Here, after successfully using Yaoyue as a shield, Qu Feiyan squatted down and pulled down Wanwan's hat, revealing Wanwan's true face.

Her originally pretty and charming face, now pale and with traces of blood at the corner of her mouth, made Wanwan look even more pitiful.

As Qu Feiyan was sizing up Wanwan, Shuimu Yinji said, "With such cultivation, appearance, and bare feet, looking across the martial world, she seems to be Wanwan from the Yin Kui Sect of the Great Tang Dynasty."

Hearing what the Water Mother Yin Ji said, Chu Qinghe nodded slightly and said, "That should be it."

As he spoke, Chu Qinghe rubbed his temples with his fingertips.

When Chu Qinghe first discovered Wanwan's identity, his immediate thought was whether the Bad People were up to something again.

But little did they expect that they had absolutely no connection with the Bad Guys.

Beside her, Qu Feiyan, who was squatting next to Wanwan, said in astonishment, "This guy came all the way from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty just for something like a storybook? Is it really worth it?"

Chu Qinghe did not respond to this.

Just as Qu Feiyan said, it was indeed a bit of an overreaction for her to travel all the way from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty just because she didn't like reading a storybook!

As the Holy Maiden of the Yin Gui Sect, she shouldn't be so idle!

Thinking it over, Chu Qinghe asked, "Where did you take the manuscript of the storybook I took to be printed?"

Qu Feiyan replied, "Inside the Tangji Bookstore in the city, and to avoid disturbing you, young master, the Tangji Bookstore is guarded by disciples of the Yihua Palace and people from the Sun Moon Divine Sect."

Hearing Qu Feiyan's words, Chu Qinghe glanced at her sideways and said, "So, all those manuscripts in your room are secondhand copies made by people from Tangji Bookstore?"

Qu Feiyan shook her head and said, "How could that be? It's third-hand."

Chu Qinghe looked at Qu Feiyan with suspicion and asked, "Third-handed?"

Qu Feiyan said, "At first, every time the manuscript was brought into the bookstore, the original manuscript would be brought to Sister Yue by the people from Yihua Palace."

"Later, when Sister Dongfang found out, she arranged for someone skilled in calligraphy to secretly copy and imitate the manuscript during the printing process at Tangji Bookstore. Then, she switched the manuscript and gave the copied manuscript to a disciple of Yihua Palace to take away!"

"So they're not secondhand, they're all thirdhand."

Listening to what Qu Feiyan said, not only Chu Qinghe, but even Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin had strange expressions.

During this time, the two women would take out the stories Chu Qinghe had written in the past and read them whenever they had free time, without noticing anything amiss.

If Qu Feiyan hadn't brought it up today, neither of them would have known that they had been reading third-hand manuscripts all this time.

However, Xiao Zhao did not notice Qu Feiyan and Lin Shiyin at this time.

When Qu Feiyan mentioned "three hands," the smile on the face of Shuimu Yinji, who was standing next to Chu Qinghe, became even sweeter.

Even the eyes of Jellyfish Yin Ji curved into crescent moons, making her look even sweeter, while also making it difficult for people to see the cunning that flashed in Jellyfish Yin Ji's eyes and the smugness of a fisherman who benefits from the fight between the snipe and the clam!

Beside him, after understanding what Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue had done, Chu Qinghe rolled his eyes.

However, my thoughts returned to the main topic.

"In other words, this Wanwan had been to Tangji Bookstore before."

Qu Feiyan asked in confusion, "Since she was able to find our place, Wanwan must have been to Tang's Bookstore too!"

Seeing that Qu Feiyan didn't understand, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "I just adjusted the poison in the courtyard. Now the poison in the courtyard only seals her power the moment she circulates her true qi. However, she has other poisons and injuries on her body. The combination of these poisons with the poison in my courtyard caused the toxicity to change. In addition, her injuries triggered it, which is why she fainted directly."

The jellyfish-like Yin Ji spoke up, "So, she was poisoned and seriously injured before?"

Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "That's right!"

At this point, not only Chu Qinghe and his group, but even Lin Shiyin sensed that something was wrong.

"He was seriously injured and poisoned, but instead of treating the poison and his wounds, he went to investigate this storybook. Is it a coincidence or intentional?"

If Wanwan had come in normal condition this time, Chu Qinghe could have assumed that she had genuinely been provoked by his storybook.

Qu Feiyan asked, "So, young master, are you worried that Wanwan is a member of the Bad People?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "It's possible, but we can't be sure yet."

Then, Qu Feiyan pointed to Wanwan on the ground and asked, "What should we do with her now?"

After thinking for a moment, Chu Qinghe said, "Let's try to cure the poison first!"

They are, after all, my readers. The reason they came to me was because Qu Feiyan and Yaoyue had leaked my storybook.

To be able to make a special trip to visit someone means they're a die-hard fan.

Although it's a mix of pink and black.

But surely it wouldn't warrant killing the reader outright?

Moreover, Wanwan's appearance might not be a bad thing for Chu Qinghe.

As he spoke, Chu Qinghe stood up and walked to Wanwan.

As he raised his hand, a surge of energy condensed and caused Wanwan, who was lying on the ground, to lift one of her hands, which was then pinched by Chu Qinghe's fingers.

After taking Wanwan's pulse, Chu Qinghe gestured to Xiao Zhao.

After Xiao Zhao brought over a bowl of water, Chu Qinghe used his true energy to draw out a stream of water that flowed into his palm.

Before the girls' eyes, as the stream of water flowed in Chu Qinghe's palm, its color rapidly turned into a vermilion hue.
