Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

It was a smile.

An incredibly happy smile.

Her eyes were filled with excitement, yet tears streamed down her face.

Because at this moment, she finally realized that her legs were still usable!

Her leg is healed!

This moment came so suddenly, yet it brought me such joy!

Langya held Chi Junlin's hand tightly for a moment without letting go.

He kept saying, "Thank you... thank you..."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

He nestled into Chi Junlin's embrace.

It seems like she wants to vent all the grievances, resentment, and fear she's accumulated over the years in a hysterical outburst.

Chi Junlin gently patted her back, letting her cry in his arms.

Although she had never experienced the same emotions as Langya, she could still empathize with him.

This feeling of something hard to come by... the feeling of something lost and then found again...

Perhaps, those who have never experienced loss cannot truly understand...

Just as Chi Junlin was doing his best to help Langya heal her legs, the former "Ghost Doctor" burst into tears in her arms.

On the other side of the haunted building, Wenren Xuan was leaning against the windowsill, staring blankly at the starry sky.

She may have heard Langya's cries and knew what Chi Junlin was doing at that moment.

However, none of these things mattered to her.

Everything seemed to pale in comparison to Wenren Xuan's complex state of mind at that moment.

At this moment, Wenren Xuan was holding a dagger.

A delicate dagger that Chi Junlin had previously plunged into the chest without hesitation, but which could move due to its internal mechanism.

Wenren Xuan seemed lost in thought, staring at the dagger with a somewhat dazed expression.

Her heart was filled with a myriad of lights, and countless stars seemed to be reflected in it.

Yet not one of them truly belonged to him.

At that moment, a shooting star streaked across the sky.

It is a glimmer of light in the long, dark night.

She saw the shooting star, and something seemed to be on her mind.

Perhaps in that instant, Wenren Xuan felt a certain longing in his heart for that messenger from the heavens.

But just like a meteor that passes through the atmosphere and falls to the ground, it will eventually be burned to ashes.

Did Wenren Xuan ever foresee her own brilliant and dazzling end, like a shooting star?

-

After healing the legs of the Ghost Doctor Langya, the next day...

Despite Chi Junlin's repeated attempts to dissuade him, Langya stubbornly chose to travel with Chi Junlin and Wenren Xuan.

In Langya's words, Chi Junlin healed her leg, which meant he had done her a great favor.

Regardless of Chi Junlin's thoughts, Langya's principle is to repay kindness.

After learning about the miasma that had occurred in Chi Junlin's camp, she insisted on going to help them detoxify.

Although this is what Chi Junlin wanted to see, it didn't have to be for her.

After all, Chi Junlin had always treated the treatment of Langya as a fair trade from the beginning.

Because Langya cured Wenren Xuan of the deadly poison, Chi Junlin healed her legs.

But one code equals another.

Chi Junlin thought it was fair, but Langya and Wenren Xuan didn't see it that way.

Each of the three has their own principles and logic.

So in the end, they set off together in a daze.

Soon, they left Ghost Valley and arrived at the camp of the Southern Martial Arts World.

Another point worth mentioning is that although Langya's leg has healed, she obviously won't be able to use it again anytime soon.

But her crappy wheelchair was really unsuitable for walking on mountain roads.

So, having no other choice, Chi Junlin could only make a walking stick for her using materials found in the haunted building.

Langya then leaned on this cane, walking and stopping along the road.

Although she was extremely excited about finally being able to go out, she was able to ignore the constant pain in her legs when walking.

But Chi Junlin still couldn't keep up with her speed of advance.

So in the end, after Langya's strong protest, he carried her on his back.

Then, together with Wenren Xuan, who helped carry his cane, they hurried back to the camp.

However, upon returning to the camp, Chi Junlin noticed that the atmosphere was extremely strange.

The number of people was much smaller than before Chi Junlin arrived, and Wenren Tianxia and Feng Lingqiu were not in the camp either.

Even more terrifying, Chi Junlin discovered upon arrival that there were two dead bodies lying outside the camp.

These were the ghost prostitutes, ghost books, and ghost paintings that Chi Junlin had Wenren Tianxia bring back before.

If it weren't for Tong Yan still being there, Chi Junlin would have thought that the entire camp would have been wiped out by the Demonic Sect the day he was gone.

Upon seeing Chi Junlin, Tong Yan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said to her, "My disciple, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, I would have had to go into the mountains to find you myself!"

Seeing her grave expression, Chi Junlin immediately asked, "What happened?"

Tong Yan's expression was somewhat complicated, and it was hard to put into words.

However, before Tong Yan could explain what had happened...

Langya, leaning on his cane, glanced around with a strange expression.

Then he questioned the Red Emperor.

"You said before that the people in the camp were cursed?"

"Yeah, why?"

Langya looked at them with a strange expression and said, "Where is there any Gu here?"

I think they're clearly poisoned!

Chapter 320 The Difference Between Gu Poison

Upon hearing Langya's words, Tong Yan, who was standing to the side, immediately showed a puzzled expression.

Then he asked Chi Junlin, "Disciple, who is this...?"

Chi Junlin immediately explained, "This is the last of the Eight Eccentrics of Xiangnan, the Ghost Doctor Langya."

As he spoke, Tong Yan's gaze fell upon Langya's weak legs and cane.

Then Chi Junlin added, "Miss Langya has difficulty walking, and I healed her leg injury in Guigu. To repay me, she volunteered to come and take a look at everyone."

Upon hearing that it was the Ghost Doctor, Tong Yan's face immediately showed a respectful expression.

Because she had treated Wei Ziqing before, she knew just how ingenious the Ghost Doctor's method of suppressing cold toxins with heat toxins was.

However, when she looked at Langya, her expression was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that the legendary Ghost Doctor would be such a young girl.

Tong Yan did not question what Langya said at this moment.

Regardless of their medical skills, Langya was clearly the most knowledgeable person in the world when it came to "using poison".

But that's strange.

At the time, it was clearly the Miao people who said that the people from the southern region here had been bewitched.

Langya, however, said no.

That means one side's opinion is definitely problematic.

So Tong Yan said to Langya, "But the Miao doctor said they were afflicted with a Gu poison, and that if they didn't find a way to remove it within three days, their lives would be in danger... Could this be false?"

Langya glanced at Tong Yan with a strange expression.

Then he said, "Let me explain a very simple principle."

The Gu poison, in the first place, requires Gu worms to be used, right?

However, one Gu worm can only be used to inflict Gu on one person.

Even if someone really did cast a spell on you, with so many people here affected, how many worms would it take to have enough?

Think about it yourselves, do you think this statement is reasonable?

Upon hearing Langya's words, everyone was taken aback.

Since the group was not from Hunan, they knew very little about Gu worms and were unaware of this theory.

Chi Junlin immediately frowned and said, "It seems that the people from the Miao village lied. I just don't know whether it was the witch doctor who lied or Qiaonu who lied."

Langya shook his head and said, "None of that matters. The most important thing right now is to detoxify them as soon as possible."

"Go and find some insects and herbs as I ask. They're all here. I'll tell you what they look like, and then I'll quickly brew the antidote."

The people standing in the surrounding camp nodded in agreement.

Then, following Langya's instructions, they went to search the surrounding area for antidotes.

After everyone split up to find the antidote, Chi Junlin turned to Tong Yan and asked, "Master hasn't told me what happened here before, where Wenren Tianxia and Feng Lingqiu went."

She glanced at the corpses of Ghost Prostitute and Ghost Danqing, then frowned and asked, "And how did these two die?"

Upon hearing this, Tong Yan nodded and replied to Chi Junlin, "This matter begins yesterday."

The day before yesterday, after you left, some time later, the Miao doctor fed everyone some medicine, and everyone's condition improved slightly.

At this point, the shaman, seeing that she had run out of herbs, prepared to leave. Although we couldn't understand what she was saying, we guessed she was going back to get more. Then she left with the other Miao young men.

Strangely, they haven't returned since they left.

Not long after that, around dawn the next day, Wenren Tianxia returned with Qiaonu and the two of them.

Seeing that Feng Lingqiu was being carried by Wenren Tianxia and had sustained some injuries, I quickly bandaged her up.

Fortunately, her injury was not serious. After resting for a while and eating something, she felt better.

However, at this moment, the situation of the two Xiangnan Eight Eccentrics suddenly became very strange.

The two of them seemed to have been poisoned, suddenly becoming delirious and behaving in a very strange state.

Before I could even treat them, they both suddenly died.

However, at this moment, Wenren Tianxia noticed that there seemed to be someone around, saying that it looked like a ghost or something.

She suspected that the two were the ones who had poisoned her with the Ghost Plague, so she went to chase after them alone.

Then, Qiaonu wondered why the Miao doctor hadn't returned for so long, so she went back to the Miao village to check.

By then, Feng Lingqiu had recovered considerably, so he was to escort Qiaonu back to the village to prevent her from encountering any mishaps while she was alone.

But they left and haven't come back yet.

The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt. Seeing that none of you had returned yet, I felt something was wrong, so I decided to set off to look for you.

Fortunately, you returned before I arrived.

Tong Yan sighed again and continued, "As for the others, I have no idea where they are now."

Chi Junlin nodded, noticing that Tong Yan looked haggard, as if he had been exhausted these past few days.

She gently comforted him, "Master, don't worry too much. You still need to take care of your health and get some rest at night. You are now the commander of the Southern Martial Arts World, and the stability of the army depends on you. You can't afford to fall down like this."
