In the Jiuli Clan, some people specialize in Mechanical Arts, becoming mechanists like Jiao Ling; some are devoted to martial arts, and reach the pinnacle like Fen Jiu; while others specialize in Poisonous Insect Techniques, becoming gu masters, who have a unique emblem.

This emblem is different from the mark of awakening the nine clan bloodline; it is tattooed on.

Jiao Ling clearly remembers that there was a blue scorpion tattooed on Wei Yu's left chest.

Back then, they were newlyweds, naturally inseparable, so she knew Wei Yu had a scorpion tattooed, yet she never imagined it would become her most terrifying nightmare.

"Why did he give you that Poisonous Insect? How could he bear to?" Jiao Ling suddenly lost control of her emotions and angrily shouted at Wu Wanqing.

If not for that Poisonous Insect, he abandoned his own daughter, using her to feed the gu, why was he willing to give it to the disciple?

Wu Wanqing laughed, "Do you know him? I heard he married, so it wouldn't be you, right?"

Her tone was contemptuous, and she sized up Jiao Ling. Fen Jiu beside her got angry and hit Wu Wanqing in the face, making half of her face swell.

"Fine, fight as you wish. Anyway, the dead Bai Ruolan doesn't matter, as long as the Poisonous Insect doesn't die, I can still bring someone back to life!" Wu Wanqing shouted angrily, her eyes blazing red.

"Wu Wanqing, I advise you to tell the truth, and suffer less pain." Bai Ruozhu said, staring at Wu Wanqing.

Wu Wanqing laughed loudly, "Am I not suffering enough now? Do you really want to know? Well, I won't tell you then!"

Bai Ruozhu's face fell, did she think she was out of options?

She secretly instructed Furball to use illusion on Wu Wanqing, and soon Wu Wanqing's expression became blank, no longer speaking, her eyes open but unfocused.

"I've used an illusion on her, so everyone can just enjoy the show slowly." Bai Ruozhu secretly praised Furball, though she felt using this illusion on Wu Wanqing was a bit wasteful, she was curious to see what secrets Wu Wanqing and Gufeng were hiding.

After a while, Wu Wanqing's face showed a look of terror, speaking to the air, "Master, Master, why are you here? I planned to recover and find you, but didn't want to be caught by them. How dare I take the Life Gu for myself?"

Then Wu Wanqing touched her neck and cried out in pain, "Let go of me! Once I'm dead, you can find a suitable host? You had your daughter as the host back then, wasn't she killed by the backlash of the Poisonous Insect? If you can't find a suitable candidate, aren't you afraid that Phoenix Poisonous Insect will escape on its own?"

She soon relaxed her hands, laughing seductively, "You have my body, so are you afraid I'll leave you? Instead of being suspicious of me, why not find Fen Gu? With the mythical divine gu pair, aren't you fearless of ruling the world?"

Her expression quickly changed again, "Don't be too greedy, Phoenix Poisonous Insect won't choose a man as a host. You use me to nurture it, do you really think you can take it back for yourself? It won't listen to your commands!"

Jiao Ling trembled, muttering to herself, "I will kill Wei Yu, I will kill Wei Yu!"

Fen Jiu lovingly embraced Jiao Ling's shoulders. Back then, they were both outstanding members of the young generation of Jiuli Clan, but Wei Yu was undoubtedly the most outstanding.

Wei Yu excelled in both literature and martial arts, not only strong in martial arts, but also a remarkable gu master. Moreover, Wei Yu was handsome and had a calm demeanor. In contrast, Fen Jiu was not bad-looking but was childish and always bickering with Jiao Ling, so the mature and caring Wei Yu finally captured Jiao Ling's heart.

Fen Jiu had regrets, blaming himself for being too dumb, not knowing how to speak sweetly, or make Jiao Ling happy, always making her angry. Hence, he didn't blame Jiao Ling for choosing Wei Yu. Later, when Jiao Ling married Wei Yu, although Fen Jiu was heartbroken, he sincerely blessed them, never expecting that within three years, Wei Yu would become a monster, heartbroken and insane, killing his daughter and betraying his clan.

Wu Wanqing said much more similar things after that, and Bai Ruozhu sifted through them, gaining clarity on a few things.

Back then, Wei Yu somehow obtained a mythical divine gu, but it was only the female gu, the Phoenix Poisonous Insect as Wu Wanqing called it, and he knew these gu insects came in pairs, also having a Fen Gu. Because the Phoenix Poisonous Insect couldn't choose him as its host, he made his daughter the host, unknowingly causing his daughter's death due to backlash.

In other words, back then, Wei Yu didn't use the daughter to feed the gu, but rather used his daughter's body to nurture the gu!

This is even more disgusting than before, the Jiuli gu masters nurtured gu, but theirs is different from Wei Yu's using a body to nurture gu; Wei Yu went mad, making himself neither human nor ghost, yet wanted to destroy his daughter's life.

If his daughter had survived, she might either become perverted like him or suffer her entire life.

Moreover, he wanted to pair the Fen Gu and Phoenix Poisonous Insect with his own daughter...

Bai Ruozhu felt disgusted. If she met that Gufeng, she must kill him!

Additionally, Wu Wanqing was inadvertently recognized by the Phoenix Poisonous Insect, and Gufeng probably found it beneficial to have Wu Wanqing's body for nurturing the gu, or it made it easier for him to control Wu Wanqing.

At this point, Wu Wanqing already came out of the illusion, and Furball fell asleep in the Space of Bai Ruozhu.

"What did you do to me?" Wu Wanqing screamed wildly. Jiang Yichun suddenly stepped forward and sealed her major acupoint, pushing her completely back into the medicine liquid.

Wu Wanqing became a medicine person again, soaking in the vat, neither eating nor drinking, sustained only through the medicine liquid.

Jiao Ling broke down sobbing uncontrollably, Bai Ruozhu listened painfully, and just when she wanted to comfort, Jiao Ling's body went limp, fainting in Fen Jiu's arms.

"No problem, she's just too tired and too agitated. I'll take her back to sleep, and she'll be fine when she wakes up." Fen Jiu said, "She is stronger than you all realize."

After speaking, he picked up Jiao Ling and left with large strides.

Jiang Yichun also lifted Bai Ruozhu horizontally, "You can't exhaust yourself too much, I'll carry you back as well."

Bai Ruozhu's face flushed a little, but she knew he was right. She leaned her head against his chest, sighing slightly, "I suspect the Fen Gu Wei Yu is seeking is the one on Saihan's body. After Saihan died, the gu insect flew away with his head, and I don't know where it went now. Could it already be captured by Wei Yu?"

Jiang Yichun tightened his embrace, "Silly, don't think too much, your most important task now is postpartum care."

"Alright, I'll take care of myself obediently and not stress." Bai Ruozhu smiled, leaned into his embrace, and fell asleep.

He carried her back to the room, not wanting to wake her, he sat on the bed holding her. Her posture was comfortable, but he remained tense without a word of complaint, just holding her until he too finally drifted off to sleep.

Outside, Min Xiang and Min Ju gently closed the door, shared a smile, so delighted the master is so well cared for!
