Chapter 317: Medical supplement, hard to tell true from false

Faced with Gu Qishao’s adoring remark, Han Yunxi couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

“I really missed you,” Gu Qishao said earnestly.

Maybe she’d heard too much of his jokes, but Han Yunxi felt like rolling her eyes even more when he grew serious. People who tried their best to make jokes were the most detestable of all, weren’t they?

“What else?” Han Yunxi asked helplessly.

Finally, Gu Qishao got down to business. “Where’s Mute Granny?” He wanted to follow Chu Xifeng that night as well, but he was too worried about Poison lass and so followed her instead. Han Yunxi’s sparkling eyes dimmed at the question.

She lowered her voice and said, “She was kidnapped and jumped off a cliff.”

Gu Qishao was astonished. “And then?” Mute Granny was too vital to unlocking Han Yunxi’s true origins. Everything depended on that old woman.

“Her status is unclear,” Han Yunxi said, before adding, “They still haven’t found her body yet.”

Gu Qishao’s gaze turned shrewd before he asked, “Who were the kidnappers?”

“They were dressed in black and wore face masks, so we have no idea,” Han Yunxi said. She’d asked Chu Xifeng for details about the incident.

“What kind of god has the skills to snatch a person from Long Feiye?” Gu Qishao had his doubts.

“If Long Feiye had escorted Mute Granny personally that night, then she wouldn’t have…” Han Yunxi was very sad. She had always kept Mu Linger’s words at the back of her mind. She was the one who hurt Mute Granny. If she hadn’t taken Mute Granny from the Mu Estate, none of this would have happened.

“It can’t be that easy to steal a person from Long Feiye’s men, either.” Gu Qishao had hidden meanings within his words. But Han Yunxi didn’t listen carefully enough and said, “It wasn’t Mu Yingdong. He still doesn’t know about it. Aye…who knows what Mute Granny’s kidnappers were thinking?”

Gu Qishao thought it over before he said, “Poison lass, do you have the antidote prescription for Broomcorn Millet Poison?” Han Yunxi had expelled Mute Granny’s poison in the past, but she needed an antidote to thoroughly cure her deaf-mute state.

“What’s the use of making an antidote without the person to use it on?” Han Yunxi said helplessly. She’d given the prescription to Long Feiye. Most likely, he hadn’t done anything with it either while he was busy searching for Mute Granny.

Gu Qishao reached over his hand. “Let me have a look. I’ll help you search.”

He wants to help me find the person and the antidote ingredients? Isn’t he a little too idle? Han Yunxi was starting to suspect that this guy had nothing to do all day. Of course, she was still happy to give him the prescription. His skills in finding medicinal ingredients were much stronger than Long Feiye’s. Broomcorn Millet Poison’s antidote only needed three ingredients: Serpent Fruit, Bear Chuan1, and Panoptic Red Lotus.

Gu Qishao had to click his tongue at the list. “These are all precious ingreidents!”

“Aren’t they? I’ve never seen any one of them. They’re hard to find,” Han Yunxi said seriously. If Mute Granny was still alive, she’d be more likely to find her than these three medicinal ingriedients. All of them grew under very exacting conditions and spent a long time to return maturity. They were rare to begin with, so the growing time only made them more limited.

Despite this, Gu Qishao was still confident. “Poison lass, don’t worry. Leave these two things to me.”

Having an extra person help out meant an extra helping of strength and a extra dose of hope. Han Yunxi nodded her head. “Mm!”

“If I do find her, how are you planning to repay me?” Gu Qishao asked with a grin.

Han Yunxi’s serious expression gave way to a heheheh as she coldly narrowed her eyes. “You don’t have to look for her at all.”

Gu Qishao’s smile stiffened. Is this woman my natural enemy? Aside from our first meeting in the cave, I feel like I’ve lost to her every single time.

More and more, Han Yunxi realized that she enjoyed seeing Gu Qishao when he was caught speechless like this. Still, after all the jokes she had to ask, “Gu Qishao, will you stop liking me if I’m really from the remnants of the Poison Sect?” She could see Gu Qishao’s good points, but she recognized his motives as well. Ever since he grew interested in her poison skills, then her Tang Clan assassination weapons, then the embroidery on her medical pouch and his investigation into Lady Tianxin and later Mute Granny, his sole goal was to uncover her origins. He was very interested in knowing whether she was related to the Poison Sect.

Now, his motive in hunting down Mute Granny was to see whether Mu Xin really had an affair from someone from that sect. He still didn’t know whether her father was Han Congan or a Poison Sect member. If she told him now that her father wasn’t Han Congan, but was mostly like from the Poison Sect, what would he feel? And why was he so fixated on finding out?
