The Crazy Son-In-Law

Xiao Shun’s cultivation level, termed “Consolidation,” was far from matching the speed at which an ordinary person could control their thoughts-this was indisputable.

Given this, the difficulty he faced in trying to save Song Linger was imaginable.

After all, if he made a move, those “Wild Gu People” would immediately trigger their Gu poison, and Song Linger’s fate would be all too predictable!

With this thought, Xiao Shun’s expression darkened considerably.

He had thought that with his level of cultivation, he would no longer fear any situation, but now, even in this tiny place called Old Melon, he found himself in a particularly tricky situation!

“With these ‘Wild Gu People’ around, isn’t my situation quite passive?” Xiao Shun helplessly looked towards Xia Li.

Hearing this, Xia Li nodded, “That’s also my worry!”

In her view, with Xiao Shun’s overwhelmingly powerful strength, dealing with more than three Gu technique masters would not be stressful.

However, facing the “Wild Gu People” who practiced bizarre Gu techniques made the situation less optimistic.

“The mysterious Gu practitioners in the old forest each have their own unique skills, and being affected by their Gu techniques could have severe consequences. However, if one could spot the flaws in their techniques, they could be easily neutralized!”

At this point, Xia Li sighed helplessly, “Ah, but discovering their flaws is not an easy task!”

Hearing this, Xiao Shun’s previously somber face suddenly lit up with inspiration, and he asked Xia Li, “If the flaws can be found, can their Gu techniques be broken?”

Seeing Xiao Shun’s excited expression, Xia Li first nodded, then added earnestly, “Mr. Xiao, you must not be careless. Even finding flaws in the techniques of ordinary Gu practitioners is extremely difficult, let alone those of the ‘Wild Gu People.'”

The flaws in Gu techniques were akin to a practitioner’s vulnerable points; once exposed, they posed no threat. But finding this proactive advantage was not so simple!

However, Xiao Shun had that kind of confidence.

After all, following his breakthrough in “Consolidation,” he had acquired a pair of “Spirit Eyes.”

These Spirit Eyes could discern all illusions, making it not so difficult to locate the exact position of Gu poison within a body.

When the time came, as long as Xiao Shun could find where the Gu poison had concentrated in Song Linger’s body and then use a silver needle to dispel it, the perilous situation would naturally resolve.

But the key issue was whether he could see Song Linger.

From the series of arrangements made by Ruan Jinshui, it was clear that he was a meticulously thoughtful person. He first bribed the Xia family’s servants to find out Xiao Shun’s whereabouts, then he contacted the “Wild Gu People” to secretly subdue Song Linger, ultimately using this to threaten Xiao Shun into the game.

Seeing Song Linger from the hands of such a delicately minded person was not something Xiao Shun was very confident about.

However, thinking about these things now was of no use, as everything was still an unknown; they needed to take things one step at a time.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Seeing Xiao Shun silent for a long time, Xia Li thought he was worried about Song Linger’s safety, so she comforted him, “Mr. Xiao, please rest assured. Since Linger’s incident happened at my house, I will definitely resolve this with you!”

Xiao Shun waved his hand: “It’s a case of the prepared against the unprepared. You’re not to blame for this; if anyone, it should be me, her master, for not being more cautious!”

He really didn’t blame Xia Li, as it wasn’t in his nature to lash out at others over incidents.

Ruan Jinshui had clearly come prepared, and Song Linger, being somewhat naive, was susceptible to being schemed against.

After hearing Xiao Shun’s words, Xia Li felt a mixture of emotions.

Although he didn’t blame her, the incident had occurred within the Xia family, and as a party involved, she couldn’t simply detach herself from the matter.

And so, she declared resolutely, “Later, Mr. Xiao and I will act together. No matter the cost, I will persuade the ‘wild gu master’ to undo the gu spell in Sister Linger’s body. By then, I swear to make Ruan Jinshui have no place to be buried!”

The Xia family had dealings with the “wild gu masters” and had gained some respect in that mysterious community. With the promise of substantial benefits, persuading a “wild gu master” was not too difficult.

Moreover, Ruan Jinshui had dared to stir trouble right under their noses by kidnapping a distinguished guest of the Xia family. If Xia Li, the family head, did not step in, how could she maintain her authority in the Southeast Asian gu art circles in the future!

Not just Ruan Jinshui, his entire family was now within her vengeful plans.

This was evident from her arrangements after leaving the Gu Art Association.

Seeing Xia Li’s furious expression, Xiao Shun slowly shook his head.

“If you intervene, Ruan Jinshui might become cautious, and the fact that the ‘wild gu master’ dares to act knowing Linger’s relationship with you, clearly shows his ties with Ruan Jinshui. It’s best not to act rashly!”

Hearing this, Xia Li was momentarily stunned.

Clearly, she understood his point.

Nevertheless, she still expressed her worries, “But…”

Before Xia Li could finish, Xiao Shun confidently interrupted with a wave of his hand, “You don’t need to step in. I will find a way to resolve this myself. As long as I can meet Linger, everything will be properly settled!”

Having said this, Xia Li no longer insisted.

After all, she knew the severe consequences of her involvement. If Ruan Jinshui were to find out, he might become utterly disoriented and resort to desperate measures, which could be disastrous.

With this thought, Xia Li sighed deeply, “Ah, Mr. Xiao and Sister Linger are benefactors of our clan, yet to think such an incident would occur at our stronghold, I truly feel uneasy!”

After listening, Xiao Shun consoled her, “I’ve already said, I don’t blame you for this. If anyone is to blame, it’s only Ruan Jinshui for his vile tricks. But I assure you, he will not see tomorrow’s sun!”

He detested most, being threatened by enemies using his loved ones.

Ruan Jinshui’s actions had undoubtedly provoked Xiao Shun’s wrath, ensuring a grim fate for him!

Glancing at the murderous intent emanating from Xiao Shun, Xia Li coldly said, “I have already sent people to surveil the outskirts of the Ruan family villa. Just give the word, and we can storm in and obliterate them!”

“To be able to raise such a descendant, this family truly does not deserve to exist. Bringing them to ruin is merely letting future generations suffer a bit,” Xiao Shun stated indifferently.

Due to Ruan Jinshui, Xiao Shun had no fondness for anyone in the Ruan family, so he naturally felt no compassion in seeing Xia Li’s decision to annihilate the Ruan clan.

Afterwards, the two exchanged a few more words before leaving the cafe separately.

It was evening, and the street lamps were lit on both sides of the street. Xiao Shun walked aimlessly, his mind filled with reflections.

Fortunately, he had met with Xia Li earlier to understand the situation. Had he rushed into a rescue, he might have paid a painful price, leading to a lifetime of regret.
