The man responded indifferently, "Go and help your junior sister down." Lu Zhenqing frowned. Was Shen Man this man’s disciple? She never mentioned learning these things from anyone before. The man ignored Lu Zhenqing’s doubts and turned to Master Xie, "Did she scheme against you?" Master Xie hung his head, looking ashamed, "As a disciple, I’ve embarrassed my master!" After a pause, Master Xie’s face showed a hint of sorrow, "My junior brother... was killed by that girl." The man remained calm, his eyes devoid of emotions, "I already know." Only then did Master Xie bend down to get into the car to carry Shen Man down. "Master, let me! Let me!" Lu Zhenqing quickly said. How could he let another man carry his wife! Master Xie nodded and gestured to him, leading the way. Following behind the two, Lu Zhenqing felt an oddity in his heart. Shen Man was adopted by the Shen Family. She had never been in contact with such strange people, yet today a master and a senior brother suddenly appeared... "Shen Man is my biological daughter." The man turned around and glanced at Lu Zhenqing, "Years ago, I was solely focused on seeking Tao and didn’t fulfill my responsibilities as a father, leaving her to wander the streets..." The man’s words slowly flowed into Lu Zhenqing’s ears, and suddenly his face showed an enlightened expression. If Shen Man was this man’s biological daughter, then it seemed right for the man to have another master call Shen Man junior sister. "Later, I predicted she would lead a prosperous and wealthy life, so I didn’t come back to find her." The man continued, "But yesterday, I felt her vitality dwindling, and the Life Plate I kept for her lost its shine. I knew she was in trouble." The man sighed lightly, "I am not a qualified father." Lu Zhenqing hurriedly comforted him, "Dad, don’t say that!" The man turned around, surprised, and glanced at Lu Zhenqing. "You are Mannan’s father, so you’re my father as well. From now on, I’ll honor you along with Mannan!" Lu Zhenqing explained. The man smiled, and under the sunlight, his smile was somewhat unclear, "That’s—nothing better!" A trip down the mountain, and he easily gained a rich son, haha, such a good thing! Carrying Shen Man, Lu Zhenqing followed Master Xie, feeling more and more that the figure of the person in front was familiar, unable to stop himself from asking, "Master, have we met somewhere before?" Last time Wu Mei invited Master Xie to divine for Mrs. Lu during her seventieth birthday celebration, Lu Zhenqing saw him at the birthday banquet. However, practitioners tend to have the knack of being forgotten after being seen, so Lu Zhenqing couldn’t recall exactly where he had met him. "Mr. Lu tends to forget, but on the night of your mother’s seventieth birthday, I was there to divine for her." Master Xie’s voice was gentle and melodious, drifting into Lu Zhenqing’s ears along with the breeze. Lu Zhenqing had an expression of sudden realization, "So you are Master Xie! My sister-in-law holds Master Xie in high esteem!" Master Xie’s lips slightly curved, "It is my honor to be favored by Mrs. Lu!" In the conversation, Master Xie led Lu Zhenqing to a quiet courtyard, "Master, you should stay here for now!" The man responded with a hum. Lu Zhenqing stepped forward and placed Shen Man on the bed. Only then did he respectfully turn to the man, "Dad, what’s wrong with Mannan?" The man squinted his eyes slightly and slowly said, "She has been infested with a Gu Worm." "Gu Worm?" Lu Zhenqing’s eyes widened. He had only seen such things on TV! "Yes. Infested with a Gu Worm, now another worm is in someone’s hand, Mannan is influenced by the other worm, her vitality is fading, and she doesn’t have much time left." The man sighed, worried. "Master, do you have a way to save her?" Lu Zhenqing urgently asked, "I’ll do whatever it takes to save Mannan!" The man lowered his eyes, "Go back and get a tube of your son’s blood." Lu Zhenqing, puzzled, squinted his eyes, "You need my son’s blood?" "Yes, I need a tube of his blood." The man’s voice was certain, "Don’t worry, just a tube of blood won’t take his life." Lu Zhenqing frowned, glanced at the pale face of Shen Man on the bed, and finally, as if making a decision, nodded heavily, "Okay! I’ll go back now!" A hint of satisfaction appeared in the man’s eyes, "Be careful, do not let him notice." Lu Zhenqing nodded and turned to walk out the door. As he watched Lu Zhenqing gradually leave, the man’s gaze suddenly turned gloomy and terrifying. "Master." Master Xie stood respectfully behind the man, "Since that girl came to the Lu Family, dealing with them has become somewhat difficult." The man responded softly, "If the Lu Family can’t be dealt with, then deal with the Ji Family first." Master Xie lowered his head, "The Ji Family... has connections with that girl too." The man’s eyes sank immediately, "Just a yellow-haired girl, trying to show off her skills in front of my Mystic Sect?" Master Xie tightly bit his lip, remaining silent. This isn’t just any yellow-haired girl; she not only excelled in Taoist Techniques but also possessed word spirit! Her mouth was enlightened, whoever she cursed was in trouble! "Don’t worry, with your master here, she can’t make waves!" The man smiled faintly, turning back to look at Shen Man on the bed, his gaze becoming complex. When Shen Man entered the Shen Family, indeed there was some accidental involvement from him, but now, seeing Shen Man grow into this, it wasn’t the outcome he wished for. Xia Mian held a black bag that constantly wriggled, but she could no longer sense the position of Shen Man’s Mother Gu. Xia Mian narrowed her dark eyes, "They actually fed medicine to the Mother Gu..." The Mother Gu’s sleep is indeed a good way to alleviate the host body’s pain. Xia Mian’s expression turned serious, and Lu Zechuan followed suit in worry, "Can’t find it?" Xia Mian’s eyes flashed slightly, "I can find it." "But I’ll need a drop of your blood." Xia Mian glanced at Lu Zechuan, "Since your father is with them, we can probably use blood connection." Without a moment’s hesitation, Lu Zechuan bit his finger. Xia Mian dripped the blood onto the phone screen and drew a blood-red talisman on the screen. The blood-red talisman glowed, once again guiding Xia Mian in the direction. Xia Mian started the car anew. Xia Mian drove quickly, yet on a rural road in Beijing, she encountered the swiftly driving Lu Zhenqing. Xia Mian sensed Lu Zhenqing, and he also saw Lu Zechuan’s car. Lu Zhenqing blocked Lu Zechuan’s car, glaring indignantly at Lu Zechuan, "Where are you going?" Lu Zechuan didn’t waste words, "Where is she?" "She’s already near death, yet you still won’t let her go?" Lu Zhenqing was so angry his face turned blue. Lu Zechuan’s voice was cold, "If you still acknowledge me as your son, then step aside!" Lu Zhenqing was provoked by Lu Zechuan’s attitude and shouted uncontrollably, "I’m your father, I order you to go back!"
