I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

After Liu Hong was out of danger, the Liu family's attitude towards Zhang Jun changed drastically.

"Mr. Zhang, please stay with us at the Liu family!" Liu Ming said sincerely, "My grandfather still needs your care. We at the Liu family will definitely treat you well!"

Liu Ying also echoed: "Yes, Mr. Zhang, you saved my grandfather's life, you are our Liu family's great benefactor. Please stay and give us a chance to repay you!"

Even the Liu family's servants looked at Zhang Jun with awe. His ability to bring the dead back to life was simply divine.

Zhang Jun thought about it and realized that he really had nowhere else to go for the time being, and that Mr. Liu's physical condition really needed to be observed for a period of time.

"Okay, I'll stay for a few days." Zhang Jun nodded, "But I have one condition. I'm not used to being disturbed by too many people."

"Don't worry, we won't disturb your rest!" Liu Ming hastily assured him, then turned and ordered the housekeeper, "Hurry and clean up the best guest room in the East Courtyard!"

"No need." Liu Ying suddenly said, "The East Courtyard is too far away, and it's not convenient to take care of Grandpa. Mr. Zhang should live in the West Courtyard, which is closest to Grandpa's room."

The housekeeper looked at Liu Ying with some embarrassment. The west courtyard was the young lady's residence, and it seemed inappropriate to let an outsider live there.

"Just do as Ying'er says." Liu Ming completely followed Zhang Jun's opinion at this moment. "Mr. Zhang, do you think this is okay?"

Zhang Jun nodded indifferently: "Whatever."

Liu Ying was secretly delighted and quickly ordered the maid to clean up the room.

Wang Dingguo felt embarrassed to stay any longer at this time. After all, he had just caused such a big misunderstanding, and now he had to follow his master with a thick face, which was really unreasonable.

"Master, I'll take my leave now." Wang Dingguo bowed respectfully. "I'll come see you again another day."

"Yeah." Zhang Jun responded lightly.

After Wang Dingguo left, Zhou Xuewei also felt bored and found an excuse to leave. Before leaving, she looked at Zhang Jun deeply, with a hint of complicated emotions flashing in her eyes.

As night fell, the Liu family returned to peace.

Zhang Jun was assigned to a beautifully decorated guest room in the west courtyard. The room was elegantly furnished, revealing the delicate thoughts of a Jiangnan woman.

"Mr. Zhang, are you satisfied with this room?" Liu Ying personally brought tea and snacks.

"Not bad." Zhang Jun nodded casually, then asked, "How is your grandfather now?"

"He's awake now, and his spirits are much better than before." Liu Ying's eyes were filled with gratitude. "It's all thanks to you."

Zhang Jun hummed and didn't say much.

Liu Ying stood there, as if she had something to say, but didn't know how to start.

"Is there anything else?" Zhang Jun looked up at her.

"No... I'm fine." Liu Ying blushed and quickly retreated. "You should get some rest early."

After closing the door, Liu Ying leaned against it, her heartbeat inexplicably speeding up. The moment she looked at Zhang Jun just now, she felt like her heart was about to jump out.

This man was truly strange. He looked ordinary, yet he possessed a charisma that was impossible to ignore. Especially when he was administering acupuncture and saving lives, his composure was truly stunning.

After washing up, Zhang Jun lay in bed, thinking back on what had happened that day. From being kicked out of his home to saving someone and becoming his disciple, the experience of that day was more exciting than the previous year.

But he wasn't carried away by these changes. The Liu family was polite to him now because he had demonstrated his value. If he were no longer useful, these people would turn against him faster than turning the pages of a book.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jun couldn't help but smile bitterly. Human nature is so realistic. There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

It was late at night and Zhang Jun gradually fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, there were slight footsteps outside the door.

Zhang Jun was instantly awake. Years of vigilance had made him extremely sensitive to any abnormality. The footsteps were very light, as if someone was deliberately lowering their voice.

The door lock was turned gently, and Zhang Jun secretly clenched the silver needle under the pillow.

The door slowly opened, and moonlight poured in through the crack, illuminating a slender figure.

The person was wearing white pajamas, with long hair loose, and walking slowly on the ground barefoot. Zhang Jun took a closer look and found that it was Liu Ying!

But her expression was very strange, her eyes were closed and her face was dull, as if she was sleepwalking.

Liu Ying walked to the bed and actually lifted the quilt to get on the bed.

Zhang Jun was shocked and quickly sat up: "What are you doing?"

Liu Ying did not respond, still with her eyes closed, mumbling something incoherently.

Zhang Jun then realized that she was sleepwalking. He had read about sleepwalking in ancient medical books. In this state, the person's consciousness is blurred, but the body will move according to the guidance of the subconscious.

"This is my room..." Liu Ying said vaguely, and then was about to climb onto the bed.

Zhang Jun quickly got out of bed, took out a silver needle and tapped several acupoints on Liu Ying.

Liu Ying's body trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. When she saw the situation clearly, she was completely stunned.

She was standing in a man's room, wearing only a thin nightgown, and the man was standing in front of her with his upper body half naked.

"Ah!" Liu Ying screamed and subconsciously hugged her chest, "You...why are you in my room?"

"This is my room." Zhang Jun said helplessly, "You sleepwalked here."

Liu Ying then remembered that she had given this room to Zhang Jun. This room was indeed her boudoir.

"I...I was sleepwalking?" Liu Ying's face turned as red as an apple, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"You probably subconsciously still think this is your room," Zhang Jun analyzed. "Sleepwalkers act according to their subconscious."

The more Liu Ying listened, the more embarrassed she felt. She actually sleepwalked into a man's room and almost climbed onto his bed!

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!" Liu Ying apologized in a panic, then turned around and tried to run away.

But maybe he was too nervous, his foot slipped and he fell backwards.

Zhang Jun was quick to act and hugged her waist. The two of them were so close that they could clearly feel each other's breath.

Liu Ying stared blankly at Zhang Jun, who was so close to her, her heart pounding. The moonlight shone on his face, making his sharp features look particularly charming.

Zhang Jun was also a little stunned. The woman in his arms had skin as white as jade, and her faint body fragrance made his heart flutter.

The two of them just stared at each other, and there seemed to be electricity surging in the air.

"Ahem." Zhang Jun was the first to come to his senses and quickly let go of her hand. "Are you okay?"

Liu Ying finally realized what was happening. She was so embarrassed that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence: "I...I'll go back first!"
