Lu Zhaozhao shook her head, and he, who had been limply nestled in Lu Guohua's arms, sat up straight.

"Grandpa, I'm fine, I'm perfectly alright," Lu Zhaozhao said.

Lu Guohua looked surprised, because his grandson in his arms was indeed getting better at a speed visible to the naked eye. His pale cheeks became rosy, and even his voice seemed to have become stronger.

"What...what happened? Master, what did you do to the child?" Jiang Xinyue asked worriedly, and at the same time, she was also a little scared.

In fact, from the very beginning when they dealt with Shen Qingzhou, they felt both awe and fear—fear of the unknown power.

Shen Qingzhou was well aware of their thoughts and chuckled, "Don't worry, I just cast a spell on him."

"A spell?"

Lu Guohua's face showed fear and anger, and his voice cracked as he spoke.

Because curses have never been a good thing.

Shen Qingzhou gave him a cold glance. When Lu Guohua met his gaze, he felt a chill creep up his spine and spread throughout his body. His anger vanished instantly, leaving only fear in his heart.

"It's just to lighten the burden on the child and reduce the difficulty of the spellcasting later," Shen Qingzhou said as she took out her key and opened the door.

"Is it that 'no problem' thing?" Jiang Haichao asked.

He was both curious and wanted to hear Shen Qingzhou's answer so that Lu Guohua could feel at ease.

He was the one who found Lu Guohua. If something really happened to Zhaozhao, he probably would never forgive himself until he died.

"Yes." Shen Qingzhou walked into the room and said, "Come in and let's talk."

"Human language possesses a special power," Shen Qingzhou said.

"Like a person's name and birth date?" Jiang Haichao asked.

"Pretty much, but the more commonly used a language is, the more power it possesses. For example, many people like to say 'no problem,' so it's given a certain power..."

"Aren't those verbal tics and swear words the most powerful?" Jiang Xinyue whispered from the side.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhou turned around and looked at her with some surprise.

"Did I... say something wrong?" Jiang Xinyue asked somewhat nervously.

"No, you're very smart," Shen Qingzhou said sincerely, then looked away. "That's why I rarely curse people with 'f***ing mud horse,' unless their mother is already dead."

Everyone: ...

Shen Qingzhou put down the bananas and said directly, "Since you have everything prepared, let's not waste any time and get started."

"Wait...wait a minute." At this moment, Lu Guohua, who hadn't spoken until now, finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Go ahead," Shen Qingzhou said, looking at him.

Meeting Shen Qingzhou's gaze, Lu Guohua subconsciously swallowed.

"Can this really cure my grandson?"

"After the treatment, take your child to the hospital for a check-up. You only pay after everything is fine, so you don't need to worry about being scammed. I think Old Man Jiang has made that clear to you, right?"

"I've explained it clearly, but... I'm worried that the problem might worsen after treatment, what should I do?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhou chuckled and said, "Then it's a choice you have to make: take a chance and hope for a cure, or let your child suffer like this for the rest of their life. I remember osteogenesis imperfecta is incurable, isn't it?"

Lu Guohua hesitated upon hearing this.

Jiang Haichao opened his mouth to offer some words of advice, but didn't know how to begin.

It's good that this matter actually succeeded; otherwise, Lu Guohua would probably resent him for the rest of his life. Fortunately, he doesn't have much time left in his life.

So he decided to try to persuade him, but at that moment, Lu Guohua gritted his teeth and said directly, "I want to give it a try."

With an illness like Lu Zhaozhao's, his future life would be worse than death. He didn't want his grandson to live like that for the rest of his life, so he decided to take a gamble.

"Alright, come with me." Shen Qingzhou pushed open the door to the side bedroom.

This side bedroom has no windows, so it is completely dark even during the day.

So Shen Qingzhou turned on the light, but the light was a dark red, filling the room with a mysterious atmosphere.

Jiang Xinyue had been here before, so she wasn't surprised, while Lu Guohua and Jiang Haichao curiously examined the furnishings inside.

The room was very simple, with nothing but an altar, a prayer mat, and a brazier.

"Logically, you should wait outside, but I guess you won't feel at ease, so I'm allowing you to come in and watch. But wait a while, no matter what happens, don't panic or make any noise..." Shen Qingzhou warned the group with a serious expression.

"Okay," the three of them readily agreed.

"You have to promise me," Shen Qingzhou continued, his face serious.

The three of them felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this. They remembered Shen Qingzhou's curse just now. Shen Qingzhou's words must mean more than just asking them to say it.

But now that things have come to this, they can only grit their teeth and say, "I promise."

Shen Qingzhou nodded in satisfaction and let them into the room.

"Put the child on the prayer mat," Shen Qingzhou said to Lu Guohua.

Upon hearing this, Lu Guohua first glanced at Shen Qingzhou, then took a deep breath and whispered a few words to his grandson Zhaozhao before carefully placing him on the prayer mat in front of the offering table.

Although Lu Zhaozhao looks about the same age as Xiao Qiu, he is actually two years older than Xiao Qiu. Moreover, due to the torment of illness in recent years, he is much more sensible than ordinary children.

So his grandfather put him on the prayer mat, and he neither cried nor made a fuss, but just looked at Shen Qingzhou with curiosity.

Shen Qingzhou squatted down in front of him and asked gently, "What's your name?"

"Lu Zhaozhao." Zhaozhao was a little confused, since Grandpa Jiang had just introduced his name.

"How many years this year... um... wait a minute."

Shen Qingzhou reached out and touched the side of him, and then—

A child appeared beside him, startling Lu Zhaozhao and Lu Guohua, who was standing to the side watching. How did a child suddenly appear out of nowhere?

Jiang Xinyue exclaimed with delight, "Xiao Qiu!"

"Go to your mother's side and stop causing trouble here." Shen Qingzhou rubbed her little head.

"Come over here quickly." Jiang Xinyue also waved hurriedly.

Just then, Shen Qingzhou withdrew his hand, and Xiao Qiu vanished from their sight once more.

Shen Qingzhou ignored these questions and continued to question Lu Zhaozhao.

How old are you this year?

"I am six years old this year."

At six years old, he was about the same height as Xiao Qiu, who was four years old.

"Are you sleepy? If you are, take a nap," Shen Qingzhou continued.

"I'm not sleepy, I don't want to sleep," Lu Zhaozhao said.

"No, you're sleepy, you want to sleep now."

Lu Zhaozhao's eyes glazed over instantly, and she murmured softly, "Yes, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep."

Then he yawned and curled up on the cushion and fell asleep.

The three people beside him instantly snapped back to reality, opening their eyes as they were about to close. Their hearts pounded, and a sense of fear spread from the depths of their hearts. They had actually been affected as well. This Master Shen was truly amazing.

"What about the other things?" Shen Qingzhou turned to Jiang Xinyue and asked.

"Here."

Jiang Xinyue hurriedly handed over the bag she had been carrying, and Jiang Haichao also took out the hair that he had hidden close to his body.

"We were worried that it wouldn't be enough, so we brought his underwear and hair," Jiang Haichao hurriedly said.

Shen Qingzhou glanced at the pile of dirty clothes in the bag and said with a look of disgust, "Just put them aside, just put them aside."

Jiang Xinyue quickly took out the clothes and piled them on the ground next to her. Jiang Haichao also carefully placed the few hairs he had on his hands on the ground, leaving a few strands behind just in case.

Just then, Shen Qingzhou began to take off her clothes.
