The ending tone was deliberately dragged out with a bit of disgust. Yun Guike, as the person involved, was not angry at all. Instead, he looked surprised.

"Wei Mingzhou, are you here to save me?"

As he was about to rush towards the direction of the sound, Wan Shufang quickly grabbed him.

"Have you forgotten the fake Wei Mingzhou?"

Upon hearing this, the joy on Yun Guike's face seemed to be doused by a basin of ice water, and his expression gradually became stiff.

"Someone is pretending to be me? Senior Xia, what you did is a bit dishonest."

After hearing what Wan Shufang said to Yun Guike, Wei Mingzhou walked out from the darkness.

He is very similar to the fake Wei Mingzhou, but his temperament is very rebellious and he doesn't have the gentle and approachable feeling at all.

Looking at him like this, Wan Shufang couldn't help but glance at Yun Guike.

There seems to be a world of difference between the fake and the real one. How come Yun Guike couldn't tell them apart? Could it be that he was too blinded by the surprise?

Feeling Wan Shufang's gaze, Yun Guike looked at her blankly.

He wanted to ask Wan Shufang why she was looking at him like that. Wan Shufang saw through his thoughts and quickly retracted her gaze. She sighed slightly and said, "Doctor Wei is different from what I thought. But how do you prove that this is the real Doctor Wei?"

Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. Wan Shufang thinks this saying makes sense. After all, these people will do anything to achieve their goals.

If she wasn't careful, she could easily be deceived again.

She couldn't afford to be cheated in her current situation, so she had to be more careful than before.

"You're quite an interesting person." Wei Mingzhou squinted at Wan Shufang, his tone very strange, "No wonder you won the praise of Senior Xia, but it's a pity that your identity means you won't be trusted by them."

Hearing this, Wan Shufang looked at him in surprise.

Facing his rather puzzled look, Wan Shufang always felt that his words seemed to have another meaning.

Frowning and thinking for a moment, Wan Shufang had no idea. She tried her best to suppress the feeling and said in a calm tone: "Why did Doctor Wei say that? Could it be that you have already surrendered to them?"

"Wei Mingzhou, these people are all traitors, don't be confused!" Yun Guike's face changed slightly when he heard Wan Shufang's words.

"I'm not like you. I won't become confused before I get old." Wei Mingzhou glared at Yun Guike with disdain, then walked up to Wan Shufang and looked down at her.

"You are very courageous, and I admire you very much. Unfortunately, where you and I are is not very good. In order to survive, no matter how much I admire you, I can only treat you as an enemy."

There was something else behind Wei Mingzhou's words. After Wan Shufang noticed it, she had other thoughts in her mind.

She immediately smiled and replied: "These rebels are not good enough to be on the stage. We are no match for them, so we can only bow down to them. Otherwise, why would we meet here?"

Wei Mingzhou laughed loudly upon hearing this: "You are a very good person, much better than the Doctor Lin who appeared in front of me before."

"Is Doctor Lin with you? How is he? Is he injured?" Upon hearing the news from Doctor Lin, Wan Shufang was surprised and happy.

"His medical skills are pretty good. No matter how angry He Zhiming is with him, he is willing to give him a chance." Wei Mingzhou ignored the glances from Old Man Xia and continued, "Logically, he should thank He Zhiming. After all, without He Zhiming, he would have died this time."

"But he was very stubborn. If I hadn't met him and brought him to my side, he would have angered He Zhiming and died quietly."

Wei Mingzhou met Doctor Lin half an hour ago. He learned about Wan Shufang and her husband from him. Only then did he realize that the poisons and insects he had been researching for self-protection had been used on Chen Changli.

He couldn't help feeling guilty, so he ignored the obstruction of others and went straight to Old Man Xia. Unexpectedly, Yun Guike was there too.

Thinking that Yun Guike was kidnapped here because of his fault, Wei Mingzhou felt sorry for him and couldn't help feeling annoyed.

He was highly regarded for his mastery of witchcraft, but when he was first kidnapped to the royal manor, he was prepared to die.

It's just because this group of people are so unscrupulous. Not only did they kidnap people in broad daylight, they also threatened me in various ways.

He became famous at a young age, and his medical skills were unrivaled in the world, so much so that even a position like the Chief Judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau could not impress him. How could this group of rebels think that their verbal inducements could impress him?

Wei Mingzhou, who was unwilling to surrender, argued with Liu Yaoyao for a long time, but Liu Yaoyao threatened him with other people's lives. In addition, his family members were found and were under the control of Liu Yaoyao.

The pride and reluctance in Wei Mingzhou's heart were suppressed by the lives of so many people. For the sake of others' survival, he could only compromise with Liu Yaoyao.

Afterwards, he was taken to the underground palace by Liu Yaoyao and ordered to study the Phoenix Gu with other poison masters.

Seeing the prescription for Phoenix Gu and the medicine prepared by these people, Wei Mingzhou was extremely frightened.

These people are crazy for using human lives to make Gu, and it is impossible to reason with common sense.

As a normal person, he was placed here. If he didn't find a way to save himself, he would either be assimilated or thrown into the furnace as a medicine.

Unfortunately, the underground palace was heavily guarded. Even though Wei Mingzhou resisted various poison masters and wanted to avoid their sight and find a way to escape, he was still defeated by the guards of the underground palace.

He could only be honest and study the Phoenix Gu in a peaceful manner, but he found that some of the characteristics of the Phoenix Gu actually appeared in the medical records he had studied a few years ago.

He had a terrible idea at the time, but he didn't dare to reveal it. He could only express himself in a rebellious manner so that others would not dare to approach him.

The appearance of Dr. Lin brought him a message and also made him see a possibility.

He ran over to find someone just to confirm whether his idea was true or not.

Yun Guike’s appearance was unexpected, but it made him feel a lot more relaxed.

"In short, Dr. Lin has realized his mistake after my advice. He has started to correct it and decided to do his best to help me."

"Yun Guike, what about you? Are you ready to help me?"

"Have you surrendered to these rebels?" Yun Guike listened to Wei Mingzhou's words and hesitated for a long time before asking this question.

Wei Mingzhou was stunned for a while, and sighed repeatedly: "I just asked you to help me, not to kill anyone, why are you acting like you're forcing a good woman into prostitution? Am I so untrustworthy in your heart?"

As he said this, he glared at Yun Guike in annoyance. If there weren't a few outsiders present, he really wanted to knock Yun Guike on the head and make him reflect on himself.

"Doctor Wei, Doctor Yun is just worried about our situation, so he has to be cautious." Wan Shufang quickly explained for Yun Guike, and then asked him, "What do you want him to help you with? But it's related to the Phoenix Gu."
