Qingluan was not one to overthink things. Seeing that Lingya's complexion had improved, she said softly, "Sister Lingya, please rest well. I'll take my leave now."
"Okay, go ahead."
"yes."
After leaving Lingya's room, Qingluan went to Shangguan Xuan and Qi Yufeng's room, and stayed with them until they finished their meal and medicine before getting up to leave.
As soon as she pushed open the door, Qingluan was slightly taken aback by the person standing outside.
She realized what was happening and quickly stepped back two paces to the side, saying, "Master."
Ming Beiya glanced at Qingluan indifferently, nodded slightly, and stepped into the room.
Seeing this, Qingluan had doubts in her heart, but dared not say anything. She was about to go out when she heard Ming Beiya's cold voice, "Go to Asheng's room and guard her."
"Yes, I understand."
Upon hearing Ming Beiya's arrangement, Qingluan almost immediately understood what he wanted to do and turned to go to Mo Shisheng's room next door.
After Qingluan left, she closed the door behind her. Ming Beiya slowly walked up to Shangguan Xuan and Qi Yufeng, his gaze sweeping lightly over their thin faces.
Probably not expecting Ming Beiya to come, a cold glint flashed in Shangguan Xuan's eyes. "Ming Beiya, where exactly do you place Shi Sheng?"
"I don't need to explain my affairs to you."
Ming Beiya spoke softly, leaned slightly forward, and with one hand holding a dagger, lightly sliced open Shangguan Xuan's arm. Blood oozed out, and he wiped the blood off with a clean handkerchief.
Shangguan Xuan didn't understand Ming Beiya's actions, his gaze turning slightly cold, "Shi Sheng isn't meant to stay by your side and suffer!"
Ming Beiya acted as if he hadn't heard at all, and continued to use the dagger to cut another line on Qi Yufeng's arm. He then took out another handkerchief to wipe it clean before turning and leaving.
Watching Ming Beiya's departing figure, Qi Yufeng's lips curled into a slight, mocking smile. "What is he planning to do?"
"..."
Shangguan Xuan remained silent, a deep gloom covering his thin, handsome face.
"Maybe he did it to help us detoxify."
Seeing that Shangguan Xuan had no interest in paying attention to him, Qi Yufeng spoke up on his own, "Isn't it rumored that he is omnipotent? Maybe he really can cure our poison."
"unnecessary!"
Shangguan Xuan spoke coldly, but the force of his words triggered a violent cough...

After Ming Beiya left, he put away the two handkerchiefs and went into Mo Shisheng's room.
Qingluan turned and left without letting Ming Beiya speak, leaving them alone.
Mo Shisheng was still asleep, her face was terribly pale. When Ming Beiya went out, he covered her with another blanket, which made her much warmer, but the girl's body was still terribly cold.
Indeed, he had just gone to collect blood from Shangguan Xuan and Qi Yufeng in order to detoxify them. The reason was simply that he had discovered several poisonous substances in the medicinal herbs that Mo Shisheng consumed daily.
Those poisons were somewhat similar to the poisons on Shangguan Xuan and the others, but their potency was vastly different.
Ming Beiya knew that Mo Shisheng wanted to test the poison on herself to cure them, which is why she decided to help them.
He reached his large hand under the covers and touched the girl's hand; it was icy cold. His eyes darkened slightly. He got up, took off his outer garment, and then lay down under the covers, reaching out to embrace the girl's slender waist and pulling her into his arms.
He held her cold body in his arms, wanting to transfer all his warmth to her.
