"You followed the rules very well. I provided the supplies, you led the way, and you did a great job, didn't you?" Xia Chuhe said with a smile.
"If everyone is not leaving and doesn't need me to lead the way, can I still stay?" Zhu Guanshan hurriedly asked, "I heard from Bu Yi that a legion is being formed, and I can join the legion."
Zhu Guanshan possesses a living map and is immune to various supernatural abilities. Joining the legion as a scout would be perfect for him.
Xia Chuhe shook his head: "You can stay for now, but we need to clear out the little tails behind you before we can consider taking you into the legion."
If Zhuguan Mountain remains under surveillance by higher-ups, it's tantamount to the legion's every move being under their control. The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, losing all initiative.
Zhu Guanshan understood Xia Chuhe's concerns and sighed helplessly, "Alright. There's one more thing, Sister Li, I know what the root of your illness is."
"Speak quickly!" This time, Xia Chuhe and Li Yue were truly shocked. The two of them immediately perked up and urged Zhu Guanshan in unison.
Xia Chuhe took two quick steps forward, almost kicking over the small stool at his feet in his haste.
"I'm just guessing..."
Zhu Guanshan slowly recounted: "This all started with my background. My father... the person who raised me was named Guan Wuji."
Upon hearing the name, Li Yue's expression turned strange; she clearly recognized the person.
Zhu Guanshan continued, "The Butler is one of the three major families in the upper class and the actual controller of the Five Star Group. Guan Wuji is the new generation of the Butler's leader. In addition to the ability to be immune to supernatural attacks that all upper-class people have, he also has another ability—poison seed."
"He can silently implant a special virus into anyone he comes into contact with. The virus originated from his superpower, and only he knows how to suppress it. He used this method to develop a vast information network, and the people who transmit information in the network are named 'canaries.' All the canaries are infected and must use the antidote regularly."
Zhu Guanshan looked at Li Yue: "If the detoxification isn't administered on time, you'll experience symptoms like yours. Initially, it's just chest tightness and weakness, gradually leading to suffocation, paralysis, and eventually death. Sister Li, I don't know if you've been in contact with Guan Wuji, but your current symptoms are very similar to the effects of the poison. You..."
“Yes, I am… I used to be a canary,” Li Yue said softly.
