Everyone was stunned. Li Erniang, who had just been so arrogant, suddenly kneeling down was truly baffling to everyone.
"My lord! I... I didn't know you were here, please forgive me!" Li Erniang hurriedly lowered her head and spoke in Mo Han's direction.
Everyone looked at Mo Han, some of them wondering if Mo Han had some other background.
Mo Han glanced at Li Erniang and noticed the faint aura of the Nine Springs Token in her arms. He frowned immediately and asked, "Are you a fourth-generation person?"
In the Nine Springs Realm, the third generation represents the companion vessel, while the fourth generation is the attendant of the companion vessel. Mo Han and others are wary of the fourth generation who are lurking in this world.
"Yes!" Upon hearing Mo Han's question, Li Erniang hurriedly answered, but still dared not raise her head.
At this moment, Li Erniang's heart was filled with turmoil, thinking to herself, "Why has even the Realm Lord personally come? Could it be that the news has already spread..."
Mo Han looked at Li Hao, then glanced at Li Erniang, "You're Li Erniang?"
Li Erniang nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, sir."
Everyone remained silent, watching Li Erniang and Mo Han without daring to breathe.
"You're the one who saved Gu Liyan before, right?" Mo Han smiled.
"Yes." Li Erniang swallowed hard.
"There's a saying that goes, 'If you're going to help someone, help them all the way.' Since you've already helped them, then help them all the way!" Mo Han said with a smile.
Li Erniang then raised her head and looked at Gu Liyan, whose face was pale, and cautiously asked, "My lord, wouldn't it be better to take Gu Liyan back?"
"Hmph, if this kid wanted to go back, would he need you to save him?" Mo Han said irritably.
Li Erniang nodded in realization, "Yes, I, I'll save him right away!"
Li Jin and Li Hao, standing behind her, were both stunned. They knew Li Erniang's character well; she was definitely not the type to bow to power. But seeing Mo Han kneel down and bow her head was quite unusual.
Huang Xi patted Lan Ying, pulled her outside, and whispered, "Lan Ying, who exactly is this Mo Han? Why does that ugly monster call him 'sir'?"
"Keep your voice down!" Lan Ying whispered. "You didn't see how strong that guy is; he's definitely stronger than me!"
"He's so handsome, so capable, and most importantly, he has such an imposing presence, it's really..." Huang Xi looked like a lovesick fool.
"Stop being so infatuated. That guy's background is unknown, you'd better stay away from him!" Lan Ying said irritably.
"Hmph, I think you've got your eye on that Mo Han!" Huang Xi sneered.
Lan Ying blushed and said irritably, "Do you think I'm like you?"
—On the other side, inside the room, Li Erniang and Li Jin had gloomy expressions.
Li Erniang and Li Jin exchanged glances, then cautiously looked at Mo Han, "My lord, Gu Liyan, he..."
"Speak your mind," Mo Han said coldly.
“The reversed flow of meridians has affected the foundation. If it is not repaired as soon as possible, I’m afraid…” Li Erniang began.
"Just tell me what your solution is," Mo Han said coldly.
"My lord, we believe that Gu Liyan has lost all his life force and should replenish it as soon as possible..." At this point, Li Erniang dared not continue.
Mo Han glanced at her and nodded. "You're right, continue."
"Actually, Li Jin and I had previously cultivated a Poison Heart. Although the Poison Heart contained deadly poison, it also contained the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, as well as the power of my bloodline..."
Upon hearing this, Mo Han narrowed his eyes and coldly said, "So, you planned from the beginning to fuse this poisonous heart into my junior brother's body?"
Seeing Mo Han's indifferent expression, Li Erniang immediately became nervous. "My lord, Gu Liyan was poisoned at the time, and the only way to cure him was to use poison to fight poison, so I resorted to this desperate measure..."
"Hmph, you still know this is a bad strategy! Now that the toxins in my junior brother's body have been purified, you still want to fuse the Poison Heart into him. What exactly are you up to!" Mo Han said coldly. "If it weren't for the fact that you took care of my junior brother before, I would have sent you back right now! Do you think you still have a chance to act in front of me? Or do you think I don't know who poisoned my junior brother?"
Li Erniang immediately panicked, looked up at Mo Han and said, "Even if you gave me ten lives, I wouldn't dare to lay a hand on him! Although the Seven-Day Killing Poison was one I developed, it was that woman who accidentally poisoned him, not me!"
Mo Han snorted coldly, "Hmph, you left poison in this world that shouldn't have been left behind. Isn't the punishment you've received enough to remind you? And you still want to keep it in your home. Without your cause, how can there be any effect? It's all just you deceiving yourself!"
Li Erniang's face changed drastically. Knowing that she had made a mistake that could not be undone, she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "It was my fault. If you must punish someone, punish me alone..."
Upon seeing this, Li Jin hurriedly knelt down. "My lord, if you wish to save this young man, you cannot do without miraculous medicines. Right now, the only medicine we have is this Poison Heart, which can be considered a suitable match. What Second Madam just said is all true; she has absolutely no intention of harming anyone!"
Mo Han coldly looked at Li Jin and said, "Who do you think you are, daring to question my actions!"
Seeing Mo Han's anger, Li Erniang hurriedly kowtowed and admitted her mistake, "My lord, you are a magnanimous man, please don't hold it against Li Jin, he didn't mean it..."
“Li Erniang, although I don’t know why Li Jin is related to you by blood, I must remind you that, given your status, if you were to train your descendants, you would be accused of betraying the world and establishing a new power without authorization!” Mo Han said coldly, narrowing his eyes.
Li Erniang lowered her head and dared not say anything more.
Mo Chen said, "Forget it, let's think about how to treat Gu Liyan first."
