Zhao Lingshan was stunned when she heard this. She obviously didn't expect Yu Qingning to ask her about Yin Suxue.

"Why are you asking me this?"

Yu Qingning carefully observed Zhao Lingshan's expression and found that Zhao Lingshan's expression was a little unnatural when she heard Yin Suxue's name.

Not only that, there was a fleeting hint of disgust in his eyes.

This also made Yu Qingning think of the gossip that Feng Wuyang had told her, that Zhao Lingshan and Yin Suxue did not get along.

Yu Qingning raised his lips and said slowly, "I have been practicing Gu Dao with my master, but I have never helped anyone to remove Gu."

"I met Master a few days ago, and he gave me a detailed account of the process of removing the poison from Fairy Suxue, asking me to study it carefully so that I can handle similar situations independently in the future."

"But it only records the process of removing the poison and the precautions to be taken. It doesn't mention the symptoms a person experiences during the poisoning period."

"I heard that when Fairy Suxue was infected with the Gu, Senior Sister Zhao was ordered by Master to stay by her side. I believe she knows a lot about her condition."

"That's why I'd like to ask Senior Sister Zhao to describe to me the specific symptoms Fairy Yin Suxue experienced while intoxicated. This way, I can have a more comprehensive understanding of the symptoms of this Gu attack and be able to more confidently address it when I need to cure it in the future."

After hearing this, the defensive look on Zhao Lingshan's face faded.

His brows furrowed slightly, as if he was recalling something, and then he slowly spoke: "After Yin Suxue was poisoned, she did have some unusual reactions."

"During her coma, her body was sometimes hot, sometimes cold, and her face was sometimes pale, and sometimes had an abnormal blush."

"The most abominable thing is that she occasionally falls into nightmares, mumbling to herself, as if she is talking to someone, but I can't make out what nonsense she is saying."

"Not only that, she even hit me! You're a Gu cultivator, so tell me, would someone who's been poisoned by a Gu attack someone while unconscious? Is that bitch Yin Suxue taking this opportunity to get revenge on me?!"

Zhao Lingshan spoke angrily, obviously extremely dissatisfied and resentful towards Fairy Suxue.

After saying this, he immediately realized that his words were a bit extreme, and he shouldn't have called Yin Suxue a bitch in front of an outsider.

But what is she afraid of? She and that bitch have been at odds for a long time, and it’s no secret anymore. Is she afraid of people finding out?

What's wrong with her scolding Yin Suxue? She can't even scold a bitch!

The corners of Yu Qingning's lips twitched, and she wanted to say that this arrogant sister was really arrogant. She called her master's wife a bitch, and Zhao Lingshan was really brave.

But looking at Zhao Lingshan's excited expression, it was enough to prove that what she just said was all true.

Not only was Yin Suxue in poor physical condition during the period of being poisoned, she was even unconscious, which was indeed a good time to take over someone else's body.

"Then tell me first, besides the symptoms mentioned above, is there anything else unusual about Yin Suxue? Or is there anything unusual around her?"

Zhao Lingshan took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and after some reflection, she continued, "Well, it seems there's something else unusual."

"After she was poisoned, the air around her seemed to become a little strange. One time, just after midnight, I suddenly felt a chill emanating from her, which made me shudder."

"And the candles in the room went out for no apparent reason a few times, then re-lit on their own."

"That's not all. One time, I saw with my own eyes her bed curtains moving without wind, as if something was moving inside!"

"I told several of my senior brothers, but they didn't believe me. They said I was dazzled, or that the wind was strong because the window was open at night. They also blamed me for not closing the window properly. But I saw it clearly, it wasn't wind, nor was it an illusion!"

Zhao Lingshan's voice was a little tense, and it was obvious that the thought of these strange phenomena made her feel uneasy.

Yu Qingning frowned. These phenomena were indeed unusual. Even if the person was poisoned and his behavior was strange, there shouldn't be anything unusual around him.

Thinking that most monks carry talismans with them, he asked, "Have you ever tried using talismans or magical instruments to detect whether there are any foreign objects in the room?"

Zhao Lingshan nodded and then shook her head: "I tried it, but it didn't work. I couldn't find any abnormalities with either the talismans or the magic tools."

"What exactly is going on? Could it be that Yin Suxue wasn't unconscious at all, and she was just pretending to be asleep in front of me? Are all these strange things she's doing to mess with me?"

Zhao Lingshan shook her head again. "But that's unlikely. I checked her pulse and breathing. She's indeed in a coma, with no signs of waking up. She's probably not pretending to sleep."

Yu Qingning's eyes darkened. "Senior Sister Zhao, have you told Immortal Lord Haotian about this?"

Zhao Lingshan continued to shake her head: "Even my fellow apprentices don't believe me, so how could the Immortal Master believe me? Besides, I didn't leave any evidence at the time. The Master would definitely think I was talking nonsense."

After saying this, Zhao Lingshan stared at Yu Qingning, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. "Do you believe what I say? You're a Gu cultivator, don't you think there's something strange about Yin Suxue?"

Yu Qingning pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Senior Sister Zhao, these phenomena may be related to the Gu worm that poisoned Yin Suxue."

"Some poisonous insects will exhibit abnormal activity under certain times or conditions, causing those infected to behave abnormally. Fairy Suxue probably didn't hit you intentionally."

"As for those strange phenomena that Senior Sister Zhao mentioned, I believe that Senior Sister Zhao was not mistaken. It's just that I didn't see them with my own eyes, and it's hard to explain why these strange phenomena occurred."

After saying this, Yu Qingning paused and continued, "However, Senior Sister Zhao has already tried spells and magical instruments to no avail, and these strange phenomena didn't come out of thin air. Perhaps they were caused by the poisonous insect."

"Although some Gu worms are inside the human body, they can still affect the surrounding environment, such as causing air currents to surge."

Zhao Lingshan nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. "You mean these strange phenomena might be the result of the interaction between the Gu worm and the surrounding environment?"

Yu Qingning nodded. "That's right. There are many types of Gu worms, and each has its own unique characteristics. Some can affect a person's mental state, while others may affect the surrounding environment."

"Since the talismans and magic tools have no reaction, it's not caused by the poisonous insect. Could it be that someone took advantage of this opportunity to possess Fairy Suxue?"

Hearing this, Zhao Lingshan was startled and stood up from her seat. She was obviously shocked by Yu Qingning's last sentence.

"What did you say?! Say it again!"

Seeing this, Yu Qingning quickly comforted her, "Senior Sister Zhao, don't be too surprised. I was just saying it casually."

"Although the possibility of possessing a body exists, it is not easy. If someone really took advantage of the opportunity to try to do so, Senior Sister Zhao, with her extraordinary cultivation, would definitely be able to detect it."

"I think it must be the poisonous insects that caused the strange things around."

Zhao Lingshan sat down slowly, her shocked expression easing slightly.

"How dare you make such wild guesses? Although I don't like Yin Suxue and even hate her, if someone dares to use the art of possessing another's body under my nose, then they must be tired of living."
