Chapter 360 Can’t He Just Die?
One of the esteemed members of the geomancy a*sociation resided in a courtyard.
The man who guarded Jodie hurriedly entered.
He only stopped when he reached the main entrance of the courtyard. Respectfully, he announced, “Master, I have arrived.”
A hoarse voice emanated from the room. “Come in!”
When he heard this, the man’s b*dy stiffened.
The master must have been affected by the backlash. It had been over 20 years since anyone had heard that voice.
His face
grew even paler as he entered the room!
He saw the master sitting cross-legged, and he appeared several decades older.
The person who sat cross-legged opened their eyes, and their gaze filled with coldness. “What happened to Jodie?”
The man immediately knelt down..”Master, Jodie has been acting independently. She was already in an unstable condition due to the curse placed upon her.”
He proceeded to explain everything about the recent backlash during the fight.
The person who sat cross-legged furrowed their brow. “Are you certain it was Simone?”
The man nodded. “Yes, I am certain it was Simone.”
“But is her strength truly that formidable?” The person sitting cross-legged doubted that Simone could easily break the curse.
“Could someone else have intervened?” they inquired. “During the fight, did you sense any other presence?”
The man shook his head. “I did not sense anything. I only noticed one aura.”
The
person sitting cross-legged pondered for a moment. “There must be another person. They possess power beyond your detection. Considering Simone’s cultivation and strength, it is implausible for her to both fight with you and swiftly break the curse.”
The man agreed. “That is also what I believe.”

He contemplated for a moment, then pointed to the sky. “Master, could it be the person who intervened? During the livestream, he mentioned that he could resolve Andrew’s issue.”
If it was that person, it would explain their overwhelming power.
The person sitting cross-legged snorted coldly. “You’re useless. Do I need you to state the obvious?” They also suspected that the ancestor had intervened.
If that were the case, it would be troublesome.
The man’s heart tightened, and his b*dy trembled slightly. “Master, I apologize.”
He knew that if the master did not favor him, his fate would be miserable.
The
person sitting cross-legged suddenly changed the topic and asked, “How is Jane doing?” The man replied, “She was originally supposed to be cursed by Simone, but now she is also suffering from the backlash of her own luck. She is barely clinging to life.”
She was also foolish.
The person sitting cross-legged pondered for a moment and said, “Within three days, have someone bring Jane to the geomancy a*sociation. When she arrives, bring her to me along with Jodie.”
He emphasized, “Jodie is an indispensable key player, and she’s very important. You must continue to stay by her side. If anything happens to her again, you do not need to return.”
The man breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully said, “Yes!” After the disciple left, the man sitting cross-legged became increasingly uneasy.
He truly wanted to know whether Simone was the one who broke the curse or if someone else was involved.
So, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Jodie’s mother.
In another courtyard, Jodie, who had been rolling on the ground, felt like a new person once the tearing sensation disappeared.
This feeling was much more intense and torturous than the pain of being slapped by Simone.
More importantly, she felt like she had lost about a third of the most important thing.
She struggled to stand up as her whole b*dy was weak, and her feet felt like they were stepping on cotton, ready to give way at any moment.
But she still unsteadily walked into the bathroom.

When she saw herself in the mirror, Jodie’s face changed drastically, and she couldn’t help but scream repeatedly, “Ah!”
She couldn’t believe that the old woman in the reflection was actually her.
Just as the man was returning to the courtyard, he saw his fellow disciples looking at him. with meaningful eyes.
There was a hint of ambiguity as if he had done something that left them speechless.
He felt puzzled.
When he looked over, they quickly averted their gaze.
Then, several screams suddenly erupted from his room.
Those people looked at him with indescribable eyes.
The man was speechless. D*mn it, he finally understood why.
Apparently, they thought he had some illicit relationship with Jodie.
He cursed inwardly as to how he could be interested in a foolish woman with such an ugly face.
Did he appear that desperate? He coldly scanned the onlookers. “Don’t you all have anything better to do?” Everyone was still quite afraid of this senior, so they dispersed immediately.
They muttered, “This senior’s taste is truly something…”
The man walked back to his own room.
When he heard Jodie still screaming, he irritably said, “Shut up.”
He had already been misunderstood before, and if this continued, he didn’t know what rumors would spread about him.
Jodie heard the man’s words and forced herself to come out.
When he looked at her teary eyes, she collapsed into his arms when he approached.
She hugged him and said, “Oh no, Jonas… What should I do? You must help me!” The man was shocked by how old and ugly Jodie had become.
She continued to hold him tightly and cried in his arms, but he felt disgusted and nauseated.
He forcefully pulled Jodie out of his embrace and callously pushed her to the ground.

He disdainfully said, “Men and women should not be so intimate with each other.”
Jodie fell heavily to the ground and felt utterly bewildered.
After all, this move had always worked in the past.
She cursed at him and called him anything but a man.
However, she still pleaded with him as her face was filled with sorrow. “Jonas, you promised my brother that you would take good care of me.”
She reached out and tugged at his pants-leg. “I’ve ended up help me.”
like this; you must
The man took two steps back. “I have already spoken to my master, and in a couple of days, I will take you to see him. He will a*sist you then.”
Jodie had never known about the master.
He warned her again, “But for the next few days, do not go out causing trouble anymore; otherwise, no one will be able to save you.”
The misunderstanding among his fellow disciples had served as a reminder for him.
In the future, he should stay away from Jodie unless necessary, or else he would face dire consequences.
Jodie felt a glimmer of hope in her heart; it seemed that he did care about her. She nodded and rea*sured him, “Don’t worry, I will remain here for the next few days.”
Given her current unattractive appearance, it would be impossible for her to venture outside.
