Chapter 986: Chapter 986: Who is the Person on the Back?
Su Lifan trembled for a long time at these words, turning her back to Jiangli, yet never mustering the courage to turn around, and soon left in a panic.
After watching them leave, Xia Xin asked in a low voice, "Ancestor, is there someone on Guo Xuwen’s back? Who is that person?"
Jiangli took a sip of tea and asked in return, "What do you think?"
Xia Xin was suspicious, "I, I couldn’t tell..."
That person was always wrapped in a ball of fire, making it impossible to see what they looked like.
Even if he could see what they looked like, he probably wouldn’t recognize who that person was.
Jiangli said, "How do you view Guo Xuwen’s features?"
"Guo Xuwen’s features?"
Xia Xin muttered, thinking for a moment, "Just a very ordinary person, but with a bit of a triangular eye, like a treacherous person, with a face shrouded in deathly energy, a sign of impending doom... except for that..."
Was there anything he hadn’t noticed?
Xia Xin carefully recalled Guo Xuwen’s appearance, then suddenly his eyes widened, "Right, his brother’s palace isn’t good, a black mole in the middle of his eyebrows, eyebrows broken, discord among brothers..."
Jiangli reminded, "Think again about Guo Xuwen’s Eight Characters."
"Eight Characters?"
Xia Xin immediately took out his phone, found the private message Guo Xuwen sent him yesterday, which had Guo Xuwen’s birth characters.
Xia Xin carefully deduced, understanding, "Sibling discord, two tigers fighting, fratricidal strife..."
He suddenly looked at Jiangli.
"So... the person on his back could be Guo Xuwu?"
Jiangli calmly replied, "You’ll know when you look back."
Xia Xin was a bit bewildered.
Master Wu followed Jiangli’s earlier hint, looking at the Eight Characters on Xia Xin’s phone, deducing for a long time, basically guessing that the person on Guo Xuwen’s back was Guo Xuwu.
But Jiangli didn’t say it outright, so the two couldn’t be sure.
They both curiously stared at Jiangli.
Jiangli appeared leisurely sipping tea.
Clearly, he had no intention of solving the mystery for them.
Xia Xin couldn’t help frowning, his mind completely occupied by this matter.
On the other side.
Slipping away from Jiaoyang Temple, sitting in the car, Guo Ji glanced at a distraught and absent-minded Su Lifan, and asked, "Lifan, what exactly did the abbot mean by his words, do you know something?"
Su Lifan sat there, motionless, not knowing what she was thinking, seemingly not hearing Guo Ji’s words.
Guo Ji frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Lifan."
Su Lifan jolted, looking over blankly, "What happened?"
The two of them squeezed together in the back seat, holding Guo Xuwen to prevent him from falling.
Seeing Su Lifan’s reaction, Guo Ji frowned, "What exactly are you two hiding from me? Did Xuwen really do something he shouldn’t have?"
"How could that be?"
Without thinking, Su Lifan replied, "That’s impossible, Xuwen is timid, how could he do such a thing, impossible..."
Su Lifan forced a smile, repeatedly insisting that it was impossible.
The more she reacted like this, the more Guo Ji doubted.
But no matter how much he probed, Su Lifan stubbornly insisted that there was nothing.
Guo Ji couldn’t understand either, and there wasn’t much time for them to ponder right now.
By the time they returned to the hospital, Guo Xuwen was nearly unconscious, his breath was hot, his whole body burning up, even through thick clothing, Guo Ji and Su Lifan could feel it.
They hurriedly sent Guo Xuwen into the hospital, but when the doctor examined him, the thermometer had maxed out, and it was impossible to measure Guo Xuwen’s current actual temperature.
