"Master, Miss Cuihua is here," Wuxin announced, holding a bamboo tube as he entered.
"Is there something wrong?" Nan Jin Yu asked, since Gu Nian had left not long ago.
"She brought something, saying that Miss Gu had sent it over."
As Wuxin spoke, he stepped forward and handed over the bamboo tube in his hand.
He was actually quite puzzled inside, because although the bamboo tube was covered with a lid, judging by the sound, it seemed to contain clear water.
Why would Miss Gu send just a bit of clear water to their master?
As Nan Jin Yu took it, he pretty much guessed what was inside.
He looked up and instructed Wuxin, "You can go now, there’s no need for anyone to attend to this."
After Wuxin left, Nan Jin Yu curiously opened the bamboo tube.
Seeing the clear water inside, Nan Jin Yu’s heart was even more puzzled.
Testing it, he brought the bamboo tube to his lips and gently sipped.
He had once lied to Gu Nian, saying his leg hadn’t healed yet, but it had long recovered. He pretended it hadn’t to cover for other things. The most update n0vels are published on novelFɪre.net
This spiritual spring water can detoxify, but that’s only detectible when there’s poison in his body. Now, the toxins are long gone, drinking it just makes him feel refreshed without other sensations.
However, being astute as Nan Jin Yu was, he still became suspicious.
Would Nian send him a cup of refreshing water for no reason?
She might have if she was here, but it had just rained, the road was full of mud, and it wouldn’t make sense for her to specially send Cuihua on such a trip.
Therefore, this seemingly clear water must have something unusual within it.
"Wuxin..." Nan Jin Yu suddenly called out.
Wuxin, who was guarding outside the door, hurriedly came in, "What does the master command?"
"Has Bai Yanluo returned yet?" That guy said he wanted to eat bear paw yesterday, so he went to the mountains to find a bear, but it’s been two days and he hasn’t been seen.
"Not yet," Wuxin shook his head.
Nan Jin Yu opened his mouth, intending to instruct something, but thinking it over, he still let Wuxin retreat, standing up himself and going to Bai Yanluo’s room.
Bai Yanluo was the heir of Divine Doctor Valley, a lone descendant in the vast fields, and Nan Jin Yu had some incidents when he was young and was sent to Divine Doctor Valley for recovery, essentially growing up closely with Bai Yanluo.
Otherwise, Bai Yanluo wouldn’t dare act so boldly before him.
Unlike the bookish fragrance of Nan Jin Yu’s room, Bai Yanluo had only been here a short while, but the room was filled with jars and bottles.
Nan Jin Yu casually picked up a bottle of weak poison from among them, opened it and drank it.
As the poison began to take effect, he hurriedly drank a mouthful of clear water from the bamboo tube to test it.
Indeed, as he suspected, the toxins were quickly neutralized.
Nan Jin Yu’s lips subtly curved upward.
It seems that Nian’s secret must be this water.
Previously, the amount she put in his meals must have been very small, so it took him so long to detoxify.
That girl usually looks so cautious and smart, now she has simply exposed her secret to him, without fearing he might have any ill intentions!
Fortunately, although Nan Jin Yu doesn’t claim to be a gentleman, he’s not a villain.
Gu Nian had been sitting in the room without sleeping, waiting for Cuihua to return. She quickly grabbed Cuihua and asked, "How did it go? Did you give it to Young Master Nan? What was his expression? Did he say anything?"
She couldn’t quite understand her own state either, just a moment ago a whim struck her, and she sent Cuihua to deliver the spiritual spring water to him.
