Chapter 97: Undoing the poison
"How could I not have thought of that? That wicked person was hiding here. The yin energy is so strong, it's a good place to hide."
The sky was overcast today, with a faint hint of rain. Several people dressed in black entered the cemetery.
She glanced at her clothes and decided it was too much trouble to go back and change. She decided to disappear inside.
I followed those people to the office hall, where there were several staff members, and even a young girl doing a live broadcast. She was really working her butt off.
They're probably doing a bad day doing live stream here because business is tough. After registering their information, those people went to pay respects to their loved ones!
Gu Yunxi sat down in the chair and observed the group of people. Their work uniforms were all black to match the occasion, and the young girl was also wearing a black dress.
Wearing a small white flower in her hair and light makeup, she greeted the people around her with a sweet voice.
One man was in front of a computer, seemingly handing over his shift to another man. As for the other two, one was cleaning, and the other was arranging things at the back of the hall.
The black line actually went to the back of the hall, and she followed it!
Unexpectedly, there were many staff members behind me, seemingly having a meeting. I followed the black line to the innermost room.
The door was covered with talismans, and black lines had burrowed into it, indicating that there must be a powerful person inside, the one who cast the curse.
She followed and crawled inside!
The man was also wearing work clothes and was burning incense in front of a small golden statue, worshipping none other than Yama, the King of Hell.
Despicable person!
The man placed the incense sticks in the incense burner, then turned around and looked left and right before finally fixing his gaze on Gu Yunxi.
"Who are you? Or what ghost are you hiding there? It's daylight now, aren't you afraid of being burned by the flames?"
Gu Yunxi appeared! The man looked at her with suspicion, "Oh, so you're one of us! A cultivator, and such a beautiful female cultivator at that, who even knows invisibility. That's quite interesting."
"Pah! Who's like you? You reek of filth and look like someone who practices some kind of evil cultivation. You look so lewd and disgusting. And you even know how to cast spells on others. Hand over the antidote now!"
"Oh, I finally understand. So it was the Gu family who contacted you."
It really was Gu Yan. I just don't know how she managed to hook up with this person. Most likely, she used her money.
"The poison is incurable, so give up on that idea."
The old man looked at her mockingly, "Little beauty, if you stay and cultivate with me, I might be able to find a way to release the Gu family."
Killing him directly would be too easy on him. Gu Yunxi opened the door and walked out.
The old man followed her out, so she took his advice to heart?
But why was she walking towards the cemetery? Could it be that she came here not only for Gu Jia? Did she have other relatives to pay respects to?
Those who cultivate themselves have always severed their emotions and desires in order to attain enlightenment.
It seems that's how it should be!
It's getting dark.
Hearing her words, the old man looked up. It was only a little before nine in the morning. On a normal day, the sun would be shining brightly. Why was he so dark?
But when he turned around, a terrifying scene unfolded: the entire cemetery was pitch black, and he couldn't even see the service hall behind him.
Even that liar girl has disappeared.
What methods did she use to trap herself here?
Suddenly!
Ghosts emerged from the tombstones on both sides. The old man gasped. This woman's cultivation was terrifying. Was she trying to scare him to death?
But she was wrong. These ghosts were all within her jurisdiction. They were terrified of her, so how could they dare to do anything drastic to her?
Unexpectedly, those ghosts, as if they didn't value their lives, surrounded him. He tried to use magic to freeze them, but it was as if his cultivation was imprisoned, and he couldn't move.
He let those ghosts lick his face or float around and scare him.
He saw a long-tongued ghost stick out its terrifying tongue and point it at his mouth. He couldn't bear it any longer and spat it out, startling the long-tongued ghost into retracting its tongue.
"Where is he? Come out here, and I promise to give you the antidote."
With a snap of her fingers, Gu Yunxi sent all the ghosts back behind her. "What, you're already scared after only a few minutes? When you were harming people, did you not think of this day? The ghosts here are all exploited by you. They appear in your dreams to their families, bringing you money and gifts. How can you be so shameless, you old hag?"
Unexpectedly, she learned so much information in such a short time.
"Here you go, come here!"
After saying that, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small white porcelain bottle. Gu Yunxi walked forward with a smile, and just as she was about to touch him, she struck him in the chest with her palm.
The old man stumbled backward, fell to the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood. The moment the porcelain bottle shattered, a small red worm was revealed inside, which Gu Yunxi immediately stomped on and killed.
"You're almost dead, and you still won't behave. Do you think I don't know that you're just someone else's puppet, learning crooked ways to cast spells on others and reap ill-gotten gains? You don't have the antidote at all."
"How...how did you know?"
"Because my cultivation is far superior to yours, and I am your great-aunt, the best way to resolve the curse is to kill the one who cast it. Now that you are about to die, do you have any last words?"
"Cough cough cough!" The old man spat out a mouthful of blood. "I underestimated you. If I had known you were in that house, I should have killed you."
"Rest in peace. Haven't you been praying to your brother Yama all this time? Go down and keep him company."
With a snap of her fingers, the sky brightened again, and the old man disappeared. Gu Yunxi remained invisible and left the cemetery!
At the same time, Gu Yunzhou also spat out a mouthful of blood. Liu Zheng looked closely and seemed to see some kind of worm wriggling, so she put the bottle cap on it!
"Boss, what do you think?" Liu Zheng asked, pressing the bottle cap against his hand as she looked at him.
Gu Yunzhou sat up straight. "I feel much better. My chest doesn't hurt anymore. Did I just throw up something?"
"Now that I've caught you here, let's not move and wait for Yunxi to come back to see what we should do?"
The boss has recovered, and Yunxi should have finished dealing with things over there.
Gu Yunxi reappeared before them and saw that her elder brother's face had regained its color; everything was settled.
"Brother, the matter of being poisoned by the Gu has been resolved, and your body has now fully recovered."
"Mom, give me this bug."
Liu Zheng nodded, and Gu Yunxi lifted the bottle cap, revealing a small insect wriggling inside.
She picked up a bottle and put it away, saying, "This little thing has its uses."
"Thank you, Yunxi. I used to be very resistant to superstitions, but I didn't expect I was too naive. I will definitely support my sister's career in the future. Is there anything you need to do? Don't worry about the school, I'll take care of it for you."
[Great! I never liked school anyway, now I can focus on my career.]
"Thank you, brother!"
The door to Gu Yan's bedroom on the second floor opened, and she walked down, her face pale, holding onto the handrail.
