At this moment, the fine black lines on Xu Yueling's skin began to twist wildly, as if they had been subjected to a tremendous stimulus!

While unconscious, Xu Yueling's face showed deep pain, and she even let out a series of shrill screams.

However, she was now completely suppressed by the night wind's true energy and lay on the bed unable to move!

However, as time went on, the black lines on Xu Yueling's skin began to shrink and converge, and the center of the shrinkage and convergence was Ye Feng's right hand, which was pressed below Xu Yueling's chest!

About five minutes later, the fine black lines on Xu Yueling's skin completely disappeared.

As Ye Feng raised his hand, a small black ball appeared in his right hand!

"Miss Xu is alright now," Ye Feng said with a smile.

Xu Taiping jogged over, helped Xu Yueling get dressed, and called out, "Yueling, Yueling, wake up!"

Xu Yueling slowly opened her eyes, and color gradually returned to her face.

"Dad, what's wrong with me?" Xu Yueling asked.

"After lunch today, you suddenly fainted, and... luckily your Uncle Huang invited this Mr. Ye, and it was he who woke you up!" Xu Taiping said excitedly.

"Is that so... Thank you, Mr. Ye."

Xu Yueling turned her head to look at Ye Feng, her expression full of gratitude.

Xu Tai'an and Xu Yuechen exchanged a glance, and then Xu Tai'an said, "I didn't expect this Mr. Ye to be so capable, actually curing Lingling's strange illness. In that case, there's nothing more for us to do here, so we'll take our leave for now."

After saying that, Xu Tai'an and Xu Yuechen walked towards the door together.

But at that moment, Ye Feng shouted, "Stop!"

Xu Tai'an and Xu Yuechen did not stop, but continued walking towards the door, their pace even quickening considerably.

Xu Taiping immediately realized something was wrong and ordered, "Stop them!"

The bodyguards at the door immediately blocked Xu Tai'an and Xu Yuechen's path, stopping them.

"Brother, what do you mean by this?" Xu Tai'an turned around and looked at Xu Taiping with dissatisfaction.

Xu Taiping said, "Didn't you hear Mr. Ye tell you to stop?"

"Brother, I have something urgent to attend to," Xu Tai'an said.

“Even if something terrible has happened, if Mr. Ye hasn’t told you to leave, then you can’t leave here!” Xu Taiping said emphatically.

Huang Haotian also sensed something and looked at Ye Feng with a smile, asking, "Mr. Ye, is there a problem?"

"Miss Xu isn't sick at all; she's been poisoned by a Gu worm. Look, these are the Gu worms I forcibly removed from Miss Xu's body!"

Night Breeze tossed the small black ball in his hand onto the floor.

With a loud crack, the black ball shattered into pieces.

Huang Haotian and Xu Taiping took a closer look and discovered that it wasn't broken, but rather scattered!

It turned out that the small black ball was made up of dozens or even hundreds of long, thin, black insects.

At this moment, these insects were wriggling on the floor and crawling everywhere, making everyone present feel their scalp tingle!

Xu Yueling, who was on the bed, was so frightened that she let out a scream.

The thought that so many worms had been taken from her own body made Xu Yueling feel a tightness in her chest, and she almost fainted!

"Mr. Ye, are these all Gu worms?" Huang Haotian asked in shock.

"That's right, they are all Gu worms, and they are the same kind of Gu worm, called Bloodthirsty Black Thread Gu."

"Once the eggs of this type of worm enter the human body and come into contact with blood, they hatch immediately and grow rapidly. At first, they only parasitize the subcutaneous layer of the skin, but over time, they move towards the internal organs, eventually reaching the heart!"

"But once they get into the heart, there's no hope. Even I might not be able to save them."

Night Breeze explained slowly and deliberately.

Huang Haotian and Xu Taiping both looked extremely indignant, wishing they could tear the person who cast the curse to pieces!

"Who on earth cast a curse on my daughter? It's an unforgivable crime!" Xu Taiping roared.

"Why don't you send someone to investigate? Although the Bloodthirsty Black Thread Gu is very dangerous, its eggs are difficult to preserve. Perhaps the person who cast the Gu still has some unused eggs left?" Ye Feng reminded him.

After a pause, Ye Feng continued, "Master Xu, your daughter suddenly fainted after lunch today, which means the person who cast the curse is not an outsider; he is right here in your Xu family compound. Now that things have come to this, I don't need to say anything more, do I?"

"Alright, I'll send someone to investigate right away!" Xu Taiping said emphatically.

Xu Taiping then summoned his steward and ordered, "Immediately send people to search the area, and bring me any suspicious items you find!"

"Yes, Master!"

The old butler hurried downstairs, leading a dozen bodyguards to search each room one by one.

At this moment, Xu Taiping and Xu Yuechen were already drenched in sweat!

"Xu Tai'an, why are you sweating so much? The room isn't even hot," Huang Haotian said.

"I'm just feeling a little unwell," Xu Tai'an said, his face pale, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace.

“Oh, then why don’t you let Mr. Ye examine you? Mr. Ye’s medical skills are unparalleled; he can definitely help you,” Huang Haotian added.

"No need, I'll be fine after a rest," Xu Tai'an waved his hand repeatedly.

Half an hour has passed.

The old butler came over carrying a glass bottle.

The bottle contained pale yellow water with many small black specks suspended in it, which looked like sesame seeds.

"Master, I've found this!" the old steward said.

Xu Taiping immediately looked at Ye Feng, but Ye Feng knew what was in the glass bottle without even looking.

“That’s right, those are the eggs of the Bloodthirsty Black Thread Gu,” Ye Feng said.

Xu Taiping flew into a rage and asked, "Where did you find this bottle?"

"It's in the second-in-command's room!" the butler replied without hesitation.

Xu Tai'an could no longer hold back. He knelt on the ground with a thud and cried out, "Big brother, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance..."

With things having developed to this point, how could the people present not understand that it was Xu Tai'an who had used a curse on Xu Yueling!

Perhaps Xu Yuechen was also involved in this incident!

"Why! Why is this happening! What has Yue Ling ever done to you! She's your own niece, why are you treating her like this!" Xu Taiping roared repeatedly, his eyes burning with fury.

Huang Haotian coldly said from the side, "Is there any need to ask? It's obviously because he's coveting the position of head of the Xu family! Taiping, you and Xu Tai'an each have a son. Your daughter Yueling is dead, so you will have to hand over the position of head of the family to his son Xu Yuechen in the future. So it's obvious!"
