Chapter 73: Puppet Technique

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Sorcerer Mao Feng said that redecorating the venue would help the Vine Garden’s luck and help the Gu family suppress their bad luck, so we have to redesign it.” Guo Qing smiled awkwardly.

“Suppress misfortune?” Gu Lin looked like he had heard a joke.

“Nonsense. Hurry up and bring this Sorcerer Mao Feng over!” Old Master Gu stood at the side and understood the situation. Although he was old, he was not an old fool. Didn’t the previous provocation and the meaning between the lines hint that Yunbao was some bad luck? How could he tolerate this? Old Master Gu knocked the floor with his walking stick.

Only then did Guo Qing see that Old Master Gu was sitting at the side and resting. His heart skipped a beat.

In fact, Guo Qing had always looked down on Gu Lin. He thought that he was just a pretty boy who relied on his father. He was a rich second-generation heir who would be finished if he left the Gu family. He was the pitiful person who had endured humiliation. He had always had talent but had never encountered opportunity. Therefore, on the surface, he was obedient to Gu Lin, but he had scolded Gu Lin countless times in his heart.

However, Old Master Gu was different. Old Master Gu watched Guo Qing grow up, so he naturally did not dare to be rash.

“Aiyo, Uncle Gu, my eyes must be blind for not seeing you!” Guo Qing’s fake smile appeared on his face.

“What does your eyes have to do with me?! Hurry up and call that Sorcerer Mao Feng over!” Old Master Gu was very frustrated. He did not want to see Guo Qing’s face and turned his head away.

“Alright, please wait a moment. Do you need me to get someone to bring you and Auntie Gu some food?”

“Hurry up and get him over!” Old Master Gu knocked on the door with his walking stick and Guo Qing immediately ran out.

“Is he usually like this in the company?” Old Master Gu was obviously asking Gu Lin.

“Yes, but there haven’t been any major problems with his work,” Gu Lin replied.

However, there were many small matters, though he didn’t say this out loud. Gu Lin didn’t want Old Master Gu to worry about him anymore. He could handle it.

Old Master Gu naturally understood what he meant and sighed deeply.

After a while, Sorcerer Mao Feng finally arrived. He was dressed the same as the other day. He was wearing a black robe, revealing only his eyes. Behind him was a group of people, most of whom were guests invited by the Gu family.

It seemed that everyone was very familiar with the name of Sorcerer Mao Feng. They were following behind him, asking them to give them advice.

“Master, it’s him!” Yunbao said to Song Yun.

Song Yun carefully observed this sorcerer who called himself Mao Feng through Yunbao. It was indeed strange. Those eyes… Song Yun thought for a moment and finally remembered where he had seen this person before.

“Yunbao, I remember now. Do you remember Li Hu? He hasn’t been caught yet, right?” Song Yun asked Yunbao.

Yunbao was suddenly enlightened. She looked at those eyes again and indeed thought very much of Li Hu. However, she kept feeling that there was something else in this Mao Feng’s eyes. It seemed to be smug, but also confident.

“Master, why do I feel that he doesn’t look like him?” Yunbao asked her question. She remembered Li Hu. The person in front of her looked like Li Hu, but he was definitely not Li Hu.

“Do you remember the disguise technique that Master told you before?” Song

Yun asked Yunbao.

“Of course I remember,” Yunbao replied. She remembered every word her master said.

“Before I saw him, I always thought that it was a disguise, but it was actually a curse more vicious than that. It’s a forbidden technique.” Song Yun slowly explained to Yunbao, “That’s the Puppet Technique.”

“Puppet Technique?” Yunbao was puzzled.

“Yes, it’s to manipulate people like puppets. Being manipulated will gradually erode the thoughts of the manipulated people. In the end, they will completely become a puppet and listen to the manipulator.”

“So scary!” Yunbao was shocked and looked at Li Hu pitifully.

“Then, Master, can he still be saved?” Yunbao asked.

“Sure. As the name implies, puppetry is to control people like puppets. The way to crack it is to cut the strings of the puppet.”

“Puppet strings?” Yunbao looked at the top of Mao Feng’s head. “I don’t see any strings, Master.”

“Little Yunbao, this is a metaphor. If you want to find that person’s thread, you have to get close to him first! Although this forbidden technique is very difficult to solve and has long been lost, it’s your master’s fault for being powerful. As long as we can get close to him, we will definitely be able to break this forbidden technique!” Song Yun was filled with confidence.

“Then, Master, can you find out who did it?” Yunbao asked again.

This time, Song Yun didn’t say anything. It wasn’t because she didn’t know, but because she couldn’t believe it.

“Let’s break it first!” After a while, Song Yun finally replied. Yunbao knew that her master did not want to say anything, so she did not ask further..
