Xu Nian exclaimed excitedly, "That's the frost flower I wanted, and there's a good amount of it, definitely enough!"
Just as she had predicted, the place where the frost flower grows is extremely awkward and remote, and if one is not careful, one will fall into an abyss.
Gu Zhan examined it carefully for a moment, then nodded in understanding, "Then I'll go get it."
As he said this, he stepped forward, carefully observed the terrain, and frowned slightly. "It's not easy to get down here; it's completely suspended in mid-air."
Xu Nian was also in a dilemma. After thinking it over, she took out a rope as thick as her wrist from her spatial storage.
"Tie me up and take me down?" Gu Zhan, with his strong comprehension skills, immediately retorted.
Xu Nian nodded and stepped forward to wrap the rope around his waist.
She patiently tied the knot, completely unaware of how ambiguous their current posture was.
Gu Zhan's back stiffened for a moment as he felt the faint fragrance emanating from Xu Nian up close, and his eyes involuntarily darkened.
He tightened his grip on his trouser side, raised it slightly, and then quickly lowered it again.
"alright."
Xu Nian clapped her hands and looked at Gu Zhan with great satisfaction.
He was always tall and aloof, but now with a rope around his waist, he looked rather comical, and Xu Nian couldn't help but chuckle.
Gu Zhan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Then I'll go."
Without saying a word, he handed one end of the rope to Xu Nian and then jumped down without hesitation.
Xu Nian was afraid she wouldn't be able to hold him back, so she drew a talisman and gripped the rope tightly.
[Keep it up, streamer! Don't let the general fall!]
What are you saying? Don't curse the general!
I think the streamer is quite reliable, so don't worry everyone~
“Exactly!” Xu Nian echoed indignantly.
What kind of impression did she leave on the viewers in the live stream?!
As Gu Zhan climbed down the cliff, he could clearly see where the frost flowers grew.
Thorns were everywhere, and the vegetation was lush; it didn't seem like a plant that grew on a cliff.
The flower emitted a faint glow, making it easy to spot even in the darkness, and Gu Zhan easily climbed over.
While picking them, a voice came from above, instructing, "Make sure to pick them whole, don't break any."
Gu Zhan kept it in mind and softened his movements as he carefully picked the frost flowers.
His large hands, usually used to wield swords, had never done such delicate work before, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Following Xu Nian, he experienced many things he had never experienced before.
Xu Nian's view wasn't wide enough; she could only see him patiently picking the fruit. Suddenly, she heard him laugh and quickly asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"nothing."
Gu Zhan gave a nonchalant reply, while his hands moved faster.
Soon, the frost flowers landed steadily in Gu Zhan's palm, each one perfectly intact.
"hiss."
Suddenly, Gu Zhan let out a muffled groan, a look of unbearable discomfort appearing on his face, and his hand holding the frost flower trembled.
Xu Nian noticed that his expression was off and immediately asked urgently, "What's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhan raised his eyes and said with suppressed emotion, "It's alright, quickly pull me up."
Suddenly, Xu Nian came to her senses and hurriedly pulled on the rope. With the help of her magic, she successfully brought him up from below.
As soon as she arrived, Xu Nian anxiously grabbed Gu Zhan's hand and examined it carefully, asking, "Are you hurt?"
As expected, Gu Zhan had a huge cut on his wrist, and blood was flowing out in a bright red stream.
"You must have been scratched by thorns by accident."
Gu Zhan, on the other hand, felt no pain or itch. Having been on the battlefield for many years, this little scar was nothing to worry about.
Xu Nian felt extremely guilty. After all, it was because she needed the frost flower that Gu Zhan was so serious and got injured.
His wrist is currently so badly injured that it even has a bone fracture, and he needs to rest and recuperate.
Thinking of this, a resolute look flashed in Xu Nian's eyes as she earnestly accepted the frost flower. "Let's go. Let me take good care of you these next few days."
Gu Zhan originally intended to decline, but seeing Xu Nian's serious expression, he twitched his lips and revealed a faint smile.
"Then you'll have to take good care of me."
That night, moonlight streamed through the window.
Gu Zhan lowered his eyes, watching Xu Nian's busy movements, and couldn't help but say, "Why don't you rest for a while?"
Xu Nian, meanwhile, was carefully preparing the medicine, her eyes filled with determination. "No, those siblings can't wait much longer."
It wasn't that she was cursing the Su siblings; it was just that this was the first time she had encountered this poison, and she didn't know if the concoction would work, so she needed to allow plenty of time.
Although Gu Zhan was standing, his wrists were wrapped in bandages like a rice dumpling, thanks to Xu Nian.
As soon as she returned, she dragged Gu Zhan into the house and tied him up all over, claiming it was to help him rest. Gu Zhan simply went along with her.
Xu Nian had countless ideas for drugs in her mind, but implementing them was quite troublesome. Fortunately, Su Mu provided a sufficient amount of drugs.
Before long, Xu Nian had prepared four kinds of medicine.
Looking at the bottles and jars on the table, she felt worried.
Although she had boasted to the siblings, this medicine was, after all, a top-grade poison from the Western Regions, and naturally more difficult to counteract than ordinary poisons.
Gu Zhan noticed her sudden drop in mood and moved closer, "You were so enthusiastic just now, why do you look so down now?"
Xu Nian glanced at him. "Thank you for your concern, General. I'm just worried about whether there will be any side effects."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes, poured out some powder, and applied it to his lips.
"Hey, that's medicine!"
Xu Nian immediately rushed to give him water, saying frantically, "You're about to throw up, what if there are any side effects..."
"No, I don't feel any different."
Gu Zhan shrugged, his expression unchanged.
He took the water from Xu Nian's hand and said patiently, "Your medical skills are actually fine; you're just worrying too much and scaring yourself."
As he spoke, Gu Zhan put the bottle back in, saying, "You need to have more faith in yourself."
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian's expression became somewhat subtle. She coughed unconsciously, her ears burning red. "I understand."
After encouraging Xu Nian, Gu Zhan didn't linger, and the two went to bed separately after parting ways.
The next day.
Xu Nian carried the medicine and went to find Su Wanting excitedly.
Gu Zhan followed behind her, his expression indifferent.
"Wan Ting!" Xu Nian knocked on the door.
She lived not far from Su Wanting; it was just a few steps away.
Su Wanting's eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly pushed open the door. "You're here! I was just about to come find you, and then..."
Her words came to an abrupt halt as she stared at Xu Nian in shock, her fingers trembling slightly.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Xu Nian looked at her suspiciously, her face full of confusion, "Why do you suddenly look so pale?"
Su Wanting opened and closed her lips for a long time, stammering, "He, he..."
This time, Xu Nian realized what was happening and turned around to explain, "Oh, him? He just arrived yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Su Wanting slapped her face in disbelief, her voice filled with shock that seemed to pierce the heavens.
"How do you know General Gu Zhan?!"
