A flash of cyan rushed towards Ling Yutong's door very quickly.
Although Qi Yan's blocking speed was fast enough, the cyan was too flexible, and the body was small and slippery, so it actually jumped over his shoulder!
Qi Yan's pupils shrank and he quickly turned around to block it again.
But when he turned around, he met Ling Yutong's surprised eyes first.
She was unscathed.
That touch of blue, that is, green bamboo, was peacefully wrapped around her arm obediently. Snake Xinzi vomited twice, and her vertical pupils were still cold-blooded, but inexplicably made people read it as cute.
Qi Yan: “???”
He was rarely in a daze.
When he turned his eyes, he found that others were doing the same.
Ruan Fu's eyes widened, as if he didn't expect to see such a scene.
Ross was also stunned, but his performance was the same as Ruan Fu, but different at the same time. His eyes were bright, and there was some kind of excitement in his pupils, but he was immediately suppressed.
The elder was also trying his best to suppress the emotions in his eyes, and his hands were trembling.
Although he can't see it, he can feel it.
Qingzhu had been his companion for so many years, how could he not notice whether it was in an aggressive mood or... joyful?
"Don't worry, Qingzhu didn't attack Miss Ling. Instead, it was...close to her."
"Look!"
Ross pointed in the direction of Ling Yutong, his eyes still shining slightly.
Everyone was also looking in her direction.
Ling Yutong lowered his head and looked at Qingzhu.
She was slightly afraid of this cold-blooded animal, but Qingzhu's approach and his eyes when he looked at her did not make her afraid.
On the contrary...it's somewhat close.
She wasn't nervous either, and raised her hand tentatively, wanting to touch it.
Ross and the elders both looked at her movements with some anticipation.
Qi Yan and Ruan Fu's first reaction was to stop them.
Ling Yutong finally put her hand on Qingzhu's head.
The skin of cold-blooded animals has a smooth touch, but other than that it's... cool.
Ling Yutong's eyebrows moved, a bit strange.
"Qingzhu, come back."
The elder spoke.
As if he understood, Qingzhu raised his head and looked back at the elder. However, it usually responded very sensitively to instructions, but at this moment, its body was motionless.
However, it didn't move, so they couldn't wait for it.
"Miss Ling, we are ready to start removing the poison. Qingzhu seems to like you very much. We can't force it to leave your arm, we can only trouble..."
"good."
Ling Yutong deserved to be happy. Unlike Qi Yan and Ruan Fu, who were tense for a moment, apart from the surprise at the beginning, she was now only calm and inexplicably... close to something she didn't feel very clearly.
Qi Yan's frown did not relax.
The words of instruction came to his lips, but looking at her appearance, he still didn't say them out.
Ruan Fu approached silently.
It is hard to meet people from the Medicine Valley. He needs to carefully observe the methods of removing poison, so as to accumulate his own abilities.
The room was very quiet for a while.
The silver needle was burnt by fire, and the tip became even brighter. Ling Yutong closed her eyes as she was told. For some reason, she wasn't nervous at all.
On the contrary, she felt very at ease, and there was an inexplicable thought in her mind: Her poison would definitely be solved this time.
There is a slightly heavy feeling on the arm, which is the presence of Qingzhu.
When the silver needle is inserted into the skin, it will feel hot and stinging.
She couldn't help but frown.
Qi Yan also pursed his lips, as if he felt the same as her.
Only Ruan Fu lowered his head and watched Rose's movements carefully, as if doing research, not wanting to miss any detail.
Ross moved quickly, without any intention of teaching.
But he didn't stop Ruan Fu's movements. Although he didn't slow down his movements, he moved out of the way to make it easier for the other party to watch.
"Well..."
A muffled groan.
Ling Yutong frowned, and her pain could be felt just from the wrinkles between her brows.
Qi Yan's heart tightened.
Then, he watched helplessly as cold sweat broke out on Ling Yutong's forehead, and his whole body began to tremble, as if the pain was unbearable.
A small bulge came out from under her skin, exactly where the silver needles were.
The elder's quick eyesight and quick hands caught the Gu worm the moment it came out of its flesh.
"alright."
While working on his feet, Ross closed his eyes and started collecting needles.
Everyone's heart felt relaxed for a moment.
Qi Yan couldn't help but ask: "Why is there only one Gu worm?" He clearly remembered that she had been infected twice.
The person who answered him was Ross.
"Only one."
He is sure.
"But from her pulse, I did find two traces. Maybe you don't know that there is a devouring relationship between the Gu worms. Therefore, there is only one Gu worm left in her body. There is only one reason."
"The stronger one devours the weaker one."
The elder said: "You arrived in time, and this little friend surnamed Ruan served as a buffer for Miss Ling. Otherwise, after the strong Gu worm devoured the weak one, the next step would be to suck Miss Ling's bones and blood."
Already."
Qi Yan pursed his lips and nodded, indicating that he was taught.
"Thank you."
He and Ruan Fu stood up almost at the same moment and bowed to Ross and the elder.
Unexpectedly, the elder and Rose were about to retreat to the side at the same time, apparently as if... not accepting their greetings.
Ling Yutong opened his eyes and saw this scene.
Her eyes were a little moist from being closed for a long time, and her hazy emotions were dissipating little by little.
"How do you feel now?"
Ruan Fu asked everyone's questions.
Ling Yutong said slowly: "If you want to describe it, it would be like...the feeling of relaxation after sleeping well?"
She blinked, and her eyes were filled with smiles. She was greedy for the long-lost relaxation in her body, and her eyes seemed to be shining when she spoke.
"So, memory?"
Ruan Fu looked at her expectantly.
If the Gu bug that affected her disappears, can the affected memory also... be restored?
But, no.
Ling Yutong looked at him blankly and asked: "What?"
Ruan Fu's expression froze.
Qi Yan's heart also sank.
The hands in his sleeves were clenched quietly, but on his face, he was restrained and did not show any signs of depression.
Ross and the elder didn't know what they were talking about. Just when they were about to ask, Ruan Fu noticed it and reacted quickly to stop them.
"Well... Rose, can you tell me more about... how you determined it just now?"
"Also, Elder, if you put away the Gu, won't it have any impact on yourself?"
"And...how to deal with it?"
Ruan Fu opened his eyes wide.
Ross was stunned for a moment. It wasn't until he saw Ruan Fu blinking at him crazily that he suddenly realized the other party's efforts. So he pulled the elder and hurriedly responded: "Oh, that's very simple, but what I want to tell you, I have to find a reference, otherwise we
Go next door and talk?"
"Miss Ling needs to rest, so I will leave Mr. Qi alone to take care of her, okay?"
Before the three left, Ross turned back and smiled.
However, without waiting for a response, the three of them walked out together.
Ling Yutong didn't even respond, and was faced with the silence of the room.
Qi Yan said: "Close your eyes and rest for a while."
"Well, okay, but...it..."
Ling Yutong closed his eyes, then opened them again, and Qingzhu stared with big eyes.
"..."
*
"Oops, it seems that Qingzhu was not taken away by us."
Ross, who had already led someone to the next room, said dully.
Ruan Fu's eyelids twitched: "Ah, then... let's go back now and bring it over."
Although he thought the snake was quite cold and felt a little scared, he was even more worried when the snake stayed with Ling Yutong.
The elder raised his hand: "No, Qingzhu will not hurt Miss Ling."
His tone was calm, his head tilted towards Ruan Fu.
Although his eyes were not actually looking at Ruan Fu, Ruan Fu could feel a line of sight in a daze, even if it was actually air.
"You called us all out because you have something to say about Miss Ling."
"yes."
Ruan Fu became serious when he mentioned this.
"..."
"What!? Amnesia?"
"No, to be more precise, it should be said that the memory is...disordered."
Ruan Fu didn't know how to describe it, so she had to tell Ross and the elders what actually happened and what Ling Yutong said she thought happened.
At this moment, although both parties are not completely honest, the information that has been exchanged... is all true.
The corners of the elder's mouth were curled down, and he was so serious that he was almost cold.
Ross couldn't help but glance at the elder.
That prophecy seems to have come true.
Finally, the elder sighed and said, "Can you stay in the valley for a few more days?"
"We have never seen people with memory disorders, but they all appear in people who are old, crazy, and have incomplete personal consciousness. We have never... seen this happen to people of Miss Ling's age."
"so……"
"We have encountered a problem. If possible, I hope you can give us some time."
Ruan Fu did not expect the elder's attitude to be so sincere.
But his silence was interpreted by the elder as: "Is the room arranged now not comfortable enough?"
"We can make a replacement so that you can enjoy the highest courtesy in the valley."
"No, I should enjoy it. Miss Ling and Mr. Qi are both people we consider to be destined."
Ruan Fu's pupils dilated and he glanced at the furnishings around him hesitantly.
Well, it's the room next door, and the furnishings are almost the same.
Isn't this... the highest courtesy?
When he didn't respond again, the elder pursed his lips and panicked a little. He really wanted them to stay longer. It wasn't just a matter of fate or not. He had already confirmed that Ling Yutong was the person they had been waiting for for many years. If they missed it again this time,
That……
Ross realized that the elder was going to add more pressure, so he hurriedly said: "Doctor Ruan should discuss it with Miss Ling and Mr. Qi? It's not easy for me to decide on this matter."
He didn't think there was anything wrong with the elders adding too much power, but he was afraid that they would be too active and make Ruan Fu suspicious. It would be bad if he suspected that they were just being generous on the surface but actually being petty and scheming...
"Ah, yes."
Ross's voice finally made Ruan Fu come to his senses and respond.
The elder felt a little relieved and said, "Well, you guys have a good night's rest first, and we'll come back to visit you tomorrow."
"good."
…
The elder exhaled heavily, but he could not suppress the joy on his face.
He was so happy that he couldn't speak. He held Rose's hand and was speechless for a long time.
Ross was also happy, but his reason was still there, and he said in a low voice: "Elder, please don't show it to your face. We still have to report this matter to the owner of the valley."
"How to tell Miss Ling specifically, you still have to listen to the Valley Master."
"The top priority now is to take back the green bamboo."
"Qingzhu is the most obvious one. He doesn't hide his emotions. We can't let the girl find out the clues in advance because of him!"
The elder nodded immediately: "Yes, you are right."
"I'm going now, I'm going now."
The elder's pace suddenly became particularly energetic, and even his pace was much faster than usual.
Ross watched from behind and couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.
How many years has it been?
How many years has he not seen the elder look so energetic and hopeful?
All this is because of... girl.
*
Inside the room, Ling Yutong and Qi Yan stared at each other, not knowing what to do.
Ling Yutong moved her arms, and the green bamboo coils were very comfortable. He even followed her movements and raised his head to look at her.
Hmm... I don't know what she looks like in its eyes?
Qi Yan hesitated and said, "Why don't I try to move it away."
Ling Yutong blinked, but before he could respond, Qi Yan raised his hand.
However, before his hand came close to Qingzhu, Qingzhu seemed to have been alerted to his movement trajectory in advance, and his body suddenly retreated. Snake Xinzi vomited crazily. In addition, there were tiny sounds...
Ling Yutong was a little nervous and quickly retreated.
She was afraid of hurting Qi Yan.
Qi Yan was also afraid of angering the snake and hurting her.
There was a stalemate for a while.
Qi Yan frowned and found that after he withdrew his hand, Qingzhu was no longer aggressive visibly.
It seemed that he was not allowed to get close to her.
Why?
Ling Yutong only realized this, pursed his lower lip and said, "Ah, this..."
"Then why don't I take a rest later? Master should have finished asking for advice soon..."
"Um?"
It was at this moment that the elder knocked on the door.
"May I come inside?"
He asked politely, and his appearance was exactly what both of them wanted.
Qi Yan went to open the door.
"I'm here to take away Qingzhu."
The elders are harmonious.
Qi Yan's gaze lingered on the elder's eyes for a moment, and he realized that blindness could not affect the other's actions, so he lowered his subconscious hand to help.
"Qingzhu, come here."
A gentle and old voice sounded. This time, the green bamboo did not grind. Its vertical pupils seemed to look at Ling Yutong one more time lustfully, and then it quickly jumped back to the elder's side.
Familiar posture.
Ling Yutong raised his eyes and pursed his lips.
She should have breathed a sigh of relief, but she felt... inexplicably a little empty.
Before leaving, the elder turned around and said, "Doctor Ruan is in the next room. He will discuss some things with you later. I would like to ask you two to agree."
After saying this, he nodded to them and walked out of the room.
Qi Yan and Ling Yutong looked at each other.
Don't say anything?
But they soon knew that Ruan Fu came in with just a few clicks.
As soon as he came, he said: "They are sincere and invite us to stay in the valley for a few days."
"What do you think?"
Ling Yutong was a little confused, but didn't speak immediately.
Qi Yan, on the other hand, lowered his eyes, his eyes filled with emotion, as if he already knew why.
"good."
He answered first.
Ruan Fu followed closely and said: "I think so too."
Both of them agreed, and Ling Yutong naturally had no reason not to agree.
After deliberately staying at the door for a while, the corner of the elder's mouth suddenly curled up when he heard Ling Yutong's reply.
Yeah, it’s done!
On the other side, Ross has also arrived outside the door of the valley owner's house.
"Knock knock."
Ross felt that his palms were so nervous that they were sweating. He had not been so nervous in perhaps more than ten years.
"Enter."
A majestic voice sounded.
Ross calmed down and climbed up the stairs.
"What's the matter?"
The Valley Master was obviously a busy man. Like the elders, the Ross people came in, but he didn't give any reaction. He still lowered his head and didn't know what he was looking at.
Ross took a casual look and knew it was difficult writing that he couldn't understand.
