“…That’s about it.”
With Baozhu's help, Zuo Shaohua successfully met Shi Miao and told him everything about the Jie Gou and the Zuo family's refining of the dragon vein.
He thought he would see contempt, anger or something like that on Shi Miao's face, but was surprised to see that Shi Miao looked so calm.
"I see."
Zuo Shaohua suddenly had an epiphany: Could it be that Shi Miao already knew about what the Zuo family had done?
His voice was hoarse. "You don't look surprised at all."
Shi Miao glanced at him, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Then I'm still a little surprised. I'm surprised that you would kill your relatives for the sake of justice."
It seems that Zuo Shaohua is not hopeless and can still be saved.
"Don't worry, what you worry about will not happen."
"That's good." Zuo Shaohua hesitated for a moment and asked, "What will become of my grandfather?"
What else could he possibly do? Once the dragon vein left his body, he would become a complete cripple. He'd even cleverly transferred Baozhu's fate, thinking he could enjoy its benefits, only to have his granddaughter, Zuo Baozhu, bear the brunt of the consequences.
He was dreaming, and the backlash would of course be caused by himself.
However, Zuo Shaohua clearly still had feelings for his family, so she decided not to tell him the truth and make him sad, lest he be upset and exposed himself in his emotional state. Given Zuo Haoran's personality, even if Zuo Shaohua was his favored successor and blocked his path, he would still be ruthlessly eliminated.
So Shi Miao told a white lie, "He refined the dragon vein into himself, so I can no longer see his fate."
"As for Baozhu, she was so seriously ill some time ago, it seems like a backlash. Baozhu's identity is not ordinary, right?"
Zuo Shaohua's eyes widened, his expression a bit bewildered, "Baozhu can't even practice?"
The rest of the family had their opinions on Baozhu's favor, but they were all suppressed by Grandpa. From what Shi Miao said, was there something else going on with Baozhu's physique?
Shi Miao said calmly, "Refining dragon veins with a human body is against the laws of nature and will inevitably backfire. However, this backlash didn't fall on your grandfather, but on Baozhu instead. She fell ill some time ago because of this, and the nectar I gave her back then was to resolve this karma."
Zuo Shaohua was petrified by Shi Miao's revelation. After several minutes, he revealed a bitter expression, "I see."
No wonder Grandpa always doted on Baozhu so much. Even though Baozhu couldn't cultivate, her status in the Zuo family remained exceptional. It turned out that from the very beginning, this love had a price tag.
"Thank you. If it weren't for you, Baozhu might not even have survived." Zuo Shaohua's parents died young, and he and his sister Baozhu depended on each other for survival. The rest of the family treated him well, more or less because of his talent. Only his sister treated him well simply because he was her brother. The bond between the siblings was truly profound.
Zuo Shaohua's last bit of hesitation was completely dispelled.
…
Meanwhile, Zuo Haoran pretended to speak to Minister Geng, "I suddenly woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night last night. I dreamed of a plague ravaging S City, with countless casualties."
"As you know, dreams from metaphysical masters shouldn't be ignored. I'm not very good at divination, so I borrowed a tortoise shell from a friend and did some divination. Sure enough, within a week, a major plague will break out in the southern district of S City. This plague will spread from the southern district to the entire city, and then spread to the entire country."
Zuo Haoran spoke with such conviction that Minister Geng's heart was in a knot. He said with a serious expression, "I understand."
Zuo Haoran sighed, "I hope my nightmare won't become reality."
He had originally considered whether he should let Shi Miao vomit blood while studying, but he was worried that internal injuries would affect his own practice, so he finally couldn't bear to do it.
After Zuo Haoran finished speaking, he left, but he did not forget to send someone to follow Minister Geng.
Sure enough, he soon saw Shi Miao being invited over.
Zuo Haoran looked indifferent. He knew that Minister Geng trusted Shi Miao more than him. But facing the legendary Jie Gou, Shi Miao was probably helpless.
To his surprise, he saw no further action from the government after that.
Zuo Haoran was puzzled. Why didn't they take this matter seriously at all? Weren't they afraid that the nightmare he was talking about would come true?
In order to teach Shi Miao a lesson, the Furui Group has planned to spread the virus from the street where the Wen family lives, making Shi Miao's relatives the first wave of victims.
What he didn't know was that Minister Geng had indeed invited Shi Miao over, but the result Shi Miao predicted for them was that they would suffer the consequences.
After hearing that the other party would suffer the consequences of their own actions, Minister Geng suddenly felt no more back pain or leg soreness, and he felt stronger when walking.
Shi Miao also calculated a wave of addresses for him. "Although there are no accidents on our side, the other party has also exposed some of the nails. We can dig out more along this line."
Speaking of which, since the nails in S City have been almost removed, the other party had to transfer manpower from other cities this time.
Shi Miao was not worried at all about the hook virus.
After all, the other party had underestimated Jie Gou. Their lab was able to synthesize that so-called virus only because of Jie Gou's deliberate cooperation, not because they had drawn Jie Gou's blood. The plague Jie Gou brought wasn't in his flesh and blood, but a simple curse. It could be given, and it could also be taken back immediately.
On February 14, the nails from the Furui Group brought the virus to Wen Ying's neighbors, the Shen family, on time, preparing to use the Shen family as a source of infection.
