Mrs. Liu rushed forward and grabbed my wrist, her face solemn.
Seeing her like this, I felt even more uneasy.
"Am I poisoned? Am I going to die soon?" I quickly grabbed Mrs. Liu's hand and asked.
"That should not be the case... Anyway, when I smell that stuff, I feel dizzy and can't stand it. I can't even maintain my human form." Mrs. Liu said hurriedly.
"Ah?" After hearing Mrs. Liu's words, my heart was in my throat.
"I didn't expect Liu Chunjiao to be so ruthless. Isn't this clearly a case of harming the enemy by a thousand but losing eight hundred to herself? She is now completely focused on avenging her husband and won't listen to anything." Xiaohua's face also looked rather grim as she quickly scolded.
Mrs. Liu looked at me, full of worry: "Do you feel any discomfort?"
I was extremely aggrieved. Nominally, I came with Gu Yuan to visit relatives, but now I ended up getting poisoned.
"I don't feel any discomfort. Instead, I feel much more clear - headed."
They were all surprised and quickly asked me to lie on the kang. They all found my current reaction extremely strange.
It wasn't until Gu Yuan pushed the door open and came in from outside. Seeing them looking at me like I was a monster, he quickly asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Sister - in - law just inhaled sulfur. Is sister - in - law going to die?" Worry was written all over Xiaohua's beautiful face.
After hearing this, Gu Yuan's wrinkled eyebrows gradually relaxed.
"She's not a snake. Sulfur can't harm her."
Mrs. Liu suddenly realized and said, "Look at us. We're all so stupid. She's different from us. She's not a snake fairy, so of course she's not afraid of sulfur."
Hearing that I was okay, I heaved a heavy sigh of relief and got up from the kang. I was really scared by them.
"Gu Yuan, have you found Liu Chunjiao?" I asked.
"She got away." After Gu Yuan answered, his gaze shifted to Grandpa Liu San. At this moment, Grandpa Liu San seemed to know nothing. He was squatting beside the chair, staring intently at the chair while rubbing it.
"If the chair pricks your butt, it needs to be repaired properly."
His words seemed casual, but there was a subtle undertone.
Although Liu Chunjiao was a snake fairy, in terms of cultivation, she was far inferior to Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan was no ordinary person. There weren't many people in the world who could escape from under his nose.
Liu Chunjiao's ability to escape must have been intentional, and this person was none other than Grandpa Liu San, who was scraping at the chair in the main hall.
"Grandpa San..." Brother Liu also noticed that Grandpa Liu San's reaction was strange. He called out to Grandpa Liu San. Before he could finish his sentence, Grandpa Liu San had already sat back on the chair impatiently and waved his hand continuously.
"Alright, alright, alright... Shut up. I don't want to hear you talk."
"Old man, it seems you've had enough of being an upper - level immortal. Do you want to go to the underworld and become a ghost immortal?" Gu Yuan sternly scolded Grandpa Liu San.
Brother Liu and the others knew that Grandpa Liu San doted on Gu Yuan, but they didn't expect Gu Yuan to speak so offensively to him.
Grandpa Liu San slapped the chair, and the chair legs fell apart immediately. The old man plopped down on the ground.
Just as everyone was about to step forward to help him, he raised his hand to stop them. He got up on his own and sat on another chair, shouting angrily, "Gu Yuan, what are you talking about?"
Seeing that Grandpa San was angry, Brother Liu quickly came to Gu Yuan's rescue and said, "Grandpa San, please calm down. Brother Three is just too worried. This matter is of great importance. If Liu Chunjiao really causes trouble, it may really implicate the entire hall."
Grandpa Liu San originally just wanted to scare Gu Yuan, but he didn't expect Brother Liu to also disagree with him.
"So what if she causes trouble? It's clearly the Ling family who are bullying others. Why should our Liu family suffer?"
The old man was so hot - tempered at his age that just a few words left Brother Liu speechless.
But Gu Yuan was a discerning person. Although Grandpa Liu San didn't want the people in the hall to be wronged, he couldn't use the entire hall as a bet.
"Grandpa Liu San, are you going to stop her or not?" Gu Yuan took a step forward. A cold light flashed in his eyes. The imposing aura of a king made Grandpa San quickly avert his gaze after just one look.
"I'll ask the eldest one to stop her. Don't worry." Grandpa Liu San finally relented.
Upon receiving the order, Brother Liu disappeared in a flash.
"Brother, wait for me. I'll go too." Xiaohua couldn't wait any longer and quickly chased after Brother Liu.
Gu Yuan took another step forward. Grandpa Liu San immediately hid behind the chair and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Gu Yuan glanced at Grandpa Liu San with his cold eyes and continued, "I don't want to do anything. When Liu Chunjiao got married back then, were you the wedding witness? Do you still have Ping Fan's birth date?"
After hearing Gu Yuan's words, Grandpa Liu San heaved a sigh of relief. He came out from behind the chair, straightened his collar, and sat back down.
"You scared this old man to death." The reason Grandpa Liu San was afraid of Gu Yuan was that he knew exactly who Gu Yuan was.
I'm afraid no one in the Liu family except him knew Gu Yuan's true identity.
"You all disperse. I'll take Gu Yuan to get Ping Fan's birth date."
When the other members of the Liu family heard Grandpa Liu San's words, they all left the room one after another.
Mrs. Liu patted my shoulder, wanting to take me out with her.
"Sister - in - law, let her stay." Gu Yuan said politely.
Mrs. Liu nodded and pushed the door open to leave.
At the same time, Grandpa Liu San was already holding a marriage certificate in his hand. This was the marriage certificate of Liu Chunjiao and Ping Fan, with their birth dates on it.
It was only at this moment that I realized that there were birth dates on the marriage certificate. When I got married to Gu Yuan, he also gave my parents a marriage certificate. I just disliked it at that time and never bothered to look at the content of the marriage certificate.
I must take a good look at it some other day. It should also have Gu Yuan's birth date on it.
Just as I was thinking, Gu Yuan had already taken the marriage certificate and said to me, "Let's go."
I pulled myself out of my thoughts and quickly asked, "Where are we going?"
"The underworld."
"Ah?" I was stunned for two seconds, thinking Gu Yuan was joking.
"What's wrong? Scared?" Gu Yuan asked calmly.
"As long as you're with me... I'm not afraid of anything."
Gu Yuan didn't say anything else. He grabbed my shoulder with one hand and turned into a silver light, disappearing inside the bungalow.
It wasn't until he brought me to the entrance of the Ghost Gate. This was a place that was both familiar and strange to me.
I remembered that the last time I came here was to recall Yan Lin's soul. However, this time when I came, Yan Lin and I were already separated by life and death.
Gu Yuan stood in front of the Ghost Gate. He took out a seal from his hand and stamped it on the gate.
I recognized this seal. It was the seal that the White Impermanence had lost at that time.
"How did this seal end up in your hands again?" I asked Gu Yuan curiously.
