Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

Standing beside Han Luo, Jing Shu clearly sensed that his master was angry.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I really don't know." Seeing that Han Luo was really angry, Gu Yue quickly explained, "I picked up that man, and he doesn't remember anything. I usually call him Da Bai. Suddenly one day he disappeared, and then I found out that I was pregnant..." Gu Yue's voice lowered unconsciously, and she became less and less confident as she spoke.

"So, you asked me to come and give you a gift of money?" Han Luo mocked her.

Gu Yue laughed upon hearing this, "No, how could I dare?" The baby girl in her arms was already fast asleep, and Gu Yue gently placed her on the bed.

“However, I called you here to entrust my son to you,” Gu Yue said calmly.

Han Luo frowned. "You've become stupid after having a child?"

"I'm not kidding, I'm about to die."

Han Luo released Jing Shu's hand, placed it on Gu Yue's shoulder, and used her spiritual power to examine her body.

"Your spiritual energy is depleted, your meridians are severely damaged, your vital energy is almost gone, and your organs are nearly failing. I'm very curious, how did you get yourself into this state?" Han Luo withdrew his hand and sneered. His expression became even colder, and the temperature around him seemed to drop several degrees.

A warm little hand grasped Hanluo's slightly cool hand. Hanluo turned around and looked at Jingshu, who was slightly worried, and barely managed to calm herself down.

“It’s probably because of the child’s father. From the moment she was born, she plundered all my spiritual power and most of my life force. Such a strange thing can only be caused by her father himself.” Gu Yue sighed helplessly. “If you had come a few days later, I probably would have left a will. Han Luo, this is the first and last time I’m begging you to take good care of her for me.”

Han Luo snorted coldly, "First time? I even helped you set up this maze."

Gu Yue smiled. To Han Luo, not refusing was tantamount to agreeing.

"Knowing how to form formations is nothing special, you're still a hopeless alchemist," Gu Yue retorted, then handed Han Luo a spatial ring.

"Child support, various prescriptions and medicines, and things left for my precious daughter are all in here."

Taking advantage of Jing Shu's inattention, Gu Yue pinched his little cheek and said with satisfaction, "Your master and senior brother are not good at alchemy. When you start cultivating, ask your master for those things. There are also various experiences and theoretical knowledge about alchemy that I wrote myself. They are definitely more useful than those ancient books. It would be good if you learned them. If you can't learn them, I'll keep them for Meng'er. My daughter is sure to be good at alchemy."

Jing Shu was somewhat stunned. The things she gave him, let alone in modern times, might be rare treasures even here.

After hesitating for a long time, Jing Shu finally said, "Thank you."

Gu Yue chuckled, "Just call me Aunt Gu. You're so beautiful, how about becoming my son-in-law?"

"Thank you, Aunt Gu, but matters of the heart can't be forced. I'm still young," Jing Shu quickly refused. He was already in his twenties; asking him to like a little kid? That was absurd!

Gu Yue was just joking. Looking back at the sleeping baby, her eyes were filled with reluctance. "I didn't want to either. I really wanted to be there for her as she grew up..."

Jing Shu found the scene before him particularly jarring.

What's going on...? Jing Shu looked away, his eyes vacant. Should he save her? Saving her would expose something.

Jing Shu chuckled. Oh well, he'd already been given a second chance at life, so what was there to be afraid of? Besides, in his eyes, his appearance on the sacred mountain must have been hiding some secret; he might as well consider it repaying a debt of gratitude.

Then let's take a gamble!

Jing Shu closed his eyes and carefully sensed everything within his body. Sure enough, his spiritual energy was completely depleted. Jing Shu checked his dantian and found the point of light.

What is this? A tiny figure formed from spiritual energy gently touched the spot of light.

"Ugh!" Jing Shu suddenly let out a painful groan, his face turning deathly pale.

"What's wrong?" Han Luo caught Jing Shu, who almost fell, and was about to check his body when Jing Shu waved his hand, "Master, I'm fine."

found it……

Jing Shu walked up to Gu Yue and said, "Aunt Gu, give me your hand."

Gu Yue looked puzzled, but still did as instructed.

The chubby little hands grasped Gu Yue's hands, and Jing Shu closed his eyes, activating the light points within his dantian.

Gu Yue could feel a gentle yet rich spiritual energy flowing into her body through her hands, nourishing her long-depleted meridians and internal organs—something ordinary spiritual energy couldn't do!

Gu Yue's eyes widened. How did this child do that? The next second, Gu Yue suddenly let go of his hand. Jing Shu opened his eyes, somewhat puzzled.

"Xiao Jingshu, what just happened? Will it have hurt you?" Gu Yue asked anxiously. Some forbidden techniques can consume oneself to benefit others, and she didn't want that to happen.

Han Luo noticed this as well, and immediately grabbed Jing Shu by the collar, pulling him away from Gu Yue.

"Forbidden techniques are unacceptable," Han Luo said solemnly. He knew the little brat had many secrets, but forbidden techniques were absolutely forbidden.

Looking at the two of them, Jing Shu felt a mix of emotions. He had won his gamble! But…

"Master, please put me down! It's so uncomfortable being pulled on the collar!"

Upon hearing this, Han Luo put him down, but blocked Gu Yue's path.

"It's not a forbidden technique, and it won't harm me. Master, trust me." Jing Shu looked at Han Luo, his eyes now showing more sincerity than before.

After a moment of silence, Han Luo stepped aside, allowing Jing Shu to walk up to Gu Yue.

"Are you really alright?" Gu Yue asked worriedly.

"Hmm." Jing Shu grasped Gu Yue's hand again, frowning slightly. "However, this kind of spiritual energy can only be nurtured, not replenished. Aunt Gu's body is too badly damaged, so we can only nurture her for now. We should be able to find some rare treasures that can replenish her life force in the future. If only we had a container."

Gu Yue had come to terms with it and didn't seem to mind. She pinched Jing Shu's slightly chubby cheek with her other hand and said, "Thank you, little Jing Shu, but you've gone to too much trouble. Aunt Gu appreciates your help."
