Old Fu pointed at Jiang Bai and told her to go into that strange room. Jiang Bai looked at the room and felt something was off about it.

Seeing that her expression was off, Zhao Yi said, "I'll go with her."

His suggestion was rejected by Old Master Fu: "No, she must go in by herself."

Zhao Yi was a little anxious: "Why? She just fell ill yesterday, and I'm worried that she won't be able to take good care of herself."

Old Fu snorted coldly: "This is her own fate. She has to overcome her own life-or-death challenges on her own. Following her will not benefit her at all, and may even harm her."

Life has many paths, but not all of them can be walked together; there are always some paths you have to bear alone.

Jiang Bai comforted him, saying, "You can trust me. Just wait outside."

Zhao Yi had no choice but to watch Jiang Bai enter that strange room.

Jiang Bai entered the room and found a completely black screen by the door. She didn't know what it was. At that moment, the door behind her was closed by Old Master Fu.

She then walked around the screen and went inside.

This glance startled even the usually composed her.

This is a small courtyard, which is crawling with poisonous flowers, plants, and insects.

The poisonous flowers were in full bloom, and the poisonous weeds covered all four walls, their stems covered with long thorns.

And those poisonous insects crawling everywhere, as soon as they saw her come in, they all swarmed around her.

Jiang Bai was shocked. These things were probably quite poisonous; even if one was bitten, he would be half-dead.

Now that so many people have gathered around, is Old Master Fu trying to poison her?

As she hesitated whether to intervene, Old Master Fu spoke up from outside: "If you want to be cured, stay inside obediently and don't have any improper thoughts."

Jiang Bai paused, and a poisonous insect bit her calf.

Her face turned deathly pale instantly; the bites of these poisonous insects were far more painful than those of ordinary insects.

She wanted to shake it off, but after hearing what Old Fu said, she dared not make any rash moves.

Well, I'll die anyway, whether I die from poisoning or from being bitten by poisonous insects. What if this really is the way to detoxify?

Using poison to fight poison is also a method of detoxification.

She stopped resisting and let those things bite her.

She was in so much pain that she fell to the ground and rolled around several times.

But the ground was covered with thorny poisonous flowers and plants, which made her even more poisoned and more painful.

Black blood was oozing from the insect bites, indicating that her entire body was covered in poison.

She nearly fainted from the pain several times, but she couldn't.

Because Old Master Fu was calling out from outside again: "The medicine can only be most effective when the patient is awake."

She could only grit her teeth and persevere.

Zhao Yi is still waiting for her outside; she wants to get back alive!

Time passed slowly, and Jiang Bai could no longer feel the passage of time.

She gritted her teeth and persevered, while Zhao Yi outside felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He didn't know what Jiang Bai had gone through inside, but he felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped by a large hand, and he was extremely uncomfortable.

Jiang Bai had been holding on for almost a whole day until evening, but in the end, even with her lips bleeding from biting them, she still couldn't make it through.

When she woke up again, it was the next day, and Zhao Yi was still taking care of her.

Old Fu prescribed her medicine and gave her some special instructions.

Jiang Bai thought for a moment and added some spiritual liquid to the medicine so that she would recover even faster.

Old Master Fu kindly took the two in for a while, until Jiang Bai was almost fully recovered, before he told Zhao Yi where to find the other half of the poison.

"The reason this poison is so special is because the Witch Clan was involved. If you want to cure this poison, you will have to go to the Witch Clan."

Zhao Yi frowned. He had heard of the Witch Clan before; their witchcraft was bizarre, and they were masters of poison, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

"Thank you for saving me, Elder Fu."

"No need, but are you really not going to tell her that there's still half poison left? She's definitely going with the witch clan, you can't hide it from her."

Old Fu stroked his beard, a hint of schadenfreude in his expression.

Zhao Yi pursed his lips and remained silent. He knew he couldn't hide it like this, but he couldn't bear to tell her that the poison could only be cured halfway. Now that she was seeing herself fully recovered, she couldn't be happier. How could he tell her that and hurt her feelings?

He smiled helplessly: "There's nothing I can do, I can't tell. I'll just keep it a secret for as long as I can."

Old Fu turned around and snorted: "A dignified man, yet so audacious."

After he finished speaking, he went inside.

Zhao Yi was baffled by his disdain and didn't know what he meant.

Following him into the house, I heard him talking to Jiang Bai: "Your poison is half cured, but the other half needs to be cured by the Witch Clan. This is a brocade pouch I made. When you arrive at the Witch Clan, if you encounter any problems, just open this pouch and it will solve them."

Zhao Yi was shocked: "Old Fu! How could you do this!"

Old Fu glanced at him and said earnestly, "Young people are still too young. You always consider each other's feelings, hiding this and that, and trying to take the blame for each other in everything, but you don't realize that you are hurting each other. True growth is a two-way street. Instead of always considering each other's feelings, you should think more about how to weather the storms together. That is how you help each other and benefit each other. Don't keep things to yourself, or it will easily turn into misunderstandings."

After he finished speaking, he stopped looking at the two of them and left the house.

Zhao Yi and Jiang Bai were left staring at each other in bewilderment.

They were both a little embarrassed, after all, they had been lectured in front of each other.

Jiang Bai broke the awkward silence first: "I know about this. You didn't do anything wrong, so it's normal that you didn't tell me. If it were me, I might not have the heart to tell you either. That old man is very stubborn, so there's no need to listen to him."

Zhao Yi shook his head: "What he said is not entirely correct, but it is not without reason. It is better to be frank about some things."

After they finished speaking, their eyes met, and they both understood each other's meaning, so there was no need to say anything more.

The next day, Zhao Yi and Jiang Bai bid farewell to Elder Fu and prepared to head to the Witch Clan.

The location of the Wu tribe is remote and difficult to find; it may take some effort.

They traveled towards the border and saw many refugees who had left their homes along the way.

It seems things aren't very stable here; there's a lot of trouble.

When they arrived at their destination, Jiang Bai realized that this was the frontier, and that Amu and Ayina were here. He wondered how things were going for them.

She didn't intend to go looking for them; after all, the Witch Clan was dangerous, and there was no need to cause them unnecessary trouble.

As they talked, the two drove the carriage into the city. However, the city gate was heavily guarded, so their movements were slow.

When they arrived at the entrance, Zhao Yi got out of the car for inspection, leaving Jiang Bai inside.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the side.

"Zhao Yi? What are you doing here? Where's Jiang Bai?"

The voice was familiar to Jiang Bai. After hearing it, she lifted the curtain and, sure enough, there were two familiar faces standing outside.

I had just remembered Cao Cao when he arrived.
