The next second, Xia Liang once again pulled a half-white, half-black Lifespan Talisman from his coat.
The surrounding members of the Chu Family froze, their faces turning pale as death. Even Elder Chu Guoying swayed, struggling to stand steady.
"Master... Master Xia," Chu Guoying exclaimed in horror, "are you going to shorten my lifespan as punishment?"
He hadn't forgotten that Xia Liang had told him he wouldn't live more than three months. If Xia Liang made a mark, his life would be over.
Hearing this, Xia Liang simply shook his head. "This is the last thing Chu Lingmu will do for you as part of the Chu Family."
He glanced at Chu Lingmu, who paused for two seconds before grasping his meaning and nodding firmly.
Seeing her nod, Xia Liang turned back to Elder Chu Guoying. "I'm gifting you one year of life. Your illness will be halted for a year. After that, whether you find a cure or not has nothing to do with me."
