Even though Lu Zechuan didn’t have many years left to live, someone still wanted to borrow his life! Watching Xia Mian turn and walk into the hospital, Lu Zechuan followed her without a word. "Shen Man has a master trying to save her!" Xia Mian briefly explained to Lu Zechuan as she walked, "This morning you were almost hit by a car; that was also his doing. He’s trying to borrow your life for Shen Man!" Lu Zechuan’s thin lips pressed slightly together, his face grim. "You can now consider how to deal with her," Xia Mian’s voice was calm and steady, carrying a reassuring strength. Lu Zechuan’s eyes were dark as he slowly said, "I want her to not be able to live nor die!" Originally, after knowing that Shen Man’s fate was sealed, Lu Zechuan didn’t plan to continue tangling with her. But Shen Man was unrepentant and even had designs on him! "Alright!" Xia Mian gently uttered the word and strode upstairs. Just now, when Xia Mian and the man locked eyes, she left her tracking mark on him. It wouldn’t be difficult to drag that man out. As Xia Mian expected, the man appeared near Shen Man’s ward. When Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan entered, the ward was already empty, with Lu Zhenqing nowhere to be seen either. Lu Zechuan squinted his dark eyes and pulled out his phone to call Lu Zhenqing, only to find that his phone was turned off. "They ran!" Lu Zechuan’s eyes flashed coldly, not only had they run, but they had also abducted his father! Xia Mian’s lips pressed into a line, her gaze deep, "They’re not far away yet." "I’ll go after them." Xia Mian turned to leave. Lu Zechuan grabbed Xia Mian’s hand, "I’m coming with you!" Xia Mian didn’t refuse; after all, the matter involved Lu Zechuan, and he had the right to know everything. Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan descended the stairs together, with Xia Mian driving out of the garage while carefully sensing the man’s movement. After driving a certain distance, Xia Mian realized that her mark on the man had faded. As they moved farther away, she could barely sense it. Xia Mian’s eyes narrowed deeply, this was the first time since her rebirth someone managed to break her Taoist skill. However... Xia Mian gently tugged at the corners of her lips, a smile spreading in her eyes, the man probably forgot Shen Man had a Mother Gu inside her, while she had two Child Gu in her hands. Xia Mian parked the car on the roadside, took out a black bag, and pursed her lips to begin whistling softly. The whistle was extremely rhythmic, as if conveying some kind of command. The two Child Gu inside the black bag began to stir, and at the same time, Shen Man, with the Mother Gu inside her body, suddenly felt a splitting headache! The man was concentrating on driving, but with Shen Man’s sudden attack, he was caught off guard. He glanced at the back seat, causing the steering wheel to veer. The man dared not be careless anymore and focused on driving, instructing Lu Zhenqing without turning his head, "Take care of her! Don’t let her do anything to harm herself!" Lu Zhenqing quickly agreed. The man had appeared suddenly, but after his arrival, the originally weak Shen Man miraculously improved a lot! Lu Zhenqing immediately clung to him like a lifeline, listening to his every word, even when he told Lu Zhenqing to bring Shen Man along, Lu Zhenqing did so without hesitation. Influenced by the Child Gu, Shen Man was restless; the worm crawled inside her head like a worrying mother pacing anxiously. Unable to bear it, Shen Man started banging her head against the car window. Anticipating this, Lu Zhenqing hurriedly cradled Shen Man’s head in his arms. In agony, Shen Man bit down on Lu Zhenqing’s arm. Blood instantly oozed from Lu Zhenqing’s arm. Yet, he gritted his teeth silently. Having been with Shen Man for many years, he couldn’t stand to see her suffer any hardship, but now, she was about to torment herself to death! "Master, I beg you, save Mannan!" Lu Zhenqing pleaded earnestly with the man driving. The man, still facing forward, pulled a small pouch from his pocket, casually tossing it to Lu Zhenqing, "Give this to her!" Lu Zhenqing took the pouch, hurriedly opened it, and pulled out a pitch-black pill. But Shen Man wouldn’t loosen her grip on his arm, so feeding the pill proved impossible! "Mannan, please, regain your senses!" Lu Zhenqing endured the excruciating pain in his arm, "Come on, open your mouth!" In a moment of brief clarity, Shen Man let go momentarily, only to bite down on Lu Zhenqing’s nose... In desperation, Lu Zhenqing pinched Shen Man’s nose, causing her to finally open her mouth. With quick reflexes, Lu Zhenqing managed to pop the pitch-black pill into her mouth. It appeared the Mother Gu inside Shen Man’s body was affected by the pill and gradually calmed down. "Master, what’s happening to Mannan?" Lu Zhenqing asked, eyes full of worry. The man, still not turning, coldly replied, "That little girl caught up!" The man’s eyes narrowed, filled with a strong desire to fight. No wonder his three disciples were repeatedly defeated by that young girl, she certainly had some skills! "Master, stop the car; I’ll deal with that brat!" Lu Zhenqing angrily declared, "Wanting to marry into the Lu Family yet daring to harm my wife with her dark arts, she’s really tired of living!" The man chuckled softly, "Your son has already been bewitched by her. If you confront her now, it will only lead to conflict between you and your son." Lu Zhenqing’s face darkened, "Son be damned! If worst comes to worst, I’ll kick him out of the Lu Family! I can still have children with Mannan!" The man’s expression remained unreadable, "Mr. Lu, you’re speaking rashly." Kick Lu Zechuan out of the Lu Family? Heh, Lu Zhenqing probably hadn’t realized his true standing in the family! The old man of the Lu Family cherished Lu Zechuan like his own eyes; if Lu Zhenqing tried to oust Lu Zechuan, he might end up causing his own downfall. After venting his frustration with empty words, Lu Zhenqing realized his folly and fell silent immediately. After taking the pill, Shen Man slept quietly in his arms. The once delicate person now lay sickly, lacking even the strength to open her eyes. "Where is Master taking us?" Lu Zhenqing asked as the car drove farther and farther, gradually leaving the city, sowing seeds of doubt in his heart. "To find one of my disciples," The man answered blandly. Lu Zhenqing gave a distracted compliment, "Master has disciples all over the world, huh!" The man merely grunted in acknowledgment, saying nothing more. Moments later, the car arrived at a small village on the outskirts of Beijing. Master Xie, having received his master’s message, waited in the house Yu Hongmei had prepared for him. Upon finally seeing his master, he wore a relieved expression. "Master!" Master Xie stepped forward, respectfully bowing.
