The Gu Master chanted a mantra, grabbed the copper bell, and jumped up. All the Gu worms, awaken!

The three of them looked at him, dumbfounded. Jiang Hai whispered, “What happened to him? Did Young Master Yu slap him into a fool?”

Gu Master: You’re the fool! Your entire family is fools!

The Gu Master jumped around, until his face turned red and his eyes rolled back. Old Cui was startled by the fuss he made. He walked over while chewing on a lamb leg and said impatiently, “What’s going on so early in the morning? Can’t we have some peace!”

The Gu Master was going crazy! It was fine if a few young people could withstand his Gu worm, but why was an old man who had one foot in the coffin fine?

“Tsk ~” Old Cui rolled his eyes and returned to his room. Jiang Hai and the other two gave the Gu Master a pitiful look and went to pack their things.

The Gu Master had a coachman who was also his personal attendant. He went forward and said, “Gu Master, it’s time to go.”

The Gu Master gritted his teeth and said, “Tell them to wait. I have to go somewhere first.”

“Yes.”

The Gu Master was the employer. If he told them to wait, they had to wait. This was something that could not be changed. Therefore, the Gu Master was not worried that they would leave him behind and run away. After all, they did not even have a travel pass. Where could they run to?

The Gu Master went to another inn to see someone. It was the man who had fallen in love with Zi Su at first sight on the road.

This person’s name was Fei Luo, and he was a Gu Master in Wu City. He was quite famous locally. Fei Luo’s skills were much stronger than the employer of Jiang Hai and the other two, not to mention that Fei Luo had a master who was a Great Gu Master.

The difference in strength and status was worlds apart. Only by becoming a Great Gu Master was one qualified to be an esteemed guest of the royal family.

“Lord Fei Luo.” The Gu Master bowed piously.

Fei Luo narrowed his long phoenix eyes and said, “Where is she?”

The Gu Master said in shame, “They’re unwilling to hand her over.”

Fei Luo snorted coldly. “She’s just a maidservant. They can’t bear to hand her over? Did you tell them seriously? You can give them as much money as you want.”

“They don’t lack money,” the Gu Master said.

“Oh?” Fei Luo raised his eyebrows. “You didn’t tell them that I’m a Gu Master of the Queen Manor?”

The Gu Master was puzzled. “Yes, and I also used methods on them, but my Gu worm doesn’t seem to be useful to them. I don’t know what’s going on.”

Fei Luo sneered. “What else can it be? You just met a Gu Master stronger than you.”

The Gu Master shook his head. “That’s impossible. There are no Gu Masters among them.” If there were, they wouldn’t have become his escort for a few travel passes.

Fei Luo thought for a while and said, “Then they have the Gu King in their hands. Your Gu worm is suppressed by the Gu King.”

“This…”

“I only wanted a lovely maidservant. I didn’t expect to meet the Gu King.” Fei Luo waved the translucent jade bottle in his hand. “My treasure hasn’t eaten in a long time. It’s time to find something delicious for it.”

The Gu Master was stunned the moment he saw the jade bottle. If he was not mistaken, there was a Golden Toad Gu inside!

The most powerful Gu he had ever seen in his life was the Golden Silkworm Gu, but no matter how powerful it was, it was only a Hundred Gu King. The Golden Toad Gu was different. It was already infinitely close to the Thousand Gu King!

Lord Fei Luo actually had such a powerful treasure in his hands. He had indeed curried favor with the right person.

The Gu Master knelt down on one knee. “Lord Fei Luo, what do you need me to do? Please be honest. I will definitely work hard for you!”

On the other hand, Yu Wan and the others were all ready to set off, they waited for the Gu Master for a long time but he did not come. All of their faces darkened. Just as Jiang Hai was about to go out to look for him, the Gu Master appeared with a calm expression.

The Gu Master glanced at Yu Wan’s carriage indifferently and said arrogantly, “Since you’re all prepared, let’s set off. We have to rush to Liu City before dusk. Otherwise, we’ll have to sleep in the wilderness.”

Slap! Yu Wan pulled down the curtain. She would pretend that he was farting.

The corners of the Gu Master’s mouth twitched. Soon, Lord Fei Luo will take action. Let’s see how long you can be arrogant!

“Princely Heir Consort…” Zi Su looked at Yu Wan worriedly. She understood that she had caused trouble. She shouldn’t have gone to catch the thief. She had met a lecher who seemed to be very powerful. Even their employer had fawned over him. Now, because Madam refused to hand her over, their employer was angry.

Yu Wan glanced at the little girl and said, “It’s not your fault. Don’t worry too much. Also, I won’t hand you over unless you want to leave.”

Zi Su knelt down. “I don’t want to leave! I want to serve the Princely Heir Consort for the rest of my life!”

“Isn’t that settled?” Yu Wan glanced at the curtain. “Go.”

Zi Su understood. After putting the food on the plate, she alighted from the carriage and got into her and Fu Ling’s carriage.

The carriage drove south.

For the first half of the day, the Gu Master had been urging the coachman to speed up in case they could not enter the city. However, in the afternoon, the Gu Master suddenly had a stomachache and the carriage stopped. In the end, they still missed the time to enter the city.
