at the toad and said, “His glabella is black. He’s poisoned!”
“Your glabella is flying (black).” Xiao Hu imitated him. “Embarrassing!”
“I have the antidote.” The treasure in Erhu’s pocket was much older. He took out the Eight Trigrams Mirror, thea small stone, and finally a small medicine bottle. He poured out a small yellow pill.
He stuffed the little yellow pill into the mouth of the Golden Toad Gu.
The Golden Toad Gu fed on poison, and suddenly having an antidote pill was simply disintegrating.
Swoosh!
Its toxicity had decreased by half.
After it really entered the human body, the poison would change the person who would become a living Gu. The little yellow pill would not provide any remedy.
But now, the little yellow pill was effective.
Xiaohu saw that it had turned a little white and clapped his hands. “Another one! Another one!” Erhu fed him another one.
Swoosh!
The toxicity fell by half again.
Xiaohu cried out, “More! More!”
Er Hu fed it five to six in one go. When the Gu Master came to look for it, it had already returned to its initial state.
The Gu Master watched as the toad that he had refined for more than half a year and fed countless powerful poison Gu was destroyed overnight. His entire blood qi surged!
“What are you doing!”
He roared angrily!
The three little fellows were stunned by him.
The Gu Master was furious. To a Gu Master, a Gu was life. No one could touch his Gu. If they did, they would die!
“You… you… I’m going to kill you! I’m going to kill you!”
“Run!” Dahu made a prompt decision and pulled his two brothers out. The Gu Master picked up a wooden stick and chased after them.
He wanted to beat them to death!
Beat them all to death!
No, he wanted to refine them all into Gu children! He wanted them to live a life worse than death!
The three little fellows ran!
King Nanyang was sorting out the information of the various spies when suddenly, three children rushed in.
Without a word, the three of them walked around the desk and came to him, climbing onto his thigh as if they were running for their lives.
“Where are you running to? Stop right there!”
The Gu Master rushed in with a murderous aura and raised his wooden stick to hit the three of them, but he stopped in time when he saw King Nanyang.
Only then did he realize that the three little fellows had broken into his Master’s study.
No matter how irrational he was, he would never dare to attack King Nanyang.
He put down the stick. “I’m sorry, Master. I disturbed you. I’ll take them away now! ”
With that, he said coldly to the three of them, “Get down!”
They were smart people and could tell that the Gu Master was afraid of King
Nanyang.
They did not know that King Nanyang was the most terrifying.
King Nanyang looked coldly at the three little fellows in his arms and was about to throw them down one by one.
Suddenly, the three of them stretched out their soft arms and hugged his neck tightly.
The three round heads were also buried deep in his arms. His cold arms were instantly filled..
