Everyone had apologized to Qin Yi, except for Lan Tianji, who remained cold and indifferent.
"Hey, Tian Ji, it’s your turn." Qin Yi wasn’t about to forget him.
Qin Yi realized that lately, he seed to have beco more petty, retaliating against even the smallest slights, adding another excellent trait to his character.
Lan Tianji looked at Qin Yi with a blank expression.
"Don’t pretend to be a stone man, as long as you’re breathing, you owe an apology. You were the one who yelled the loudest just now."
Lan Tianji turned his head, too disdainful to respond to Qin Yi.
Lan Wangxu said, "Tianji, apologize to Qin Yi."
Lan Tianji frowned, looking uncomfortable.
"What, you don’t even listen to your master anymore? Think you can spread your wings and fly?" Lan Wangxu said in a deep voice.
Lan Tianji walked over, looked at Qin Yi with a blank expression, and said, "I’m sorry, I apologize to you, satisfied now?"
"Well, whether you apologize is irrelevant, the key is you still owe the ten billion you lost in our bet." Qin Yi grinned like a little fox.
"Ten billion, what ten billion?" Lan Wangxu asked curiously.
Qin Yi laughed, "Just now downstairs, this Four-eyed Field Frog bet with , saying if I could cure you, he’d give ten billion. I scolded him on the spot for gambling on your life, Lan Lao, but he called a coward, so I had no choice but to agree."
Lan Tianji shot a fierce look at Qin Yi, a flash of killing intent on his face.
Qin Yi raised an eyebrow, this guy has shown killing intent twice toward now, so young and yet so murderous?
Everyone had strange expressions, but they were used to Qin Yi’s shalessness.
But this ti, no one blad Qin Yi, as the old master usually treated Lan Tianji a bit too well. The guy always wore an expression like others owed him money, which everyone found annoying for a long ti.
Lan Wangxu furrowed his brows tightly, unexpected that his favorite closed-door disciple would gamble with his life’s outco, and on such a large scale?
"Grandpa, this is a misunderstanding, Tianji brother didn’t say that." Lan Jiaojiao hurriedly explained on behalf of Lan Tianji.
Lan Wangxu said calmly, "A man’s word is his bond. If this is true, the money must be given to Qin Yi."
Qin Yi was startled, ten billion, this old guy is truly sothing, he’s really going to give it.
"Grandpa, it’s really a misunderstanding, Qin Yi was joking." Lan Jiaojiao glared at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi didn’t want to overdo it either, lest Lan Jiaojiao expose him, he had actually thrown a lot of bla onto others earlier, and it wouldn’t look good to be exposed.
Lan Jiaojiao, this silly girl, seems to like Lan Tianji, fine, I’ll give her so face.
"Lan Lao, it was just a joke, don’t take it seriously." Qin Yi said with a smile.
Lan Wangxu nodded slightly, glanced at Lan Tianji, a hint of disappointnt flashing in his eyes.
"Jiaojiao, go close the doors."
Lan Jiaojiao was puzzled but still went over and closed the door.
Qin Yi said, "Lan Lao, the matter ahead is your family affair, I think I’ll step aside for now."
"No need, my life was saved by you, what do I have to hide from you? Besides, I still need your help with this matter." Lan Wangxu replied.
Qin Yi shrugged, since the host didn’t mind, he might as well stay and watch the show.
Lan Wangxu looked sternly at everyone, his gaze making everyone’s back tingle.
"Aren’t you all curious why I suddenly fell ill? Actually, I wasn’t sick, soone placed a Gu on ."
Everyone was shocked.
Qin Yi slowly extended his hand, and a golden beetle appeared before everyone.
"The Blood Immortal Poisonous Insect, this thing must have been in my body for a few years. It was this tiny insect that nearly cost my life. You are all family to , and I want to ask, who would do this to ?" Lan Wangxu’s voice carried a hint of sadness.
Everyone’s face changed dramatically, instinctively looking at the others around them.
"Dad, you an the person who placed the Gu is among us?" Lan Xingye asked in astonishnt.
Lan Wangxu nodded slowly.
"Who is it? Who used such a vicious ans?" Lan Xingye shouted furiously.
"Don’t let find out who it is, or I’ll kill them!" Lan Xingwang roared.
Lan Jiaojiao said, "Grandpa, could there be a mistake, maybe it was soone from outside?"
This place was full of Lan family mbers; she really didn’t want to believe anyone among them could be so cruel.
Lan Wangxu shook his head, "I once read in an ancient book that the Blood Immortal Poisonous Insect is also called the Mother-child Gu. The one in my body is the child Gu. The mother-child Gu cannot be separated for too long; otherwise, the child Gu will die if not returned to the mother within forty-eight hours. So, it cannot be soone from outside, because the mother Gu has to be nearby to keep the child Gu alive."
Lan Jiaojiao’s face turned pale, so the person who placed the Gu must be close to Grandpa.
"Could it be a servant?" Lan Jiaojiao still didn’t want to believe it; although her uncles were greedy, placing a Gu on Grandpa was simply inhumane.
Qin Yi smiled, "Why not just ask the child Gu? When it leaves the host, it will die within three hours. To survive, it must return to the mother Gu."
With those words, Qin Yi released the child Gu from his hand.
Everyone stared intently at the flying golden beetle.
But in the next second, everyone’s face changed dramatically, especially Lan Jiaojiao, because the child Gu flew straight to Lan Tianji, landed on his shoulder, and chirped.
"It’s you?" Lan Xingwang pointed at Lan Tianji, roaring.
Lan Wangxu staggered a few steps, his gaze frozen.
Lan Jiaojiao was the most shocked, disbelief written all over her face.
"Tsk tsk, turns out you really aren’t a good bird." Qin Yi said with a smirk. He had been puzzled earlier about why he was inexplicably repulsed by Lan Tianji’s aura, and now it seed this aura ca from the mother Gu.
Lan Tianji looked at Qin Yi with a blank expression, a murderous intent brewing in his eyes.
"So it was really you, you bastard, my dad treated you so well, and you hard him, you ingrate."
"Beast, hasn’t the old master been good to you? Are you even human?"
The Lan family mbers glared at Lan Tianji, cursing in rage.
"It must be a mistake. How could Tianji brother harm Grandpa? He’s always been filial." Lan Jiaojiao said, her face full of disbelief, suddenly looked up at Lan Tianji, "Tianji brother, you must explain, this is a misunderstanding, isn’t it?"
"Aren’t you being a fool? Even if you like soone, you should distinguish between good and bad, right? This guy is clearly no good." Qin Yi said languidly.
"Shut up!" Lan Jiaojiao yelled at Qin Yi.
"Uh..." Qin Yi rubbed his nose. He’s so annoying himself, provoking this woman at this mont, for what?
Lan Tianji took out a small black gourd from his pocket, opened the seal, and the golden child Gu flew straight into the gourd.
At this point, there’s no need for further confirmation. Lan Tianji’s actions have already proven he was the one behind this.
Lan Jiaojiao’s body swayed lightly, her face ghastly pale, her eyes flooded with disappointnt.
