There was only one possibility for the Jade Scorpion to be able to hide from her like a plague.

She had Gu in her body, or Gu in her body.

However, she had already put down the porcelain bottle, and she did not have any other Gu Worm with her, so why would it …

Aunt Tao was unaware of Jade Scorpion's abilities. Seeing that his young miss was acting weirdly, he asked softly: "Young miss, what's wrong?"

Qu Ling forcefully suppressed his palpitations. After a long while, he finally said: "It's fine, you can leave first."

"But …" Aunt Tao wanted to say more.

Qu Ling interrupted her, raising his head and smiling towards her: "I want to have some pig's elbow for lunch."

Seeing that she was still thinking about eating the meat, Aunt Tao heaved a sigh of relief.

He looked at her again and saw that she didn't seem to have had an issue. He smiled and said, "This old servant will instruct the kitchen to prepare these for Miss."

After Aunt Tao left, Qu Ling no longer maintained his previous composure, and quickly went to rummage through the boxes.

All the silver needles and medicines she could find in the room, she found them all at once.

He used the silver needle to apply medicine and pierced it into some of the acupuncture points on his body.

In the end, he cut his own hand and dripped his blood onto another type of potion.

Most of these things she brought back from the Miao Boundary, so she could use them as a test for the parasites.

However, the thing that made her break down was that no matter if it was the silver needle or the potion, neither of them were different.

They were all telling her that she wasn't poisoned.

Since it wasn't poisoned, why would the Jade Scorpion have such a reaction?

Qu Ling dropped the thing in his hands and stumbled towards the door, wanting to catch the Jade Scorpion.

But before the Jade Scorpion lying on the ground at the entrance could get close to her, it shook its body and leaped away.

Qu Ling almost fell to the ground, holding onto the door to stabilize his body, he stared straight in the direction the Jade Scorpion had escaped, his expression revealing nothing.

Xiao Er who was waiting in the yard heard the commotion, he turned his head and looked, and asked: "Madam?"

Qu Ling ignored him and stepped out of the door. He rushed out without looking back.

Xiao Er was stunned and immediately chased after him.

When he saw her running into the South Wind House, his expression suddenly became complicated.

Qu Ling did not bother with him. After entering the South Wind House, he immediately rushed to the third floor to look for Murong Yan.

At that time, Murong Yan was just dressing the wounds on his body and putting on clothes, seeing her barge in, he was startled.

When she saw her flustered little face, she frowned and immediately went up to greet him.

"Ah Ling, did something happen?"

Qu Ling looked at him and his eyes suddenly reddened. With a muffled voice, he revealed a trace of grievance, "Murong, the Jade Scorpion is hiding from me."

Afraid that he wouldn't understand, she continued: "It's like avoiding me when you meet that kind of sinister Gu Worm, don't let me touch it."

Murong Yan's heart dropped, and he suddenly grabbed her wrist.

After a moment of hesitation, he pressed down on a few of her acupuncture points.

He did not notice anything out of the ordinary and immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

Releasing her, he said softly, "Your pulse is normal, but the things that usually happen after you are infected with the Gu are no different. You should not have been infected by the Gu."

"Before I came here, I tried using silver needles and medicine, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. But why is it that the scorpion is hiding from me?"

Could it be that something went wrong with the Jade Scorpion?

Seeming to have seen through what Qu Ling was thinking, Murong Yan shook his head and said, "There should be no problem with the Jade Scorpion."

During the period of time that the Jade Scorpion had been in the South Wind House, Ah Xin and Jiang Huo had not infrequently brought it out. They filled small porcelain bottles with medicinal herbs or Gu Worm for it to guess.

After pausing for a moment, he suddenly took two steps back, and sized Qu Ling up from head to toe.

Hearing this, Qu Ling raised his hand to strip the clothes on his body.

Murong Yan promptly stopped her, and said with a headache: "You can go back and take it off. It's best if you take a bath, change your clothes, and try touching a scorpion."

That made a lot of sense.

Thus, Qu Ling ran out without delay.

Murong Yan watched from the back and felt that it was kind of funny.

Xiao Er, who was standing in the South Wind House's backyard, was hesitating as to whether he should report this matter to Master or not, when suddenly, he saw his own mistress running out like a gust of wind, and the corner of his mouth immediately twitched.

He had no choice but to follow.

Once Qu Ling returned to the Pure Wind House, he immediately ordered the Aunt Tao to go to the kitchen and order people to boil a bath.

As soon as the order was given, the backyard was thrown into chaos once again. The servants carried hot water and shuttled back and forth in the yard.

A pale pink figure leaned on a corner of the corridor, looking at this scene with interest, her gaze swept across Qu Ling's black hair faintly discernable.

After a short while, the girl's beautiful lips curved up into a faint smile as she leisurely turned around and left. No one who was busy in the courtyard had noticed that she had come before.

An hour later, Qu Ling changed into a new set of clothes and walked out of the bedroom with his wet hair.

Not afraid of the cold, he walked into the yard and looked around. Finally, he found the scorpion in the corner.

Her eyes lit up, fearing that she would scare the green scorpion again. She walked over cautiously while muttering, "Darling, mother is done bathing. She smells nice all over. Darling, don't hide from mother anymore, okay …"

Xiao Er, who witnessed the dramatic scene from before, was speechless.

The closer he got to the jade scorpion, the brighter Qu Ling's eyes became.

Seeing that she was about to touch it, her heart almost leapt into her throat.

The scorpion slowly turned its body and looked at Qu Ling.

His body trembled again and ran away.

Qu Ling, "..."

She was stunned for a moment before her legs gave way and she fell to the ground.

For a moment her mind was clouded, as if there was nothing there, as if there were a lot of things.

Actually, what she was most afraid of was not being infected by the Gu, but not knowing what kind of Gu she was suffering from and whether she had it or not.

The most frightening thing was that there was no way to investigate.

At this moment, she suddenly felt pain for Xiao Jingyue.

Even though he knew the way to understand Gu, he still had no idea what the Gu in his body was.

He didn't know how he had endured the past ten years or so.

Xiao Er frowned, he wanted to rush forward to help him up, but he felt that it was inappropriate so he hesitated and did not move.

"Miss, why did you sit on the floor?" Aunt Tao immediately came over to help Qu Ling up. He was worried and angry, "Your hair is still wet, why aren't you wiping it. It's so cold today.

At this time, the Xiao Er suddenly called out, "Master."

Qu Ling raised his head in a daze, only to see a familiar figure walking in from the outside.

She was overjoyed, and was about to say something, but that person looked at her and his expression immediately changed.

With a dark expression, the man quickly walked towards her and scolded her in a low voice, "Why are you …"

She ran out in such thin clothes.

Before he could finish his last sentence, his body suddenly froze, and his handsome face instantly lost all color.

The next moment, he staggered a little. He raised his hand and held onto his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The people present turned pale with fright as they simultaneously shouted out.

"Master!"

"Xiao Jingyue!"
