Qin Yingxian wiped away his tears, then suddenly had a thought, "Father, could it be the Liu family?"

Today, my brother and Sister Su borrowed a spring gift from the Spring Festival but didn't let Liu Lin buy it. The two siblings looked very unhappy at that time.

Later, when we were leaving, the shop assistant at the jade shop said that the Liu family's shop was almost vandalized today because of the spring decorations, and they must hate us now, and might even come up with this insidious plan to harm my brother..."

The more she spoke, the more likely it seemed. If her brother had any grudges against anyone, the Liu family would be the prime suspect. Moreover, they had been at the jade gambling street just three hours earlier. "Father, it's the Liu family. It's most likely the Liu siblings. They're the ones who harmed my brother..."

"Yingxian! Don't speak recklessly before the matter is cleared up." Magistrate Qin scolded her in a low voice, stopping her from speaking.

Then he bowed to A-Zheng, his eyes pleading, "I beg you, young lady, to remove this curse from my son."

"As long as you can successfully remove this curse from my son, I will grant you anything you desire, as long as it is within my capabilities and does not harm the Great Yu's state."

Now, Bingfen is searching for the person who cast the curse.

He only has this one son and one daughter over the years. His wife was injured when she gave birth to Yingxian and only recently recovered somewhat. If something were to happen to Yucheng, his wife would probably have to go with him.

Even the entire Li family behind it will likely be thrown into chaos.

Ah Zheng didn't react much, only saying calmly, "I do know how to cure this Nine Yin Puppet Gu, but—"

"But what?" The Qin father and daughter felt as if their hearts had been suddenly lifted and suspended in mid-air.

Magistrate Qin had even decided that no matter what conditions she set, as long as they were reasonable, he would agree to them all.

A-Zheng glanced at him and continued, "However, the Nine Yin Puppet Gu is different from ordinary Gu. It doesn't have a mother Gu, so removing it is a bit troublesome. It requires a catalyst, and I don't have one on me right now."

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Qin breathed a sigh of relief. "Where is the catalyst the young lady needs? I'll send someone to fetch it right away!"

Or could you tell me the name of this ingredient? I'll have someone go to the pharmacy to get it right now.

“We can’t get it, and we can’t transfer it.” Azheng shook her head. “That thing is only available in Xirong. It would take at least ten days to come and go. He simply can’t wait that long.”

"What?" Upon hearing this, Magistrate Qin almost fainted, but fortunately, Qin Yingxian, who was standing nearby, caught him quickly.

Giving hope only to have it suddenly shattered is more painful than having no hope at all in the first place.

Is it really true that his efforts to bring about success will not survive this calamity?

"Why are you in such a hurry, you old man!" A-Zheng flicked her sleeve. "Although there's no catalyst, we can use something else instead. It's not like we're going to die for sure."

Bring some of the medicinal herbs and food he usually likes; anything the Nine Yin Puppet Gu likes, you can try it.”

When Magistrate Qin heard that medicinal herbs and food were mentioned again, he had no choice but to bring over all the food from Qin Yucheng's small kitchen, including green vegetables, fruits, and even chickens and ducks with feathers still on and fish with their tails still wagging.

As for the medicinal herbs, they took ginseng, lingzhi, snow lotus, and other herbs from the Qin family's storeroom.

Elder Xue and Elder Zhou also took out the pills that were supposed to suppress their bodies.

However, Ah Zheng, holding onto the black ceramic bottle, shook her head repeatedly, saying, "None of these will do."

Su Hua sighed, took the excuse of urinating, retrieved half a ladle of spatial water droplets from the flower toilet, cut off a slice of old ginseng that had been stored in the space, crushed it with a large stone, and put it all into an unfinished wine bottle.

He handed it to Azheng, saying, "Azheng, why don't you try this? Is it okay?"

Everyone looked up and saw that Su Hua had even taken out a wine bottle. They couldn't help but twitch at the corner of their mouths. Could Gu worms drink alcohol?

Ah Zheng was silent for a moment. She usually liked to drink a sip or two, but just because she liked to drink it didn't mean the Gu worms liked it.

She stroked the wine bottle a couple of times, about to speak, when the black ceramic bottle in her other hand suddenly moved.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of a cat's claws scratching against glass rang out again, even more intensely than when the blood was being drunk.

"Hmm, my Gu baby really does like drinking?"

A Zheng smiled and opened the bottle again to sniff it. She then looked at Su Hua with some curiosity and asked, "Little Hua, where did you buy this wine? It smells really good."

“I brewed it myself with medicinal herbs. If your Gu… Gu baby likes it, I’ll brew some more for you.”

Su Hua found it a bit awkward to call the Gu worm "baby" so affectionately. Seeing everyone looking at the wine pot, she subtly changed the subject, "Since this wine can help, why don't you help Yu Cheng remove the Gu worm first?"

Upon hearing the sound, the Qin family members indeed forgot all about the wretched wine pot. Only Xiao Jinhan, who had been standing at the door, had a deeper look in his eyes.

Hua'er went to the local temple earlier without a wine bottle on her, and there wasn't even a hint of alcohol in the smell.

Inside the room, A-Zheng had Magistrate Qin prepare a ceramic basin and a brazier, which were placed under Qin Yucheng's bed. She poured all the wine from the wine pot into the empty ceramic basin, and then took out five small ceramic bottles from a dusty little cloth bag.

Old Xue swallowed hard, but reluctantly took two steps forward. "Should we leave to remove this curse?"

Although it was a question, the expectation in it was so strong it made one's ears ring. In fact, to be able to witness the solution to the Nine Yin Puppet Gu in one's lifetime is an immense opportunity.

However, each sect has its own rules. Witchcraft is a secret art of the Western Rong witch doctors. It doesn't matter if ordinary people see it, but if they see it, the people of the Divine Doctor Valley might learn a bit or two.

"No need, you wouldn't understand anyway," A-Zheng waved her hand dismissively.

Old Xue paused as he turned around. These words... left him momentarily unsure whether to be pleased or angry. Why was this little girl so blunt?
