Yuechu'e pursed her lips: "But wasn't Young Master Gu injured?"

"If he is burned by the fire poison again, his injuries will be further aggravated..."

Gu Jinzhao stroked her cheek, clearly feeling the intense heat emanating from her: "We can't just stand by and watch Madam suffer from the fire poison."

At the beginning of the month, Yue'e felt a warmth in her heart, her eyes filled with tenderness, and even the resentment in her heart dissipated.

Without a doubt, Gu Jinzhao has feelings for her.

Otherwise, why would he still be thinking of her even after getting injured?

Gu Jinzhao seemed to remember something and took out a bottle of herbal oil from his storage ring: "This oil is made from a hundred kinds of spiritual ingredients and can nourish blood and moisturize the meridians."

"Applying some to the wound and then expelling the fire poison will benefit both of us."

Yuechu'e took it, poured some into her palm, and gently applied it to the wound: "Will this make you feel better?"

A cool sensation washed over him, instantly relieving the burning pain, and Gu Jinzhao let out a soft "hmm".

Chu Yue'e blushed and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and will worsen Young Master Gu's injuries... You should cleanse him of the fire poison."

Without hesitation, Gu Jinzhao embraced the soft, warm body and continued to exorcise the fire poison...

……

Night had fallen, and all was quiet.

In the west courtyard of the Gu residence, candles still burned in Gu Jinzhao's room.

Wearing a moon-white silk nightgown, Mu Yiren tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Why hasn't Gu Lang returned yet?

"Could it be that they're still dealing with those backlogged files?"

Before the words were finished, the door creaked open.

Mu Yiren was overjoyed and quickly sat up. "Gu Lang, you're finally back—"

He stopped before he could finish saying "come back".

The person who came was not Gu Jinchao, but a little girl wearing a scarlet nightgown.

Mu Yiren's smile vanished instantly, replaced by her usual aloofness: "Why are you here?"

Yu Fengzhi sat down gracefully, poured herself a glass of water, and took a sip: "I've come to tell Sister Mu that Brother probably won't be coming back tonight."

Mu Yiren asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Yu Fengzhi explained, "When I finished my shift, I went to look for my brother, but he was no longer in the duty room."

"I asked the gatekeeper, and he said that my brother rode the Snow Steed to the East Ward."

"After asking a few more people on the street, we finally confirmed that he had gone to the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce."

"Wanhua Chamber of Commerce?" Mu Yiren frowned slightly. "What is Gu Lang going there for?"

Yu Fengzhi feigned surprise: "Didn't Brother tell Sister Mu?"

"Tell what?"

“My brother has a deal with Lady Na’e. Lady Na’e will search for rare and precious items for him, and in return, he will regularly visit the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce to cleanse them of fire poison.”

After listening, Mu Yiren fell silent.

Gu Jinzhao went to Madam E's residence in the middle of the night to exorcise the fire poison, but he never even mentioned it to her.

She had heard of Yueyue'e before; she was not only incredibly wealthy but also possessed unparalleled beauty.

It's easy to imagine how attractive such a woman would be to men.

Who knows what might happen when the two are alone in a room.

Seeing Mu Yiren's uncertain expression, Yu Fengzhi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the corners of her lips curled up into a smile.

She had long suspected that Gu Jinzhao's relationship with that vixen was not simple.

Otherwise, why would Yueyue'e have teased Gu Jinchao like that at Jinlu Pavilion that day?

To this end, she even infiltrated the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce to find out what the relationship between the two was.

Unfortunately, not only did she fail to catch them in the act, but she was also falsely accused, which infuriated her.

Tonight, after learning that Gu Jinzhao had gone to see that vixen again and had not returned yet, I originally intended to go to the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce again.

But remembering the lesson learned last time, he suppressed that impulse.

After all, her current identity is Gu Jinzhao's younger sister.

Even if someone wanted to catch someone cheating, it wouldn't be her turn!

After all, Gu Jinzhao's junior sister and childhood sweetheart are currently living in the Gu residence.

Especially Mu Yiren after she entered into a state of enlightenment and spiritual understanding!

That possessiveness and jealousy were simply terrifying.

If she knew about this, she definitely wouldn't be able to resist and would rush to catch them in the act.

As Yu Fengzhi had expected, after a moment of silence, Mu Yiren slowly got up and began to change her clothes.

Yu Fengzhi asked knowingly, "Where is Sister Mu going?"

Mu Yiren narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing in her double pupils: "Go to the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce and catch them in the act!"

Yu Fengzhi was secretly delighted, but her face showed worry: "Madam Na'e is the president of the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce, with a cultivation level of at least the third rank, and her status is comparable to that of the four sect leaders."

"If Sister Mu goes directly to her door, I'm afraid she will not only offend her, but also cause conflict between the Dao Realm and the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce..."

She acted rashly last time when she went to catch her husband cheating because of her mental decline.

If I could do it all over again, it would never be like this.

Mu Yiren had already changed into a white tiger-patterned dress from the Supervisory Office and said matter-of-factly, "I am not only a Dao Realm disciple, but also a centurion of the Supervisory Office, and I am responsible for supervising Yujing City."

“I had previously received information that some evil cultivators had infiltrated the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce, so I decided to investigate.”

'Isn't this blatant lying?'

'The Wanhua Chamber of Commerce is teeming with hidden talents, and it's also protected by a powerful array. Which evil cultivator would dare to cause trouble there?'

Yu Fengzhi inwardly complained, but did not hesitate and changed her clothes.

Unbeknownst to them, the calico cat, which had been sleeping soundly by the window, had somehow perked up its ears and overheard their entire conversation.

Taking advantage of the moment when the two women were changing clothes, he took out a golden talisman from his tiny pouch and then raised his little paw to write crookedly on it.

[Miss and Feng'er are going to the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce to catch them in the act of adultery. Please inform me, Young Master!]

The words rotated and disappeared from the talisman in an instant.

"As expected of the Imperial Guard's top secret agent!"

The calico cat shifted into a more comfortable position, lay on the windowsill, and continued to sleep soundly.

Chapter 243, "The man I've set my sights on, no one can take away from me!" (3K)

Because of his status as a centurion in the military command, the guards on night patrol did not stop him.

In less than fifteen minutes, the two women arrived at the streets and alleys near the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce.

Under the moonlight, the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce's buildings stood tall with upturned eaves, and lights shone through the window lattices, dyeing the night sky with an ambiguous warm color.

Yu Fengzhi landed beside Mu Yiren and asked telepathically, "There's a large formation surrounding this place, what does Sister Mu plan to do?"

She could sense that the Chamber of Commerce's array seemed to have been reinforced considerably compared to her last visit. With her fourth-rank cultivation level, she feared it would be difficult to infiltrate silently.

"I have double pupils, so the great formation is useless to me."

Mu Yiren raised her eyes to look at the towering pavilion, her tone calm.

In the vision of the double pupils, an invisible light curtain covering the entire Wanhua Chamber of Commerce was clearly visible.

Where is the key point of the formation, where is the gate of life and the gate of death? There is nowhere to hide.

She took out a jade talisman from her storage ring and infused it with spiritual power.

The talisman transformed into a curtain of light, enveloping the two of them.

Their figures disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they had merged into the world.

"Conceal your aura and follow me."

Mu Yiren whispered a reminder, then lightly touched the ground with her delicate feet and disappeared into the great formation like a ghost.

This great formation is not a killing formation, but an illusion formation.

Even a fourth-grade cultivator who enters without knowledge of formations will be trapped and lose their way amidst layers of illusions.

But for Mu Yiren, it was not difficult.

Because her double pupils allow her to see through all the illusions of the world, the illusion array is nothing more than a thin layer of paper in front of her, which can be easily punctured.

In just a few breaths, she entered the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce and landed lightly in a shadowy spot.

Yu Fengzhi followed closely behind and quietly transmitted her voice: "Lady E should be living on the fifth floor."

Mu Yiren was slightly taken aback and turned to look at her: "How did you know?"

Yu Fengzhi's eyes flickered slightly: "The highest level of the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce is the fifth floor. As the president, Madam E is naturally the most likely person to live there."

She naturally wouldn't mention that she had already been here before.

Mu Yiren nodded and did not ask any further questions.

With a few leaps, the two landed quietly on the eaves of the fifth floor.

Yu Fengzhi condensed a faint wisp of sword intent at her fingertips: "There is another isolating restriction here. Should I use my sword intent to cut it open?"

"Need not."

Mu Yiren narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, her embedded purple pupils swirling, her gaze piercing through the restrictions and walls, taking in everything inside the room.

The next moment, she was slightly taken aback.

"What did you see?" Yu Fengzhi asked hurriedly, "What are you doing with that vixen... Lady E?"

Mu Yiren shook her head: "I didn't do anything."

In the scene reflected by the double pupils, Gu Jinzhao and Yuechu'e are dressed neatly and sitting cross-legged on a futon facing each other, their palms touching, presumably exorcising the fire poison.

Yu Fengzhi frowned: "That's impossible... Could it be that they discovered us in advance and are deliberately putting on an act?"

Mu Yiren said calmly, "The jade talisman I just crushed was a Saint-grade talisman, the Heavenly Escape Talisman. Even if Lady E's cultivation has reached the third grade, she would hardly be able to detect it."

She obtained this talisman in an ancient secret realm. It can be used three times, and she has already used it once.

Yu Fengzhi pursed her lips, a hint of doubt rising in her heart: "Could it be that he and that vixen really have nothing going on?"

"Let's go back."

Mu Yiren turned and left.

Since neither of them had overstepped their bounds, there was no need for them to linger any longer.

Otherwise, if discovered by the powerful members of the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce, even though his status as a centurion of the Supervisory Military Office would prevent a conflict, he would still inevitably face some trouble.

Although Yu Fengzhi was somewhat unwilling, she had no choice but to leave.

"They're finally gone...that was close."

Inside the room, Gu Jinzhao let out a long sigh of relief.

Tonight, thanks to the calico cat's tip-off, otherwise things would have been in trouble.

Ever since Yu Fengzhi caught him cheating, it has left him with a considerable shadow.

Once something like this happens, it's bound to happen again.

Moreover, Yu Fengzhi is not the only one living in the Gu residence now; Lin Qingci and Mu Yiren also reside there.

If we don't take precautions in advance, something bad might happen.

If that triggers a romantic entanglement, it might be difficult to control the situation.

Therefore, Gu Jinchao specially found a calico cat and appointed her as the White Tiger Spy, in the capacity of a commander of the Imperial Guard, to be responsible only for him.
