The First Venerable of the Prosperous Age

"Where is he now? What have you done to him?" Lu Xiaosan asked anxiously.

Ignoring Fu Rou, he turned to Wen Ying and smiled, "Miss Wen, let me have someone prepare some food for you first. There are still many guests upstairs, so it's not convenient to move around right now."

“Okay, Brother Lu, let’s eat first and then go see your little brother, okay?” Wen Ying said happily.

Fu Rou lifted Wen Ying's smiling face with one hand, while Wen Ying tilted her head with a look of anticipation.

At this moment, both stunning beauties turned their smiling eyes to Lu Xiaosan. One had a charming smile that could intoxicate countless men, and the other had a sweet smile that could warm all things in the world. Ordinary men, receiving such treatment, would inevitably be dumbfounded, their hearts swayed, and they would be completely captivated.

But this Lu Xiaosan, faced with this breathtaking scene, was filled with anger and disdain, her mind filled with thoughts of the boy she longed for.

"Don't worry, he's safe, and you'll be reunited soon."

Fu Rou stood up again, smiled at Wen Ying, and said respectfully, "Excuse me, Miss Wen."

Although Lu Xiaosan was extremely anxious, he ate the food with more relish than anyone else when it was placed on the table. "Damn it, I've been eating leftovers all day long. Today I'm finally eating something fresh."

After the guests left in the afternoon, Fu Rou closed the door early.

During this time, the girls in the building thought Lu Xiaosan had seen a ghost when they saw him return alive. Fortunately, Fu Rou intervened and prevented any trouble from happening.

Lu Xiaosan didn't care much about this, and with Wen Ying by his side, he didn't even bother to pay attention to it.

Seeing that it was about time, Fu Rou led the two up to the second floor, and after turning east and west, they arrived at a room deep inside.

Fu Rou unlocked the door and said softly, "Look, your Xiao Mei is inside."

"Why are you locking him up!" Lu Xiaosan stormed into the room in anger, expecting the room used to imprison people to be as desolate as a prison cell.

But once opened, one finds a bed, a desk, and an incense cabinet inside, all in a warm red color scheme, just like a woman's boudoir.

A person was sitting hunched over beside the bed, their head buried in their arms and legs. Only after hearing the door open did they slowly raise their head.

Disheveled and filthy, this was Chang'an, devoid of any of its former vitality.

When he saw that it was Lu Xiaosan who walked in, his dim eyes lit up.

At that time, Chang'an couldn't protect him and could only watch helplessly as Lu Xiaosan was thrown into the hearse, unable to stop him.

From then on, Chang'an made all sorts of noises, insisting on going out to find him.

But the landlord hasn't returned yet, so who dares to let him out? As a result, he's been causing all sorts of trouble every day, and the people in the building had no choice but to lock him in here.

One can only imagine how he felt seeing Lu Xiaosan return safely.

The two boys excitedly greeted each other, expecting a good cry, but instead they just laughed together.

The two didn't exchange pleasantries; instead, they hugged each other and started wrestling, rolling around on the ground. They found that the other was quite strong, which was much more reassuring than any polite conversation.

Under the watchful eyes of Fu Rou and Wen Ying, the two finally began to communicate normally after some commotion.

Lu Xiaosan told him about his experiences during this period and introduced Wen Ying to him.

After saying all that, Lu Xiaosan grasped Chang'an's hand, his eyes gleaming, and said meaningfully, "Little beauty, tell me, have you been used by someone who accidentally put something in your drink?"

Chang'an's gaze was fixed on the side as he pondered for a moment. "This... I can't quite remember, but it shouldn't be."

Fu Rou sat on a stool to the side, her snow-white legs peeking out from under her skirt and gently resting on her other leg. She said softly, "Then do you know anything?"

Chang'an remembered Lianxue's matter, which he had only told Lu Xiaosan, and Lu Xiaosan had promised him not to tell anyone else.

So the two exchanged a glance, neither wanting to break their promise.

Chang'an stammered again, "I... I can only confirm that I didn't put anything down..."

Seeing that his eyes were somewhat evasive, Fu Rou glanced sideways at him, leaned over her beautiful legs, and asked, "Are you sure nothing's wrong?"

Chang'an raised his head again, his face resolute, "No!" He couldn't reveal Lianxue's secret no matter what.

Fu Rou sighed, "Then..."

Wen Ying stepped forward again and said with a smile, "Let me check if you've been poisoned..."

As a result, wisps of black energy emerged from Chang'an's forehead.

Seeing that Chang'an had also been poisoned, Lu Xiaosan was very anxious and couldn't help but ask, "Little Golden Fur, how long does it take for this poison to take effect?"

Wen Ying rested her fist on her chin and pondered, "Hmm... some last a month, some only a few days."

"For...for several days!" Lu Xiaosan exclaimed in surprise, "Then...then doesn't that mean the poison could take effect at any moment!"

Wen Ying smiled wryly, "Hmm...that's possible."

"Then...then let's hurry and find the killer to get the antidote!"

“Brother Lu, don’t worry. I can test this poison and I can cure it.” Wen Ying smiled with narrowed eyes, her tone tinged with pride.

When Wen Ying opened her eyes again, Lu Xiaosan was already in front of her, staring at her coldly, which frightened her so much that she involuntarily took two steps back.

"You should have said so earlier... Heh, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"You didn't... ask, so... should I help you detoxify now?"

Lu Xiaosan pinched her soft, adorable cheek, widened his eyes, and laughed, "What do you think, my little cutie?" He only pinched it, not daring to use any force.

"Okay, okay, stop pinching me, stop pinching me, I know I was wrong," Wen Ying said, waving her arms.

Fu Rou sat to the side, watching the two with a smile. She, a person poisoned like herself, showed no panic whatsoever, while Lu Xiao San was frantically pacing around.

Wen Ying touched her face, a hint of resentment in her eyes as she looked at Lu Xiaosan. She saw Lu Xiaosan pouting and saying, "You promised you wouldn't hit me anymore."

After saying that, she stormed off angrily.

"What are you going to do?" Lu Xiaosan asked hurriedly.

"Go and detoxify your good brother," Wen Ying said, hands on her hips, somewhat annoyed.

"You should detoxify yourself first. You were also poisoned because of me, weren't you?"

Upon hearing his words, Wen Ying smiled again, "Well... I'm so sorry... I was the last one to be poisoned... hehe..."

Fu Rou chuckled softly, "Miss Wen, he was just afraid that you would suddenly be poisoned, and then there would be no one to remove the poison from his good brother, so he asked you to remove the poison from yourself first."

"This..." Chang'an looked helpless.

Wen Ying's beautiful eyelashes drooped, and her sky-blue eyes also lowered. "So that's how it is... How thoughtful..."

Lu Xiaosan gritted her teeth, "Don't listen to her nonsense! I never thought that way. I just want you to be the first to live! I won't let you die!"

This was indeed his original thought, and it became even more firm after he met Chang'an.

Wen Ying trembled, then turned her beautiful face and smiled knowingly. In an instant, all the withered flowers in the world bloomed again.

"Thank you..." All the words I wanted to say were summed up in these three words.

Next, Wen Ying made a cut on the vein of her wrist. She gently pressed the bleeding wound with her hand, and soon black liquid started flowing out of the wound.

"What kind of skill is this? It's truly amazing." All three of them were amazed by Wen Ying's abilities.

Soon, the black silk faded, revealing bright red blood.

Only then were the toxins in her body cleared.

Then Wen Ying removed the poison from their wounds and bandaged them. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, Wen Ying's fair forehead was covered in sweat, clearly indicating that the skill she had just displayed was putting a strain on her.

She was swaying, and the three of them went to support her and carried her to the bedside.

Wen Ying forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. There are other poisoned people waiting for me in the building."

"You should rest first!" Lu Xiaosan said in an almost commanding tone.

"Oh..." Her tone was full of obedience, and a little bit of gratitude.

Fu Rou smiled and comforted her, "He's right. You should rest first. Before that, we still have someone who might have poisoned you to ask."
