Han Yunxi and Mu Ling 'er circled around the unconscious Gu, while Long Fei Ye and Gu Beiyue stood beneath the thorny tree.
The two of them had been studying the thorny tree since last night.
Just like Gu Qishao's, it couldn't be poisoned to death or burned to death. This further proved Han Yunxi's theory of plant essence. This thorny tree had been born from the plant essence in Gu's body, so it naturally inherited Gu's undying and indestructible body.
More specifically, it wasn't undying or indestructible, but its immunity was higher than other creatures' and its lifespan was much longer.
Long Fei Ye suddenly unsheathed his sword and used the Lustbite energy to hack at a few thorny vines. A single slash was all it took to shatter the thorny vines.
Han Yunxi and Mu Ling 'er both looked back. Han Yunxi grinned and said, "Long Fei Ye, this tree belongs to Gu. You can't damage it!"
Long Fei Ye saw that Han Yunxi was in a good mood, so he was too lazy to argue with her.
Han Yunxi's words reminded Gu Beiyue of something. He quickly added, "Your Highness, it's better to send someone to guard this tree. If the plant essence falls into someone else's hands, it'll be as troublesome as the Poison Sect's Poison Gu humans!"
If plant essence could turn a person into an undying and indestructible body, then countless ambitious people in the world would fight over it. How many immoral doctors would use people for experiments?
This matter had to be kept a secret.
And this tree had to be protected.
Long Fei Ye had long thought of this point. Last night, he'd left the task to Chu Xifeng. He wasn't just going to guard the tree, but the mountain as well. Otherwise, the tree would be too suspicious.
This was a military base, so it wouldn't raise any suspicions if he sent someone to guard the mountain.
At noon that day, Han Yunxi and the others returned to the barracks. Gu was settled in his tent. When Ning Jing saw that they had returned and that Gu was fine, she finally felt relieved.
It was only then that Mu Ling 'er realized that both Ning Jing and Tang Li were in the military camp. She did not mention much about Qi Brother. Instead, she dragged Ning Jing to tell her about Tang Tang's interesting stories. Little Tang Tang was one year old and was at the age when she was very cute. There was always a basket of interesting things to talk about in the letters!
While everyone was in the camp, Ning Jing called Tang Li over to let Gu Beiyue take a look. Tang Li still treated everyone as air. She sat beside Ning Jing in a daze.
Gu Beiyue could do nothing about mental trauma. No matter how good he was, he couldn't prescribe medicine that could cure mental trauma!
However, Gu Beiyue still pretended to do some tests and gave Ning Jing some good news so that Ning Jing could see hope.
Ning Jing was Tang Li's medicine. Gu Beiyue had to let Ning Jing see hope so that Ning Jing could persevere.
"Since he has memories of hidden weapons and doesn't reject them, I suggest that you go back to the place he's most familiar with." Gu Beiyue was not lying. He was serious.
Ning Jing nodded. If it weren't for Gu's incident, she would have gone back to the Tang Sect with Tang Li today.
"Sister Jing, don't worry. Mrs. Tang doted on Tang Tang very much and took very good care of her. She's even nagging every day about why you're not back yet. "Mu Ling 'er hurriedly said.
"I'm preparing to go back," Ning Jing said indifferently.
Mu Ling 'er looked apologetic. "Sister Jing, I can't accompany you anymore. I have to go to Medical City with Qi Brother."
"Silly girl, I didn't ask you to accompany me." Ning Jing didn't hold back.
Mu Ling 'er had bumped into her at Three-Way Black Market and almost caused her to have a miscarriage. She had been with her for long enough. Now, it wasn't Mu Ling 'er who owed her anything. On the contrary, she owed Mu Ling' er a favor.
Although Ning Jing didn't say it, she knew very well in her heart.
At this moment, Han Yunxi thought of something and smiled. "Ning Jing, Tang Li still owes Ling 'er a debt!"
Mu Ling 'er and Ning Jing looked confused. They obviously didn't know about this.
"Back at Three-Way Black Market, Tang Li said that the Tang Sect would prepare a generous dowry for Ling 'er when she gets married," Han Yunxi said seriously.
Back then, Tang Li was grateful to Mu Ling 'er for faking her pregnancy. Even if it meant ruining his own reputation, he would still protect Ning Jing. A girl's reputation was priceless. This favor was more important than anything else.
"I'll remember it!" Ning Jing said seriously.
Han Yunxi looked at Tang Li and asked jokingly, "Sect Master Tang, you can't go back on your word."
Han Yunxi was just joking. Unexpectedly, Tang Li suddenly looked at her thoughtfully.
This time, everyone was shocked.
Unfortunately, Tang Li only looked at Han Yunxi for a while and didn't have any other reaction.
"Miss Jing, when you return to the Tang Sect, perhaps you can tell Sect Master Tang more about the past. Treat him as someone with amnesia, "Gu Beiyue said.
Ning Jing nodded seriously and remembered it.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised by Tang Li's change, but they didn't notice Mu Ling 'er's gloomy eyes. At the mention of dowry, she remembered her promise with Jin Zi.
She had promised to marry Jin Zi and return to Wintercrow with him.
Jin Zi had also promised to give her a year. If Qi Brother still didn't like her, she had to go with him.
A year was so long.
But she clearly didn't feel like much time had passed. Why was the date of the promise almost here? The deadline was in two months.
Mu Ling 'er really didn't know what to do. She shook her head and decided to forget about it for now. In the next month or two, she had to take good care of Qi Brother.
As they chatted, Granny Zhao carried Rui 'er over.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye stood up at the same time. Both of them wanted to carry him, but Han Yunxi let Long Fei Ye have him.
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye stepped back and said calmly, "You carry him."
Although he hadn't seen his precious son for a day, Long Fei Ye still missed him dearly. Why didn't he carry him all of a sudden? Of course, only Han Yunxi and Granny Zhao knew the reason.
Mu Ling 'er quickly ran over. "Sister, let me see, let me see!"
Rui 'er, who was almost a month old, no longer looked like a newborn with wrinkled skin. Instead, he had transformed into an extremely adorable child. His skin was as fair and delicate as if it had been washed with milk. His small features were exquisite and adorable.
At this moment, he was staring curiously at Mu Ling 'er.
Mu Ling 'er couldn't take her eyes off him. After a while, she suddenly said, "Sister, I want to have my own child too!"
Han Yunxi smiled helplessly. "Alright, get married first."
Han Yunxi was still thinking about Mu Ling 'er and Jin Zi. However, she had been too busy recently. When she was free, she had to find out more about Jin Zi's situation in Northern Li.
She couldn't be bothered to interfere in other people's affairs, but she had to care about Mu Ling 'er's affairs. If she didn't care, who knew if this girl would be abducted?
"Sister, can I hold him for a while?" Mu Ling 'er blinked her big eyes and pleaded.
"Two hugs is fine too," Han Yunxi teased.
Mu Ling 'er was overjoyed. She loved children, and this was her sister's son and her nephew. How could she not love and dote on him?
She excitedly took Rui 'er from Han Yunxi's arms. Her movements were more skillful than Han Yunxi's as a mother. After all, she had personally taken care of little Tang Tang from birth until he was almost one year old. She was good at holding children and even better at coaxing them.
"Sister, look, Rui 'er isn't afraid of strangers!" Mu Ling' er was overjoyed.
Who knew that just as she finished speaking, Rui 'er actually grinned at Mu Ling' er. His smile melted Mu Ling 'er's heart.
"Sister, look, Rui 'er likes me. He's smiling at me! He's smiling at me! "Mu Ling 'er was very excited.
Granny Zhao was happy and excited when she saw the little master smile. She couldn't stop smiling. "Miss Ling 'er, the little master is bold and isn't afraid of strangers! If he smiles, it means he likes you. If he cries, it means he definitely doesn't like you. "
"Granny Zhao, you're spouting nonsense! How can crying mean he likes me? "Mu Ling 'er retorted.
Her words caused a burst of laughter. Granny Zhao didn't mind and smiled foolishly. "This old servant is … so happy that I'm muddle-headed!"
Granny Zhao had been happy ever since the little master was born. She was still immersed in joy even now.
Granny Zhao was indeed muddle-headed. Otherwise, she would have noticed that her First Master, Long Fei Ye, was standing at the side with an ugly expression on his face.
The reason Long Fei Ye didn't hug Rui 'er earlier was because he was afraid that Rui' er would cry in front of everyone!
Mu Ling 'er couldn't bear to let go of Rui' er once she hugged him. If it wasn't for the fact that she had to take care of Gu, she would definitely have stayed in the military camp. She teased Rui 'er, making funny faces and tickling him. Rui' er giggled until he burped in the end.
Gu Beiyue walked over and gave the little master a serious look. His soft eyes grew even softer as he doted on the boy. It was enough to make one drown in his gaze and dream of a lifetime of beautiful dreams!
"Doctor Gu, do you want a hug?" Mu Ling 'er asked.
Gu Beiyue wanted to, but he didn't dare to.
"Hug him. He'll definitely like you too." Mu Ling 'er smiled.
"He'll definitely like you! Hurry up and hug him! "Han Yunxi urged. She didn't want to hurt Long Fei Ye, but wanted to verify once again whether Rui 'er was afraid of strangers.
Who knew that when Gu Beiyue carefully carried Rui 'er, Rui' er actually didn't cry and even grinned at him.
That's strange!
How is this being afraid of strangers? He's so young, yet he doesn't know how to be afraid of strangers!
He clearly doesn't like his father!
She didn't know about babies. Han Yunxi looked at Long Fei Ye's sullen face and suddenly realized that there was finally a man in this world who could control Long Fei Ye. That was his precious son!
Gu Beiyue still knew his manners and returned Rui 'er to Mu Ling' er after a while. Mu Ling 'er didn't care about the rules. She wanted to hug him to her heart's content before leaving!
She turned back to look at Han Yunxi and smiled slyly. "Sister, we're leaving tomorrow. I'll sleep with Rui 'er tonight, okay?"
Han Yunxi gladly agreed!
One night was too short. It was finally time to say goodbye again.
Before Gu Beiyue left, Long Fei Ye mentioned the matter of Medical City and Medicine City joining forces with the military to rush to the northern part of Northern Li to relieve the disaster and fight the plague.
Gu Beiyue knew Long Fei Ye's ultimate goal. He said faintly, "Your Highness, don't worry about preparing for the ascension. Leave it to me."
Long Fei Ye said softly, "I hope you can hold the position of Head of the Imperial Hospital and Grand Tutor. What do you think?"
