After implanting the Lifesaving Gu into Zhi Chen’s body, Dong Huiying checked his pulse again. What was initially a faint pulse had become much steadier. "The Lifesaving Gu can only be used to prolong life, often used on those who are critically injured and on the brink of death. However, this treats the symptoms, not the root cause. To wake Zhi Chen up, we still need to gather some medicinal herbs," she said. The biggest problem for Liang Zhichen was that he had once been infected by the Child Gu of the Mind-Bewitching Gu. To avoid being "bewitched" and controlled by others, he took a risky move by using poison to fight poison, solving the issue of the Child Gu in his body. However, the poison, combined with the Gu, formed a new type of hybrid toxin, which was truly terrifying. Dong Huiying remembered the time on Qingfeng Mountain when she had been engrossed in the practice of Gu Art. Initially, Shen Qiuyang, Sister Shen, took care of her daily needs, but later Zhi Chen found her and gradually took over Shen Qiuyang’s duties. This was a clever man. Could he have thought of using poison to fight poison because he had watched her refine Gu back then on Qingfeng Mountain? She couldn’t help but sigh again. This intelligence of his, she really did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse. She tenderly caressed his cheek, and finally, she gently pressed a kiss on his forehead. "Actually, I can be very reliable too. Don’t underestimate me, please," she whispered. She spoke softly, then lingered her gaze on the man on the bed for a moment. As she rose to her feet, her eyes filled with tenderness turned into a harsh frost. "Master Zhan, since you knew I originally had purple hair, I presume you must have made contact with Yun Ge. So, how much do you actually know about me?" she asked. Zhan Hanyun was surprised for a moment, "Master Marshal, you really have changed a lot." In Dajin, the term "Master" is usually used for men, but in Dayuan, this term can also be applied to women. Zhan Hanyun glanced significantly at Little Marshal, "Back in the days with the Ninth Princess’s Secret Department, you were not this demeanor." "The Secret Department?" Zhan Hanyun slowly straightened his clothes, then straightened his spine: "I communicated with someone surnamed Yun through letters. She told me in her letters that you got amnesia, forgetting your past? Well, perhaps it’s good that you don’t remember." Not remembering might be good. This was the second time Dong Huiying heard this phrase from someone else. The first time was from Yun Ge, and this second time... It seemed that those past memories were not necessarily all good, otherwise the attitudes of these two individuals would not be so consistent. Zhan Hanyun declared loudly, "Zhan Hanyun, former Deputy Director of the Secret Department, at your service, Marshal!" Her expression was serious, nothing like her previous casual demeanor. She adjusted her attitude and paid the highest courtesy to this young girl. This person was one she had mentored. When they first met, she was a small bean of a girl. But as time passed, the once child had achieved far more than she ever had. Blue comes out of the indigo and is better than the indigo! Dong Huiying thought that it was better to keep life and actions simple. She gradually deduced a pattern. Though there were millions of citizens in Dayuan, for her, these millions could roughly be categorized into six types. Those I love, those I hate, those I am indifferent to. Those who are useful, those who are useless, and those who are a toss-up. People like Zhan Hanyun and Tie Yi were categorized within the ’useful’ category. She suddenly thought: Like Yun Ge, like Zhan Hanyun, there is no love or hate without reason in this world, nor is anyone obliged to help or rescue you. But these two individuals, the former would go through fire and water for her, and the latter was also willing to be of her service. Yet, to her, it was like formatting a game save; everything was wiped clean and started over.
