For several days in a row, Li Lianhua and Li Lianxin enjoyed a carefree and happy time at Tianji Manor, while Hall Master He became visibly busy, practically invisible. The entire Tianji Manor was also bustling with activity.
Fang Duobing wanted to get to the bottom of things, so he spent the last few days following He Xiaohui around, trying to find out the truth.
That night, Li Lianxin, transformed into a little fox, lay on a soft couch, enjoying life. Her orange-red tail swayed leisurely in the air. No wonder Tianji Manor was so wealthy; they had a 24-hour uninterrupted supply of fruit.
They have everything they want to eat, but only that silly boy Fang Xiaobao would give up such a good life and insist on going to Baichuan Academy to suffer. There's no one else like him.
A cold wind blew into the room, followed by a figure entering. Coincidentally, the soft couch where the little fox was nestled was right by the window. "Awooo~!"
"You're pressing down on my tail!" The little fox used its paws to pull its tail out from under the cover, while still making a fuss.
Li Lianhua was sitting not far away. As soon as she heard the sound, she immediately got up and walked over quickly. She turned the person who had collapsed on the soft couch around, and a face that was all too familiar appeared. "Afei!"
After the little fox pulled out its tail, it jumped off the soft couch and transformed into human form. Looking around at the unconscious person, it said, "Ah Fei, you're badly injured."
[Hmm, it seems Jiao Liqiao's attempt to force him failed. But these injuries on his body... hmm, it must have been Jiao Liqiao's doing. With her crazy nature, she'd only allow herself to injure her own lord.]
"I'll leave. You deal with him first." After saying this, Li Lianxin walked out on her own without waiting for Li Lianhua's reply, and went to find a place to bask in the moonlight.
Fortunately, Li Lianhua had some wound medicine with her, so she immediately started treating the wounds. Fortunately, Di Feisheng's injuries were all minor and did not damage his bones, so they were treated in no time.
Li Lianxin basked in the moonlight outside for an hour before getting up to go back to sleep. She estimated that in a few more days, Master He would be able to find out everything.
"Should we go to the palace now and find the one containing the mother Gu and destroy it? No, that won't work either. Di Feisheng hasn't cured the Gu yet. If the mother Gu dies, the child Gu will die too, and the one with the Gu worms in its body will also die."
We need to get Di Feisheng back to his former strength quickly so we can deal with the Gu worms.
In classic TV drama tropes, when they get their hands on a key item, they never destroy it immediately. Instead, they wait for the villain to try and snatch it away, creating a tense standoff before finally eliminating the villain. This time, we need to be quicker.
Once Di Feisheng removes the Gu poison, the rest will be left to Shan Gudao to handle. The outcome will be the same anyway.
When Li Lianxin returned, Di Feisheng was still unconscious.
Li Lianxin transformed into a little fox and jumped onto the bed, curled up in a ball, closed her eyes, and went to sleep. Seeing this, Li Lianhua went to the bedside and got into bed as well.

"Water~" It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky the next day that Di Feisheng finally woke up from his coma. His voice was completely hoarse. Li Lianhua, who was sitting at the table, got up and brought him a glass of water. After drinking the water, Di Feisheng felt a little better.
Last night, he used the last of his strength to run to their room. Fortunately, he had someone investigate where they stayed at Tianji Manor from the beginning, otherwise it would have been hard to say.
It's fortunate that Di Feisheng is intelligent and persevering; otherwise, if his face had appeared elsewhere in Tianji Manor and been discovered, there would probably be one less person named Di Feisheng in the world today.
"Ah Fei, I've known you for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen you so miserable." Li Lianhua grinned, looking on with amusement. Di Feisheng, seeing this, lay on the soft couch and rolled his eyes at him.
He said in a hoarse voice with a hint of malice, "If my internal energy hadn't been sealed, they wouldn't have been a match for me at all."
At this point, Li Lianhua guiltily scratched the tip of his nose. How to put it, after talking for so long, it turned out that he was also responsible.
"I'll untie it for you in a bit."
"Dr. Li, Madam Li, our master requests your presence!" The guard outside knocked on the door and said from outside.
"knew"
"Ah Fei, you stay here by yourself, we'll be back in a bit," Li Lianhua instructed, and then took the invisibility cloak from Lianxin and draped it over Di Feisheng for safety.
After doing all this, the two followed the guards to the front hall.
"Master He"
"Dr. Li, Madam Li, just as you said, Shan Gudao is truly not dead!" She had been investigating everywhere these past few days. Although Shan Gudao had concealed his whereabouts very well, nothing stays hidden forever.
She finally found a clue and confirmed that the person behind Wanshengdao was Shan Gudao.
For so many years, she had always thought that this heartless man was long dead. At the time, his death caused a great uproar throughout the martial arts world. Unexpectedly, he hid away like a rat, leaving Li Xiangyi with no news of him to this day.
He Xiaohui took out the Luo Motian Ice and handed it to Li Lianxin, saying, "Although I don't know what Shan Gu Dao's purpose is, according to the investigation, the Two Elements Fairy was chased here by the Ten Thousand Saints Path and the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance."
This must be very important to them; I feel more at ease entrusting it to Doctor Li.
"Thank you, Hall Master He. The reasons are too complicated to explain in a short time. We need to set off immediately." The two exchanged a glance and nodded in tacit agreement.
