Chapter 1553: One Thought Clear
Wen Baicao looked innocent. Ye Yun was too lazy to pay attention to him. He quickly came behind Old Lady Shang and caught the porcelain bottle in her hand. "Are you going to give me the drug?"
Ye Yun's voice was full of curiosity, but his eyes turned to Chen Changli.
He looked calm, as if Mrs. Shang's actions would not cause any fluctuations in his emotions.
"Aren't you afraid?" After a moment of silence, Ye Yun asked curiously.
"Isn't this what you expected?" Chen Changli asked instead of answering.
Ye Yun was stunned for a moment, then he smiled coldly and said, "No matter how much I look forward to this, I still need your cooperation, but when you really cooperate, I feel uneasy."
Speaking of this, Ye Yun's expression changed slightly, and his eyes were inexplicably locked on Chen Changli.
I stared at him for a long time, making sure that he was emotionally stable at the moment and would not deliberately cause trouble.
Ye Yun suddenly smiled and said, "I have always felt that you are someone worth guarding against, but seeing your performance now, I don't think that is necessary."
Seeing his face was very obscure in the sunlight, Chen Changli felt a little strange, but he said calmly: "So you are worried about me."
His tone was very certain. Ye Yun's expression froze slightly. Then he scratched him fiercely and said through gritted teeth, "Who cares about you? Don't be so self-indulgent."
After he finished speaking, he still felt it was not enough, and continued: "I just think your calmness at the moment is frightening, and I am a little suspicious of you."
After he finished speaking, he deliberately let out a sarcastic laugh, "Chen Changli, you don't think you can't escape, so you deliberately stay so calm."
Chen Changli had a complicated expression when he heard this, and then he sighed: "It seems that the matter of Phoenix Gu is really important to the Eighth Prince, so much so that you can't stay calm."
Hearing this ridicule, Wan Shufang burst out laughing: "It's an important matter, but I think he said that because he is very defensive."
Old Lady Shang curled her lips and said, "I think he doesn't trust us, so he is always observing our every move and then taking the opportunity to cause trouble."
"Lord Ye is not such a person." Liu Ying heard the words of several people and saw that Ye Yun's face was not very good, so she quickly spoke up for him.
Old Lady Shang immediately glared at her and said unhappily, "Why are you helping him like this? Ye Yun is a very kind person. He may not appreciate your words even if you speak for him."
After saying that, she shook her head, poured out the medicine in the porcelain bottle and took it, then gave Liu Ying another pill.
"What kind of medicine is this?" Liu Ying was full of curiosity.
She thought the medicine was for Chen Changli, but she didn't expect Old Lady Shang to swallow it.
"There is a Gu King sealed in this medicine. After taking it, when we come into contact with the Phoenix Gu later, it will fall into a deep sleep."
When Liu Ying heard that there was a King Gu in the medicine, her heart suddenly felt as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing on her. She felt very uncomfortable and heavy.
“Do we have to take it?”
Liu Ying was very resistant to the Gu King entering her body. After all, Old Lady Shang's concern for her was only superficial, so she didn't dare to bet whether Old Lady Shang was planning to take this opportunity to put a Gu on her.
"If you don't want to, give the medicine to Wan Shufang." Old Lady Shang saw that Liu Ying's face was full of confusion, and she immediately knew what she was worried about.
She felt very uncomfortable because Liu Ying didn't trust her.
But when she thought about what Liu Ying had experienced, she understood.
"Give it to me." Wan Shufang didn't care about any rift between the two. She simply reached out to Liu Ying and asked for the Gu King.
"Shufang, don't be impulsive." Chen Changli was startled and quickly spoke up to stop her.
Wan Shufang smiled at him and said, "Old Lady Shang said before that she wanted to take me as her apprentice."
As she spoke, she glanced at Old Lady Shang and said with a smile on her face, "With the guidance of a capable senior like Old Lady Shang, my understanding of Gu techniques will only get better and better."
Hearing what she meant, Chen Changli immediately understood her intention. He couldn't help feeling a little guilty, but he didn't show it on his face.
After adjusting his mood, he said, "So that's what's going on. If that's the case, I really have to give this Gu King to you. It can't fall into the hands of outsiders."
Hearing the word "outsider", Liu Ying swallowed the Gu King abruptly, and then sarcastically said to Chen Changli: "The things my aunt gave me are all good things, how can I let you two get away with it?"
Chen Changli glanced at her and saw her disdainful expression. He smiled and nodded, saying, "You didn't care much before, so my husband and I wanted to help you. We never thought you would be so ungrateful."
"Provocation." Old Lady Shang specifically reminded.
Liu Ying's expression remained unchanged: "I know, but I really don't want them to be proud."
When Old Lady Shang heard this, her eyes turned red, but she said, "I did say before that I wanted to take Wan Shufang as my apprentice, but she refused."
"As for this Gu King, it took me more than 20 years to successfully refine it by imitating the Phoenix Gu, so I determined that it can calm the Phoenix Gu."
"But we can only know the specifics after we take out the Phoenix Gu. I can't guarantee you anything."
Old Lady Shang was very confident in her witchcraft skills, but when she really had to face the Phoenix Gu, she had to suppress her confidence to avoid being slapped in the face and being laughed at by Wan Shufang.
Liu Ying listened to her explanation and immediately understood what she meant by this. She comforted her immediately, "Aunt, no matter how powerful this Phoenix Gu is, it was developed by someone a hundred years ago. How can it compare to the Gu King that you have carefully developed?"
Phoenix Gu was developed by the ancestors of the Gu clan a hundred years ago. Although Emperor Dajing tried his best to list Phoenix Gu as a taboo, it is rumored that Phoenix Gu can make people immortal.
Over the past hundred years, I don’t know how many people have studied it.
Although the Gu Clan was influenced by the last emperor of the previous dynasty and suppressed by Dajing, and even the secret recipe for making Phoenix Gu was lost, over the past hundred years, the Gu Clan's research on Gu techniques has advanced several levels.
Therefore, no matter how powerful the rumors about Phoenix Gu were, Liu Ying didn't take them seriously.
Seeing Liu Ying's true attitude towards Phoenix Gu, for the sake of safety, Old Lady Shang specifically reminded her: "There are always people who are better than you, and there are always better than you."
Liu Ying frowned slightly when she heard this, then thought of the Eighth Prince's anticipation for the Phoenix Gu, and vaguely guessed that Old Lady Shang said this just in case.
She quickly restrained her expression and said, "Aunt, you are absolutely right. I am too arrogant."
Old Lady Shang was relieved to see her react so quickly, but she didn't show it on her face. She just smiled and said, "Use other poisonous insects to try the King of Poisons, and then put some blood on the ground."
The Gu people have been dealing with various poisonous insects since childhood, so the blood of the Gu people is very special.
The way that Old Lady Shang took out the Phoenix Gu was to use her own blood as the foundation, and then use the Gu King's attraction to the Phoenix Gu, combined with various poisons to draw the Phoenix Gu out of Chen Changli's body.
Wan Shufang understood everything and said immediately, "Your method is indeed feasible, but the Phoenix Gu underwent a transformation in the Wumeng Mountains, so it may not work as you wish."
