In the face of Gu Beiyue's patient questioning, Gu was getting impatient.
He pushed aside Gu Beiyue's hand and explained, "This old man really did recover. I just used up too much energy inside the seal, that's all. I've been eating and sleeping my fill for the past two days, so I've really recovered? If you don't believe me, why don't we go out and fight now? "
"Okay, let's fight." Gu Beiyue actually agreed.
Gu was stunned at first, then regretted his decision. "It's not good to wake Poison Lass up in the middle of the night. Let's do it tomorrow! At daybreak tomorrow, we'll meet at the back of the mountain. Those who don't come are cowards! "
Gu Beiyue's gentle gaze suddenly turned serious. He didn't say anything as he scrutinized Gu.
If Gu didn't avoid the question, he might have thought that Gu was in a good state. However, Gu's evasive attitude made him very sure that this guy was hiding something from him.
Gu Qishao rose to his feet and avoided Gu Beiyue's scrutinizing gaze. "I say, Academy Head Gu, why are you bothering this old man in the middle of the night instead of accompanying your Fourth Young Miss Ren?"
"Fourth Miss Ren isn't mine. Don't spout nonsense." Gu Beiyue stood up as well.
Gu couldn't wait for this guy to change the topic. He laughed and sat on the table. "Didn't you say that you would definitely marry her? Why, would you let go of such a good candidate like Fourth Miss Ren? "
Gu Beiyue couldn't be bothered to answer. "Let's go to the backyard."
Gu suddenly closed in and narrowed his eyes. He whispered, "Gu Beiyue, you like Poison Lass, don't you?"
Gu Beiyue was unperturbed. "Are you going or not?"
"I could tell when we were at the Duke of Qin's Residence and the Han Family!" Gu continued.
Gu Beiyue still ignored him and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to go?"
"Gu Beiyue, you don't want to marry a wife, but you want to marry a dean's wife, right?"
Gu Beiyue looked straight into Gu Beiyue's eyes, as if trying to see through his eyes and see his truest heart.
However, Gu Beiyue used one sentence to completely defeat Gu.
He said, "Seventh Young Master, tomorrow morning is fine too. However, I'm not free tomorrow morning, but His Highness is.
Gu's expression froze. Suddenly, all the strength in his body disappeared. He returned to the couch and lay on his back, muttering, "Gu Beiyue, there's no need to fight anymore. You've won."
Gu's words about Han Yunxi and Fourth Young Mistress Ren didn't seem to affect Gu Beiyue at all. He strode over and asked seriously, "What's wrong with you?"
"Gu Beiyue, I can stay in Medical City with you and not go anywhere. However, you have to promise me one thing, "Gu said seriously," Don't tell anyone, including Poison Lass and Long Fei Ye. "
Seeing Gu Beiyue hesitate, Gu hurriedly said, "We'll talk about it after Poison Lass gives birth!"
Gu Beiyue considered it for a long time before finally nodding. "Okay!"
Gu didn't say anything else. He pulled up his sleeves and revealed his arm. Gu Beiyue gasped when he saw the condition of his arm. "How did this happen?"
"Gu Beiyue, do you think … I'll die?" Gu asked with a smile.
"No!" Gu Beiyue was very certain.
Gu smiled even more brightly. "Okay, I'll believe you if you say you won't!"
That night, Gu Beiyue stayed with Gu for the entire night. The next morning, he hurried to the prison cell in the medical school to look for Gu Yuntian.
As for Gu, he didn't go anywhere. He didn't even know that Gu Beiyue had gone out. He lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
During breakfast, Han Yunxi asked, "Why haven't I seen Gu for the past two days? What's he doing? "
If Gu knew that Poison Lass was thinking about him early in the morning, would he be happy? Poison Lass had never thought about him. She always found him annoying and chased him away.
A complicated look flashed across Long Fei Ye's eyes. He said mildly, "I even saw him with Gu Beiyue last night."
Han Yunxi didn't take it to heart. After all, she didn't know what happened to Gu in the barrier. Gu had always appeared and disappeared mysteriously. It was normal to not see him for a few days.
"Xu Donglin, go and find both of them. Tell them that I have something to discuss with them." Han Yunxi said seriously.
What she wanted to discuss was none other than Gu's immortal body.
However, Xu Donglin couldn't find Gu Beiyue and Gu even after looking around.
"Gu Beiyue isn't here either?" Han Yunxi asked.
Xu Donglin shook his head. "Why don't we go and take a look at Fourth Miss Ren?"
Helplessly, Xu Donglin made a trip but still couldn't find him.
"Where's Lil Thing? Let Lil Thing look for her. She'll definitely find her. "Han Yunxi was rather uneasy.
"Princess, Lil Thing is over at the obstetrics department. However, Fourth Miss Ren said sir Northmoon hasn't been there in the past two days." Xu Donglin replied honestly.
"Then what's Lil Thing doing over there?" Han Yunxi became suspicious.
Xu Donglin said, "It's just squatting on the roof beam. It's not doing anything. Fourth Miss Ren said Lil Thing has been watching her for two days already. She doesn't know what Lil Thing wants to do either. "
Han Yunxi said nothing. She wanted to communicate with Lil Thing through her consciousness, but she suddenly discovered Lil Thing had lost the poison beast's blood. It had been unable to communicate with her a long time ago.
"Nothing's happened to them, right?" Han Yunxi looked towards Long Fei Ye. She had no time to worry about Lil Thing anymore.
"Don't worry," Long Fei Ye said indifferently.
It wasn't until nighttime that Gu Beiyue appeared in front of Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye.
Long Fei Ye seemed to have guessed something, but he didn't say anything. Han Yunxi, on the other hand, was extremely suspicious. "Where did you go? You couldn't find him for an entire day? "
"I went to look for Seventh Young Master. I searched the entire Medical City for him for an entire day but couldn't find him," Gu Beiyue said helplessly.
These words immediately diverted Han Yunxi's attention to Gu. She was about to ask when Gu's chuckling voice rang out from outside the door.
"Poison Lass! Poison Lass, guess what Qi Brother brought for you? "
Gu Qishao strode through the door with two large bags of piping hot snacks in his hands. He placed the things on the table and spread them out, filling the entire table. The aroma immediately spread out, making one's mouth water.
He began to introduce the snacks as if they were his family treasures. These were all famous snacks from the towns and villages around Medical City.
"I heard that pregnant women will suffer from anorexia, so Qi Brother specially found these for you. I ran all day and tried them all. They're harmless and non-toxic. Hurry up and try them, see which one suits your appetite, "Gu said seriously.
Han Yunxi couldn't even remember how many times she'd done this. Gu had almost cleaned out all of Cloud Realm Continent's famous snacks for her.
Long Fei Ye only commented, "Too idle."
"As long as Poison Lass is happy!" Gu retorted.
Long Fei Ye was too lazy to argue with him, so he simply sat down and started eating. Seeing Long Fei Ye start, the gluttonous Han Yunxi immediately sat down as well. She called for Gu Beiyue, Gu, and Xu Donglin to sit down and eat. Just like that, everyone's dinner was taken care of by Gu.
After the meal, Gu prepared to slip away. Han Yunxi called him back. "Stop right there, I've been waiting for you all day. Let's go to Academy Head Gu's consultation room."
Gu turned back with a smile. "I'll go wherever you say."
Long Fei Ye glanced at Gu Beiyue, who happened to look back and shake his head at him. It wasn't clear whether Long Fei Ye understood Gu Beiyue's meaning, but he didn't say a word.
When they reached the study, Gu Beiyue took out a thick record book and a thin booklet of medicinal ingredients. "Princess, this subordinate got these from Gu Yuntian. These are all records of the medicines Qishao used from the time he was in his mother's womb until he left Medical City. Here's the list of ingredients this subordinate compiled. Princess, you can just look at it. "
Han Yunxi only glanced at the booklet without looking at it in detail.
She asked seriously, "Qishao, how did you grow these thorny vines? Why thorny vines? Isn't it something else? "
Gu's blood could nourish the thorny vines, allowing them to be immortal and immune to poison just like him. Han Yunxi had always suspected that the secret behind this was Gu's blood.
And the reason Gu became like this must have something to do with him being used as a test subject since he was young. In other words, it had something to do with the medicines he used.
No matter how rare these medicines were, it was impossible to become immortal after taking them. However, there was a complicated reaction between the medicines, so it might be possible.
This matter couldn't be solved in a day or two. Han Yunxi knew that she couldn't solve it with her own abilities, so before she left Medical City, she had to tell Gu Beiyue and Gu everything she knew and guessed so that they could stay in Medical City and slowly study it.
Gu took out a blood-red seed. "Look, what's the difference?"
Han Yunxi looked at it carefully and didn't see anything strange. She asked seriously, "Gu, what kind of plant is your thorny vines?"
Thorny vines weren't actually thorny vines, it was just a name for the plant.
Thorny vines weren't a type of plant, but two types of plants. To be precise, thorny vines referred to thorny branches, while thorny vines referred to thorny vegetation. Thorny vines were a general term for thorny shrubs in the forest.
Thorny vines, on the other hand, were generally referred to thorny vines.
"Blood vines."
Gu said as he pried open the blood-red seed. A drop of blood dripped out of the seed.
Gu Beiyue looked at it seriously and asked, "Seventh Young Master, this is … your blood?"
"Yes!" Gu was rarely so serious, so he began to explain.
A few years ago, he was tired of growing medicine in Medicine Ghost Valley, so he had been trying to figure out a plant to use as a weapon. Later on, he found a rare vine called the thorny vine. It was a plant that fed on animal corpses. Once it absorbed enough of the essence in the flesh, it would germinate and grow very, very long within two hours. The thorny vine was extremely flexible and could be used as a rope or a whip.
This plant gave him inspiration. He planted the seed in his own flesh and found that after the thorny vine seed absorbed his blood, it actually grew instantly and could be controlled by him. Later on, he used his blood to nourish the thorny vine seed and planted it in the flesh of animals and ordinary people. He found that the seed could also grow rapidly and could be controlled by him. Later on, he even planted the seed directly on the ground. The seed could germinate and grow at any time for him to use.
He named the seed that he had nourished with his blood as a blood vine. If the blood vine grew from his body, it would be immortal and immune to all poisons as long as it remained connected to his body. Other than that, there was nothing special about the blood vine other than being able to be controlled by him.
After Gu finished speaking, Han Yunxi, Gu Beiyue, and Long Fei Ye exchanged glances.
Gu Beiyue muttered, "Seventh Young Master, the problem must be in your blood!"
