Chapter 80 Master Gu’s cover might be blown soon Part 1

Gu Ye said gently, “I reminded Qin Xu before because I saw that he had such a calamity, a peach blossom calamity. If he was put under black magic… then I have to see him in person to know more.”

Qin Man asked anxiously, “That means that he is not his usual self, right?”

“Everything in the world must have cause and effect. There must be a reason for him being different from usual.”

Hearing that, Qin Man’s expression changed, and she said anxiously, “Then I will bring him over and you can take a look at him.”

Since Qin Xu’s agent is his own sister, he gets dragged to see Gu Ye whether he wants it or not. When they met, Gu Ye really couldn’t see what was wrong with Qin Xu. Actor Qin Xu was still the same handsome and elegant person.

“Hello Master Gu, we meet again.” Qin Xu shook hands with Gu Ye politely and said admiringly, “The last time we met, you said that I would find you again in 2 months. Master Gu’s words are indeed true.”

Gu Ye looked at Qin Man in confusion. Isn’t this quite normal?

Qin Man shook her head and signaled with her eyes as if to say ‘Just watch.’

“I want you to help calculate about his marriage,” Qin Man looked at Qin Xu’s face and said slowly, “I know a girl named Xia Xue, who has a good temper and is beautiful. Master Gu, tell me if they are destined to be together?”

“What kind of fate is there? I haven’t even met her a few times.” Without waiting for Gu Ye to tell Qin Man, Qin Xu smiled and refused the request for calculation.

Qin Man then said, “There is a girl named Xia Shiwen in his crew. She is beautiful, lively, and cute. I wonder if they are destined to be together?”

The moment Xia Shiwen was mentioned, Gu Ye was surprised to find that Qin Xu became excited. He was talking calmly just now, but now he has changed entirely. His face was red, his eyes were shining, and he said almost manically, “Yes, yes, Master Gu, please help me calculate! No, no need to calculate! Sister, feelings don’t need to be calculated, it doesn’t matter whether we are suitable or not. I just like her, I just want to be with her for the rest of my life! No, this isn’t right!” Qin Xu covered his face and trembled uncontrollably.

Qin Man looked at Gu Ye with a worried look, “This is what I meant by abnormal.”

Gu Ye frowned, it really seemed like Qin Xu was cursed with black magic.

Then, Qin Xu suddenly slapped himself. The ‘PA’ was crisp and loud, and then he calmed down, “I’m sorry, I lost my self-control.”

Gu Ye raised his eyebrows, “You can still control your emotions?”

Qin Xu said coldly, “There’s 2 reasons why I can. One of which is that I have a good psychological quality and a strong will. I can tell that I am too abnormal. I can’t control my desire to be with her, like a mad love devil.”

Gu Ye asked curiously, “How do you know that you are not really in love with her?”

Qin Xu laughed, and his expression was much more normal, “The second reason why I didn’t lose control, and also the reason I know very clearly that I am acting abnormal, is because I have liked males since I was a child.”

Hearing that, Gu Ye blinked. Seeing Qin Man’s helpless expression that says ‘It is what it is’, he nodded in understanding, “It’s nothing wrong.”

Speaking of this topic, Qin Xu smiled and said, “I heard that you are the same.”

The question made Gu Ye feel helpless. His gossip had spread to the entertainment circle. But he did not shy away from it. “The person I like happens to be a man. If he was a ghost or some non-human, I would still like him the same.”

Qin Xu was speechless. “Non-human… So, the rumor is true?”

Gu Ye spread his hands and said innocently, “I have never refuted it.”

Qin Xu laughed, “Does he like you?”

Gu Ye narrowed his eyes, “Why do you ask this? Do you like Yu Ze?”

“No!” Qin Xu’s mouth twitched. The topic changed a little too quickly. “I just feel a little regretful. Why didn’t I meet you earlier? Now it’s too late. No, I like Xia Shiwen!” Qin Xu’s expression suddenly changed. He grabbed at his chest tightly, making countless wrinkles on his clothing, and broke out in a cold sweat due to the pain.

Qin Man was terrified and supported Qin Xu in panic, “What’s going on? Call an ambulance!”

Gu Ye took Qin Xu’s hand and felt his pulse with a serious face, “This is not black magic, this is love Gu.”

[Banana: Sorry for breaking the immersion but for those who never heard of Gu before, please do check this LINK and this LINK ya.]

“Ling Ling, go to Dad’s study. In the study drawer, there is a golden box on the second row, in the third grid from the left! Bring it to me!”

Ling Ling, who was sitting on the bookshelf acting like a doll, suddenly jumped down from the bookshelf. Floating in the air, she opened the drawer, found the box inside, and floated over.

Gu Ye opened it quickly and inside was a box of golden needles. Gu Ye picked up one and quickly inserted the needle, “In the presence of a love Gu, if you say you like someone and that person is not the person holding the female half of the Gu, it means you are betraying the female Gu. If it’s serious, you will die of chest pain.”

After 2 jabs from Gu Ye’s needle, Qin Xu gradually calmed down. His face turned yellow and pale as he said, “I only said I’m feeling regretful. I didn’t say I want to be the third party, how can this be considered betrayal?”

Gu Ye said with disdain, “You can’t even think about it. Thoughts counted too and you will die from it. Consider yourself lucky today.”

“So, my younger brother is being controlled by someone?” Qin Man gnashed her teeth in anger, “It means if he doesn’t love her, he will die? Where does such a vicious thought come from!”

Gu Ye answered with pity, “Yes, there is a little bug in his body. Someone uses the bug to control him. If he doesn’t love her, he will die.”

Qin Xu said puzzledly, “Isn’t this kind of thing written in martial arts novels?”

Gu Ye took another golden needle, pierced Qin Xu’s finger, and dripped it on a small paper man.

“The fact is Gu really exists, and novels are also based on reality. It is said that the Gu worm is a unique witchcraft of girls in the central and western Hunan regions. You can put a Gu in food or clothes. The love Gu is specifically used to control feelings. Now many of the skills have been lost and only masters can do it. In ancient times, Miao girls put the love Gu on their lovers, which would make their lovers forever loyal and would guard that girl at all costs. A powerful Gu worm master will make the Gu carrier lose consciousness and submit to her.”

Gu Ye thought of his previous life. That idiot who wanted to control others and ended up forcing him to sacrifice himself. Because that idiot had such thoughts but ended up going too far, he was struck by thunder and nothing was left in the end.

“Too toxic!” Qin Man said with disgust, “Love is consensual, how can love be forced?”

Gu Ye smiled, “Normal people would think so, but some people are just unable to get what they want and the heartbreak makes them lose their reason.”

“Shouldn’t the love Gu be a pair, as shown in TV shows? Why are there other people like this?”

Gu Ye sneered, “It’s because she bit more than she can chew, controlling 3 people at once. And so you could tell that you are being abnormal. You haven’t lost your mind, right? I guess the identities of the other two are not simple, right?”

Speaking of this, Qin Man thought about it, “Indeed, one is the son of the chairman of Boyuan Foreign Trade, and the other is the son of the shipbuilding king. They both have good acting skills, and the key is that their families are rich.”

Gu Ye smiled, “They are sure rich which means if their acting career doesn’t do well, they will go home to inherit the family business instead.”

Pulling out the needle, Gu Ye dipped it in Qin Xu’s blood, and drew a talisman on the paper figure, “I am not good at removing the Gu, but I know that if this goes on, the people carrying the Gu will lose their consciousness and become a living dead. I can find someone to save you but whether he can come depends on fate.”

Gu Ye finished drawing the spell, “Now I will use the substitute technique to transfer the control to this paper figure. I hope that within 5 days, I can find the Gu worm master and call him over.”

Qin Man asked fearfully, “He won’t lose control of himself again, right?”

“Not in these 5 days.”

Qin Xu apologized, “Sorry, you clearly reminded me, but I still got myself into the calamity.”

Gu Ye smiled, “You don’t have to blame yourself. The other party wants to put a Gu on you, you can’t defend yourself, this is your fate.”

At this point, Qin Xu asked curiously, “If I asked you to tell my fortune that time, how would you avoid this calamity for me?”

Gu Ye gave an evil smile and said, “Well, I just won’t let you take any jobs for half a year and let you sleep at home to avoid disasters.”

Qin Xu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “I might as well sleep at home.”

Qin Man gave Gu Ye a check for 2 million yuan on the spot because Gu Ye had said before that Qin Xu should come to him with 2 million (if he ever needed help).

After handling the check, Qin Man said politely, “This is just a deposit. We will make up for it after the matter is done.”

Gu Ye took the money with a smile, “I don’t want more, but you can give the extra money to someone, provided that I can trick him into coming.”

After sending Qin Xu and his sister away, Gu Ye recalled the phone number that had not changed for six or seven years and hesitated. The other party knew him too well as if they were the same person. If that person came and recognized him, how would he explain it? Things like resurrection by borrowing corpses are against fate, even in the circle of mystic arts. However, if he don’t get that person to come, would he just watch Qin Xu and the others get harmed?

After thinking for a long time, Gu Ye sighed. 3 lives are at stake. Watching it go down and doing nothing is against the will of heaven. He’ll tackle it when the time comes. He sent a message to that number:

[Xiangxi’s little brother Ge Qiaojun* is wanted! Gu Ye’s shidi (junior brother) needs help! Little brother Ge Qiaojun!

If you don’t come, I will tell everyone about what happened to you in the snowy peak of Mountain Ling! My senior brother said that if I need help one day, I can call you. And if you don’t come, I will expose your dirty laundry! Please reply if you receive it, muah~]

*[Banana: The name can be written as Qiaojun and Qiaojuan but Banana picked Jun because the dictionary said Juan is more to surname :v]

At Qin Xu’s side, as a dedicated actor, he did not rest after returning from Gu Ye’s place and returned to the crew again.

Xia Shiwen was wearing a costume that interprets the lively and cute image in the film to the fullest. Like a lively bird, she was ‘flying’ around in the crew. In addition, she is the niece of Director Qian, so everyone in the crew will give her some face and pamper her like a little sister.

When Xia Shiwen saw Qin Xu coming back, she ran over to ask with concern, “Brother Xu, are you okay? Have you been to the hospital?”

Qin Xu smiled faintly, “Thank you for your concern, I’m okay.”

Xia Shiwen heard the alienation tone from this sentence, which was obviously different from yesterday. Her eyes darkened while her expression remained innocent, “It’s good that you are okay, I have always been worried about you.”

Qin Xu said faintly, “Thank you.”

Xia Shiwen’s smile gradually cooled down as she realized that Qin Xu was really different from yesterday. He was still attentive to her yesterday, but today his eyes looked different when he looked at her.

Xia Shiwen calmly activated the Love Gu at her side and looked at Qin Xu’s face, just to see if he could remain so calm when the Love Gu took effect. Unexpectedly, Qin Xu just glanced at her indifferently and left with the script. Xia Shiwen’s pupils shrank. Impossible! The Love Gu doesn’t work?!

“Brother Xu,” Xia Shiwen followed behind, feeling unconvinced, “I don’t understand this part of the script. I can’t interpret it properly, can you tell me?”

Qin Xu said without turning his head, “You should experience it yourself first and learn to figure it out yourself. Asking questions about everything is not conducive to growth.”

Xia Shiwen gritted her teeth and her face flushed. She really lost control of Qin Xu!

At this moment, Luo Pei, who plays the second male lead in the play, came over. He squatted beside Xia Shiwen, and said attentively, “What don’t you know? I’ll teach you.”

Xia Shiwen’s expression suddenly became a little shy, “I, I don’t know this, and this.”

Luo Pei: “After I taught you, let’s rehearse the play and you will understand it soon.”

Kong Shanshan, who plays the female lead, has worked with Qin Xu several times and the two are familiar with each other. She smiled and said to Qin Xu, “This little girl is very studious.”

Qin Xu curled the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly, “Yes, she learns very quickly.”

Some reporters have been taking pictures of Xia Shiwen, especially when she is with Luo Pei. 2 days ago, Luo Pei had a fight with Qiu Yanhuai from the crew next door for Xia Shiwen, and his chin is still bruised. If it weren’t for the backing of their family, the two would have been punished by their company long ago. The name Xia Shiwen also became popular in the circle with the fight between the two.

Now, Luo Pei is sticking to Xia Shiwen again. It seems that Xia Shiwen doesn’t understand what’s happening at all and smiles innocently. The reporter caught them together and took pictures, already anticipating what tomorrow’s gossip news would be. A popular actor in the entertainment industry who is also the youngest son of a shipbuilding king is crazy about Xia Shiwen, a newcomer in the entertainment industry.

In short, Xia Shiwen’s name will be popular for a while.

Kong Shanshan saw the reporter and said meaningfully, “This girl is also very smart. Old Qin, you have to hold yourself.”

Qin Xu smiled without any temper, “What’s to hold? Who would like an uncle like me? Continue to memorize the script.”

Qin Xu lowered his head, but his eyes were full of anger. No one wants to feel controlled. As proud as he is, he can only hold back his anger now.
