Luo Zuishan looked disdainful, but his heart was filled with astonishment. If he hadn't been kidnapped, he'd probably be asking Han Yunxi, "How's that kid Gu doing?"
He'd watched Gu grow up, so there was probably no one else in the world who understood Gu better than him, right?
A woman who could make Gu talk so much couldn't be simple!
Moreover, Gu not only called her "Poison lass," but did Han Yunxi a huge favor as well. If not for Gu, Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue would've been sentenced to death by Emperor Tianhui long ago.
"What do you mean by 'not much'?" Gu's tone revealed a rare hint of anxiety.
He always did things his own way and was unrestrained. Why did he suddenly care so much about other people's opinions?
Seeing this, Luo Zuishan was even more incredulous. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Kid, do you fancy that girl's poison skills, or her person?"
The simple-minded Gu spaced out for a second, but quickly gave Luo Zuishan a serious and definite answer. "Of course it's her poison skills."
"What's so good about her poison skills? Is she better than you? I saw her use those poison needles just then, but they were only so-so. " Luo Zuishan was deliberately belittling him. Although he didn't understand assassination weapons, he could tell that the strength and speed of those needles were extraordinary.
"So-so. Actually … seriously speaking, they're not that great," Gu smiled.
Of course Luo Zuishan didn't believe him, but continued probing. "Really?"
Gu finally caught on and rolled his eyes, his expression indifferent. "It's up to you to believe it or not. If you don't, forget it."
"Hmph!"
Luo Zuishan grew angry. He narrowed his eyes and drew closer to Gu. "Stinking brat, you used Old Man's position as director to apply for an Elder's Command Decree from the Council of Elders for the sake of a mere poison-using girl. Do you think that's fun? What do you see in that girl? "
Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue had only been locked up in the Supreme Court for two days before Luo Zuishan, who was far away in Northern Li, was able to rush over with the Elder's Token. This speed was all thanks to Gu's help.
Luo Zuishan was truly enraged. Not only had Gu told him about Xi Yubo's misdiagnosis, but he had also used his position as a director as a wager to apply for an Elder's Order to the Council of Elders for a consultation.
No, no, to be more precise, Gu had acted first and reported later. He had first used Luo Zuishan's title as a director as a wager to apply for a Consultation Elder Decree from the Council of Elders. Only then did he inform Luo Zuishan of Xi Yubo's misdiagnosis.
As such, Luo Zuishan had no choice but to make an appearance.
After all, if Luo Zuishan couldn't prove that Xi Yubo's diagnosis was wrong, then his position as director would be stripped.
In reality, Luo Zuishan still hadn't figured out what was going on with Long Tianmo's big belly.
The reason he was so confident that he could defeat Xi Yubo at the Council of Elders was because Gu had promised to tell him the secret of Long Tianmo's big belly as soon as they arrived at Medical City.
Although Luo Zuishan believed that Gu was reliable in this kind of major matter, if Gu didn't have other motives and really was tormenting him like this for the sake of a girl, Luo Zuishan would still feel very sad.
"I took a fancy to her poison skills." Gu still gave the same answer.
Luo Zuishan didn't say anything, but his gaze suddenly became sharp, as if it could penetrate everything. He stared at Gu, clearly still not believing him.
Helpless, the more he stared, the more brilliant Gu's smile became. "Hehe, I also took a fancy to her in passing."
Picking out the person he liked, how could this kind of thing be done conveniently?
As he spoke, he lazily straightened his body from the tree trunk and walked back the way he came. Han Yunxi would probably be waiting for him to rescue Luo Zuishan and bring him back.
He helped that girl again. Why did he like helping her so much?
Luo Zuishan looked at his back, thinking back and forth, repeatedly pondering over his words. Suddenly, he came to a realization and asked in surprise, "Boy, she can't be … she can't be the person you've been looking for all this time, right?"
Gu had always been looking for a person, a woman. In the whole world, only Luo Zuishan knew.
Gu's footsteps paused for a moment, but he quickly recovered his original speed. What answered Luo Zuishan was a flirtatious and silent back.
Gu seemed to be walking casually, but he was actually taking small steps in the air and moving very quickly. By the time Luo Zuishan caught up, they had already returned to the place where the caravan had stopped. Everything in front of him left Luo Zuishan, who was originally anxious to ask questions, dumbstruck, and Gu's expression instantly changed.
How could this be?
Han Yunxi and Xi Yubo's carriages had all flipped over, and it was a chaotic scene from a fierce battle. Xi Yubo and Gu Beiyue were both injured and had fallen to the side, but Han Yunxi … had disappeared!
"Where's Han Yunxi?" Gu angrily said, grabbing Gu Beiyue's collar.
"After you guys left, another group of assassins showed up. These three groups should be from the same group. Their target was Qin Wangfei, but esteemed wangfei was outnumbered," Gu Beiyue said seriously.
Gu finally understood and pushed Gu Beiyue away. "This old man has been played!"
This group of assassins had moved in batches, taking Long Tianmo and Luo Zuishan in turn. They had scattered their forces and lured the tiger away from the mountain!
"The third group of assassins is much more powerful than the first two, and they all know how to use poison. Who did that damned girl Han Yunxi offend? The black clothed man who took her away is definitely a top level expert! "
The frightened Xi Yubo couldn't help speaking. The scene just now was as dangerous as it could be. They were all black clothed masked men, and each of them had strong martial arts and powerful poison techniques. Han Yunxi couldn't deal with them all by herself, and in the end, she was taken away by the black clothed man with the strongest martial arts.
"Top level expert?" Gu seemed to have guessed who it was and was very disdainful.
"That's right, they also know poison techniques." Xi Yubo quickly added.
A complicated look flashed in Gu Beiyue's eyes, but he didn't say anything. In the chaos just now, he had seen everything clearly, so he held back and didn't make a move. This group of black clothed assassins knew poison techniques, but the black clothed man who took away Han Yunxi didn't know poison techniques.
It was a black clothed man who had mixed in with the black clothed assassins.
"Where did they go?" Gu angrily looked at Xi Yubo.
Xi Yubo didn't know why, but when he met Gu's long and narrow eyes filled with anger, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
Many years ago, the youth who had been expelled from the medical academy, the foster son of the First Elder of the Council of Elders who fed him medicine every day, had the same look in his eyes when he turned around and stepped out of the medical academy's gates.
Those long and narrow eyes were as bright as the sun when he smiled. How could they hide such deep hostility?
Could this red-robed masked man be him, Gu Qi Sha?
Gu Qi Sha was only ten years old when he was expelled from the medical academy. Within a few years, he had established his own sect and founded the Medicine Ghost Valley. For the past few years, he had always been wearing a black cloak and a mask, and no one had ever seen his true face. Even his foster father, the First Elder of the medical academy, didn't know what he looked like.
Xi Yubo was still immersed in his memories and didn't answer. Gu didn't have that much patience and kicked him. "Where did they go? Speak!"
Only the heavens knew how heavy Gu's kick was. Xi Yubo spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot and couldn't answer. Fortunately, Gu Beiyue answered in time, "The northern forest."
Without another word, Gu chased after them. He had followed them all the way to ensure Han Yunxi's smooth journey to Medical City. Just which damned bastard had lured him away and ruined his plans?
If Luo Zuishan hadn't been kidnapped, he wouldn't have made a move at all.
After Gu left, Xi Yubo ignored the blood at the corner of his mouth and anxiously looked at Luo Zuishan. "You … know him?"
Luo Zuishan sneered inwardly. How could they just know each other? However, he only shook his head and asked Gu Beiyue, "Qin Wangfei knows him, right?"
Gu Beiyue naturally guessed that the person was Gu, but he played dumb and shook his head. "This one isn't sure."
Gu searched the northern forest for half a day but didn't find any clues.
At the same time, Han Yunxi was perched on top of a boulder by the edge of the forest, the last rays of the setting sun casting a long shadow over her back.
The black-clothed man stood behind her. His figure was tall and proud. Han Yunxi wasn't short, but she only reached his chest. He was masked and dressed in black, his entire body exuding a mysterious and unfathomable aura. In the fading afterglow of the setting sun, he was like a god of the night descending to the mortal world.
He had kidnapped Han Yunxi and had been silent the entire way here. They had just settled down.
He was speechless. Han Yunxi was speechless. Her back was to him, and she didn't dare to turn around for a long time. In the beginning, when faced with so many black-clothed men who knew poison, Han Yunxi knew that they were the Sangfroid Prince Jun Yi Xie's men. However, when this black-clothed man suddenly appeared and kidnapped her, she began to doubt her own judgment.
This guy wasn't Jun Yi Xie. He had mixed in with Jun Yi Xie's men and secretly took her away.
Who was this guy? What was his goal in kidnapping her?
Why hadn't he spoken yet?
After hesitating for a long time, Han Yunxi was the first to speak. "Those three groups of assassins are in cahoots. You're not."
"You're so sure?" the black-clothed man asked indifferently.
"Jun Yi Xie first kidnapped Long Tianmo, then kidnapped Luo Zuishan. He's just trying to lure …" Han Yunxi said, but hesitated.
Jun Yi Xie's kidnapping method couldn't be to lure out Long Fei Ye, who was hiding nearby, and lure Long Fei Ye away from the mountain. Besides Long Fei Ye, who else could make Jun Yi Xie go to such lengths?
Long Tianmo was kidnapped. Long Fei Ye didn't have to show up, but Luo Zuishan was kidnapped. If Long Fei Ye was here, he would definitely show up to save him.
Who knew that Long Fei Ye wasn't here, but Gu would appear.
After confirming that Long Fei Ye wasn't here, it would be easy for Jun Yi Xie to kidnap her or even kill her.
After suffering such a big loss last time, Jun Yi Xie, who had always wanted to rope her in, probably already had the intention to kill her. He must have been waiting for an opportunity to make his move.
Had Long Fei Ye ever considered this point for her?
Han Yunxi realized that her mind had wandered. She took a deep breath. Han Yunxi smiled and didn't continue speaking. Instead, she turned around with a calm expression. "Let's not talk nonsense and get straight to the point. What's your goal?"
Who knew that the black-clothed masked man would actually laugh softly …
Who was he?
