As the horse's hooves grew louder, Yan Xiaomu spotted the 'young master' that Uncle Chen had mentioned.

A gown made of white brocade with ink-black hair tied casually in the crown of her hair. Her exquisite features were squeezed together in an exceptionally handsome manner. At her waist was a beautiful jade pendant, exuding an imposing heroic air.

Yan Xiaoling had seen quite a few beautiful men in her life. For example, the man in front of her gave her an invisible sense of attraction and oppression, as if he could cause her to fall for him at any moment.

With such an obviously goose-yellow shirt, it would be hard for anyone to not notice, right?

But what did the look of pity and sorrow mean?

If she said he wasn't good-looking, then he would admit it. However, he was clearly the most good-looking man in the entire Ancient Orchid race. She actually shook her head just now and turned around to leave.

He had never heard of such a character in the Twilight Valley, could it be his master's daughter?

It looked like it had been eight years since they last saw each other. Even this place had changed.

Yan Xiaomu jumped off the bed and slipped into her bedroom. She rolled her eyes at the crowd of people who had dispersed. Since they had already welcomed her, there was no need to make any more noise, was there?

She smiled as if she had succeeded in her evil scheme. She took off her jacket and slipped into her blanket before falling into a deep sleep. If it was her, she hadn't slept well in two months.

The moon was surprisingly round, and it was the best time to rest.

However, there were some things that did not go as planned. The candlelight in the courtyard seemed to be a prelude to something that was going to happen.

"Miss, are you there?"

Coincidentally, there was a series of hurried knocks on the door of Yan Xiaomu's resting courtyard. Uncle Chen's hands were shaking slightly, but he forced himself to do the same.

Now that the Valley Master had gone out for a stroll, the only person in the valley who possessed outstanding medical skills was the young miss.

"Miss, Uncle Chen did not mean to disturb your rest, it's really urgent!"

There was another hurried knock on the door.

Yes, Uncle Chen had already been knocking on the door for a quarter of an hour. When he heard no sound from inside, he decisively changed to knocking on the door.

As for Yan Xiaomu, she slowly woke up after hearing the knock on the door. However, after taking a look at the sky, she turned around and narrowed her eyes.

It was only the middle of the night, so she was most likely dreaming. But why did she keep dreaming about what was so important?

It wasn't until the sounds outside the door didn't stop that she noticed that something was wrong. She quickly picked up the dress on top of the beauty bed and put it on before jogging to open the door for Uncle Chen.

After seeing Yan Xiaomu open the door, Uncle Chen panted heavily. He felt that if the young miss didn't open the door soon, he would have to kick her.

"Miss, the young master has had a high fever since this afternoon. He has had it for half a day. I would like to invite you over to take a look."

Uncle Chen looked at Yan Xiaoling's furrowed brow and carefully explained the situation. From the looks of it, he knew that the little miss was still resting. If the master lost her temper, there was nothing he could do. After all, the young master's body was more important.

Actually, Yan Xiaomu had no intention of getting angry. She lifted her skirt and started walking out of the courtyard.

"Didn't Uncle Chen ask the doctor to take a look?"

As Uncle Chen led the way for Yan Xiaomeng, he listened to her ask about the youth's condition.

"I've invited them for the evening, but after checking for so many hours, I still haven't been able to find anything wrong with them. So, I could only invite you, young miss, because the head of the valley isn't here."

It was good that this issue was not brought up, but the mere mention of Yan Xiao Mu made her feel guilty. Even though the people in the valley all thought that their master had gone on a tour, she knew very well that the old man had been angered by her into leaving.

Yan Xiaomu secretly stuck out her tongue. Since that was the case, she might as well go and take a look. After all, she was her master's son!

When Yan Xiao Mu came to his room, there was only one dark guard standing by his side. There was a medical kit on the coffee table.

She frowned slightly but still walked forward and clasped her hands behind his back. The youth on the bed no longer had the imposing aura he had earlier. His black hair was tied loosely behind his shoulders and his embroidered robe's collar was slightly parted.

His sudden illness was really strange.

She could see the pinpricks on his arm when she looked closely, and she was sure that the doctor who had consulted him had already done so.

Even the strength generated by his pulse was just right. However, when Xiao Mu felt the warmth coming from his wrist and his subconsciously clenching fists, she felt that it was not as easy as it seemed.

Yan Xiaomu lifted her head and saw that he was already somewhat awake. There was a trace of resistance in his deep blue eyes, and the strength in his hands increased. It was as if he wanted to stop her from discovering his meridians.

In just a moment, the pulse under her finger changed slightly. A touch of coldness flowed through her blood vessels. It was this slight change that allowed her to notice this strange condition.

No wonder the attack was so illogical. Even if he invited quite a few doctors, they still wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with it. However, his pulse was as normal as ever. It would be strange if it could be diagnosed!

But who was Yan Xiaomu?

She knew that this was a Gu poison, and it was the most deadly Charm Heart Gu.

One had to ask what Charm was, it was a medicine passed down from the previous dynasty, it gradually corroded a person's mind, finally they fell into a deep sleep and died, although it was called Gu poison, but there was no cure.

In the past, her master had discussed this with her. However, at such a young age, the poison in this youth's body had already invaded her internal organs. It was likely that this poison had already been carried inside her mother's womb.

The person who poisoned him was truly vicious. He was even able to harm a baby. Indeed, the world was going down with each passing day.

Since she had already probed her meridians, Yan Xiaomu didn't dare to stay idle.

She took out a silver needle from her sleeve and used it to detoxify the poison on the fire. Following her memory, she found the correct acupuncture point and pierced it at a speed so fast that even the secret guard was unable to stop her.

In just half a quarter of an hour, she had completed the injection. However, she could only temporarily suppress the erosion of the Gu poison. As time passed, it would relapse. If she really wanted to suppress it for a long period of time, she would need to find another way.
