Aluo shook him off angrily, his eyes red with determination. “I will never let you die. If your bones are disappearing, then I will give you mine. One day, I will definitely find a cure.”

Gu Zhixing sighed helplessly. “Aluo…”

Aluo turned his head away, refusing to look at him.

“I meant others don’t have a solution, not me,” Lu Miao said as she turned and sat on the sofa.

Aluo immediately turned back and rushed to her. anxiously asking. “What’s the

solution? Please tell me. If you can cure him, I’m willing to give you all my possessions!”

“Easy, I do things with clear prices, and I charge fair amounts.” Lu Miao raised an eyebrow and glanced at Gu Zhixing next to her. “If I accept all your possessions, he will think I’m a scammer and ruin my reputation.”

Perhaps Aluo’s mind was more straightforward and didn’t think as much, but both Lu Miao and Gu Zhixing were incredibly intelligent. When intelligent people face each other, they hide their intentions behind smiles, striking without leaving a trace.

But at this moment, she openly spoke about Gu Zhixing’s thoughts in front of all three of them. Such straightforwardness made Gu Zhixing feel a bit more fond of her.

“Don’t worry about him. My possessions are my own to decide,” Aluo said, anxious.

“What’s the solution then?” Aluo asked eagerly.

“Zhuyou Art.” Lu Miao said directly.

This disease was troublesome and beyond the scope of conventional Chinese or Western medicine; they had to resort to unorthodox methods.

“Zhuyou Art? What’s that? Do we need to buy a few pigs and make oil?” Aluo was puzzled and shocked.

Lu Miao couldn’t help but chuckle at his ignorance and explained, “It’s not pigs, it’s a type of blessing. It’s an ancient medical practice passed down from ancient times in China, a combination of Taoist and medical arts.”

Aluo was still confused, but Gu Zhixing, who grew up in China, had heard about it. “Isn’t this supposed to be lost for a long time?”

Zhuyou Art was often portrayed as an extraordinary technique, capable of saving people with just a breath. However, these were mostly just legends, heard from stories, novels, or films, and no one had actually witnessed it.

Moreover, with modern medical advancements, many people considered it to be superstitious or the tricks of charlatans.

“It’s a mystical art. Such things are passed down from master to disciple through word of mouth. Few have survived over thousands of years, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist,” Lu Miao explained.

Aluo nodded, seemingly understanding. “So, what do we do now?”

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Miao reached for the paper and pen on the table and wrote down a list of items, handing it to Aluo.

“Prepare these things as soon as possible.”

Gu Zhixing took the list and looked at it. Scorpions, vipers, centipedes, and even toads. It seemed to have all kinds of venomous creatures!

As he read further, his expression became even more speechless.

He began to suspect that Lu Miao was deliberately playing with him.

“What are these ‘night bright sand’ and ‘white between the eyebrows’?” Aluo asked curiously, drawn in by the names.

Gu Zhixing didn’t really want to explain, and his lips twitched as he looked at Lu Miao. “I admit that I had some misunderstandings about you before, but do we really need all these?”

“We do,” Lu Miao nodded decisively.

Gu Zhixing sighed and reluctantly said, “Understood.”

Aluo shook him off angrily, his eyes red with determination. “I will never let you die. If your bones are disappearing, then I will give you mine. One day, I will definitely find a cure.”o

Gu Zhixing sighed helplessly. “Aluo…”

“Zhuyou Art.” Lu Miao said directly.

This disease was troublesome and beyond the scope of conventional Chinese or Western medicine; they had to resort to unorthodox methods.

“Zhuyou Art? What’s that? Do we need to buy a few pigs (ZHU) and make oil (YOU)?” Aluo was puzzled and shocked.

Lu Miao couldn’t help but chuckle at his ignorance and explained, “It’s not pigs, it’s a type of blessing. It’s an ancient medical practice passed down from ancient times in China, a combination of Taoist and medical arts.”

Gu Zhixing didn’t really want to explain, and his lips twitched as he looked at Lu Miao. “I admit that I had some misunderstandings about you before, but do we really need all these?”

“Of course,” Lu Miao nodded decisively.

Gu Zhixing sighed and reluctantly said, “Understood.”

Aluo was still curiously asking about what those things were. Gu Zhixing raised his hand and covered his mouth, forbidding him from asking further.

Remaining silent allowed him to pretend not to know, but if he spoke the truth, he feared he might spit out whatever he was drinking at the time.o

Seeing that Gu Zhixing wasn’t sure about going back after the treatment, Lu Miao didn’t press him any further. “Once you’re ready, give me a call. I’ll come over tomorrow afternoon.”

Since she didn’t force him to return immediately, Gu Zhixing felt relieved. “Alright.”

After leaving the hotel, Lu Miao went to the City God Temple to get some items. After Lin Bufan’s recent renovations, the whole temple looked brand new, and the side halls were now officially open. There were noticeably more tourists in addition to the usual worshippers.

Lu Miao went to the rear hall to see Lingxu Taoist, and Lin Bufan happened to be there as well. Rarely seeing her, he immediately pulled her over to draw various talismans such as Marriage Talisman and Safety Talisman.

He said these would be placed here, and if anyone prayed for help and received a response, it would attract even more people in the future.

“Oh, by the way, Mr. Hai from Jinghai Group contacted me. He said there were some issues at home and wanted to invite you to visit. The compensation is definitely not an issue. However, the Hai family is not in Luo City but in Jing City. I told him earlier that you weren’t convenient to go due to your studies, and I’ve already turned him down several times. But he contacted me again at noon, and since I happened to bump into you here, I thought I’d ask. Do you want to go visit them?”

Upon hearing that it was the weekend, Lu Miao suddenly remembered that she had promised to help Gu Ziheng record “Youth Trainee” this Sunday.

Due to the airplane incident and Gu Zhixing, she almost forgot about it.

“Alright, I happen to have some business in Jing City these two days. Send me his contact information, and after I’m done, I’ll go find them, ” Lu Miao agreed.

When she returned to Lingyue Manor, Gu Shiyan unexpectedly came back for dinner. He had changed his clothes and tidied his hair neatly, appearing as composed as usual, showing no signs of unhappiness.

Even though Lu Yinan didn’t particularly like him, he still got utensils for him. After serving Lu Miao’s meal, he smiled and placed it in front of her. “Sister, eat more. You’re too thin.”

Then he gave Gu Shiyan an irritated look and pushed his utensils toward him.

“Is Mr. Gu done with his affairs?” They had agreed that he would leave once Gu Shiyan’s matters were sorted out, and he wouldn’t bother Lu Miao anymore to let her make her own choice.

“Not yet,” Gu Shixuan said without any embarrassment.

Lu Yinan, using an oddly-toned voice, continued, “Mr. Gu really…”

Before he could finish his sentence, someone kicked him under the table.

Lu Yinan was instantly angry. Who dared to kick him?

“Well, Gu…

He received another kick on his leg.

About to stand up and confront Gu Shiyan directly, he looked up and saw Lu Miao giving him a stern look.

As Gu Zhixing’s survival was not something she could reveal at the moment, and Gu Shiyan was probably still feeling uneasy, she didn’t want Lu Yinan to say anything that might make the situation worse.

Lu Yinan blinked, so it was his little sister who kicked him?

The anger he had just felt was instantly suppressed. Forget it, forget it. If his little sister didn’t want him to say it, then he wouldn’t.

He smiled and picked up a piece of meat, enthusiastically saying, “Try this. It’s

Angus beef that I specially air-shipped from abroad.”

Next to Lu Yinan, Gu Shiyan lightly patted the side of his leg facing Lu Miao and couldn’t help but smile..
