Chapter 145 Love Gu
If Yun Fuzhao hadn't known it was impossible, she would have suspected that she had been possessed. How could someone become like this in such a short time?
They have completely different personalities.
Xie Wan was stunned. "What do you mean? Of course I am Xie Wan. Who else could I be?"
Yun Fuzhao: "What did you put in this cup?"
A flicker of panic crossed Xie Wan's eyes. "What nonsense are you talking about? Yun Fuzhao, I've noticed something's off about you today."
Yun Fuzhao stretched a small vine into the porcelain cup, and the originally emerald green leaves withered in the blink of an eye.
Xie Wan stared blankly, as if trapped in a vortex of self-doubt, repeatedly saying, "How could this be, how could this be..."
Grasping her wrist, Yun Fuzhao said coldly, "Xie Wan, look at me. Do you remember what you once said to me?"
You said you wanted to attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven to see the scenery of the upper realm. Romantic relationships are merely a burden to you; your heart is solely focused on the Dao. How could you fall for Wen Yan, whom you've only met a few times?
Xie Wan clutched her head, her expression pained, her eyes filled with struggle. "Yun Fuzhao, these past few days Wen Yan has been telling me that you took things from him, causing him great pain. I wanted to share his burden, so..."
Xie Wan had no idea how she had done such a thing; it was as if her brain had been manipulated.
Yun Fuzhao was dumbfounded. Wen Yan, that bastard, actually dared to scheme against her like this.
[Yun Family Team 2, Hong Ziqing: This situation might be due to being poisoned by a love curse. There was a time when a disciple of the Hehuan Sect tried to trick cultivators of the Heartless Path into dual cultivation using such despicable methods.]
Yun Fuzhao immediately knew that Xie Wan's reaction was most likely due to the love potion.
Yun Fuzhao: [Senior, do you know how to cure this love potion?]
[Yun Family Team 2, Hong Ziqing: It's simple. There are two methods. One is to kill the mother Gu, and the offspring Gu will die. The other is to remove the Gu worms from her body. Gu techniques have become secret arts in the cultivation world in recent years. The person who placed the Gu on her may not be Wen Yan. Finding the mother Gu will be difficult.]
Yun Fuzhao: [What about the second one?]
[Yun Family Team 2, Hong Ziqing: The second type is even more difficult than the first. The Gu worm has already burrowed into the flesh and blood; removing it is as difficult as climbing to the heavens. As far as I know, many of those afflicted by the Love Gu only managed to break free of its control by killing the mother Gu.]
Yun Fuzhao was in a dilemma. She suspected that Wen Yan was responsible, but she had no evidence and could not directly interrogate him, as he would certainly not admit it.
As for the second option...
These kinds of Gu worms are not something that can be brought to the table. I've never heard of anyone around Yun Fuzhao who knows how to use them... No, Yu Ze does know how, but he seems to be just someone who knows how to use Gu.
[Yun Family Team 4, by Ziqian: In the cultivation world, there is a divine physician named Liansheng. His medical skills are superb; he can even bring the dead back to life. A mere love potion should be no problem for him.]
[Has Lian Sheng not ascended yet after all this time?]
[He Yu, 3rd Guard of the Yun Family: No. He cares deeply for the world and only wants to practice medicine to help the needy. Ascension is meaningless to him. The people he wants to help are all in the lower realm.]
She sounds like a very nice person. If we can find her, we should be able to remove Xie Wan's Gu worm.
Yun Fuzhao pressed Xie Wan's shoulder, and taking advantage of her brief moment of regaining her senses, he immediately said, "Xie Wan, you've most likely been poisoned by a love potion. I heard that Wen Yan once saved your life at Heshan Temple. Think carefully, did he do something to you back then?"
Xie Wan thought about it carefully, but before long, the clarity in her eyes was replaced by love. Xie Wan smiled and said, "What are you talking about? How could Wen Yan do anything to me? He's very good to me."
"..."
Yun Fuzhao inexplicably hallucinated her love-struck best friend, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart.
She just hoped that the normal Xie Wan would come back soon.
[Hong Ziqing rewarded 1 Grade 7 Tranquilizing Pill]
[Yun Family Team 3, Hong Ziqing: Give her this first; it will temporarily suppress the Gu worms' effects on her. Your sect is having a celebration during this time, so don't let her cause any trouble.]
Yun Fuzhao nodded and, amidst Xie Wan's puzzled expression, stuffed the pill into her mouth.
She didn't even have a chance to resist before the pill was swallowed.
Xie Wan blinked, suddenly feeling her restless heart calm down. "I heard what you just said. That's strange."
She held out her hand, saying, "I was just a bystander, watching myself say such stupid things."
Yun Fuzhao breathed a sigh of relief; it was better to see Xie Wan as normal. "Regarding the love potion, pretend for now and see what the person who put the potion on you really wants."
"Okay." Xie Wan paused, lowered her head, and looked at him with remorse. "I'm sorry, I never thought I would actually do this to you..."
“It wasn’t your intention.” Yun Fuzhao pondered, “Perhaps you could try talking to Lingyue Sect about this. After all, you are a direct disciple.”
“Actually,” Xie Wan sighed, “my master and I were both implicated in the last sect competition, so I don’t have much of a say right now.”
Yun Fuzhao didn't need to guess; it was because Xie Wan spoke up for her during that grand competition. Don't be fooled by how these major sects usually fight and compete; when it comes to their own interests, they immediately band together.
She didn't want to comment.
We can only wait and see if we have time to look for that so-called miracle doctor after the celebration.
The sect's celebration is fast approaching.
Yun Fuzhao went to great lengths for this celebration. He spent a considerable amount of spirit stones just on decorating the sect.
The cultivation world says that the Boundless Sword Sect is no good, but today we'll show them the true strength of the sect.
The first group to arrive was the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
The one leading the group was an old acquaintance, Qiu Su.
Fang Wenxia went home a few days ago, and today she came over with Qiu Su.
The disciples of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts rode on the back of a seventh-grade Crimson Flame White Tiger spirit beast, slowly making their way towards the Boundless Sword Sect.
Many of them were visiting the Boundless Sword Sect for the first time, and their only impression of it was that it was a "minor sect with no merit".
"Last time my senior brothers came to the Boundless Sword Sect, they went back and cursed their sect, saying they were stingy and that their lodgings were small and dilapidated, not even as good as the lodgings of our spirit beasts."
He was referring to the celebration banquet that Meng Ci'er hosted for Yu Nian'er.
Back then, the Boundless Sword Sect wasn't wealthy. Meng Ci'er had embezzled most of the sect's spirit stones, and some of those were spent on Yu Nian'er. Very few spirit stones were left for sect construction.
As a result, over the years, the buildings of the Boundless Sword Sect have become old and dilapidated. To put it nicely, it's nostalgia; to put it bluntly, it's stinginess.
"Huh? Really? We went through all this trouble to come here only to suffer?"
"Senior Sister Fang, aren't you a disciple of the Boundless Sword Sect? You know best about your sect's conditions. Are they really as they say?"
Fang Wenxia paused for a moment, unsure of what to say. She wasn't particular about the environment; as long as she could live there, it was fine.
But in a closer look, the conditions of the Boundless Sword Sect are indeed inferior to those of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
