Both worlds are like dreams

"Oh, I met a descendant of Wugu on my way to Shuanglin City. I showed him this elixir and he said that although it can suppress the outbreak of love poison, it is also highly toxic and it is best not to eat it as much as possible. But when I asked him why, he refused to tell me. Oh, I have to write a letter to tell Mr. Dongfang this."

"Where is that guy you met now?"

"We separated after entering the city, but he should still be in Shangyang City."

Xue Huang immediately stood up and went out, took out her whistle and blew it. Not long after, a secret sentry from the Shanhe Gate appeared.

"Describe the person you met to him."

Guan Canghai was puzzled, but looking at Xue Huang's serious expression, he still said: "I just know that he is a very old man. He always covers his face, so I have no idea what he looks like."

"When did you enter the city?" asked the sentry.

Guan Canghai thought for a moment, "At 7:00 p.m., at the South Gate, oh, he has a jade ring on his hand, with some flower carved on it."

"That's enough." The sentry retreated quietly and soon disappeared among the streets.

"Who are they?"

Xue Huang had no intention of answering. She sat down at the table again, but couldn't calm down at all.

If what Guan Canghai said was true, and the antidote was a highly toxic substance, what would happen to Gu Qinglan? And did Mo Yunchen know about it?

"Ms. Xue Huang? What's wrong with you? Why do you care so much about the antidote for the love poison?"

"Dr. Guan, I'm so glad you came to Shuanglin City."

Guan Canghai was becoming more and more confused, but Xue Huang seemed like a completely different person, as if she was suppressing something, so strange and resolute.

He had a vague guess in his mind, "Is there really someone who has been infected with this love poison? Or is it someone you know?"

Xue Huang did not answer. She tried to calm down and waited patiently for news from Shanhemen.

About an hour later, the secret sentry appeared like a ghost.

"Young Master, we found it. It's in Plum Blossom Lane on West Street. Our people have deployed defenses around it."

Xue Huang immediately stood up and left first.

Guan Canghai wanted to follow, but Xue Huang was too fast and left him far behind.

Xue Huang rushed to Plum Blossom Lane as fast as she could. She didn't even have time to catch her breath or knock on the door. She just pushed it open and rushed in.

The next moment, several poisonous insects flew out of the house and headed straight for her face, but before they reached three feet in front of her, they were frozen into ice sculptures by a gust of cold air and fell to the ground, shattering into several pieces.

An old man with his face covered came out, waved his cane, and another cloud of poisonous smoke came out.

Xue Huang immediately held her breath and dispersed the poisonous smoke with a palm strike.

"You are young, but you have some skills," the old man said, "but it is rude to come here uninvited. Why is that?"

"Senior, please forgive me for offending you. I really have something important to ask you to solve. I hope you can help me solve my confusion."

"I'm not in the mood. Don't disturb my rest, get out."

"Senior, are you a descendant of Wugu?"

"No." The old man drove her away impatiently, "If you don't leave, I will do it."

"Do you remember the Saintess Tumi who married into Beiyuan as the queen?"

"Everyone knows that the last saint of the Tumi tribe married the Emperor of Beiyuan. There is no need to lie to me about this."

"But the ring on your hand is a token of the Tumi tribe."

"how do you know?"

"The last saint was my mother."

The old man froze, and looked at her face in disbelief. "You do look alike. So you are... Wei Xuehuang? Also an orphan from Beiyuan?"

Xue Huang nodded, "It's me."

The old man stretched out his hand tremblingly, but then took it back awkwardly, as if he was afraid that Xue Huang would dislike him, "Are you really her daughter?"

"It's me. The pattern on the ring on your finger is a rose flower. I've seen it in my mother's portrait. She was wearing an identical one. And you're from Wugu, so who are you?"

“Child, I… I am your grandpa…” The old man looked extremely excited, his whole body trembling.

Xue Huang's eyes were filled with disbelief, "Grandpa?" She actually still had relatives living in this world?

"Yes! I am your grandfather, and your mother is my daughter! I...I came to Shuanglin City just to see you. You are my last relative in the world."

Xue Huang still found it hard to accept, this was too sudden. She was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"Child, come in and sit down. It's cold outside."

Xue Huang followed him into the house silently, her mind still in confusion, until the old man handed her a cup of hot water and revealed his true face.

It was a very old face, full of the vicissitudes of time, but Xuehuang could still tell at a glance that he and her mother did bear some resemblance.

After the rebellion ended, during the time when Donglin Temple was being built, Xue Huang looked up a lot of information about the Tumi tribe.

Unfortunately, there are not many records. We only know that my mother was the last saint and left after marrying my father.

The people of Wugu also began to pursue a new life and gradually left their homeland. Later, Beiyuan was destroyed, and the Tumi tribe lost the inheritance of the saint. Some people were afraid of being hunted down by Beiling, so they scattered.

Nowadays, only a few old people are still guarding Wugu. It is said that they no longer raise Gu, but live a normal life.

There was no mention of Xuehuang's mother's parents in the records. Xuehuang thought they were no longer alive, but she didn't expect that her grandfather was still alive.

She remembered that she had looked up a name. The great elder of the Tumi tribe was named Dan Feng, the father of the last saint of the Tumi tribe, but he disappeared later.

Xue Huang held the boiling water in her palm and sat face to face with the old man. She found that he was so nervous that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.

"Why did you come to see me?"

"You are my daughter's only blood, and also my last relative in this world. Over the years, I have been wandering around the world, living in a daze, until I heard that Beiling had rebelled and there were orphans in Beiyuan alive. I first went to Shangyang City, and then I heard that you were here, so I hurried to see you. You and your mother really look alike."

"I have only seen her portrait."

"The biggest regret in my life is that I didn't see her for the last time."

"Things are hard to predict." This was the only way Xue Huang could comfort him.

"Child, you just said you had something to ask me?"

Xue Huang nodded and took out a medicine bottle from her sleeve, which contained the antidote to the heart-eating poison.

"How come you have this?"

"I want to know, is this thing really poisonous? Isn't it an antidote to the love poison?"

"It can indeed suppress love Gu, because there is a key Gu in it, which is the heartless Gu cultivated by using the ice snow toad from the extremely cold land and the silver elixir grass. However, the snow toad is highly toxic, and using it to suppress love Gu is like drinking poison to quench thirst."

The cup in Xue Huang's hand fell to the ground. She clenched her hands tightly, her palms scratched by her nails but she didn't even notice it. "What will happen if I take it for a long time?"

"No abnormality will be seen in the short term, because the toxicity of the snow toad is masked by the other medicinal ingredients in this pill, but as time goes by, the person taking it will die of the poison within a few years."

"Is it too late to stop taking the medicine?"

Dan Feng shook his head. "This poison will accumulate in the body and eventually damage the lungs. Once the poison takes effect, there is no way to save the person. Even if the person who takes it is not tortured to death by the love poison, he will not live for more than a few years."

Xue Huang couldn't believe what she heard. She collapsed to the ground with blood dripping from her hands.

How could this be?

Tears welled up in her eyes, and through her blurry vision she seemed to see Gu Qinglan smiling at her.

Why? She clearly changed the ending, so why couldn't she change Gu Qinglan's fate?

He will still die!

Xue Huang's heart was filled with despair. She had never felt so helpless as she did at this moment.

She just wanted the person she loved to live well, even if it meant sacrificing her own life.

But what she got in exchange for the rest of her life was still a scam.

Mo Yunchen never said this. He clearly told her that as long as she stayed by his side, Gu Qinglan would live in peace and happiness. It turned out that he had been lying to her.

He never thought of letting Gu Qinglan go, which was why he didn't dare to give her the antidote formula!

Dan Feng looked at her hands covered in blood and tried to help her up, but found that she had completely collapsed.

"Kid, what's wrong with you? Who is the one who got infected with the love poison?"

Xue Huang could no longer hold it in. All the grievances she had suffered in the past burst out at this moment, and she could no longer control herself and burst into tears.

The crying was full of sadness and grievance, and it sounded heartbreaking.
