"Yes,"
Because Nangong Yue was injured, she was currently at the Wanfeng Tea House, and Ah Bao was also there.
Therefore, as soon as Hua Wuyou entered the tea house, they knew what had happened. Liu Liu followed behind with her son, showing some concern. Although Hua Wuyou's actions were too arrogant, he never intentionally harmed her, and she cared for him.
Feng Xie remained silent the entire way. He had just narrowly escaped death, seeing Liu'er and Mu Xing fall off the cliff.
His heart had flown out with them. Fortunately, mother and son were both safe, which put his mind at ease.
However, he had been stimulated by Liu'er earlier, and his chest felt uncomfortable. After adjusting his breath, he felt better.
As the group returned to the Wanfeng Tea House, with someone injured, the place immediately became busy. Fortunately, no one knew that Hua Wuyou was the madman who abducted women; otherwise, they would have surely attacked him with swords.
Nangong Yue's poison was also resolved, and she had completely recovered. After examining Hua Wuyou, she shook her head with a troubled expression, released his arm, and the group returned to the main hall.
"He was poisoned with a Gu, which attacked his brain, causing him headaches. He is now acupunctured, so he doesn't feel the pain. I cannot resolve this Gu.
All I can do is use silver needles to contain the Gu, making him less suffering, but this will cause him to enter a state of suspended animation until he resolves the Gu and recovers.
Nangong Yue's words left everyone stunned. They hadn't expected Hua Wuyou to be manipulated by someone. Moreover, he had said earlier, 'Act according to my command!'
Who could be manipulating so many people from the shadows? This person must have a malicious and cunning mind, capable of easily controlling even those from the Demon Palace.
This person is comparable to Feng Xie. Just as Feng Xie controls the entire martial world, this person has been controlling the Demon Palace all along. Who could it be? Everyone speculated but could not come to a conclusion. The immediate concern was what to do about Hua Wuyou.
Should they just ignore him?
"Is there no way to cure this Gu?" Liu Liu asked in a deep voice.
"To resolve this Gu, one must go to the Qilian Mountains. Many Gu-controlling tribes live in the Qilian Mountains and are skilled at resolving Gu. However, the Qilian Mountains are a long journey from here. Moreover, even if they reach the mountains, people might not be willing to help him, and who would go to the Qilian Mountains for him?"
Nangong Yue spoke as if she were uninvolved. After all, this man had poisoned her, and he had almost killed her. It was good enough that she could tell them about such a place.
As for who would be willing to go to the Qilian Mountains for him, she didn't care. Whoever wanted to go could go. She had only done what she should and said what she should.
Liu Liu knitted her brows. It was impossible for her to completely ignore this man. Thinking that such an arrogant person had no one to confide in at this moment, she felt a hint of pity.
This man, how many evil deeds had he committed? The main hall fell into silence, and no one was willing to pay attention to this man. Suddenly, a pleasant voice rang out.
"I will go. I am willing to send him to the Qilian Mountains."
Everyone looked over and saw the charming Dai Mei, with a look of seriousness.
Although she always argued and bantered with Hua Wuyou before, from this moment on, she felt pity for this man. The suffering he endured might be thousands of times that of ordinary people.
However, he still had a pure land in his heart; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to save Mu Xing at the last moment. She was willing to go to the Qilian Mountains for the last trace of purity in his heart.
"Daimei, are you sure you want to go to the Qilian Mountains for him?"
Liu Liu stood up and looked at Daimei. Perhaps in Daimei's heart, she felt pity for Hua Wuyou. Many relationships in this world begin with pity. Liu Liu looked at Daimei seriously.
"Master, I am willing. Please entrust him to me. I believe Master would also be worried about him." Daimei stepped forward to face Liu Liu, reaching out to hold her master's hand. Her usually charming eyes twinkled with emotion.
"Alright, go with him. If he recovers, be sure to send me a message," Liu Liu nodded. She felt it was difficult for Daimei to have such good intentions. She hoped that when Wuyou woke up, he would treat Daimei well and not fail this lifelong companion. Liu Liu murmured to herself and turned to look at Ah Bao.
"Ah Bao, accompany Daimei to the Qilian Mountains. Since you understand medicine, go with them to prevent any accidents on the way."
Ah Bao received the order and immediately nodded, "Yes, Master, please rest assured. I will definitely escort Manager Dai to send him to the Qilian Mountains."
Seeing that someone was actually willing to go to the Qilian Mountains for this demon, Nangong Yue said no more and immediately signaled Feng Xie to release his acupoints.
As soon as his acupoints were released, Hua Wuyou curled up in pain again, convulsing incessantly. It was evident that he was in extreme agony. Liu Liu quickly turned away, unable to bear to watch any longer.
Others also felt a bit unbearable. Although this man was a demon, seeing such a proud person tormented by poison and Gu was disheartening. How venomous was this Gu?
Nangong Yue sealed the Gu in Hua Wuyou's brain with silver needles. The silver needles would remain in his brain, and when someone was willing to resolve the Gu, they could simply remove the needles. She carefully instructed Daimei, and Nangong Yue's task was complete.
Daimei and Ah Bao immediately took Hua Wuyou to the Qilian Mountains. With Hua Wuyou's departure, the major concern that had tormented everyone for a while was finally gone.
Moreover, the prefect had also found the lost daughters. Most importantly, Hua Wuyou had not taken their purity this time.
At once, the large Fengyue City regained its vitality. The prefect posted a public notice, and the citizens together set off firecrackers to celebrate. The entire Fengyue City was immersed in joy.
However, some people felt extremely heavy-hearted. Feng Xie had been repeatedly contemplating since Hua Wuyou left, wondering who had used Hua Wuyou with such ruthless methods.
Moreover, the conspiracy was so watertight that he knew about his own departure from the palace immediately. Who exactly was this person?
For a time, he suspected Feng Luo, his younger brother who had been banished by the Emperor. However, he had sent people to monitor him. The spies clearly stated that he had been living a life of pleasure and indulgence in Cangzhou City. Could it all be a facade?
Feng Xie exuded a chilling aura and called out to the outside.
"Ri Ying,"
Ri Ying walked in, followed by Yue Ying. Zhan Yun and Lin Cai Xue had already returned. He did not need too many people following him, as it would be too conspicuous everywhere.
"Master, what is it?" Ri Ying respectfully cupped his fists, awaiting his master's orders.
Feng Xie's eyes were icy, and a proud smile played on his lips. "Immediately send a carrier pigeon to Prince Yan, ordering him to send people to infiltrate Prince Xiang's mansion and investigate truthfully whether Prince Xiang is truly..."
Prince Xiang, Feng Luo, his imperial brother. If he truly dared to commit such treasonous acts, then he would not be blamed.
Before his death, the Emperor had intended to sentence Prince Xiang to death, but he and Prince Yan had pleaded for a sliver of hope for him, and promised the Emperor that they would send people to monitor him lifelong, which was why he had survived.
If he had dared to come out and cause rebellion, then he could not blame his imperial brother, Feng Xie. A dark, greenish aura appeared on his face. Ri Ying, standing behind him, immediately nodded.
"Yes, Master. Your subordinate will handle it immediately."
Ri Ying walked out. Yue Ying stood before him, wanting to speak but hesitating. He was afraid that his Master would become enraged upon knowing, so he was somewhat trembling. Feng Xie understood his unspoken meaning and his expression darkened. "Speak, what is it?"
"Reporting to Master, your subordinate has just received news that the Empress and the Crown Prince have left the Wanfeng Tea House."
"What?" Feng Xie shot up like a whirlwind, his face changing several times. A flicker of urgency flashed across his handsome face. He reached out a large hand and tightly gripped Yue Ying's robe, speaking with cold ferocity, "When did this happen?"
