The old man's eyes were tightly shut as he lay motionless on the bed in the dusky yellow bedchamber.
His fingernails had turned a greenish-black colour as if they were covered in tainted blood. His face was extremely pale. His brows were tightly knitted together as if he was enduring a great deal of pain.
As the room door was pushed open, a ray of sunlight shone into the room. When the sunlight shone on the old man's body, his pained expression deepened. Long Yuan was so frightened that he quickly shut the door after everyone had entered the room.
Lan Ge stared at the old man's pained expression and his eyes flashed with emotion.
Regardless of how the Dragon Clan had treated him, this old man before him was his legitimate maternal grandfather!
"He has indeed been poisoned." Gu Ruoyun understood the situation when she saw the old man's condition. She then asked, "May I ask, who was the one who had asked you to search for the antidote herb?"
She slowly turned around and stared at the Dragon Clan elder behind her.
"This, we had read about it in an ancient book in the Dragon Clan." Long Ling 'er did not wait for the others to speak before she hurriedly explained, "According to the records in the ancient book, the poison that the Clan Leader has been inflicted with should be a spiritual snake's venom. That spiritual snake's venom is made from the saliva of a spiritual snake which is how it got its name. Hence, only an antidote herb called the Violet Moon Herb can cure the Clan Leader."
Gu Ruoyun looked at Long Ling 'er and slowly explained, "That antidote herb is not the Violet Moon Herb but the Six Leaf Herb! The Six Leaf Herb is also a type of antidote herb and looks very similar to the Violet Moon Herb. The only difference is that the Violet Moon Herb has a pattern on its rhizome. Aside from this, it would be very difficult for a layman to differentiate between the two. "
She paused at this point and continued to speak under Long Ling 'er's astonished gaze, "As this Six Leaf Herb had been snatched from the Tyrannical Sky Tiger's mouth, you had never seen its rhizome. Hence, you had mistaken it for the Clan Leader. If you had shown me the Clan Leader's condition earlier, perhaps he would not have mistakenly consumed the Six Leaf Herb."
Every poison has a corresponding antidote herb. If one were to mistakenly consume another antidote herb, their condition would worsen.
Just like the Clan Leader now.
Long Ling 'er returned to her senses and asked anxiously, "Lady Gu, can you save the Clan Leader? As long as you can save the Clan Leader, you will be the Dragon Clan's honored guests from now on. The Dragon Clan will satisfy any request of yours."
Her words were filled with sincerity, and her eyes revealed her deep concern for the clan leader.
The elders did not say a word. If Gu Ruoyun could really save the Clan Leader, the Dragon Clan would definitely treat her as an honored guest. They would also fulfill any of her requests.
After all, the Patriarch was too important to the Dragon Clan.
"Save … I can save him."
Gu Ruoyun calmly raised the corners of her lips, "However, after saving him, I need you to do two things! You can rest assured that these two matters will not threaten your Dragon Clan, and I have no interest in your Dragon Clan. "
Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of all the elders were somewhat ugly.
When humans tried to subdue the Dragon Clan, they were furious. However, when they heard Gu Ruoyun say that she was not interested in the Dragon Clan, they felt very unhappy.
This feeling was really despicable!
"If you can really save the Clan Leader, forget about two requests, I will fulfill all ten of them."
Gu Ruoyun looked at Long Yuan, "My first request is very simple, I want everyone in the Dragon Clan to apologize to Lan Ge and acknowledge his existence!"
This time, forget about the others, even Lan Ge himself was shocked.
He stared at Gu Ruoyun with a peculiar light in his eyes and his heart was filled with emotion.
Lan Ge never thought that Gu Ruoyun would be thinking about him at a time like this.
Chapter 1436 – Saving Someone (4)
"My second request." Gu Ruoyun paused, "I know that the Dragon Clan is hiding the corpse of an Ancient Dragon. That Ancient Dragon was the previous king of the Dragon Clan! So, my second request is that I want his body. "
Gu Ruoyun did not mention the Ancient Dragon's Bile. Instead, she suggested that they take the Ancient Dragon's corpse with them.
The entire room instantly fell silent.
It was so quiet that even the sound of the other party's breathing could be heard clearly …
Long Yuan gently furrowed his brows, clearly finding Gu Ruoyun's request very difficult.
In the midst of everyone's silence, the woman's voice rang out again, "Of course, you can choose to refuse!"
"I really can't give you an accurate answer on this matter." Long Yuan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed. "If the Clan Leader wakes up and is willing to let you take the Ancient Dragon's body away, we have nothing to say! However, this matter must be decided by the Clan Leader. "
What he meant was that Gu Ruoyun should heal the Clan Leader first. If the Clan Leader agrees, she could take the Ancient Dragon's body away.
Gu Ruoyun did not say anything else and walked towards the Clan Leader who was lying on the bed.
"Prepare some silver needles for me, they need to be sterilized."
When Long Yuan heard Gu Ruoyun's instructions, he quickly sent Long Yan to prepare the needles. Even though Long Yan was very reluctant, in the end, he still obediently went to prepare the items for Gu Ruoyun.
However, Long Yan still does not believe that this woman can heal the Clan Leader.
She must be trying to take advantage of this opportunity to harm him!
I really don't understand why Elder Long Yuan had believed her in the end …
Not too long after, Long Yan returned with the sterilized needles and placed them in Gu Ruoyun's hands with an expressionless face. He then scoffed icily before turning around and walking towards the crowd behind him.
The room had returned to its peaceful state once again.
Gu Ruoyun held her breath as she slowly pierced the sterilized needles into the Clan Leader's fingertips. As the needles penetrated deeper, the crowd could clearly see that the glowing needles were slowly turning black.
They then watched as Gu Ruoyun produced a pill from who knows where and shoved it into the Clan Leader's mouth.
Long Yuan wanted to stop her but it was too late. He could only watch as Gu Ruoyun fed the Clan Leader something unknown. Just as he was about to question her further, Gu Ruoyun withdrew the needles and calmly said, "Alright, let him rest for a while and he'll wake up."
Long Yuan blinked as he stared at the woman's indifferent face, "That simple?"
"This spiritual snake's venom isn't much of a problem. It's very easy to cure. If you don't believe me, you can come and take a look. Besides, spiritual snake venom is most afraid of sunlight. Perhaps you can try opening the door."
Gu Ruoyun calmly replied as if she did not take Long Yuan's doubts to heart.
Long Yuan glanced at Gu Ruoyun before he turned around and opened the door. A ray of sunlight then shone into the room and enveloped the Clan Leader's body. He was sleeping peacefully, calm and peaceful.
"It's alright, the Clan Leader is really alright now!"
Long Yuan's heart was filled with excitement. Only the heavens knew how much he had worried about the Clan Leader's illness over the past few days.
"That's great. Miss, you've saved the Clan Leader so you're the Dragon Clan's benefactor. The Dragon Clan may hate humans but we're not the kind of people who would bite the hand that feeds us! I'll arrange for you to rest in the Clan Leader's mansion. As for your request, I'll wait for the Clan Leader to wake up and give you an answer. "
He then turned towards Long Ling 'er and said, "Ling' er, take our esteemed guest to rest. Treat her with the highest courtesy of the Dragon Clan."
