"Master, is it because I forgot something before? Is it because my oversight affected Xin Xin?" Lu Zheng couldn't calmly drink his tea at this moment.
He didn't think that Master Liaowu wanted Gu Xin's hair and essence to harm people; he was just worried that he hadn't done things properly before and might have overlooked something that could harm Gu Xin.
"Duke Zhenguo, oh, I apologize, this humble monk forgot, I am currently only Prince Lu." Master Liaowu smiled and continued, "We haven't seen each other for seven years, Prince Lu, haven't you even asked if this humble monk has been well all these years?"
Master Liaowu's slow and deliberate tone calmed Lu Zheng down.
He readily accepted the tea, took a sip, and said, "Master's tea is still as good as it was back then."
"Hahahaha..." Master Liaowu laughed heartily and asked, "This humble monk does not recall that Prince Lu drank the tea brewed by this humble monk back then."
Lu Zheng: "..."
"Enough, enough." Master Liaowu waved his hand and laughed, "Young Master Lu, this humble monk only asked for Miss Gu's hair and essence blood to dispel her dream."
Lu Zheng asked nervously, "Master, I've been wanting to ask this for a long time. Is it because I didn't fully complete the secret technique from my past life that Xin Xin can dream about?"
Master Liaowu smiled meaningfully and said, "Yes, and no?"
Lu Zheng clasped his hands together devoutly: "I hope the master can enlighten me."
Master Liaowu said, "Young Master Lu completed the secret technique very well. All forty-nine girls had at least one similarity to Miss Gu, or their talents reached the level of Miss Gu, or their personalities. Therefore, Young Master Lu did a very good job."
Master Liaowu picked up his teacup, took a sip, and continued, "However, there is another part of the secret method that I only discovered in recent years. If it weren't for Prince Lu's success, I probably wouldn't have discovered this."
Lu Zheng looked at Master Liaowu and waited for him to continue.
Master Liaowu pursed his lips and said, "We are still missing Miss Gu's hair and essence."
Lu Zheng was shocked: "But seven years have passed. Xin Xin and I have been doing well for these seven years, and all my wishes have come true. Master, will the loss of Xin Xin's hair and essence have any impact? Will the impact be significant? Will it harm Xin Xin?"
Master Liaowu smiled and said, "It's not that big, but it's not that small either."
Lu Zheng: "..."
Monks are great in every way, really, except they can be incredibly frustrating when they talk.
Seeing Lu Zheng's anxious expression, Master Liaowu said in a good mood, "It has little impact on you, but it will have a big impact on the relationship between Miss Gu and her parents and elder sister."
Lu Zheng was taken aback, then he understood.
Master Liaowu said, “Miss Gu has reached marriageable age. If she marries you and you have physical intimacy, she will gradually remember everything that happened in the past, and she will also know about your madness for her after her death. Do you think Miss Gu can bear it? When you have real physical intimacy, she will remember those past events as if she had experienced them firsthand, instead of thinking it was just a dream, a dream in which you were the only one. So, it won't have much of an impact on you, but it will have a great impact on them.”
Lu Zheng frowned.
He hadn't thought about Gu Shouxin, Cai Xiaolian, and Gu Nian from his past life for a long time. The better these three were to Gu Xin in this life, the more cruel those three were to Gu Xin in his past life.
