Chapter 16 : Gods kill Gods, ghosts kill ghosts<\/span><\/a><\/p>

In a private hospital with a quiet environment and tight security, Zhao PengYu lay quietly on a bed, looking as if he was asleep. The Zhao Family was in a crazed state. This hospital was theirs and the doctors here could be said to be second to none in the country. Still, they couldn\u2019t figure out what Zhao PengYu\u2019s illness was.<\/span><\/p>

Even Zhao PengYu\u2019s mother, a very powerful woman, was distraught at the moment. With a pale face, she said to her husband, \u201cIs there something wrong with the thing he picked up last night? I want to find a master to see if there\u2019s anything wrong with it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Her husband frowned. \u201cEven the doctors don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on. What\u2019s the use of looking for a master? Don\u2019t delay the treatment of our child with these mysterious practices and whatnot.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Mrs. Zhao pursed her lips and struggled to come up with an answer for a bit. Remaining focused on medical treatment was the logical thing to do, but for some reason, her intuition told her that the thing her son picked up last night was dirty and that there was definitely something wrong with it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

At this moment, a young nurse came up to them, holding something in her arms. Mrs. Zhao anxiously asked, \u201cNurse, did the doctor figure out the illness?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The young nurse respectfully said, \u201cThe doctors are still discussing it, and I believe they will have an answer soon. In addition\u2014,\u201d The nurse paused before handing them something wrapped in a white pillowcase. \u201cWe know that you\u2019re worried, but this kind of feudal superstition is really useless. We should believe in science.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Mrs. Zhao opened the wrapping with a puzzled expression before immediately turning to her husband, who was equally as surprised as her.<\/span><\/p>

It was that thick pouch of paper joss money! Their housekeeper had already thrown it away!<\/span><\/p>

When Zhao PengYu brought the pouch home last night, Mrs. Zhao had already felt that there was something wrong with it, so she had told the housekeeper to throw it away since it looked ominous. Maybe someone had wanted to sweep a tomb or something, and they dropped it in the rain. It was just that this joss paper money<\/a><\/span> looked so much like RMB bills<\/a><\/span> that Zhao PengYu mistook them for one. It was dark at that time too. But how could this paper money that had already been thrown away be here right now?<\/span><\/p>

Zhao ZhiFeng asked the nurse with a cold expression, \u201cNurse, where did you find this?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The young nurse saw the couple\u2019s faces and finally realized that something was unusual. She answered with a pale face, \u201cUnder Young Master Zhao\u2019s pillow.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Zhao ZhiFeng went to the bodyguard at the door and asked, \u201cWho went in yesterday?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The bodyguard shook his head and answered seriously, \u201cNo one was allowed to enter other than the doctors and nurses.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cCheck the surveillance cameras to see if there was anyone who snuck in!\u201d Zhao ZhiFeng commanded angrily.<\/span><\/p>

The result was\u2014 no one had!<\/span><\/p>

The couple looked at each other and saw the strangeness and severity of the situation in each other\u2019s eyes. After throwing it away last night, Zhao PengYu became feverish and was sent to the hospital. The doctor couldn\u2019t figure out what the illness was, and now, the pouch that their housekeeper had thrown away magically appeared under their son\u2019s pillow. Mrs. Zhao\u2019s expression sank and her hesitating mind turned firm. \u201cI\u2019ll find a master to take a look at him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Zhao ZhiFeng\u2019s expression was ugly, but he still had a hard time believing in such a supernatural occurrence. \u201cI think someone is deliberately playing a trick on us. Let\u2019s check first, and then we\u2019ll talk.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cLet\u2019s be as efficient as possible. We\u2019ll find a master to take a look, but we won\u2019t delay his treatment either,\u201d Mrs. Zhao refuted strongly. \u201cYou stay here and tell the doctors to quickly check on him. I\u2019ll go find a master.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Just like this, Mrs. Zhao invited more than a dozen masters by borrowing her father\u2019s name and contacts. After looking at Zhao PengYu\u2019s condition, all the masters shook their heads and said regretfully, \u201cHis soul has already engaged in a marriage bond. If we were to bring his soul back, it will inevitably injure his soul.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYes, there\u2019s no easy way to solve this. Even if we saved his life, his soul will be incomplete. He will either have severely diminished mental capabilities or be vegetative for the rest of his life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Mrs. Zhao trembled, and she took a deep breath before saying in a voice that still couldn\u2019t hide her tremor, \u201cEven if he becomes vegetative, it doesn\u2019t matter. Just save his life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The people looked at each other and could only try it with gritted teeth.<\/span><\/p>

Wang MingHai, a famous respected master in the metaphysics circle said, \u201cThere must be a medium for this sort of bond. Did the young master pick up something?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Mrs. Zhao tiredly pointed at the pouch full of joss paper money. \u201cHe picked up this pouch.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Wang MingHai\u2019s expression instantly turned ugly. \u201cThis object has a strong Yuan Qi [t\/n]<\/span>!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe Sha Qi [t\/n]<\/span> is too heavy!\u201d Other masters also followed with their eyes wide in shock.<\/span><\/p>

A female psychic-medium master was present and she suddenly felt a horrifying presence. Her body shivered, her complexion turned pale, and her features twisted in pain before falling to the ground. She then proceeded to scratch the floor with her nails, breaking them and bleeding all over the floor. The masters all around her were surprised, before the one nearest knocked her out with a hand chop<\/a><\/span> to her nape.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0All the masters\u2019 expressions changed, and Mrs. Zhao asked nervously, \u201cWhat happened?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cZuo Yun can sense and feel a ghost\u2019s experience at the time of their death,\u201d Wang MingHai said with an ugly expression. \u201cThe ghost died too painfully and their resentment is too heavy, so Zuo Yun was affected.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Wang MingHai took out a dagger made of copper coins<\/a><\/span>, bit his finger, and smeared his blood on the dagger before using all of his strength and stabbing the dagger upwards. After being stabbed a few times, the joss paper money on the table shook, and a black mist rose from it before rushing fiercely towards the copper coin dagger. Master Wang shook his hand and the dagger flew towards the black mist before being scattered by the force on the ground.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Wang MingHai\u2019s complexion turned as pale as paper.<\/span><\/p>

The other masters\u2019 expressions were grave. Their expertise was not suitable for this situation, and now that the Gui Qi<\/span> [t\/n] was so heavy in the daylight, they dared not act rashly.<\/span><\/p>

After seeing these masters off, Mrs. Zhao also invited other masters. But after hearing what happened to both Zuo Yun and Wang MingHai, they also didn\u2019t dare to act.<\/span><\/p>

During the next several days, Zhao PengYu was transferred to other hospitals three times. His family also invited some doctors from abroad, but he still didn\u2019t wake up. His parents were desperate. Noon on the third day, the doctors told them that if Zhao PengYu still couldn\u2019t wake up in the near future, then if he was lucky, he would forever remain in a vegetative state, but if he was not lucky, then his parents need to be mentally prepared.<\/span><\/p>

Mrs. Zhao finally broke down and burst into tears, covering her face with her hands. Her lips were bloody as she bit them. If it were possible, she would have used her own life as a substitute for her son\u2019s, but it was impossible!<\/span><\/p>

At this moment, Gu Ye was asking Xia Xiang with a smile on his face, \u201cMy lovely boy scout, have you ever lied?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Xia Xiang shook his head with a confused expression.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThen my lovely boy scout, will you come with me and be a messenger of justice to save the lost lamb on his way in the Yellow Springs<\/a><\/span>?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Xia Xiang was frightened by Gu Ye\u2019s gentle tone and also got goosebumps from it. His intuition told him that this matter wasn\u2019t a good one. \u201c…Tell me what you want me to do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye said in a serious manner, \u201cYou go to Teacher Yu and say I have a 40-degree fever and that I need to be excused from school for medical treatment. Stay out for a while and then go back to school and say that the doctor gave me an IV.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Xia Xiang: \u201c…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Ten minutes later, Xia Xiang took a taxi with Gu Ye to the hospital. Having been a good and obedient boy for the past eighteen years of his life, Mr. Yu had never doubted Xia Xiang and approved his request on the spot. Frowning guiltily, Xia Xiang asked in a whisper, \u201cIs Zhao PengYu really seriously ill? We should have come earlier.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye answered with a helpless tone, \u201cEven if we came earlier, we wouldn\u2019t necessarily be allowed to see him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

With his face, who would believe that he\u2019s a capable master? If he didn\u2019t make a good impression, he would be treated as a child playing around and be directly thrown out.<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye was right. After hearing the bodyguard reporting his arrival, Mrs. Zhao really didn\u2019t believe that Gu Ye could save Zhao PengYu. He was too young, after all. But right now, as long as there was a ray of hope, Mrs. Zhao would try anything. After someone brought Gu Ye in, Mrs. Zhao saw Gu Ye\u2019s appearance. He had red lips with shiny white teeth, and when he smiled, his peach blossom eyes were dazzlingly bright. This was not the image of a master.<\/span><\/p>

She sat beside her son\u2019s bed dejectedly and clutched Zhao PengYu\u2019s fingers before saying weakly, \u201cLittle Master, please take a look at him. The doctors said he won\u2019t live past tonight if he doesn\u2019t recover.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Zhao PengYu\u2019s face was pale and his lips were blue. His glabella was black with a faint red line, which was constantly emitting Sha Qi<\/span>. Gu Ye didn\u2019t say a word but instead took out a half-used incense stick<\/a><\/span> from his pouch and lit it. He then held it in between his two fingers and left it on Zhao PengYu\u2019s glabella where it stood steadily without any help.<\/span><\/p>

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao\u2019s eyes widened in surprise and she asked, \u201cThis is\u2026?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cSoul-summoning incense,\u201d Gu Ye answered with a smile. \u201cI knew that he would have a disaster prior to this, so I protected his soul with a talisman, and now, I\u2019m calling his soul back using this incense.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

As the incense burned, small amounts of ash fell, and the smoke was inhaled by Zhao PengYu through his nose as he breathed. After a few seconds, his breathing grew smoother, and even his lips regained their color.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Mrs. Zhao was so shocked that she didn\u2019t know what to say. Such a huge surprise had hit her when she was at her most desperate, and she didn\u2019t know how to react. She wanted to be happy, but she was afraid to be disappointed again. \u201cThis\u2014 Can he be saved? Can he really be saved?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye smiled. \u201cOf course. Gods kill Gods, ghosts kill ghosts. As long as I want to save him, no one else can do anything about it.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Mrs. Zhao stood up in her excitement and asked, \u201cHe won\u2019t lose his mind or become vegetative?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye was amused by this and said, \u201cOf course not. What rookies told you that? You should file a complaint against them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Mrs. Zhao covered her mouth while looking excitedly at Gu Ye. Those so-called \u201crookies\u201d were famous masters. Was Gu Ye really capable or was he just bragging, though? She didn\u2019t think she could stand another disappointment.<\/span><\/p>

Right at this moment, Gu Ye reached out and slapped Zhao PengYu on the forehead. \u201cWake up! It\u2019s time to eat. Teacher Yu is calling already!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Under Mrs. Zhao’s expectant gaze, Zhao PengYu opened his eyes. Before he could recover his thoughts, his mother had already rushed over and hugged him while sobbing, letting out all the despair and fear she felt during this whole ordeal. Zhao PengYu was a bit confused since he had never seen his mother crying so desperately like this before he finally reacted and comforted Mrs. Zhao. He then turned to Gu Ye and said emotionally, \u201cYou saved my life again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye smiled and said, \u201cThere are more things to do. Waking up doesn\u2019t mean this is over.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Mrs. Zhao, who had just called her husband, stood up and asked confusedly when she heard this, \u201cWhy is it not over?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye felt sorry for all the parents in the world. If he said even one word denying the rescue, Zhao PengYu\u2019s mother would collapse.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cDon\u2019t worry. Let\u2019s take this one step at a time.\u201d Gu Ye then asked, \u201cDid he pick up any suspicious objects? Take them out and let me have a look.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Mrs. Zhao quickly sent someone to fetch the pouch while Zhao PengYu pulled at the hem of Gu Ye\u2019s cloth. He was having a mental breakdown. \u201cI\u2019ve been having this dream where I\u2019ve married a wife and she has been chasing me ever since. I can\u2019t escape from her even after running to the ends of the Earth. You have to save me, Gu Ye. I\u2019m still a child!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye sneered. \u201cOh? Well, you <\/span>are<\/span><\/i> a giant child.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye said this so casually that Zhao PengYu almost cried. \u201cBe serious, ah, will you!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye pulled up a chair and sat with a very neat posture. \u201cSo, did you marry her?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Zhao PengYu quickly explained, \u201cNo, I was able to run away. If I didn’t play basketball all the time, I would have been caught by her!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye seriously asked, \u201cIs your wife beautiful?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0Zhao PengYu replied solemnly, \u201cNo idea. I was more focused on running away, so I didn\u2019t pay attention.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye couldn’t hold back his laughter and said happily, \u201cThat\u2019s a pity. Why didn\u2019t you take a look? Maybe she\u2019s beautiful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Only then did Zhao PengYu react. Gu Ye was teasing him with these questions. He got up from the bed and begged, \u201cGu Ye, no, Daddy Gu Ye, save me! I will really die this time!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Watching from the side, Mrs. Zhao finally cracked a smile while her tears were still flowing down. A ray of light had finally shone after these dark days.<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye ignored him and said, \u201cShe wanted a husband, so she posted the ads all around and you picked it up. You look good, your family\u2019s rich, you\u2019re at the right age, and you\u2019re also educated. She likes you and you have also received the betrothal gift<\/a><\/span>, what can <\/span>I<\/span><\/i> do?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Zhao PengYu became anxious. \u201cI didn\u2019t agree to it, ah! This is marriage fraud! I barely passed all of my exams! Educated, my ass!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye suddenly approached him and looked at his neck. There was a pink mark there, causing Gu Ye\u2019s expression to darken. \u201cDidn\u2019t you enter the bridal chamber with your wife? Didn\u2019t you already make children? Sorry, I can\u2019t help you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cNo! I\u2019m still a virgin, I swear!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye said with a tone full of implication, \u201cYou\u2026 You\u2019re such a waste.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Zhao PengYu: \u201c…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

What exactly did you want me to answer? You\u2019re just having fun at my expense!<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Having amused himself enough, Gu Ye said, \u201cOkay, I\u2019ll write down a list of some materials, please prepare them. The ghost you encountered is not a common one. Her Sha Qi is very strong, and it\u2019s going to take a lot of effort to solve it.\u201d Just as he finished saying this, the door opened and two people came in.<\/span><\/p>

One of them held a pouch. It was Zhao PengYu\u2019s father.<\/span><\/p>

The other wore a suit, was tall, stood with an upright posture, and had beautiful facial features. The mole on the outer corner of his left eye and his slightly anxious gaze softened his temperament a little, but he still exuded a sense of alienation. As soon as he showed up, Gu Ye was stunned because the aura of this man that no ghosts and deities dared to provoke was very similar to the God\u2019s son he had encountered on the evening of a certain scum\u2019s concert.<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye\u2019s eyes brightened. With him here, saving Zhao PengYu would be a piece of cake!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
