Chapter Thirty-Seven: Same Fate, Same Mind Gu

  Xiao Yu's words "Absolutely won't make a move" had just left his mouth when the room suddenly fell silent, even Zhuo Lao Taigong, who was smiling, looked stunned for a moment.

  "Lao San, you can't cure it, just say you can't cure it, why do you have to say it like that?" Zhuo Siyan whispered anxiously, secretly tugging at Xiao Yu's clothes.

  Zhuo Hongxing and Zhuo Guangrong were shocked, if Xiao Yu was calm and composed in the hospital, then now Xiao Yu is a fool, a thorough and utter fool. If he can save Zhong Lao's life with his medical skills, with the power of the Zhong family in Huaxia, it would not be difficult for Xiao Yu to have a good social status, and even things that others cannot get after struggling their whole lives will be within his reach.

  But Xiao Ye didn't even try to save him, you just said you couldn't save him and that's it, why did you have to say you couldn't do anything? Luckily, Master Zhong is fine in the end, if something had happened, the Zhong family would have hated you to death. Thinking of this, they started worrying about Xiao Ye again.

  Zhong Jianguo and Zhong Tao were shocked by Xiao Yu's words. In Huaxia, apart from a few families, who dared to speak like this in front of him?

  "Kid, not making a move? I'll tell you, if anything happens to my grandfather, your whole family will have no place to stand in Huaxia!" Zhong Tao suddenly stood up and pointed at Xiao Ye, his face ferocious as he rebuked.

  Xiao Yu has since merged with Zhong Kui's memories, also inheriting his strong and unyielding personality, refusing to yield even in death. Although he didn't die like Zhong Kui by crashing into the Golden Hall, he couldn't tolerate being threatened by others, especially when it came to his mother and sister, who were his Achilles' heel.

  "What? Are you threatening me? I'll tell you, you're not qualified enough. Don't believe me? Try it then!" Xiao Yu said calmly with half-closed eyes, but a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

  Xiao You had never gone all out since he received the inheritance of Zhong Wei, if the Zhong family really dared to take action, he didn't mind letting the Zhong family know that the Tian Shi was not only able to exterminate ghosts but also kill people...

  Xiao Yu finished speaking, and Zhuo Lao Taigong's body hair stood on end, his heart skipped a beat, murderous intent? This feeling was too familiar, if he couldn't sense the murderous intent on the battlefield, he would have died a hundred times over. Thinking of this, Zhuo Lao Taigong looked at Xiao Yu with an incredulous expression.

  Xiao Yu's murderous intention flashed by, but was still sensed by the keen intuition of Zhuo Lao Taigong, who had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

  “Xiao……” Zhuo Hongxing was about to speak, but was stopped by Old Man Zhuo. Although they hadn't been in contact for long, Old Man Zhuo also knew that Xiao Yu was a very opinionated person. He wouldn't take action without a reason, and he also couldn't stand Clock Tao's threats. These people who had come from the war years were mostly from humble beginnings, and Old Man Zhuo had joined the army back then because he was oppressed by the powerful and wealthy. Seeing Clock Tao's attitude now reminded him of the evil landlords of the old society, and a fire of anger burned in his heart. If it weren't for the years of self-cultivation, perhaps he would have slapped Clock Tao in the face long ago.

  "Zhong Tao, shut up..." Zhong Lao, who had been silent all along, scolded Zhong Tao, who was shouting there. He looked at Xiao Ye with a calm face, as if the one who was ill was not him, but an unrelated person: "Xiao Ye, right? I'm older than you by several years, so I'll call you Little Xiao. Little Xiao, do we have a grudge?"

  "No grudges!" Xiao Yu shook his head.

  "Any complaints?"

  "No regrets!"

  "Since we have no grudges, I'd like to know why you won't make a move. Even if I die in the end, let me die with a clear conscience!" Zhong Lao said calmly, looking at Xiao Ye.

  "Dad (grandpa), nothing will happen to you..." Zhong Jianguo and Zhong Tao heard Old Zhong say this, and immediately said anxiously.

  Zhong Lao waved his hand to stop them from speaking and looked at Xiao Ye with an expressionless face.

  Xiao Ye's face was calm, without any expression, looking at Master Zhong and saying: "Since I decided to practice medicine, I set a rule for myself 'Those who are heartless and abandon their wives and children will not be treated'!"

  Xiao Yu's words left not only the Zhuo family stunned, but also the Zhong family. Even Old Master Zhuo and Old Master Zhong were both lost in thought, trying to come up with reasons why Xiao Yu wouldn't take action, but they never expected him to actually say "heartless and unrighteous, abandoning his wife and child".

  Old Master Zhuo was taken aback, then burst out laughing: "Xiao Xiao, Yuan Shan grew up under my watchful eye, I know every single hair on his head, he's absolutely not that kind of heartless and ungrateful person. As for saying he abandoned his wife and child, that's even more impossible!"

  "Impossible? Don't be ridiculous!"

  Xiao Yu looked at Zhong Lao after finishing speaking, then continued: "The Absolute Heart Gu, also known as the Same Fate Gu, is the only type of low-level Gu in the Miao tribe that can be separated from the body. Miao girls have always been faithful and devoted to love, once they fall in love with someone, they will never change for a lifetime. Therefore, when a Miao girl gives her heart to someone, she will plant a kind of Gu, the mother Gu is in the woman's body, and the son Gu is in the man's body. The man and woman share the same fate, because this Gu is attached to the heart, it is also called the Same Heart Gu."

  When Zhong Lao heard Xiao Yu say this, his heart surged with great waves. His lifelong love was a Miao girl, and he still remembered the night they fell in love. His beloved had once told him that "Miao girls are faithful, from beginning to end, so we will die on the same year, month, and day." As he thought about this, Zhong Lao's tears flowed uncontrollably.

  Everyone in the room saw the look on Master Zhong's face and knew that there was a story behind it, so they held their breath and listened quietly.

  Xiao Yu looked at Zhong Lao's complacent expression, a cold smile: "Hmph... Do you remember now? Judging from the maturity of the Gu in your body, it has probably been inside you for over 50 years. Seeing that you have a prosperous family with children and grandchildren, I suppose you've long forgotten about Miao Nu."

  Xiao Yu looked at Zhong Lao who was sitting there with tears streaming down his face and continued to ask, "Your heart hasn't had angina for over fifty years, has it?"

  Zhong Lao didn't say anything, tears streaming down his face as he shook his head.

  "This type of gu is called the 'absolute emotion gu' because it can control the life and death of the male. If a Miao woman's man betrays her, she can kill the gu in his body. If the mother gu dies, the child gu will also die. As the child gu dies, it will go crazy and bite wildly. One gu crazily biting wildly at a person's heart has only one consequence: death."

  Xiao Yu lowered his voice and said slowly.

  "There is another kind, the Miao woman deeply loves this man and does not want him to die, so she waits until her own death. The mother Gu also dies with her, because the Gu senses more keenly than humans, so before it dies, it seems to know its own death is approaching and begins to restlessly stir. And the child Gu feels the mother Gu's unrest and will also become frantic. Until the Miao woman's death, her man will also die with her!"

  Xiao Yu glanced at Zhong Lao with a slanted gaze and continued, "And you haven't had any incidents for over 50 years. It seems that Miao Nu's feelings for you are indeed deep and heavy. Now, I estimate that she is about to die, which has triggered the Mother Gu's agitation, so your heart is experiencing severe palpitations!"

  "But I have a way to kill the Gu in your body, you won't die, but the other person will. She's probably running out of time anyway, so why not let me help you get rid of the Gu? At most, she'll just die a few days earlier, and it won't be a waste of her life either." Xiang Ye said slowly to Zhong Lao.

  Everyone in the house felt extremely surprised, Xiao Yu had said that he would never take action, but now he wanted to help, however, a hint of joy appeared in Zhong Jianguo and Zhong Tao's eyes. Only Zhuo Lao Taizai saw a hint of mockery in Xiao Yu's eyes. Then Zhuo Lao Taizai also looked at Zhong Lao, he too wanted to see how Zhong Lao would choose.

  "Alright, hurry up!" Zhong Tao said hastily on the side.

  However, Xiao Yu didn't even glance at him and instead kept staring at Master Zhong.

  "No need, she has waited for me all her life, I cannot die and let her continue to wait! She has been nameless and without status waiting for me all her life, after death we must become a couple!!" Zhong Lao said with determination flashing in his eyes.

  "Dad......" "Grandpa......"

  Xiao Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and without asking, Xiao Yu knew that Zhong Lao must be a person of high power and authority. Yet he was willing to give up his position of power and choose to die together with the Miao girl, which made Xiao Yu feel that something was not quite right about this matter.

  "Far mountain, you've remained unmarried for so many years, causing your father to pass away with regret. It's all because of her, isn't it?" Old Master Zhuo said slowly as he looked at Clock Old.
