As soon as the words fell, Ku Mu's figure vanished in an instant.
Looking at the now-empty seat beside him, the long-bearded man remained silent for a long while before speaking.
"Pass down my order: from this day forth, our honored guest's orders are my orders."
"And prepare a sedan at once. I am entering the palace!"
Gu Residence, rear courtyard.
Tap, tap, tap!
After three months, Ku Mu finally stepped into the courtyard he had been yearning for day and night.
Sensing the woman's aura within, Ku Mu immediately frowned.
Judging from her aura alone, the woman inside did not seem to have any ailment.
After pondering briefly, Ku Mu still strode into the Gu family's young lady's chamber.
He did not believe that, with his abilities, he could not cure a mortal's minor ailment.

The door slowly opened, revealing a quiet and refined young woman.
The problem was that her eyes were full of dullness and blankness, utterly devoid of the liveliness of a living person.
Seeing this, Ku Mu directly pressed his Sword Finger against her brow, sending a thread of divine power into her body to investigate her condition.
A moment later, Ku Mu's brows furrowed even deeper, for he had actually failed to find the root cause of Gu family's young lady's illness.
"Miss Gu, where exactly do you feel unwell?"
Ku Mu asked tentatively.
At that, Gu Jiu raised her head and looked at Ku Mu.
"Hehehe!"
That foolish grin, like that of a simple-minded child, instantly made Ku Mu's mouth twitch.
Yet just as he was preparing to use other investigative methods, Wu Du's voice rang out in his mind.
"Don't bother. You can't cure this illness."
"Give me control of your body for eight days, and I'll cure her."
