The witch took Miss Xue'er's hand and led her towards the Liu Mansion, her hand tightening again and again, as if it was a treasure that had been lost and found again.

Miss Xue'er looked at the servants walking back and forth along the way, constantly bowing to Liu Fufeng and them.

Obviously, he is not used to it.

This is exactly what the witch had told Miss Xueer before.

Just when she was feeling a little annoyed, Liu Fufeng stood beside her. His tall figure enveloped her entire body, making Miss Xueer feel inexplicably at ease.

She looked up and met Liu Fufeng's burning gaze, and then saw Liu Fufeng nodding slightly at her.

Liu Yueru, who was traveling with them, saw the interaction between the two.

He asked tentatively, "Brother, we have cleaned up a few more courtyards in your house. You are traveling with this girl. Would it be more appropriate for you to live in Tongyayuan or Xiaoxiangju?"

As Liu Yueru spoke, she looked at Liu Fufeng with a smile in her eyes.

His ears turned red instantly.

He stared at Miss Xue'er for a long while, then asked her, "Tongyayuan is a bit remote, not so lively. Xiaoxiangju is more lively, close to our yard, and convenient for talking. Would you like to live in Xiaoxiangju?"

Miss Xueer understood Liu Fufeng's question instantly. Tongyayuan was a guest room, just a place for temporary guests to stay.

Those that are close to the main house, especially those close to Liu Fufeng's courtyard, are mostly the courtyards where people live permanently.

Miss Xue'er looked at Liu Fufeng, who looked a little nervous. She then looked at the kind faces of everyone and nodded slightly as Liu Fufeng spoke.

A blush slowly appeared on her face, and then she looked in the direction of the witch.

Seeing that she had no intention of objecting, he slowly said, "Then you can live in Xiaoxiang Residence as you wish."

The joy on Liu Fufeng's face could be seen creeping up to the corners of his eyes.

Liu Yueru also hurriedly asked the servants to prepare all the supplies for Xiaoxiang Residence.

Then she asked the servant to take Miss Xueer to change clothes, and also had new clothes made according to her size.

Liu Yueru did not tell Liu Fufeng about Liu Zimo's disappearance, but just asked him to change into clean clothes first.

After the two of them left, Jiang Yishu was also invited over by the servants of the Liu Mansion.

But when he came, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and it was obvious that he was in a hurry to get on with his journey.

Jiang Yishu bowed to Liu Yueru and asked worriedly, "What happened that made you come to me at this time?"

Liu Yueru instructed the servant to serve tea to Jiang Yishu.

Motioned for him to sit down.

Then he slowly said, "Nothing, someone wants to meet you and ask you something."

The Gu Po had been staring at Jiang Yishu since she arrived, one of her eyes extremely sharp.

Jiang Yishu felt the strange look of the witch when he first came in.

But out of consideration for Liu Yueru, he still politely bowed to the witch and asked in a humble voice, "What can this old lady do for me?"

The witch stared at her with her bright eyes.

Jiang Yishu could clearly feel scrutiny, doubt, suspicion, and a hint of hatred in the other person's gaze.

Hate!

This made Jiang Yishu very puzzled. He had never had any contact with the old woman in front of him. Why was she looking at him with hatred?

Liu Yueru also noticed that there was something wrong with the way Gu Po looked at Jiang Yishu, so she called out softly, "Grandma?"

The witch came back to her senses and realized that her gaze was too sharp. She forced a smile on her face and said, "Sorry, I was rude just now."

Jiang Yishu waved his hands quickly; "No problem."

The witch took out the pills in her hand and asked Jiang Yishu bluntly, "I heard from Miss Liu that you got the recipes for these pills from me?"

Jiang Yishu was slightly stunned when he looked at the pill in her hand, and realized that the person in front of him was the Gu Po that Liu Yueru and the others had been talking about.

His expression quickly eased, and he explained to the Gu Po: "The recipe for this pill was also taught to me by a wandering old man a long time ago. At that time, I had just arrived in the southern region and was poisoned by someone. Then I met that old man who helped to remove the poison from my body and taught me some ways to control the poison."

"This thing is basically in the southern region. Most people know how to do it. Some of the experts can cast poison, remove it, and even make pills to suppress the poison."

Jiang Yishu looked up at the Gu Po.

Seeing her face turn pale, he asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Did I say something wrong?"

The witch shook her head, her voice trembling with forbearance; "But that old man is so tall, looks very thin, has a long beard, and doesn't like to groom himself?"

Jiang Yishu nodded repeatedly; "Yes, do you know him?"

The Gu Po's eyes instantly turned red. She stood up quickly, took a step forward, and looked at Jiang Yishu with some excitement. "I know him. Do you know where he is now? I want to find him. Can you tell me where he lives?"

"I also wanted to find him, but he was always elusive. After he taught me how to make these pills, I haven't seen him since."

Jiang Yishu saw the disappointed look on the Gu Po's face, and then said to her, "However, I heard from the people who lived there that the old man is a living god. Whenever there is a disaster caused by Gu poison, he will appear at the first time to help solve the local Gu poison. If the Gu incident in Kyoto this time can reach the old man's ears."

"I think he will come."

The witch nodded heavily.

All of the witch's things have been placed in a safe place and are under strict supervision.

It is not difficult to know from the conversation between the two that the old man is an old acquaintance of the Gu Po and they have a deep connection.

If the witch wants to take advantage of the serious poison this time to lure the old man out.

Then the people of Kyoto will suffer more.

She opened her mouth and said to the Gu Po in a gentle voice, "Grandma, if there is someone you want to look for, our Liu Mansion can send someone out to look for him. Once you have drawn the portrait, I believe that the person can be found soon."

She thought about it and continued to tell the witch about the current situation in Kyoto.

"More than half of the people in Kyoto City have been poisoned by the Gu. There are two types of people who have been poisoned. One type has taken this kind of restraining pill, and the other type has taken a pill with a stronger Gu poison. We have already put the Gu-eliminating water into the main water supply in Kyoto City. We now know exactly how many people can drink the water."

"At midnight tonight, those who didn't drink the poison-eliminating water will begin to show their evil spirits. They will roam the streets of Kyoto and use violence to break into dilapidated houses, harming innocent people."
