Seeing this, Qingge was about to rush forward to check, but Li Jin stopped her, saying, "Don't rush!"

Li Jin slowly took out a delicate little box from his pocket, opened it and found a medicinal herb that resembled a snow lotus inside.

Under Qingge's astonished gaze, flames suddenly erupted from Li Jin's palm, and the lotus flower rapidly melted in his hand, quickly turning into a pool of blue liquid.

Li Jin carefully dripped it onto Gu Liyan's wound, and it healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. She then fed the last few drops of liquid to Gu Liyan.

After doing all this, Li Jin said to Qing Ge, "Alright, lay him down flat."

Qingge gently laid Gu Liyan down and watched as his breathing became calm and his complexion gradually regained its rosy hue. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“Princess Qingge, as you have seen, Gu Liyan is alright. I think he will wake up tomorrow.” Li Jin squinted at Qingge and said, “You see… we made a promise. I hope Your Highness Qingge will keep it.”

Qingge raised her head, looked at Li Jin, and coldly snorted, "No need to remind me! I will naturally do what I promised you!"

Li Jin laughed heartily, "Then, I'll wait for Your Highness in bed!" With that, he left with a smile.

Watching Li Jin's retreating figure, Qing Ge narrowed her eyes, seemingly having made up her mind. She turned around and looked at Gu Liyan with a bitter smile, "Xiao Li, wait for me a moment... I'll be right back to keep you company."

Just as Qingge left the room, the window was suddenly blown open by the wind, and Mo Chen's figure appeared inside.

Approaching Gu Liyan, he took out a pill from his pocket and stuffed it directly into Gu Liyan's mouth.

It melted in his mouth. Gu Liyan's eyes flickered slightly as he slowly opened them. Seeing that the person in front of him was Mo Chen, his expression darkened. He frowned slightly and said, "You can't be too careful. It seems that this time we were right to be on guard!"

"Fortunately, you sensed it beforehand and sent me back to the Nine Springs Realm to bring back the Reincarnation Pill. Now your strength has returned to its peak, right?" Mo Chen said with a smile.

Gu Liyan sat up, sensing the energy fluctuations within his body. A slight smile appeared on his lips. "That guy Li Jin is really generous. He actually used the only Spirit Gathering Grass in the world to heal my injuries. Look, Qingge must have made a great sacrifice for me."

"You've done so much for her, it's only right that she does the same for you, isn't it?" Mo Chen said with a smile.

"Alright, enough nonsense. Qingge made a promise with him, and I'm worried something might happen. Let's go check it out together!"

Mo Chen nodded, and the two of them flashed and arrived at the Imperial Physician's Hall in the blink of an eye. Just as Mo Chen was about to go in, Gu Liyan stopped him...

Qingge looked coldly at Li Jin, and the two of them were actually keeping their distance from each other at this moment.

Li Jin said awkwardly, "Princess Qingge, are you planning to sit here and watch me all night?"

Qingge smiled slightly, "I suddenly remembered that I promised you I would only spend one night with you, but I didn't say anything about having any kind of relationship with you!"

"You..." Li Jin didn't expect Qingge to turn her back on her promise so quickly, threatening, "Aren't you afraid I poisoned Gu Liyan?!"

"Hmph, don't think I don't know. Li Erniang has been protecting Gu Liyan from the very beginning, so you won't lay a hand on him." Qingge smiled confidently. "Besides, I guarantee that if you have any designs on me, Gu Liyan will definitely trace it back to you! At that time, you and Li Erniang will both pay the price!"

Having his thoughts seen through by Qingge, Li Jin slammed his fist on the table in a fit of rage and said, "Do you think I wouldn't dare?"

Qingge was startled, and seeing Li Jin's imposing manner, she didn't dare to say anything.

However, just then, the door was kicked open, and a familiar voice came from inside: "Then I'll see who dares to lend you the guts!"

Qingge's eyes lit up, and she looked in the direction of the sound. She saw Gu Liyan and Mo Chen walk in, and she ran up to them in surprise, hugging Gu Liyan tightly. "Little Li! Are you alright?"

Gu Liyan patted Qingge's head. "Silly girl, didn't I tell you? I'll be fine!"

Li Jin stared at Gu Liyan in astonishment. "No, that's impossible! How did you recover so quickly?"

Gu Liyan sneered, "You're really disappointed that I recovered so quickly!"

Mo Chen, standing to the side, narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the screen behind Li Jin with a playful expression, "Still hiding? What's the use of hiding now, General Yang!"

Yang Wei's expression changed, and he stepped out from behind the screen, now standing behind Li Jin.

Qingge was furious when she saw Yang Wei. "Yang Wei? You're still alive!" She turned and pointed at Li Jin, cursing, "Damn it, you lied to me!"

Li Jin's face was gloomy. Before she could change the terms, Gu Liyan had already caught her in her true form. Now she was in a desperate situation!

“Originally, I was going to let it go because of Li Erniang, but you actually conspired with Yang Wei to deceive Qingqing, which is unforgivable!” Gu Liyan said coldly.

"Gu Liyan! Don't forget, I'm the one who saved you! As the Punisher, do you want to be accused of repaying kindness with enmity?" Li Jin said viciously.

Gu Liyan squinted at Li Jin. "You know my identity? It shouldn't have been Li Erniang who told you, right?"

Li Jin's heart tightened. He had just seen Gu Liyan's murderous intent towards him and had spoken out of the blue. Now he was completely out of options!

Seeing that Li Jin remained silent, Gu Liyan coldly demanded, "Answer me! Who exactly are you!"

Li Jin swallowed hard, but dared not speak.

Mo Chen squinted at Li Jin, then suddenly realized something. "Oh! I know who you are! I've heard there's a Soul Hunter who, although not very strong, is a renowned physician in every small world because he collects rare elixirs and medicinal herbs. He only turns the tables and eliminates the Punisher when the mission ends. He's a guy who likes to endure! His name seems to be..."
