“So, you agreed to get close to little princess because you wanted to cure your grandmother of the Gu Poison?” Rong Zhan’s gaze came from afar, as if he could see through Gu Qingxue’s thoughts perfectly.
Gu Qingxue nodded without hesitation.
Rong Zhan’s face turned cold and serious. “Do you know that you’re drawing fire to yourself? Gu Poison isn’t easy to control. If you get involved in it, you’ll only be causing trouble for yourself. Once you can’t control it, you’ll definitely involve many people.”
Gu Qingxue’s heart felt as if it had been punched. She lowered her eyes to hide the emotions that flashed through her eyes. “l understand what your Highness is saying. However, for the sake of my grandmother’s safety, I am willing to try my best.”
Feeling Rong Zhan’s cold gaze, Gu Qingxue nervously clenched her fists under her sleeves.
She knew very well why Rong Zhan would remind her of this.
Gu Poison was the nightmare of many people. Not only the ones who were poisoned, but they were also the nightmare of those Gu Masters. They were accompanied by Gu Poison their entire lives, and in the end, they often did not have a good ending. Among them, there were countless people who were killed by the Gu Poison they refined.
To become a Gu Master, there was no turning back, once one was involved, it would be as hard as ascending to heaven to stay out of it.
“l understand what Your Royal Highness is saying, but for the sake of my grandmother’s safety, I am still willing to do my best to try.” Gu Qingxue said with certainty.
Seeing the stubbornness in Gu Qingxue’s eyes, Rong Zhan’s eyes flickered slightly. In the end, he put away his cold expression and said slowly, “Fei Yuge wants your help to concoct the antidote because she wants to look for a person named Master Wen Jiang. She wants to use the Gu Poison in his body to threaten him into taking her in as a disciple.
Gu Qingxue listened to Rong Zhan quietly and could not help but recall Fei Yuge’s little face.
From Fei Yuge’s words and actions, it was hard to tell that she was someone who would use other people’s lives to threaten others.
However…
Between Fei Yuge and Rong Zhan, she would naturally choose to believe the latter.
“Your Royal Highness, are you trying to remind me to be careful of getting involved in this matter?” Gu Qingxue blinked her eyes and looked at Rong Zhan curiously.
Rong Zhan, on the other hand, looked at Gu Qingxue in confusion.
He had said so much, but this girl could not even guess his thoughts. Was she trying to anger him to death?
“Gu Qingxue, don’t pretend you don’t know.” As Rong Zhan spoke, he put down the book that he was holding. The book fell heavily on the table with a muffled sound.
Gu Qingxue did not panic at all. Instead, the smile on her face became even more brilliant. “l will return these words back to Your Highness. Your Royal Highness, why don’t we talk about this Master Wen Jiang?”
She was actually very curious about this Gu Mster called Wen Jiang. Just how much charm did he have to make Fei Yuge do anything for him?
One had to know that Fei Yuge’s popularity in the Southern Border was far beyond anyone’s imagination. It could be said that as long as it was something Fei Yuge wanted, even if it was the moon in the sky, the king would do anything to help her.
Thus, if she wanted to be a Gu Master, all the Gu Masters in the Southern Border would definitely fight to be her teacher..
