Xiao San, who was full of excitement and was discussing the matter of detoxifying the parasite, paused for a moment, and followed Qu Ling's gaze.

The door was empty. Nothing.

Xiao San called out in confusion: "Madam?"

Qu Ling retracted his gaze, and shook his head: "Nothing."

Pausing for a moment, she continued with her previous topic, and added: "Because I'm not sure if this method will work, there will definitely be risks, and it's very possible that after a big sin, not only will you not be able to dispel the parasite, but the short life that this Gu Worm brought you is gone, are you willing to do so?"

Xiao San said without hesitation, "This subordinate is willing."

When he found out about the Poison Gu, he already didn't want to live anymore.

At that time, if he hadn't known that his master still needed him, he would have already died in that ice-cold cave.

Even if he really failed to remove the Gu, it would only fulfil his wish.

Qu Ling did not speak further, he handed over a medicinal list to him, "Go find a medicine store, and buy the herbs written on it."

The reason she advised Xiao Jingyue to keep Xiao San was to use Xiao San to test the way to remove the Gu.

Since Xiao San was willing to become his experimental subject, she naturally would not be courteous to him.

However, although she was using a dead person as a mouse and it didn't matter if the mouse died again, she still had to prepare in advance.

After all, she didn't really want Xiao San to die a second time.

The original purpose of detoxifying the Gu was that after detoxifying the Gu, the victim would still be able to survive.

Even if he was in the worst condition before he died, as long as he had a breath of air, there was a high chance that he could be saved.

If it wasn't, then what was the point in undoing the Gu if he just died?

After Xiao San received the medicine list, he did not ask any further questions and immediately went out to look for medicine stores.

He had already repaid the debt he had owed Murong Shan in the cave.

The person who wanted to save him now was his mistress. He knew what he had to do in the future.

After Xiao San left, Qu Ling did not stay any longer and headed towards the room that Xiao Er was temporarily staying in.

Passing by Murong Shan's room, her footsteps paused, she turned and looked at the closed door.

"When your subordinate came over, I saw Miss Murong leaving." He jumped down from the roof and hesitated for a moment before adding, "Just now, Miss Murong seemed to want to go find Xiao San, but when he arrived at the door, for some reason, she didn't enter. She only stood there for a short while before leaving."

When they were in the prison, Xiao Yi and a few others were separated and imprisoned, but after returning there, they did not have time to talk about it. Adding to that, when Qu Ling and Xiao San were talking earlier, he had split his attention to the weird Murong Shan.

Hearing that, Qu Ling's eyes flashed.

After a moment, he softly replied and didn't say anything else. He continued to walk forward.

Xiao Yi silently followed.

When Qu Ling went to Xiao Er's room, seeing that Murong Yan was still busy, he sat down by the table and did not disturb him.

Murong Yan peeked at her while he was busy doing this, a faint smile surfacing in his indifferent eyes.

Fortunately, the Magistrate Zeng was not a bad person in nature, and still had a kind heart. When they were imprisoned in the prison, they asked the doctors to treat the injured people's wounds, and there were still people who went to check on their injuries every day. Although the Eighth Prince and the others were still unconscious, the wounds weren't too bad.

Murong Yan finished treating Xiao Er's wounds and wrote a prescription for him, ordering the butler to go get the medicine.

After busying himself for four hours, he finally finished. Murong Yan exhaled lightly, walked to the seat opposite of Qu Ling and sat down.

"Come, have a cup of tea." Qu Ling smiled as he pushed a cup of warm tea in front of him.

Murong Yan glanced at her, picked up the cup of warm tea and took a sip, then laughed: "Speak, what do you need my help for now?"

Qu Ling rolled his eyes, and pretended to be unhappy: "In your eyes, I am just a person who does not care about favors, but rather wants to steal?"

"No." Murong Yan said.

Qu Ling smiled in satisfaction.

However, his smile was not completely revealed, and he continued to listen to Murong Yan: "You are just a 'person who has something to ask of you'."

Qu Ling, "..."

Did he bully her for not studying properly and playing word games with her?

Thinking about how she needed help from others, she tried her best to resist the impulse to glare at him a few times, and said warmly: "I'll help Xiao San remove the parasite as soon as it's night, you're here to help?"

The smile in Murong Yan's eyes became wider, "You want me to protect his lifeline?"

The many years of mutual understanding were not empty. Just by thinking about it, he was able to guess her intentions.

Qu Ling said: "Yes."

After a person dies, use the Gu to revive, and then the Gu leaves the body. The person should recover to the state of death, which is logical.

Therefore, after the Gu Worm was lured out, she needed to use some ancient spells from the Miao Boundary to hang that person's last breath.

At this moment, not only did she need someone strong in martial arts to protect her and prevent her from being disturbed, she also needed someone skilled in medicine to pull someone back from death before that person's breath disappeared.

The former was up to Xiao Yi, while the latter was under Murong Yan's responsibility.

Murong Yan frowned, "My medical skills are not specialized, General Chen might be even better."

Qu Ling shook his head: "General Chen does not have time."

Currently, both Eighth Prince and Xiao Er were still unconscious. Xiao San wanted to "treat", and Xiao Yi wanted to protect Qu Ling. Murong Yan was not Xiao Jingyue's person, so the only person left to help Xiao Jingyue with his worries was Chen Linye.

Therefore, after Chen Linye dealt with the minor injuries on Eighth Prince's body, he didn't even have time to wash before he immediately went out the door.

Murong Yan helplessly agreed, "Alright, I will do my best."

The two of them were well aware that Xiao Jingyue and Chen Linye's current work might take another ten days to half a month.

They could wait, but Xiao San might not.

If it was during this period of time, it would be too late.

After dinner, Qu Ling made Xiao Yi go to Xiao San's room to guard, then ordered the few Dark Guard that Xiao Jingyue had left to guard the courtyard to get a bucket of hot water.

She carried a big bundle in her hands as she led Murong Yan into Xiao San's room.

After the two Dark Guard s brought the bathtub into the room, Qu Ling immediately opened the big bag in his hands and poured all the herbs inside into the bathtub.

These herbs have nothing to do with the detoxification, their function is to increase one's vital energy and physical strength for a period of time, mainly to prevent the victim from being too weak after suffering from the pain of detoxifying the Gu, and thus sticking out his hair.

Of course, maintaining one's Qi was a gradual process of circulation, so this method of seeking for more time to break out naturally had its side effects.

However, there was no other way. It was better to be injured than to lose his life.

After the two Dark Guard s left, Murong Yan went to close the door.

Then, he turned around to see Xiao San staring at the bathtub with a flushed face. Then, he looked at Qu Ling who did not notice anything amiss, and raised his eyebrow.

Just when Murong Yan was hesitating on whether he should remind Qu Ling or not, Xiao San had already opened his mouth.

Xiao San asked nervously: "Madam, this is … Do you want to soak in a medicinal bath? "

Qu Ling did not even raise his head, "Otherwise, will you drink it?"

Xiao San, "..."

A smile appeared in Murong Yan's eyes.

He could laugh, but Xiao San was so scared that her face turned even paler than a ghost's.

If the mistress were to know that he was bathing in front of the matriarch, even if the Gu was removed, he wouldn't have a life to live.

Xiao San's face was full of complex emotions, "Madam, can I not take off my clothes?"

Qu Ling was finally willing to raise her head and look at him with contempt, "You want to bathe and not take off your clothes?"

Xiao San, "..."
