Mei Shuyu feigned madness convincingly. After so many years, his greatest skill had always been to fool others. Pretending to be insane and acting the fool came naturally to him at this moment.
Hai Wang looked at Mei Shuyu, sizing him up for a long while before speaking the blunt truth, "Mister Mei, the Gu insect within my granddaughter's body has disappeared, and her martial arts are completely gone. Do you know what happened?"
Mei Shuyu looked at Hai Wang in confusion, "What Gu insect?"
Hai Wang couldn't admit it was for harvesting, thinking that if he did, Mei Shuyu would surely react violently—who would be happy about being harvested by a woman? So, he only said, "You know, we in Nanjiang pass down the legacy with the Gu and cultivate our abilities with it. Qinqin has been nurturing a Gu insect inside her since she was a child, but now it's gone."
