Gu Jue stares dumbfounded, says with shock, "Da-shixiong, how were you poisoned."

She appears completely anxious and hurried, seeming to not know what would be best. Mo Qingfeng gently takes her by her shoulders, whispering comfortingly, "Madam doesn't need to be anxious, let me first go take a look."

At this time, Gu Jue seems to remember that her husband is a doctor.

She can't help faintly feeling a blush of shame over her panic and helplessness just then. She hurriedly lets Mo Qingfeng invite Zhao Jiangui into the room, checking his pulse for him. After confirming that the poison really isn't something life-threatening, Gu Jue relaxes her breathing a little.

"It's not some huge problem." Mo Qingfeng says, "After taking the antidote, in five days at most, the properties of the medicine will counteract it."

Zhao Jiangui nods his head, "Many thanks."

"Family doesn't need to be this polite." Mo Qingfeng says with a smile, "It's just there's something I don't understand. Thinking on da-shixiong's gongfu, how were you able to be so easily poisoned."

Zhao Jiangui knows Mo Qingfeng probably thinks it's from some concealed weapon or that another person had applied poison to their weapon. He doesn't know how to open his mouth and explain, forced to shut up wordlessly.

Yu Xian'er is sitting at the side drinking tea, and hearing Mo Qingfeng asking as such, laughter inevitably rises up.

Mo Qingfeng really doesn't know who he is, only that he's da-shixiong's friend in Jianghu. He sees him burst out laughing, however, and is embarrassed to inquire.

The youth takes Mo Qingfeng's prescription and goes ahead to cook the medicine, Xiao Lin follows to take care of it, and Gu Jue's heart has calmed down. Frowning as she thinks for a while, she finally can't help opening her mouth to ask, "Da-shixiong, there's an issue, answer me honestly."

Zhao Jiangui asks, "What is it?"

Gu Jue says, "Did you really kill Mengzhu's top disciple?"

In the beginning when the Haoran Alliance found Zhao Jiangui and proposed this matter, they basically never informed his master's sect of this thing. At this time, he also doesn't know where to start, he generally shouldn't tell shimei it was so he could seduce the Demon Sect Leader but then he has no choice but to pretend he killed Mengzhu's top disciple.

Furthermore, this seduction had failed from the start, since he's the one who took the bait and got seduced. Talking of this affair is really far too shameful, he also doesn't want to say the details, that's all.

Zhao Jiangui is forced to say, "I really didn't kill him. This was merely the strategy Mengzhu ordered to have me infiltrate the Demon Sect, that's all."

Gu Jue asks, "Bashan Daxia saw da-shixiong leaving along with that Demon, was that another momentary strategy?"

Zhao Jiangui summons up the courage to answer, "Yes."

"That's fine." Gu Jue releases a breath, "Although we both didn't believe da-shixiong would do that kind of thing, our old Shifu, however, is worrying day and night."

Zhao Jiangui says, "You can rest assured."

He suddenly recalls bringing up Yan Daifu's affairs with Yu Xian'er, soon asking, "Qingfeng, did you have a doctor surnamed Yan in the valley?"

Mo Qingfeng is dumbfounded, "Can da-shixiong be talking about Yan Shidi?"

Naturally after Yu Xian'er said those things, Zhao Jiangui already felt perhaps there simply isn't this person Yan Daifu on this earth, but he didn't think Mo Qingfeng would answer like this. He's inevitably also a bit reluctant.
