Li Wanji followed Gong Lanzhu to the Qilin clan's tent, but did not see Gong Yihuai.

"Madam Gong, where is Yi Huai?"

Gong Lanzhu looked embarrassed and hesitated, "Um...Yi Huai...it's not convenient for him to meet people right now."

"Why?"

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Patriarch Li. The location where Yi Huai was poisoned is somewhat special. This child has always valued his reputation, and I was also worried that the servants would spread rumors, so I placed him in a secret room for recuperation."

Li Wanji raised her eyebrows, feeling something was wrong, but she did not show it on her face.

"In that case, I will go to the secret room to visit him."

Gong Lanzhu waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, no, Patriarch Li, the secret room is full of traps and is very dangerous. Moreover, the secret room is small and the air is not circulating. It may be inconvenient to treat patients there."

"How about I ask my servants to bring Yi Huai out and let Patriarch Li treat him here?"

Li Wanji's suspicions grew even stronger, and she also wanted to test the true intentions of this Gong lady, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Gong lady."

While waiting, Gong Lanzhu ordered someone to bring some food, including a pot of warm wine and two plates of exquisite snacks.

"Chief Li, I heard from Yi Huai that you like sweets, so I specially prepared these snacks for you, as well as this pot of honey wine that is unique to our Qilin tribe. Try it and see if you like it."

Li Wanji picked up the wine glass and took a sip, praising: "This wine really tastes unique, sweet but not greasy, very delicious."

However, she did not relax her vigilance, but only took small sips and did not eat too much. She also only sipped the wine and did not drink it deeply.

In fact, the food given by Mrs. Gong was not poisonous, but she faintly tasted an unusual smell.

This breath came from a spiritual herb, and Li Wanji was very familiar with this spiritual herb. It was the main ingredient used to refine "Hehuan Powder" - "Meixin Grass".

This herb itself is not poisonous, but when mixed with certain other herbs, it can be made into a powerful aphrodisiac.

Drugs popular in the Great Wilderness, such as the "Charming Heart Powder", "Soul-Intoxicating Incense", "Love Pills", "Confusing God Pills" and "Tender Bone-Eroding Dew", are all made with Charming Heart Grass as the main ingredient.

Li Wanji gently put down her wine glass, and she already understood about 70% of what was going on. It seemed that this so-called "visiting the patient" was not as simple as it seemed.

Things are really getting more and more interesting!

"Patriarch Li, the land of Wangchuan is extremely cold. This warm wine can drive away the cold and warm your body. Please drink a few more cups." Gong Lanzhu urged him to drink again, with an unknown light flashing in his eyes.

Li Wanji smiled slightly and pretended to be ignorant and picked up the wine glass: "Madam Gong is so kind, Wanji would be disrespectful to refuse it."

As she spoke, she took another sip of wine, then put down the glass and asked casually, "Madam Gong, where did Yi Huai get poisoned?"

Gong Lanzhu hesitated for a moment before answering, "The day before yesterday on the battlefield, he was chasing an enemy general and was accidentally shot by a hidden arrow. The arrow was laced with this poison."

Li Wanji nodded and asked, "Has the enemy general been captured?"

"Alas, he escaped." Gong Lanzhu sighed, "We are also tracking down his whereabouts. Once we find him, we will not let him off easily!"

Li Wanji thought to herself: With Gong Yihuai's cultivation level at the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, there are few enemies who can hurt him, let alone attack him with poison arrows.

This was obviously a self-directed drama, and the purpose was probably to lure her here.

After realizing this, Li Wanji felt relieved.

Since the other party has gone to great lengths to set up this trap, she wants to see what tricks they are trying to play.

Li Wanji picked up a piece of exquisite dessert and said, "Madam Gong, this dessert is a rare delicacy. I wonder who made it?"

Gong Lanzhu's eyes flashed with pride: "This is made by the cook in my tribe. She is an excellent cook. If Chief Li likes it, I can ask her to make more for him to take home."

"That's not necessary. Delicious food is hard to come by. It's enough to taste it occasionally."

"Then Chief Li, would you like to drink a few more cups of honey wine?" Gong Lanzhu urged again, "This wine not only has a unique taste, but also helps with cultivation."

Li Wanji smiled lightly and raised her glass: "In that case, I will have a few more cups."

She knew clearly in her mind that the honey wine must have been mixed with Charming Heart Grass. Although the amount was not much, if she drank it continuously, it would accumulate enough medicinal effects.

After a few drinks, Li Wanji pretended to be tipsy, propped her forehead with her hand, and looked at Gong Lanzhu with a dazed look: "Madam Gong, why hasn't Yi Huai come out yet? I'm quite drunk."

Gong Lanzhu saw this and a sly look flashed in his eyes: "Patriarch Li, please be patient. I think the servants are a little slow. Come, have a few more drinks. I have sent someone to urge them to finish their work."

Li Wanji laughed secretly in her heart, but pretended to be drunk. After drinking a few more glasses, she slumped over the table as if she was drunk.

After a while, she heard Gong Lanzhu quietly instruct the servants: "Help her to the secret room, and be quick."

Li Wanji was helped up by two people. She opened her eyes slightly and saw that she was being taken to a remote courtyard. She became more clear in her mind.

She was helped into a secret room. The room was dimly lit with only a few flickering lights.

She was placed on a stone bed and the two men withdrew.

Li Wanji staggered to her feet and called out, "Yi Huai, Yi Huai, where are you?"

Her voice echoed in the secret room, but no one answered.

Li Wanji laughed secretly in her heart. She knew that Gong Yihuai was not here. All this was just Gong Lanzhu's plan.

But we can't really be trapped here, what if...

Li Wanji didn't dare to think about it too much, and immediately began to look for the exit of the secret room.

She looked around and found that the secret room was full of traps and hidden weapons, obviously to prevent anyone from escaping or breaking in.

However, these agencies posed no threat to Lee Wan-hee.

With her current level of cultivation, she easily avoided all the traps and reached the other end of the secret room.

There was a stone door with intricate patterns and spells carved on it.

Li Wanji observed it carefully, then took out a silver needle from her bosom and tapped it gently on the stone door.

As she knocked, the patterns on the stone door gradually lit up, emitting a faint light.

Suddenly, the stone door opened with a bang, revealing a passage.

Li Wanji smiled slightly and walked into the passage.

The passage is inlaid with luminous pearls on both sides, making the passage as bright as day.

She walked along the corridor for about a cup of tea and came to a spacious hall.

There is a huge stone table in the center of the hall, which is filled with delicacies and fine wines.

The hall is surrounded by soft curtains and luxurious furnishings, making it look extremely romantic.

Li Wanji looked around and thought to herself: Gong Lanzhu really put a lot of thought into building such a place under the secret room.
