Chapter 338: Do You Know What a Blood Curse Is?
As Yang Yinhou silently shook his head at Ge Dongxu, Ge Dongxu also regarded him, his calm exterior concealing a tumult of emotions.
Because he sensed a familiar aura emanating from Yang Yinhou.
"Master Yang, his surname is Yang! Could he still be alive?" Ge Dongxu wondered to himself, then bowed to Yang Yinhou, saying, "I have seen Elder Mr. Yang."
He did not use the same honorific for Yang Yinhou as Gu Yezeng and the others.
Because if this person was who he suspected in his mind, it would be improper for him to call him Master Yang.
Otherwise, given Yang Yinhou's age, it would have been quite normal for Ge Dongxu to address him as Master Yang.
No one realized there was anything amiss with Ge Dongxu's form of address.
Yang Yinhou didn't find it inappropriate either but simply nodded at Ge Dongxu and said, "For those in cultivation, it's good to have such kindness. However, you are too young. It's fine to observe, but do not meddle with the evil arts inside the child."
"Thank you for the reminder, Elder Mr. Yang. I will just take a look and won't mess around," Ge Dongxu replied humbly. Seeing that Yang Yinhou meant well with his advice, he naturally wouldn't arrogantly contradict him.
"Mm," Yang Yinhou nodded, then fell silent again.
Ge Dongxu bowed again to Yang Yinhou, then turned his attention to the beautiful young wife.
At this glance, Ge Dongxu couldn't help but be slightly startled because he recognized the beautiful young woman in front of him. She was a true leading actress within the Chinese community, having starred in several classic movies and TV dramas, reputable and understated, with hardly any scandals. Ge Dongxu had watched several of her movies in his youth and she was one of the rare actresses whose name he remembered well.
Yu Xin!
However, when Ge Dongxu was in high school, she had already faded from the entertainment industry. He didn't expect to encounter her here, and even more unexpectedly, she was married to the Master Gu in front of him.
Being no ordinary person, Ge Dongxu was only momentarily taken aback, then regarded the celebrity of the Chinese community with equanimity.
"Could you please lay the child on the sofa," Ge Dongxu asked.
"Thank you for your trouble," Yu Xin replied, wiping tears from the corner of her eyes, as she carefully placed the child on the sofa.
"You're welcome," Ge Dongxu said politely, then placed his hand on the child's wrist.
"Five Poisons Descent!" His fingers touched the child, and Ge Dongxu's expression quickly turned cold, his eyes flashing with a chilly murderous intent, as the cold words burst from his teeth.
"Not bad, young man, you've got quite an eye!" Upon hearing this, Yang Yinhou's face showed a mix of surprise and approval.
"And the Blood Curse!" Ge Dongxu continued coldly.
At these words, Yang Yinhou's body shook slightly, and his eyes now showed not surprise but shock.
The Blood Curse, had he not been careless before and made presumptions, he could have detected it earlier, instead of finding it only after attempting to dispel the Five Poisons Descent in the boy, which triggered the Blood Curse. And yet Ge Dongxu was able to sense the Blood Curse from the beginning, clearly demonstrating that this young man's cultivation was anything but simple.
Of course, this did not mean that Ge Dongxu's cultivation surpassed Yang Yinhou's. Once the Blood Curse had been triggered, it would have been essentially exposed. Before the Blood Qi had completely recondensed, anyone who came after would find it easier to detect, but even so, in Yang Yinhou's view, it was still very impressive.
At least without the Qi Cultivation Third Layer cultivation, it would be very difficult to detect.
In an era where Daoist practices had declined, the Qi Cultivation Third Layer was already barely considered a master. For example, the master of Li Bisheng from the Special Management Bureau, and that Director Lin, both were leading figures in the Bureau, and although they were of advanced age, they only had Qi Cultivation Third Layer and had not yet reached the Fourth Layer.
And Ge Dongxu, who seemed to be at most twenty years old, already had Qi Cultivation Third Layer. How could that not shock Yang Yinhou?
"You can actually discern the Five Poisons Descent and Blood Curse, truly a fearsome young talent!" Yang Yinhou took a while to calm his emotions before he praised.
"Then, Mr. Ge, can you break the Five Poisons Descent and Blood Curse? Please, save my son!" Yu Xin, who had almost lost all hope, suddenly grasped at Ge Dongxu's arm like a drowning person clutching at a straw, her eyes brimming with hope and pleading.
"Yu Xin, don't trouble this young man anymore. It's impressive enough that he could identify the Five Poisons Descent and Blood Curse. If he really tried to treat it, it might instead harm your son," Yang Yinhou said with a bitter smile, seeing her reaction.
"Is that true, Mr. Ge?" Yu Xin was unwilling to give up this last hope, looking at Ge Dongxu with tears streaming down her face.
"It's not true, don't worry, I can break the Five Poisons Descent and Blood Curse," Ge Dongxu reassured.
Having received the answer she was seeking, Yu Xin didn't burst into ecstasy; instead, her complexion turned pale, and her eyes filled with the colors of pain. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire
Could she trust Ge Dongxu?
Could she allow her son to take this risk?
"Young man, do you know what a Blood Curse is? Are these words to be said lightly? Do you know what the consequences of failure would be?" Yang Yinhou's face turned cold in an instant, and his gaze towards Ge Dongxu became icy.
"Master Yang, Mr. Ge is just trying to help," Gu Yezeng stepped forward and said cautiously.
"It's your son, make your own choice! Anyway, you have to make a choice sooner or later," Yang Yinhou sighed and spoke soberly. However, his gaze at Ge Dongxu remained cold and ruthless.
Gu Yezeng's choice was one thing, but for a cultivator to disregard the life of a little boy was another matter entirely.
At this, Gu Yezeng's face immediately showed an expression of pain.
Choices, if he had the chance to choose, he would rather not have this choice at all!
Feeling the icy and ruthless gaze from Yang Yinhou, Ge Dongxu not only wasn't annoyed, but a trace of joy appeared on his face.
Originally, even if he had suspicions in his heart, he had planned to investigate secretly before deciding whether to reveal his identity. But now, he had no more doubts.
Because the old man's attitude inadvertently showed his true feelings.
"Elder Yang, not everything should be seen as absolute. Just because you can't, doesn't mean I can't. If you don't believe, we could have a little exchange," Ge Dongxu said calmly, looking at Yang Yinhou.
"Mr. Ge!" Gu Yezeng, shocked by these words, exclaimed anxiously, repeatedly signaling Ge Dongxu with his eyes.
Others might not know Yang Yinhou's identity and abilities, but Gu Yezeng was very clear about them.
Whether it was his identity or his cultivation, neither was something a young man should provoke!
However, it seemed as if Ge Dongxu hadn't heard Gu Yezeng calling out, nor did he see the signals he was making. Instead, he just looked at Yang Yinhou with an undisturbed expression.
Seeing this, Gu Yezeng couldn't help but become even more anxious. He wanted to speak again, but at that moment, Yang Yinhou gestured for him to stop.
Gu Yezeng had no choice but to stamp his feet in frustration, then moved next to Yang Yinhou and whispered cautiously, "Master Yang, you see..."
"It's okay. Sometimes it's good for young people to suffer a little; otherwise, they might never learn how vast the world is," Yang Yinhou interrupted.
On hearing this, Ge Dongxu was not upset, but simply smiled faintly.
