He Buning didn't first ask how Sang Que was cursed, or by whom, but rather asked back, "Don't you have the Connected Branch?"
Sang Que's pupils contracted slightly, realizing that using the Connected Branch could resolve the curse on her body and transfer the curse to someone else? Could it really be that simple?
But unfortunately, she had intentionally left the Connected Branch at home for her mother to use for protection, since she 'had already used the Connected Branch to let Xia Chan block the Gambling Ghost's attack for her.'
At this moment, Sang Que didn't know if He Buning had been attacked by the Gambling Ghost, nor why he specifically mentioned the Connected Branch—whether he was testing something or blaming her for something.
He even knew that she got the Connected Branch from Wei Wu, which must mean he had investigated the Gambling Ghost incident.
