Since Xiao Jingyue was unwilling to leave, the three of them did not dare to let him go.

The four of them stood in a deadlock at the entrance of the courtyard.

After an unknown period of time, a guard suddenly appeared in the manor.

He knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Jingyue and said: "Xiao Er ordered this subordinate to come here and inform the general that Madam has climbed out the wall again."

Xiao Yi's face stiffened. "…"

Aunt Tao and Gu Xi glanced at each other and subconsciously lowered their heads, silently moving to the side.

Xiao Jingyue squinted his eyes, his figure flickered, in the blink of an eye he had already dodged Xiao Yi who was still blocking in front, and rushed to the door of the bedroom.

He pushed open the door with all his might and peered inside.

When he saw the two open windows, General Xiao's face turned black.

Without a second thought, he immediately turned around to look for someone.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi also followed.

When he went to pick up Xiao Er yesterday, he had an unimaginable encounter with the group of black-clothed men who were chasing them through the Miao Boundary. Although he did not know why they did not kill him and Xiao Er, he still took up a lot of time, causing him and Xiao Er to only return to the manor this morning.

It was unknown whether or not those people had snuck into the capital. Xiao Er was still injured and it would not be appropriate for him to just let his wife run around.

After Xiao Jingyue and Xiao Yi left, seeing that there were no other matters, Aunt Tao also took her dirty clothes and went to wash.

Before long, Gu Xi was the only one left in the huge Clearwind Courtyard.

The gentleness on her beautiful face disappeared without a trace, and was replaced with coldness.

After standing in silence for a while, she suddenly turned around and walked towards the bedroom behind her whose door was wide open.

Early in the morning, Jiang Huo pulled Ah Xin out of the city. He said that he wanted to find some medicine for Murong Yan to heal his wounds faster.

Seeing that his persuasion had no results, Murong Yan could only send a message out secretly, ordering the people to hide in the shadows and follow.

After everyone had retreated, he closed the door. Just as he was about to change the medicine on his wound, he suddenly remembered something else and put on his clothes.

He got up and fished out a bamboo basket from under the bed. Then, he took out the drowsy Jade Scorpion and the Blood Spider.

After a while, he found the embroidered clothes in the backyard, and passed the things in his hands to her, instructing: "Take out the General Mansion, hand them over to Ah Ling."

After putting away the two poisonous creatures, Jin Yi immediately left.

It wasn't her first time going to the General Mansion, so the guards at the door recognized her. When they heard that she was here to look for the Lady, they let her off.

When Jinyi found the Pure Wind House and saw that the courtyard was quiet, she hesitated for a moment. Then, she remembered Murong Yan's instructions and walked in.

She found the backyard from the front yard, but she did not see anyone, so she decided to go to the bedroom to search.

But when he just found Qu Ling's bedroom, before he even went near, he suddenly heard two male voices coming out from the bedroom.

These two voices did not sound like General Xiao or his two subordinates.

Her heart skipped a beat as she quickly walked over.

The person in the bedroom seemed to have heard the footsteps and immediately stopped talking.

Shortly after, he saw a servant girl appear at the door. The black clothed man's face slightly changed and he quickly pulled out the sword on his waist.

A silver white sword light flashed past Jin Yi's eyes, and the blood drained from her face.

"You all …" She staggered back two steps.

Gu Xi gave a meaningful glance to the man in black in front of him. The man in black understood and immediately moved forward. Before she could scream out, he had already pressed down on her sleeping point.

"Second Young Master, how should we deal with this servant girl?"

Gu Xi squinted his eyes and said: "Kill."

The black clothed man hesitated, "If your subordinate is not mistaken, she should be the servant girl that Mrs. Xiao brought from the Miao Boundary. Her name is Jin Yi.

"A servant girl brought over by the Miao Boundary?" The color in Gu Xi's eyes changed slightly, "Bring it in first."

The man in black nodded his head and picked up the unconscious Embroidered Uniform.

After putting the person down, he recalled another matter and continued, "This subordinate received news that Young Master and the others had already arrived outside the capital. It seems that they had met the two Dark Guard s on the General Mansion yesterday."

Gu Xi raised his brows, "Brother, are you here?"

Pausing for a moment, the corner of his mouth slowly hooked up into a mocking smile. "Just nice."

Before the black-clothed man left, he continued: "This subordinate also received news that the young master of the Minister of War Palace has been looking for people from the Miao Boundary to purchase Soul Borrowing Gu s."

Gu Xi was not interested in the sale of Soul Borrowing Gu. He waved his hand to show that he had heard the news.

After the black-clothed man left, Gu Xi opened up Jin Yi's sleeping point.

Without waiting for Jin Yi to recover, his beautiful fingers swiped across the gray bundle in front of him. With a sudden turn of his wrist, a brown pill appeared between his fingers. When Jin Yi opened her mouth, he threw the pill into her mouth.

"Er — —" Jin Yi couldn't help but let out a sound as he suddenly widened his eyes. He tightly gripped his neck and instinctively swallowed the thing that was stuck in his throat.

When the pill entered her stomach, she suddenly realized what had happened. She immediately put her hand into her throat to spit out the pill.

However, after digging for a long time, he didn't spit out anything. Instead, he spat out a pool of sour water.

She put down her hand, raising up her tear-stained face to look at the man in front of her with a terrified expression. She asked hoarsely, "You … What did you feed me? "

Gu Xi picked up the gray bag and threw it back to its original place. He patted his hands and said indifferently: "It's just a medicine that you can listen to."

Qu Ling strolled on the street for a while, then went to the Western Street wonton stall and ate a bowl of wontons.

Just as he was about to look for Xiao Jingyue and shake his hand to make peace with him, he heard from the guard that Xiao Jingyue had gone out, so he could only give up.

He drooped his head, and with a withered expression, returned to the Clearwind Institution.

After a long time, when he could not find anything else to do, Qu Ling took out the greyish-white bundle that he casually threw on the chair and took out a small porcelain bottle.

What was inside this small porcelain bottle was the blood essence that Huo Xinyi had drawn out from the parasite that day.

The blood essence contained the fragmented Gu that hadn't completely melted yet after the transformation, so if he could think of a way to use it, it would be a treasure to save Li Chenxuan.

Although Li Chenxuan looked fine now, she still felt that things were not that simple.

No matter what, since she promised Huo Xinyi to save Li Chenxuan, she would do her best.

"Miss, did you come back?" The voice of the Aunt Tao came in from outside the door.

Qu Ling looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand, and answered without raising his head: "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Aunt Tao walked in front of Qu Ling. She took out a Jade Scorpion and a Blood Spider from her bosom and passed them to her, saying, "Jinyi came by just now, she wants me to pass these two little things to you … "I don't know what's going on with that girl, but her complexion is quite unsightly, and I don't know if she's sick or not."

Qu Ling put down the porcelain bottle, then raised his head and reached out to receive the Jade Scorpion and the Blood Spider.

However, the moment her hand touched the scorpion, the Green Jade Scorpion that was dozing off suddenly started to shake violently.

Frightened, the two men's hands shook as well, and the scorpion fell to the ground with a thud.

Qu Ling subconsciously bent down to pick it up.

However, the green scorpion avoided her hand like it was immune to the plague. It ran like a wisp of smoke to the door, trembling as it lay on the doorstep.

Qu Ling kept his body bent, his face ashen, as he looked at the ground, his pupils contracted slightly.

The Jade Scorpion, who could distinguish the Gu and fear the Gu, was actually afraid of her …
