Who knew.

Just as he uttered a single word, his body stiffened.

And then.

He felt a wave of nausea, and suddenly vomited a mouthful of disgusting maggots!

After that, there was no more sound…

"He, too, was cursed with a Gu, the 'Silence Gu'!"

Hong's eyebrows were tightly knotted.

"I know."

Qin Feng said.

"Showing off..."

Hong muttered softly to herself.

Even as a top ten expert on the Sky Dragon List, she hadn't noticed it, yet he claimed he knew? A so-called wise man playing the prophet!

What she didn't know was that Qin Feng, from the moment he started questioning Kong Yuan, had been watching him closely. He had detected the Gu poison and knew that if Kong Yuan spoke, he would die, so he only asked about the person who placed the Gu.

"What's our next move?"

Hong asked.

"You can go back to protecting my wife."

Qin Feng replied.

"What? But we're dealing with the Ghost Lady, shouldn't we be formulating a plan?"

Hong said.

"When I first saw that Gu Worm, I was quite worried, but after you mentioned the Ghost Lady, it seemed like no big deal, not worth too much concern. So let's just get on with our business!"

Qin Feng waved his hand indifferently.

"..."

Seeing this, Hong felt quite irritated.

The Ghost Lady's Gu Technique was exquisite, and even a top ten expert like herself could fall victim to it without careful attention, yet he thought it was trivial?

He's really full of himself!

"Hmph! When the Ghost Lady actually shows up, I'll see how you keep up your act!"

Hong said dejectedly.

...

In the past two days.

The preparations for Luo Hongyan's concert were ongoing, with a flurry of activity.

Qin Feng had also introduced Li Jie to Fang Wudi.

Fang Wudi's apparent identity was still that of a Taekwondo instructor, more than capable of teaching them, the uninitiated.

At the same time, Qin Feng had given Fang Wudi some further pointers to improve his martial arts skills.

Xu Yunxiao's work was progressing smoothly.

The first concert tickets had already started pre-selling, with numbers reaching a hundred thousand, and with over a month until the concert began, she believed the numbers would increase greatly under her planning, setting a national record for a concert!

Upon learning this, people like Xu Changjian and Xu Yaxin were all frowning with worry.

Especially Xu Changjian.

The Fruit Sprint incident not only embarrassed him greatly but also led his doting grandma to cast him into the "cold palace."

Fortunately, grandma always favored boys over girls, so the punishment was merely symbolic.

He was far from idle, however.

That day, Xu Changjian found Xu Yaxin and asked, "Are you still working at Yunxiao's company?"

"Yes!"

Xu Yaxin was also feeling quite troubled.

After Xu Changjian absorbed Xu Yunxiao's company, grandma pitied him and gave the management of her company to Xu Changjian. With Xu Changjian as the future Family Head of the Xu family, she didn't dare to offend him, so she kept complaining about Xu Yunxiao.

"That bitch, I can't stand the sight of her!"

Xu Yaxin said.

"Hehe, these last few days being locked at home, I've come up with a plan!" Xu Changjian said with a sly grin, pulling out a small potion bottle and whispering, "I bought this from the black market. It's very potent. Just one drop is enough to put Xu Yunxiao in the hospital for three months!"

"Brother Jian, you..."

"Don't worry, even if the dosage were increased, it would only cause more stomach pain, no risk of death."

Xu Changjian continued, "Just think, if she can't go to work for three months, the deal with Haohan Company can't be left leaderless. Grandma will surely ask me to step in temporarily, and Haohan will have no choice because Xu Yunxiao is sick, and it's a legitimate reason!"

"I understand now!"

Xu Yaxin's eyes lit up, saying, "Three months, that's plenty of time for you to make the company your own!"

"Exactly, that's what I mean, hehe..."

Xu Changjian chuckled slyly.

Shuimu Company.

Xu Yaxin brought a bottle of potion to the company and stealthily dropped a droplet into the water cup.

But she felt it wasn't satisfying enough.

So, she poured all the potion from the bottle into the water cup, muttering, "Hmph! Serves you right to suffer!"

Then.

She held the water cup and headed to Xu Yunxiao's office, approaching with an obsequious smile, "Yunxiao, here, you look so tired. Drink more water, relax a bit."

"Yaxin sister?"

Xu Yunxiao was puzzled.

She knew Xu Yaxin didn't look favorably upon her on normal days, so why the sudden warmth?

"Yunxiao, I really owe you an apology for targeting you in the past. So, I came specifically to say sorry. We're all family, after all. We should be helping each other, not deceiving and undermining, right?"

Xu Yaxin said with a sincere face.

"Right!"

Xu Yunxiao nodded emphatically after hearing this, deeply touched.

That's what she always considered as familial affection.

Uniting together, helping each other, supporting each other, a harmonious family.

That she had realized this was wonderful!

"Alright, the water's getting cold, hurry up and drink!"

Xu Yaxin said caringly.

"Thank you, Yaxin sister, we'll definitely get along well in the future!"

Moved, Xu Yunxiao picked up the cup and drank it all in one go.

Beside her, Xu Yaxin watched her throat move, a triumphant and sinister smirk flickering in her eyes...

In the evening.

Qin Feng found an excuse to say he was working overtime, to meet Feng Guoqiang and to visit the real estate he referred to as "Ghost Evil".

Because tonight was the first day of the lunar month, the new moon.

The absence of the moon made the evil qi stronger at the real estate, a perfect time for investigation.

Soon.

Qin Feng arrived at the agreed location, a temporary office in front of the building complex.

Besides Feng Guoqiang, there was also a fat Taoist dressed in a yellow Daoist robe, holding a peach wood sword, and sporting a small tuft of beard.

"Let me introduce you. This is Huang Dalang, Master Huang, whom I've invited from Cangyun Mountain!" Thelatestchaptersareuploadedfirston*.

Feng Guoqiang said.

Huang Dalang had been hired by him with a hefty sum even before seeking Qin Feng. After arriving here, he was treated by Feng Guoqiang to a five-star hotel luxury suite, where he lay in bed for three days without getting up, took some patent medicine to recuperate his kidneys before he started feeling better.

"This is Mr. Qin, a Feng Shui Master."

Feng Guoqiang introduced.

In public, he never called Qin Feng 'Master' as per Qin Feng's preference, hence he was referred to as a Feng Shui Master.

"Feng Shui?"

Huang Dalang glanced at Qin Feng indifferently, sneering, "In my opinion, this building complex must be harboring some unclean things. What does it have to do with Feng Shui!"

Qin Feng then smiled and said, "Why did you hire such a fake Taoist?"

"This..."

Feng Guoqiang also felt awkward, caught between his master and the expensive Taoist he had hired, not wanting to offend either.

Huang Dalang, hearing Qin Feng mock him as a fake Taoist, became displeased in an instant, slapped the table, and said, "You wet behind the ears lad, dare to belittle me? Hmph, do you know about Dragon and Tiger Village? I am from Dragon and Tiger Village!"

"No way?"

Qin Feng almost tripped over his feet.

People from Dragon and Tiger Village might not be the most cultured, but they surely wouldn't have such a sham!

"Hahaha..."

Huang Dalang thought Qin Feng was scared, laughing proudly, "It seems you're not too shabby, huh. Usual folks don't know what Dragon and Tiger Village is all about. At least you've heard of it. Not bad, not bad…"

"Cough cough, I grew up in Dragon and Tiger Village, how come I've never seen you?"

Qin Feng said with embarrassment.
