But, I clearly sent Xiaohe to monitor Qu Qingxi, so why did a mistake still occur? Besides, Xiaohe had already searched Qu Qingxi's body, and there was nothing on her. So where did the antidote for the muscle-relaxing powder come from?
Cangyuan would not doubt Xiaohe, and Xiaohe would never dare to betray him.
"This morning, I took the antidote."
"Where did the antidote come from?" Cang Yuan stared at Qu Qingxi with suspicion.
"This is my life-saving method, of course I can't tell you." Qu Qingxi smiled slightly. The muscle-softening powder was of course in her space, but of course she wouldn't reveal it.
Knowing that Qu Qingxi didn't want to talk about it, Cang Yuan didn't press the matter. However, he couldn't help but admire Qu Qingxi's acting skills. Even though he was so careful, he still failed.
"Since you didn't trust me from the beginning, why did you make a mistake at the last minute and let me take her away?" If you suspected me from the start, why did I still manage to take her away?
Was it something she did on purpose, or was she simply unprepared at the time?
Even Cang Yuan himself didn't realize that when he asked that question, he was holding onto a sliver of hope.
“Because of your identity as a Gu Master, although I don’t know how many Gu worms you carry, the fact that you don’t smell of Gu worms on you tells me that you are not simple. Either you are a very high-level Gu Master, or you are carrying a lot of Gu worms. If we leave you in the capital, and we happen to clash, I’m not sure what you might do in a moment of panic.” Qu Qingxi shook her head.
If this happened in the capital, and Cangyuan got angry and brought out all the Gu worms, wouldn't the whole capital be in chaos?
Qu Qingxi really dared not gamble. At that time, even if she could cure the Gu, and even if her manpower and He Liufeng's manpower were both very strong, they would not be able to stop the harm caused by the Gu worms.
"So you thought so badly of me?" Cang Yuan chuckled self-deprecatingly.
"Miss Qu, how many Gu worms can you cure? And who is your master?" This was what Cang Yuan was most curious about.
Everything he did for Qu Qingxi stemmed from his curiosity about why Qu Qingxi could cure curses and how many he could do. He felt that only Qu Qingxi could be his most qualified and suitable friend.
"There are only a few kinds." Qu Qingxi gave the same answer. It's not a good thing to easily expose your secrets to others.
"I have a request. If you agree, I will leave now and will never bother you again," Cang Yuan said, staring at Qu Qingxi.
"You say it." Qu Qingxi did not immediately agree. He Liufeng did not say a word from beginning to end, but just stood quietly next to Qu Qingxi, silently supporting her.
"I'd like to spar with you, but I'll be using Gu worms during the sparring. Are you willing?" Cang Yuan stared at Qu Qingxi with a hint of nervousness, unsure if she would agree to his request.
He knew that Qu Qingxi must have a way to control the Gu worms. She could make anti-poison bracelets and anti-poison sachets, and she could also remove Gu worms. In addition, he had talked with Die Feng before.
Die Feng said that on the night he was arrested, he originally planned to compete with Qu Qingxi using Gu worms, but who knew that after he released his Gu worms, they would disappear into thin air.
Therefore, he found Qu Qingxi very strange and warned Cang Yuan not to provoke Qu Qingxi easily.
But Cang Yuan didn't care about that. He only knew that Qu Qingxi was very knowledgeable about Gu worms, which was very valuable to him.
"No." Before Qu Qingxi could even speak, He Liufeng was the first to refuse.
Even if he didn't understand Gu worms, he knew they were strange and terrifying. Who knew if Cang Yuan would bring out some strange Gu worms? He had heard of them before; there were several kinds of Gu worms that could enter the human body and control the person's body and mind.
What if Cangyuan takes the opportunity to put some strange and bizarre Gu worms into Qu Qingxi and uses it to control her?
He absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.
"Cangyuan, you've already lost today. You shouldn't have any other conditions." He Liufeng stared indifferently at Cangyuan, one hand tightly around Qu Qingxi's shoulder.
"I can agree to this request, but I have one condition: if I win today, I want you to swear that from this day forward, no Gu worms will ever enter the Ling Dynasty again. I mean, all Gu worms." Qu Qingxi had other ideas in mind.
The level of the Gu Master Cangyuan seems very high, and his identity is probably not simple either. If he can agree to this condition, it should avoid a lot of trouble.
If Diefeng can come out, it means that others will definitely come out in the future, and I don't have the absolute ability to keep track of any unusual situations in other places.
So now is the perfect opportunity, and she wants to prevent this from happening again.
Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives colludes with a Gu master, it will inevitably cause considerable trouble. Most importantly, Qu Qingxi doesn't want too many people to know that she can cure Gu.
Qu Qingxi understood the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." If people with ulterior motives found out about this matter and made a big fuss about it, it would bring considerable trouble to both Qu Qingxi and He Liufeng.
"I cannot promise you this. Not everyone will obey my orders, and I cannot control everyone. However, I can promise you that I will do my best to control them. Moreover, if Lingchao really encounters this situation, I will send people to deal with the Gu worms and that person," Cangyuan replied after thinking for a while.
Upon hearing this, Qu Qingxi turned to look at He Liufeng's expression, then nodded, "Alright, then I hope you can keep your promise."
“But…” Hearing Qu Qingxi’s request, He Liufeng’s previously firm resolve began to waver. It has to be said that Qu Qingxi’s request was incredibly attractive, as it effectively eliminated a hidden risk.
However, he was worried about the safety of the people, and also about the safety of Qu Qingxi.
"But what? Are you doubting my abilities?" Qu Qingxi smiled and glanced at He Liufeng, then pulled down his hand from her shoulder.
"Do you want to rest for a while?" Qu Qingxi raised an eyebrow. Cang Yuan had just finished fighting He Liufeng, and it seemed a bit like taking advantage of his vulnerability to join in now.
"No need," Cang Yuan waved his hand.
"Then let's begin." Qu Qingxi took out a folding fan from her spatial storage and assumed an attack stance.
Cang Yuan also took a serious look at Qu Qingxi, and then assumed an attack stance. His greatest weapon was himself.
Seeing that Cang Yuan remained still, Qu Qingxi narrowed her eyes and took the initiative to make a move.
