Bai Zhi was startled and immediately asked: “Why? I can at least help a little by staying.”

Dongfang Mu shook his head: “This matter will definitely not end well, and no one could tell what the outcome will be. At that time, I am afraid that Yan’er and I will not be able to take care of you. You don’t know anything about this Gu thing. It’s better to take advantage of the fact that it hasn’t broken out yet. You should leave as soon as possible.”

Bai Zhi shook her head: “No, I can’t just watch you suffer here while I take refuge. This is not in line with my nature.” In modern times, she worked as a war zone medical aid.

The corpses were everywhere in the war zone, and the epidemic was serious. In such a situation, she never frowned. Would she go in hiding now?

Never!

“If you’re not going, I’m not going. I’m a doctor, I can’t just watch the virus get rampant and avoid it by running away. Besides, I suspect this kind of poison will be transmitted through bites. If it can be transmitted, Grandpa, do you know what it will become in the end?”

Dongfang Mu was startled and didn’t know how to answer for a moment.

Bai Zhi sighed and looked up at the dark cloud in the sky. Her mood was like that at the moment. Her originally bright eyes somehow became gloomy. Her flat eyebrows became sharp like swords.

“At that time, there will be no safe place in Chu country. Grandpa, if you want to protect my mother and me, then let me stay and help you to overcome this difficulty together.”

Dongfang Mu was very moved. The girl in front of her was only 13-year-old. However, he was this old, but couldn’t help but be scared.

“Okay, okay, it really is the kind of my Dongfang family.”

Bai Zhi’s eyes lit up: “Grandpa, do you agree?”

Dongfang Mu nodded: “I agree, but your mother still has to be sent away. I can’t feel at ease if she will stay here.”

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes, but still nodded her head. She walked forward and said in a low voice: “Grandpa, I have a plan—”

In half a day, the news was that Master Guan, the Luan Hall’s owner, was seriously injured and died.

This news also reached the ears of a handsome young man.

Song Lang was playing with the handkerchief in his hand. There was a little flower embroidered on its side. This flower was nothing else but a flower called Bai Zhi.

“Dead?” He looked up and glanced at the old man.

The old man nodded his head and said with a calm look in his eyes: “But I don’t know if this news is true or false.”

“Didn’t you send someone to investigate?”

The old man said: “I sent someone, he should be back soon.”

As soon as his words fell, the sounds of footsteps came from the door. A young man poked his head and said to the old man: “Old Yuan, the person you send out is back.”

Old Yuan nodded: “Let him come in to report.”

The person who was sent to investigate was a young man in his early twenties. He was wearing a green robe and has an ordinary face. He was the kind of person who wouldn’t stand out if he was thrown into the crowd. Such a person was the most suitable to for inquiring news and suddenly disappearing.

The young man said, “Master, I heard that Master Guan was slashed with a sword in his abdomen. When he was sent to Dongfang Family Mansion, his cotton coat was soaked in blood. Although the injury was not critical, he shed too much blood.”

“You mean, he died of blood loss? Did you see the corpse?”

The young man nodded: “I saw the corpse, his complexion was very pale. It really looks like he had lost too much blood. His grandson was crying miserably. It didn’t look like a fake.”

Song Lang stared at the young man and said, “You couldn’t find any news before, but now you’ve even seen them?”
