"We were born at the same time, from the same mother's womb."

Everyone was stunned. Apart from their names, the twins looked completely different, with no resemblance whatsoever.

Uya tugged at her braid, noticing everyone's confusion, and gave a soft "humph," "No wonder you can't tell. That brat didn't want to look like me, so he used a Gu poison to change his face."

But then everyone fell silent again.

They suddenly realized that, as she said, the two were blood relatives. Could they really trust this girl? How could they be sure they weren't in cahoots? And would she really help them break the curse?

Everyone had different expressions, but Wuya seemed completely unconcerned about their sudden wariness towards her. Instead, she winked playfully and asked, "Then aren't you going to remove the curse?"

No one answered.

Her eyes darted around, finally settling on Chu Ling. She probably realized he was the leader of the group, so she tilted her head to look at him, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Walk."

Chu Ling did not hesitate at all.

Tao Xian led the way, and Wu Ya skipped and hopped along behind her.

Xuanfeng slowly stopped and approached Xie Yan, quietly asking him, "What exactly happened to that girl?"

Xie Yan shook her head, put her hands behind her back, sighed, and asked in a somewhat heavy tone, "Do you know what the most unfamiliar yet familiar relationship in this world is?"

Xuanfeng's lips twitched, not understanding how the topic had suddenly veered off course like this, but he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is it?"

Xie Yan: "That's just a colleague relationship! So how would I know what's really going on with her?"

Xuanfeng: "..."

Seeing the veins bulging on Xuanfeng's forehead, Xie Yan added, "All I know is that she suddenly appeared a few years ago, saying she was looking for someone in the Central Plains, and that's how she joined Fengyun Tower."

Upon hearing this, Xuanfeng pondered for a moment, "Looking for someone? Could it be that the person she's looking for is Wu Li?"

"Yeah."

The girl's voice came, and Wuya suddenly interrupted their conversation, standing in front of Xuanfeng without anyone noticing.

"Speaking of which, I forgot to ask you, how is Wu Li doing? Is he alright?"

She asked a series of questions, her face full of worry, probably unaware of what her brother had done.

But seeing how concerned she was, Xuanfeng was pondering how to tactfully tell her the truth when Chuling let out a thunderous shout—

"Oh, I stabbed him, I don't think he's in good shape."

Upon hearing this, Wuya was stunned for a moment, staring straight at Chu Ling, her voice trembling: "How could this be... Then, is he... is he dead?"

The last three words were spoken with a smile.

Looking at her again, she no longer seemed grief-stricken; instead, her face had a strange blush, and she was looking at Chu Ling with great anticipation.

Chu Ling raised an eyebrow at her, a playful look in his eyes: "No."

"Tsk."

Uya's face turned cold. "What a pity."

She turned and walked away, muttering to herself as she went, "He's actually still alive. He got off easy."

The group exchanged glances. The killing intent in Wuya's words seemed genuine; she truly regretted that Wuli hadn't died.

What exactly happened between these two siblings?

They walked in silence and soon arrived at the room where the person under the influence of the Gu poison was being housed.

As soon as Wuya took a step, her face showed disgust. She pinched her nose and muttered, "It really is that brat's Gu. It has a disgusting smell."

In a daze, the scorpion tattoo on the back of her neck seemed to move slightly.

After dismissing the others from the room, Wuya opened her mouth and slowly chanted a spell similar to the one Wuli had uttered that day.

As the chanting began, the people who had been lying quietly on the bed suddenly became restless. Their bodies began to convulse and struggle involuntarily, and veins bulged all over their bodies.

Then, these people suddenly sat up, their faces contorted and distorted, and lunged at Uya with ferocious expressions.

Uya stepped back, raising her hand to stop the others from helping. She stopped chanting and instead pulled a bone flute from her sleeve, placing it to her lips.

The sound of the bone flute filled the air, and only then did the group understand why Uya hadn't allowed them to get close.

The sound emitted by the bone flute was strange and eerie, and the sound waves that followed made everyone's eardrums ache, and their heads began to feel dizzy.

She kept changing the rhythm and melody of her playing, and those who were under the spell gradually changed from resisting and suffering to being obedient and quiet.

As the flute music reached its climax, they suddenly stopped moving, fell to the ground, and opened their mouths.

The person afflicted with the Gu convulsed violently, and one after another, Gu worms flew out of their mouths.

Uya's eyes sharpened, and the flute music suddenly changed. The sound waves shot out like sharp blades, splitting the flying Gu worm in two.

In just a short while, the Gu worm that had once left everyone helpless was easily dealt with by Wuya.

She tossed her braid and crushed the corpse of the Gu worm with her foot. "Hmph, after all these years, that brat's Gu is still so mediocre."

Seeing that she didn't move again, Tao Xian immediately went forward to take the pulses of her companions.

"Wow, this lady also knows medicine."

Uya smiled at Tao Xian, "Although the Gu worms are gone, their depleted true energy cannot be recovered. They will be weak for some time, but they can recover quickly with some rest."

Chu Ling looked at Tao Xian, who nodded slightly in agreement.

He then bowed to Wuya and said, "I thank you for your help, young lady. How can I possibly repay your kindness?"

"kindness……"

Uya clapped her hands and said to the group, "If you see Wu Li again, just kill him for me."

Xuanfeng finally couldn't help but ask, "Isn't he your younger brother?"

"Yes. But how does that conflict with my decision to kill him?"

Uya tilted her head, as if she didn't understand why Xuanfeng would ask such a question, and then looked at Xie Yan for approval.

Xie Yan nodded in agreement: "Yeah, I also have moments when I want to kill my brother."

The two exchanged a glance and, sharing the same ideals, gave each other a high five.

Xuanfeng remained silent: ...Am I still too normal? And you surnamed Xie, you don't even have any brothers, do you?

At that moment, someone on the ground groaned; it was Meng Lan slowly waking up.

When Meng Lan woke up, she felt dizzy and her whole body ached as if she had been brutally beaten.

He couldn't even lift his hand, and when he opened his eyes, he cried out in terror, "Ah! My eyes! I can't see!"

"what?!"

Xuanfeng was startled upon hearing this. How could this have happened? Could it be that the Gu worm had some kind of aftereffect?

The expressions of the group of people suddenly turned serious.

However, the next second, Tao Xian, who was standing next to Meng Lan, sighed and tapped him on the head, "Wake up, you're only half blind."

Meng Lan: "...Oh right, I forgot about it right away, hehehe."

Several people:"……"

Now the group really wanted to beat him up.
