Inside the ward, Fu Huai'an looked at his son lying on the bed, his face as pale as paper, his eyes closed, and his weak breathing echoed in the quiet ward, each breath sounding extremely difficult.
The nurses went back and forth, and had already taken the son's ventilator off and taken out the testing equipment as well.
The doctor just said his son wouldn't make it through the night, and he should prepare himself. He stared blankly at everything, completely drained of strength! Overwhelmed with grief, he couldn't bear the pain of losing his son!
Finally, he mustered all his courage and stepped forward to hold his son's hand tightly. His son's hand was so cold, and his fingertips trembled slightly as he tried to hide his inner collapse.
Tears streamed silently down his face. He struggled to hold his breath, but the inner pain was like a sharp knife, relentlessly tearing at his heart...
"Mr. Fu, beg me, and I can save your son."
Li Zhiyi's words were like ripples on a calm lake.
Fu Huai'an, his body trembling slightly with excitement, asked, "Can you really save my son?"
"Yes, if I don't take action, your son will die soon."
At this moment, Fu Huai'an felt as if he had grasped at a straw. He didn't care who she was. As long as she could save his son, he would be grateful even if it meant giving up his life and all his wealth.
"Please, please save my son. I'll give you anything you want."
Li Zhiyi took out a piece of yellow paper and scribbled an indistinct pattern on it with her finger, as no one could see the pattern.
It slapped onto Fu Yanche's forehead.
"Ugh, ugh..." Fu Yanche suddenly sat up and began to vomit...
Before anyone could react, Fu Yanche vomited onto the pristine white medical blanket.
Fu Huai'an rushed to his son and asked with concern, "Son, how are you feeling?"
Only then did Gu Siye notice that the blanket was covered with countless tiny white insects. He frowned, clearly shocked by what he saw!
Li Zhi then threw a yellow talisman onto the quilt. The white worm that was still wriggling was wrapped in the talisman and suspended in the air, where it caught fire. The white worm was burned to ashes, while the medical quilt remained clean.
This strange scene was witnessed by others, and Fu Huai'an's eyes lit up. This was a master!
"vomit···"
Fu Yanche vomited a little more yellow fluid, finally clearing his throat, but he still felt nauseous.
Looking at the people in the ward, he asked, puzzled, "Dad, why are you back? Where's Mom?" He remembered that his mother had been crying before he fainted; it was all his fault for always making his family worry...
"Your mother is alright, son. How are you feeling now? Does your stomach still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
Fu Huai'an turned to Li Zhiyi, about to kneel and thank him for saving his son's life. "Master, thank you for saving my son. I will never go back on my word for anything you want!" His son was able to wake up entirely because this master had saved him.
Li Zhi hurriedly helped Fu Huai'an up, "Uncle Fu, you don't need to be so agitated. Young Master Fu is still in danger. I only expelled the Gu worms from his stomach, but the mother worm hasn't come out yet."
Fu Huai'an wondered, "What kind of Gu worm?" Wasn't his son suffering from food poisoning, leading to multiple organ failure?
“Young Master Fu did not suffer from food poisoning; he was infected with a Gu worm from Miao territory. Moreover, he had been infected with this Gu worm for some time, but for some reason, it had not been active in his body. It should have been dormant before, and the Gu worm was only awakened a week ago.”
At this moment, Fu Huai'an remembered that his son had indeed started feeling nauseous a week ago. At that time, the doctor said it was food poisoning, so he was treated for food poisoning.
Everything was fine until yesterday when my son's stomach started hurting again. Could it be that my son is really under a spell?
"Sir, please, you must save my son! I beg you!"
"Yes, as long as you believe me, I will save him."
"I believe you, I believe you." Fu Huai'an's trust in Li Zhiyi reached its peak at this moment. His son had just stopped breathing and the doctors had declared that he couldn't be cured, but as soon as she took action, his son woke up. He had also seen the small white worms that his son had vomited.
It seems things are much more complicated than he imagined. He just doesn't know who he has offended to want his son to be put to death.
"Well, I have some other things to take care of today. Young Master Fu is out of danger for now, and I will come back tomorrow to treat him." After saying that, he turned to leave.
Fu Huai'an was afraid that this expert wouldn't come. "Expert, please tell me your contact information. I will come to pick you up in person tomorrow."
"Um, I don't have a cell phone."
Gu Siye then realized that she didn't have a phone, so it seemed like it was time to get her one.
"Dad, let this young lady go home first. She's Si Ye's friend." Hearing his son say this, Fu Huai'an finally felt relieved. No wonder she took action; she was Gu Si Ye's friend.
As they walked out of the hospital, Gu Siyue finally couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is your purpose?"
"What's the meaning?"
"You went to such lengths to get close to me, came to my Gu family, and now you've become friendly with the Fu family. I don't believe you're doing this to fulfill your marriage promise."
"Hmm, you're very clever, Young Master Gu. Don't worry, I won't harm you. Please put me down up ahead." She didn't want to tell anyone about her search for her master, because his disappearance was too suspicious. She wanted to find the clues herself.
Thinking of her master, Li Zhiyi's mood became quite low. She wondered where her master was now, and whether he had been controlled by evil cultivators. Thinking of this, her eyes dimmed.
Gu Siye saw in the rearview mirror that she seemed very unhappy. Could it be because of his suspicions about her? Anyone would have doubts in her situation. In their interactions over the past few days, he had seen that she was capable and truly knew magic. Would a woman like that get married? Shouldn't she be thinking about cultivation and ascension?
No matter what secrets she might have, he believed she couldn't cause any trouble under his watch.
Li Zhi stood at the crossroads, amidst the surging crowds, and ate a simple meal.
Finally, I decided to go to the police station to report the case and see if I could find my master's whereabouts.
