Ch313 - Placed Under Gu

Edited by Zaki

The next day, Jiang Yuantu, Liu Mufeng, Jiang Xu, and Elder Zhu went to see Madam Ling together.

When they came to the front hall, City Lord Ling immediately asked the servant girl to deliver spiritual fruits, snacks and spiritual tea to greet everyone.

“Fellow Daoist Ling, invite Your Ladyship out. Elder Zhu, I, and Mufeng, the three of us together will attend to Your Ladyship’s medical treatment.” Looking at his friend, Jiang Yuantu explained.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jiang, someone, go and invite Madam over.” After speaking, City Lord Ling immediately ordered the servant girl to invite his wife.

“Yes, City Lord.” In response, the two little maids turned around and left.

Not long after, the Wife of the City Lord——Madam Zhang Feng, was brought over. Madam Zhang Feng and Ling Yunhe were about the same age, about 20,000 years old, but although Madam Zhang Feng’s strength was at the Spiritual Ancestor Realm, she had previously suffered the pain and grief of losing her son, and soul force trauma. Therefore, in appearance, she looked much more haggard than her husband Ling Yunhe.

When she walked into the front room, she saw many strangers sitting on the seats. At the beginning, Madam Zhang Feng acted very formal and looked completely scared. But when her eyes fell on Liu Mufeng, Madam Zhang Feng, who had been hiding behind Ling Yunhe, suddenly became bold.

“Feng’er, you’re back Feng’er.” Coming to Liu Mufeng, Madam Zhang Feng pulled up Liu Mufeng’s sleeve excitedly, and looked at Liu Mufeng happily.

“Madam Ling.” Standing up, Liu Mufeng bowed his head and saluted.

Hearing this, Madam Zhang Feng was stunned. Then she narrowed her eyes in dissatisfaction. “Feng’er, I am your Mother! Don’t you know me? Why don’t you call me Mother?” Madam Zhang Feng felt very wronged.

“I…” Hearing this, Liu Mufeng was speechless. So, did the other party recognize him as her Son?

“No, no, he’s not your Son.” Shaking his head, Jiang Xu hastily retorted.

At these words, Madam Zhang Feng looked at Jiang Xu. “Not my Son, could he be your Son? You can’t give birth to a Son this big, right?”

Jiang Xu was very embarrassed by Madam Zhang Feng’s words. “Mufeng is my partner, not my Son.”

“Partner? Are you my Daughter-in-Law? So fierce, huh?” After looking Jiang Xu up and down, Madam Zhang Feng shook her head repeatedly in a not-so-satisfied manner.

“I, I’m not your Daughter-in-Law.” Looking at the other party, Jiang Xu said helplessly.

“That’s for the best. I still like a gentle and virtuous Daughter-in-Law. Feng’er, can you find a gentle and virtuous Daughter-in-Law for your Mother?” Zhang Fengnian asked while pulling Liu Mufeng’s sleeve.

“En.” Responding lightly, Liu Mufeng grabbed the woman’s wrist and took the opportunity to feel her pulse.

“Feng’er, you haven’t been home for a long time. Mother missed you a lot. Your Father missed you too.” As she said, Madam Zhang Feng looked at her lover beside her.

“Aiya, what are you talking about? How can I still recognize my own Son wrong?” Madam Zhang Feng asked her husband in a dissatisfied manner.

“Yes.” Nodding, City Lord Ling smiled wryly, but did not refute anything.

“Feng’er, where have you been all these years? Mother was so worried about you?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Madam Zhang Feng asked.

“Oh, I went out to practice. I am now a disciple of the Lingwu Sect, and I have been studying with my Master in the Lingwu Sect.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng answered calmly.

“Study skills? Learn to be a craftsman? Didn’t you say that you are going to the Zunhuang Sect? Why did you go to the Lingwu Sect?” Madam Zhang Feng asked curiously.

“Oh, this child felt the Lingwu Sect was more suitable for me, so I went to the Lingwu Sect. Mother, this is my Master, Jiang Yuantu, the Third Elder of Lingwu Sect. He is very powerful, will you let him take your pulse?” Looking at the other party, Liu Mufeng asked with a smile.

“Take the pulse, why? I’m not sick or injured, why do I need my pulse checked?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Madam Zhang Feng asked, puzzled.

At that, everyone’s heads were covered with black lines.

“Of course, this child knows that you are not sick or injured. However, Father said he wanted a Little Sister for me, so he specially invited my Master to recuperate your body.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng replied calmly.

Madam Zhang Feng froze for a moment, turned her head to look at her partner beside her, and asked him with her eyes.

“Ah, yes, yes.” Nodding, City Lord Ling said yes.

Hearing this, Madam Zhang Feng looked awkward. “Yunhe, me, how old am I? You still want me to give birth? You even invited your Son’s Master to our home to check my pulse and recuperate my body. You are doing things more and more absurdah!”

“This, this…” Looking at his wife, City Lord Ling also looked helpless.

“Mother, let’s go and meet my Master.” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng directly supported Madam Zhang Feng to Jiang Yuantu’s side.

“Madam Ling.” Seeing Madam Zhang Feng walking over, Jiang Yuantu frowned. In fact, they knew each other before, and Jiang Yuantu lived in Ling Yunhe’s house for a while, but judging from the situation of the other party, she had obviously forgotten about him.

“You are Feng’er‘s Master, you look very familiar.” Madam Zhang Feng felt that the other party looked familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had met him.

“Madam Ling, please stretch out your hand.” Smiling, Jiang Yuantu said softly.

“Oh.” Nodding, although Madam Zhang Feng felt a little embarrassed, but for the sake of her Son, she still extended out her hand to let Jiang Yuantu check her pulse.

With the assistance of Liu Mufeng, Madam Zhang Feng obediently let both Jiang Yuantu and Elder Zhu take the pulse.

“Madam, I have something to talk to Feng’er, can you go back first?” Looking at his wife, City Lord Ling asked.

“No, Feng’erfinally returned home. I want to accompany Feng’erand not go anywhere.” Shaking her head, Madam Zhang Feng directly refused.

“Mom, I haven’t been home for a long time, and this Son wants to eat the dimsum you make.” Liu Mufeng said softly.

“Okay, Mother will do it for you, you wait.” After saying that, Madam Zhang Feng left happily.

Seeing that Madam Zhang Feng left, the two personal maidservants also left, for fear that Madam Zhang Feng would get burned in the kitchen and fall down.

After they left, City Lord Ling looked at Liu Mufeng gratefully. “Thank you, Nephew Liu, for your help.”

“City Lord Ling, no need to be polite.” Waving his hands, Liu Mufeng said indifferently.

“Judging from the pulse condition, it is indeed damage to the soul power. However, the pulse is not very clear. It is best to check Madam Ling’s sea of consciousness.” Speaking of this, Jiang Yuantu frowned.

“Yes, I also think it is necessary to take a closer look at Madam Ling’s sea of consciousness. After all, there are many types of damage to the soul power. It is difficult to know the cause of the disease, so it is difficult to use medicine.” Nodding, Elder Zhu agreed.

“But Madam Feng is delirious now. If the soul power of other cultivators invades her sea of consciousness, she will definitely reject it.” City Master Ling was a little anxious.

“Perhaps we can make Madam Ling fall asleep, and check her sea of consciousness while she is asleep.” After thinking about it, Liu Mufeng suggested an idea.

“However, Madam Feng is in the Spiritual Ancestor Realm. She usually practices and plays around at night. She doesn’t sleep.” Speaking of this, City Lord Ling was even more helpless.

“You can give her pills.” Having said that, Liu Mufeng looked at his Master.

“En, I can refine a Calming pill for her to take, and she will sleep peacefully after taking it. At that time, it will be easier for us to check her sea of consciousness.” Looking at City Lord Ling, Jiang Yuantu explained.

“Okay, then I’ll be grateful to Daoist Friend Jiang.” Nodding, City Master Ling agreed.

“City Lord Ling, other than damage to the soul force, does Madam have any other old illnesses?” Staring at City Lord Ling, Liu Mufeng suddenly asked.

“Old disease? No? Why does Nephew Liu ask that?” City Lord Ling was very puzzled.

“Oh, it’s nothing, just asking casually.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng replied.

Hearing Liu Mufeng say so, City Lord Ling didn’t care.

Back in the guest room, Jiang Yuantu and Liu Mufeng chatted together.

“Mufeng, did you find something?” Staring at his apprentice, Jiang Yuantu asked.

Liu Mufeng frowned and then placed a barrier and finally said, “Master, I think that the Wife of the City Lord has other illnesses besides the loss of soul power.”

“Oh? Are there any other injuries? Why didn’t I see them?”

“The disciple suspects that the City Lord’s Wife has been placed under aGu.” Speaking of this matter, Liu Mufeng’s face was very serious.

“Guworm?” Hearing this, Jiang Yuantu was shocked.

“Yes aGu, but this disciple can’t judge what kind ofGuworm it is. I just feel that there areGuworms in the other party’s body.” Liu Mufeng frowned deeply.

“Are you sure?” Jiang Yuantu asked seriously.

“I can be sure.GuArt is also a kind of witchcraft. I have read some books introducing witchcraft, so I also know some things aboutGuArt, but not much.”

“I want to talk to Fellow Daoist Ling about this.” Standing up, Jiang Yuantu wanted to leave immediately.

“Master, could it be…” Liu Mufeng hesitated to speak.

“No, it’s impossible. Ling Yunhe and his partner grew up together as childhood sweethearts. The relationship between husband and wife is very good. He won’t trick his partner.” Shaking his head, Jiang Yuantu didn’t think it was Ling Yunhe who did it.

“Even if it wasn’t City Lord Ling, it must have been done by someone close to the City Lord’s Wife. It’s very difficult for a stranger to enter the City Lord’s mansion and get close to the City Lord’s Wife.” Liu Mufeng frowned. Maybe it was because of some internal conflict.

Jiang Yuantu nodded. “En, I got it, don’t worry, I will only tell City Lord Ling, and I will not tell anyone else. In addition, I will say that it was me who saw it.”

“Alright then.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng agreed.
