"What?!" Lu Chimo was also shocked to hear this. "If Xiao Shixun dies, Young Master Su will die too. How can this be?"
"I don't know either, but that's what Xiao Shixun meant." Bai Yulang was very anxious.
Lu Chimo thought for a while before saying, "Could it be... 'Together with you'?!"
"'Together with you'? What's that?" Bai Yulang looked blank.
"A kind of secret Gu from beyond the borders, with a mother and a child. If this is true, it is obvious that Xiao Shixun has the mother Gu, while Young Master Su has the child Gu. That's why we didn't discover this when we took Young Master Su's pulse before. This is because the mother Gu can only be detected by taking the pulse of someone who has the mother Gu. The child Gu cannot be detected unless it takes effect."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yulang was horrified: "Is the purpose of this 'Flying Border Secret Gu' to make people live and die together?"
Lu Chimo nodded. No wonder Xiao Shixun was so calm and collected, daring to come to Feng Kingdom like this.
"Is my brother's uncontrollable internal energy also due to this? Because we didn't find any problems when we examined his pulse," Bai Yulang asked again.
Lu Chimo shook his head: "This poison makes the two of them live and die together, and it has nothing to do with internal energy. Young Master Su's internal energy going out of control and going crazy must be because of something else, but we don't know what it is yet."
Bai Yulang frowned deeply, feeling extremely sorry for his brother: "How could this happen? Just how many bad things has Xiao Shixun done to my brother? Isn't one Lijiang Secret Gu enough?!"
Lu Chimo seemed to remember something and said, "We've been forgetting to ask Young Master Su something."
"What?" Bai Yulang's heart clenched.
“We should ask Young Master Su if Xiao Shixun did anything else to him when he crippled his martial arts and pierced his collarbone. There must be some details we’ve all overlooked,” Lu Chimo replied.
"Then let's hurry back and ask my brother. Tsk, the worst part is that that beast Xiao Shixun wants my brother to personally deliver the antidote to him. If my brother goes, wouldn't that be like a lamb being led to the slaughter?" Bai Yulang was so worried that his hair was turning white.
"I'm sorry, I..." Lu Chimo looked at Bai Yulang's worried face and couldn't help but blame himself.
"No, senior brother, there's no need to apologize. I didn't know about this either. If I had known that the beast and my brother shared a life, I would never have poisoned him. Fortunately, the poison didn't take effect immediately, so we... we still have a chance to save him."
Bai Yulang wanted to comfort Lu Chimo, and also himself, but it was no use; he remained deeply worried.
"Let's go back first and explain this matter to the Prince."
Bai Yulang nodded and asked, "Should we tell the Prince, and not my brother?"
"Don't you know your brother's temperament? If he knew that he and Xiao Shixun were destined to live and die together, he might have a moment of despair and take his own life. So we need to explain this to the Prince first and see what his plans are. However, we probably can't hide this for long. The poison in Xiao Shixun's body will take effect in a few hours. If your brother goes to deliver the antidote, he will naturally find out."
Bai Yulang frowned even more upon hearing Lu Chimo's words, then seemed to remember something: "Right, senior brother, there are still a few hours left, isn't there any way to cure this Gu poison?"
Chapter 516 Disposal
“That’s a secret Gu from the Frontier. If it were just ordinary Gu poison from the Frontier, I could think of a way to deal with it. But this is a secret Gu, a secret Gu that only the Gu King of the Frontier possesses. Only he knows the way to cure it.”
Lu Chimo also wanted to cure the Gu poison within these few hours, so that he wouldn't have to send Xiao Shixun any antidote.
This poison is more bizarre and terrifying than medicinal poisons, and those who study medicine rarely touch it.
However, perhaps Su Fuliu would understand.
Just as he thought of this, he heard Bai Yulang say, "My brother's medical skills are unparalleled. Perhaps he can find a way to save himself?"
Lu Chimo nodded slightly: "Yes, we still need to go back and ask."
On the way, Lu Chimo asked again, "Weren't you waiting for your senior brother at the Imperial Preceptor's residence? Why did you run out?"
"I... I was just thinking that since my senior brother has become the Imperial Preceptor, we should celebrate properly, so I went out to buy him a gift." After Bai Yulang finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
If he hadn't been thinking of going out to buy a gift, he wouldn't have run into Xiao Shixun, and none of this would have happened.
However, even if he doesn't go out and doesn't encounter Xiao Shixun, Xiao Shixun will still do other things.
"Then why did you buy so many women's hairbands to give to your senior brother?" Lu Chimo asked knowingly.
Bai Yulang blushed slightly, somewhat surprised: "How did you know, Senior Brother?"
Lu Chimo then recounted the whole story to him. After listening, he rubbed his sleeves somewhat embarrassedly: "Senior brother, do you think I... am too unreserved...?"
If it were the old Bai Yulang, he would never have asked such a question. But now that he has regained Xiao Shilang's memories, the two personalities are mixed together. Although Bai Yulang's personality is more dominant, he is still somewhat influenced by Xiao Shilang.
Even now, she still knows to bring up the matter of being reserved.
Lu Chimo leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I love your unreserved side."
Bai Yulang's cheeks flushed red, but he knew it was Xiao Shilang who was blushing, not him, Bai Yulang: "Is that hairband with the young master of the Xuanwang Mansion now?"
"Um."
Then, Bai Yulang tiptoed and whispered in Lu Chimo's ear, "After this matter is resolved, we'll go to the young master's place to get the hairband back. Then, senior brother can 'dispose of' me however he wants."
"Okay." Lu Chimo looked at Bai Yulang beside him, his eyes full of tenderness and doting.
At this moment, Feng Muting and Su Fuliu were waiting for news at their residence.
Bai Yulang's voice preceded his arrival: "Brother!"
Su Fuliu was overjoyed to hear his voice: "Shilang, it's Shilang, he's back!"
Bai Yulang ran in first and went to Su Fuliu: "Brother, I'm back!"
With red eyes, Su Fuliu looked Bai Yulang up and down, and was relieved to see that he was unharmed: "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
“Brother, you don’t know that Xiao…” Bai Yulang said, glancing at Feng Muting, “Brother, let’s go to your room to talk.”
"What?" Su Fuliu asked, puzzled. He looked at Feng Muting as well. "Tinglang is no stranger to us. Why can't we say things to his face?"
"I know, but I just want to go to the room to say it. Hey brother, let's go!" Bai Yulang tugged at Su Fuliu's hand.
"Alright then." Su Fuliu couldn't possibly refuse, so she nodded and left with Bai Yulang.
Normally, Feng Muting would definitely stop him. He wouldn't dare let his A-Liu be alone with this frivolous Bai Yulang, lest she be led astray again.
However, as soon as Bai Yulang entered, he wanted to take Su Fuliu away, while Lu Chimo stood aside without saying a word.
It was obvious that Bai Yulang wanted to get Su Fuliu away so that Lu Chimo could tell him something that Su Fuliu couldn't know.
Therefore, he did not stop him. Only after Bai Yulang took Su Fuliu away did he speak with a hint of unease, "You can talk about it now."
Chapter 517 Right now, I am Yulang
Lu Chimo's first words were an apology, which puzzled Feng Muting.
He then told Feng Muting the whole story.
After listening, Feng Muting finally understood why Lu Chimo had apologized.
But what could he say? Lu Chimo risked his life to save Bai Yulang and unknowingly poisoned Xiao Shixun. If it weren't for this so-called Lijiang Secret Gu, Lu Chimo would have already avenged Su Fuliu.
No one expected that Xiao Shixun would be so insane as to have planted such a troublesome Gu poison on him and Su Fuliu.
"Don't you have a solution?" Feng Muting knew it was pointless to ask this question. After all, if there were a solution, Lu Chimo wouldn't have to apologize. But he was still unwilling to give up and wanted to ask.
“I don’t have any ideas, but I don’t know if Young Master Su has any solutions,” Lu Chimo replied. “I was thinking of talking to the Prince about this first. As for whether to talk to Young Master Su, or how to talk to him, that’s up to the Prince.”
Meanwhile, Su Fuliu followed Bai Yulang back to his room and asked, "What does Shilang want to tell me? Is it because you're injured but can't say it in front of your senior brother?"
As she spoke, Su Fuliu prepared to take Bai Yulang's pulse.
Bai Yulang shook his head: "No, brother, don't be so nervous or worried. I'm really fine. With my clever mind, what can he do to me?"
Su Fuliu was still worried, so she reached out and took his pulse to make sure he was really alright before she felt at ease: "Then what did you want to say to me when you called me to the room alone?"
"Oh, well, actually I've wanted to ask you this for a while, but I just haven't found the right opportunity, so I'm just asking now."
Su Fuliu looked at Bai Yulang's "ill-intentioned" expression, somewhat puzzled: "What do you want to ask?"
"So... what did you and the prince do during those five days?" Bai Yulang replied.
Su Fuliu's face turned red instantly.
Bai Yulang continued, "Five days, you must have tried all sorts of tricks, so I'm quite curious, were there any particularly special tricks?"
Su Fuliu was so ashamed to speak when she saw Bai Yulang's eager-to-learn appearance.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Bai Yulang continued, "What I'm more curious about is that, given your personality, you would either be terrified of the prince or furious with him afterward. But you actually looked so happy. Was it because the prince served you too well for the past five days? That shouldn't be the case. You even got a fever from being served by him."
After hearing this, Su Fuliu's ears turned bright red: "Shilang, you, how can you be so indecent again!"
Bai Yulang said confidently, "Right now, I am Yulang."
"..." Su Fuliu was speechless for a moment, too embarrassed to look at Bai Yulang, so he turned away. If he had known that Bai Yulang had called him here to talk about these things, he would never have come along.
Seeing this, Bai Yulang came closer and asked with a grin, "Brother, is there something tied to your foot? Why is there a sound when you walk? Although the sound is very soft and easy to ignore, I can hear it clearly."
Upon hearing this, Su Fuliu involuntarily pulled her foot back, and her face began to flush.
"Ah, really, no wonder you look so happy. This must be a gift from the Prince. You're so easy to please. A single gift made you so happy that the Prince ate it for five days straight without leaving a trace." Bai Yulang clicked his tongue twice.
Chapter 518 Brother, the Prince is glaring at me
“This gift has a different meaning. It is a token of love from the prince. This jade bracelet will make a sound when you walk. The prince said that every sound is him saying that he loves me.”
Although he was shy, Su Fuliu couldn't help but speak up when he thought of the significance of the Jade Linglong. It was Feng Muting's love for him and the source of his happiness.
Bai Yulang pouted, looking at Su Fuliu whose face was steaming, and he couldn't help but feel jealous.
He didn't even have a token of love...
Originally, he just wanted to get Su Fuliu away, so he casually brought up a topic to tease her, even though it was a topic he had always wanted to ask.
But instead of getting an answer, I ended up feeling envious.
Who would have thought that this fierce-looking prince could be so romantic?
Look at the sweet talk he gave his brother, it's so sour! Humph!
"Then tell me, brother, how did the prince show his love for you during those five days?" Bai Yulang asked again, still more curious about this.
"..." Su Fuliu was too embarrassed to answer this question no matter what.
Seeing this, Bai Yulang changed his approach and told Su Fuliu the way he knew. All Su Fuliu needed to do was nod or shake his head.
After asking around, Su Fuliu couldn't take it anymore and ran to cover herself with the blanket.
Liu Baiyulang shook his head: "Really, really, this prince is too bad. Look at what he's done to my brother. No wonder he couldn't hold on and got a fever later. If I were to be treated like this by the prince, pui pui pui, I misspoke. If my senior brother and I were treated like this, I would get sick too."
"Alright, Yulang, stop talking. You...you should switch back to Shilang!" Su Fuliu said, huddled under the covers.
"Brother, you can't do this. Yulang and Shilang are both your own brothers. You can't abandon Yulang and choose Shilang instead." Bai Yulang said, and walked towards the bedside.
Before she even reached the bedside, Feng Muting and Lu Chimo came in.
