When they returned to the City Lord's Mansion, the housekeeper seemed to know that the two had completed the collection task, and placed a stove for decocting medicine in the yard.
The two of them simply washed the herbs, put them in according to the order stated in the prescription, and then waited for the time to come.
"How old are you?" Gu Nianchen asked while looking at the fire in the stove while waiting.
"I'm 23, how about you?" Bai Luoyu asked back.
"25, do you know why there is such a space?" Gu Nianchen obtained very little information after coming to this world, so he wanted to learn as much as possible.
"I don't know either. I only know that it has existed for a long time, but there is a legend about it." Bai Luoyu said, holding his chin.
"What legend?" Gu Nianchen became a little interested.
"Legend has it that we are a cursed clan. In order to prevent us from developing, everyone in our lives must experience this disaster with a very high mortality rate." Bai Luoyu said this when he heard it from the old people on the street when he was a child. He didn't know whether it was true or not.
"Is there a way to break the curse?" Gu Nianchen felt that this statement was very true. It did look a bit like a curse, but this curse was very special.
"I don't know." Bai Luoyu shook his head.
Gu Nianchen pondered, it seems that after finishing this tree hole, he should go out and investigate it thoroughly. This legend is definitely not a rumor, it would be best if he could crack it, then maybe the points will be doubled.
The medicine was quickly boiled and Gu Nianchen poured out the liquid.
At this time, Guan Jian came over and said, "Young man, you're really fast. You found it in just half a day. Leave it to me. Follow me."
Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu looked at each other, followed the butler into the previous city lord's room.
The butler fed the medicine to the city lord, and the city lord woke up in a few moments.
"Thank you, miracle doctor, for saving my life. This is your reward." The city lord sat up and said to Bai Luoyu with a smile on his face.
The butler took the gift from the City Lord and walked over. Bai Luoyu saw that it was an ornament and was extremely happy: "Thank you, City Lord."
At this moment, Gu Nianchen saw a white teleportation array appear on Bai Luoyu's right shoulder.
“So that’s how it is.”
"Yes, this is the first time I've seen it too. It's so magical. I can feel it now. I'm connected to it. I can return to the real world as long as I want." Bai Luoyu also felt it was magical and sighed.
Bai Luoyu completed his mission, and the butler stopped looking at him. He turned his head to Gu Nianchen and said, "Did this young man find any clues?"
"No." Gu Nianchen shook his head.
Bai Luoyu comforted him, "It's okay. There are still two days left. I'll help you look for it. We will definitely find it."
Gu Nianchen smiled and continued, "But I already know the truth."
"Oh? Please explain clearly." The housekeeper spoke after hearing what Gu Nianchen said.
"The truth is, the city lord's wife died at the hands of the city lord, not some flower thief." Gu Nianchen spoke, and all three of them were shocked.
"Ah? How is that possible? Isn't the city lord also injured?" Bai Luoyu asked in confusion. He never expected this result.
"What nonsense!" the city lord shouted.
"The City Lord's wife is twenty-nine years old this year and has been in the mansion for more than ten years. She is still a virgin. May I ask the City Lord for an explanation?" Gu Nianchen asked in return.
He wanted to tell the result directly, but from the process of Bai Luoyu completing the task, it can be seen that even if the result can be obtained directly, the process must be completed reasonably to complete the task.
"I..." The city lord's face suddenly turned pale. "I have been practicing martial arts since I was young and my bones have been damaged. I can't have sex. What does this have to do with the case?"
"Then if he is a flower thief as the city lord said, when he saw the beautiful young lady, he only cared about torturing and killing her but did not touch the lady at all. Does that make sense?" Gu Nianchen continued to ask.
The City Lord began to sweat. He had a vague feeling that his secret had been discovered by Gu Nianchen. For so many years, no one had ever completed this side quest, and he had always gotten away with it. Could it be that today...

【Perform normally.】
Seeing that the City Lord remained silent, Gu Nianchen continued, "The evil skill the City Lord practices requires a Gu to be nurtured within a young girl's body. When the time is up, the Gu must be taken out of the girl's body while she is still alive, and then the Lord absorbs it to enhance his power."
"The day before yesterday was the day when the Gu took shape. The City Lord removed it and everything went smoothly. However, he himself was unable to withstand the Gu's overpowering power and suffered a backlash that seriously injured him."
"Unable to clean up the scene, you could only lie after the housekeeper discovered it, saying that a thief had sneaked into the mansion and raped and murdered the lady. You fought him but were defeated and seriously injured, and the thief escaped."
"Nonsense." After hearing this, the city lord rushed up with a ferocious face.
"Be careful." Bai Luoyu shouted in panic.
Gu Nianchen was not at all panicked. He stretched out his right hand and waved it at the city lord, who flew backwards.
There was a moment of illusion before his eyes, and the city lord and the housekeeper disappeared before his eyes, and a white teleportation array appeared on Gu Nianchen's right shoulder.
"Yours is also completed, that's great." Bai Luoyu almost jumped up with joy.
They have already completed the task and can leave at any time. How can they not be happy?
"Let's go out. There won't be too many props in a first-level space. You have already obtained the space key and the accessory just now. It will be difficult to find anything else if we stay." Gu Nianchen said to Bai Luoyu.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Bai Luoyu nodded. He also wanted to go back to see his mother as soon as possible. She was still waiting for him in the hospital, so he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait, tell me your address, otherwise how can I find you when I go out." Gu Nianchen grabbed Bai Luoyu and asked.
He didn't know whether he had an identity in this real world, or whether he would be teleported to the real world, so he had to ask clearly. If he was teleported there, he would be able to find Bai Luoyu.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Bai Luoyu told Gu Nianchen the address.
"Okay, goodbye then." Gu Nianchen was a little reluctant to leave. Although he had seen his wife just after arriving, she almost got into trouble in such a short time, which made him feel very nervous.
Bai Luoyu turned around and walked in front of Gu Nianchen, stretched out his arms and hugged Gu Nianchen.
"Thank you very much. If possible, can we be partners again in the next tree hole?" Bai Luoyu asked cautiously.
"Of course, we have to go through the Seven Tree Caves together, and no one can fall behind." Gu Nianchen hugged Bai Luoyu back, and then let go reluctantly.
"Yeah." Bai Luoyu turned and entered the teleportation array.
Gu Nianchen watched Bai Luoyu disappear from his sight and also entered the teleportation array.
