"You'd better hurry up and tell me!"

Jin Wanliang couldn't hold back any longer and urged him to speak.

Bai Ziyu's eyes remained fixed quietly on Yu Shuyan. His gaze was as warm as the winter sun, offering a silent support and reassurance.

Yu Shuyan noticed Bai Ziyu's gaze, and her heart skipped a beat, but she had no time to think about it. Instead, she apologized and said:

"Young Master Bai, would you mind giving me the golden and silver worms you have?"

Bai Ziyu nodded:

"it is good!"

However, as he said this, he showed no intention whatsoever of handing her the golden and silver worms.

Yu Shuyan raised an eyebrow, her eyes questioning.

Bai Ziyu smiled faintly:

"I'll keep the bug. I'll have Zhaoying put it in a container later, and then I'll give it to you, okay?"

His gentle and considerate nature, coupled with his flawless handsome face, once again made the ladies present' eyes flutter with desire.

Some couldn't help but cast envious glances at Yu Shuyan.

Yu Shuyan, however, was unaware of these gazes. Because, even someone as cold-hearted as her was momentarily stunned by Bai Ziyu's incredibly handsome and warm smile.

However, she quickly regained her composure, nodded naturally at him, and said calmly:

"Then, I'll have to trouble you, Young Master Bai."

Only after he finished speaking did he realize the envious gazes coming from all around him.

He sighed inwardly:

Beauty is a disaster.

But he said it on purpose:

"Young Master Bai, although I saved you, you paid for it. I didn't expect you to be so grateful. No wonder you are a role model for the scholars of our Great Yong!"

Seeing her trying so hard to explain, Bai Ziyu's eyes flashed with affection, but he nodded slightly in agreement with her words.

"I will repay your life-saving grace with the greatest gratitude."

Yu Shuyan was taken aback again, not expecting Bai Ziyu to be so cooperative.

She turned her eyes slightly and saw that the jealous looks from before had faded considerably.

Some of the young ladies even looked at her with gratitude, as if she had saved their husbands.

Yu Shuyan sighed inwardly once again:

Beautiful women are a source of trouble!

He breathed a slight sigh of relief, looked at everyone, and said:

"Everyone, through this golden and silver worm, we can completely find out who poisoned Young Master Bai."

Wen Lang's clenched palms were so tight that they were bleeding.

Yu Shuyan looked at him mockingly, but paused for a long while before slowly continuing:

"It will just take some time!"

Jin Wanliang raised an eyebrow:

"What do you mean? It needs time? How much time?"

Wen Lang also stared at her nervously.

Yu Shuyan didn't beat around the bush and said directly:

"About three days! I need to treat the silver larvae with medication before I can make it identify the culprit."

Wen Lang's tense expression relaxed considerably in an instant, and he unconsciously let out a breath.

There are so many things you can do in three days.

The crowd suddenly erupted:

Three days~

"You must be kidding me"

"Yes, are we all supposed to stay here for three days?"

“Ridiculous, that’s absolutely impossible.”

"That's right~"

······

Hearing the commotion erupt in the crowd, Ouyang Feng's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted:

“Miss Yuan, those present are all sons and daughters of high-ranking officials in Lingjin City. You may not care about your reputation, but they certainly do.”

"How could you make them all stay here for three days? It's ridiculous."

As soon as he took the lead, people in the crowd immediately followed suit:

“That’s right. We are all ladies from respectable families. Let alone staying out all night, even going home a little late is absolutely out of the question.”

"Yes, we all have to go to the academy early tomorrow morning. If so many people don't go to school, the teacher won't be able to handle it."

"That's right, that's right. Staying here for three days is absolutely impossible."

Bai Ziyu suddenly coughed twice.

Instantly, the noisy sounds fell silent.

Bai Ziyu's influence is evident.

Ouyang Feng, however, was not having it. Although he didn't want to provoke Bai Ziyu, that didn't mean he was afraid of him.

Moreover, if possible, we should take this opportunity to let Wen Lang leave temporarily.

So they have three days to figure something out.

After all, Wen Lang is a decent strategist. If possible, it's best not to give him up.

Ouyang Feng's face darkened, and he coldly snorted:

"Alright, this farce is over. Whoever wants to participate can participate. I'm not going to keep up."

Then, looking at Wen Lang, he gave the order:

"Young Master Wen, the princess has instructed you to go to her residence. She has something to discuss with you in person. Well then, since I also need to report to the princess, you can come with me!"

Wen Lang was overjoyed inside, but he pretended to be calm and nodded.

"Then I'll trouble you, Taoist priest, to give me a ride."

As he spoke, he walked eagerly toward Ouyang Feng.

Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was looking at Ouyang Feng and Wen Lang, Jin Wanliang leaned close to Bai Ziyu's ear, chuckled mischievously, and whispered:

"That's a walking 'Princess Changning,' are you going to stop her?"

Bai Ziyu, however, looked at Yu Shuyan with a doting smile. He showed no intention of stopping them whatsoever.

Jin Wanliang looked into his eyes, then followed his gaze to Yu Shuyan, who stood calmly in the crowd. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Big brother, you wouldn't really do that to her, would you?"

Bai Ziyu glared at Jin Wanliang, instantly silencing him. However, Jin Wanliang didn't forget to roll his eyes back at him.

"Don't worry, everyone. You can all leave now! My method doesn't require your presence."

Yu Shuyan suddenly spoke calmly.

Ouyang Feng and Wen Lang suddenly stopped in their tracks as they hurried away.

He suddenly turned around, his face showing disgust and wariness as he frowned at Yu Shuyan.

Especially Wen Lang, whose cold gaze almost froze her.

Yu Shuyan noticed that the mockery in his eyes had deepened. She glanced at everyone present and said calmly:

"Everyone, the Prime Minister's residence will keep a record of those present today. Once the golden and silver larvae are successfully cultivated, Lord Cui will notify everyone to go to the Lingjin City government office for testing. As for how the test will be conducted, I will not go into details here. I will inform you all in due course."

"Rest assured, everyone, my method is foolproof. It will definitely allow you to clearly see who the poisoner is."

Bai Ziyu nodded:

"Good, that's excellent."

Cui Rongxing hurriedly echoed:

"Young Master Bai, rest assured, I will arrange everything properly."

Seeing that Bai Ziyu and Cui Rongxing had both said so, no one dared to say anything more. Although they were unwilling, they could only suppress their reluctance.

Wen Lang thought he could get through the day peacefully.

Unexpectedly, Lady Yuan had such a trick up her sleeve. Her emotions surged wildly, and the resentment in her eyes almost tore her apart.
