Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot!

Chapter 287 - 287 Stone


287 Stone

However, this was not what shocked Gu Man. What shocked her was the huge spiritual power on the stone.

Before she could see what the stone was, the old man had already handed it over.

...

“The rocks I showed you are quite far from the meteorite. This rock was picked up near the meteorite. Girl, I didn’t hide it on purpose. Please save Guo Guo.”

Gu Man looked at the stone that was glowing red in her hand and was increasingly surprised. She quietly put it away.

“I agree to the treatment. This stone is enough as the reward.”

Although under normal circumstances, she would not take what others liked, this was an extraordinary situation.

“A Gu was planted on Guo Guo. You’d better think about whether you offended anyone. Otherwise, I’m not sure if it’ll come again.”

The old man obviously didn’t know what a Gu was. He looked at Guo Guo in confusion. When Guo Guo heard Gu, her fingertips accidentally trembled.

Seeing this, Gu Man already knew that Guo Guo had a thought. She said, “It’s something similar to a parasite. Don’t worry, old man. As for why you can’t detect it, it’s because this thing is good at hiding. Moreover, because it’s special, neither Chinese nor Western medicine can detect it.”

The old man nodded as if he understood. “As long as it can be treated. But we’ve been kind to others all our lives and we’ve never done anything to offend anyone.”

Gu Man did not explain much. Instead, she stood up. “I need to prepare a few things. I’ll look for you at the same place in the Ghost Market in three days.”

The old man was a little hesitant, as if he did not want Gu Man to leave. Seeing his hesitation, Gu Man promised, “This stone is very important to me. I’ll leave it with you for now. When I cure her, you can give me the reward.”

Hearing this promise, the old man was relieved.

Gu Man left the wooden house. Before she left, she looked at Guo Guo meaningfully.

After leaving the wooden house, the old man insisted on sending her off. Gu Man still used the excuse that Guo Guo needed treatment to make the old man stop in his tracks.

After walking for a while, Jiang Yi spoke. There was no longer anything unusual on his face. He asked casually, “Is there really Gu in this world? I’ve only seen it in novels.”

“Yes, it’s just a small trick.”

On this trip to the Ghost Market, Gu Man had already obtained what she wanted, so there was no need for her to continue staying in the Ghost Market.

She left in a hurry, preparing to grab some needed herbs.

After a busy day, it was almost evening when they returned home.

Gu Man hefted a bag of medicine and walked alone on the dark and empty path.

Unexpectedly, she bumped into Xiang Yin on the way home.

“What did you buy? Why are you only back now?”

As soon as they met, Xiang Yin asked a series of questions.

“Herbs.”

“Are you sick again?”

As soon as Gu Man answered, she heard Xiang Yin lose control. She moved away from him and said, “No.”

Xiang Yin also realized that he had lost his composure just now and explained, “I was just worried about you.”

Gu Man’s expression was calm, as if she did not take Xiang Yin’s words to heart.

Looking at Gu Man, who had already left, Xiang Yin sighed helplessly.

It seemed that no matter what he did, it could not tug at Gu Man’s heartstrings.

Xiang Yin immediately became dispirited. He put his hands in his pockets and the air pressure around him decreased.

He, the dignified Second Master Xiang, could not even woo a woman.

He quickened his pace and followed Gu Man. Just as he was about to continue finding a topic, a pair of slender hands blocked his path.

Xiang Yin looked down and looked up at the source of the hand. The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.

“What are you…”

“Don’t talk.”

Xiang Yin subconsciously shut up, but his expression looked a little pitiful.

Gu Man stared at a certain place in the night and was a little speechless.

“What precious things did you put in your house? People keep coming to your house.”

When Gu Man said that, Xiang Yin understood. He looked up at his window and saw a bright rope swaying in the air.
