"I let go." Zi Hua gambled and swore, raising his finger: "I promise!"

  Zi Qi stared at the window outside, where the flowers were blooming vigorously, and bit her lip: "Then there are only two possibilities left, either Linlin didn't mix it well, or... she detoxified herself."

  "Ling definitely matched it, I'm afraid of making a mistake, yesterday I tasted a drop, the antidote was eaten late, and my head hurt for an hour! However, it's not Ling's problem, how could Huajou possibly solve it?"

  "She's standing right there in front of you, what can't be possible?"

  At this time, Zihua clenched her fist: "Is this stinky girl pretending?"

  "I was wrong about her, I really thought she was a useless person..."

  "Hiding one's true abilities! Hmph, if once isn't enough I'll come twice, if twice isn't enough I..."

  "Next time, I'll switch to an even more potent one." Zi Qi's eyes were gloomy and icy: "I don't believe she can still solve it."

  ……

  Light is projected from the air hole and shines in the dark room, forming a column of light.

  Grandma sat alone on the chair opposite the ancestral hall, rubbing a copper-made door knocker in the shape of an eye with her hands, staring at those rays of light, looking dazed.

  The secret door of Kala opened at this time, and Tang Jiuer walked in.

  "Grandma looked up at her and then lowered her eyes again, continuing to rub the doorframe: 'What is it?'"

  Tang Jiuer directly sat down in the chair beside her grandmother: "Has the Sect Master seen Wu Mochen's Five Directions Formation?"

  Grandma nodded.

  "What do you think..."

  Indeed, he was gifted with a special talent, his designs were far more brilliant than He's. ...A smile spread across Grandma's face.

  "What about the poisonous array?"

  "I think it's fine, how about you?" Grandma looked up at Tang Jiu'er: "You're not very satisfied?"

  "That poison is incurable."

  Grandma blinked her eyes again and lowered her head: "If there's no solution, then so be it. Since it's a defensive array, if the intruder dies, they deserve it."

  Tang Jiuer suddenly stood up: "If Murong Wu had entered such a five-element array at the beginning, he would have been dead. You've lost a great talent."

  "Grandma's lips pursed slightly as she looked up and said, 'So what?'"

  "I've paired with 'Toxic Dream', which can replace the main toxin in the array. At least... there's room for maneuver."

  "Both sets are ready, usually use Poison Dream, in case..." Her face suddenly showed a hint of a cold smile: "It can be an excellent hunting array."

  Tang Jiuer hesitated for a moment before nodding her head: "Okay."

  Tang Jiuer finished speaking and walked away.

  "Xiao Jiu, this poison, don't you feel a sense of familiarity?"

  Tang Jiuer was facing away from her grandmother at this moment, and upon hearing the words, she first closed her eyes to take a deep breath before turning around: "I don't have much of an impression, just some surprise that he could actually create such a poison."

  Grandma stared at Tang Jiuer, seeing the calmness in her eyes, and immediately lowered her eyelids: "I'm old, more useless than ever, so in your eyes, I should be old and muddled, with a bad memory?"

  Tang Jiuer's hands behind her back clenched into fists, turning white: "Master of the sect, I don't understand this..."

  "Don't you understand? Ha! You've concocted this poison yourself. You want to use it to save someone, thinking that by using poison to fight poison, you can suppress the toxins in that person's body."

  Tang Jiuer lowered her head and didn't say a word.

  "It's a pity, all in vain, and this poison reappears today... it may be a coincidence, or it may be a cause-and-effect event."

  Grandma said these words again staring at Tang Jiuer.

  "He's already dead, whether there's a solution or not is meaningless to me."

  Grandma smiled and nodded: "Perhaps!"

  Tang Jiuer turned her head and left, while Grandma continued to rub the door master's seal at a slow pace, but a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

  Longing for you... Should I believe this is a coincidence?

  Tang Jiuer returned to the courtyard with a gloomy face and ran into Linlin hanging up the washed clothes on the bamboo rack.

  She looked at Linlin's back and her eyes couldn't help but redden.

  "You wanted to use it to save a person, thinking that by doing so you could counteract the poison inside his body with another poison, but unfortunately, it was all in vain..."

  Tang Jiuer's body swayed slightly, and she reached out to grab the corridor pillar, her eyes fixed on Linlin.

  Sorry, Minglang, I couldn't save you, and I'm afraid...I won't be able to protect your daughter either.

  At this moment, Linlin was tidying up the clothes that had been hung out to dry, humming a little tune in her mouth, completely unaware that not far away, Tang Jiuer was looking at her with an uneasy gaze.

  ……

  Every morning, Hua Rou would arrive early at the medicine field and practice moves with Mu Junwu. After everyone else arrived, Mu Junwu would leave; At night, after handing over the herbs, Hua Rou did not rest but instead sat diligently at her desk practicing writing, studying hard.

  At this time when she was working hard, Zi Hua didn't idle around. Instead, he went around whispering to his disciples, who were all shocked and disgusted by what they heard.

  In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, and there is only one day left before the points exchange ends.

  Early this morning, Tang Lei, the host, smiled with satisfaction after carefully checking the account book: "The great achievement is complete, it's time to give my daughter a chance to vent."

  At noon, Hua Rou brought the box to submit the product and was surprised to find that except for two disciples who were responsible for receiving things and were chatting lazily in front of the table, there was almost no one in the usually bustling family workshop.

  Isn't it strange? Why is there nobody here? Did I remember the date wrong and the exchange has already ended?

  "Hua Rou asked in a soft and gentle voice as she walked forward: 'Two senior brothers, may I ask if you are still accepting items today?'"

  "Take it, why don't you take it?" The tall disciple lazily glanced at Hua Rou with a slanted gaze: "Which house are you from?"

  "Poison room." Hua Rou said as she handed over the box, and the slightly shorter one picked up a pen and wrote the word "poison" on the paper.

  At this moment, a tall disciple who had just put down the box suddenly pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve and slapped it in front of Hua Rou.

  Fine dust rose, filling Hua Rou's mouth and nose. She smelled a strong fragrance, and in that instant, she was stunned.

  This fragrance...... isn't it......

  At this time, a tall and thin man stared at her and rushed to her saying: "Now you go into the house, there is a candle in the house, you want to light it on fire and burn the house."

  Hua Rong stared blankly at him, her expression dull and lifeless.

  The dwarf saw her motionless and got up, muttering: "Strange, why isn't she moving?"

  Gao Gezi said again: "Hua Rou, you go into the house now, there are candles in the house, you want to light a fire and burn the house."

  Hua Rou's eyes flashed with a hint of anger at this moment, and she stared at the two: "Why should I set fire to the house?"

  The two disciples were shocked and jumped as if they had been struck by lightning.

  "You, you..."

  "What's wrong with you! Get your hands off!"

  The tall young man and his companion shouted in unison, overturning the table as they charged towards Hua Rou. Hua Rou hastily retreated, her feet instinctively using a swift pace to dodge, while she urgently cried out: "Someone come! Come quickly!"

  Tang Jing walked past the entrance of the Jiang's residence with a cold expression, and the faint sound of someone calling out to him came from inside. He glanced at the sign above the gate, then continued walking forward, clearly not wanting to pay attention to the call.

  But he stopped after taking just two steps.

  Is this... Hua Rou's voice?

  Tang Jing turned around and took a step back, only to see several people holding things in front of the house door, taking a glance before immediately turning around and leaving, as if fleeing.

  Tang Jin's eyebrows and eyes sank for a moment, her hand clenched tightly before she turned around and left again.

  In the courtyard, Huā Róu yelled and tried to escape, but was subdued by two senior brothers after a short time and knocked unconscious.

  The tall disciple's face turned pale with fear at this time: "Luckily, if we didn't complete the master's task, you and I would be in big trouble."

  "Stop talking nonsense, let's carry him inside and set fire quickly."
