652 Worry
Hearing this, Su Xiaolu’s ears were almost pricked up.
When she was born, the old man was already over 60 years old. Now, he was almost 80 years old.
In her memory, the old man had always been taciturn and had a proud and strange temper. He wasn’t nice to people he didn’t care about.
She knew that the old man was the successor of Minggu Medical Sect, but she knew nothing about the old man’s past.
After Old Wu finished complaining, Gui You said calmly, “Perhaps the girl didn’t mean anything at first. If you say too much, she’ll pay more attention to Li Yu. Li Yu isn’t a good match. If she really falls into his hands, the girl will suffer greatly. Therefore, we’ll do whatever the girl says. Don’t mention too much to prevent the girl from paying too much attention. We’ll leave after taking a look in the fog. Li Yu’s greatest enemy is here. He won’t leave.”
As long as they didn’t have the chance to meet in the future, everything would be resolved.
“Compared to Li Yu, I’m more worried about the other…”
Gui You frowned. Compared to Li Yu, Zhou Zhi worried him more.
Old Wu frowned. “What you say makes sense, but the girl doesn’t have much chance to meet him. Let’s work harder in the next few years. That person might get married in a few years. Sigh, raising a girl is really worrying.”
Zhou Zhi had indeed paid too much attention to the girl and they had even experienced life and death together. However, it didn’t matter. After all, he was from the royal family. Now that the spiritual energy had recovered, the emperor wouldn’t watch him die alone. When he got married, they wouldn’t have to worry.
“What’s there to worry about? Do you think everyone is your sister, ditching her own brother for a man?”
Gui You rolled his eyes and said coldly.
Old Wu sighed. “Who can understand the word ‘love’? I’m already so old, but I still have to experience the fusion of foreign lands and practice martial arts. I’m unfazed by whatever happens.”
If Su Xiaolu really went crazy for a man in the future, as a Master, apart from feeling heartache, he had no other choice.
“The girl won’t.”
Gui You’s tone was firm.
Old Wu glanced at him. “I’ll believe you this time.”
It had to be said that Gui You was a good judge of character. Since he was so sure, the girl he was worried about definitely wouldn’t be so irrational.
This was the best. This was the best.
When Su Xiaolu heard that her two Masters were so worried about her, she had many emotions in her heart. In her previous life, she had never met a man whom she loved to death.
However, she thought that even if she met someone she liked, she would not disregard the feelings of her family for him.
She believed that love and being loved were mutual. If the people she loved didn’t love her, then she didn’t want to love them. She couldn’t make so many people who loved her sad just because she loved someone.
The next day, Su Xiaolu picked up food for Gui You and Old Wu obediently.
“Did you do something wrong? You’re unaccountably solicitous. Do you understand?”
Old Wu looked at Su Xiaolu suspiciously.
Gui You also looked at Su Xiaolu.
Su Xiaolu thought about her eavesdropping last night and felt a little guilty. However, when she saw Old Wu’s white hair, she felt a lump in her throat and choked. “I just saw that Master’s hair is getting white. I want to treat the two Masters better. I hope you can eat more so that you can age slower.”
With the recovery of spiritual energy, the human physique had improved, but had the human lifespan also improved?
This was not clear. Old Wu was in good health, but he was in his seventies, almost 80 years old. He might be much stronger and healthier than old people his age, but he was still different from young people.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaolu actually wanted to cry.
Old Wu immediately flicked her forehead and said proudly, “You brat, you want me to die as soon as possible so that you can inherit the family business, right? Dream on. With my body, I still have another 50 years or so to live. At that time, you’ll be an old girl and not look any better.”
“You actually dare to despise Master for being old. Then why aren’t you quickly researching something good for beauty?”
Old Wu urged fiercely.
Gui You touched his face thoughtfully and said to Su Xiaolu calmly, “If you’re free, you can study it.”
Su Xiaolu was speechless.
In the past, he had never seen the two Masters care about looks.
“Good disciple, did you hear that? Master doesn’t want to become old anymore. Look at you. You’ve gotten rid of scars and cured the fox’s stench. Then it shouldn’t be a problem for you to make one’s appearance ageless, right? Remember, Master doesn’t want it to be too troublesome. It’s best if you make it into a pill and I take it internally. I don’t want the topical kind.”
Old Wu picked up a piece of meat for Su Xiaolu and smiled kindly. “Xiaolu, Master is relying on you to regain his youth.”
Gui You nodded and echoed calmly, “It’s feasible.”
Apart from agreeing, there was nothing Su Xiaolu could do.
She thought that her two Masters did not care about looks. It seemed that she did not know enough.
After breakfast, they went shopping again. They were almost done preparing. They would rest at the inn tonight and prepare to go to the fog the next day.
After returning to her room, Su Xiaolu entered the Space to look at Mantis Shrimp.
A small hole was bitten into the Interface Stone. Mantis Shrimp lay on the Interface Stone and licked it.
Su Xiaolu pulled it away. It was very unwilling to let go.
Su Xiaolu realized that the fur of Mantis Shrimp seemed to have dimmed a little. She looked at it again and again to confirm that it was really not as white as before.
The Interface Stone was black, and so was the big bear. Mantis Shrimp was white at first. After feeding it for so long, its fur had not changed.
Su Xiaolu looked at the Mantis Shrimp and muttered in disbelief, “No way, no way, no way. Did you eat the Interface Stone to grow up and become a black bear??”
“Wu wu wu yi yi—”
Mantis Shrimp twisted its body and kicked its legs.
Su Xiaolu hugged the Mantis Shrimp and rubbed it. She frowned and muttered to herself, “That shouldn’t be the case. If it’s eating the Interface Stone, wouldn’t it be a bad thing? If it eats the two worlds and causes fusion, wouldn’t it bring disaster? According to human thinking, this has to be a pest.”
Su Xiaolu did not know if it was right to raise such a thing.
It was really difficult for her to kill it now.
She poked the round Mantis Shrimp, and it flipped out its stomach.
Su Xiaolu sighed and muttered, “Forget it. It’s just a small stone. You won’t grow up much if you eat it. Why should I care so much? And this is just a guess. It’s not certain.”
If it could eat the Interface Stone, why was it killed so easily? That big bear was very powerful, but it was not invincible. Countless doubts appeared in Su Xiaolu’s heart. She sighed and played with Mantis Shrimp for a long time before leaving the Space.
No matter what creature it was, she couldn’t bear to throw it away after raising it. Just like the carp in the spiritual spring water. Every time she came in, she would take a look and couldn’t bear to eat it anymore.
