Chapter 602 - A New Way to Save People (1/2)

The warm, bitter medicinal concoction flowed down Gu Die’s throat,

making her feel warm all over.

“Go to bed early. You’ll feel better soon now you’ve taken this medicine.”

Gu Xing looked at Gu Die, who was getting sleepy. A complicated look flashed across his eyes.

Gu Die could no longer care about anything else, so she nodded her head.

The heavy sleepiness gradually swept over her.

Looking at his senior sister, who was sleeping soundly under the quilt, Gu Xing showed an expression of hesitation.

“You’re really heartless. You found a scapegoat in such a short time. Don’t worry, people like you are perfect for working with us.”

A voice that was neither male nor female suddenly came from the sky.

Gu Xing immediately looked at the door with caution, turning his body to the side to protect the defenseless Gu Die.

“You promised me that as long as I did things for you, you would let go of my senior sister!”

The suppressed tone couldn’t hide the anxiety in Gu Xing’s voice.

Although he had grown up with Gu Die, his status was different from hers.

Once the other party really blamed the plague on him, he would have no choice but to die.

However, if it were her senior sister, this matter would definitely be suppressed through their sect’s reputation.

After all, his teacher only had one daughter, which was his senior sister, Gu Die.

He didn’t want to blindly be someone’s scapegoat.

“Rest assured. I won’t kill her. After all, with her status, she is the best candidate for handling this storm for us. Didn’t you send the medicine bag to Princess Yu? I’m afraid that with her abilities, she will have already seen through the mystery behind it. This time, we have to thank you. If you hadn’t provided us with the prescription for the Ghost Bone Powder, I’m afraid it would have been difficult for us to succeed up to now.

It was a slightly swollen figure covered in layers of black gauze speaking.

His facial features were hidden under a black bamboo hat. No one knew his identity.

At this moment, he walked silently over to Gu Die’s bedside.

Although Gu Xing was on his guard against him, he had no choice but to do as he was told because he had been caught out.

“I repeat: you cheated me out of this prescription! I didn’t give it to you!”

Gu Xing gritted his teeth and growled in a low voice. His eyes were filled with horror.

He was scared. He was really scared.

In the beginning, he had just wanted some money, so he had stolen his teacher’s prescription and sold it.

Unexpectedly, after seeing the miserable scene in Yunzhou, Gu Xing had been afraid that those innocent people who had died so tragically would turn into ghosts and come to take revenge.

But in the end, his fear of death was making him make mistakes with every step.

Now, he even wanted to put all the blame on her senior sister, who doted on him the most.

However, he had to live! He had to do everything to stay alive!

“Hahaha, you’re really shameless. Yes, we lied to you. We lied to you and said that the prescription was harmless. That’s why you…”

“Enough!”

Gu Xing, who was on the verge of collapse, suddenly roared and interrupted the man in black.

He didn’t want to listen to him anymore, even if he was lying to himself.

Those people were all dead. They could only blame themselves for being unlucky, not anyone else!

“Put this on your senior sister. Look at this girl. She’s pretty, isn’t she? If I were you, I would consider being your teacher’s son-in-law. Then, your teacher could also protect you.”

The man in black continued to tease Gu Xing. He then took out a small cloth bag from his sleeve.

Gu Xing’s face stiffened, but he endured and stood in between his senior sister and the man in black.

Trembling, he put the cloth bag into his senior sister’s carry-on bag.

Although he had committed an unforgivable crime, there were some things that he would never do.

“You can leave now.”

After finishing all this, Gu Xing seemed to be a little weak.

The man in black would not continue to satirize him. After confirming that the little cloth bag was indeed in Gu Die’s bundle, he left.

As soon as he left, Gu Xing suddenly fell to the ground as if he could no longer hold on.

The shock on his face turned to spite.

He had done nothing wrong! Anyone would protect themselves. Moreover, he hadn’t done anything bad to his senior sister.

Therefore, he did not need to feel guilty anymore. Anyway, this was a secret that no one would find out.

But Gu Xing did not realize that ever since the day his hands had become stained with blood, there had been no possibility of his retreat.

With the samples of the poison provided by Lin Mengya, her teacher’s research became extremely smooth.

Lin Mengya knew that it was best not to disturb him at this moment.

In order to distract everyone’s attention, she decided to follow the rescue troops at the front and go to the nearby towns to search for patients and survivors.
