Outside the door, Yu Wan met Gu Lady.
Gu Lady was originally not very happy with this matter, but after seeing Yu Wan, she suddenly felt the pleasure of revenge. Didnât this village girl kill her Gu worm? Then she would sleep with her man! Letâs see if she feels uncomfortable!
Gu Lady crossed her arms and leaned against the door frame, looking at Yu Wan smugly.
Yu Wan could not be bothered with her and walked forward.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
When she brushed past Gu Lady, she said for the first time, âBeg me. Perhaps I can plant a Gu in your body and turn you into a Gu Lady so that you can detoxify your man.â
Yu Wan said indifferently, âIf such a thing was so simple, would you have to do it yourself?â
Of course, itâs not that simple, but thereâs a powerful Gu King in your body. Youâre more suitable to cure Yan Jiuchao than me, but I wonât tell you!?Gu Lady smiled evilly. âYoung Master Yan is so good. So what if I want to sacrifice myself to him!â
Yu Wan said, âThen you have to seize the opportunity.â
âI will!â Gu Lady smiled coldly.
Her laughter was too annoying. Yu Wan really wanted to slap her.
Gu Lady seemed to have read her mind and approached Yu Wan smugly. âHit me. If you kill me, your sweetheart will be hopeless.â
Yu Wan knew that she was deliberately angry at her. She took a deep breath, suppressed her boiling anger, and returned to her room.

âSis, Sis, Iâm done!â In the room, Little Bruiser pulled Yu Wanâs sleeve.
Yu Wan nodded. âI know youâre done memorizing it. You memorized two places wrongly. Itâs âDragon Master Huo Di, Bird Official Human Sovereignâ, not âBird Palace Human Sovereignâ, âZhou Fa Yin Tangâ, and not âZhou Fa Yin Shangâ. Do you remember everything?â
Little Bruiser was speechless. His sister looked distracted. He thought she was fine, but she even pointed out such a small mistake.
Sis was so scary!
âSis, is there something on your mind?â Little Bruiser blinked at Yu Wan. There were some things that Yu Wan didnât say, but he could more or less sense his sisterâs emotions.
Sis was not happy. She was even more unhappy than when she found out that he was fighting with Doggie.
Yu Wan unbuttoned his crooked buttons and buttoned them up. âNot really. Itâs just that someone else took a bite of the fat meat that I finally took a fancy to.â
Little Bruiser thought for a while. âOh, then Iâll let Sis eat meat first in the future.â
Yu Wan smiled faintly. âItâs not our meat.â Children were so innocent. How nice.
Yu Wan said, âItâs fine. Go and play. Remember to keep the book.â
âOkay!â At the thought of having fun, Little Bruiser couldnât care less and hurriedly put away the table. âLittle brother! Little brother!â
As she shouted, he went next door to look for the three little munchkins.
Yu Wan heard the sound of water being turned on next door and vaguely smelled the fragrance of soap. It was Gu Lady bathing. She deliberately made such a big commotion, clearly for her to see. She was telling her that she was going to detoxify Yan Jiuchao soon.
With her hearing, it should not be difficult for her to hear their movements. Yu Wan felt that it was best for her not to stay in the village for the time being. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold it in and rushed over to pull Gu Lady off Yan Jiuchaoâs bed.
âAh Wan!â Yu Fengâs voice sounded outside the door.
âBig Brother, whatâs wrong?â Yu Wan left the room.
Yu Feng paused at the door and said to Yu Wan, âIâll send my father to the Capital to treat his leg. Do you have anything to bring to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion?â
âNo, the payment has been made and the goods have been distributed.â Yu Wan paused and suddenly said, âIâll go to the Capital with you.â
âUhâ¦â Yu Feng was stunned. âCan you leave?â Didnât she have to take care of Yan Jiuchao?
That guy had someone taking care of him now and was even taking good care of him. He was quite lucky with women. Yu Wan lowered her eyes and smiled. âI can leave. I can go to the Capital to buy something.â
âIs it a medical book?â Yu Feng asked.
Gu Lady would soon resolve Yan Jiuchaoâs poison curse. She was afraid that she would never need medical books again. Yu Wan sighed and nodded. âYes, itâs medical books.â
Yu Feng did not suspect anything. He asked Shuanzi to rush over the ox cart and drive the family to town.
Shuanzi drove the ox cart back to the village and they changed to a carriage.
At this moment, Yu Song could tell that something was wrong with Yu Wan. Yu Wan was usually quiet, but not as quiet as she was now.
Yu Feng and his father exchanged glances. Uncle shook his head, indicating for him to stop talking.
Yu Feng sighed and swallowed his words.
Near noon, the carriage arrived at Baozhi Hall. Yu Feng helped his father off the carriage. Doctor Ji was already waiting. When he saw the two of them, he walked over with a smile. âMaster Yu, how are you feeling?â
Uncle smiled and said, âIâm much more energetic than before. Iâll take a few steps for you to see!â
âGood, good!â Doctor Ji let go of Uncle.
Uncle handed the walking stick to his son and walked step by step in the pharmacy with his trembling legs. He was still a little slow, but he was not limping like before.
Doctor Ji was overjoyed. âYou recovered very well!â
Uncle said, âDoctor Jiâs medical skills are brilliant!â
Doctor Ji teased, âNo matter how brilliant it is, you have to be willing to let me treat it. Back then, you didnât want to treat it because it was expensive, right?â
Uncle smiled awkwardly. Thatâs right, he and his son did not plan to treat it. It was Ah Wan who insisted. Ah Wan even borrowed money from Yan Jiuchao. Thinking about it now, it was all thanks to her.
Uncle looked back at the carriage and saw that Yu Wan was no longer in the carriage.
âWhereâs your sister?â Uncle asked Yu Feng.
Yu Feng replied, âTo buy books.â
Yu Wan had indeed entered the bookstore, but she was not buying books. She was just out to relax.
Yu Wan opened it in front of the bookshelf. The shopkeeper walked over and said politely, âMiss, what book do you want? Iâll help you find it.â
âThereâs no need. Iâll just take a look.â Yu Wan walked around the study and didnât see any books she liked. Instead, she took a fancy to a set of calligraphy and bought it for Little Bruiser.
Yu Wan carried calligraphy set out of the study and was about to cross the street to Baozhi Hall when a strange commotion suddenly came from an alley not far away. Then, she heard a familiar voice.
In order to confirm her guess, Yu Wan walked towards the alley.
When she arrived at the alley, the commotion had already ended. There were still traces of blood on the ground. A man in green was kneeling on one knee, holding his body that could fall at any time with his sword. He held his bleeding stomach with his other hand.
âYu Zigui?â Yu Wan probed.
The man in green turned around, a trace of extreme shock in his eyes. âWhy is it you?â
Yu Wan looked at him as if she was watching a good show. âHow did the number one swordsman in the world get injured? Arenât you very powerful? I was forced down the cliff by you.â
Yu Zigui could tell that Yu Wan was mocking hi,. He frowned slightly and forced himself to stand up. He said coldly, âWho caused this?â
Yu Wan smiled faintly. âIt canât be me.â
Yu Zigui endured the pain in his wound and said, âWhy couldnât it be you? If you hadnât lost the thing in the brocade pouch, why would I be hunted down by my master? Now, everyone thinks that I stole it and forced me to hand it over, but how can I hand it over? What can I hand over?â
Yu Wan was so angry that she laughed. âThis is your own business. You canât blame others. Who asked you to stuff the brocade pouch into my basket without warning back then? Itâs not my fault even if I lost it. Besides, Iâve already returned the brocade pouch to you. What else do you want? You always say that the thing inside is gone, but have you ever thought that someone might have taken it away before you placed the brocade pouch in my basket?â
Yu Zigui retorted, âImpossible! I even checked in the dilapidated temple. That thing is clearly still there!â
Yu Wan raised her eyebrows and said, âSo be it. Why are you so fierce! Even if I really took it, what can you do to me? Look at your half-dead appearance. Do you still want to snatch it back?â
âYouâ¦â Yu Zigui pointed his sword at Yu Wan. Just as he circulated his internal energy, he spat out a mouthful of blood. He knelt on one knee again and barely supported his broken body with his sword.
Yu Wan was completely relieved.
Yu Wan walked towards him step by step. âYu Zigui, do you think anyone will know if I kill you now?â
âYouâ¦â
Yu Wan looked down at him. âWhat about me? Shouldnât I have killed you? You forced me repeatedly and even forced me off the cliff. Do you think these debts can be written off just because you said that you never wanted to kill me? Should I be grateful to you just because you didnât reveal me to your master? Yu Zigui, Iâm not that kind.â
Yu Zigui looked at Yu Wan suspiciously. Was this girl really not that kind to him, or was she implying something else?
Yu Wan pulled out her dagger.
Yu Zigui instinctively swung his sword to block his vital point. âAs long as you hand over the Gu King, I promise to disappear completely in front of you in the future!â
Yu Wan was stunned. âWhat did you say? Gu King?â
