Feng Piaopiao was already resentful of Guo Ming because she had fought with him and hadn't won.
When Guo Ming regained consciousness and returned with them, he put on a smart face, which made Feng Piaopiao even more annoyed.
Upon hearing Guo Ming's words, he had another guess and couldn't help but sit up straight and ask:
"Let me see how bold your conjecture is."
Guo Ming pursed his lips, vaguely sensing Feng Piaopiao's hostility, but still spoke respectfully:
"I guess that Lucky Tea is selective in who gets it."
“They specifically target people with good fortune, fulfill their wishes, and then take away their fortune. This can be considered a kind of exchange, so there is no karmic backlash.”
"Oh, oh, oh, you're being picky about who you're hiring?"
As soon as Guo Ming finished speaking, Feng Piaopiao rolled her eyes and pointed out what she thought was a loophole:
"According to you, those who can enter Biyue City are all chosen ones selected by human intervention?"
After saying that, he muttered a complaint in a low voice:
"Isn't that something anyone can drink a bowl of?"
Before Feng Piaopiao could finish her rant, Liu Yunqing nodded and said:
"I had the same guess."
Wuchen, who was standing to the side, nodded slightly in agreement.
Zhuo Ying seemed to be deep in thought, then raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she had figured it out.
The remaining Ruan Qing obviously didn't have this idea, but she just wanted to mock Feng Piaopiao, and she bared her teeth at the other party in a smug way.
Feng Piaopiao was fed up and turned to look at Liu Yunqing, saying:
"You'd better be able to explain it in a way that makes sense."
Liu Yunqing glanced at him, her expression remaining calm, and said:
"Whether it's Liu Xiangqin, Master Wuchen visiting that family, or Guo Ming, although they are very different and not all of them are cultivators, they all have one thing in common."
"They were all very lucky, the kind of luck that's obvious to the naked eye."
A lucky person who has never done anything wrong and can even be described as a rare good person can suddenly fall into a desperate situation.
And coincidentally, when they were in dire straits, they all drank the Lucky Tea. It might be a coincidence for one person, but if it happened to all of them, it couldn't be a coincidence.
After Liu Yunqing finished speaking, he thought for a moment and added:
"However, we have limited manpower and have only visited three companies, which is not enough to support this judgment."
Guo Ming, sensing the implied meaning in the music, immediately chimed in with a quick wit:
"Although the Guo family is weak, they still have a few Qi Refining stage disciples who are usable. If you don't mind, I can send them out."
"Moreover, given the situation here, it should be easier for us to find people."
"However, if there are any particularly difficult situations, I hope that my fellow Daoists will lend a helping hand."
Liu Yunqing had meant it that way, and immediately agreed.
They should conduct more investigations beforehand so that they can handle things directly once the Shangqing Sect arrives.
It wasn't that Liu Yunqing wanted to meddle; besides her own disdain for the evil deeds of "Good Luck Tea," she also felt a vague unease in her heart.
I have a feeling that if this matter is not handled properly, it will pose a great hidden danger in the future.
Upon seeing this, Guo Ming immediately gave instructions to the few Guo family youths still in the hall.
Seeing this, Liu Yunqing thought to himself, "No wonder they kept the person here; it turns out they had already planned this all along."
After giving instructions in front of everyone, Guo Ming turned to them and politely said:
"What do you fellow Daoists think of this approach?"
The group nodded in unison, finding nothing to criticize.
When only Guo Ming remained from the Guo family, he hesitated for a moment before speaking again:
"Actually, I had a premonition that this Lucky Tea was indeed the result of a deliberate conspiracy."
“I don’t know about the others, but when I think about what the Guo family has been through in the past two years, everything makes sense.”
"The Guo family's difficulties were deliberately caused by someone, and the Good Luck Tea was also intentionally delivered to them."
Feng Piaopiao's curiosity was piqued, and she opened her eyes wide to ask:
"The person who gave you the 'lucky tea' must be up to something. Who is it?"
When asked about this, Guo Ming's eyes dimmed instantly, and his hasty lowering of his gaze could not hide the sadness in his eyes.
Now even Feng Piaopiao knew, without needing to be reminded, who had offered Guo Ming the "Good Luck Tea."
Thinking of Guo Ming's miserable state, Feng Piaopiao's slight resentment subsided considerably. Looking around, she unusually offered words of comfort:
"Hey, you're really lucky. Everyone else who got infected died, but you ran into us. Maybe you can actually be saved!"
Guo Ming's sadness was only momentary. As soon as Feng Piaopiao finished speaking, he regained his composure and thanked her with a smile.
...
To facilitate communication with the Guo family, Liu Yunqing and his group stayed at the Guo family's house after discussing matters with Guo Ming.
Early the next morning, members of the Guo family brought back news.
Then, news kept coming back throughout the day.
In just two days, they had gathered all the information they could.
The conclusion reached was almost exactly the same as what the others had guessed.
It's pretty much confirmed that behind the Good Luck Tea, someone is specifically selecting people with strong luck.
The ability to discern a person's fortune so accurately clearly indicates that someone has mastered a special eye technique and uses it to cultivate unorthodox cultivation methods.
As for the Lucky Tea in Biyue City?
That would naturally be mass-produced, generic tea.
Fearing that he might offend someone he shouldn't, Liu Yunqing guessed that the Lucky Tea in the city probably wouldn't kill anyone so quickly, but his luck would gradually worsen.
People like Guo Ming are special cases. The other party covets their luck and knows that they have no powerful backing, so they don't have to worry about being investigated even if they die.
Now that the result had been reached, Liu Yunqing and the others were unwilling to stay at the Guo family's house any longer.
Guo Ming's parents always tried every means to get these two people to come to Liu Yunqing and his family.
Although they were stopped in time each time, Liu Yunqing and his group still tried to avoid them.
When Guo Ming learned that they were leaving, he cooperated by not trying to stop them, but sincerely thanked them and saw them off from the Guo family home.
After leaving the Guo family, the five prepared to return to Biyue City, but after walking a few steps, they ran into Guo Yunmiao, who was waiting ahead.
Guo Yunmiao first bowed to the group, then looked at them hesitantly, as if he wanted to say something.
Liu Yunqing's eyes flickered slightly, guessing her intentions, and she still asked:
"Miss Guo, is there something you need from us?"
Guo Yunmiao was a straightforward person. Seeing Liu Yunqing ask, he stopped hesitating and answered directly:
"Senior, I want to ask, is there any hope for my fifth brother?"
Liu Yunqing saw genuine worry and heartache in her eyes, and unwilling to brush her off with pleasantries, she spoke frankly:
"I can't guarantee anything, but whether or not there's any hope for him, the damage from this incident is irreversible."
Guo Yunmiao's expression darkened, and her bright eyes instantly filled with tears, but she still managed to hold back her tears and thanked the others.
"Thank you for telling me the truth, senior. I'm sorry, Yunmiao has delayed your schedule."
After Guo Yunmiao finished speaking, he quietly stepped aside, clearing the way.
A string in Liu Yunqing's heart was stirred, and before leaving, he added one more thing:
“A family cannot prosper by relying on just one person. Besides, I think the younger generation in your family is quite good.”
Although this comforting remark failed to bring a smile to Guo Yunmiao's face, it clearly gave her some inspiration.
"I understand! Thank you, senior!"
