She couldn’t let him control her mind. Even if he made her wish that she was dead, she could tolerate that. At worst, she would just die, which was better than going back.Gu Bailu pulled her back. “Don’t panic. It’s winter now, and it’s snowing everywhere in Southern Glory Empire. You’re pregnant – where can you go? Let’s wait and see. If he’s really here for you, we can send you off later.”

“No… It’ll be too late then.” Qian’er shook her head.

“It won’t. Did you forget that I have a Soul Collecting Bracelet that can help you hide for twenty-four hours? If he isn’t here for you, you’ll be running for nothing.”

Gu Bailu actually wanted to say that even if Qian’er ran 300 kilometers away, Lu Fenying could still make her life a living hell with just the flute. She might be able to endure it, but would the baby be able to? If she wasn’t careful, they might both die.

Now that Qian’er could live, Gu Bailu absolutely didn’t want her to die.

Also, she felt that if Lu Fenying had really discovered that the dead Mo Qian’er was a fake, he could blow the flute to see if Qian’er was still alive.

But nothing had happened to Qian’er.

There were only two possibilities. One, Lu Fenying hadn’t found out.

Two, Lu Fenying knew, but he didn’t want Qian’er to die, so he was coming here in person.

As long as he didn’t want Qian’er to die, Gu Bailu had ways to stop him from taking her away.

Now that he was in her territory, she was going to make Lu Fenying know who was the master here!

Qian’er wavered a little. She had no one; the only person she knew was Gu Bailu. She didn’t know where to go if she left Gu Bailu.

She was a pregnant woman with low spiritual power; she might not be able to survive running for 300 kilometers.

“Are you done talking?” An old voice rang out, and only then did they remember that there was someone else in the room.

The blind old woman had already finished a cup of tea, and finally spoke up when she saw that they seemed to have forgotten her.

The reason Gu Bailu had brought her back was partly because she might need the witch doctor’s skills to lift the slave mark.

The second reason was that she had to come with Gu Bailu if she wanted to open her Heavenly Eye.

Gu Bailu smiled. “I’m sorry. I’ll write down an introduction to cultivating the Heavenly Eye tonight and give it to you tomorrow.”

The witch doctor said expressionlessly, “Just keep your word. This house is a treasure. I want to stay here.”

“No, I only promised to teach you the Heavenly Eye, not give you a place to live. You can live at my teahouse for free, but not in Prince Zi’s residence.” Gu Bailu immediately refused.

They hadn’t investigated the witch doctor’s background, so they certainly couldn’t keep her in the house.

She could plant curses on people, and was a very dangerous person.

The witch doctor snorted. “Are you scared that I’ll hurt you?”

“Granny, one must always be vigilant. You can cultivate the Heavenly Eye anywhere; it doesn’t have to be in Prince Zi’s residence.” Gu Bailu didn’t hide anything.

“This is a great place for cultivation.” The moment the witch doctor entered Prince Zi’s house, she knew that there was a spring of spiritual energy here, which allowed one to progress quickly in their cultivation.

Of course Gu Bailu certainly knew that Prince Zi’s residence was good for cultivation, which had helped her cultivation to progress rapidly. However, the witch doctor couldn’t stay here.

The security of the entire residence was the top priority.

Seeing that Gu Bailu wouldn’t budge, the witch doctor said, “Aren’t you worried about the slave mark? What if I have a solution?”

Gu Bailu’s eyes lit up. “Do you have a way to undo the slave mark?”

There was also delight on Qian’er’s pretty face.
