Gu Liyan moved into Qingqing's room without any pressure as a "newbie". Not long after Gu Liyan fell asleep, Lüxiu knocked on Qingqing's door.
Qingqing opened the door and looked at Lüxiu, who was standing in the doorway with a surprised expression, with a surprised look on her face. "You're home?"
Qingqing asked in confusion: Is something the matter?
Green Embroidery frowned. "Why are you home now?"
Qingqing frowned unhappily: If I'm not here, then where should I be?
"What do you think? Didn't I tell you to go with Gu Liyan? Where did you go?!" Green Embroidery pointed at Qingqing angrily, "You can't even care about such a small thing!"
Qingqing suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to follow Gu Liyan because she was taking care of Xiaobai when he was sick!
"You, getting you to do something is harder than climbing to heaven! Now that we can't find Gu Liyan, I bet he secretly ran away and leaked the secret!" Seeing Qingqing's sudden realization, Lüxiu scolded her with even more disappointment.
Qingqing looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, I was held up this morning and then I forgot. But don't worry, if Gu Liyan leaks the secret, I'll be the first to punish him!"
After thinking for a moment, Qingqing "said" again: For safety reasons, should we move Lan Ying?
"No need!" Green Embroidery said irritably. "Besides wanting to inquire about Gu Liyan's whereabouts, I also wanted to tell you that Lan Ying's poison has been cured and she has fully recovered!"
Qingqing was stunned. The poison that supposedly caused death within seven days was incurable. How could it have been overcome overnight? Even more unbelievable was how she had fully recovered.
However, it's best if Lan Ying is alright.
He immediately looked overjoyed: Really? You've really found the antidote for the seven-day death? That's wonderful!
Green Embroidery pouted and said irritably, "That has nothing to do with you. This is the result of everyone's hard work. Just don't cause us any trouble!"
Qingqing's face stiffened, and she was filled with regret. She cursed Gu Liyan for leaving at this crucial moment.
However, despite being scolded by Lüxiu, Lanying was still very happy that she had recovered. After all, being kind-hearted, she didn't want to lose a sister.
Green Embroidery spoke coldly and indifferently:
"If you see Gu Liyan return, tell us immediately. We absolutely cannot let him do anything reckless!"
Qingqing quickly nodded to indicate that she understood.
After Qingqing saw Lüxiu off, she returned to her room and suddenly found that "Xiaobai" had woken up. However, its tired eyes were so human-like that Qingqing felt a pang of heartache. She immediately placed the food she had prepared in front of Gu Liyan and asked with concern, "Xiaobai, would you like something to eat?"
Gu Liyan shook his head, stood up and walked towards the door. He had to change back quickly, otherwise those women would definitely misunderstand Qingqing.
"Wait for Xiaobai!" Seeing that Gu Liyan was about to leave, Qingqing took out a red stone from her jewelry box and hurriedly chased after him.
Gu Liyan turned his head, and Qingqing placed a red gemstone around his neck, gently patting his head as she spoke:
"In the Kingdom of Weilong, this bloodstone represents the dragon's eye and can ward off evil and disaster. Wear this one! And make sure you don't get sick again next time!"
Gu Liyan felt a warmth in his heart. He glanced at Qingqing, rubbed her palm against his, and then turned and left.
Qingqing sighed, "I hope you'll come to see me again..."
The relationship between humans and animals is so simple: a single act of kindness can be repaid for eternity. But what about humans?
Thinking of the stunningly handsome man who had stood up for her, Qingqing couldn't help but sigh:
"Gu Liyan, it's best if we avoid each other from now on and not owe each other anything!"
—On the other side
"Have you found Gu Liyan?" Hong Ling and the others gathered together again.
“There’s no back garden,” Cheng Xi said, shaking her head.
“I went to the wine cellar and asked, and he didn’t go to get any wine today,” Huang Xi said.
"This guy, he won't actually sneak out and leak information, will he?" Cheng Xi asked with a worried expression.
Huang Xi slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "It must be! We angered him yesterday, and he's trying to get revenge on us!"
Lan Ying, however, seemed unconcerned. "What's there to be afraid of? So what if he leaks information? My illness is cured, why would I be afraid of him leaking information?"
"It's better to be safe than sorry. It's better to find him." Hong Ling said indifferently.
Just then, the girls saw Green Embroidery return with an angry expression. Red Silk hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Have you found him?"
"What's the point of looking? The person is gone, what's the use of looking now?" Green Embroidery said irritably.
"Then why do you look so unhappy?" Huang Xi asked, puzzled.
"It's all because of Qingqing! Honestly! We asked her to keep an eye on Gu Liyan all the time, but she ignored us and went off to do other things! She really doesn't care about Lan Ying at all!" Green Embroidery said, feeling indignant on Lan Ying's behalf.
Lan Ying frowned slightly, thinking to herself, "That wicked woman Qingqing, could she still be holding a grudge about what happened that day? It seems I need to go and warn her!"
"Alright, Qingqing is no longer important. Hurry up and go find Gu Liyan!" Hongling said immediately.
"Ah. I won't be going. I need to prepare for tonight's performance." Cheng Xi bowed and said, "I'll take my leave now."
Lan Ying, looking equally bored, said, "I'm hungry again. I'm going to the kitchen to find something to eat. You guys can go ahead!"
Hong Ling's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but she didn't say anything. Seeing this, Lü Xiu spoke up, "Big sister, don't worry, I will keep an eye on Gu Liyan at all times."
Hongling nodded without saying anything. "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
