However, this Ghost Doctor's disciple wasn't someone anyone could meet. Qi Jing paid a lot of attention to. The Western Courtyard's Great King Hao Yun Sheng sent people to guard this area, not allowing anyone to disturb him. In reality, if the Ghost Doctor's disciple didn't want to meet guests, under normal circumstances, no one would dare to disturb him.
In short, after Yan Baoru observed, she found that there were people both in the open and in the dark. Even the stalls nearby looked suspicious. She couldn't get close to the house without alerting others.
She could only wait nearby and look for an opportunity.
The dignified Pill List's second ranked expert had disguised herself into such a miserable state. Even she herself hadn't thought of it before.
However, there was no other way. Whether it was the three major sects or the current Niu Youdao, she couldn't afford to offend them. Moreover, these two groups of people wouldn't let her off …
Ever since the new owner came to the quiet courtyard, the rich and elegant smell of herbs had never left this house.
In the renovated wing room, there was a row of cages with separated rats. The Ghost Doctor's disciple, Wu Xin, stood in front of the cages, observing the reactions of the rats that had been fed medicine.
The outer courtyard door opened. Guo Man, who was now like Wu Xin's personal maid, brought a few people in. The few people carried in a few baskets of herbs and listened to Guo Man's instructions to place them in the storage room.
The amount of herbs used here was very large, and the wastage was also very large. Basically, it was all wasted in various experiments.
However, it didn't matter. As long as they needed or wanted any herbs, there would naturally be people delivering them. There was no need to waste any effort.
After the people delivering the herbs left, Guo Man closed the courtyard door, turned around and went to the wing room. As usual, she told Wu Xin about the outside world.
There were only the two of them in this house. Guo Man acted as Wu Xin's eyes and ears for information.
"I heard that the Deity Temple outside the city has already been cleared. It's said that Princess Ying's son is one year old today. Princess Ying wants to bring her son to the temple to pray."
As Guo Man spoke, she brought up the topic of Princess Ying, Shao Liuer. She had unintentionally asked about this matter, so she paid more attention to the news in this area.
Wu Xin, who was almost indifferent to other news, became especially serious when he heard about Princess Ying. He was obviously listening attentively.
After hearing this, a look of melancholy appeared on her face. She muttered to herself, "So fast, she's already one year old …"
After murmuring, he asked, "Will the King of England be going as well?"
Guo Man: "I don't think so. The King of England has never left early for personal matters. It is unlikely that he would go to that temple just for his son's first birthday. "
Wu Xin hesitated, as if he had made a decision. He turned his head and asked, "Do you know where the Temple is?"
Even though he had stayed in the Qi Capital for some time, he hardly ever went out. To the people of the Qi Capital, he was still a stranger. He was not familiar with the streets and alleys of the Qi Capital.
Guo Man nodded. "I know."
"Let's go to the temple." Wu Xin turned around, and Guo Man immediately followed.
Walking to the entrance of the courtyard, Guo Man was just about to open the door when Wu Xin stopped and shouted, "Wait, should I change my clothes?"
Guo Man looked him up and down. "Sir, you just changed this morning. It's still clean. You don't need to change."
Wu Xin: "Isn't it blasphemous to dress too casually?"
Guo Man pursed her lips and smiled. "What God? It's nothing more than fooling the common people to seek peace of mind. Sir, do you also believe in this?"
Wu Xin, who had always been calm and composed, seemed to be incomparably conflicted at this moment. Should he go to the temple to meet that person?
He had been in the Qi Capital for so long and had always wanted to meet that person, but he could not muster the courage. After learning that the King of England would not be by that person's side, he finally made up his mind, but once he reached the door, he hesitated.
Guo Man opened the door, and Wu Xin did not know how he followed her out.
Just as the two of them walked out of the alley, an old woman leaning against the wall suddenly shouted, "Is that Mr. Wu Xin and Miss Guo Man?"
The old woman was Yan Baoru. She did not know Wu Xin, nor had she seen him before, but she had seen Guo Man come in and out. It was not difficult to guess Wu Xin's identity. She did not see him go in, but who else could he be?
Wu Xin and Guo Man looked back at the same time. Guo Man frowned and said, "Who are you?" She had seen this old woman when she was going in and out of the alley, but she did not take it to heart.
The other party suddenly called out their names, which made people feel that it was not normal.
Yan Baoru said, "I am Yan Baoru, a Loose Cultivator. I hope that Mr. Wu Xin can save me. I know that finding Sir like this is too impulsive, but I really have no other choice. During this trip to Heaven Capital's Secret Territory, I fell into the evil hands of Niu Youdao … "
Although there were not many people who dared to touch the Ghost Doctor's disciple, this abnormal situation still caused some people to be vigilant.
Yan Baoru also noticed that there were already people approaching from the end of the street and alley. She could not care so much, and quickly, in full detail, described her encounter without hiding anything.
She knew that this Ghost Doctor's disciple rarely went out, and it was not easy to meet him. She had no way of approaching and barging into the house without causing a misunderstanding.
She also heard that this Mr. Wu Xin had the demeanor of a Master. He was a bit unreasonable and would not easily help people.
She also knew that if she did this, there would immediately be people who would want to detain her and investigate her identity.
She also knew that her identity could only be exposed once. If it was exposed, the people from the three sects would quickly find out, and then she would face being hunted down.
If this Ghost Doctor's disciple did not agree to help her after her identity was exposed, then she would only be left with one last choice. She could only conceal her identity, hide, and flee for her life, never daring to show her face in public again.
Thus, she did not hide the reason why she begged for his help. Even if she found him, she did not dare to lie or hide anything, or else she would cause big trouble.
Thus, she could only give it a try. If the other party refused, she would immediately run away.
She would not let herself fall into the hands of those people who were eager to make a move. What second place on the Pill Rankings? It was a joke. She could not withstand the exchange of benefits between the various forces. Not to mention Niu Youdao, any one of the three neutral sects could ask for her.
Guo Man looked at the other party with some surprise. This was the expert ranked second on the Pill Rankings, Yan Baoru? How did she disguise herself as a sloppy old woman and become so down and out?
After hearing that she had a feud with Niu Youdao, Guo Man's eyes flickered a few times.
What Yan Baoru? What Pill Rankings' second? Wu Xin did not take it seriously at first. There were too many people looking for him. If he had to take care of everyone, he would not be able to take care of them all.
Hearing that she had come to ask for his help, he was already numb to similar things. He had heard all kinds of strange reasons. He already turned his head to the side, not willing to listen anymore, and prepared to leave.
But when he heard that Niu Youdao had been harmed by Niu Youdao, Wu Xin's footsteps stopped and he turned back to look at her.
When Yan Baoru, whose eyes were filled with a pleading expression, finished speaking, Wu Xin faintly asked: "How can you prove that what you said is true?"
Yan Baoru hurriedly said: "With Mister's influence, as long as Mister is willing to inquire, it is not difficult to verify the truth. This one also does not dare to deceive Mister."
Wu Xin turned back and looked at the direction of the city. His eyes flashed a trace of entanglement, and he finally turned back. "I'm not going."
"Uh …" Guo Man was stunned for a moment. She looked at the impatient Yan Baoru and also turned back.
Yan Baoru sorrowfully said: "Mister, as long as Mister saves me, I am willing to be an ox or a horse to repay Mister."
Wu Xin, who was walking with his back to her, lightly threw out a sentence. "Bring her here."
Guo Man's eyes flashed a surprised expression. She did not know how many people had come to beg this person, but she did not expect that when this Yan Baoru, whose identity was unknown, had just arrived and opened her mouth, Mister would let go.
"Let's go, Mister wants you to go with him, didn't you hear?" Guo Man called out to Yan Baoru.
"Ah!" Yan Baoru did not dare to believe it herself. She heard that this person was not easy to talk to, but he actually agreed so easily?
After that, he was wild with joy and hurriedly followed after her, throwing away his walking stick.
The surrounding hidden sentries and open sentries looked at each other in dismay.
"Wash off the things on your face." Wu Xin, who had just entered the courtyard, glanced at Yan Baoru and reminded her.
As soon as he saw her, he knew that the skin on Yan Baoru's face was not real. She had smeared something.
Guo Man did not need to do anything. Yan Baoru washed her face with well water. When she faced Wu Xin again, she was already as beautiful as a flower and as beautiful as the moon. Her expression was slightly perturbed.
Whether she was beautiful or not, Wu Xin had no feelings. He only asked, "Are you poisoned by the Bitter Divine Pill?"
Yan Baoru nervously asked: "Can Mister cure it?"
"I don't know." This was Wu Xin's answer. At the same time, he told Guo Man to prepare the things.
Soon, Wu Xin's commonly used treatment items were arranged and three clean cups were poured with clear water.
Wu Xin said, "Hand," and grabbed Yan Baoru's soft hand. She grabbed her index finger and pricked it with a silver needle to draw blood. She pinched her fingertip and dripped a few drops of blood into each of the three cups. Afterwards, she let go of her hand and from a pile of bottles and jars, she took out white, green, and brown colored powders and sprinkled them with a spoon into the three cups.
He shook the three cups one by one and observed the color changes in the cups one by one. His expression was focused and serious.
Yan Baoru impatiently looked at him. She did not even dare to breathe for fear of disturbing him.
When he finished observing the last cup and put it down, Wu Xin looked up and stared at her: "You're lying!"
Yan Baoru was puzzled, "Why does Mister say this?"
Wu Xin said: "Everything is normal. You were not poisoned!"
Yan Baoru was stunned on the spot. She was surprised and uncertain: "Mister is sure?"
Wu Xin expressionlessly stared at her, "I said, you were not poisoned!"
Yan Baoru's expression changed unpredictably. She seemed to gradually react. Her face gradually showed a collapsed expression. She covered her face with both hands and sadly said: "Niu Youdao, you bastard deceived me so miserably!"
She was not poisoned. Niu Youdao did not force her to eat the Bitter Divine Pill. In other words, she could have smoothly and safely left Tiandu's Secret Territory. There was no need to do anything. There was no need to offend the three neutral factions.
She now roughly understood that she did not eat the Bitter Divine Pill. The three neutral factions should not have helped Niu Youdao carry the spiritual seed.
Niu Youdao had set up a trap and pushed her to a fork in the road. One road was safe and the other road was a bottomless abyss. The choice was up to her.
