Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Yanran's words made Old Man Xia laugh. He stroked his tangled beard and raised his eyebrows proudly: "Chen Changli's life is tough enough, so the Phoenix Gu will definitely appear."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Wei Mingzhou and Wan Shufang with a gloomy look, and said sarcastically: "Although the Phoenix Gu is destined to appear in the world, it can't stop someone from making trouble."

Wan Shufang's heart skipped a beat. What did Old Man Xia mean by that? Did he realize what she had done?

"Are you doubting me?" Wei Mingzhou's eyes were extremely cold.

He was forced to bow to the rebels under threats, and he was indeed unwilling to do so.

But the poison he studied actually existed, without any water added, otherwise the Phoenix Gu would have no chance of coming into the world.

He did his duty, but Old Man Xia kept doubting him, which really made him angry.

If his strength didn't allow it, he really wanted to quit.

When Old Man Xia saw the change in Wei Mingzhou's eyes, he knew that things had to end immediately, otherwise if Wei Mingzhou was angered, things might get out of control.

He reflected that his attitude just now was indeed a bit bad, but he was unwilling to admit it. He just shirked the responsibility and said, "I didn't mean it that way. You think so."

Wei Mingzhou smiled with a fake smile: "Senior Xia, you really opened my eyes!"

He kept calling me "senior", but there was no respect in his words.

Old Man Xia was aware of this, which was why he was somewhat repulsed by him.

It was inevitable to suspect him. Old Man Xia did not think he was wrong. He just thought that Wei Mingzhou had ulterior motives and was disturbing.

"If you behave properly, I won't doubt you." Old Man Xia smiled slightly, "After all, the poison you developed played a big role in the birth of Phoenix Gu. In my heart, you are a hero. I can't believe in you enough."

His words clearly meant that he was putting the blame for the birth of the Phoenix Gu on Wei Mingzhou. In this way, Wan Shufang and Yun Guike, who did not believe in the Phoenix Gu and thought it was an evil thing, would be wary of him.

Yun Guike’s previous performance was enough to prove this point. Old Man Xia really wanted to see these people fighting each other.

"Is what he said true?" As he expected, Yun Guike asked Wei Mingzhou in an incredulous tone.

"Doctor Yun and Doctor Wei have only been researching poisons for two months, but these people have probably been researching Phoenix Gu for a hundred years. Two months is nothing compared to a hundred years."

Wan Shufang noticed that Yun Guike was in a bad mood and felt helpless.

Yun Guike is a few years older than her. Although he has no grandchildren yet, his children are all married. Why does he look more naive than her own son?

Did Yun Guike only treat the powerful during his time as a doctor? Or did he just guard his own clinic and turn a deaf ear to what was happening outside?

However, no matter which one it was, the innocence shown by Yun Guike was inappropriate in such a situation.

Wan Shufang was worried that he would hold her back and destroy the tacit understanding between her and Wei Mingzhou, so she immediately tried to stop him with words.

"No matter how talented Doctor Wei is, he can't possibly study something as evil as Phoenix Gu. I think it's impossible for him to make Phoenix Gu come into being in just two months."

"This man is lying to you. No, he is trying to sow discord. Don't listen to his words, or you will get confused."

Wei Mingzhou knew Yun Guike's temper, and he scolded him angrily: "You little bastard, what did I tell you before? It's only been over a month since we last met, have you forgotten what I said?"

Yun Guike was conflicted. “I just can’t accept that you would do anything to survive, but after hearing what Wan Shufang said, I don’t think you will become like this.”

"But the Phoenix Gu was an evil thing in the previous dynasty, and it is also a taboo in our dynasty. You helped these rebels to research it. If someone finds out about it in the future, you will probably be condemned by thousands of people."

What Yun Guike was most worried about was that after today's incident got out, Wei Mingzhou would no longer have a place to stay in Dajing.

As for other things, he knew them all and knew that Wei Mingzhou was doing what he was doing out of helplessness.

He has also been through something like this, so I can understand his choice and won't blame him.

"If that day really comes, the worst that can happen to me is to live in seclusion in the mountains." Wei Mingzhou had thought about this in his spare time and had already made plans.

Yun Guike admired him even more after hearing this, and then said, "What are you going to do next? I am willing to help you. If you are criticized by thousands of people in the future, I will accompany you."

"Hmph, naive." Hearing Wei Mingzhou appease Yun Guike with just one sentence, Old Man Xia suddenly became sarcastic.

He couldn't stand the good relationship between the two, so he exaggerated and said, "Phoenix Gu is a good thing. Wei Mingzhou is already over 50 years old, and is about to reach the age of 70. He wants Phoenix Gu to be real more than anyone else."

Yun Guike sneered: "Stop stirring up trouble here. I won't fall for it."

Old Man Xia's face almost turned black when he heard this.

Wei Mingzhou didn't want to listen to his sarcastic words anymore, so he immediately said, "Do you still want the Phoenix Gu to come out?"

Phoenix Gu is Old Man Xia's Achilles' heel. When Wei Mingzhou said this, the fire in Old Man Xia's heart was like being poured with ice water. It instantly condensed into ice, and then shattered and melted.

After a moment, he adjusted his mood and found an excuse to let Yanran leave.

Yanran felt that what he said next was very important to her and wanted to stay, but Old Man Xia was not happy and was firm in his attitude to let her leave.

Unable to compete with him, Yanran could only leave with full of sorrow.

After she left for a long time, Old Man Xia spoke up, “This poisonous water contains the blood of the Gu tribe, and the Gu tribe has been living with poisonous insects and poisonous insects since childhood. Their blood has unimaginable mysteries.”

"It is precisely because of their blood that the Phoenix Gu that I have been researching for many years has appeared. The poison you are researching is just the icing on the cake."

After emphasizing the last sentence, Old Man Xia looked down at Chen Changli, whose face was pale and looked no different from dead, and his voice suddenly changed.

"With the blood of the Gu tribe in it, how could this poison water lose its effect so quickly? Wei Mingzhou, who are you trying to fool?"

His eyes were like knives, staring at Wei Mingzhou intently, as if he wanted to scrape out all the secrets from beneath his skin.

Wei Mingzhou said without any guilt: "Perhaps Chen Changli's body is stronger than we thought, so he and Phoenix Gu merged very well."

"Do you think I will believe this?" Old man Xia sneered.

"If you don't believe it, then what are you doubting? Are you doubting that the Phoenix Gu simply can't take shape in Chen Changli's body?" Wei Mingzhou's face also turned cold, and he said angrily.

Seeing Wei Mingzhou angry, Yun Guike also got annoyed: "You are such a weird person, you doubt this and that. You might as well study the Phoenix Gu by yourself and not let others help you."
