Panic gripped the people of the ancient martial arts world. Those who were once loyal to Jiang Tong were starting to lose their minds. However, Jiang Shuxuan and Gu Xiqiao had already left this place. The elders paid Shu Chen a visit but they were briefly turned away when she saw their pale faces.

“These people have too high hopes.” Shu Chen put down her teacup. A sneer appeared on her face. “It was only a few days ago that they accused my daughter-in-law of being the source of calamity for our world. Now they’re here to beg for her mercy? Do they seriously think her forgiveness is of such a low value?!”

The butler, standing not far away, put down the phone. “Madam, Master’s on the line.”

“Jiang Han?” Shu Chen immediately got up from her seat and hurried over to pick up the phone.

Upon realizing that their plan involving Shu Chen had failed miserably, the elders headed for the Elders Pavilion, in search of advice from the great elder. “O Great Elder, Mister Zhu has told us that the only person who could save our grandchildren is Miss Gu! Please, we are in dire need of your help!”

The elders have been running around in search of help for the past few days. Exhausted, tears continued streaming down their cheeks no matter how embarrassing the situation seemed.

The great elder felt conflicted about this. He didn’t care about the affairs Gu Xiqiao was involved in and Jiang Shuxuan was still pissed off about the ancient martial arts world. “You’re saying that Miss Gu can help heal your grandchildren? Didn’t the healer from yesterday say that the evil aura has already been compressed their organs? That even the Saint Healer Daluo couldn’t improve their condition?”

“Mister Zhu is a disciple of Divine Doctor Rong. His words are not to be doubted.” The possible outcomes didn’t matter to them. Gu Xiqiao had already become the last straw of hope which these elders were clinging onto.

Dubhe, who had just paid Jiang Tong a “visit”, came walking in. He pulled out a pure white handkerchief to wipe the bloodstains off his hands. He glanced at the elders, who were in the middle of a discussion. “You’re saying that she can save your grandchildren?” Since the dreaded evil aura had already merged with their regular chi, even he couldn’t do anything to help the poor souls.

And these people were saying that Gu Xiqiao could save their lives?

The great elder bowed his head and endured the heavy pressure. “Master Dubhe, that was what we heard from Mister Zhu.”

“Very well, I will help look for her.” Dubhe glanced at these elders one final time before leaving the Elders’ Pavilion.

Everyone at the Elders’ Pavilion let out a sigh of relief when Dubhe finally left the place. “I hope Master Dubhe can persuade Miss Gu into helping us.”

“Don’t get your hopes up.” The great elder responded bluntly. “Do not forget the things that you lot have done.”

He left the place immediately upon reminding them of that. The rest of the elders remained standing there, with the same dumbfounded look on their faces. Again, the feeling of regret overwhelmed them. It felt as if someone had plunged a knife into their heart and twisted it around. Oh how much they wanted to dig up Jiang Tong, who was incarcerated in her underground prison cell, and tear her flesh off her bones!

In the Capital, in the little district next to A University.

Gu Xiqiao was analyzing a map on the sofa. Cheng Zhou had called and told her that the movie screening was happening tonight. He had even sent ten movie tickets over, for a viewing session at midnight.
