William’s body was no longer in critical condition; his energy and blood were weak, but a few days of rest would suffice for recovery. He had come specifically to thank Dong Huiying. The Liang brothers couldn’t understand foreign languages, and very few in Dayuan could comprehend the Fanbang language. So now the brothers could only watch as their wife conversed fluently with William, not knowing what the two were discussing, and feeling quite distressed about it. Shu Yu slightly narrowed his eyes. It seemed he had to learn another skill. Liang Zhichen’s heart was also stirred with some emotions, and he was already planning in his mind to have Lan Gu invite a foreigner home to learn the Fanbang language. Otherwise, if a foreigner ever wanted to flirt with his wife, he’d be at a disadvantage because he couldn’t understand a word. Dong Huiying wasn’t aware of the two brothers’ thoughts. She looked at William and asked, "What are your plans for the future?" William, who was usually gentle, slightly withdrew his smile and replaced it with a serious expression: "Revenge!" Dong Huiying rubbed her chin and suddenly grinned playfully. She looked at Liang Zhichen: "I remember that after the Eighth Princess took power, she withdrew the forces the former Empress had stationed with the Seventh Princess. Today, the city under the Seventh Princess has developed to this scale, and even the Eighth Princess in the capital is somewhat wary of her, all because of the foreigners’ influence. Those foreigners are practically her right-hand men, aren’t they?" Liang Zhichen pondered and nodded: "Among them, Charles is the closest to her!" Dong Huiying narrowed her eyes, smiling like a little fox that had just stolen a fish. "Then, does our Sir City Lord of Mist Capital have any interest in acquiring another city?" Zhichen was slightly stunned, and as their eyes met, he understood her meaning without needing her to say more. The young foreigner pursuing Lan Gu was, although young, quite steady in his actions. But he also possessed the unique romance of Westerners, presenting a bouquet every day, with small gifts constantly. Lan Gu felt both embarrassed and awkward about it, but outwardly maintained a calm and unruffled demeanor. Dong Huiying already had a plan in mind. She discussed it with Zhichen and also involved Shu Yu to help brainstorm ideas. This was indeed like three cobblers making a strategist, considering that among the three, Dong Huiying believed herself to be the least clever. As for Zhichen and Shu Yu, each was more cunning and shrewd than the last. After the three of them deliberated, they began to make arrangements targeting William and Charles, with the young foreigner pursuing Lan Gu becoming the most crucial element of their plan. However, before specifically implementing the action, Dong Huiying had another matter to attend to, which was... to send a message to Yun Ge with all haste! Miao Qing had obtained leads on the Eighty Thousand Souls from Charles, and possessing expertise in the Poison Gu Art, Miao Qing, if managed correctly, could handle dozens alone or even eliminate them all single-handedly, causing Dong Huiying considerable anxiety. Meanwhile, on Yun Ge’s side, the most prudent response was to undertake a large migration, finding a safer place temporarily to avoid encountering Miao Qing’s concealed threats. In the ensuing days, rumors began to spread that Charles was suddenly losing hair in clumps and, additionally, his body began wasting away. In just a few days, he became as thin as a skeleton. Faced with these bizarre symptoms, Charles panicked. Having interacted with Miao Qing and being somewhat knowledgeable about the Witch Gu, if he still couldn’t figure out what was happening to him, he might as well have been living in vain.
