Liu Shimei shook his head and said, “Several poisons are mixed together. It’s impossible to solve them individually. For example, if you want to clear up a mess, you can only find the source and extract the silk.”
“Mess?” When Huangfu Lingyao heard this, he said childishly, “Didn’t you say to cut the Gordian knot quickly? Wife, am I right?”
Liang Yi’s lips twitched. “I say, King Dun Yu, do you think it’s that simple? If we do it too quickly, will this guy be able to withstand it?”
Huangfu Lingyao had an innocent look on his face. “Then… Fight poison with poison?”
“If there’s a way to fight poison with poison, doesn’t Younger Sister know better than you? How could Old Master Qi not know?” Liang Yi crossed her arms as she leaned against the wall and retorted.
Huangfu Lingyao seemed to be used to Liu Shimei’s rebuttal no matter what he said. He did not say anything else and stared at Liu Shimei in a daze.
Liu Shimei frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, “It might not be a bad idea to cut the Gordian knot quickly, but what kind of knife to use and how to cut it are all uncertain. There’s another problem. Could Zhong Lang’s body withstand it?”
Seeing her looking at him, Zhong Lang said, “I’m fine with anything. I’m lucky to have survived until now. Miss Liu, please try. It’s a last resort.”
Even so, Liu Shimei could not treat him recklessly. She said, “Then I’ll have to think about it with Master. Right now, we can only try our best to reduce the pain of your poison and the damage these poisons have done to your body.”
She stood up and planned to go out and talk to Qi Yang.
“Wife, who is this person to you? Why do you have to save him?” Huangfu Lingyao asked.
Liu Shimei was startled and smiled, “It doesn’t have to be a special person. Although I am not a living Bodhisattva who bemoans the state of the universe and helps any human being, I am a doctor who follows the path of medicine and does my best to save the lives I want to save. That is the result of my faith.”
The premise was that she wanted to save him!
Huangfu Lingyao asked, “What happened after you cured him? He has to repay you for saving his life.”
Liu Shimei was stunned and subconsciously glanced at Zhong Lang.
Zhong Lang was also slightly startled.
Perhaps Liu Shimei had not thought of this question, but Zhong Lang had. He said, “If Miss Liu can save my life, I’m willing to work for you and Old Senior Qi.”
“You are a Jianghu person!” Liang Yi watched from the side for a while and could tell that something was off.
He thought to himself, ‘Why do I feel that this silly Second Prince is always so silly, the kind that would anger people to death. But why did he always hit the nail on the head at the crucial moment?’
His suspicious gaze fell on Huangfu Lingyao: Ordinary fools were not that smart!
“The Jianghu is far away,” Zhong Lang replied. “From now on, it’s not impossible for me to withdraw from Jianghu.”
“So, you want to follow my wife in the future?” Huangfu Lingyao was not happy. His face was dark as he quickly hugged Liu Shimei’s arm. He stared at Zhong Lang with his small eyes and said warily, “You’re a man. Don’t you feel embarrassed?”
Zhong Lang looked at him silently for a while and said, “I don’t have any other talents, only martial arts. As long as Miss Liu is willing to let me stay, 1 am willing to protect Miss Liu with my martial arts!”
Huangfu Lingyao immediately bared his teeth at him.
Liu Shimei felt that her young puppy’s possessiveness was a little too much. It was as if he had to be on guard against anyone who came close to her.
She said helplessly, “Lingyao, don’t think too much. Who knows what will happen in the future?”
Liang Yi thought for a moment and said, “1 think it’s fine!”
The others looked at him..
