In the dark of the night, rain was patting the window paper and falling down with flakes of snow between them. The snow was even stronger than the last time. The floor was covered with layers of snow, reflecting the dark yellow light from the orange-red lights on the porch.

Gu Qing Li opened her eyes and tiredly rose to her feet. She stealthily lifted away the green smoky curtain and then sat on the bed in her shoes and clothes for a long time. Her expression was somewhat blank. It seemed as if the lovemaking had exhausted all of her energy. In truth, he was gentle and careful, not daring to hurt her body in the slightest. However, the boiling heat had completely burnt her soul, leaving her unable to respond.

He seemed to like this way of confirming their feelings lately, perhaps too carefully, for fear of losing her. She could feel it, but she was even more powerless. She felt that she could no longer respond to him the way she used to.

She got up and pushed the door open and walked out, stepping on the soft snow in the yard. A row of lonely footprints led into the garden.

Suddenly, she stopped.

Snowflakes were flying all over the sky. There were a few rows of messy shallow footprints on the surface of the white land. It seemed like they had just been walked through by someone and were covered up by the swirling snow, making it hard to tell if they were male or female.

There must be something amiss in walking around the manor in the middle of the night.

Gu Qingli suddenly felt a strange movement in her body. It seemed that the Gu worms were squirming restlessly, as if they had sensed something through their anxious emotions. She didn't dare to fight it like she had before, and could only concentrate on sensing its movements.

The Qi flow within her body was in disorder as it stirred restlessly, causing her meridians to be in disarray. She could feel it crashing around, looking for a way out, anxious and frightened, fleeing from something, looking for a place to hide.

Gu Qingli suddenly felt that it was asking for help. The uneasiness it felt was a sense of danger approaching it.

"Qing Li!" Xiao Yi Xiu's voice was getting closer and closer. The sound of his boots stepping on the snow was quickly approaching.

The sense of danger instantly disappeared, and the anxious and depressed feeling in Gu Qing Li's body lessened. She looked around in a daze, but couldn't see anyone around her. Before she could recover her senses, she was hugged by Xiao Yi Xiu, who vented his anger in her ear, "Such a cold day, you casually ran out, are you trying to scare me to death?"

"I …"

"If you have anything to say, go back to your room." He shook off his fox skin cloak and wrapped her tightly as he walked back.

"Don't be angry." Gu Qingli's voice had a rare softness to it, as if she was afraid he'd get angry, and she raised her head to look at him from time to time.

He restrained himself and tried to say gently, "You don't know how worried I was that I wouldn't be able to see you when I woke up. It's snowing heavily outside, and you're still pregnant. What's so important that you come into the garden in the middle of the night? "

"I feel some movement from the Gu worms in my body, as if there's something nearby …" "Summon it." She thought and thought, then used the word summoning.

"You can sense that it's a summon and nothing else?"

She hesitated for a moment, unsure of herself. "Recently, my relationship with it has been much better than before, and I sensed even more emotions. However, after arriving here, I saw a few rows of footprints in the snow …" She turned around and pointed, only to find that while she was wandering around, the snowstorm had completely covered the footprints.

Xiao Yixiu also turned around to look. The ground was covered in a vast expanse of white, and the snow was as flat as a mirror, with nothing to be seen.

Gu Qingli said hastily, "I really saw it, it wasn't an illusion."

"I believe you." Xiao Yixiu patted her as he carried her back. She was not in a good condition, even if he seemed perfectly normal, but he knew she was always worried, and the pressure was too great for her to breathe.

"Later on, I felt the attack. It felt the danger and wanted to counterattack or escape. It became restless within my body and it made me feel very uncomfortable. I didn't dare to fight back like I did before. I just tried to sense it, but you just showed up. "

"You think this attack came from the manor?"

She thought for a moment. "Not necessarily, I think it depends on how far you can control the Gu people. For example, the attack I received in the outer city. When you arrived, can you see that there are people manipulating it within your field of vision? No. But those epidemic patients are obviously under the control of the Gu Master. "

Xiao Yi Xiu looked around. The Mo Mansion was only a few hundred acres wide, and if the controlling Gu Master could control more than one hundred mu away, it was very likely that they were moving around the Mansion. But how to explain the footprints in the snow? Was it really her imagination? Looking at the sky full of flying snow, he couldn't be sure. It would be very easy for this kind of snow to not have footprints.

Xiao Yi Xiu didn't say anything about the suspicions in his heart. He only asked Xing'er and Rui Zhu a few questions the next day, but didn't ask anything. These two girls were very obedient, including Wu Yu.

Gabriella had set up more spies in the yard, but she had always been so calm that it made people feel like she didn't exist. As expected, everything went as planned.

After thinking for a long time, Xiao Yixiu decided to take Gu Qing Li to Xuanhua Tower.

It had been a long time since they had come here because of the plague.

He first asked about Wen Xiang's words. Xuanhua Restaurant had recently been forced to half close down due to the plague. Their business had been depressed to the point that they didn't have much new information.

After entering the secret underground room, he followed the path to the dark pavilion's guardian. He heard that Zhou Qianxi had been quite calm recently, and hadn't tried to escape.

Zhou Qianxi pushed open the door to her secret room, revealing a pine bed, a red silk tent, and a beautiful and fragrant smell. The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the furnishings here should have been filled with a warm fragrance, so they naturally didn't go out and buy one for her.

Zhou Qianxi had not seen anyone for a long time, so when she saw them, she was more surprised than happy. She shrunk timidly towards the corner of the bed, and her charming eyes sparkled with fear.

"Don't be afraid, This King came here today to ask you something."

"What I know, I've already told you. All of you … What else do you want? I have been very obedient recently and have never tried to escape, nor have I talked much with the guards outside. " She shivered, a little.

Xiao Yi Xiu tried his best to slow his tone and asked patiently, "I just want to ask you, are you also a Gu Master?"

The last time it returned to the Golden Gu in the bottle, although it didn't die immediately, it didn't last long after nurturing it for a few days. After all, raising the Gu was not as simple as he thought, it was impossible for him to die.

Zhou Qianxi's face suddenly stiffened, but she didn't say anything. The last time they interrogated her, she ignored this question and subconsciously avoided it. She didn't expect to bring it up again after such a long time.

"..." "Yes."

"What Gu can you control?"

"Crimson Gu."
