Chapter 513

Why did Qiao Muting come too?

He had always been intimidated by Qiao Muting, and knowing the relationship between Qiao Muting and Shu Xia made him feel even more uncomfortable and somewhat jealous.

Does someone as cold-blooded and heartless as Qiao Muting even know how to cherish someone?

Gu Jianzhang noticed the instant change in Gu Cheng's expression, gave Gu Cheng a nudge, and whispered a reminder: "Qiao Muting is a jealous man; if he finds out you're pining for his woman, how do you think he'll deal with you?"

Gu Cheng's mouth twitched violently, "I know!"

Ever since he found out that the person Shu Xia married was Qiao Muting, he had forced himself to face reality and treat Shu Xia as a friend.

Just then, Shu Xia and Qiao Muting walked in.

Gu Lao immediately beckoned to Shu Xia, "Xia Xia, come over here and take a look."

Shu Xia immediately quickened her pace, "Okay."

Qiao Muting followed behind with his long legs.

When he saw Gu Jianzhang, he nodded at him.

The two had just met two days ago; as friends since childhood, they didn't need to say anything when they met, as one or two glances could convey everything.

Shu Xia examined the bronze ware carefully.

As her hand rested on the bronze ware, waves of cold, sinister Qi seemed to pierce into her palm.

Her expression changed abruptly.

Various extremely cruel images appeared in her mind; this bronze ware was filled with ashes.

The ashes of infants who hadn't even reached a month old.

She took a deep breath; this kind of Evil Object is extremely insidious and can invisibly drain the lifespan of anyone who touches it.

The baleful energy of tens of thousands of wronged souls had become increasingly dense through the baptism of time, hidden within it.

Seeing Shu Xia's face turn pale in an instant, Qiao Muting furrowed his brows.

Gu Lao also realized that the situation was not good.

"Xia Xia, is this the same type of thing as the cheongsam in your Grandpa Ding's house, and the porcelain vase that Ye Yaoguang sent over for repair last time?"

Shu Xia's heart was still trembling.

She pressed her lips together tightly and nodded, "Yes, and it's even worse. Has this friend of Gu Lao's suddenly aged a lot recently? Is he now likely bedridden, and perhaps the doctors have determined he won't last more than a few months, right?"

Who on earth is it, and where are they finding these things to harm people?

Gu Lao's expression changed drastically; clearly, Shu Xia had guessed correctly.

He didn't answer immediately, but instead stared at the bronze ware in front of him, swallowed hard, and then nodded: "You got it all right."

"That's too wicked!" Gu Cheng was shocked.

It was the first time Gu Jianzhang had seen Shu Xia be so formidable; he had heard Jiang Tu talk about it before, and had also heard Zhang Tezhu mention some things, but he had always felt it was too fantastical, or perhaps that Shu Xia only understood some Feng Shui metaphysics, but now, he widened his eyes and looked at Qiao Muting.

Your wife is this amazing, do you know?

Or is it that you knew long ago, which is why you married her?

Qiao Muting was entirely calm and composed, casting a cool glance at Gu Jianzhang, whose single look contained several questions.

Gu Jianzhang retreated a step without a trace.

Although he was young, he cherished his life.

It was better to keep a distance from this kind of wicked thing; it was a good thing he hadn't touched it just now.

Thinking that his father had touched it, Gu Jianzhang's expression became tense, and he asked Shu Xia: "Is there any effect on my father?"

Shu Xia frowned and said: "There will be an effect."

Since this thing appeared indirectly in front of Gu Lao, and Gu Lao had also focused his attention on studying it for a long time, he would inevitably be affected by it.
