"I'm telling you to go back now!" Huo Qianshan suddenly roared in anger, his eyes bloodshot as he stared intently into Huo Ling's eyes. "Go pack your things. I don't want to say it a third time."

Huo Ling paused, then lowered his head: "Then should I go and inform Xiao Yuan?"

Huo Qianshan fell silent again.

After a long pause, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "Go back by yourself."

——

Teacher, what happened?

Back at the villa in Chonghua Community, Jiang Wuyuan finally had the chance to ask the sword spirit about what had just happened.

"The wine is poisoned." The sword spirit's voice rang out softly. "That's an extremely rare technique. You really need to see more of it in the future, so you won't be caught poisoning your food without even realizing it!"

Judging from the sword spirit's voice, it seemed to be somewhat angry.

Jiang Wuyuan responded seriously to the sword spirit's words telling him to study hard, hoping to calm the sword spirit down, and then his thoughts shifted.

Gu poison?

It sounds familiar.

Jiang Wuyuan recalled for a while and finally found the origin of the word in his previous memories.

That night, after meeting Night Owl's Holy Son, Ruan Kongyin told him about Zhan Buhui's investigation, and mentioned the term "Gu worm".

It is said to be a means of manipulating people's behavior and thoughts—of course, this is only one type of Gu worm.

Jiang Wuyuan's expression immediately darkened.

The reason he didn't speak up to warn Huo Qianshan and his son was because he had also noticed something unusual about Huo Qianshan.

And now, with the memories resurfacing, Jiang Wuyuan's bad premonition has become even stronger.

Night Owl? The Huo family?

Is there really some connection?

Thinking of Huo Qianshan, whose affection for him seemed genuine, Jiang Wuyuan unconsciously clenched his fists.

If it's true, what should he do?
