Ouyang Feng sneered inwardly:

It's ridiculous that they still can't see the situation clearly even now.

He didn't believe she had any way to prove that she wasn't a Gu master.

After all, no matter what she says, he always has something to say to shut her up.

Moreover, Bai Ziyu is dead, and worms have appeared on his body. Whether these worms are Gu worms or not, in the end, they can only be!

Otherwise, how could Bai Ziyu have died?

With a firm conviction in his heart, he nodded naturally:

"That's natural!"

Yu Shuyan's eyes narrowed slightly:

"I hope you remember what you said, Taoist Master!"

Ouyang Feng felt that she was just being stubborn and looked at her with a sarcastic gaze, as if waiting to see how this clown would behave.

Wen Lang, with his head down, unconsciously frowned.

He always felt that something was wrong with Yuan Niangzi.

He had a bad feeling. It seemed that he absolutely could not let her continue talking, and that he should deal with her immediately.

Otherwise, something is bound to go wrong.

After a slight hesitation, he looked up at Ouyang Feng:

"Master, may I say a few words?"

Ouyang Feng looked at Wen Lang and saw that everyone was still kneeling on the ground. Although they enjoyed the feeling, those present were all noble young masters and ladies from Lingjin City. He put away the token in his hand and pretended to be surprised, saying:

"Oh dear, everyone, why are you still kneeling? It was my oversight. Please get up."

Everyone naturally stood up in response.

Wen Lang had just stood up when he bowed slightly to Ouyang Feng and said:

"Master, I am quite familiar with you and know your character well. You have the heart of a healer and care deeply for the people."

"But look at this Lady Yuan. She's scheming and vicious, and a notorious Gu master. Why waste your breath on such a person?"

"Moreover, Gu masters are skilled at casting Gu spells, which is extremely dangerous. Everyone here is a noble person, and we do not want to see anyone cast a Gu spell on them."

"I think that for everyone's safety, it would be best to take them back first and then conduct a thorough investigation."

Reminded by his words, everyone instantly and instinctively stared at Yu Shuyan with wary eyes, echoing his sentiments:

"That's right, let's take them away first."

"Yes, yes, let's take them away first!"

······

Yu Shuyan looked coldly at Wen Lang:

What a despicable and shameless scoundrel! Even his vigilance is so strong. No wonder she was completely fooled by him in her past life.

However, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you this time.

Yu Shuyan's voice remained calm:

“Young Master Wen, it is debatable whether I am a Gu Master; even if I am a Gu Master, I am not a madman, so why would I randomly cast Gu on people?”

"But Young Master Wen, while Master Ouyang didn't say anything, you were willing to offend Lord Cui to arrest us quickly, so that we wouldn't have a chance to prove our innocence."

"Could it be that Young Master Bai's death has anything to do with you?!"

Wen Lang's eyes narrowed suddenly as he stared intently into Yu Shuyan's eyes. He seemed to be trying to discern from her gaze whether she truly knew something as she spoke.

Yu Shuyan simply stared at him quietly, without looking away in the slightest.

Wen Lang's brows furrowed even more unconsciously:

He felt like he had seen those eyes somewhere before.

However, upon closer inspection, he simply couldn't recall any woman he knew who possessed eyes as calm and serene as a deep, still pool, where no one could glimpse the depths of her soul.

"How dare you! What nonsense are you spouting!"

This time, it was Ouyang Feng who uttered the rebuke.

When he saw Lady Yuan, he once again revealed their secret.

She was slightly startled, but then she saw Wen Lang staring at her blankly, as if he had been stunned, without arguing.

Fearing that others would notice something, he immediately reprimanded them.

His rebuke brought Wen Lang back to his senses, and he said in a deliberately gentle tone:

"It's alright. I just assume that Lady Yuan is panicked and at a loss because her identity has been exposed, which is why she spoke so recklessly."

"However, Lady Yuan, I still advise you. Now that your identity has been exposed and Miss Cui has been implicated, don't try to sow discord here and divert Lord Cui's anger onto me."

"I believe that you all know clearly in your hearts who is right and who is wrong."

His reaction actually lessened the dislike people felt towards him, which had just been criticized by Yu Shuyan.

After all, to be attacked like this and still remain calm and composed shows a level of composure far beyond that of many others.

Yu Shuyan wasn't particularly surprised by his reaction, and said calmly as before:

"Young Master Wen, you are truly admirable. To remain calm in the face of such accusations from me..."

Such self-assurance. Truly extraordinary!

A sharp glint suddenly flashed in Wen Lang's eyes.

He could tell perfectly well that she was seemingly praising him, but was actually subtly mocking him; he was a man of deep thought.

Who would sincerely befriend such a person?

Sure enough, when he looked into the crowd, he saw some people looking at him with a probing look in their eyes.

But even so.

Wen Lang remained composed, suppressing the raging anger within him, and smiled gently. In contrast, Yu Shuyan's words seemed sharp and incisive.

Ouyang Feng, however, was getting impatient:

"Alright, enough of this nonsense. Whether you're a Gu Master or not, I'll find out after I've finished my interrogation. Now, Young Master Bai is dead, and he died in the Prime Minister's residence, which is a very important matter. There are many things to deal with. So, I'm sorry, I don't have time to waste with you anymore."

He then looked directly at Cui Rongxing and said in a deep voice:

"Lord Cui, may I take the person away now?"

Cui Rongxing looked dejected at this moment.

The moment Ouyang Feng took out the token, his last bit of hope vanished.

Looking at Cui Yingying, who was being escorted by guards and had a stubborn expression, he felt a deep sense of regret.

If I had known, I wouldn't have spoiled her so much, letting her become so arrogant and ignorant. Little did she know the cruel situation she was about to face.

If he had known, he shouldn't have pushed her to get close to Lady Yuan.

She had hoped that by using the name of the divine physician Yuan Niangzi, she could have more leverage when it came to marriage proposals in the future.

But unexpectedly, it ended up harming her.

His heart was filled with extreme regret, reluctance, and pain, but under Ouyang Feng's compelling gaze, he finally let out a deep, powerless sigh and gave the order:

"Guards, take Lady Yuan and...and Cui Yingying away! Take them away!"

After a long pause, he simply couldn't continue speaking.

Yu Shuyan knew perfectly well that Cui Rongxing loved his daughter dearly and couldn't bear to see him suffer like this again.

He shook his head slightly, looked at Ouyang Feng, and spoke calmly:

"I'm sorry, Taoist priest. You probably don't have a reason to arrest me!"

Ouyang Feng was taken aback at first, then scoffed:

"You woman, are you scared out of your wits? You've started talking nonsense."

Yu Shuyan glanced at him indifferently, then looked at Cui Rongxing:

"Lord Cui, Master Ouyang identified me as a Gu master because Old Madam Cui and Young Master Bai were both infected with Gu. Therefore, he believes that the Gu in their bodies is related to me, the doctor who treated them. Is that right?"

Although Cui Rongxing didn't understand why she suddenly asked that question, he nodded:

"Indeed."

Yu Shuyan nodded:

"That's right. As long as I can prove that Young Master Bai has not been poisoned, then the suspicion against me will be invalid!"

Cui Rongxing looked at Ouyang Feng, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded:

"Logically, that's how it should be!"

Yu Shuyan nodded, then looked at Ouyang Feng:

"Master, do you agree as well?"

Ouyang Feng sneered inwardly:

The person is dead, how else do you want to prove it?

Besides, he had absolute faith in the Gu slave's ability to cast Gu spells. The Gu spells cast by the Gu slave were so powerful that, not only in the Great Yong Dynasty, but in every other country, almost no one could undo them.

So, with a mocking smile, he nodded:

"nature!"

A faint, almost imperceptible smile finally surfaced in Yu Shuyan's usually indifferent eyes:

"Okay, then I'll prove it to you right now!"
