Senior brother, how can you fall for such a beautiful junior brother!

In the end, the two of them could only take the two girls back to Qinghong Sword Sect.

On the third night of the journey, the four checked into the inn. They suddenly heard a female voice calling for help outside. Zhao Honglan immediately chased after her, leaving Qu Tingquan to protect the two girls.

When Zhao Honglan caught up, he found out that it was the fairy lady.

Immediately, he realized that he had fallen into a trap and wanted to rush back, but was stopped by the fairy.

The fairy lady was no match for him, but she could still hold him back for a while. When the fairy lady retreated on her own, Zhao Honglan rushed back to the inn and found that Qu Tingquan was missing, her sword was left in the room, and the two girls also fainted in the room.

They had just had a feud with the fairy lady a few days ago, and today the fairy lady brought people to take revenge.

He also deliberately led Zhao Honglan away to take revenge on Qu Tingquan.

After realizing this, Zhao Honglan was furious.

However, there were no signs of a fight in the inn, and no clues were left at all.

He went downstairs to ask the night watchman of the inn about the situation, but was told that Qu Tingquan walked out on her own. The night watchman even called her, but she completely ignored him and left the inn in a daze, and never came back.

After hearing this, Lian Li and Yun Huizhou's expressions became very serious.

"Miss Qu shouldn't be the type to ignore others." Yun Huizhou said, "Her condition seems a little off. Could it be related to the poison that was absorbed by her dantian before?"

Zhao Honglan nodded and said, "I suspected the same thing. I sent a letter back to Qinghong Sword Sect to inform my father of the situation and asked him to go to the pharmacy to ask about it. I haven't received a reply yet."

"I happened to be near Linjiu City, so I thought of asking at Linyaolou in Linjiu City. As soon as I arrived here yesterday morning, Miss Xinci found me and asked to fight me."

He paused, then said, "At the time I felt as if it had been waiting for me here on purpose, and today's experience has confirmed it."

"When you went to the grove with Xin Ci before, did she tell you the news about Senior Sister Qu?" Lian Li asked.

Zhao Honglan nodded, then shook his head. He said, "She said she didn't know much. Her former benefactor found her and asked her to tell me that she knew the situation in order to trick me into a duel with her to delay time. Monk Sui Xin showed up last night. He was also found by her benefactor."

"The only thing she can be sure of is that Tingquan's condition was not caused by poisoning but by his own body. She asked me to ask Tingquan's father to see if he knows anything."

After hearing this, Yun Huizhou said, "Then go and ask Miss Qu's father. Does her father know about Miss Qu's disappearance?"

Zhao Honglan smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "Her father is in poor health, and she is his only daughter. I have kept her disappearance a secret from her father because I was afraid that he would be upset and something bad would happen."

"Have you asked Xin Ci'en who she is?" Yun Huizhou asked again.

"I asked her, and she said she didn't know who the other person was, but he had saved her life and given her a second life, so she wouldn't tell me even if she knew," Zhao Honglan replied.

"It seems that we still have to ask Miss Qu's father." Yun Huizhou said in a low voice.

"Yeah." Zhao Honglan sighed, "Now I have no choice but to disturb him."

After listening to them for so long, Lian Li weakly raised his right hand to attract the attention of the two.

"Junior Brother Lian, what do you want to say?" Zhao Honglan asked Lian Li.

"What we're saying is, is there a possibility that Senior Sister Qu actually has a poisonous insect in her body?" Lian Li said in a low voice.

"Gu?" Zhao Honglan's eyes were filled with surprise, and then he frowned slightly: "How could Junior Brother Lian have such a suspicion?"

Lian Li said to Zhao Honglan, "I have seen similar situations in the books in the library of the West Island Lord before. After being poisoned, the person loses consciousness, but the body can move normally. The specific actions depend on the mind of the person controlling the poisonous insect."

"I think it's quite similar to what the night watchman at the inn said. Xin Ci also said it was something in Senior Sister Qu's body. If it's not poison, then maybe it's a Gu?"

While Lian Li was speaking, he didn't even dare to turn around and look at Yun Huizhou.

Because although he had been to the library of the West Island Lord, he had never seen anything related to Gu, and no one here played with Gu. There were some in the West Island Lord's collection of books, but not many.

What's more, he and Yun Huizhou were almost inseparable on Zuimeng Island. Every time he entered the study of the West Island Master, Yun Huizhou was by his side.

Yun Huizhou knew exactly what books he had read.

Therefore, Yun Huizhou would definitely know that what he said about seeing something related to Gu in the study of the West Island Lord was a lie.

After Lian Li finished speaking, he kept praying in his heart that Yun Huizhou would not expose him.

His knowledge of the plot of the book was entirely based on his childhood friend's narration at the time. He hadn't listened carefully, and his memories of many things were very scattered. He couldn't remember them at all at ordinary times. Only when he came into contact with related events and felt familiar with them, and then recalled them, could he barely get a little bit of information.

And the Gu seems to be related to the heroine, because it is a long plot and he read it a long time ago, so he has an impression of it.

Feeling Yun Huizhou's piercing gaze, Lian Li felt uneasy.

Fortunately, Yun Huizhou did not expose him, which made Lian Li feel a little relieved.

Zhao Honglan frowned and pondered for a long time before he spoke: "There is no one in our Central Plains martial arts who practices Gu. The two major players are the Southern Xinjiang Spiritual Sect and the Demon Sect that was driven out of the Central Plains. Now they call themselves the Holy Sect in the Western Regions. Whose side could they be from?"

"..." Lian Li: "This is beyond my understanding."

It was good enough that he could remember it was a Gu, how could he remember which sect made it?

If I say something wrong, the two sides are so far apart that it would take almost the same amount of time to go back and forth.

"It seems that I can only ask Uncle Qu and see if he knows anything." Zhao Honglan said.

"Let's set off without delay." Yun Huizhou said, "Lian Li, you and I will go back to the inn first to get the horses and things."

Lian Li looked at Yun Huizhou and thought, you can just go back and get it by yourself. I will stay here with Senior Brother Zhao and analyze it again with him.

But when he met Yun Huizhou's eyes, he became timid in an instant.

Yun Huizhou did not have a blank expression on his face, nor did he have a fierce expression. Instead, he looked at Lian Li with a smile on his face.

But Lian Li read a sentence from his gentle expression: If you dare to say no, you are dead.

It's so funny, I wouldn't dare to do that.

Lian Li was scared: "Okay..."

He said to Zhao Honglan, "Brother Zhao, let's go back and get the horses and things."

"Thank you very much." Zhao Honglan said, "I need you to accompany me for a trip."
