With Lin Nanyue leading the way, Lin Qiuer's toes carefully followed his heels and they set foot on the road out of the village that was infested with poisonous snakes and insects.

Seeing those disgusting twisted things again, Lin Qiuer got goosebumps all over her body, but she soon discovered that these poisonous snakes and insects would dart away the moment she stepped on them.

It was obvious that these poisonous snakes and insects disliked the two of them more than she disliked them.

Once they passed the area where poisonous snakes and insects were, Lin Qiuer suddenly felt the air became fresher, her mood became better, and even her steps became lighter.

Soon, she saw the wooden house at the foot of the mountain. As soon as they entered the wooden house, they saw Gu Anqing sitting on the bed, and Changqing was digging something in the fire with a stick.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Lin Qiu'er walked to the bed and asked Gu Anqing with concern, "Can you move your whole body?"

Lin Nanyue walked to the fire to see what Changqing was digging at.

When Gu Anqing saw Lin Qiu'er, he smiled distantly but politely and replied, "Thanks to Miss Lin and Brother Lin, I slept well last night."

"I'm glad that my fourth brother's kindness was not wasted." Lin Qiuer said deliberately.

This made Gu Anqing not know how to respond for a moment. He was silent for a long time before saying, "Miss Lin, do you have anything to tell me?"

Lin Qiuer was secretly delighted. It was comfortable to talk to smart people. She could even hear this.

She continued, "Although I helped Master Gu to expel the poisonous blood, I found that you were still unable to move before I left yesterday. So when I returned to the village, I immediately went to see the witch doctor and asked him for a precious pill that can cure all poisons."

Hearing that Lin Qiuer was injured and had specially asked for detoxification pills for him after returning home, Gu Anqing felt deeply moved.

He had heard his grandfather praise the medical skills of the witch doctors in the village. He also knew that such detoxification pills were a priceless medicine in the outside world.

"Thank you Miss Lin for your concern." Gu Anqing thought of his grandfather who was suffering from poison at home, and hesitated to ask, "I wonder if I can take the antidote pill back with me?"

I am still young. If I can take it back, I can let my grandfather take the detoxification pills to relieve the pain.

Lin Qiuer frowned after hearing this. She had thought Gu Anqing was a reasonable person, but she didn't expect him to be so stupid. Was he afraid that she would poison him? Should she take him back to let the doctor confirm first?

"If you don't like the detoxification pills I brought, just tell me directly. I'm not at the point where I'd beg you to give me something good." Lin Qiuer's tone sounded slightly displeased.

Gu Anqing was very anxious when he saw that Lin Qiuer had misunderstood what he meant, but he didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Miss Lin, please don't misunderstand the young master." Chang Qing came to the bedside from the fire at some point and explained, "The young master wanted to bring Miss Lin's detoxification pills back to the old master. This time we ventured into the Nalan Mountains to find herbs for the old master to use to detoxify."

"Oh?" Lin Qiu'er made many guesses about the purpose of the two of them going into the mountains, but she didn't expect this to be the reason.

Gu Anqing nodded and continued, "There is really no other way this time. In the past, the family doctor could prescribe medicine to suppress the toxicity. But this time, one of the important herbs is said to only grow deep in the Nalan Mountains. I didn't expect that not only did I fail to find the herb, but I was also chased by the men in black all the way."

After hearing this, Lin Qiu'er couldn't help but ask, "How did the elders in your family get poisoned?"

Hearing this, Gu Anqing's face became more serious, "We don't know how he was poisoned, and even the doctor can't find the cause."

What’s the point of practicing such high level martial arts?

If you don't even know how you got poisoned, then you won't know when you'll die at the hands of someone else, right?

Lin Qiuer pursed her lips and glanced at Gu Anqing with a look full of disdain.

But on second thought, Lin Qiuer remembered that Lin Youniang had mentioned that the commander here was from the Gu family. From the black-clad men who had previously hunted down Gu Anqing to the Gu family's old master being poisoned without any signs, could it be that the conspiracy against the Gu family had already begun?

Thinking of this, Lin Qiuer couldn't help but frown.

She had just arrived here, so how could she have encountered so many troubles, and each time it was about other people's lives.

Despite this, these thoughts only flashed through Lin Qiuer's mind.

However, in the eyes of Gu Anqing and Chang Qing, Lin Qiuer's facial expression changed too quickly. Her expression changed several times with each breath.

"First, take the detoxification pills I brought. They are specially formulated for your symptoms. Then describe Old Master Gu's symptoms to me. When I return to the village, I will shamelessly try to ask the witch doctor for medicine to see if I can get an antidote." Lin Qiuer said after thinking for a moment.

I finally found an ally, I can't lose him like this.

Gu Anqing heard Lin Qiuer's words and showed a delighted expression on his face. He thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you very much, Miss Lin. I will follow your arrangements in everything."

"In addition to delivering medicine to you today, I have another thing to tell you." Lin Qiu'er said with a serious expression after Gu Anqing and Changqing had thanked them.

"What's the matter? Please tell me, Miss Lin." Seeing Lin Qiuer's solemn expression, Gu Anqing immediately asked seriously.

Lin Qiu'er took out a bamboo container containing detoxification pills from her bosom and said, "Take a detoxification pill first. Your body cannot move, so it's useless even if you have any ideas. Changqing, go get some water."

Upon hearing Lin Qiuer's instructions, Chang Qing immediately ran to the fire, filled a wooden bowl with warm water, and brought it over carefully. Then he took the detoxification pills handed over by Lin Qiuer and helped Gu Anqing take them.

After Gu Anqing took the detoxification pill, Lin Qiuer took out two wooden tablets from her arms and placed the one she found on the man in black on the bed first.

"I found this wooden sign from the men in black when I buried them after you fell unconscious."

Gu Anqing was full of doubts when he first saw the wooden sign, but when Lin Qiuer said that it was found from the man in black, his face turned extremely ugly.

Changqing couldn't help but anxiously pick up the wooden sign on the bed and look at it carefully, but he really couldn't see anything special.

"I guess this is a symbol of status." Lin Qiu'er explained, "Perhaps those men in black didn't expect that the three of them wouldn't be able to defeat you alone, so they carried it with them."

Gu Anqing's face was extremely gloomy. "If I hadn't met Miss Lin, my fate would indeed be to be buried in a depression deep in the mountains."

Lin Qiu'er put the wooden plaque on the bed again and said, "This was taken from the murderer who killed the elders of the village many years ago. These two wooden plaques are exactly the same in size, style, and the words engraved on the edges, except for the color and weight."

Gu Anqing looked at the other wooden sign on the bed again, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Lin saved me. Maybe it was fate arranged by God. I believe that Miss Lin's willingness to take out this wooden sign also means that we have the opportunity to become cooperative partners."

Lin Qiu'er nodded and praised, "Mr. Gu is indeed very smart. But I would like to remind you that those people may have been eyeing your Gu family from the beginning."

"Are you saying that my grandfather was poisoned by these people?" Gu Anqing immediately thought of what Lin Qiuer had just asked about the reason why his grandfather was poisoned, and he already had his own conclusion in his mind.

"It's not certain yet, but it's very likely." Lin Qiu'er said seriously, "If the elders in Mr. Gu's family passed away for no reason, would it have a big impact on Biancheng or Nanyue Country?"

Hearing this, Gu Anqing and Chang Qing's faces became extremely solemn.

Of course, it will have a huge impact and is likely to cause political turmoil in the Nanyue Kingdom.
