C7 The Master Who Disappeared

Lu residence.

It was late at night. Everyone had already fallen asleep, except for a figure standing in the dark corridor.

"There's no movement. It seems like he's really asleep."

Lu Shengsheng sneered and quietly pushed open Lu Qi's door.

The small gecko that was hiding in the glass bottle heard the movement and quickly became alert.

It used its small eyes to stare at the figure that was tip-toeing in the dark and refused to relax for a moment.

"A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin. He even sleeps so soundly."

Lu Shengsheng looked at the human-shaped blanket on the bed, her eyes full of resentment.

If not for Lu Qi, why would she be burned during the day?

If she wasn't scalded, how could she not participate in the dance competition?

Damn Lu Qi, she had to teach her a lesson!

He opened the jar in his hand.

There were more than ten caterpillars wriggling inside.

They were not fatal, but they were enough to scare a girl as timid as a mouse.

She lifted a corner of the blanket and prepared to pour them all inside.

However, a sharp pain suddenly came from the tip of her finger.

Focusing her eyes, she saw that it was a gecko.

Under the bright moonlight, the gecko's red skin seemed to emit a strange light.

Like fire, like fog.

A blood-curdling scream instantly resounded throughout the entire Lu residence.

"What happened?"

The couple from the Lu family put on their clothes and stood up.

When they arrived at Lu Qi's room, they saw Lu Shengsheng lying on the ground.

Her mouth was constantly foaming at the mouth.

Her right hand was also swollen like a pig's hoof.

Chen Yao was scared out of her wits.

"Shengsheng, what happened to you? Don't scare mother!"

Like her, Lu Qianyuan's expression was also not very good.

He held his phone and was about to call 120 when he heard an imposing voice behind him.

"Move aside!"

Looking over, it was Lu Qi.

She glanced at Lu Shengsheng and picked up the small jar on the ground. Her face was extremely gloomy.

"Not sleeping in the middle of the night, running to my room to play this kind of trick. Heh, this is your obedient daughter!"

Lu Qianyuan originally wanted to help Lu Shengsheng defend herself.

But when he saw the squirming caterpillars in the jar, he could not say anything.

Creak. Creak - -

A gecko crawled out from under Lu Shengsheng.

"Are you scared?"

Lu Qi lowered her head and asked the little gecko in a low voice.

The little gecko nodded obediently and then bared its teeth at Lu Shengsheng who was lying on the ground, as if saying that she deserved it.

"It was this little thing that caused Shengsheng to be like this? Hmph, see if I don't stomp it into minced meat!"

As Chen Yao spoke, she wanted to step on the foot that was wearing slippers.

Lu Qi lightly raised her eyebrows and a trace of viciousness faintly appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"So, you don't want to save your obedient daughter anymore?"

Chen Yao was stunned and hesitated for a moment.

In the end, she still put down her feet.

Although Lu Shengsheng was only an adopted daughter, she had a very good relationship with the couple.

No matter what, she could not bear to let Lu Shengsheng be in trouble.

"Qi, don't mind. Your mother is straightforward. She did not do it on purpose."

Lu Qi frowned. Her expression was lazy and cold.

"You don't need to apologize to me. Just tell it."

Her slender and fair fingers gently caressed the back of the little gecko as if she was comforting a frightened child.

"I... I'm sorry..." In order to save Lu Shengsheng, Chen Yao had no choice but to pull down her old face.

The little lizard slightly raised its head and with a face full of pride, it paced back and forth on Lu Qi's palm. It seemed to be a little unwilling.

"Don't be naughty."

Lu Qi lightly patted the little gecko and the little gecko immediately became obedient.

"Water."

At this time, the servants had already fallen asleep. Chen Yao could only personally pour a bowl of clear water over.

Lu Qi went back to her room to get some things. After the water melted, she fed all of them to Lu Shengsheng.

"Qi, this... What is this? "Lu Qianyuan asked in a low voice.

Lu Qi did not even raise her head, "The poop of the little gecko."

An indescribable atmosphere instantly froze in the air.

After all, it was very hard for most people to accept eating the poop of some animals.

However, the effect of the excrement was quite good.

Lu Shengsheng drank it for less than ten minutes and gradually woke up.

The swelling on her hand was also slowly dissipating.

"I... What happened to me? Why is my mouth so bitter?" Lu Shengsheng asked with a blank expression.

The couple from the Lu family looked at each other, wondering if they should tell her that she drank some kind of animal excrement just now.

"This is a lesson. If there is a next time, I will not be so lucky!"

After Lu Qi finished speaking, she carried the little gecko back to her room.

She settled the little gecko down and sat in front of the desk.

On it was the cup of milk tea that Mo Shihan had given her earlier.

She touched her stomach.

She was not full anymore. She could drink it now.

She inserted the straw and took a small sip.

Mm, the taste was not bad. It was much better than what her senior brother bought!

Mo family's old residence.

"Master Han is back?" As soon as Mo Shihan got out of the car, a servant welcomed him.

"How is Grandma?"

"Madam, she... she's not in a good condition. Today... She hasn't even woken up once today."

Mo Shihan's expression sank when he heard this.

During this period of time, although Old Lady Mo was seriously ill, she would basically wake up two or three times a day.

But now, she did not wake up even once.

Without a doubt, Old Lady Mo's condition had already begun to worsen.

"Mo Yi."

Mo Shihan called out in a deep voice and saw a man in black quickly walking forward.

"Master Han."

"Is that master online?"

Mo Yi lowered his head. "No."

Mo Shihan did not look too good.

More than a week ago, they had already transferred the money into the arcane master's account.

But not only did the other party not come to help Old Lady Mo diagnose and treat her, even her person had gone missing.

Truly detestable!

"Pass on my order. Immediately search for the information of capable people from all over the world. As long as you can cure grandma, no matter if you are a master or not, my Mo family is willing to thank you at three times the market price!"

Mo Yi was secretly shocked.

Three times?

That was a huge reward, enough for an ordinary person to use for a few lifetimes.

If he could cure the madame, that would be fine.

But if he couldn't...

Mo Yi did not dare to think too much about it. He answered in a low voice and immediately went to do it.

Mo Shihan slowly walked into Old Lady Mo's room and sat beside the bed.

As the maid said, Old Lady Mo's complexion today was indeed much worse than before. It was as if water had been removed from her body, and her entire person was withered beyond recognition.

"Master Han..."

The maid seemed to have something to say, but she stopped herself.

Mo Shihan put his slender fingers into the basin and soaked the towel with hot water. He began to personally wipe Old Lady Mo's face.

"What is it?"

His voice was not loud, but it had an invisible majesty that made people not dare to offend him.

The maid said timidly, "This... this morning, Second Master and the others came. They said... rather than letting the madame continue to waste time like this, it would be better to give up the treatment."

"They dare!"

Mo Shihan shouted, and the air seemed to freeze in an instant.

The maid was so scared that she fell to her knees.

"Yes... It was Second Master and the others who said so. No... It's none of my business."

Of course, Mo Shihan knew that this had nothing to do with a mere servant.

However, the second room of the Mo family dared to say such words. It must be because they did not care about completely falling out with him.

"Remember, from today onwards, without my permission, no one is allowed to take a step into this room!"

"Yes... Yes."

Mo Shihan was in a bad mood.

He put away the towel and threw it into the basin. He was about to walk out with his long legs.

He glanced at Madam Mo's face out of the corner of his eye.

There was a thread-like thing wriggling slowly under her skin.

One, one, one, one.

It was as if it had a life of its own.

This is...

Mo Shihan narrowed his eyes. He wanted to look at it again, but found that the piece of skin was completely undamaged. There were no abnormalities at all.

Could it be that he was wrong just now?
