Chapter 514

Gu Lao is experienced and knowledgeable; having lived to this age, what storms has he not seen?

He was startled for a moment just now, but his expression has already returned to normal.

"Gu Lao, this is an Amulet given to me by Zhong Nainai. If you carry it on your person, it can weaken the influence. Get plenty of sunlight this month; the influence this bronze artifact has on you will disappear after one month. You must also be careful with your diet this month and make sure not to fall ill." Shu Xia took an Amulet out of her bag and handed it over.

Zhong Nainai had given her quite a few Amulets.

She actually knew how to draw Amulets herself, but she had never drawn them for anyone else; Zhong Nainai had told her she could not draw them for others unless the right time had come.

The letter she received from Zhong Nainai after her rebirth indicated that the time had come.

But since it concerned Gu Lao, and she still had the Amulets Zhong Nainai had given her on hand, she decided not to take any risks for now.

"What about us?" Gu Jianzhang touched his nose and asked with some embarrassment.

Although he was still young, he did not want to lose his lifespan for no reason, nor did he want to get sick—he didn't even want a minor cold.

Gu Cheng did not care much; he only cared about whether his grandfather would be affected in the end.

Qiao Muting had been standing to the side with one hand in his pocket, quietly watching Shu Xia resolve the matter.

Every time this happened, the woman before his eyes seemed like a different person, possessing a charm that made it impossible to look away.

Shu Xia looked at Gu Jianzhang, "As for Mr. Gu, you won't be affected much. Just get more outdoor exercise and keep a regular sleep schedule. At most, you might have a few nightmares occasionally, it's nothing. I can draw two Amulets for you and Gu Cheng."

Gu Cheng puffed out his chest; the young man was never timid and said fearlessly, "Isn't it just a few nightmares? I'll just treat it like playing an escape room. What is there for a real man to be afraid of?"

When it came to guts and courage, his uncle was far behind him!

Gu Jianzhang glared at Gu Cheng, who was contradicting him—this brat!

Shu Xia's expression relaxed slightly, and she took two Amulets out of her bag—they were ones she had drawn previously and kept in her bag, "You two take these first."

She then looked at Gu Lao: "Gu Lao, this bronze artifact now belongs to that friend of yours. What I mean is, the bronze artifact has chosen its master; Gu Lao, you should return it."

"Return it?" Gu Lao frowned. Knowing that this thing would cost his old friend his life, how could he return it?

"He must have had this bronze artifact for a while now. There is no way to save him anymore; only after he passes away can this bronze artifact be destroyed. If it is destroyed now, he will not survive the night." Shu Xia explained with a grave expression.

She wanted to save people too.

But it was too late to say anything now.

This friend of Gu Lao's must have often admired this bronze artifact alone, touching it from time to time, and had unknowingly dedicated himself to the bronze artifact.

Gu Lao's expression was very grave, and finally, he responded in a low voice, "Alright."

Gu Jianzhang walked to Qiao Muting's side and said in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid of being affected?"

Look at Qiao Muting; from just now until now, he hadn't cared at all.

Qiao Muting's tone was cold and thin, "Afraid of what? Shu Xia and I are together every day."

"..." Damn! He shouldn't have asked.

This was a disguised way of showing off their affection, right?

Or was he intentionally flaunting his wife?

It had to be said, it was enviable. Later, he would have to build a good relationship with Shu Xia. He remembered that Shu Xia's older brother was doing research at a technology company he had invested in, right?

He felt that Shu Xia's older brother might be lacking research funding; he would call the person in charge tomorrow.

The future was long, and it was necessary to build good relationships.

Gu Jianzhang was an old fox; he had planned everything out in a short time.

Finally, Gu Lao packed the item up, had someone send it back to his friend, and planned to go visit this old friend in the next two days.
