Aya, Dapu, and Yuan Hong also heard the commotion and came over.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Aya asked, somewhat puzzled.

Although Su Ruojin was her junior sister in terms of the order of entry into the sect, Aya dared not actually call Su Ruojin her junior sister, and still called her Princess.

Seeing Aya come over, Su Ruojin's eyes lit up. She pulled Aya over, picked up the book she had just read, and handed it to Aya, saying, "Aya, look at this."

Su Ruojin never considered herself superior. Although she had inherited the Star Gu Pavilion's legacy, her study time was far less than Aya's, and she often consulted Aya on some issues.

Aya is from the Star Gu Pavilion, so there's no problem with her looking at the books Su Ruojin took out of the library.

The book states: "There is a type of Gu that likes to hide among flowers and plants. It can be lured out and eliminated by mixing animal blood with raw meat. Black dog blood is the best."

"Does Your Highness believe there are Gu worms in this Spirit Orchid?" Aya understood Su Ruojin's meaning.

Su Ruojin nodded and looked at Ling Zilan. "I always felt that Gao Hongyuan wasn't that kind-hearted, giving me such a spiritual herb as soon as he arrived."

Moreover, so much had happened between her and Gao Hongyuan. Besides casting a curse on Yuening, she also destroyed the place where Gao Hongyuan practiced human curses, even though Gao Hongyuan didn't show any reaction on the surface.

But he couldn't possibly be unaware of this, and given Gao Hongyuan's character, it's impossible that he didn't harbor resentment towards them.

But now, after verification, it has been proven that there are indeed no Gu worms in this flower.

Perhaps there was nothing wrong with the flowers; Gao Hongyuan simply sent them over to mislead me.

Aya thought for a moment, then turned to Hu Qing and said, "Brother Hu Qing, could you please give me a piece of fresh chicken, without any dog ​​blood on it?"

Hu Qing didn't dare let Aya call him that. As a princess, he was not worthy of it. But Aya insisted, so he gave up.

Hu Qing quickly brought back the chicken, and Aya said to Dap, "Dap, let me use the dagger."

Without saying a word, Dap handed his dagger to Aya. Aya took the dagger and, before anyone could react, used it to cut her finger.

Fresh blood dripped onto the chicken.

Once the chicken was stained with blood, Aya withdrew her finger and said to Su Ruojin, "Your Highness, try again."

Seeing Aya's actions, Su Ruojin understood what Aya meant.

She picked up the piece of chicken again, circled it around Ling Zilan, and placed it on the kitten in the same way.

In less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, everyone saw a small golden flower on the petals of the Spirit Purple Orchid move, and then a transparent insect the size of a grain of rice crawled out from the flower's stamen.

If it weren't for the fact that several people were intently watching the flower, and that the insect itself was transparent and could be easily concealed, no one would have noticed its existence at all.

Afraid of startling the insects, everyone instinctively held their breath.

The insect slowly crawled out of the flower's center, shed a petal, and crawled towards the kitten.

Despite its small size, it was incredibly fast, reaching the kitten in just two breaths.

At that very moment, Su Ruojin shot out the silver needle she had been holding, which then embedded itself in the insect.

The insect was pinned down and kept shaking its body before finally stopping after a while.

Su Ruojin picked up the silver needle and looked at the insect on it. "Aya, do you know what kind of Gu this is?"

Aya looked at it carefully, then shook her head. "I've never seen it before."

"Then how do you know that human blood is needed to activate the Gu poison?"

“I remember my master once told me that some Gu worms are very rare. The rarer they are, the more difficult they are to raise. Most of the time, Gu worms that are difficult to raise need to be nourished with human blood, so I thought I’d give it a try,” Aya answered truthfully.

"Hmm, that makes sense, but what kind of Gu is this?"

Gao Hongyuan was indeed going to use Ling Zilan to cast a Gu poison on her, but the Gu he used was extraordinary; he really thought highly of her.

After thinking for a moment, Su Ruojin handed several books on Gu poison to Aya, "Aya, let's investigate together."

When Aya saw these books on Gu poison, she quickly waved her hand, "Your Highness, only the past and present leaders of the Star Gu Pavilion can read these books. I cannot read them."

Su Ruojin shoved the book into Aya's arms. "I am now the leader of the Star Gu Pavilion. I have the final say in everything within the pavilion. If I say you can read it, you can read it. Besides, they've come to harm you right in front of your leader. Shouldn't you step forward to investigate and protect your leader?"
