When Gu Zhiqi finished speaking, the boy paused again. A few seconds later, he spoke in a deep voice, "If you can really cure us, when we get out, I will give you ten million."
Regarding Gu Zhiqi’s claim that she could heal them, the boy still harbored so doubts, but strangely, the wariness in his eyes diminished significantly.
Hearing the boy’s response and observing his change in expression, Tang Yichen blinked slightly, a big question mark silently appeared in his mind.
Clearly, he seed more approachable and reliable, right?
How...
Did just one word from Gu Xiaoxi make this boy lower his guard?
Tang Yichen expressed his confusion.
What Tang Yichen didn’t know was that for so people, compared to the goodwill shown by a complete stranger, they are more inclined to trust soone involved in a monetary transaction with them.
When Gu Zhiqi ntioned ten million, the boy had already regarded Gu Zhiqi as a transaction partner, thus his vigilance towards her was lowered sowhat.
Since the transaction had been agreed upon, he believed that before receiving the money, Gu Zhiqi should not intentionally harm them.
Gu Zhiqi looked at the boy and said, "Bring her over."
Although the boy hadn’t completely let his guard down, he did support the unconscious girl over to Gu Zhiqi and Tang Yichen.
He also understood that his junior sister’s condition was very critical, and if not treated soon, she might truly die.
After placing the girl on the stone slab, the boy looked at her pallid face, his eyes full of anxiety and worry. He turned his head to Gu Zhiqi and asked apprehensively, "My junior sister is badly injured, can you heal her?"
"Stand aside and don’t make a sound," Gu Zhiqi said, then took out a needle packet and a small porcelain bottle from her pocket.
Watching Gu Zhiqi’s actions, the boy’s eyes were tinged with slight confusion.
How did she manage to bring these items into the Trial Realm?
Not knowing the boy’s inner confusion, Gu Zhiqi put the needles from the packet into the small porcelain bottle.
After soaking for a minute, Gu Zhiqi began to perform acupuncture on the girl.
The boy stood aside, his gaze fixed on Gu Zhiqi, closely monitoring her every move.
He also knew a bit about acupuncture. If he sensed anything amiss, he would intervene imdiately.
However, once Gu Zhiqi started, the boy realized he couldn’t even see how she inserted the needles. By the ti he managed to see clearly, Gu Zhiqi had already inserted several needles.
The boy could only check the positions where each needle was inserted, one by one.
After finishing the acupuncture, Gu Zhiqi asked the boy, "What did you feed her?"
The boy was stunned for a mont upon hearing this. It took him quite a while before he stamred slightly, "What’s the matter? Is there a problem with that thing?"
Gu Zhiqi shook her head, "Oh, no. Just asking casually."
From the first glance, Gu Zhiqi had already noticed the girl was severely injured.
With such grave injuries, ordinarily, she should have already died, but the girl still had a breath left, which is why Gu Zhiqi wanted to see her condition.
After examining her, Gu Zhiqi discovered that the girl had been pierced through the chest by a poisonous plant, the pierced location dangerously close to the heart.
Logically, the toxin should have already spread to the heart and even other areas.
However, the current situation was that the toxin hadn’t spread.
Gu Zhiqi guessed that the boy must have fed her so kind of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
After hearing Gu Zhiqi’s response, the boy slightly exhaled in relief and then said, "I don’t know what that thing is either. I saw it in ancient books before, it said it’s a life-saving spiritual dicine, so I picked it for my junior sister to take."
