Qu Ling opened his eyes in pain, and when his eyes focused, what entered his vision was a strange scene.

She forced herself to sit up, and when she looked down, she saw that the wound on her chest had already been bandaged.

Looking around again, it was indeed an environment she had never seen before.

She carefully recalled what happened before she fainted —

Then, she thought about how Xiao Jingyue would definitely come look for her after he woke up, and what exactly did she have on her body that would awaken the slumbering Gu Worm. If she allowed him to get close, she would only harm him.

Just as she was thinking this, she felt a surge of energy from somewhere. She walked out of the bedroom and reached a wall … He crawled out of the dog hole in the wall.

She didn't know who had made the dog hole. She had stumbled upon it while climbing the wall.

Then, she wanted to go to the South Wind House to look for Murong Yan, then... After that.

So, where is this?

A faint sound came from outside the door. Qu Ling immediately cast aside his other thoughts, and focused his attention on the two voices outside the door.

"..." This way, Young Master Li can tell me the method to remove the Gu. " It was a female voice. She paused for a moment before continuing, "Don't say that you weren't poisoned. If I didn't know about this, seeing that you're still alive today, I wouldn't have approached you for cooperation."

"Qi Jing had long ago let a female merchant named Huo Xinyi come back from the dead, this matter was known to everyone, and Young Master Li, you were previously a sickly person, everyone in Qi Jing knows of this, your disease suddenly recovered after she came back from the dead, not to mention she passed on to you after she died, I presume your relationship is not ordinary … You should have used her to test your strength, am I guessing right, Young Master Li? "

After a moment of silence, a male voice could be heard, "I don't have a method to remove the poison, but I do have a method to extend my life. Do you want to hear, Madam?"

Qu Ling's face revealed a look of surprise.

These two voices were …

That male voice, seemed to be Li Chenxuan's voice.

As for that female voice, she felt that it was a bit familiar. However, she couldn't recall where she had heard it before …

The female voice said, "There's no method to remove the Gu?"

The male voice said, "Why would I lie to you?"

There was another silence.

The woman's voice was heavy as she asked, "Then what is the Life Continuing Technique?"

The male voice slowly said: "Before the transformation, take out the blood of the opposite sex, drink it half a bowl a day, pour the blood over the Gu Worm, the pain will disappear and the body will warm up, normal people will continue to live."

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Naturally, after drinking this man's blood for nurturing the Gu, you cannot drink from anyone else, so the donor must be nourished well."

When Qu Ling heard this, he suddenly thought of Li Ning'er's pale white face and his pupils fiercely shrank.

So, the truth turned out to be like this …

This man was actually feeding the Gu with human blood to survive!

Li Ning'er went to look for her thrice, could it be that he wanted to help her?

However, why was it that when she went to find her that night, she did not say anything?

The woman's voice said, "Half a bowl a day. The blood donor won't be able to last much longer!"

The male voice laughed, "It will depend on whether Madam is willing to give it up or not."

Qu Ling did not continue listening to the latter part of the story.

After an unknown period of time, the door opened and a young man dressed in white walked in.

Seeing that Qu Ling had woken up, he was not surprised, he smiled and walked in, then asked warmly: "Does Mrs. Xiao feel better?"

That male voice was indeed Li Chenxuan's.

How could a wound in the heart be healed so easily? Qu Ling did not answer, and asked indifferently: "Where is this place?"

"This is my courtyard in Beijing." Li Chenxuan paused for a moment, then explained: "Just now, on the way to the side courtyard, I met the unconscious you. Seeing that you were injured, I brought you along to request someone to treat you.

Qu Ling ignored his apology, and asked straightforwardly: "Did you deliberately let me hear those words?"

Otherwise, since this place was Li Chenxuan's, no matter where they talked, they would have to brave the danger of being heard and talk outside her door.

Li Chenxuan did not answer immediately. After he had walked to the side of the table and sat down, he leisurely said: "Earlier, I did not have the chance to speak to Mrs. Xiao alone. I had planned to have Ning'er send an invitation to Mrs. Xiao to come to my residence to find an opportunity to talk.

"What is it?"

"When Aunt Huo was still alive, she had gone to ask Mrs. Xiao to help me remove the Gu. I wonder if Mrs. Xiao had agreed to that?"

Qu Ling revealed a face of surprise, "You know about this?"

She had thought for so long that he did not know.

The young man smiled and nodded. "Naturally."

Aunt Huo would never hide anything from him. After his birthday banquet, Aunt Huo came to find him and told him about her conversation with Qu Ling.

At that time, he only thought that she was joking. After all, that Mrs. Xiao was just a young lady around his age. He did not believe that Qu Ling could cure the parasite.

However, a few days later, Aunt Huo's servant girl came to him and told him that Aunt Huo had died due to being infected by a Gu.

It was only then that he realized Aunt Huo was serious.

Because Aunt Huo's death was too sudden, he was never sure whether Qu Ling agreed or not.

He had wanted to find an opportunity to ask about it, but unfortunately, he had never had the chance to be alone, and this matter was inconvenient for others to find out, so he delayed it until now.

Qu Ling said in a low voice: "I did indeed promise Huo Xinyi to do my best."

Li Chenxuan smiled at her.

Qu Ling knew what he wanted to ask, and replied without feeling guilty at all, "I haven't found a way yet."

He had already expected that Li Chenxuan would not be disappointed.

Qu Ling paused for a moment, then asked: "Since you have already found a way to suppress the Gu Worm, why did you come to find me to fulfill my promise?"

Li Chenxuan replied calmly: "Mrs. Xiao heard it just now, this method is not a long-term plan."

Finished speaking, he stood up and said gently: "If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble Mrs. Xiao to continue finding a way for me to remove the parasite. After all, Ning'er's body … It wouldn't last long. No one will disturb us in this quiet and secluded place. Mrs. Xiao will stay here to recuperate after getting heavily injured. "

Was this considered a disguised threat and imprisonment?

No wonder he had specifically let her hear those words just now. He probably wanted to use Ning'er to threaten her.

Qu Ling looked at him coldly, and did not reply.

After the white-clothed gongzi left, she suddenly recalled an extremely important matter.

They were both people infected by the parasite, why was it that even though Xiao Jingyue couldn't approach her, he was able to stay so close to her without changing his expression?

Could it be that the "thing" on her body was only effective on the Gu in Xiao Jingyue's body?

But that's also not right. The Jade Scorpion clearly had a reaction.

Furthermore, Madam Shen Luo Zi also seemed to have been infected by the same Gu that Li Chenxuan had, what kind of person was she?

Qu Ling looked at the roof, and frowned.

However, in the end, she was still injured and fell into a deep slumber.

Li Chenxuan walked to the front yard and a figure quietly landed in front of him.

That subordinate asked: "Sir, do you believe that Mrs. Xiao can cure the parasites?"

Li Chenxuan laughed, "So what if you don't believe me?"

After all, the method of drinking blood was not a long-term solution, the Gu still had to be cured.

So what if he didn't believe it? It was better than sitting still and waiting for death.

Returning to the Minister of War Palace, Li Chenxuan headed to the study room and spoke to the middle-aged man seated behind the table: "Father, the Second Madam of the Murong Villa is not willing to reveal the origin of the Gu, but she is willing to cooperate with us and sell us the Gu."

Li Yun's face that was filled with worry finally calmed down, and laughed: "Very well!"
