After she finished speaking, she saw the man's face tighten slightly.
"If you're here to seek knowledge, then go to the place where you should. This isn't where you belong. Leave."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou didn't linger. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard the man speak again.
"However, this place is only for inner - chamber disciples. How did you get in? I remember there are no other passages here."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou was slightly stunned. She remembered the small path just now. It was she herself who found it. Thinking this way, she more or less understood that the place just now should be the medicine garden of the Qingyun Sect.
Thinking of this, Tang Youyou immediately replied, "No, I climbed over the wall from the front gate. I just wanted to see your true appearance."
After she finished speaking, Tang Youyou saw the man staring straight at her, with a hint of probing in his eyes. "So, it was the guards outside who were negligent and let you in, right?"
Saying this, the man glanced at Tang Youyou and snorted, "Come with me."
Tang Youyou thought the man had changed his mind, but unexpectedly, he took her to the main gate of the Qingyun Sect. Looking at the guards standing guard seriously at the gate, the man slowly said,
"How were you keeping watch? How could you let someone sneak in?"
Facing the man's interrogation, the guards didn't shirk their responsibility. They immediately lowered their heads and apologized, "Sorry, Your Honor. It was our negligence that allowed someone to get in. We'll go and accept the punishment right away."
Saying this, the guard put down the things in his hands and walked towards a dark - looking school building on the other side. Allegedly, it was the place for accepting punishment, probably a disguised version of the punishment department.
Seeing this, the man handed Tang Youyou over to the two guards at the gate and then returned to the school building.
Looking at these tall and strong men in front of her, Tang Youyou smiled awkwardly. "Well, I came here just to seek knowledge. Since I'm not allowed in, I'll leave now."
After she finished speaking, under the death - glare of these men, Tang Youyou buried her head and quickly left in big strides.
When she looked back, she saw that there were two more soldiers behind her. These two soldiers followed her down the mountain and then went back.
Well, it was a bit too harsh just to make sure she left the mountain. They even sent people to follow her.
After thinking it over and over again, Tang Youyou always felt that the man she saw just now didn't seem to be the madman the old woman had described. He looked like a handsome and elegant scholar. Could he really be the one who killed her mother?
It didn't seem so. If she made a mistake, things would be troublesome later.
Moreover, the Gu poison on Rong Xun couldn't wait any longer. If she couldn't solve the matter here quickly, Rong Xun might not be able to hold on.
She didn't know what kind of love Gu Wen Ruxue had put on him.
Thinking of this, Tang Youyou came to the small path that Xiaoxiao had taken her through again. This time, she easily found the way and quickly returned to the mountain peak.
She looked at the medicine garden here and saw that there were quite a few rare medicinal herbs in it, many of which she needed.
However, Xiaoxiao had said before that all the things here were highly poisonous. If she really wanted to take them, she must have the antidote.
Tang Youyou walked up to a Snow Lotus of the Ice Mountain. Looking at this beautiful flower, she slowly bent down and studied it for a long time.
The herbs here were different from ordinary ones. They were much more colorful.
Seeing this, Tang Youyou basically understood that the herbs themselves were not poisonous. Instead, someone had coated them with a layer of venom. Under the cover of this venom, the herbs here became colorful.
As the saying goes, the more colorful the herb, the more poisonous it is. This is inevitable.
Tang Youyou went to the small stream in the distance. She used a big palm leaf to scoop up some water and poured it on the colorful herbs.
After a while, it seemed that the herbs shed a layer of color. Layer after layer of thick liquid flowed down from the herbs. Finally, the herbs became the same color as ordinary ones.
Now, Tang Youyou finally took action. She ransacked all these herbs. All the useful and rare ones were taken away without leaving a single one.
It was also to avenge her mother who had been hurt by these people before. Thinking of this, Tang Youyou took some more medicinal herbs.
Following the small path, Tang Youyou came to the back of the school building.
But she didn't see the man from before.
She carefully avoided the guards and motioned for Ye Yue behind her to follow closely. She didn't notice that Ye Yue was already carrying a lot of big and small bags on his back.
Although he was struggling, he still responded to Tang Youyou, "Yes, I'll obey your order."
Ye Yue was more capable than she had expected. Half of the herbs on that one - mu field were carried away by him. He also fetched water back and forth more than a dozen times.
What made her even happier was that some of these herbs could completely suppress the Gu poison in Rong Xun's body. They were ten times more effective than the pills she had made before.
In this way, even if they couldn't find the mother Gu worm, Rong Xun wouldn't lose his life.
But just as she feared, Ye Yue saw an eagle flying in the sky. This eagle was hovering above them, chirping as if it were constantly saying something.
Tang Youyou looked at Ye Yue beside her curiously. Seeing Ye Yue frowning tightly, she asked, "Is something wrong with Rong Xun?"
Hearing this, Ye Yue nodded and explained, "This eagle has been with the Emperor for many years. It came out to look for us today. It's probably that the Emperor is in trouble."
After Ye Yue finished speaking, he looked at Tang Youyou and sighed helplessly. "If we keep delaying like this, maybe by the time we get back, the Emperor will be in critical condition."
He said it euphemistically, but Tang Youyou naturally understood what Ye Yue meant. However, if she went back this time, it would be extremely difficult for her to come out again.
Rong Xun would definitely not let her do anything risky. But human life was at stake. She could only put aside her hatred and turn around to leave with Ye Yue.
Seeing this, Ye Yue finally let out a sigh of relief. "Empress, the Emperor has always been thinking about you. But every time you misunderstand him. This time when we go back, I dare to ask the Empress to sit down and have a good chat with the Emperor seriously."
Ye Yue really couldn't stand seeing the situation between the two of them. He didn't want their conflict to become more and more serious.
