"I’ve been poisoned, the poison has sealed my vital energy, taking away all my strength," Gu Huaijin said as soon as Gu Zhiqi checked his pulse, immediately addressing Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi nodded slightly, her fingertips touched the bracelet, and she pulled out an acupuncture kit, "I’ll first help you expel most of the poison. To eliminate the remaining poison, you’ll need to take medicine or have a medicinal bath."
Gu Huaijin had complete trust in what Gu Zhiqi said.
Seeing that Gu Zhiqi was about to perform acupuncture, Gu Xiyue immediately walked up to stand beside Gu Zhiqi, watching her needlework with earnest attention.
Having the chance to witness the Divine Doctor Nan Zhi perform acupuncture, Gu Xiyue inappropriately harbored a thought that shouldn’t have crossed her mind: Her eldest brother, Gu Huaijin, had been poisoned at a most opportune moment.
The needling process was very quick, lasting less than a minute.
All Gu Xiyue saw was a blur of movement, and the acupuncture was over; honestly, she had not even seen clearly how Gu Zhiqi had administered the needles.
She silently turned her head, casting her gaze towards Gu Ying and Gu Min; it’s alright, there were still two other people.
Just as Gu Zhiqi finished the acupuncture, the voice of Chubby Chiu rang in her head, "Ding~ A Fourth-Tier Upgrade Mission① has been triggered, please proceed immediately to Dark Prison No. 7 to rescue Meng Qiyun."
"The mission subject is in life-threatening danger; please proceed with the rescue at once."
"Urgent matter, I’ll be back in half an hour to remove the needles," Gu Zhiqi declared, then transformed into a shadow and disappeared into the Dark Prison.
Gu Ying, Gu Min: Master Zhi, you haven’t done our acupuncture yet!
Feeling puzzled, Gu Xiyue said to the three of them, "I’ll go and take a look."
Then she left, not forgetting to take the black-clad person with her before she went.
Fearing she might miss Gu Zhiqi’s needlework, she departed with haste.
Gu Huaijin and the other two: ?
Mo Canglan’s eyes were nearly bursting with rage as he watched the scene before him, his voice breaking as he yelled out.
In a moment, the gust of wind pushed forth by Mo Qingsnow was about to strike Meng Qiyun. Staring at the oncoming gust heading straight for her, Meng Qiyun felt tense and excited, with a slight hint of fear.
When the wind was about fifty centimeters from Meng Qiyun, suddenly, a brilliant golden light appeared in front of her. As soon as the golden light emerged, it exploded dazzlingly in front of Meng Qiyun, brightly piercing, causing all who saw it to squint reflexively.
The gust collided with the golden light, creating a thunderous roar. The shockwave spread in all directions, the golden light and the gust dissipated simultaneously, and the shockwave forced Mo Qingsnow to stagger backwards.
The person she had called to open the door was directly blown away, crashing heavily onto the corridor outside the Dark Prison after being ejected.
Mo Canglan, his eyes stabbed by the bright light, instinctively closed them, hugging the person in his arms tightly. With eyes shut, he bowed his head, fiercely protecting the person in his embrace.
However, other than feeling a breeze sweeping by, Mo Canglan didn’t feel any discomfort. He looked around in confusion, then saw the person standing in front of Meng Qiyun.
From the moment the golden light appeared, Meng Qiyun’s eyes were fixed unwaveringly on the scene before her.
She saw a figure slowly taking shape within the golden light, staring blankly at the sight before her, somewhat unable to react.
The figure in front of her stood with her back to Meng Qiyun, allowing Meng Qiyun to only see her graceful figure and her freely fluttering black hair.
Is this... a divine being?
Was her brother that incredible? Not only did he etch a formation inside her but also a divine being to act as her Guardian God?
Yet, this Guardian God seemed somewhat familiar.
Mo Qingsnow, shaken by the shockwave into retreating several steps before stabilizing, finally saw clearly the person who had appeared in front of Meng Qiyun.
Mo Qingsnow’s pupils contracted, her eyes filled with shock, "You’re not dead?!"
