Chapter 67: What do you want?
After the troublemakers were gone, Gu Yu and Mengyao left the Bronze Gate with ease and took Zhou Yi out of the cave.
Since Gu Yu wanted to obtain Lin Qianshan’s inheritance, he needed a guide.
Zhou Yi was an excellent candidate.
However, Gu Yu did not give Zhou Yi the antidote directly. Instead, he wanted to take advantage of Zhou Yi’s temporarily mentally deficient state to ransack Lin Qianshan’s residence several times to see what good stuff there was.
However, Gu Yu’s plan did not go smoothly and made him somewhat conflicted.
This was because Zhou Yi could not find Lin Qianshan’s residence.
This meant that Gu Yu’s desire to obtain the inheritance could not be realized.
Gu Yu was depressed for a long time because of this. Afterwards, under Mengyao’s comfort, he gave up on obtaining Lin Qianshan’s inheritance.
As for Zhou Yi, the unfortunate kid, Gu Yu did not continue to enjoy his imbecilic state. Instead, he gave Zhou Yi the antidote.
However, it would take three days for Zhou Yi to recover completely.
At this time, Gu Yu took the Imperial Guards out of his spatial storage, scattering a medicinal powder that caused memory confusion. He then forcefully implanted a fabricated memory into their minds, making them experience a thrilling dream.
When they woke up from their dream… cough cough, after Gu Yu giving them the antidote, the Imperial Guards woke up immediately.
Upon seeing the red cloth package in Mengyao’s hand, the Imperial Guards cheered loudly, feeling fortunate that they had fought fiercely with those men in black and finally retrieved the lost treasure.
They had fulfilled their responsibility and finally completed the mission assigned by the Empress!
“It’s finally retrieved the lost treasure, it wasn’t easy!”
“Damn it, next time I see those punks, I’ll beat them until their parents can’t recognize them!”
“Huh? I remember I was injured when I was fighting the enemies!”
“I was injured too, but now I feel as if I wasn’t hurt at all!”
“Are you guys stupid? Did you forget about Divine Doctor Gu? This kind of minor trick is nothing.”
Upon discovering that the mission was completed, the Imperial Guards immediately started chattering excitedly.
Hearing their words, Gu Yu suddenly felt the urge to laugh, thinking that they indeed weren’t injured!
It was just a fabricated memory, and they actually believed it.
The formula from the Medical Scripture was truly amazing!
Gu Yu naturally didn’t want to add to his own troubles. After the Imperial Guards had chatted enough, he had Mengyao issue an order.
They would first rest at Zhongjia Village and then withdraw from the Southern Border.
Upon hearing this command, everyone present cheered joyfully.
For these people who grew up in the capital, the sights and experiences in the Southern Border were truly terrifying!
However, it was also their bad luck to have encountered Lin Qianshan this time.
Thinking of Lin Qianshan again made Gu Yu’s heart ache.
It was one thing to lose the Dragon Gu, but now he couldn’t even get Lin Qianshan’s inheritance.
What bad luck!
As the Imperial Guards returned to Zhongjia Village to recuperate, Gu Yu angrily kicked a small stone at his feet, thinking that they should return to the capital as soon as possible!
He felt that the Southern Border was somehow a jinx for him!
If he stayed any longer, Gu Yu felt he would only become more upset.
“Lord Gu, may I ask what is troubling you?”
At this moment, Pa Yinan’s voice suddenly sounded.
This made Gu Yu look up at the well-looking Pa Yinan and Gege, and his eyes narrowed. He hadn’t expected these two to be alive!
Back in the cave, Pa Yinan, Gege, and Zhou Yi were all controlled by the men in black.
Gu Yu thought that these people had long been killed, but he didn’t expect them to be alive and well now.
It seemed that Pa Yinan’s understanding of the cave was deeper than he had imagined.
Otherwise, how could she have escaped from the men in black so easily?
“That man in the purple clothes, I originally wanted to retrieve the things he stole, but behind the Bronze Gate, I accidentally killed him. Now I can’t get the things back.”
Hearing Pa Yinan’s inquiry, Gu Yu did not hide anything. Instead, he started to fabricate a story.
Anyway, Lin Qianshan was already dead.
There were no witnesses to the contrary.
It was up to him how he told the story. Could Lin Qianshan be resurrected to settle accounts with him?
“Lord Gu, if it’s about that man in purple, I have a way to find his residence, and perhaps we can retrieve the things you lost.”
“You have a way?”
“Yes, I have a kind of Gu worm that can clearly remember a person’s scent. As long as that man in purple lives in the Southern Border, I can find his residence.”
However, what Gu Yu did not expect was that Pa Yinan could actually find it.
It was like a new hope!
Upon hearing what Pa Yinan said, Gu Yu’s spirits lifted. Then, seeing the brightness in Pa Yinan’s eyes, Gu Yu’s excitement subsided.
From Gege’s previous introduction, Pa Yinan was not a good person. Now, she was actively choosing to help him, which made Gu Yu instinctively feel that things were not that simple.
What did she want?
“You’re helping me so much, what do you want?”
Looking at the expression on Pa Yinan’s face, Gu Yu finally chose to ask directly without beating around the bush.
Since Pa Yinan held the bargaining chip, Gu Yu had no choice but to negotiate with her.
However, if Pa Yinan was too greedy, Gu Yu wouldn’t mind letting her enjoy the pleasure of the medicinal powder.
Hmm, thinking about it this way, Gu Yu felt like a big villain!
“I want the Gu worms from that man in purple’s home. If Lord Gu agrees, we can split them fifty-fifty.”
“You just want the Gu worms?”
However, the situation developed in a way that was somewhat unexpected for Gu Yu.
Upon hearing that Pa Yinan wanted the insects left behind by Lin Qianshan, Gu Yu couldn’t help but twitch his lips, thinking that he was not a true Gu master, so he couldn’t understand the passion of the Southern Border Gu masters for insects!
Pa Yinan had just escaped from danger, and her first reaction was to want to devour the Gu worms raised by Lin Qianshan.
“When I was captured by those men in black, that man in purple killed a large portion of my Gu worms. I need to replenish them with fresh Gu worms quickly, but if I continue to raise them, I don’t have enough time… Therefore, I want the Gu worms from that man’s house!”
“Alright, since you need Gu worms so badly, I won’t take advantage of you! As long as you can find that man in purple’s home, all his Gu worms will be yours!”
Gu Yu had no interest in Gu worms, of course.
At this moment, he was also doing a favor for her, not asking for a single worm.
This made Pa Yinan’s expression become excited.
