"If you don't even try, how will you know you don't have the ability? Jiang Xuan, you have to believe in yourself and go for it. I believe you will give me a surprise."

Chang Xuewei felt annoyed when she saw Jiang Xuan's hesitation.

She really wanted to hit Jiang Xuan's brain to see what was inside. Why did he give up without even trying?

"With the elder's words, I know what to do." Hearing that Chang Xuewei's tone was a little strange, Jiang Xuan's sensitive intuition moved, and he immediately lowered his head to Chang Xuewei.

Chang Xuewei smiled with satisfaction: "The place where opium is made is not far from the medicine pond. You go there and wait. I will collect some poisonous flowers and then come to find you."

It was obvious that she was trying to get Jiang Xuan out of the way. Jiang Xuan felt very uncomfortable, but his face showed no sign of resistance. He just said with concern, "I can help you collect poisonous flowers."

Chang Xuewei refused directly and then went in the direction Chen Changli left.

However, after searching for an hour, she still couldn't find Chen Changli, and Wan Shufang seemed to have disappeared, with no trace left in the ruined villa.

Chang Xuewei felt more and more anxious. Although she felt that things were out of her control before, she was still able to remain calm because she had someone to give her orders.

Now that something has happened at the villa, all the people who could have died in exchange for their lives have died. Chang Xuewei also discovered that Chen Changli and his wife had a secret that was unknown to others, and she couldn't help but become anxious.

She tried her best to calm herself down, but she couldn't.

"Although this villa was built very large, after half of it was destroyed, the other half was also somewhat shaky. Under such circumstances, how did Chen Changli hide with Wan Shufang? Where exactly did they hide?"

The more Chang Xuewei thought about it, the more she felt like her head was about to explode. She put her hand to her forehead, her thoughts turning constantly but she couldn't get to a single point.

She could only reach out and knock her forehead, her face full of pain as she said, "Chen Changli, you and Wan Shufang are indeed too cunning, but I will not admit defeat. You are destined to become turtles in my jar and will never escape from my palm."

After saying this with gritted teeth, Chang Xuewei went to the waterfall.

She slit her wrists and let the blood flow.

In a short while, the blood dyed the edge of the medicine pool red.

When Chang Xuewei saw this, she thought it was almost time, so she took out some medicine to bandage the wound.

After wrapping the wound with cloth, she took out the flute and put it to her lips to play.

The melodious flute sound is like waves hitting the earth, carrying a fierce aura.

Chen Changli, who was hiding in the dark, frowned unconsciously when he heard the sound of the flute.

He pretended to leave earlier, but he was actually hiding in the dark to observe Chang Xuewei's actions.

I thought that if Chang Xuewei couldn't find me, her true purpose would be exposed, and maybe even the backup plan I had prepared would be revealed. I never expected that Chang Xuewei would start playing the flute.

Chen Changli now abhors the flute from the bottom of his heart, because once the flute sounds, it means countless poisonous insects will emerge from the dark and harm people.

"It's already this time, and Chang Xuewei still wants to summon the Gu worm. It seems that after the people in this villa died, Chang Xuewei has no other good ideas."

Chen Changli stroked his chin as he thought about this, and felt a little relieved.

He was originally worried that Chang Xuewei had a backup plan, and that the trouble caused by Old Lady Shang would not hurt her.

Now seeing her summoning the poisonous insect, Chen Changli knew that Chang Xuewei really had no one else to use and could only use the poisonous insect to protect her own safety.

Since no one would come to help Chang Xuewei, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then went to find Wan Shufang within the specified time.

As soon as she reached the bottom of the slope, Wan Shufang came out of the hospital space on time.

"Chen Changli?" Before coming out, Wan Shufang felt very uneasy, always worried that Chen Changli would not return on time. After coming out and seeing Chen Changli, Wan Shufang's face showed a look of surprise.

She immediately ran to Chen Changli, looked him up and down, and made sure that he was safe and sound. Her tense heart relaxed a lot.

"How's it out there? Did you find anyone alive?"

After breathing a sigh of relief, Wan Shufang started asking about things in the outside world.

"Chang Xuewei and Jiang Xuan are still alive. As for the others... I searched the entire villa but didn't find anyone alive. I think they either died from the poison incense or were crushed to death by the sudden vibration."

Speaking of the shock at the villa, Chen Changli's heart tightened slightly.

He tried his best to describe the danger of the vibration, and then sighed: "The strength of Old Lady Shang should not be underestimated. It's a pity that she has lost the will to survive, so she dragged everyone in the villa to death."

"The earthquake that turned half of the villa into ruins? Could it be gunpowder?" Wan Shufang was extremely shocked when she heard what Chen Changli said.

She had once thought about whether she should study gunpowder to help the prince conquer the world, but she had no idea how to study gunpowder and how to control it afterwards.

After all, she was obsessed with medicine and had never studied these things.

Now when she heard about the situation in the villa, the first thing she thought of was gunpowder.

Is Mrs. Shang's talent so terrifying? What did Chang Xuewei do to her? Why did she let her do something that would lead to her death along with the people in this villa?

"What is gunpowder? Is it very powerful?" Chen Changli thought that gunpowder was a special kind of poison and that Old Lady Shang used it to achieve her goal.

Wan Shufang immediately explained to him: "It is a weapon with great lethality. I have thought about studying it before, but I didn't know its formula. I didn't expect to hear it from you today."

"But I can't guarantee that it is the weapon I think it is. Chen Changli, take me to the ruins first."

Wan Shufang felt that if Old Lady Shang had really developed an antidote, then if she put in some effort, she might be able to find some clues in this villa and then restore the body.

Gunpowder is actually a weapon? Chen Changli was shocked.

He looked at Wan Shufang steadily, and seeing some urgency in her eyes, he suppressed his doubts and took her to the ruins.

"It's the smell of saltpeter, it's indeed gunpowder. Old Lady Shang is a genius in researching weapons! It's a pity that Chang Xuewei didn't know she had such a talent, and she died so miserably."

Before entering the ruins, Wan Shufang smelled the smell of saltpeter and kerosene.

Her heart suddenly began to beat like a deer. When she got closer and smelled the strong smell of saltpeter, Wan Shufang was silent for a moment and then let out a sigh.

If Old Lady Shang's talent was used in the right place, Chang Xuewei would no longer be hiding like a sewer rat, afraid to see the light of day.

Chen Changli thought for a moment and said, "Chang Xuewei has no ability to judge people, and even less ability to control subordinates. She has been able to achieve her goals over the years only because of her cunning and mastery of witchcraft."

After hearing this, Wan Shufang thought about it and nodded, "Chang Xuewei is just relying on the Gu insect to show off her power. No wonder she hopes that the Phoenix Gu will come to the world. It seems that we can change our attitude towards her a little bit in the future."
