Gu Qingluan nodded and glanced around, heading straight towards a makeshift bed not far away.
Lying on this bed was an old man, and there was no one else beside him, indicating that he had come to the auction alone.
Gu Qingluan stood by the bed and used her spiritual sense to examine the old man’s body.
His symptoms were exactly how “Dreamlike Poison” would manifest.
In the Stellar Space, Gu Qingluan had already thought of a way to detoxify him.
She took out the Primordial Gold Needle.
A golden light suddenly appeared, attracting the attention of everyone present.
“It’s the golden needle!” Su Ziyin exclaimed excitedly when she saw it, “So, it was stolen by you, this little brat!”
She suddenly rushed forward, reaching out to snatch the golden needle.
“Brother Jun, be careful!” Seeing Su Ziyin about to fight Gu Qingluan for the needle, He Lianjun hurriedly warned and moved forward to intervene.
However, there was someone faster than him.
In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared behind Gu Qingluan.
As Su Ziyin moved in, Gu Qingluan had already detected her intention and was getting ready to confront the young girl. However, to her surprise, a mysterious figure swiftly intervened. Her waist suddenly constricted as she collided with a robust and solid chest.
Accidentally, her forehead bumped into the other person’s chin.
The pain made her gasp for breath.
Did this guy have a chin or was it a chisel?
Where did this person come from?
She raised her hand to push the person away, but he had already released her and smoothly retreated a meter away.
Gu Qingluan:
She raised her head and gazed into a pair of deep eyes.
A strangely familiar gaze!
And from their brief contact earlier, Gu Qingluan also had a faint sense of familiarity.
She couldn’t help but take a few more glances at the person.
The man had a tall and upright figure. He wore a black patterned mask on his face, covering only the upper half, revealing thin and pale lips. His lips were perfect, and his jawline was sharp and well-defined, with smooth lines.
If she only looked at the eyes, Gu Qingluan might have mistaken him for the scumbag, but this man’s face shape was different from Feng Tianlan’s.
Did she know this man? Why did he save her?
“Brother Jun, are you okay?” He Lianjun rushed over, grabbing her arms and checking her up and down.
The man with the black mask narrowed his eyes, dangerously watching He Lianjun’s two hands.
He Lianjun, seemingly oblivious, was solely focused on Gu Qingluan’s condition.
Gu Qingluan shook her head. “I’m fine.”
She pulled her arm away from He Lianjun’s grip and looked up at the man with the black mask. “Thank you for helping.”
Although she considered it unnecessary, the man had good intentions, so saying thank you was appropriate.
The man with the black mask replied with a faintly opened mouth, “A small favor, saving lives is more important.”
His voice was deep and hoarse, like a breeze blowing through a deep mountain, unlike Feng Tianlan’s voice.
Gu Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief.
She had thought it might be Feng Tianlan, but the face and voice didn’t match.
He must have saved her to help detoxify these poisoned people.
However, before detoxifying, she needed to settle the score with a certain little girl.
Su Ziyin failed to snatch the golden needle and was pushed back by the man with the black mask. She almost stumbled and looked gloomy.
When Su Ziyin noticed Gu Qingluan looking at her, she felt a bit uneasy. Immediately, she cast an envious glance at the golden needle in Gu Qingluan’s hand and straightforwardly asked, “I’ll buy that golden needle from you! How much do you want? Name your price!”
Gu Qingluan chuckled. “Did 1 say I wanted to sell it?”
Su Ziyin spoke sharply, “It’s a waste for a sacred artifact like this to be in your possession. You’re not worthy of it!” Her tone implied a lack of comprehension of Gu Qingluan’s intentions, and she criticized Gu Qingluan in the process.
Gu Qingluan chuckled. “And do you deserve it?”
“Of course! I’m a seventh-grade physician. Just give me a few more years, and 1’11 become a Grand Physician! I’ll be the youngest Grand Physician on the entire continent!” Su Ziyin said proudly..
