"Uncle! You scared her!"

Xie Yuze was startled and immediately pulled Xie Xing out of the man's arms.

"Uncle?" Xie Xing tilted his head to look at Xie Yuze beside him.

Xie Yuze explained, "This is Gu Jinglin, my maternal uncle."

"Ah, it's your maternal grandfather?" the system's voice rang out. "Your maternal family spoils you quite a bit. In the original storyline, the reason the original owner was so arrogant was entirely due to the support of her maternal family."

Your maternal family values ​​bloodlines very much; they'll like you without you having to do anything.

The system's voice brought Xie Xing back to his senses.

She looked at the man in front of her. He was tall and looked quite young. When Xie Xing looked at him, he winked at her.

Xie Xing: "..."

She immediately looked away, rubbed her cheek that had been stung by the stick, and obediently greeted, "Hello, Uncle."

Gu Jinglin was overjoyed. He took a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Xie Xing, saying, "This is a gift that your uncle prepared for you. It's just for you."

Xie Xing didn't answer, and turned to look at Xie Yuze beside her.

Xie Yuze said, "Just accept it if I give it to you."

Perhaps because of the thoughts he had heard earlier, Xie Yuze's expression was not good, and his voice was indifferent.

Before Xie Xing could say anything, Gu Jinglin headbutted Xie Yuze.

"Ow!"

Xie Yuze covered his head and looked up at Gu Jinglin in disbelief: "Why did you hit me!"

Gu Jinglin snorted coldly, "You disrespectful brat, who do you think you are?"

"You should call me Uncle."

Xie Yuze said with a sour face, "You're not that much older than me."

Gu Jinglin was the youngest son in the Gu family. Xie Yuze was born when Gu Jinglin was eight years old.

"You brat." Gu Jinglin pulled the man aside. "Mingzhu is your sister, and Xing'er is your sister too."

"I heard you only treat Mingzhu well, while neglecting your own sister. Is that reasonable?"

That was indeed the case before.

Xie Yuze said with a gloomy face, "We don't have any."

Gu Jinglin rolled his eyes at Xie Yuze.

Ximen Zhu crossed his arms and watched the group with a leisurely air. After they had finished talking, he slowly said, "Wait a minute if you want to catch up. I'm in a hurry to take your pulse."

Gu Jinglin immediately stopped talking. He walked over to Xie Xing and said with concern in his eyes, "Xing'er, quickly let Doctor Ximen take her pulse."

Xie Xing breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the divine doctor was Ximen Zhu.

If it were Ximen Zhu, she should be able to see the poison in my body, right?

Luo Hanfeng still wants to use poison to blackmail me. I don't have much time left; I must get rid of the poison in my body before the 15th.

Xie Yuze listened without showing any expression on his face.

When Xie Xing's inner thoughts appeared, he glanced at Gu Jinglin and Ximen Zhu beside him.

Neither of them showed any change in expression, making it impossible to tell whether they could hear Xie Xing's thoughts.

"Ozawa."

While Ximen Zhu was taking Xie Xing's pulse, Gu Jinglin asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

"To check if Xing'er has any mechanical injuries, an ordinary doctor can take her pulse. Why insist on calling in the divine physician?"

The Valley of Divine Healers is a secluded place.

Now, the only one still active in the martial arts world is Ximen Zhu, but his whereabouts are unpredictable and he is difficult for ordinary people to find.

Aside from Jun Lanjin, the only other person who had a relationship with Ximen Zhu was Gu Jinglin.

The reason Xie Yuhe insisted on finding the miracle doctor was because the ordinary doctor had not been able to diagnose Xie Xing's problem when he examined Xie Xing's pulse last time.

Therefore, Xie Yuhe dragged Gu Jinglin along to find the divine doctor.

This matter dragged on for a whole day, and with Xie Xing being kidnapped, it was only today that Ximen Zhu finally came to visit.

Xie Yuze couldn't tell Gu Jinglin about this, so he casually said, "After all, he fell off a cliff. Let's check if there are any hidden injuries."

Ximen Zhu's lips twitched.

He had some doubts. Could it be that the Xie family also knew about Xie Xing being poisoned by the Half-Month Poison?

However, since Junlan was able to notice it, there's no reason why the Xie family couldn't.

Ximen Zhu shook his head, and only placed his hand on Xie Xing's wrist for a moment before letting go.

With a gentle smile on his face, he said in a calm voice, "Miss Fifth is in good health, just a little tired. She can have some ginseng soup to nourish herself."

Xie Xing looked bewildered and looked up at Ximen Zhu.

[How could he not diagnose it?] Xie Xing thought to himself, somewhat astonished.

The system also found it strange: "[That shouldn't be the case. Ximen Zhu is arguably the most skilled doctor appearing in this book; there shouldn't be any poison he couldn't detect.]"

Moreover, the Half-Moon Poison is quite famous in the martial arts world.

Xie Yuze frowned and asked Ximen Zhu, "Is my sister really alright?"

"I watched her fall off the cliff with my own eyes, how could she be completely unharmed?"

Ximen Zhu looked at Xie Yuze with a half-smile: "Does this mean that Young Master Xie doesn't trust me?"

"In that case, your Xie family should find someone more capable."

As Ximen Zhu spoke, he flicked his sleeve and was about to leave.

Xie Yuze paused for a moment, then softened his voice and said, "Please don't be angry, Doctor. I'm just concerned about my sister's health."

"Would the miracle doctor like to take another look?"

If the poison in Xie Xing's body is not cured, it will always be a ticking time bomb.

But now is not the time for a showdown.

Xie Mingzhu's identity has not been verified, and he and his elder brother are unable to catch the remnants of the former dynasty hiding in the shadows.

If it's fake, that's fine. But if it's real, the Xie family will be completely unprepared and executed, which would be a real injustice.

They didn't know what trump cards Luo Hanfeng had up his sleeve, so they couldn't afford to turn against him for the time being.

Ximen Zhu said calmly, "There's no difference between doing it once or twice; your daughter is perfectly fine."

Junlan had her own plans, and Ximen Zhu naturally couldn't tell anyone about Xie Xing's Half-Moon Poison.

Since Ximen Zhu had already said that, Xie Yuze's continued questioning seemed rather suspicious.

He pursed his lips and said nothing more.

Ximen Zhu nodded gracefully to Xie Yuze, then turned to Xie Xing and said with a playful smile, "I'm leaving now, little Xing'er, take good care of yourself."

Ximen Zhu said some ambiguous things, and then walked out of the front hall.

Xie Xing still had his head down, his brows furrowed, looking somewhat confused.

Only after hearing Ximen Zhu's words did she look up.

Xie Xing's eyes sparkled as she stared at Ximen Zhu's retreating figure.

He could definitely tell that she was poisoned, but he didn't say it to Xie Yuze and the others.

"Xing'er, do you know the divine doctor?" Gu Jinglin asked curiously about Ximen Zhu's intimate attitude, then turned to look at Xie Xing.

Given Ximen Zhu's personality, not just anyone can catch his eye.

Xie Xing then said, "I met him at Prince Jin's residence. We played a game of chess together and that's how we got to know each other."

Upon hearing about playing chess, Xie Yuze's expression became somewhat strange.

Xie Xing is indeed very good at chess.

Xie Yuze never won against him in a game of chess.

“Prince Jin?” Gu Jinglin frowned.

How did this get involved with Prince Jin again?
