"Um, I already know I was wrong to release the snakes for you yesterday," Mai Zizi stammered.
Su Jin raised an eyebrow. "Oh? You admit your mistake? Okay, I accept it."
Mai Zizi looked around, seemingly searching for something.
Su Jin said helplessly, "If you're alright, I'll be leaving."
"Hey? No!" Mai Zizi quickly pulled Su Jin down. "Wait a little longer."
"Huh?" Su Jin was full of questions. "What exactly do you want to do?"
Mai Zizi's eyes darted around, and suddenly she saw Shen Qianxue's figure appear at the corner of the garden.
"ah!"
Suddenly, Mai Zizi pulled Su Jin down to the railing by the bridge, then twisted her waist and fell off the bridge.
From behind, it looked as if Su Jin had pushed her down.
So fake!
Su Jin secretly complained, then quickly jumped in. Just before Mai Zizi entered the water, he grabbed her waist, lightly touched the surface of the lake with his toes, and spun around onto the white bridge.
Startled, Mai Zizi clung tightly to Su Jin. She remained stunned for a long time after landing, her face still showing signs of shock.
She never imagined that the feeling of weightlessness when she fell would be so terrifying.
Su Jinxia pulled Mai Zizi away with disgust, not forgetting to continue complaining, "There's everything in the lake, it's so dirty! You've been weak since childhood, aren't you afraid of getting sick!"
Mai Zizi hugged herself; she was a little scared.
A group of maids and servants quickly surrounded them, all somewhat bewildered by the current situation.
Shen Qianxue finally walked onto the bridge. Mai Zizi looked at him with a pitiful expression, unable to utter the full grievances and accusations she had prepared because she had failed to fall into the water.
Shen Qianxue glanced at Mai Zizi and scolded, "Who taught you this trick? It's clumsy!"
Mai Zizi pouted, covered her face, and ran away.
These past few days, I guess I've been too ashamed to show my face to anyone.
Su Jin shrugged and was about to leave as well.
Shen Qianxue gently took Su Jinxia's hand, "Since we're here, let's take a look around."
It seemed that neither of them had ever strolled through the garden.
Su Jinxia pulled her hand away and said indifferently, "I'm busy, you can look around by yourself."
Shen Qianxue...
If Mai Zizi keeps making a fuss every day, Su Jinxia will be angry with him every day.
Headache!
Su Jin came down to the pharmacy, where the servant was preparing to brew medicine for Lu Ming.
Su Jin naturally took the prescription from the servant and said softly, "I'll do it."
The servant laughed and let go, "The medicine the young lady brewed is amazing. Doctor Lu has been in particularly good spirits these past two days, and he doesn't cough all the time anymore."
Su Jin smiled, carefully prepared the medicine, and secretly kept some for herself as well.
After finishing brewing Lu Ming's medicine, Su Jin went to the large kitchen in the backyard to brew some for herself.
After a few tries, I got the hang of everything.
Su Jinxia drank the medicine with relish, poured out the dregs, washed the medicine pot, and then hurriedly returned to Tingyu Tower.
I wonder to what extent the power of the Gu Mother will be unleashed this time?
Su Jin sat cross-legged on the second floor, immersed in her sea of consciousness.
After the third detoxification, she was able to sense the location and movement of all the larvae.
After suffering a heavy loss last time, Nie Qingyi has been quiet lately, probably busy with internal struggles with Su Hu.
The disciples of the Liuli Society are all behaving normally.
That's good news, too.
What's so good about Su Jinxia?
Suddenly, a vague voice rang in Su Jinxia's mind.
Caught off guard, Su Jin was startled.
Really?
Su Jin was secretly surprised.
The ability to perceive what the Gu offspring say, hear, and see is the most powerful ability of the Glass Gu Mother. Su Jinxia had only seen it in books and had never experienced it in her previous life.
But she's only had her fourth detoxification, and she can already hear what Zi Gu is saying?
Isn't the progress a bit too fast?
Su Jin focused her mind and continued to sense, making sure she hadn't misheard.
Sure enough, the sound came again!
Am I not as good as her?
"Look at me, I'm prettier than her, and I understand men's hearts better than her..."
It was Nie Qingyi's voice, but it was intermittent, indistinct, and not very clear.
"Nie Qingyi, please have some self-respect!"
"Get out of my way!"
Is it Su Hu?
No way, what are those two doing?
Su Jin wanted to continue listening, but a sharp pain shot through her heart.
It is the Gu Mother giving a warning.
Although he could hear what Zi Gu was saying and hearing, it couldn't last long.
This ability is extremely taxing on the Gu Mother.
Su Jin withdrew her consciousness and savored the conversation she had just overheard, clicking her tongue twice.
Tiger, don't let me down and fall into Nie Qingyi's beauty trap.
Next door, in Shen Qianxue's study, Lu Ming rushed over.
"It's so late, why aren't you resting yet?"
Shen Qianxue gave Lu Ming a slightly reproachful look. Didn't any of them know their own situation?
Lu Ming smiled faintly, "You didn't sleep either."
"With your build, you dare to compare yourself to me? You're really something." Shen Qianxue belittled her mercilessly.
Lu Ming chuckled awkwardly, "Of course I can't compare to you, but I'm much better these past two days. Besides, shouldn't I report matters related to Su Jinxia to you promptly?"
When Su Jin was mentioned, Shen Qianxue became serious.
"What's wrong with her?"
Lu Ming took out a prescription and handed it to Shen Qianxue. "Ever since I discovered that she might be poisoned, I have been paying close attention to her actions and the changes in the medicinal materials. Sure enough, I found that she secretly brewed medicine for herself today. This is the prescription that I deduced from the dregs of the medicine."
Shen Qianxue looked at it, but couldn't understand it.
"And the conclusion?"
“This is indeed an antidote prescription. However, even though I consider myself very familiar with all kinds of poisons, I can’t find one that matches this prescription.” Lu Ming said helplessly, Su Jin’s actions had posed a huge challenge to his career.
"In any case, it's always a good thing that she has her own way of detoxifying herself." Shen Qianxue felt much more at ease.
Looking at Shen Qianxue's infatuated expression, Lu Ming sighed, "You! Aren't you even a little curious about who she really is? With your methods, you have plenty of ways to make her admit it."
"Do you think she can stay in Phoenix Pavilion if she admits it?" Shen Qianxue was naturally curious, but she didn't dare to make any rash moves.
Lu Ming fell silent. It was impossible to be sure, or rather, it was more likely that he couldn't stay. Even if he did stay, he wouldn't be able to convince the public, and Su Jin's situation would only become more difficult.
Lu Ming sighed, "Anyway, I don't care. No matter what her identity is, she's still my disciple!"
Isn't Shen Qianxue the same?
“She has her own plans. I believe she won’t harm Phoenix Pavilion and can protect herself. If I rashly intervene, it might ruin things or force her into a panic.” Shen Qianxue’s gaze was far-reaching; he had already thought it through.
Lu Ming nodded with satisfaction, "That girl's devotion to you was not in vain."
"Yeah?"
Shen Qianxue gritted her teeth; she'd been quite formidable lately.
If she doesn't come looking for me, fine, but when I go to her, she still acts all hostile and unreasonable!
Lu Ming shook his head and laughed helplessly; men who fall in love are truly unbearable to look at.
