Is there anything we can help with?" Learning his son could be saved, Li Ming’s entire demeanor swept away the dejection; his eyes shone brightly with spirit. He could build his business to such a scale; his mind was naturally sharp. His previous confusion was merely due to being overwhelmed by his son’s situation. Now, bolstered by the Master’s assurance, after calming down, he could notice much more. Since the Master saw the crux of the matter but didn’t immediately act to resolve it, there must be some reservation, or perhaps some key element is missing. Sure enough, hearing his words, Yao Yao nodded her small head and said: "Yes, there is. This will trouble Uncle and Auntie to find the red envelope little brother brought back." This life-borrowing technique – the true spell medium was on the red envelope. And to break it, naturally, the red envelope needed to be found. "Find it! Quickly find it!" Li Ming immediately looked at his wife, his voice filled with anxiety. Qiu Meixia also knew this concerned her son’s life and didn’t dare delay at all. She immediately started searching the entire house, even calling the servants over during the process. Perhaps because this red envelope held special meaning for her son, he hadn’t thrown it away but had put it inside his little piggy bank. Finally, it was Qiu Meixia who had a flash of inspiration and found it. "Master, look, is it this one!" Yao Yao nodded. Even without taking it, she could already sense the bone-chilling yin energy of the curse technique upon it. This kind of life-borrowing technique went against the principles of Xuanmen Daoism. She particularly disliked the aura attached to it, so she could recognize it at a glance. Seeing the Master nod, Qiu Meixia’s face instantly flushed with excitement, because her child was saved! Yao Yao didn’t delay either. She could sense the little brother on the bed; his aura was growing weaker and weaker. If she dragged it out and his life essence couldn’t hold on, it would be trouble. She was seen forming a lotus hand seal, slowly tapping it onto the curse technique on the red envelope. Surging spiritual power directly crashed against it. This type of technique excelled in its strangeness; the actual difficulty of breaking it wasn’t high, especially with Yao Yao’s power far exceeding that of normal cultivators. The curse technique didn’t even last two breaths. The instant it was broken through, the medium connecting to Li Liang Liang also snapped instantly. The speed of his aging also abruptly stopped. After that, heaven and earth seemed to sense the abnormality here. After a moment of silence, there was suddenly movement. The originally stolen lifespan, like moths drawn to a flame, rushed into the body of the child on the bed, strand by strand. As this lifespan was restored, the small face, inappropriate for his age, gradually regained its rosy color. In almost the blink of an eye, he returned to the tender look a child should have. Seeing this scene, Qiu Meixia’s tears rolled down. Although the person hadn’t woken up yet, seeing this appearance, it was clearly what a normal person should look like. She repeatedly thanked Yao Yao. If she hadn’t been supported, she probably would have already knelt down. This beauty of regaining what was lost simply made one unable to hold back emotions. "Master, Liang Liang’s hair?" Li Ming was also overjoyed, then suddenly noticed his son’s temples were still streaked with white, and couldn’t help asking. "This cannot be changed back. Uncle will have to take little brother to dye it black!" "If possible, it’s best to get a physical check-up too!" Yao Yao shook her head, speaking frankly. After all, his fate number had been borrowed. Although the lifespan returned, there were always some lingering after-effects that couldn’t be reversed. "Okay, I’ll have the doctor come home for an examination later." Li Ming nodded. Even if the Master hadn’t said it, he would definitely have done so. Some things, only after personally checking, could one truly feel at ease. Yao Yao, seeing the matter resolved, was led by her father, preparing to go home. Just as they were halfway there, she suddenly thought of something, abruptly turned around, and said to Li Ming: "Uncle, don’t forget about cooperating with my daddy!" Her serious little face couldn’t help but make Gu Xuesong pause, then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Sometimes, picking up business deals relying on his daughter made him happier than successfully negotiating them himself. "Master, rest assured! I will definitely sign this contract!" Li Ming couldn’t help but laugh out loud either. Even if the Master hadn’t mentioned it, he couldn’t possibly forget. After all, she had saved the sole heir of their old Li family. And he also decided on this contract: he wouldn’t earn a single cent from the Gu family, just treat it as processing work for them. The profit he should have originally earned would be considered the Master’s reward. Watching the Master happily go downstairs after receiving the answer, Li Ming suddenly felt very envious that CEO Gu could have such a good daughter. If only he had one too. He was even secretly considering whether adopting from an orphanage was a reliable option. ... Meanwhile, in another location, in a simply furnished house, a sharp shriek suddenly echoed. A young woman in her twenties stared incredulously at the young man on the bed who had passed away. "How could this be? I clearly extended your life! Why did you still die?! This is impossible!" Madness filled the woman’s eyes. As if remembering something, she quickly ran into the small room, only to see the object enshrined on the altar table spontaneously burn into a pile of ashes without warning. For such a result to occur, it could only mean someone had broken her technique. "Damn it! Who could it be!" "This seat will definitely find you, then tear your corpse into ten thousand pieces!" She clenched her fists tightly at this moment, so forcefully that she didn’t even notice her fingernails digging into her flesh. If Qiu Meixia were here, she would recognize this woman at a glance – precisely her own son’s teacher. However, her current ferocious expression was like that of a completely different person compared to her gentle demeanor at school. Besides, what normal person would set up an offering table in their room? And her true identity was actually a Miao Borderland Gu Master wanted by the Xuanmen. The reason she applied to the school was simply because children were easy targets, and their life essence was abundant, convenient for her to steal to sustain her dying husband. This wasn’t the first time she had done this; there had never been an accident before. But this time, when she acted, she revealed a slight clue, resulting in being tracked down by the Xuanmen. In the ensuing fight, she was injured due to being outnumbered. Because her foundation was injured, this caused the Vital Gu she had placed on her husband to suffer a backlash. What should have been a slow, steady siphoning of fate number suddenly spiraled out of control, devouring it voraciously. This directly caused the afflicted person (Liang Liang) to become critically endangered, which then led to Yao Yao’s intervention. The entire process could be said to be a chain reaction. The Miao woman felt extremely unreconciled at this moment. You had to know, as long as her husband still had a breath left, he was still considered within the scope of the living, and she could still find ways to help him recover completely. But now, everything was gone. Even with her numerous methods, she no longer had the ability to resurrect her husband. More crucially, she still didn’t know who had interfered and ruined things. This frustration of being backstabbed was practically driving her mad. And just as she was boiling with rage, the Gu worms responsible for monitoring the house’s perimeter suddenly sent messages collectively. Her expression changed; she knew someone had come knocking at her door. She had always lived under an alias since coming to the capital; therefore, someone visiting was definitely not a good thing! Thus, her pupils suddenly turned pitch black. She activated a Substitute Gu, using it to borrow the Gu worm’s perspective to scout the enemy situation outside. With one glance, she instantly saw the appearance of the visitors – precisely the Xuan Masters who had pursued her before. Her expression changed. Although she didn’t know how they found her place... This place was definitely no longer safe. Because even at her peak, she couldn’t defeat these Daoist-method cultivators, let alone now, when her vital energy was far from recovered. Clashing head-on with them now, she would only be the one to suffer. A wise person adapts to circumstances. Thus, she rushed back into the bedroom, grabbed the Gu worms she raised. Immediately after, she collected her husband’s soul. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to take her husband’s physical body, but she knew it would be useless even if she did. Her husband’s allotted lifespan was already exhausted, destined never to return to life in his original body. Moreover, she was escaping now; carrying a physical body would make escape impossible. She viciously marked down a debt against the Xuanmen in her heart. Before fleeing, she also conveniently set fire to the house. She did this also fearing they might use it to find her. By the time the Xuanmen people reacted, they saw black smoke soaring into the sky! "Not good! There’s a fire! Quick, put out the fire!" This area consisted of interconnected Tongzilou buildings. Once a fire started, it would spread like wildfire; the neighbors would all suffer misfortune too! For a moment, the scene instantly descended into chaos. This blocked the path of the Xuan Masters who were preparing to go upstairs. By the time they finally squeezed through, they found the place already empty.
