Long Fei Ye snatched the pill from Han Yunxi's hand and looked at it. Gu immediately ridiculed, "What are you looking at? You won't be able to understand it. "
"Whoosh …"
With a cold hiss, the pill in Long Feiye's hand flew into Gu Qishao's open mouth. Gu Qishao didn't even have time to react before he swallowed it whole.
He grabbed the water on the table and drank a few mouthfuls before swallowing the huge pill.
"Long Fei Ye, your mother!"
Gu was obviously a devastatingly beautiful person, but when he cursed, he was actually very manly and didn't make people feel disgusted at all.
Long Fei Ye didn't say anything, but picked up the teacup again. Gu was immediately on guard.
Han Yunxi rolled her eyes and quietly retreated. She still couldn't believe that these two fellas would collude … No, it should be that she couldn't believe that these two fellas would work together!
Han Yunxi had just reached the door when she heard a series of crackling sounds in the room. She felt that she shouldn't waste her time with these two fellas and should find a quiet place to cultivate.
Ever since she obtained the secret cultivation manual from the poison storage space, she had been quietly working hard. Many times, she didn't sleep at night and cultivated through the night. Fortunately, she was cultivating her mental strength, so she only needed to concentrate and gather qi. It didn't require much strength and she wasn't too tired.
Now, she was very free and effortlessly took in and out some common poisons like the Water of Ten Thousand Poisons, Perplexing Butterfly Illusion and Lil Thing. It was still a little difficult to take them out and put them in, especially Lil Thing.
So, she secretly used Lil Thing to train. She would summon it out one moment and then recall it the next. Lil Thing was lazy and at first, it let her do as she pleased. But after a few times, it got angry and bared its fangs at her to show its dissatisfaction.
See, when Han Yunxi just summoned it out, it would grin and hum. Those sneaky little eyes became cross-eyed.
Without a choice, Han Yunxi simply closed her eyes and focused on cultivating, ignoring it completely.
Lil Thing was nothing but a paper tiger in front of its Mama Yunxi. When it saw that Mama Yunxi was ignoring it, it wilted on its own.
It wanted to hide on Mama Yunxi's body and go back to sleep, but as soon as it jumped on top of her, it smelled the scent of poison. It was a poison it hadn't tasted before.
The lazy Lil Thing immediately perked up and dove into Mama Yunxi's sleeve to find the poison. All these years, it had been hiding in the poison storage space and drinking the Water of Ten Thousand Poisons. It was getting sick of it and could finally have a change of taste.
There was a total of three portions of the poison. It swallowed the first two portions in one gulp, but it couldn't bear to eat the last portion. It nibbled on the poison bit by bit and tasted it carefully.
And it was precisely because of this careful tasting that it finally realized that something was wrong.
The poison was mixed with something it was familiar with, but it couldn't remember what it was. Lil Thing tasted it carefully again. It was not until it finished the last portion of poison that it remembered what it was!
Gu's blood had been mixed into the poison!
When Mama Yunxi had been kidnapped by the crossbowmen, it had noticed that something was wrong with Gu's blood. The white-robed man had noticed it as well.
But Lil Thing had no idea what the white-robed man had appraised the blood as. It wasn't certain either, but it felt that the poison blood was very similar to the poison in its own teeth. It was very likely that it was the Gu blood from the Water of Ten Thousand Poisons, but it also seemed a little different.
But it had never encountered real Gu blood before, so it couldn't get a definite answer. It only knew that no matter what kind of blood it was, it was good stuff. It was very beneficial for its body's recovery and was a hundred times more effective than other poisons.
Wait a minute!
Where did Mama Yunxi get these poisons? Could it be that Gu gave them to her? Did Gu want to help it recover faster?
Thinking up to here, Lil Thing quickly squirmed out of its sleeves and chirped at Mama Yunxi. Unfortunately, Mama Yunxi was immersed in her mental cultivation and didn't hear it.
Lil Thing felt that Gu must have been beaten stupid by Papa Long. If it was me, I wouldn't give up my poison blood so easily. It'd hurt my body and waste my inner qi.
At the same time, Long Fei Ye and Gu had long stopped their senseless bickering in a nearby room.
If they really wanted to fight, how could they make such a small commotion?
After confirming that Han Yunxi had left, Long Fei Ye fell silent for a while before asking Cold, "Is there no way to break the undying body?"
He'd been wanting to ask this question ever since Gu left that night.
"There isn't," Gu replied. He'd joked with Han Yunxi before, but it was really just a joke.
There was no cure for him in this lifetime!
"Then why did you keep investigating Han Yunxi's origins in the past?" Long Fei Ye was always clear-headed and rational. Even after forming an alliance with Gu, he wouldn't forget this question.
"I wanted to confirm whether or not she was the Poison Woman so I could use her to ally with the Poison Sect against the medical academy!" This was indeed Gu's original plan.
Long Fei Ye smiled coldly. He was about to speak when Gu beat him to it. "Heheh, why don't you think this old man is willing to part with it?"
Once he exposed Han Yunxi's identity as the Poison Woman, then Han Yunxi would become public enemy number one.
Long Feiye didn't like it, nor did he like discussing women with a man, especially when it came to Han Yunxi.
Cold, he said, "You'll never have the chance in this lifetime!"
So speaking, he rose to leave, but Gu Qishao stopped him and handed him a bottle of pills. "These really are good for nourishing the brain and nourishing the spirit."
Seeing that Long Fei Ye was about to refuse, Gu relented. "She won't take them. Just say that you found them!"
Would Long Fei Ye want them? Definitely not!
"This prince will take good care of her body. You don't need to worry!" Cold, he tossed these words.
"Long Fei Ye, you've got guts! You better protect her for the rest of her life. Don't give this old man any chances, or I won't be polite! "Gu said icily.
Long Fei Ye didn't reply. Instead, he kicked a pebble over his head and aimed it at Gu. Gu dodged to the side, and the pebble smashed a hole in the door.
Gu snorted disdainfully. It wasn't until he saw Long Fei Ye's figure disappear at the end of the courtyard that he suddenly remembered something important.
He'd made a trip to the medical academy and inadvertently learned something.
Gu quickly caught up with Long Fei Ye, but Long Fei Ye went to find Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi saw them coming one after the other. How could she cultivate? She felt gloomy in her heart! Can't she even stay in one corner?
But Gu said something unexpected. "The head of Medical City's Council of Elders, Head Elder Ling Yun and Lady Lianxin, went to Xijing."
Long Fei Ye was stunned. "Who asked them to save Tianhui?"
Long Fei Ye could only guess that this was the reason. If Tianhui's condition improved, then the Chu Clan's path of retreat would be cut off.
But Gu gave him an even more unexpected answer. "Do you think the people invited by the Chu Clan will save Tianhui?"
Gu might have left Medical City for years, but he could still find plenty of confidential information here.
"Chu Qingge's stomach?" Long Fei Ye immediately understood.
"Chu Qingge's only four months old. What could they do?" Han Yunxi couldn't figure it out either. If they wanted Chu Qingge to give birth to a baby boy, they could just raise one instead. Why go through all the trouble of inviting Head Elder Ling over?
If the Chu Clan could invite Head Elder Ling, then it had to be Lady Lianxin who pulled strings. Leaving aside everything else, Han Yunxi was certain that this matter was directed at them. After all, Lady Lianxin was worried that she'd never get a chance to take revenge on them.
Gu couldn't figure it out either. A four-month-old baby couldn't be used for experiments anymore. What else could Head Elder Ling want with him personally showing up? It didn't seem likely that that slut Lianxin would be able to get Head Elder Ling to show up with her looks alone.
"Find Gu Beiyue and ask him!" he said carelessly.
"Right, send an urgent message back to ask him!" Han Yunxi added hastily.
A complicated look flickered past Long Fei Ye's eyes, but he quickly agreed. But he didn't send a letter back to Pill Fiend Pharmacy, but sent someone to ask Third Elder Shen Jueming in Medical City. He had Chu Xifeng continue to track down Gu Beiyue's whereabouts.
Not long after they left, Gu Beiyue left Pill Fiend Pharmacy as well. He went to the other branches, but Chu Xifeng couldn't find him anywhere.
Long Fei Ye was very curious to know where he was right now.
Gu had planned to stay in Medical City for a few more days, but when he heard that Long Fei Ye's group had gone to Thousand Buddha Cave, he came over. Medical City wasn't far from here.
Han Yunxi told him about the Wood of Ten-Thousand Poisons, leaving him both happy and puzzled. "It's growing on a thousand-year ginkgo tree? That's a poison, so how could it grow alongside the tree? "
Han Yunxi couldn't figure it out either. Unfortunately, she hadn't seen what the ginkgo tree looked like, so she couldn't figure out the reason. Moreover, she wasn't sure if she could activate her poison storage space to take in the Wood of Ten-Thousand Poisons once she saw the tree.
She'd have to see the thing to find out the answer, but how could it be so easy?
Gu looked towards Long Fei Ye. "Shall we go scout the area tonight?"
Long Fei Ye had agreed. He and Han Yunxi had settled down in this small town for two reasons: one, to keep an eye on Western Zhou and the Chu Clan's movements, and two, to learn more about Thousand Buddha Cave.
He was looking forward to Emperor Kang Cheng making a move against the Chu Clan in the next three months. He also wanted to see what the Chu Clan would do when Duanmu Baiye's ban was lifted and the Bodhisattva's birthday was opened!
Of course, he was also waiting for Third Elder Shen's reply. He refused to believe that the Chu Clan would submit so easily to his threats.
In the end, Western Zhou wasn't a place where he could stay for long. It would take more time and patience to stir up the waters.
After discussing business, Han Yunxi excused herself and had the Shadow Guard Xu Donglin deliver a letter to Pill Fiend Pharmacy. Naturally, this letter was meant for Mu Ling 'er. Gu had finally returned. She could finally answer to Mu Ling 'er. She wondered if Mu Ling' er would cry tears of joy when she received the news.
That night, Long Fei Ye, Gu, and Tang Li went to Thousand Buddha Cave together. Although they passed through the main entrance, they didn't go very far. The further they went, the more guards there were. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, they had no choice but to retreat.
A few days later, news came from Whitetown that someone had reported the Chu Clan for misappropriating military funds. Emperor Kang Cheng ordered a strict investigation and prohibited General Chu from leaving Whitetown until the matter was resolved.
There was no doubt that Emperor Kang Cheng had begun to take action. Long Fei Ye originally thought that the Chu Clan would be overwhelmed with work. Who would've thought that two months later, the Chu Clan's response not only surprised Long Fei Ye, but also shocked all of Western Zhou!
What had the Chu Clan done?
