Chapter 541 - 541 Be The Knife
541 Be The Knife
“Girl, you’re right. Perhaps in a few decades, there will really be monsters and fiendish demons in this world.”
Old Wu looked at Su Xiaolu and did not hide it. Instead, he treated Su Xiaolu as an adult.
Gui You remained silent.
Su Xiaolu looked at Old Wu and asked expectantly, “Master, do you already know something?”
Old Wu looked at Su Xiaolu and said calmly, “Girl, everything in the world is up to fate. The fortune teller is good at divination. Even if there was a change in fate last year, fortune and misfortune depend on each other. In ancient times, spiritual energy was abundant and cultivation was advocated. Any disciple could fly in the sky. There were many fiendish demons in the world, and it was difficult for mortals to survive.”!!
“Human lives were like ants, but thousands of years have passed. Be it immortals or fiendish demons, they no longer exist in this world. Only mortals have reproduced. These mystical records are just legends in the eyes of humans. Now that fate has changed, it’s hard to say what the world will become.”
“Humans might be ants, or the people who control the world. All of it is unknown, but ants still live. No matter what, we have to strive to live, become stronger, live, and protect our loved ones.”
Old Wu slowly finished speaking and sighed deeply.
“If you don’t want to be a fish on someone else’s chopping board, then you have to be the knife on the chopping board.”
Gui You said solemnly.
If a person wanted to be independent, they had to be strong.
“Master, we have to catch a lot of arowana from the sea now. Let’s go out to sea tomorrow. With some herbs, we can poison the arowana with medicine. It will be much easier to catch them then.”
Su Xiaolu clenched her fists. No one knew how quickly the world changed, so she had to seize any opportunity in front of her.
She wanted to catch a lot of arowana and extract the essence to make the spiritual liquid for her family.
Old Wu and Gui You nodded.
Su Xiaolu went back to her room to rest.
She vaguely heard Old Wu complain.
“How unlucky. I’m already so old, but I still have to practice martial arts…”
“Stop talking and circulate your Internal Breath. As long as you’re not dead, you have to cultivate.”
Gui You was very harsh. Even to Old Wu, who was much older than him, he did not show any mercy.
Su Xiaolu couldn’t help but smile.
The world was changing. People living in the world naturally had to change if they wanted to survive. Because of this change, whether it was a newborn child or an old person, everyone had to change if they wanted to survive.

Zhou Zhi woke up at dawn.
He sat up quietly. His hands were trembling. He touched his legs with trembling hands and felt the smooth muscles. It was unbelievable that two inches had grown out of his legs. They were no longer ugly. Even the cross section of his broken leg was smooth.
He had a bold hypothesis in his heart. As long as he replenished enough spiritual energy, his legs would grow back, and these things had to be obtained from those new species.
He had never felt like this before. He felt like a healthy person.
Zhou Zhi sat there in a daze until dawn.
Only then did he call for someone to come in.
“Master, are you feeling unwell anywhere?”
Jin Si observed Zhou Zhi and asked.
Zhou Zhi shook his head. He looked at Jin Si and said, “What did she feed me yesterday?”
Such a good thing was several times better than the white fish. Why was she so willing to give it to him?
Jin Si answered truthfully, “Miss Su took a lot of small bottles. After opening them, the smell was very fragrant. She fed you all of them. There should be more than ten bottles. Master was unconscious at that time. The fever made your entire body red. Doctor Wu was already helpless. After drinking the things Miss Su gave you, Master’s condition gradually improved and stabilized.”
“Doctor Wu said that a lot of the poison in your body has been removed this time. What Miss Su gave you to drink is good stuff, comparable to divine medicine.”
Speaking of Su Xiaolu, Jin Si was very respectful. Without Su Xiaolu, their master would not have survived this time.
In the past, Doctor Wu was also very angry, but he had never panicked like this before. He had done everything, but there was nothing he could do. This made everyone know that there was really no other way this time.
Zhou Zhi’s gaze was deep. “It’s indeed a divine medicine. She gave me my life.”
He would never be able to repay what he owed Su Xiaolu in this lifetime.
“Where is she?”
Zhou Zhi asked softly.
“Miss Su has returned to the small courtyard. She said that you can look for her if there’s anything.”
Jin Si said.
Zhou Zhi nodded. “There’s no hurry to go out to sea during this period of time. I have to recuperate well and we can continue to catch the white fish. If we can catch those fish, we’ll catch them. If we can’t, forget it. It’s more important to keep our lives. Think of more ways. There will be a way.”
“Yes.”
Jin Si was very happy. He had never felt such a strong desire to live from Zhou Zhi.
He had always been fearless. Even if he died at any time, he did not care.
But now he was starting to care. This was the best change he’d ever had.
There was always a way to catch the big fish with wings. If one method didn’t work, he would change it.
“Get Jin Qi to go over to her side and see if there’s anything he needs help with. Listen to her instructions.”
Zhou Zhi ordered.
Jin Liu nodded and left.

In the morning, Su Xiaolu made seafood porridge. After the three of them finished eating, Su Xiaolu said to the two masters, “Master, Master Gui You, how much silver do you have?”
Su Xiaolu thought about it and felt that she should block off that sea area. Sooner or later, the news of the arowana would spread.
Others might not be able to catch it, but they might prevent her from catching it. The human heart was unpredictable. If one could not deal with a fish, one could have thousands of methods to plot against a person.
If they bought the sea area, no matter how jealous others were, they could only watch with their eyes wide open.
Old Wu stroked his beard and said, “If it’s banknotes, it’s 200,000 taels. The other valuable things are worth a million taels in my old home.”
As he spoke, Old Wu poked Gui You with his hand. “Kid, lend me a few thousand taels.”
Old Wu did not even ask Su Xiaolu what she wanted to do and was willing to do everything for his precious disciple.
Gui You did not ask either. He took out a box and handed it to Su Xiaolu. “Take it.”
Old Wu also had a box. He handed it to Su Xiaolu with a smile. “Girl, Master’s coffin capital is here. Think about it. Master is old and depends on you. You can’t let Master be bullied by anyone.”
Su Xiaolu hugged Old Wu. “Don’t worry, Master. I won’t let you down.”
The old man was still as adorable as ever. His love was very heavy. It was all he had.
Su Xiaolu put away her things and prepared to look for An Lie and An Cheng.
Jin Qi arrived at the right time. Seeing that Su Xiaolu was about to leave, he said respectfully, “Miss Su, is there anything you need help with? Please let me know.”
