Sha Li looked at her, and suddenly revealed a complicated expression, with a hint of regret and apology, "Su Huaiyue, I..."

Su Huaiyue gave her a comforting look, "It's okay, don't move, save your energy."

She tried to make her voice sound gentle but firm. She just couldn't understand what Sally was trying to test, spending so much manpower and material resources, and finally getting herself involved.

Zhang Qu watched coldly from the side, seemingly not caring about all this, only caring about whether his goal could be achieved.

Afterwards, Zhang Qu took Su Huaiyue to the small dark room where they had made medicine.

This is my second time here, but I feel much more relaxed than the first time.

Su Huaiyue took a deep breath and tried to keep calm.

Zhang Qu watched eagerly from the side, and the atmosphere was so tense that it almost froze.

She looked at the herbs in the corner and discussed, "How about this? I'll do my best, but I can't guarantee I can make enough. You know that my strength alone is far from enough."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Zhang Qu glanced at her coldly, then walked aside, seemingly losing interest in this small room.

Su Huaiyue pretended to be studying herbs, but was actually secretly calculating in his heart.

She knew she had to find a way before the deadline to ensure these people escaped unscathed.

She picked the herbs carefully, recalling the medicinal formulas she learned at her grandmother's house when she was a child.

Inadvertently, her hand stopped on a kind of delicate grass, and an idea flashed in her mind - this grass was a kind of material that her grandmother had taught her to make a colorless and odorless medicine to clean impurities.

As long as this grass is mixed into the poison made by Zhang Qu, it can achieve the effect of detoxification, and the poison will become a tonic.

Moreover, this grass is colorless and odorless, and its identity can only be detected through careful inspection. She believes that these men in black who are eager to act will not have the time to do so. They want to give it to these people quickly and use it to raise a large number of bats to achieve their goal.

After the last test on himself, Su Huaiyue concluded that these people had completely believed that the poison pills he made were of sufficient dosage, so naturally they would no longer doubt anything.

This just happened to be her umbrella of protection.

Now the most important thing is to mix this grass into the pills.

Zhang Qu didn't know how to do it, but just in case, Su Huaiyue still had to divert his attention to prevent him from discovering her actions.

As she prepared the herbs, she asked Zhang Qu, "What on earth do you want these pills for? With so many poisons, do you want to harm people?"

Zhang Qu's face darkened. "You don't need to know this. Hurry up and do it, or I'll cut off your tongue."

The expression on his face was as cold as ice, and his deep eyes revealed an elusive ruthlessness.

It is indeed a feature of the ancient castle, cutting people’s tongues.

Su Huaiyue didn't dare to ask any more questions. She believed that Zhang Qu was not threatening her jokingly, but would really do it.

Time passed minute by minute, and Su Huaiyue skillfully adjusted the dosage and mixed the colorless and odorless medicine into the prepared pills.

Before I knew it, beads of sweat had appeared on my forehead.

At this moment, she recalled Wei Che's bravery and wisdom again and again in her mind, and her heart became more determined.

If she could delay and buy that last bit of crucial time, perhaps things would turn around.

But the next second, the door of the house was suddenly opened, and a black-clothed messenger walked in with a corpse in his hand and threw it heavily in front of her.

The face of the corpse was blocked, but Su Huaiyue recognized his clothes at a glance - it was Zhang Yong, the messenger.

Although her heart was in turmoil, she remained calm on the surface, as if she knew nothing about the corpse in front of her.

She raised her head slightly and glanced coldly at Zhang Qu and the black-clad messenger.

"What do you mean? Can't you see I'm making medicine? We need to keep the house clean, what are you doing moving a dead body?"

She pretended to be calm and asked, causing Zhang Qu to squint and look at her.

Then he jokingly asked, "Don't you know this person?"

Hearing that he was trying to pry, Su Huaiyue tilted her head, her eyes full of contempt, and her tone became a little heavier, "Why should I know him? How many times do I have to tell you that you don't want these poisons anymore after leaving a dead body here?"

Su Huaiyue was certain that these people were more anxious to get the poisons than he was, so he naturally didn't dare to delay for even a moment.

Zhang Qu's test ended here. After all, he didn't see any sign of abnormality in Su Huaiyue's eyes.

Although his suspicion of her remained unchanged, the most important thing right now was to make the pills, otherwise he would be unable to resist if the Lord God got angry.

So he quickly waved his hand and asked the black-clad messenger to carry the body out.

Su Huaiyue turned around and continued to fiddle with the medicine in her hand, but her heart sank.

Just like that, a living life was once again lost in the hands of these executioners. She suddenly felt a little guilty and regretful.

If she hadn't asked Zhang Yong to deliver the letter, would he not have died?

Is there still a chance to reunite with my family?

But now it was useless to say anything. She had to get out of here quickly, find Wei Che, and find reinforcements.

She quickened her hand movements, no longer feeling tired. The black-clad messengers behind her came in wave after wave, and she was numb.

Finally, it's over.

"The medicine is ready." She dragged her half-numbed body to her feet. "Where's Sally?"

Zhang Qu was also a little surprised. He wondered where she got the strong motivation to make these medicines.

He gave a look to the black-clad messenger, and soon the man brought Sally over.

Zhang Qu and the black-clad messenger left with the medicine.

Su Huaiyue suppressed her confused emotions and looked at the unconscious Sally.

At this time, Sally moved slightly and woke up with a soft moan.

"Sally, how are you?"

Su Huaiyue asked softly, her tone filled with concern but also caution.

After all, every word here may be monitored.

"I... am fine." Sally's face was pale and she looked very scared. Her eyes flickered as if she was holding her breath to figure something out.

Suddenly, her hand seemed to accidentally touch a bump on the wall, and that bump turned out to be a hidden mechanism.

"Huh?" Sally pretended to be surprised, but in just a moment, the wall shook slightly, and then slowly opened, revealing a deep passage.

"This is……"

Su Huaiyue's heart moved, but she remained expressionless and asked tentatively.

Sha Li whispered, "So there's a trap here! Run away! You should be able to get out by taking this road. Maybe you can find Wei Che. With him, there's hope..."

Su Huaiyue's heart trembled and he hesitated for a moment.

Although Sally's words sounded like they were meant for her own good, she knew very well that she couldn't trust anyone.

This might be a trap, because Wei Che is mentioned again...
