The system helped him keep an eye on Fu Liyou, who then got up, tried not to make any noise, and left Lu Yan and walked out.

Fu Liyou came to the old man's residence. He lingered outside the door for a while, seemingly hesitating whether to go in. Finally, he made up his mind and knocked on the door.

The door opened and the old man appeared at the door. Fu Liyou was talking to the old man in a low voice. The system could not know what they were talking about, and Lu Yan did not know the content of their conversation.

Suddenly, Fu Liyou seemed to sense something unusual. He turned around abruptly, but found that there was no one behind him.

"Is it my illusion?" Fu Liyou said to himself.

"System, no need to look at it." Lu Yan's voice was calm and firm, as if he had already made a decision.

He knew very well that over-reliance on system monitoring would not really solve the problem, but would instead cause him to fall into endless anxiety and uneasiness.

The system seemed to understand Lu Yan's thoughts and immediately responded: "Okay, host." There was a hint of obedience and respect in its voice.

Lu Yan sighed softly and slowly closed his eyes.

He knew that there would be a long journey waiting for him early tomorrow morning, and resting at this moment was essential for restoring his physical and mental state.

In the darkness, Lu Yan's thoughts gradually drifted away.

The night was eerily quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind.

Lu Yan lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

He always felt that something was going to happen.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise outside, as if someone was approaching.

Lu Yan sat up vigilantly and listened attentively.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of his door.

He clenched his fists nervously, ready to deal with possible danger.

However, the door was not pushed open, but a low voice was heard: "Lu Yan, I know you are not asleep. I have something to tell you." It was Fu Liyou's voice.

Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, a trace of doubt arose in his heart, why didn't he come in.

He got out of bed and opened the door, and saw Fu Liyou standing outside with a complicated look in his eyes. "Come in." Lu Yan said.

Fu Liyou walked into the room and closed the door.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and finally, Fu Liyou spoke: "Tomorrow's road will be very dangerous, but I have something to leave for."

Lu Yan frowned slightly: "What do you mean by that?"

Fu Liyou gritted his teeth and said, "There are some things I can't tell you now, but you must believe me. No matter what happens, you go first, and I will catch up with you later." After saying that, he looked at Lu Yan deeply, then turned and left.

Leaving Lu Yan alone to think about his words.

Lu Yan looked at Fu Liyou's departing back, his heart full of doubts. "What he said felt very strange."

"What on earth happened that made him leave tomorrow?" Lu Yan muttered to himself.

The next morning, Lu Yan got up early, packed his luggage, and secretly wanted to follow Fu Liyou.

Along the way, they kept a certain distance, and Lu Yan was careful not to be discovered.

But suddenly, in the blink of an eye, Lu Yan could not find Fu Liyou.

"Host, you go first. Didn't he say he would catch up with you when the time comes?" Seeing that Lu Yan had lost him, the system quickly persuaded Lu Yan that it was too dangerous to follow him.

Lu Yan had to stop and say, "You're right."

Lu Yan turned and walked forward. He still had many questions in his mind. At this time, he could only trust Fu Liyou.

The scenery along the way was beautiful and peaceful, but Lu Yan had no intention of appreciating it. His eyes kept scanning the surroundings, expecting Fu Liyou to appear.

Soon, Lu Yan came to a turbulent river. The river was rushing and splashing, blocking his way.

He was thinking about how to cross the river when he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Lu Yan!" Fu Liyou called his name.

Lu Yan turned his head and saw Fu Liyou walking towards him from not far away.

Fu Liyou looked a little tired, but there was a determination in his eyes.

"You walk too slowly. If you continue like this, it will take forever to reach the capital." Fu Liyou walked to Lu Yan and couldn't help but say to him.

"It's okay, I'm glad you're here." Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go first." Fu Liyou pointed at the river, "But be careful, the river water is very fast."

Lu Yan stepped into the river carefully. The water hit their bodies, making them feel a little tired. But they supported each other and moved towards the other side step by step.

Finally, they successfully reached the other side. Lu Yan looked back at the rushing river, feeling deeply moved.

The reason why Lu Yan chose to go this way was because if Fu Liyou followed, this road would be the easiest to go.

Lu Yan didn't ask Fu Liyou what he did.

"Has the insect poison in your body never broken out?"

Lu Yan shook his head and said, "No." He couldn't possibly say that the system helped him suppress it.

"Hmm?" Fu Liyou's voice was a little strange, as if he was very surprised about something. "It's really strange that it hasn't happened until now." He muttered to himself, with a curious light in his eyes.

Having said that, Fu Liyou stretched out his hand without further ado and grabbed Lu Yan's wrist.

Lu Yan looked at him in surprise, not knowing what he was going to do.

Fu Liyou gently placed his fingers on Lu Yan's pulse, quietly feeling his pulse.

Lu Yan frowned, a strange feeling rising in his heart.

He felt that Fu Liyou seemed a little strange today, and was not the same as the Fu Liyou he knew before.

His behavior seemed a bit strange and confusing.

After a while, Fu Liyou let go of Lu Yan's hand, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

After a moment's silence, he spoke again: "Your physical condition is very strange. I have never encountered a situation like yours. But judging from the pulse, there is nothing serious at the moment." After that, he fell into deep thought again.

"I just don't know how you managed to suppress this insect poison." Fu Liyou started to talk more. "Or did the old man help you suppress it?"

Lu Yan frowned, feeling that there was something indescribable strange about the person in front of him.

Lu Yan shook his head. "I don't know either. Anyway, the insect poison has not occurred again." He decided to conceal the existence of the system for the time being.

Fu Liyou looked at Lu Yan thoughtfully.

The two continued to move forward, and along the way, Fu Liyou seemed to become much more lively than before.

Lu Yan's doubts grew, but he didn't ask any more questions.

As they walked, they came to the foot of a mountain. The mountain road was rugged and winding. Fu Liyou looked up at the top of the mountain and said, "After passing this mountain, the village we passed before is in front of us. Let's speed up."

Lu Yan nodded and followed Fu Liyou up the mountain.
