Lin Zhan looked at Murong Hui who was staring at him with a pair of cold eyes not far away, and did not dare to slack off, so he called Bixia.

"Sister Bixia, I forgot something in the palace. It's in the box next to my bed. Please help me get it."

Bixia did not doubt it, nodded in agreement, and left Qinglan Courtyard.

Seeing that Lin Zan had done what he instructed, Murong Hui pretended to be calm and swept the yard with a broom, but in fact he did not sweep anything.

Perhaps because he had someone to lean on, Lin Zhan was not so afraid of him anymore. He walked over and pointed at the fallen leaves on the ground and said, "It looks like this wasn't swept clean."

As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Hui's cold gaze shot straight at him, making Lin Zhan shiver.

Thinking that the person in front of him is the young master of Baitong Pavilion, who is well-known in the world, it is always a good idea to establish a good relationship with him.

So Lin Zan simply didn't go to class on the grounds of feeling unwell, and instead sat on the steps and talked to Murong Hui.

"Do you really not like Si Xueyi? Why don't you like her? Is it because she is stupid? But she is very beautiful and kind. Aren't these very rare qualities in your eyes?"

Lin Zan sat there chattering, wanting to know why Murong Hui was not attracted to Si Xueyi.

Or was it because of his intervention that the original plot changed, causing Murong Hui to no longer like Si Xueyi?

But Murong Hui kept his mouth shut from beginning to end, until he could no longer bear Lin Zan's barrage of questions, then he spoke with a cold and sinister face.

"If you say one more word, I will cut off your tongue. After all, I don't need your tongue when I give you an acupuncture injection."

His words frightened Lin Zhan instantly. Her face turned pale and she quickly covered her mouth.

"You are so fierce and cruel, no wonder you can only be Si Xueyi's backup stepping stone in the book. No one would like a man like you."

Lin Zan muttered, but Murong Hui couldn't hear his vague words clearly.

In the afternoon, Bixia successfully brought the golden needle back from the palace.

"Miss, I have done what you asked me to do." Bixia said to Lin Zan seriously.

Lin Zhan nodded to her in approval. "I'm naturally very confident in Sister Bixia's work. Sister, please go out first."

After saying that, Bixia looked at Lin Zhan with a strange look and walked out. After a while, Murong Hui climbed in through the window.

"Before I give you acupuncture, how about we make a deal?" Lin Zhan said to Murong Hui, holding the golden needle in his hand.

Murong Hui's eyes narrowed slightly, looking extremely dangerous. "Are you trying to use this to threaten me?"

"Are you suffering from paranoia? I've already said let's make a deal, how can that be considered a threat to you?" Lin Zhan pouted in dissatisfaction.

Murong Hui snorted coldly. "What deal?"

"I'll help you cure your illness, and you help me get some information, how about that?" Lin Zan's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked Murong Hui tentatively.

Murong Hui's expression became even colder than before. "Why do you think that I must have you, and that you are the only one who can cure my illness?"

"If your disease can be cured by others, then why bother coming to me? We are all smart people, so why not speak frankly?" Lin Zan said with a smile. Although he was young, his words were to the point.

Murong Hui's eyes became colder and colder, like a cold poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to strike. He just stared at Lin Zan without saying a word for a long time.

Suddenly Murong Hui started laughing, his voice gradually rising, and even his facial features became distorted because of this weird smile.

"Very good. I underestimated you because of your age. Since you want to make this deal, I will agree to it." Murong Hui nodded and agreed.

This made Lin Zan overjoyed. Being able to have Si Xueyi's second most powerful assistant in her own hands was worth it for her to risk her life to negotiate with this perverted person.

Afterwards, Lin Zan didn't say any more nonsense and started to give acupuncture to Murong Hui with the golden needle in his hand.

He was also surprised to find that the poison in Murong Hui's body had grown a lot stronger than before, as if it had grown from an infant to a young adult.

As time passed, beads of sweat appeared on Lin Zhan's porcelain-white face, and her little hands began to tremble slightly.

The golden needle technique passed down to her by the acupuncturist was not so easy to perform, and it was extremely energy-consuming and might even hurt the acupuncturist himself.

Three hours passed unknowingly. Lin Zhan let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, while Murong Hui also opened his eyes, revealing a gleam of light.

But during the acupuncture process, Murong Hui could not move at all, so he could only hear Lin Zhan gasping for breath behind him, but he didn't know what her situation was.

When Lin Zhan recovered, he walked in front of Murong Hui and said with a serious face, "You can't use force anymore. Otherwise, the poison in your body will only get worse, and in the end even my golden needles won't be able to suppress it."

"Don't you have a way to completely eradicate the toxins in my body?" Murong Hui asked.

Lin Zhan shook his head honestly. "I am not very skilled yet, so I can't eradicate the poison in your body. Besides, it's not poison at all, but a poisonous insect."

After these two diagnoses, Lin Zan has confirmed that Murong Hui's body contains the strange poisonous insect that only appears in Xijiang.

There are not many records of this kind of poisonous insect even in the books of the Imperial Medical Bureau. I heard that the technique of poisonous insect is as good as that of traditional Chinese medicine.

Moreover, in Xijiang, there are good and bad poisonous insects, and some that can cure people and some that can harm people. It is obvious that the poisonous insect in Murong Hui's body is harmful.

Murong Hui did not respond to Lin Zhan's words, but closed his eyes and waited for Lin Zhan to pull out the golden needle from his body.

Seeing that the man in front of him didn't want to say more, Lin Zhan naturally didn't ask any further questions. He waited for another half an hour and pulled out the golden needle from his body.

The moment he pulled out the golden needle, Murong Hui spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his breathing became much smoother. He turned his head and looked at Lin Zhan deeply, then took out a token from his arms.

"If you have any problems, you can place this token on the tree north of Qinglan Courtyard, and I will come to find you." After Murong Hui finished speaking, he put on his clothes, jumped out of the window and left.

Lin Zhan put away the token and muttered, "You chose to go through the window instead of the door."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Lin Zhan opened the door and the person standing at the door was not Bixia, but Jun Beiqi.

"Why did you change your mind?" Jun Beiqi looked at Lin Zan calmly.

Lin Zhan tilted his head and smiled, "It's useful to keep him."
