“Hah! I didn’t even know that I could suppress the parasite with the Heart Cleansing Pill and the Thousand thread vine. It was just what my benefactor instructed me to do four years ago. Speaking of which…”
Complex emotions flickered in his eyes. “You look quite similar to my benefactor…”
“Huh?” The words surprised Lou Qianxue. “Is that why you asked me if I have siblings?”
“Yeah!”
Lou Qianxue’s heart skipped a beat. “Indeed, there’s someone who looks like me… No, I look like her. She’s my mother!”
“Huh?” Zhen Guogong widened his eyes in shock. “Are you saying that your mother saved me?”
Suppressing her excitement, Lou Qianxue shook her head. “I’m not sure. However, was there anything special about your benefactor?”
“Anything special? Oh, right! My benefactor was a really strange person. Although she was a woman without any cultivation, she was extremely powerful—almost unparalleled. She was so courageous that she could wipe out an entire army on her own.”
“… Mom! It’s her!” Lou Qianxue abruptly stood up. “It’s really her! Two years ago, I learned that my mother stopped in Baiyan City because of the Hawk Rider… After two years, I finally heard a new update about her!”
Lou Qianxue excitedly asked, “What happened afterward? What happened after she saved you?”
“She left.” Zhen Guogong sighed. “I initially wanted to repay her favor. However, although she was without cultivation, she was mysterious and extremely fast. No one knows where she went. After the war, I couldn’t find her.”
“Where did she go?”
“The border beside Nandu Nation.”
“Nandu Nation…” Lou Qianxue narrowed her eyes. “Got it.”
Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down. “Master Guogong, I’ll lure the parasite out for you now.”
Whoosh!
She took out the pill cauldron. Then, she placed the herbs she had brought out earlier into the cauldron and started to refine them.
Her rapid speed astounded everyone.
“You… You’re going to start now?”
“Yeah, it’s going to be quick. However, it might be a little painful later. Please endure it, Master Guogong.”
An increasingly stronger fragrance wafted out from her cauldron.
Lou Qianxue looked at An Shaoning. “Didn’t you ask about the smell of the herb just now? I call it the Ganzhi herb. It’s the favorite herb of all parasites. A parasite can never escape the lure of the Ganzhi Herb. Once it smells the herb, it will definitely move.”
“I see. No wonder you were able to trigger Master Guogong’s illness.” An Shaoning suddenly had a realization.
“Yeah. However, the Thousand thread vine can suppress the parasite. Hence, the parasite might not come out. Shaoning, bring the Thousand thread vine to me.”
An Shaoning placed the Thousand thread vine in front of Lou Qianxue, who kept it into the Mountain River Space.
When the smell of the Thousand thread vine dissipated, the fragrance of the Ganzhi Herb intensified. Suddenly, a small bulge started to appear on Zhen Guogong’s forehead. It started to quickly move under his skin.
“Ah!” Zhen Guogong wailed in agony. He subconsciously tried to touch it!
“Restrain him!”
“An Shaoning, Second Young Master, take one side each and restrain Master Guogong. Make a shallow cut on his fingers so that he won’t move.”
“Alright.”
Both of them rushed forward and followed her instructions.
Then, everyone heard the sound of something crawling about…
The bug under Zhen Guogong’s skin rapidly crawled from his head to his face, neck, shoulders, arms, and finally…
Drip!
A black bug followed the blood dripping from Zhen Guogong’s fingertips and dropped onto the ground…
However…
At the next moment!
Whoosh!
The black bug’s wings fluttered as it quickly flew toward Lou Qianxue.
Lou Qianxue’s gaze turned solemn.
Whoosh!
An orb of yellow abnormal fire emerged all of a sudden. Even the air around her became distorted by the scorching heat.
“Abnormal fire?” Everyone exclaimed in shock.
“It’s actually an abnormal fire!”
