Chapter 13: Unbearable itchiness!
“What, it’s really related to Zhou Yi? Brother-in-law, you’re not kidding me, right!”
Originally, Gu Qingheng just wanted Gu Yu to guard against Zhou Yi, but he didn’t expect to hear such words.
This immediately made him widen his eyes, not knowing what the current situation was.
His crow’s… spit, his spiritual mouth is too amazing!
Whatever he says comes true!
“Why would I tease you? I have a basis for my speculation!”
“What is it, brother-in-law? Stop keeping me in suspense, I’m dying of itchiness!”
After Gu Yu heard Gu Qingheng’s words, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes, indicating that he was not lying for fun.
What he said was true.
These resentful worms were indeed all related to Zhou Yi.
“Tsk tsk, seeing you like this, I don’t even want to say anything!”
However, Gu Yu didn’t want to tell Gu Qingheng so easily, so he opened his mouth with a smile at this moment, making Gu Qingheng anxious to pace back and forth in the carriage.
But the carriage was narrow, and clearly did not support pacing.
Gu Qingheng was truly impressed with his brother-in-law.
He was smart and, with a little clue, could deduce most of it… and, crucially, everything was always right in the end.
However, his personality was also very wicked.
Just like now, he insisted on whetting his appetite… How Zhou Yi got connected to the resentful worms made Gu Qingheng truly curious!
“Brother-in-law, stop keeping me in suspense, hurry up and tell me.”
After Gu Qingheng pestered him for a long time, Gu Yu finally opened his mouth with satisfaction, preparing to reveal the information he had speculated.
If Gu Yu hadn’t been somewhat confident in his guess, he wouldn’t have said it at this time.
However, he hadn’t met the person in question yet, so he didn’t know how accurate his guess was.
Fortunately, the person he was about to talk about was his younger brother-in-law, so even if he said something wrong, it wouldn’t be a big deal.
“It’s not that Zhou Yi created these resentful worms, but people close to him… Zhou Yi can talk about the power of resentful worms, which is not normal… Look, Gege doesn’t know anything. As someone who dislikes Gu techniques, why does Zhou Yi know? It’s because his master is very powerful and is a strong Gu master from the Southern Border…”
“Hey, wait, didn’t Zhou Yi say he learned Gu techniques from books? That doesn’t mean his master is a powerful Gu master! What if it’s family heirloom books or something!”
However, when Gu Yu had just finished speaking, Gu Qingheng immediately interrupted him.
It wasn’t that Gu Qingheng was being stubborn, but there was a large loophole in his statement.
If this point wasn’t clarified, they couldn’t proceed at all.
When Gu Yu heard this, he didn’t get angry. Instead, he nodded in agreement, thinking that his brother-in-law’s logical thinking was quite good, and he could point out the problems in his words.
Unfortunately, Gu Qingheng was still too young.
“There is indeed the possibility you mentioned, but have you noticed the intensely respectful expression on Zhou Yi’s face when he talks about his master, especially when discussing Gu techniques?”
“But even so, you can’t conclude that Zhou Yi’s master is a powerful Gu master!”
“I haven’t finished yet! Besides this, there’s also when discussing the mysterious Gu worms, Zhou Yi believes his master definitely knows… If that’s not enough, those thousand-year ice silkworms are also important evidence.”
Gu Yu leaned against the carriage and spoke, while Gu Qingheng, sitting beside him, listened intently.
However, the more he listened, the more confused he became.
Now, it had even involved thousand-year ice silkworms.
Gu Qingheng was aware of some things about the thousand-year ice silkworms Gu Yu had recently obtained, knowing that these treasures came from Zhou Yi’s master.
So, how could thousand-year ice silkworms prove that Zhou Yi’s master was a powerful Gu master?
“There’s something you don’t know. Among the Gu raisers in the Southern Border, thousand-year ice silkworms are food for powerful Gu worms! And I have more than fifty thousand-year ice silkworms, even more than I got last time I went to the Tianshan Sect… If Zhou Yi’s master doesn’t raise Gu, why would he have so many thousand-year ice silkworms? To sell?”
Gu Yu finished in one breath with a smile. He had been very interested in Lin Qianshan for a long time.
Not only did he want to get some more treasures, but he was also very curious about what kind of person Lin Qianshan was.
After all, raising thousand-year ice silkworms was not simple.
Thousand-year ice silkworms, just the name sounds very cool, but it doesn’t mean that these silkworms can live for thousands of years, it’s just that the lifespan of the silkworms is different from ordinary creatures.
Gu Yu wasn’t entirely sure of the specific ratio.
However, what was certain was that… these thousand-year ice silkworms were at least a hundred years old.
As the saying goes, a thousand-year turtle and a ten-thousand-year tortoise, ice silkworms living for so many years has already surpassed normal cognition.
Therefore, Lin Qianshan, who could possess so many thousand-year ice silkworms, was not a simple person.
Now that he had encountered these resentful worms in the Southern Border, Gu Yu’s first suspicion was that Lin Qianshan was behind it.
Although the Southern Border was vast, and it was possible that other evil Gu masters did it, Zhou Yi’s ability to explain the behavior of the resentful worms in detail was conclusive evidence for Gu Yu.
Zhou Yi had said more than once or twice that he didn’t like Gu techniques.
And how could a person who disliked Gu techniques clearly describe the specifics of the resentful worms after seeing them?
Obviously, it was because there were books introducing the resentful worms, and Zhou Yi had seen them more than once.
And this situation was because Lin Qianshan always carried this book, which caused Zhou Yi to see it frequently.
Therefore, he could remember it so vividly.
If this line of reasoning continued, it was very likely that Lin Qianshan had planned this long ago and was only implementing it now.
As for why it was now…
That would have to be asked of Lin Qianshan himself, or it was related to the group of mysterious people who entered the Southern Border, and it was also related to the most powerful mysterious Gu worms in the Southern Border.
In short, the changes in the Southern Border were not small, which made Gu Yu want to turn back.
But thinking of his stubborn little wife, she definitely wouldn’t agree to retreat.
Therefore, he could only continue to move forward.
He only hoped that Lin Qianshan wouldn’t make too big a move, otherwise, don’t blame him, Gu Yu, for being ruthless.
“According to what you said, brother-in-law, it’s really possible! But how did Zhou Yi’s master get involved with the resentful worms? Does he want to obtain the mysterious Gu worms of the Southern Border?”
“You could say that, but because there’s no evidence for any further speculation, I can’t tell you much… But you can use your smart little brain to keep inferring all sorts of possibilities.”
Afterwards, listening to Gu Qingheng’s words, Gu Yu couldn’t help but smile slightly.
Then, after telling Gu Qingheng to use his own brain to think, he didn’t say anything more, but leaned against the carriage to rest his eyes.
This made Gu Qingheng pout in frustration, knowing that his brother-in-law was playing coy again.
However, just through these clues, he could infer a lot of information. His brother-in-law was truly amazing!!!
