Huangfu Ruiling nodded “Since you know the reason, are you confident that you can cure her?”

His tone was still as calm as ever as if he didn’t really care about Ye Leng’an’s answer and was just asking in a formulaic manner.

Ye Leng’an nodded. “Since we know the reason, she can be cured. However, there are only two ways to lure the venomous worms out of the patient’s body.”

The countenance of Huangfu Ruiling’s face did not change at all. But when Li Yi looked at Ye Leng’an, his eyes were glaring.

During these years, they had consulted countless doctors, but there was never a conclusion. But now, Ye Leng’an said there was a way to cure it. He couldn’t help but look forward to it.

Ye Len’gan continued, “The first method is to use medicinal herbs to make pills to lure the venomous worms out of her brain. And the second way is, if we can find the Gu King, we can use it to destroy the other venomous worms in the patient’s brain. But…

“But what?” Huangfu Ruiling raised his eyebrows. “Is there any difficulty?”

“Yes.” Ye Leng’an nodded. “No matter which method we use, it’s not simple. The first method requires a lot of herbs, but it is not that easy to gather them. The most difficult ones to obtain are the Yuanyang Flower and the Baizhe Wood. Yuanyang Flower can not be artificially cultivated and only grows in the wild. It takes ten years to grow and twenty years to bloom. Moreover, it only grows on the cliffs, especially the cliffs of the southern boundaries. As for the Baizhe Wood, it must be at least fifty years old. You can buy the other medicinal herbs at a high price, but only the Yuanyang Flower and Baizhe Wood can’t be obtained with money. Moreover, these two herbs are only available in the southern boundaries.”

Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “What if we choose the second method?”

“That’s even more difficult.” Ye Leng’an continued, “Although I don’t have a thorough understanding of the Gu poison of the southern boundaries, I do know that a Gu King is rare. No one is willing to bring out the Gu King. Moreover, if we want to lure the Gu King out, the owner of the Gu King must be present. Otherwise, if the Gu King loses control, everyone present may suffer.”

In fact, what she did not mention was that other than these two methods, she had a more convenient and faster way to lure out the venomous worms, which was to use her spiritual energy to take them out. However, this would consume a lot of her spiritual energy. After taking out the worms, she would probably not be able to recover for a long time.

Although she had promised to help save the patient, she would not sacrifice her health. Also, as to the patient lying on the bed at this moment, it was not worth doing so.

Huangfu Ruiling gave her a nod. “I got it. Write down the herbs you need. I will send someone to find them. However, after gathering the medicinal ingredients, I need you to help me make pills and lure out the venomous worms.”

“Of course.” Ye Leng’an nodded. “Since I’ve agreed, I’ll naturally take responsibility until the end.”

“It’s getting late. Why don’t we go have dinner together?” Huangfu Ruiling suddenly extended an invitation.

Ye Leng’an paused for a moment. She looked at Huangfu Ruiling and swallowed, subconsciously wanting to refuse, “I think…”

However, before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Huangfu Ruiling. “I think you won’t refuse my invitation! Anyway, we are a family! At least, we are on the same household register.”

Her refusal died on her lips when she heard that. She forced a fake smile and said, “Why would I? It’s my honor to have dinner with you.”

In a restaurant on the top floor of a high-class hotel.

Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an sat opposite each other. The atmosphere was a little strange.

Huangfu Ruiling sat there quietly. He seemed to be looking at Ye Leng’an but also seemed not. Ye Leng’an, on the other hand, ignored his gaze and stared at the tablecloth in front of her, as if she was very interested in the patterns on it.

Li Yi did not follow Huangfu Ruiling here, so there were only two of them sitting there in silence. In this quiet restaurant, there was a bizarre atmosphere between the two of them.

Ye Leng’an sighed in her heart. If she had known it earlier, she would not have agreed to have dinner with him no matter what he said.

Now, she felt that this meal would really give her indigestion. She did not know why he suddenly asked her out for a meal.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

“Brother Nangong, the environment here is really good.” The silvery voice was full of the vigor of a young girl. “I’ve never been to such a place before! ‘

“As long as you like it. The food here is very good. Try it later. If you like it, I’ll bring you here next time.”

Ye Leng’an raised her eyebrows and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw a familiar figure slowly walking into the restaurant. It was none other than Ye Xiyuan..
