Chapter 2096

“Master, let me go in and take a look.”

Baili Xia looked at him indifferently, a hint of pleading appearing on her face.

“Let her go, she’ll only be at ease once she’s gone.”

Behind her, Xiaoyao’s calm voice was heard.

Baili Xia glanced back at him gratefully, her gaze returning to Nangong Xu.

Here, he was the only one who could make the decision.

After a moment of contemplation, Nangong Xu nodded and turned to walk inside.

Baili Xia composed herself, tidied herself up briefly, and then followed him into the medical room.

The room was filled with the strong smell of disinfectant, with specks of blood staining the white sheets.

Mu Xiaojiu lay on the operating table, attached to an IV drip.

His eyes were tightly closed, as if he had already fallen asleep.

Baili Xia’s heart tightened, and she quickly walked to the side of the operating table.

Wanting to touch him, but afraid to do so.

Mr. Xiaojiu, who had always been formidable, was now lying on the sickbed with a pale face, this appearance tugged at everyone’s hearts.

“Uncle…”

His face was pale, the corners of his lips black, with several wounds on his body that had already been bandaged.

On his chest, silver needles were densely inserted.

“I’ve applied acupuncture to slow down his bodily functions.”

Baili Xia nodded, she knew it was necessary to do this to buy time for detoxification.

Ye Hua said Uncle had already regained consciousness, and now his sleep was also due to the acupuncture.

“What kind of poison did Uncle have?”

“I don’t know.”

Baili Xia looked puzzled at Nangong Xu; even he didn’t know what poison it was. Who could this person be?

“After taking the Hundred Poison Pill, I also used silver needles to disperse the poison, yet the toxicity in his body still persisted.”

“Moreover, the poison now has changed from before.”

“I suspect the poison is a mixture of many different toxins, and the specific number is unclear.”

Only then did Baili Xia understand why Nangong Xu found it so difficult to detoxify.

The Hundred Poison Pill is potent, but it can only neutralize certain fixed toxins.

In cases like this, where clearing one poison causes the residual toxins to change, it’s very hard to resolve.

Even a person trying to detoxify would face the same challenge because the poison constantly evolves, leaving no room to start.

Being able to mix multiple poisons, the other party must be a master of toxins.

“How long can Uncle endure?”

Even if it’s a result she didn’t want to face, Baili Xia still asked.

Nangong Xu hesitated for a moment before answering, “About two hours.”

“Only two hours?”

Baili Xia’s delicate brows raised; this gave Master too little time.

With such a complex poison, two hours was not enough time to be confident.

“I’ll give you another hour; after that, I’ll use my blood to save him.”

Nangong Xu’s fingers trembled, and his eyebrows raised slightly.

“You remember?”

His gaze was locked firmly on Baili Xia, shocked.”

She remembered. It turns out this girl had reached this point with Mr. Xiaojiu because of this reason!

But if she recalls past events now, why is she still willing to save Mr. Xiaojiu? Does that mean… she no longer hates Mr. Xiaojiu?

This girl bears many secrets. Who else knows she remembers past events?

If people from the main house find out, the girl will be in danger.

In a flash, countless thoughts swept through Nangong Xu’s mind.

Baili Xia didn’t speak, only her silence as consent.

Her gaze was tightly locked on Mu Xiaojiu’s finely chiseled face, unable to look away for a long time.

Slightly feeling remorseful inside, why did she notify them to return?
