309. The Gentle Assassination (10)

Gao Ran sneered unconsciously:

"Heh, so you're tricking me. The person who gave you the antidote didn't reveal her true identity to you at all, and the 'Disciple of the Medical Valley' was just your own speculation, but I 'confirmed' it?

"Okay, since it's all said and done, then I'll get straight to the point and make it clear to you. lest you take the words out of context, but let the impostor take advantage of the loophole and take advantage of our medical valley in vain.

"Listen, my full intention is: I can't be sure if she is the person I suspect until I see that person with my own eyes, but I can tell you for sure that the person I suspect is the Gu Cultivator herself—she is indeed a disciple of the Medicine Valley, but the person who can prepare this Gu antidote is not a disciple of the Medicine Valley. But this person's attainments must be no less than those of the few disciples with top-notch attainments in the Medical Valley.

"And the Gu poison on your body, although it is very rare, was planted decades ago. In terms of toxicity, it is not even one-ten-thousandth of the most poisonous poison in my hands. But it has a unique feature that cannot be surpassed, that is: the Gu breeder is fed with her own blood, and her blood is very peculiar, her blood actually carries a rare and unfinished poison in the world, so if the Gu poison on your body is to be unraveled, her blood must be used as a medicine in the antidote. Without this flavor medicine, the antidote will never be available.

"Therefore, no matter who gives you the antidote, the person who can prepare this antidote must have seen the Gu Cultivator herself, because the medicine is to take her living blood. Take it and use it, otherwise the antidote will never be dispensed.

"So, whoever is by your side right now, she's sure to know something about the Gu Breeder. If you're curious, then you can find a way to get that information from her, but if you're just interested in solving the Gu, then you have to answer my question first, tell me what is the purpose of that person's approaching you? If you don't say it, then I won't help you solve the Gu, then you can only wait for her to give you the other half of the antidote.

"Hmph, I'm afraid it's hard to say whether she will really give it to you in the end. ”

"Hmph, didn't you just say that the preparation of the antidote requires the living blood of the Gu cultivator himself? Then how can you solve the Gu for me?" However, Zuo Yi was not bypassed by what Gao Ran said just now, but grabbed the point he cared about, and directly retorted. At the same time, he gave her a disdainful look.

He didn't expect that Gao Ran was so shallow and easy to understand, and he didn't even know that he had already exposed his hole cards. And more importantly, if what she just said was true, then he could no longer hope for her. Because according to what she said, in addition to the other half of the antidote in the hands of the impostor in the palace now, if he wants to solve the Gu, he can only find the Gu breeder himself. Otherwise, no matter how capable Gao Ran was, she would not be able to dispense the antidote without the Gu Cultivator's own active blood as a medicinal guide.

Even if he took a step back, even if Gao Ran was willing to use the contact information within the Medical Valley to help him find the Gu Cultivator, he was afraid that by then, his half-month period would have already passed. Therefore, if the Gu cultivator can't show up in time to solve the Gu for him within the half-month period, then his only hope can only be the other half of the antidote in the hands of the impostor in the palace.

In this way, he naturally no longer had any hope for Gao Ran. No matter how capable she is, she can't save the fire from far water.

But Gao Ran directly blocked Zuo Yi's unconsciously entrained anger in his words, and just responded to him without any emotion: "Hmm." I said that in order to unlock this Gu, you must use the living blood of the Gu Breeder, but I haven't finished my sentence yet, what are you anxious about?"

After speaking, Gao Ran admired Zuo Yi's somewhat complicated change in expression with great interest. Even if his expression didn't change too obviously, his eyes, the corners of his eyes, the tips of his eyebrows, the wings of his nose, and the corners of his mouth all changed more or less instantly—and these subtle changes were taken together to almost make Gao Ran laugh. - Who made Zuo Yi's subtle change in expression that was difficult to hide at this moment just hit her laugh?

As a result, while Zuo Yi was trying to restrain himself in order to prevent his heart from being exposed, Gao Ran was trying to restrain himself in order to hold back his smile.

And Zuo Yi also sensed that Gao Ran seemed to be restraining his smile. It's just that he couldn't guess what she was laughing at, but he knew that although her rude reaction at the moment could easily lead people to mistake her for laughing at him, and what she had just said sounded like she was fooling him, he knew that she was not making fun of him, she seemed to just want to laugh.

- Even if he can't guess the other party's thoughts, but he is very sensitive to the judgment of whether the other party has malicious intentions towards him, and he is also very confident in his own judgment. In fact, the reason why he has survived to this day and obtained everything he has today is largely due to his unusual and extremely accurate intuition.

But what Zuo Yi didn't know was that when Gao Ran noticed Zuo Yi's reaction when he clearly saw her rude behavior that she couldn't help laughing at, Gao Ran almost instinctively judged that he showed that he didn't care about her faux pas, he really didn't care, rather than deliberately suppressing the anger aroused by feeling offended, and he really didn't feel that her actions just now offended him.

In Gao Ran's view, the only reasonable explanation for his judgment of her was that Zuo Yi's judgment of the motive behind her faux pas was accurate—he did accurately judge the true emotions behind her superficial reaction in an instant.

After realizing that Zuo Yi was so capable, Gao Ran couldn't help but feel a little admiration for him: just because he had a quality that she admired very much—not only did he have the intuitive judgment to see the essence behind the easily misunderstood appearance, but also dared to believe it.

Although Gao Ran still didn't know how skillful Zuo Yi was at controlling this ability, after experiencing this silent battle with him at this moment just now, she had already concluded that he was worthy of her admiration. - At least, in this aspect of mastering this ability, he is fully worthy of her respect for him.

Because of this, when she spoke later, there was obviously a little more kindness in her attitude and tone.

And she did not shy away from this sudden and obvious change in herself, and directly confessed to Zuo Yi: "Uncle Zuo, I suddenly found that you still have traits that I particularly like, so I suddenly like you a little." Let's make friends. What do you think?"

Gao Ran deliberately half-seriously and half-jokingly stepped through the line of defense between the two that should not have been crossed. She just wanted to use this to test how much tacit understanding Zuo Yi had with her? She could instantly understand this trait of his, so what about him? How much could he see through her? Besides, she also wanted to use this to test how bold Zuo Yi was?—— because she didn't follow common sense at all, and ordinary people didn't dare to really let go of her tricks - if you rashly deal with tricks that you are completely unfamiliar with and seem to be quite dangerous, the possibility of exposing your weakness and even being caught is often far greater than if you will plan it. Trying to adapt to the opponent's style of play as soon as possible and finally capture the opponent's possibility.

But compared to Gao Ran's suggestion just now, which was enough to surprise him, the kindness she conveyed when she spoke was exactly the same as her words, but Zuo Yi was even more surprised. At the same time, it also made him unconsciously rekindle a little wary of her. - To be so consistent, if it weren't for the fact that she was lying far more than he could discern it, then she was telling the truth.

But no matter what the possibility is, Zuo Yi can neither believe nor understand. He couldn't believe that someone could tell a lie in front of his eyes without being seen through by him, and he couldn't understand how he could explain Gao Ran's motives if she was telling the truth.

However, because of this, the ideas in Zuo Yi's heart that he used to look down on Gao Ran have now been completely overthrown by him. He suddenly realized that it seemed too early to make up his mind about her.

After a moment of silence, Zuo Yicai retracted his thoughts, and said half-mockingly, half-tentatively: "Heh, I have heard that many people in the Medical Valley have strange temperaments, and now it seems that this rumor is not false......

But when Gao Ran heard this, he was very disapproving and joked to him:

"Hmm. I'd rather take your assessment as a compliment to me. Hehe, don't be surprised, I just think that you and I are not one, and since we are not one person, but two people, it is natural for me and you to be different. It's just that I'm far different from yours may be far more than you can imagine, and even for a while, you may not really understand what I'm doing. So, you think I'm 'weird', I can understand that.

"But don't worry, after a long time with me, sooner or later you will become accustomed to my 'weirdness'. At that time, hehe, if I am too much like an 'ordinary person' in your eyes, I am afraid that you will wonder if something has happened to me?"

"Huh. Zuo Yi only sneered, and then said no more.

But Gao Ran lost no time in returning the topic to the topic:

"Actually, you can really consider my proposal. I do want to make friends with you. As for whether we are suitable for a long-term relationship, we will know after we have made friends and learned more about each other.

"But it's not a loss to you. If my hunch is correct, if we can really become close friends, that will be a big bonus for you. Because of the amount of benefit I get from my friend, I will definitely return the same or even double the benefit that my friend wants. And if my hunch is wrong, we are really not suitable to be friends, then the big deal is to return to the original relationship of neither friend nor foe, but also friend and foe, and you have nothing to lose.

"So, make friends with me, you can't lose anything.

"Hmm...... Well, I'll stay here for about ten days, and you'll think about it in those ten days, and then give me an answer within ten days.

"Alright, with that out of the way, let's talk about another thing......

"It's true, I did say before that the antidote must be made with the living blood of the Gu Cultivator as a medicine guide before it can be dissolved, but what I didn't say is that if there are other people in this world who also have this strange poison in their blood, then it doesn't necessarily have to be the living blood of the Gu Cultivator......

"You, what do you mean?"

Originally, when listening to Gao Ran's self-talk that didn't give him a chance to talk back at all, Zuo Yidu had already planned to deal with it in silence, but she didn't think about it, she suddenly changed to another topic halfway through her words, and it still aroused his great interest and had to care about something at once.

At this time, Zuo Yi's eyes had already shown that he had actually guessed the answer, but such an unbelievable coincidence, if it was not admitted by Gao Ran himself, he really couldn't believe that his judgment was really credible. - This is the first time that I am not confident in my intuitive judgment.

"Well, that's what you think. You are lucky to have met me, and I happen to have the same strange poison in my body, so my blood can also be used as a medicine.

"So, if I want, I can also give you the other half of the antidote. That way, even if the person doesn't give you the antidote in the end, you don't have to worry about dying of poison.

"Of course, more importantly, as long as I have the antidote I gave you, then you don't have to be subject to that person anymore. Isn't that great? Choose me, and you will be truly free, saving your own life and freeing yourself from being controlled by others. ”

"No longer subject to others?heh, I wonder if the sophomore lady wants me to obey you from now on? Or do you want to be a 'friend' with you according to what you say?" This time, Zuo Yi's words were full of irony.

But after Gao Ran heard this, he laughed instead. Because she finally heard the true expression of emotions in Zuo Yi's words that he didn't even notice himself, it was a good thing for her.
