As soon as the night wind loosened its grip, the lynx immediately snatched up a baby lynx and fled far away.

The other lynx cubs let out soft cries and chased after the adult lynx.

Seeing this, Luo Qingling smiled with satisfaction.

She suddenly felt a pang of envy for Ye Feng's healing methods, so she asked, "Young Master Feng, can I become a martial artist? I also want to be an alchemist like you, with the ability to heal the sick and save lives."

"That's not easy."

Ye Feng shook his head before continuing, "Although you have the talent to become a martial artist, your talent isn't particularly good, and you've already missed your prime age. Becoming a martial artist again won't be so easy."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingling immediately looked disappointed.

"But it's not like there's no way at all. If there are suitable medicinal herbs to help you temper your body, I'll lend you a hand, but that depends on fate," Ye Feng added.

"Then I'll say thank you in advance," Luo Qingling said with a smile.

Luo Qingling knew that Ye Feng's words meant he had agreed, and he would definitely find a way to help her become a martial artist in the future.

After spending so much time together, Luo Qingling had gained a more comprehensive and profound understanding of Ye Feng's temperament. She knew that even if Ye Feng only said something casually, he would definitely do it.

At the same time, near the convoy.

Sun Gang and his twenty-odd guards sat around the campfire, roasting meat and bragging, all beaming with excitement.

"In two more days, this mission will be completed, and we can finally relax!"

"I've heard that the brothels in Zhonghao City are much better than those in our Nanyue City, and the girls there are all very beautiful!"

"Haha, I knew you liked this kind of thing."

"Let's go together! We'll all go!"

"We must let the girls of Zhonghao City know just how mighty and strong the men of Nanyue City are!"

Seeing that the group was getting more and more rambling, Sun Gang quickly reminded them, "Alright, that's enough. The master and young lady aren't far from here, so don't let them hear your vulgar language."

Hearing Sun Gang say that, the guards finally calmed down a lot.

Suddenly, one of the guards said, "Can you smell it? It seems to have a faint fragrance."

"I can smell it too."

"Me too!"

"I was wondering what this smell was, and now I realize you all smelled it too."

"Strange, the taste seems to have gotten stronger."

As they spoke, one guard after another fell to the ground, unable to move at all.

In just a short while, everyone except Sun Gang collapsed to the ground, unable to get up!

Sun Gang's expression changed drastically. He stood up abruptly and shouted, "Master, Miss, there's an assassin..."

Although he didn't see any trace of the assassin, Sun Gang knew that there definitely was one.

Poisoning someone before taking action—isn't that a common tactic of assassins?

Inside the carriage, Gu Weiyun and Gu Lingxuan's expressions changed drastically, and Chun Tao was also frightened and turned pale.

"Let's go down and take a look!"

Gu Lingxuan said to Chuntao and then prepared to leave the carriage.

Gu Weiyun quickly stopped him: "Sun Gang has already said there are assassins, what are you going down there for? To die?"

"Father, if Sun Gang and the others can't beat that assassin, what's the use of us hiding in the carriage?" Gu Lingxuan said quickly.

Gu Weiyun was speechless.

Gu Lingxuan pushed Gu Weiyun's hand away and pulled Chun Tao out of the carriage together.

As soon as Gu Lingxuan got out of the car, she saw Sun Gang kneeling on one knee, breathing heavily.

"Sun Gang, are you alright?"

Gu Lingxuan shouted and ran towards Sun Gang.

At that moment, two figures fell from the sky together.

It was Gu Weizhen and Zhao Qishan!

Upon seeing Gu Weizhen and Zhao Qishan, Gu Lingxuan immediately understood what was going on.

Zhao Qishan is a notorious poison master in Nanyue City. He must have poisoned Sun Gang and the other guards!

"Miss, watch out!"

Sun Gang, panting heavily, got up from the ground and stood protectively in front of Gu Lingxuan with his long sword in hand.

Hearing the noise, Gu Weiyun finally got off the carriage.

Seeing his own younger brother, Gu Wei was furious to the extreme.

"It really was you! Weizhen, you're such a good brother to me!"

Gu Wei said excitedly, but dared not step forward.

He knew that his younger brother, Gu Weizhen, was a martial artist of considerable strength, and that Zhao Qishan, standing next to Gu Weizhen, was a notorious poison master in Nanyue City, feared by countless people.

Approaching rashly will absolutely result in certain death!

Gu Weizhen looked coldly at Gu Weiyun and said, "Brother, I've come to send you and your niece on your way."

You have no conscience!

Gu Weiyun pointed at Gu Weizhen's nose and shouted, "I've treated you well. I provided you with all the money and resources you needed to learn martial arts, but you actually..."

Gu Weiyun was interrupted coldly by Gu Weizhen before he could finish speaking.

"Enough with this nonsense. From the day you became the head of the family, it was already destined that you would die by my hand."

Gu Weizhen said coldly, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

Then Gu Weizhen looked at Zhao Qishan and said, "It's time to make a move, Master Zhao."

Zhao Qishan stared at the beautiful Gu Lingxuan and chuckled: "It would be a little hard for me to poison this beauty with my own hands."

“It’s alright, you can poison the others first, and as for Gu Lingxuan, you can turn her into a flesh puppet, then you can enjoy her as you please,” Gu Weizhen said without any politeness.

Upon hearing the words "flesh puppet," Gu Lingxuan paled, her face turning ashen.

Flesh puppets are actually made by turning living people into puppets through special means.

In this way, living people would lose their intelligence and become mindless, living dead who could only obey the orders of others.

This method is extremely evil and goes against the natural order.

Gu Weizhen is clearly Gu Lingxuan's second uncle, yet he has been able to be so ruthless. How could this not make Gu Lingxuan feel desperate and angry?

However, Zhao Qishan was very satisfied with Gu Weizhen's suggestion.

"Excellent, excellent, this is a good idea. As long as we turn this girl into a flesh puppet, she will become my complete plaything. I can make her do whatever I want, and I can make her pose however I want her to..."

Before Zhao Qishan could finish speaking, the guard captain, Sun Gang, let out a furious roar and charged towards Gu Weizhen and Zhao Qishan with his long sword.

However, Gu Weizhen didn't even glance at Sun Gang, while Zhao Qishan sneered, "A mere guard captain dares to be so insolent in front of me? He's just a martial artist at the Separation and Union Realm, and he's even been poisoned by me. How much of his strength can he muster now?"

Sun Gang was poisoned by Zhao Qishan and couldn't even unleash one-tenth of his strength.
