"Heart-eating poison? Second Master, what is this? Is there a solution?" Witchcraft, such an evil thing, is beyond Han Yichen's ability.

"Looking at the method used to administer the Gu, it must have been the work of Ran Qiyue, the Imperial Preceptor of Zhaoyang State. This is a sinister witchcraft technique that uses the mother Gu to control the offspring, thereby controlling the victim. Once the poison takes effect, the victim will experience a pain that feels like a drill drilling into their heart and bones. It is extremely vicious."

"The Imperial Master of Zhaoyang Kingdom?"

Mu Lige's eyes widened slightly upon hearing this, and he stared at Yu Xiaotian lying on the bed in disbelief. How could his frail fourth brother be bewitched by Ran Qiyue, who was thousands of miles away? He had never imagined that the self-proclaimed Taoist master could secretly practice such unorthodox and insidious witchcraft.

Mu Lige looked at Yu Xiaotian with a look of scrutiny. He feared his fourth brother was no ordinary person. Otherwise, how could he not have noticed anything after spending over a year together? Was he simply too slow, or was his fourth brother's cunning and cunningness hidden so well?

"Second Elder, do you know how to cure this heart-eating poison?" Suppressing the shock in his heart, Mu Lige asked Xuanming worriedly.

"There are two methods. One is for the person who poisoned the young man to use the mother poison to induce the child poison, and then the young man will be fine. The other is..." Xuanming narrowed his eyes slightly, looking embarrassed.

"Second Master, what is the other method?"

After all, the first one is impossible just by thinking about it, and Han Yichen also wants to know how to solve it.

"Another method is to use a thousand-year-old ice toad to suck out the sub-Gu, but in this way... the ice toad will die. It's true that Master has two ice toads, but one has been given to the Soft Rice King, and the other is still in Xuanyi Valley."

"Second Master, if there is no intervention, how long can Fourth Brother hold out?"

"It depends on the mood of the person holding the mother Gu. If he is in a bad mood and uses the mother Gu to control the child Gu day and night, then this young man will have to endure the excruciating pain." Xuanming looked towards the direction of Zhaoyang Kingdom with a complicated mood.

"Third brother, how long does it take to get to Xuanyi Valley from here?"

"Given Fourth Brother's condition, it would take two days by carriage."

"Okay. It takes four to five days to go back and forth from the capital. Every day of delay means another day of suffering for Fourth Brother. Your plan to go to the capital remains unchanged, but Third Brother will be taken to Xuanyi Valley by me and the Second Elder. Zuo An will stay behind to protect Mother and Father."

"But, brother, you are almost four months pregnant now..."

"Isn't your second master here? Don't worry."

…

"Hey, stop it! You two little rascals, I don't think I promised you anything, did I?"

Seeing that the doctor of the Hua family did not treat him as an outsider at all and had already arranged everything for him with his disciples, Xuanming could not help but get angry.
