When they parted at the inn, Long Fei Ye said that he would always be in Medical City.
Han Yunxi admitted that the first person she'd thought of was Long Feiye. It was only right and proper to ask him for help, but she quickly rejected the idea.
She knew that Long Fei Ye came to Medical City this time for the poison warehouse. Even if he saved her from Jun Yi Xie, he didn't expose his identity.
He must be very busy and didn't want to cause more trouble. Moreover, she could deal with Luo Zuishan by asking Gu for help, which was the most suitable choice.
"It's a secret. Don't tell him." Han Yunxi answered Gu's question in a joking tone.
"It's much easier for him to find Jun Yi Xie than it is for me. Don't you want to ask him for help?" Gu probed.
Han Yunxi was still joking. She said with a smile, "He'll come whenever you call him. As for him … I don't even know where to find him."
Even if he was always in Medical City, she really didn't know where to find him or who to contact.
She was always like this, inadvertently discovering that she really knew nothing about that man. Sometimes, even though he was right next to her, she would feel that he was far away.
Come whenever you call him?
Gu Qishao rubbed his chin as he mulled over the words with interest.
Instead of getting angry, he laughed happily. "I like what you said!"
Still, Gu Qishao was quite reliable when it came to Han Yunxi's matters. He used a finger to poke at Han Yunxi's forehead and said seriously, "I can help you make an appointment with Jun Yixie, but he's tried to kidnap you time and time again. You actually wanted to deliver yourself to his doorstep, you …"
Back in the mountain behind the Heavenly Fragrance Teahouse, Gu and Jun Yi Xie had fought. He wasn't completely sure that he could protect Han Yunxi.
"I have my ways to deal with him. You can just come with me." Han Yunxi was serious now.
Although meeting Jun Yi Xie seemed ridiculous and stupid, she could only rely on Jun Yi Xie to cure the poison in Long Tianmo's body.
"What is it? Let's hear it." Gu asked curiously.
"Why? Are you afraid of him too?" Han Yunxi asked with a smile.
Gu snorted and did not ask any more questions. "Wait, I'll give you the news tomorrow morning!"
Gu said and was about to leave, but just as he reached the door, he turned back and said mysteriously, "Poison Lass, you were saved by Long Fei Ye, right?"
If the person who kidnapped Han Yunxi was Jun Yi Xie, then there were only a few people in the world who could save her. Long Fei Ye was the first.
Han Yunxi nodded. There was no need to hide the kidnapping.
Hearing this, the corners of Gu's mouth slowly rose, revealing a pair of charming dimples.
Very good, Long Fei Ye also came to Medical City!
Gu didn't have any special fetishes in his life, but he liked to hold grudges. Long Feiye had sealed off his teahouses and teahouses, as well as that time in Medicine City. He still remembered! If he didn't take revenge now, when would he?
Medical City was no longer Long Fei Ye's territory. This time, he had to properly repay Long Fei Ye.
Of course, revenge would have to wait until the matter with Long Tianmo was settled. Then, he would study it carefully!
This was probably the first time Gu had left Han Yunxi so happily. He was in a good mood and looked back with a smile at the door. "Poison Lass, see you tomorrow!"
"Yiya …"
The door closed. In the dead of night, everything quieted down.
Long Feiye rested his head on his arms as he reclined on Han Yunxi's roof. He stared at the vast expanse of stars, his eyes as black as midnight growing deeper and deeper, making him more and more unfathomable.
That night, he didn't sleep at all.
It wasn't until dawn that Tang Li arrived.
"You're actually here!"
Tang Li was in disbelief. He had searched for Long Fei Ye for an entire day and night. In the end, he didn't know where to find him, so he could only come to Han Yunxi's place to try his luck.
They had a lot of things to do in Medical City, but this guy was actually here.
How was he always in Medical City? He was always by Han Yunxi's side, alright?
Long Fei Ye seemed to be in a daze the entire time, but when he saw Tang Li arrive, he quickly gathered his thoughts. "Are the people from Medicine City here yet?"
"Only the Mu Clan isn't here yet. They'll probably arrive in the next two days. I heard the Mu Clan's medicine is very important this time," Tang Li replied honestly.
Although Medical City's Poison Sect had been destroyed many years ago, there were still remnants of it left behind. In the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds was a terrifying poison beast called the Gu Shu. No one had been able to kill it for nearly a hundred years. The medical academy could only work with Medicine City to concoct medicine every five years and put it to sleep.
Rumor had it that this poison beast was the Poison Sect's most legendary existence. It could distinguish and consume hundreds of poisons, and its blood could cure hundreds of poisons. Most frightening of all, the poison beast itself was highly toxic. Once bitten, it was equivalent to being poisoned by hundreds of poisons. Even an immortal wouldn't be able to save you.
The Poison Sect had been destroyed, but the indestructible poison beast had become the object of everyone's competition. Every time the Gu Shu woke up, all sorts of factions would secretly gather in the peaceful Medical City.
"The Mu Clan? Who's delivering the medicine?" Long Fei Ye asked again.
"Mu Ling 'er!" Tang Li was clearly very excited.
"That genius pharmacist?" Long Fei Ye had heard Tang Li mention this name many times.
This gifted little girl was hailed as the most talented pharmacist in Medicine City this year. It was said that she was the best candidate to become the next head of the Mu Clan.
Of course, Medical City's three great clans weren't just delivering medicine. They also needed to concoct the medicine, brew it, and cooperate with Medical City's people to drug the poison beast.
The fact that the Mu Clan had sent Mu Ling 'er this time was enough to prove that she had the ability to take charge of a department on her own.
"Just wait, there'll definitely be a good show to watch this time!" Tang Li was very certain that the Mu Clan's medicine was very important this time. This also meant that the Mu Clan's pharmacists were going to take on a big responsibility. He was very much looking forward to Mu Ling 'er's performance.
Long Fei Ye glanced at him, clearly uninterested. Tang Li thought that he was going to leave, but he didn't move from his seat.
"You're not leaving?" Weren't they planning on exploring the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds for the next two or three days?
Long Fei Ye shook his head and smiled Cold. "There's a good show today. Want to watch?"
Tang Li grew suspicious and looked down. "Her?"
Long Fei Ye didn't speak. He was clearly smiling Cold just a moment ago, but now his chiseled face was terrifyingly cold. Tang Li didn't dare ask a second question.
Han Yunxi had made a bet with the Council of Elders' Third Elder that she'd cured Long Tianmo's poison yesterday. If everything went smoothly in two days, she'd be able to defeat Third Elder. With Han Yunxi's personality, she wouldn't let Third Elder off if everything went smoothly.
News of this had already spread through the medical academy yesterday afternoon. The real show would have to wait until the examination in two days.
What kind of show could this woman possibly have?
With no other choice, Tang Li could only sit down next to Long Fei Ye and wait with him. He didn't know when he'd started to get used to Long Fei Ye's unplanned waiting.
In any case, he could see clearly that Han Yunxi was an existence outside of Long Fei Ye's plans. She was his exception …
The sun rose in the east, and the sky was bright.
Not long after Han Yunxi woke up, Gu arrived.
"Did you make the appointment?" Han Yunxi asked anxiously.
Gu smiled. His mood was as good as the rosy clouds in the eastern sky. He reached out his hand to Han Yunxi. "Let's go!"
Han Yunxi put her hand on his without saying anything. It wasn't that she was casual. Instead, it was because she was magnanimous that she didn't have so many taboos.
If it were Long Fei Ye's hand, she would probably hesitate for a moment.
On the contrary, Gu paused for a moment. He didn't seem to expect Han Yunxi to be so calm and straightforward. However, he quickly came back to his senses. He held Han Yunxi's hand tightly, put his other hand on her shoulder, and led her over the wall.
Gu and Jun Yi Xie had arranged to meet at a teahouse in the west of the city. When they arrived, Jun Yi Xie hadn't arrived yet.
Gu Qishao ordered a table full of pastries and side dishes. There were at least 20 different dishes in total. "All of Medical City's specialty pastries are here. Eat slowly, Jun Yixie won't be here so early."
Although she wasn't afraid of meeting the person who had kidnapped her again and again, she couldn't help but feel nervous. At this time, Han Yunxi didn't have much of an appetite. However, she casually glanced at the pastries on the table and found that these pastries were more or less the same as the ones Long Fei Ye ordered at the inn that night.
"You must try these when you come to Medical City. Try these. It's said that they're the favorite of you women." Gu attentively put a large plate of pastries on Han Yunxi's plate. Han Yunxi stared blankly.
Long Feiye, did you prepare all the delicacies on the table that night as well?
Seeing Han Yunxi's strange expression, Gu hurriedly asked, "Are you not feeling well?"
Han Yunxi didn't answer him and buried her head in the food. Liking someone was so inexplicable that you suddenly missed him so much. Liking someone was so unreasonable that you clearly wanted his company, but you wouldn't ask.
Gu was puzzled. He sat down next to Han Yunxi, supported his head with one hand, and tilted his head to look at her.
From the first time he met this girl in the cave until now, they were either laughing or pretending to be serious. However, this time, Gu could see that this girl really had something on her mind.
"Poison Girl, what's wrong?" he asked seriously.
Han Yunxi didn't reply, but continued to eat in big bites.
"Did someone bully you after I left last night?" Gu didn't realize that he was really anxious.
Han Yunxi didn't answer and almost choked on her food. After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, she changed the topic. "Jun Yi Xie is also in Medical City?"
She thought that they would have to travel a bit today, but she didn't expect that Jun Yi Xie was in Medical City. The kidnapping attempt was unsuccessful. Could it be that this guy was lurking in Medical City and was about to take action?
"What's wrong with you?" Gu was serious.
Han Yunxi took a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth. No matter how you looked at it, this action was incomparably intimate. However, only Gu knew that Han Yunxi's hand was so strong that he almost choked.
"Try it. This green bean sorbet is the best. I like it." Han Yunxi smiled beautifully.
Gu tried hard to swallow the food in his throat. Just as he was about to speak, someone knocked on the door.
Jun Yi Xie, as promised …
