Seeing the young man's earnest expression, Nangong Qinghe asked, "You like Miss Liang?"

The boy standing by the bed stirred, but instead of responding to the question, he asked, "Do you know how to save her?"

Knowing that the young man would not answer his question, Nangong Qinghe looked down at the Cleansing Pearl and said, "I know the method, but I have never met anyone like Miss Liang whose evil energy has spread through all her meridians, nor have I ever seen anyone else successfully treat her."

He only held onto a sliver of hope.

The Cleansing Pearl is the only thing in the group that can save Jing Li.

This was his first attempt, and he wanted to give it a try regardless of whether it succeeded or not.

Nangong Qinghe spoke the truth, giving Yun Qi absolutely no hope.

Yun Qi slowly sat down, his well-defined fingers gently tracing Jing Li's cheek, the coolness from his fingertips sending a shiver through him.

"Then give it a try."

The boy looked somewhat颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it conveys a sense of listlessness, decadence, and worry) and 忧忧忧 (忧忧忧忧 - a feeling of being troubled and worried).

He looked exhausted, but seemed to be forcing himself to keep going.

Nangong Qinghe wasted no more time. He could clearly feel the heavy killing intent emanating from Jing Li, like a fog that had nowhere to dissipate, constantly gathering in Jing Li's body and darting around everywhere.

He walked to the bedside and gave Yun Qi a meaningful look. "It's better if you don't stay here."

Yun Qi looked up and met his gaze.

“There will likely be some leakage of malevolent energy when dealing with it. It’s a very troublesome thing for an ordinary person to be entangled by malevolent energy. You should know that.”

When faced with weak and scattered malevolent energy, the sorcerers can use spiritual power to protect themselves. Furthermore, the Xuanling Group specializes in researching jade that can absorb small amounts of malevolent energy. The function of the Cleansing Pearl is roughly similar to that of the jade that absorbs malevolent energy.

However, for ordinary people, if they are tainted by evil energy, it will cause great harm to their bodies and can easily shorten their lifespan.

"It's alright, you can begin." Yun Qi didn't take the matter to heart. "The murderous aura can't harm me."

Nangong Qinghe knew she couldn't let this Crown Prince Yun leave obediently, so she took out the jade she had on her and gave it to him, saying, "Take this for self-defense."

Yun Qi stared at the jade for a while before accepting it expressionlessly, saying, "Thank you."

He examined the jade but didn't find anything particularly special about it.

Seeing this, Nangong Qinghe placed the Cleansing Pearl between Jingli's eyebrows.

The girl's face was serene, and she didn't seem to have any abnormalities. Her fair skin was made even more translucent by the red beads, making her look like a ripe peach.

Closing her usually calm and serene eyes diminished her usual mystique, making her appear more like a gentle and tender southern woman.

Fragile and easily broken.

Nangong Qinghe was puzzled by this. How could the face of someone whose veins had been pierced by evil energy look like this?

In his mind, anyone who was possessed by evil energy would be on the verge of death, let alone an ordinary person, even for them, who were masters of mystic arts.

Moreover, after so much time has passed, Ms. Liang's condition seems no different from that of an ordinary person.

However, the malevolent aura emanating from him was undeniable...

He felt a sense of unease, but did not show it on his face.

Then, several talismans flew out from his body.

Yun Qi could sense an invisible force in the air, and for the first time, he looked at the person in front of him with new respect.

Nangong Qinghe's abilities are probably extraordinary.

The talisman paper looks somewhat different from the talisman paper used for regular missions.

The yellow talisman paper is mostly made of red cinnabar.

The runes on these talisman papers, however, were golden.

The talismans appeared to float in the air in a disorderly yet orderly manner.

An invisible force is dragging them along.

They were pasted one by one on Jingli's headboard, footboard, and quilt, and some were even shoved into the gaps under the bed and pasted directly to the bottom of the bed.

Nangong Qinghe absorbed the spiritual energy of the jade.

With his eyes closed, Yun Qi felt a strong gust of wind rush past him even though it was an enclosed space.

He could clearly feel the gust of wind rushing towards Jing Li.

All the talismans, however, seemed to be still, completely without any movement.

Until he saw a white mist slowly spreading upwards from the foot of the bed.

He could almost see the flowing black liquid inside Jing Li's body.

He frowned, his heart filled with mixed emotions, and his eyes were filled with heartache.

The girl's previously calm expression turned uncomfortable.

Jing Li frowned, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, and the beads on her forehead glowed faintly red.

The black liquid inside her body flowed like water from her legs to her upper limbs.

Until Nangong Qinghe sensed that all the evil energy was starting to rush towards Jingli's heart in a direction other than what he had specified, he suddenly withdrew his hand.

She looked at Jingli with disbelief and fear.

The talisman, which had been untouched, began to hiss and visibly broke in two, but the blackness absorbed by the Cleansing Pearl was minimal.

"what happened?"

Yun Qi was also shocked by this scene. He rushed over immediately to check on the girl's condition.

The girl's face was no longer as serene as before; her cheeks, which had been flushed, had turned as pale as before.

His brow was furrowed, as if he were enduring great pain.

This was the first time Nangong Qinghe had encountered such a situation. At this moment, even he, who was usually serious about things, began to be stunned.

what happened?

Given the current situation, he also wants to know what exactly happened.

Yun Qi grabbed the Cleansing Bead from Jing Li's forehead, and the bead instantly went out, but Jing Li's condition remained unchanged.

They could hear the rapid beating of their own hearts.

Yun Qi, his face filled with panic, pulled back the blanket covering Jing Li. Seeing Jing Li's chest heaving violently, his anger almost overflowed. "Nangong Qinghe! What's going on?"

Nangong Qinghe also immediately went to check on Jing Li's condition.

Sensing the change in the malevolent energy once more, he pursed his lips and said, "I've been backfired on."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Yun Qi was almost overwhelmed by fear.

"What will happen if there's a backlash?" He grabbed Nangong Qinghe's collar angrily. "How do we resolve this now?"

He would never let her die.

"Calm down first." Nangong Qinghe let him hold her, her voice was indifferent, and her eyes were fixed on Jing Li's direction.

"Miss Liang seems to have calmed down."

After he finished speaking, Yun Qi released his grip on Nangong Qinghe's hand.

He then went to check on Jing Li's condition.

The girl's breathing gradually stabilized, and her complexion returned to normal.

"What exactly happened?" Yun Qi stood beside Jing Li, his voice trembling slightly.

Nangong Qinghe shook her head. "Miss Liang seems to be different from ordinary people."

He had never seen anything like it before; with specific guidance, and especially with the attraction of the Cleansing Pearl, the malevolent energy could actually break through this guidance.

It then moves to the heart of the body.
