Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2093: Old Shopkeeper

Long Rui and Xuexue exchanged a glance, it seemed they had really found the right person; this Shopkeeper seemed to truly understand Gu insects.

Xuexue asked with a smile, "Shopkeeper, from the tone of your voice, it seems you understand Gu insects quite well."

The Shopkeeper looked up and glanced at Xuexue, saying, "I know a thing or two."

Upon hearing this, Xuexue was quite pleased, "Old sir, may I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead."

"If a person has many, many Gu insects in their body, can this person still be saved?"

"Many Gu insects?"

"Yes."

The Shopkeeper laughed and set aside the pen in his hand, saying, "It seems the young lady doesn’t understand this business!"

Xuexue was taken aback for a moment, "What makes you say that?"

The Shopkeeper explained patiently, "Those who understand Gu insects know that as long as a small Gu insect is placed into a person’s body, a large number of Gu insects will quickly appear within; that’s the power of Gu insects. They live by eating blood and reproduce very quickly. Because these insects carry poison, the person with the Gu becomes very dangerous, and eventually, most will have their whole body rot away and die."

"Is there really no cure?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"There is, the simplest and most direct method is to find the person who cast the Gu; as the saying goes, only the one who tied the bell can untie it."

"If the person who cast the Gu refuses to remove the poison, is there no other way?"

"There is." At this, the Old Shopkeeper looked at Xuexue meaningfully and asked, "Young lady, if there’s any difficulty, feel free to speak out. If I can help, I surely will not stand by idly."

At the crucial moment, the Old Shopkeeper paused, and Xuexue became anxious, asking, "Shopkeeper, what exactly is the method to solve the Gu?"

The Old Shopkeeper glanced at her and shook his head, saying, "Even if I tell you, you wouldn’t understand, it requires a ritual."

In the space, a dozen Insect Persons were waiting to be saved!

Xuexue, in a burst of determination, said, "Shopkeeper, my younger sister is infested with Gu. She’s outside, why don’t I bring her in for you to see?"

Hearing this, the Old Shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, saying, "Young lady, didn’t you just say no one was infested with Gu?"

"We were just being cautious in case we encounter bad people, hehe...!" Xuexue said with a forced smile.

The Old Shopkeeper, having been through many storms himself, nodded in understanding, "Alright, bring her in and I’ll take a look, but, I have to say upfront, I can’t guarantee I can save her. We should first look at the situation since solving Gu is a serious matter with no margin for error."

Long Rui reached out and grabbed Xuexue, who was about to dash out, "Wife."

Xuexue gave him a calming look and said, "Big Bull, you wait here for a moment, I’ll be right back."

After saying this, she dashed outside.

Long Rui knew very well that the Insect Persons were in the space; when Xuexue ran out, she must find a secluded spot to bring one out.

Thus, he had to patiently wait in the shop for Xuexue’s return.

After about half a cup of tea’s time, Xuexue returned holding a baby. As soon as she entered, she shouted, "Old sir, come quickly and see if there’s any hope for this little kid?"

The Shopkeeper set down his pen and walked over to inspect. At just a glance, his expression changed drastically, muttering to himself, "Why does this look so much like Junior Brother Zhao’s handiwork?"

Upon hearing this, Xuexue and Long Rui exchanged a glance, inwardly alarmed. If this old man was in league with Zhao Yin, hadn’t they just walked into a trap?

Afraid of falling into a den of wolves, Xuexue immediately stood up with the Insect Person and said, "Forget it, old sir, we won’t look anymore."

Suddenly, the Old Shopkeeper shouted, "Sit down!"
