She looked at the guards' faces to see if there were any changes. After a careful examination, she noticed that one person was avoiding their gaze, hiding in the crowd, not wanting them to see his face.
After noticing the guard, Xu Yuehuai quickly continued to stare at him carefully. Then she saw that something on his face seemed to have faded, and his appearance changed suddenly. His eyes no longer looked the same as before, as if they had become rounder instead of narrow.
Seeing the guard's change, she immediately knew that he must be the spy.
Xu Yuehuai immediately gave Qi Guze a look, indicating to him that the person might be the spy.
After receiving this instruction, Qi Guze immediately gave Pei Xuan a hint, and Pei Xuan immediately moved towards the direction where the guard was.
After the explosion in the lake subsided, the guards around the lake began to clean themselves off and check for any other dangers nearby.
Pei Xuan immediately attacked the guard, who sensed that Pei Xuan and his men were suspicious of him and immediately retaliated. The two men fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand.
The other guards nearby were shocked when they saw this scene. The person the guard was disguised as was no match for Pei Xuan, but now when he and Pei Xuan fought, their martial arts skills were almost equal, and it was impossible to determine a winner. They immediately sensed something was wrong.
It's impossible for someone's martial arts skills to improve so much suddenly. That person must have been hiding their strength before, and now that it's been exposed, there must be something wrong with them.
Moreover, that person didn't reveal anything before starting to fight with Pei Xuan, and even tried to sneak away to the side. This person was definitely a spy hiding among them!
Upon learning this, these people immediately helped Pei Xuan and went with him to deal with that person, wanting to capture him as soon as possible and interrogate him about who was behind him.
However, just as they all gathered around that person, trying to grab him, he suddenly swallowed a pill, unleashing a powerful burst of internal energy that sent several guards with low internal energy levels flying.
Only Pei Xuan and a few guards with high internal strength remained around, and they immediately went forward to attack the person.
However, that person became incredibly powerful, his martial arts skills improved several times over, and he took out his weapon, engaging in a frenzied battle with Pei Xuan and the others.
Pei Xuan and his group were no match for that person. After several rounds of fighting, they all fell to the ground, each seriously injured and coughing up blood.
Upon seeing this, Qi Guze and his group immediately rushed forward and continued fighting with the man.
Seeing Qi Guze fighting with internal injuries, Pei Xuan felt extremely guilty and quickly said from the side, "Your Highness, please be careful! Don't get hurt!"
Qi Guze said, "I am more than capable of dealing with this person. You all should go to the side and treat your injuries."
"Ghost Doctor, hurry over and treat their injuries."
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Doctor immediately led the seriously injured to a safe place nearby, took out medicine to treat their wounds, and began to heal them.
Xu Yuehuai knew she was no match for that person, so she didn't rush up to fight him. Instead, she stayed by the side to help the Ghost Doctor and take care of the other injured people.
After witnessing Xu Yuehuai's skill in bandaging others' wounds, the Ghost Doctor said with great admiration, "I see you have some talent. Why don't you stay by my side and become my apprentice?"
"With me teaching you medicine, you'll definitely become the next Ghost Doctor!"
"At that time, you will not only be able to help take care of the injured, but also establish your own clinic, let the whole world know about your medical skills, and become a famous person."
After hearing this, Xu Yuehuai felt that what the Ghost Doctor said was somewhat unreliable.
"Am I really that talented? If I learn from you, will I really be as good as you? I don't ask for fame or fortune, I just hope to heal the prince's wounds properly."
"But the prince suffered severe internal injuries. After examining him, you didn't have any other solutions, so why should I trust you?"
"Your medical skills don't seem that amazing!"
The Ghost Doctor's expression immediately turned sour as he glared at Xu Yuehuai.
"My medical skills are unparalleled. If I am second, no one would dare to claim to be first. However, I know how to treat the internal injuries on the prince's body, but I do not have the necessary medicinal herbs on hand, so I have no way to treat him now."
"If you can find the red vine, I might be able to heal his internal injuries and also help him improve his internal strength."
"However, these red vines are extremely precious. They can't be found around here, and there aren't many in the entire Four Kingdoms. They're all hidden in the hands of noble families. If they're not willing to hand them over, I have no way to treat the prince."
"Since Your Highness isn't going to make a big fuss about finding Red Boy to treat my internal injuries, what other options do I have?"
Xu Yuehua sighed upon hearing this. Qi Guze actually had another way to treat his internal injuries, but he was unwilling for her to take the risk.
"Then could you raise my internal energy? Make it as strong as the prince's?"
"Don't try to trap me here. I already know that the Prince doesn't allow anyone else to tell you how to improve your internal strength because he's afraid you'll take risks. Suddenly improving your internal strength will consume a lot of your vital energy. Even if your internal strength increases, your body will be damaged. This damage will be permanent and may never heal. I'm not going to tell you this method."
The Ghost Doctor was unwilling to offend Qi Guze, so he wouldn't tell Xu Yuehuai how to improve her internal strength.
Seeing that the Ghost Doctor was unwilling to tell her a way to quickly improve her internal strength, Xu Yuehua sighed again.
Meanwhile, Qi Guze had already subdued the spy. The spy was knocked to the ground and struggled incessantly, but to no avail; he had no way to escape.
Upon witnessing this scene, Pei Xuan's other guards quickly rushed forward and tied up the spy.
Qi Guze suddenly staggered, looking as if he had been injured.
