Chapter 373: That’s Nonsense, You Little Lass
After Old Gao and Professor Tang sat down, they started chatting.
The two of them chatted merrily.
Mrs. Gao served tea to them and sat beside Chu Luo. She said with a smile, “Little Chu, you came at the right time. Old Gao wants to attend an online class but didn’t expect that the live broadcast classes are all in foreign languages. He couldn’t understand it and has been fiddling with it for the entire morning.”
When Old Gao and Professor Tang heard this, they stopped at the same time.
Old Gao looked vexed and deliberately said, “That’s right. Chu Xiao Luo, help me fix it. Otherwise, I’ll have to learn a few foreign languages before I can attend the classes.”
The three of them were amused by Old Gao’s words.
Chu Luo nodded. “I’ll create a language conversion command on your computer. In the future, you can directly use the language conversion command to listen to the classes, regardless of which country’s language it is.”
“That’s good. You can just translate them all into the Imperial language. Sounds more familiar.”
“Okay.”
The butler specially got someone to prepare a computer for Old Gao and placed it on the desk downstairs.
Old Gao and Professor Tang continued to chat. Chu Luo went over to fiddle with Old Gao’s computer.
When Chu Luo generated and set up the conversion instructions on the computer, Old Gao and Professor Tang were talking about her going to Province G to participate in the global school principal conference.
Both of them looked proud.
“I’ve never met a student as gifted in languages as Little Chu. Previously, I kept seeing her wearing earphones. Looks like a genius didn’t appear out of thin air. It’s also related to her efforts.”
“That’s right. You didn’t see how hard Chu Xiao Luo worked during the final lap in high school. This child’s memory is amazing. Other than revising all her humanities subjects, she actually went to the bookstore and secretly bought a large volume of science books to read.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she interrupted unhappily, “Teacher Gao, I didn’t buy it secretly.”
She had obviously bought those science books in an aboveboard manner.
“Haha, you’re a humanities student. Didn’t you secretly go to a bookstore to buy science books?”
“No way.” Chu Luo raised her chin and said matter-of-factly, “I was just trying to calm down and relieve my stress when I got tired from studying.”
Old Gao and Professor Tang: “…”
“Haha…”
It was already lunch time. The three of them didn’t chat for long before the Li family servants brought them lunch.
Only then did Old Gao talk about Jin Hui’s visit yesterday. “Chu Xiao Luo, you actually know the president of the Metaphysics Society. President Jin is simply an expert. What he said makes so much sense.”
Chu Luo smiled and nodded. “Metaphysics is a general term for things that human science can’t explain at present. Even if human science can’t explain it, that doesn’t necessarily mean it doesn’t exist.”
“That’s right. Little Chu Luo, did you invite the president of the Metaphysics Society because of that thing in my brain?”
Chu Luo hadn’t expected Old Gao to guess it directly. Her eyes flickered and she nodded. “Sort of. But Teacher Gao, don’t worry. I’ll be able to get it out of your brain soon. It won’t affect you at all in the future.”
When Professor Tang heard the two of them talk about this, he first looked at Old Gao in surprise before turning to Chu Luo.
However, he didn’t ask on the spot. He planned to ask after he left.
After the meal, Chu Luo and Professor Tang didn’t stay for long before leaving.
After the car drove for a while, Professor Tang asked about this.
Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “Teacher Gao’s brain has been planted with Gu worms.”
Professor Tang looked at her in surprise. “Erm…”
As a doctor, Professor Tang wasn’t familiar with Gu worms, but he had heard of them.
“Gu worms are very popular in Southern Xinjiang. Previously, I heard from a doctor over there that once one is poisoned by Gu, the person who planted the Gu must cure it. Otherwise, there’s nothing our doctors can do about it.”
Chu Luo said, “Mm. Yan is sending people to investigate the person who cast the Gu poison on Teacher Gao. He brought Teacher Gao to the Li residence because he was worried that he would be given random treatment when his Gu worm acts up.”
Professor Tang nodded and was silent for a while before asking, “Little Chu, do you know who cast the Gu poison on Mr. Gao and why?”
“Because of me.”
Chu Luo stopped talking.
Professor Tang was stunned for a moment. In any case, he figured those people were probably after Li Yan, so he didn’t ask further.
The car drove all the way back to the villa at Imperial Sky Park.
In the afternoon, Chu Luo and Professor Tang did experiments together.
As Chu Luo was thinking about the Gu worms in Old Gao’s brain, she was a little distracted during the experiment.
She was brewing the medicine, and the pungent smell of the medicine wafted throughout the room.
At this moment, Elder Hu happened to open the door. He was provoked by this smell and took a large step back. He was shocked and quickly shouted, “Little Chu, come out quickly. Your medicine has…”
Before Elder Hu could finish speaking, he was overwhelmed and fell backward.
Chu Luo jumped in fright and threw the herbs in her hand. Her body suddenly shook. She walked to the door and closed it, before going over to support Elder Hu.
At the same time, she quickly inserted a needle into him.
Elder Hu woke up after a few seconds.
Chu Luo helped him sit in a chair.
“Ouch, Little Chu, what herbs did you add just now? Why is the smell so strong? It’s so stimulating that my brain was about to explode.”
Chu Luo quickly massaged Elder Hu’s head and said apologetically, “Grandpa Hu, I’m sorry. I was a little distracted just now, so I added an additional XX herb.”
“Child, did you encounter some trouble? How can you be distracted while refining the medicine?”
“I…”
Chu Luo opened her mouth and lowered her head to admit her mistake. “I won’t do this again.”
When Elder Hu saw Chu Luo like this, how could he bear to criticize her? He said, “The smell in the herbs refining room has to disappear. Otherwise, with such a strong smell, we can’t enter at all.”
Chu Luo thought for a while. She seemed to have obtained from a certain ‘expert’ a bottle that could absorb smells. She quickly searched in the Heaven-and-Earth pouch.
Elder Hu only saw Chu Luo reach into her pocket and feel around. He smiled and said, “You should look while you’re searching for whatever it is you’re trying to find.”
Chu Luo grinned and quickly found the bottle. She took it out and walked to the door. She opened the bottle cap and quickly opened the door a crack.
“Hey! Don’t open it…”
Before Elder Hu could finish speaking, Chu Luo shook the bottle in her hand. Soon, she put the bottle away in her pocket and pushed open the door.
Elder Hu subconsciously covered his nose.
Chu Luo smiled at him. “Grandpa Hu, there’s no smell now.”
Elder Hu put down his hand and tried to sniffle. As expected, the smell didn’t come out.
Elder Hu stood up and walked over to Chu Luo’s side. He looked at the medicine pot that was brewing and exclaimed in surprise, “Where did the medicine in the pot go?”
Not to mention the smell in the room, even the medicine in the medicine pot had disappeared.
Chu Luo said seriously, “It was devoured by my divine bottle.”
Elder Hu scolded jokingly, “Little girl, you’re spouting nonsense.” However, his gaze subconsciously swept across Chu Luo’s pocket.
Chu Luo shrugged and walked in without explaining.
Elder Hu followed her in and asked as he walked, “Why did you randomly put in the herbs just now? That smell rushed straight to one’s brain. You were even standing in the room. How could you stand it?”
Chu Luo definitely wouldn’t tell him. When the harmful smell attacked her, Phoenix subconsciously gave her a protective barrier. She didn’t smell it at that time.
Seeing that she was keeping silent, Elder Hu thought that she was reflecting and didn’t ask further.
Chu Luo went over to refine the medicine again. Elder Hu stood beside her and supervised.
When the herbs were ready to be boiled, someone knocked on the door.
The two of them turned to look and the door was pushed open at the same time. Standing there was Li Yan.
Chu Luo was a little surprised. “Yan, why are you here?”
Li Yan first nodded at Elder Hu before saying, “Something came up. Can you leave first?”
Chu Luo knew that Li Yan must have something serious to talk to her about, so she said to Elder Hu, “Grandpa Hu, help me look after this medicine. I’ll leave first.”
“Sure, sure, sure.”
Elder Hu waved at her. “Since you look distracted, it’s good to go back and rest early.”
“Thank you, Grandpa Hu.”
Chu Luo took off her lab coat and followed Li Yan.
It wasn’t until the two of them had walked out of the villa that Li Yan said, “A batch of tomb raiders has arrived in the capital these past two days.”
“Who gathered them?”
“I got someone to spread the news that they organized it spontaneously.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she tilted her head and looked at him.
Li Yan similarly turned his head to look back at her and said coldly, “Since many people want to go to that tomb, let more people go over.”
“You…”
“I won’t let them enter the tomb.”
After Li Yan finished speaking, he held her hand and continued walking.
Chu Luo still tilted her head and looked at him. She opened her mouth to say something, but she didn’t know what to say.
When they reached the villa, Li Yan gestured to her. “Go change into a set of clothes that are convenient for movement. We’ll go over in private to take a look. Maybe we can find the person who cast the Gu poison on your teacher.”
Chu Luo nodded and the two of them walked upstairs.
Chu Luo asked as she walked, “Where did these people go?”
“The temple outside the city.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she suddenly stopped. Yesterday, Anya had said that she was going to the temple today. She took out her phone and called Anya, intending to ask if she was back.
It took a while before the call connected. It was especially noisy. Chu Luo asked, “Anya, where are you?”
Anya answered her loudly, “I’m still in the temple.”
Chu Luo frowned. “Why aren’t you back yet?”
Anya probably walked to a quiet place. It was finally quiet on the other side. She immediately complained in dissatisfaction, “I want to too, but that stinky blockhead who came with me has disappeared somewhere. He didn’t answer my calls.”
Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “Then come back with your guard first. Maybe Qin Ming suddenly has a mission.”
“No, I have to wait for that stinky blockhead here.”
