Long Fei Ye's bounty notice stirred up all of Cloud Realm Continent. Medicine City was no exception.
That evening, Han Yunxi and Gu arrived at the south gates of Medicine City. They hadn't even entered the gates when they saw a crowd of people in the distance.
"Something big happened in Medicine City?"
Gu walked up curiously, only to see a huge bounty notice plastered to the wall!
There was only a portrait and two sentences on the notice.
The portrait was large and took up two-thirds of the entire notice. The woman in the picture had beautiful features and a face as delicate as a flower. Even a mere portrait couldn't hide the noble air she was born with.
Gu Qishao recognized Han Yunxi as soon as he saw her!
Below the portrait were two lines of words.
The first line read, "Return quickly or face the consequences."
The second line read, "Anyone who reports to the Duke of Qin's estate will be rewarded 10,000 taels of gold."
Aside from that, there was no explanation as to how Han Yunxi had disappeared. There wasn't even a mention of the word "missing."
The Duke of Qin's bounty for anyone looking for his wangfei was already a big deal. With such a tyrannical bounty notice, it was hard not to make the headlines of Cloud Realm Continent.
The crowd was making all sorts of guesses. Some said Han Yunxi had been kidnapped, while others said Han Yunxi had gone missing. There were even some who speculated that His Highness Duke of Qin was simply putting on a show for Emperor Tianhui. He no longer wanted this woman …
Despite all the guesses, no one expected Han Yunxi to run away of her own accord.
All the women in the world were racking their brains to get close to His Highness Duke of Qin. How could anyone run away of their own accord?
As Gu Qishao stared and stared, his smile grew wider and wider until he almost laughed out loud.
He never expected Han Yunxi to run away of her own accord one day!
No wonder she wouldn't answer him when he asked her where Long Fei Ye had gone or whether he knew her whereabouts on the Long Fei Ye.
Gu rubbed his chin as he admired the portrait with interest. The more he admired it, the better he felt! What to do? He really liked Poison lass more and more.
Han Yunxi, even if you've married into the Duke of Qin's household, as long as you want to leave, this young master will dare to take you away!
Long Fei Ye's high profile bounty could only mean that he hadn't found the person he was looking for. He didn't even have a clue!
Gu smiled until his eyes narrowed into a line. Just as he was about to look for Han Yunxi, he turned around and saw Han Yunxi standing behind him with a white veil covering her face.
In a flash, Gu's bewitching eyes turned as tender as water. Even his expression softened as he said, "Yunxi, from now on, I'll follow you to the ends of the earth. We'll never part, alright?"
Unfortunately, Han Yunxi didn't look at him, nor did she hear what he said. She looked up at the wanted poster on the wall with an extremely serious expression!
After a long time, Han Yunxi lowered her head to look at Gu. Gu's gaze was still gentle, but Han Yunxi didn't take it seriously.
She only said mildly, "Still not leaving?"
Gu gestured at the bounty poster and teased, "Ten thousand taels of gold. I'll take you to get your reward, okay?"
Han Yunxi's expression was still solemn. "Alright."
"He wouldn't trade for it even if he gave me the entire Tianning Country's treasury!" Gu said confidently.
Han Yunxi gave a start. Gu's words sounded so familiar. She'd heard similar words of love before, hadn't she?
Reality proved that they couldn't be taken seriously.
Gu purposely covered his face before entering the city with Han Yunxi. As soon as they entered the city, bounty posters could be seen everywhere. If this was the case in Medicine City, one could only imagine the other places.
Long Fei Ye, this madman! Why did he want to take her back? Why did he keep using her without explaining anything? When he was in a good mood, he held her hand, but when he was in a bad mood, he bullied her?
Han Yunxi would look at the bounty posters on both sides at first, but in the end, she pretended not to see them.
Long Fei Ye, do you want me to have nowhere else to go?
I don't believe it!
It was evening when Gu and Han Yunxi settled down at the inn closest to the Mu Clan. They asked for two rooms, one next to the other.
Gu saw Han Yunxi's gloomy face the entire way and thought she'd be very unsettled. But she wasn't in a rush at all. After washing up and eating dinner, she came to ask him about the Mu Clan. As for the bounty posters, she didn't mention a word.
Gu wasn't a gossipy person. If Han Yunxi didn't mention it, he wouldn't ask.
He was a person who only cared about the results, not the process. It was enough that Poison lass was with him now. Everything else could go to hell!
"How can you be sure that Mu Xin is my mother based on this pattern alone?" Han Yunxi went straight to the point.
Gu had inadvertently found the "Xin" character on her medical pouch. It was exactly the same as the "Xin" character on Mu Xin's belongings. Thus, he thought of Lady Tianxin. Following this line of thought, he found out that Lady Tianxin was Mu Xin, who had suddenly disappeared all those years ago.
Gu only gave her a general idea on the way here. He didn't go into the details, saying that he'd tell her slowly when they reached Medicine City.
"It's the matter you asked Third Elder about. Back then, Lady Tianxin used Lady Lianxin's help to find Vice Head Lin. She skipped all the tests and directly nominated Han Congan for the position of director. The reason Lady Lianxin helped was because Lady Tianxin was her biological sister, the Fourth Miss of the Mu Clan, Mu Xin." Since Gu had spoken, he had no intention of hiding anything.
So that's how it was!
Han Yunxi knew that she'd be able to find some clues in the medical academy. But how did this guy know when even Third Elder couldn't?
After all, Lady Lianxin and Vice Head Lin had an affair. Vice Head Lin had gone easy on Han Congan, and even Lady Tianxin's request for Lady Lianxin's help back then were all extremely private matters!
"How do you know? How do you know everything about the medical academy? " This was the second time Han Yunxi had asked this question. There was no time when she didn't want to know Gu's background more than now.
Seeing Han Yunxi's serious expression, Gu's gaze subconsciously softened. He really liked it when she looked at him so seriously.
"How do you know?" Han Yunxi asked for the third time.
Gu suddenly reached out to dotingly pat her head and smiled. "Poison lass, how I know isn't important. What's important is that we need to confirm whether or not you're a descendant of the Poison Sect."
Han Yunxi was so close to telling him the truth. She'd have told him she was!
But in the end, she held herself back. In this world, aside from Gu Beiyue, who didn't ask for anything from her and always helped her in secret, who didn't come for benefits?
She didn't know why Gu had come, but from the first time they'd met and he'd saved her, she knew that this family had ulterior motives.
"What if I really am a descendant of the Poison Sect?" Han Yunxi asked teasingly.
To her surprise, Gu, who always answered her questions, didn't reply. He smiled and rubbed her head again with a doting smile. "Good girl, rest first. I'll take you to the Mu Estate tonight to meet someone. "
Han Yunxi didn't ask any further. Her mother had already passed away, and there was no way to fake her death in childbirth. Who was Gu taking her to the Mu Estate to meet?
Medicine City and the medical academy had a close relationship, and the Poison Sect was a taboo in the medical academy. As one of the three great clans in Medicine City, the Mu Clan wouldn't touch the medical academy's taboo no matter what. Lady Tianxin's affairs were definitely shady.
Hadn't Mu Xin gone missing all those years ago? Was Lady Lianxin the only one who knew of her whereabouts and that she was Lady Tianxin?
Had Lady Tianxin's difficult labor been a pure accident, or was there another reason?
Even though she'd found such a huge clue, Han Yunxi was still very confused about Lady Tianxin and her biological father.
Seeing that Gu was about to leave, Han Yunxi hastily asked, "Where are you going?"
Gu glanced back with a charming smile. "Poison lass, don't worry. Unless I die, I won't leave you behind."
Unless he dies?
Many years later, Han Yunxi found out everything about Gu Qishao, including his undying and indestructible body. Every time she recalled his words today, her face would fill with tears.
Han Yunxi sighed softly as she watched Gu Qishao's figure disappear through the doorway. She walked to the window and saw that many of the bounty posters outside had been surrounded so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
She lowered her eyes and watched for a while before suddenly closing the window. What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over!
She opened her medical pouch and wanted to take Lil Thing out for a chat, but who knew that Lil Thing wasn't in the pouch.
After leaving the poison warehouse, she didn't know if Lil Thing had eaten its fill. Every day, she would take out many poisons from the detoxification system and put them in her medical pouch. Sometimes, Lil Thing would finish them all, and other times, it would leave them untouched.
She couldn't understand Lil Thing and didn't have the time to think about it. She could only feed it and hide it.
Lil Thing wasn't here, but the poisons in her medical pouch were untouched. Han Yunxi guessed that Lil Thing must have slipped out to play.
Along the way, Lil Thing had disappeared many times, but it would suddenly appear every time.
After tidying up, Han Yunxi went back to her room to sleep. However, she never dreamed that Lil Thing would do such a terrifying thing in the hour she was sleeping!
At this moment, Lil Thing was at the entrance of the Medical Hall in Medicine City.
That's right, it was the medicinal hall that required membership and a gold card to enter. It was the highest level medicinal hall in Medicine City, and all the goods sold there were high-end goods.
When Long Fei Ye brought Han Yunxi here for the first time, he directly threw a gold card to her to squander. It was said that Han Yunxi broke the personal spending record of the medicinal hall that day.
The entrance to the medicinal hall was heavily guarded. Lil Thing wanted to sneak in a few times, but unfortunately, there weren't many people coming in and out, so Lil Thing couldn't take advantage of it.
Lil Thing had already eaten its fill in the poison warehouse, so it came here to look for medicinal ingredients to change its taste. Actually, Lil Thing didn't only eat poison. When it was in a bad mood, Lil Thing would eat, eat, eat, and eat a living person!
Lil Thing couldn't eat meat during this period of time, so it could at least look for expensive medicinal ingredients to fill its stomach.
This was the so-called foodie. When they were hungry, they could eat as much as they wanted, but when they weren't, they were picky!
Lil Thing was like a mouse, hiding in a corner and poking its head out from time to time. It waited and waited, smelling the waves of medicinal fragrance coming from inside. Finally, Lil Thing couldn't wait any longer.
Thus, Lil Thing sneaked along the wall and crawled step by step towards the door. It was only the size of a palm, who would notice it?
Unfortunately …
