At this point, it is very clear that there is something fishy about her cousin Ruan's death, and her father is in seclusion and is in great danger.

And all this is related to Li Jinyan, the wife of the owner of Tianlou, and Ruan Youning.

"Master, please hurt Ling Bing, seriously." Ling Bing asked again.

Ruan Qiao's expression changed and she looked at him.

Ling Bing looked at her devoutly and said, "Master, if I take out the Heart-to-Heart Gu, the other Heart-to-Heart Gu in Ruan Youning's body will definitely attack her. She has no choice but to take out the Heart-to-Heart Gu and kill it.

From now on, she can no longer order her subordinates to do things, but they still have to stay by her side. Without the constraints of the Tongxin Gu, they can investigate more of her secrets."

"You want me to seriously injure myself, then gain her trust and lurk by her side?" Ruan Qiao asked.

Ling Bingshen said firmly: "Yes!"

Ruan Qiao disagreed: "That's not necessary. If we want revenge, we can do it openly. If we want to investigate the truth of that year, there are other ways. There is no need to put ourselves in danger like this."

Ling Bing felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and he said stubbornly, "Master, please give Ling Bing a chance to serve you. I've already missed you for twenty years, and I don't want to have any more regrets."

Ruan Qiao's heart was moved. Meeting his unwavering eyes, she said helplessly, "You don't want to have any regrets, and neither do I. You have to save your life and come back safely. I'll wait for you."

Ling Bing's eyes instantly filled with tears, and he said in a resolute voice, "Yes, Master, I will never let you down."

"Oh, so you're a crybaby!" Bai Xie crossed his arms and sneered.

Ling Bing's body stiffened, and she immediately glared at him coldly.

After that, he said to Ruan Qiao: "Master, don't trust others easily."

After saying that, he snorted coldly at the white scorpion again.

Ruan Qiao's mouth twitched as she watched Ling Bing leave.

…

In Tianlou, Qu Banyao hurriedly invited Elder Yao over.

Accompanying Elder Yao were several other elders from Tianlou.

When they heard that the Saint called Ling Bing's name when she was in trouble, they didn't know what they were thinking and were very concerned.

When they arrived, Ruan Youning was lying on the ground in a terrible state, his body twisted and struggling, and he kept emitting shrill and tragic screams.

At this moment, she had none of her usual elegance and dignity.

"Elder Yao, hurry up!"

Seeing the elders, Ruan Youning couldn't wait to ask Elder Yao for help.

Her hair was disheveled, her face was covered in cold sweat, and her eyes were bloodshot and even a little ferocious.

Several elders frowned at the same time, looking displeased.

Elder Yao is a slightly plump old man of medium height, about seventy years old, with gray hair, a serious expression, and bright eyes.

The displeasure on his face flashed away, and he quickly walked up to Ruan Youning and said in a deep voice: "Saint, even if the pain is unbearable, you shouldn't lose your composure like this."

Ruan Youning's body stiffened, but in the blink of an eye, it was broken by the severe pain coming from her body. She screamed "Ah" and her body was forced to roll on the ground and hit Elder Yao's leg.

Elder Yao couldn't help but frown again. He asked Qu Banyao, "What exactly happened?"

Qu Banyao shook her head in panic, "I don't know either. The Saint suddenly became like this."

Elder Yao frowned and squatted down to take Ruan Youning's pulse.

After a moment, his face changed drastically, as if he had discovered something terrifying, and he quickly let go of Ruan Youning's wrist.

At the same time, Ruan Youning's screams and struggles gradually weakened.

Her face was pale and her lips were blue, clearly showing signs of losing her vitality.

At this time, another old man with black hair and black clothes walked forward. He stared at Ruan Youning's face and the faint movement under her skin, and his face looked extremely ugly.

"Something happened to Ling Bing. The Tongxin Gu in her body backfired." He said in a deep voice.

Elder Yao naturally noticed it as well. He looked confused and didn't know what to do for a moment.

The elder said, "The only way now is to draw out the Tongxin Gu in her body and kill it. Otherwise, she will surely die."

Elder Yao looked at him and said hesitantly, "That's the Heart-Sharing Gu. There's only one pair. If you take it out, it'll be gone."

The elder's face changed, and he shouted, "Old Yao, you are confused. Something has happened to the one in Ling Bing's body. There is no point in keeping this one.

Moreover, if she doesn't take it out, she will surely die. She is the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Tower, she cannot die!"

He emphasized the words "Holy Maiden of Tianlou".

Elder Yao's face suddenly changed as he thought of something, and he began to remove the poison from Ruan Youning without saying a word.

About fifteen minutes later, a translucent blood-colored poisonous insect bit a big hole in Ruan Youning's chest and crawled out.

It was strong and fat, obviously much bigger than Ling Bing's.

Obviously, when it was wreaking havoc in Ruan Youning's body, it had devoured Ruan Youning's flesh and organs.

As soon as it came out, it was captured by Elder Yao and burned to death.

At this time, Ruan Youning's twitching and weak body slowly calmed down.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard, and in a blink of an eye, a lady who looked only about thirty-five or thirty-six years old strode in with two attendants.

As soon as she came in, she saw the body of Tongxin Gu on the ground being engulfed by flames.

Her face looked extremely ugly.

"Elders, what's going on? Do you know what you are doing?" the lady asked loudly as she came in.

Elder Yao and the other elders bowed respectfully when they saw the noble lady, "Greetings, Madam!"

The woman stared at them with extremely sharp eyes.

Elder Yao stepped forward and said, "To answer Madam, something happened to the Heart Gu in Ling Bing's body, and the Saint was attacked. We had no choice but to remove the Heart Gu from her body."

When the lady heard this, her pupils suddenly contracted. She looked in Ruan Youning's direction with an ugly expression.

"How is she now?"

Elder Yao said, "The Saint is no longer in danger of death and is now in a coma."

The lady looked in Ruan Youning's direction with a gloomy expression.

She looked at Qu Banyao again and asked sternly, "Where's Ling Bing? What was he doing?"

Qu Banyao's scalp tightened, and even her breathing became cautious. She replied, "Madam, Ling Bing was sent by the young lady to the Jiang Sect to bring someone back. Unexpectedly, something went wrong during the trip."

"Who does she need to send Ling Bing to bring back?" The lady frowned unhappily.

Qu Banyao said, "It's a girl named Shui Youyou."

The lady's expression suddenly changed subtly, and then she stopped talking.

After a long while, she said, "Take good care of the Saint and let me know when she wakes up."

After saying that, she turned and walked out.

Qu Banyao quickly agreed and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The noble lady suddenly stopped and said, "Also, if Ling Bing comes back, ask him to come see me!"

Qu Banyao agreed again.

Several elders looked at each other and followed the noble lady.

"Madam, the Tongxin Gu suddenly ran into trouble. This matter cannot be taken lightly." Several elders stepped forward quickly and said.

The lady glanced at them with a mocking look and said, "Of course I know this matter is very serious. Don't worry, I will handle it."
