CHAPTER 1050: 1127: BOTH HIS SLAVE AND HIS WIFE.

Elder Sun patted Uncle Jiang on the shoulder and then said with a complex expression, "Old Jiang, old Jiang, you are really lucky!"

Yi Ran frowned. He disliked poisons, feeling those insects were too ugly, and besides, his master had once told him that too much greed would lead to nothing good. As a result, he had practiced witchcraft all this time but had never delved into the Gu Art, and his understanding of it was only superficial. If it was only ordinary Gu, by familiarization, he could find a solution, but if it were more difficult, he wouldn’t be able to.

He looked at Elder Sun, "Is it true? How is Uncle Jiang’s health?"

Elder Sun cursed, "Put your mind at ease, will you. Old Jiang has had this Gu for over ten years, and it has attacked him eight times. If the Mind-Bewitching Gu attacks ten times, it’s certain death. Just now, I felt his pulse, and it’s almost the same as when he first got the Gu, so he can at least accompany you for another decade or so."

"Ah—!!?"

Yi Ran was stunned. Then, he suddenly looked towards the room on the west side.

Uncle Jiang was very excited inside, but his face remained calm. Instead, he looked at Elder Sun, "Then... Xiuxiu, she..."

When Uncle Jiang mentioned "Xiuxiu," Elder Sun’s face was covered with sadness. "Her life isn’t as good as yours. Even after ten attacks, I used all my skills and could only keep her from dying." But ultimately, it was futile. In recent years, the Innocence Sect was in turmoil, with factions competing. He was direct and offended too many enemies, then those old scoundrels worked together to force him out of the Witch Gu Clan, under the guise of deployment, sending him to guard in Dayuan.

But, in reality, everyone knew what was going on.

However, he was tired of the infighting within the clan back then, and he just went along with it. He had no interest in power, and he didn’t persist or resist because he was isolated and also feared that staying there, someone would target his weakness.

Weakness...

Elder Sun turned and looked inside. Back then, like Uncle Jiang, Xiuxiu was also a Gu Slave, implanted with the Mind-Bewitching Gu to ensure loyalty.

Xiuxiu accompanied him for most of his life, both as his slave and as his wife.

After dinner, Dong Huiying and Shu Yu continued flipping through the books. Once she immersed herself in something, she wouldn’t get distracted, but as she flipped through the book, she suddenly felt a chill?

It was like someone was staring at her!

She turned her head suddenly, only to see Shu Yu in a standoff with Elder Sun.

Shu Yu had her back to her, while Elder Sun’s gaze was looking past Shu Yu’s shoulder towards her side.

Dong Huiying: "..."

What’s going on here? Well, she was indeed a bit anxious.

"Elder, no matter how much you look, it’s no use! My lord already has a husband, six in total, all talented and handsome too, and young!" Shu Yu’s caustic tongue made an appearance again, indirectly insulting, hitting where it hurts. It was just short of saying, you old coot, you’re old and ugly, not attractive, stop staring at my lord.

Because no matter how long you look, with our six brothers like Mei Yu ahead, even if my lord were blind, they’d never look at an old man like you!

Elder Sun was very calm, completely ignoring Shu Yu. Instead, he looked at Dong Huiying and asked, "You two young friends are here to borrow ancient texts; are you troubled, perhaps related to witchcraft?"
