After leaving the incense and candle shop, Lin Xue and the others returned to their original residence.
Along the way, Lin Xue also told the old lady about Miao Sanbai's situation.
Finally, the old lady said that Miao Sanbai should go to her alone, and even if the matter was reported to the police, they probably wouldn't be able to make a judgment.
As long as Miao Tiantian doesn't admit it, they can't produce any substantial evidence.
After all, Miao Sanbai's parents have been dead for many years, and much of the evidence is no longer available.
You can't convince the police with just words.
Lin Xue thought it made sense, so that very night she took Miao Sanbai to find the old lady.
The old lady pulled Miao Sanbai into the room alone, and then kicked Lin Xue out.
Having no other choice, Lin Xue went to chat with Lei Jing and the others.
I recounted what had happened in the past two days and told them that the curse on my body had been lifted.
Upon hearing that the Gu poison in Lin Xue's body had been cured, the Gu master finally couldn't sit still any longer. He planned to go and learn from the old lady once Miao Sanbai returned.
Gu Minglei also planned to return to the lab, since he had been away for quite some time.
Previously, because the laboratory had received a large donation from Lin Xue, he, as a grown man, felt somewhat embarrassed to let a young girl like Lin Xue run around on her own, so he accompanied Lin Xue and the others on this trip.
Lei Jing also said that she would return to the lab once Miao Sanbai's matter was resolved.
Although Lin Xue was transferred from Shangjing, no one has given her a proper handover yet.
Moreover, Lin Xue had already promised the old lady that she would stay with her from now on, so she didn't bring it up again.
Well, everyone just tacitly agrees on this!
That evening, Miao Sanbai returned home looking somewhat downcast.
Lin Xue could roughly guess what it was about, but she didn't say anything, after all, it was their own business.
As the saying goes, a gentleman doesn't leave a grudge unavenged, but Lin Xue wasn't quite sure how much revenge was needed.
However, Lin Xue didn't have to wait long for this matter. Two days later, she heard that the proprietress of the Miaopu Incense and Candle Shop had died.
Upon hearing the news, Lin Xue said nothing. She patted Miao Sanbai on the shoulder and told Lei Jing to take the child back to the city and entrust him to Ye Shisan's care.
Some grudges must be avenged, and Lin Xue is no saint.
However, after everyone left, the Gu master stayed with the old lady every day, pestering her relentlessly to teach him more advanced Gu techniques.
Lin Xue was also kept by the old lady's side to learn basic kung fu.
According to the old lady, even if Lin Xue returned to Shangjing with her current abilities, she might still be unknowingly poisoned by the other party.
Instead of delivering vegetables, it would be better to focus on learning and improving one's skills before talking about revenge.
Lin Xue thought about it and realized it made sense, so she put aside her distractions and settled down to follow the old lady and learn the art of raising Gu worms.
Of course, I also came into contact with the little white worm in the old lady's box.
The little white worm was not a round, long worm, but rather a flat one.
If it weren't for its extreme thinness and length, and its almost transparent white color, Lin Xue would most likely have mistaken it for a horsehair worm or something similar.
Just as Lin Xue was immersed in the magical world of Gu magic, more than half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
But one day, six months later, when Lin Xue went out to shop, she saw a figure that looked very much like Mo Sangyuan.
Even now, Lin Xue still harbors a mixture of hatred and fear towards Mo Sangyuan. Whenever she sees him, she immediately turns around and runs home.
This subconscious action demonstrates just how terrifying Mo Sangyuan is in Lin Xue's heart.
However, it wasn't until she ran home that Lin Xue realized the Gu poison had been removed from her body, and she no longer needed to be afraid of the other party.
"What's wrong? Did a dog chase you from behind?"
The old lady rarely saw Lin Xue acting so boisterously, and looked behind her with some curiosity.
Unfortunately, Lin Xue's back was pressed firmly against the courtyard gate, and the old lady had no idea what was happening outside.
"ah?"
"I think I just saw my ex-boyfriend, and I overreacted a bit in my excitement!"
Lin Xue took a while to catch her breath before she finally found her voice.
She put the vegetable basket on the stone table in the yard and started talking about what she had discovered outside that day.
"Look at you, so spineless. Now that he's come to our territory, are we going to be afraid of him?"
The old lady poked Lin Xue's head with her index finger, clearly disappointed in her.
Lin Xue felt as if she had been pricked by a needle in her head, and quickly reached out to rub it.
"Grandma, have you forgotten that you're practicing Gu poison? I don't know how many Gu poisons you have on your hands, they're hurting me so much!"
At Lin Xue's urging, the old lady had previously gathered a lot of stinging caterpillars, specifically to extract the spiky hairs from their backs to refine new poisons.
Once this poison comes into contact with a person, it will cause them to suffer from a persistent stinging and burning sensation.
If there are enough of them, it can be a really good way to torture people.
"Ha, why don't you hurry up and relieve the pain yourself!"
"All you do is act cute and charming in front of me all day long. Do you think I'll fall for that?"
Seeing Lin Xue pouting and rubbing her forehead, the old lady sighed helplessly. She really fell for this act.
Lin Xue often used the method of acting cute to get things from her.
