Li Yan asked Chu Luo, “Can you take all these people away?”

Chu Luo nodded. Then, she raised her hand and everyone disappeared from this ancient artifact room.

In the next second, they appeared in the forest on a remote school path outside the wall of the College of Humanities.

Looking at them, Li Yan asked, “Can the poison in them be neutralized?”

“They aren’t just poisoned,” Chu Luo told him. “Sister Wu and the others have been poisoned by a very small Gu. This Gu must be activated by the person who planted it before it will react. As long as the person who planted the Gu doesn’t touch them, no one can root them out.”

“Is this Gu easy to cure?”

“It’s easy to cure, but I don’t have the formula to cure this Gu.”

“What do you need? I’ll get someone to send them to the dormitory building over at the graduate student residential area.”

Chu Luo told him what she needed.

After that, she searched in the Heaven-and-Earth pouch and found a bottle of pills. She took them out and poured a few onto her palm.

“I’ll do it.”

Li Yan took the medicine from her hand. “What do you need to do?”

“Just feed them and wake them up.”

Li Yan walked up to them and rubbed their chins. He quickly fed each of them one pill and Chu Luo also fed Wu Yiyao one.

Before long, their eyes gradually regained clarity.

The moment Wang Mingtao woke up, he shouted, “Everyone, run!”

He had just finished shouting this when he realized that Chu Luo and Li Yan were standing in front of them. He was especially surprised and realized that they weren’t at the parking spot at the auditorium.

The others realized the same when they woke up.

Wu Yiyao asked, “Little Chu, what’s going on?”

“Someone drugged you to control your mind.”

“D*mn! Will we get controlled to cause chaos?” Xie Minghai asked worriedly. He quickly shouted, “Brother Chu, Junior, stand aside. What if we’re controlled to hurt you?”

After Xie Minghai finished speaking, they took two steps back.

“Don’t worry, I’ve neutralized your poison.”

After Chu Luo finished speaking, she said to them, “Let’s leave this place first. Otherwise, the school’s security guards will find us.”

Only then did they realize that there was a huge commotion in the courtyard.

Tang Zhiyun asked, “Where are we now?”

“At the College of Humanities.”

After saying that, Chu Luo turned around and walked forward.

Li Yan followed.

The others also quickly followed.

A long time after everyone had walked out of the College of Humanities, Chu Luo said, “Let’s go back to my place first. The poison in your bodies hasn’t been cleaned up yet. You still need to take some medicine.”

The rest of them didn’t suspect anything and followed her and Li Yan to her dormitory building.

Li Yan placed all the things he had prepared on the coffee table.

“Take a seat first. I’ll go cook these things.”

After saying that, Chu Luo went over to carry those things towards the kitchen that she had never used before.

The rest of them asked, “Do you need our help?”

“No need. Just wait.”

Chu Luo had just taken a step when Li Yan took the things from her hand.

Chu Luo looked at Li Yan.

Li Yan said, “I’ll help you.”

Chu Luo smiled and nodded at him.

The two of them entered the kitchen. Chu Luo looked around and said with a vexed expression, “I forgot to tell you to prepare a clay pot for boiling medicine.”

“Will boiling using something else ruin the medicinal effects?”

“No.”

“Then use ordinary pots.”

Li Yan then placed the herbs on the counter.

Chu Luo stood there for a long time without moving.

Li Yan turned to look at her.

Chu Luo frowned. “I don’t know how to use this kind of stove.”

The corners of Li Yan’s lips curled up. He took out a pot from a cabinet, placed it on the stove, and turned on the stove.

“What do you need to do? Tell me, I’ll cook.”

Chu Luo stood beside him and told him what to do.

After Li Yan boiled the medicine, Chu Luo looked like she had learned something. “So this kind of stove is so simple to use.”

Li Yan looked at her warmly.

Chu Luo said, “But it’s a little strange to use this kind of stove and pot to cook medicine. It’s better to use them to cook.”

“You know how to cook?”

“No.”

After saying that, Chu Luo said matter-of-factly, “Why should I cook for myself?”

Li Yan was amused by her expression. He touched her face and nodded. “Yes, you don’t have to cook yourself.”

The two of them waited in the kitchen for a while until the medicine was prepared. Chu Luo took out a talisman from her Heaven-and-Earth pouch and lit it up before letting the ashes fall inside.

“What is that?”

“A charm to remove the Gu. It’s considered an unorthodox method to remove the Gu… I created this method to remove it.”

After Chu Luo finished speaking, she even raised her chin at him with a smug expression.

Li Yan almost couldn’t control himself and pulled her closer to seal her mouth.

After the medicine was done, Li Yan went out to get the boys to bring it in.

The rest of them stood by the sofa and drank the medicine as if they were on the guillotine.

Wu Yiyao drank the bowl of medicine in one go.

“Little Professor Wu, aren’t you afraid of the bitterness?” Seeing her drinking so quickly, Tang Zhiyun was worried that she would find the medicine too bitter. He happened to see the pastries on the coffee table and asked Chu Luo, “Junior, can these pastries be eaten?”

“Eat whatever you want.”

Tang Zhiyun took a piece of pastry and handed it to Wu Yiyao. “Eat a piece of pastry first to suppress the bitterness.”

Wu Yiyao took the pastry from him and said with a smile, “Thank you. I’ve been in poor health since I was young and am used to Chinese medicine. I’m almost immune to this bitter taste.”

Tang Zhiyun looked concerned. “Are you still taking such medicine?”

“No. Little Chu helped me recuperate.”

Tang Zhiyun let out a sigh of relief, picked up his bowl of medicine, and drank it down.

The other four didn’t have such courage.

Wang Mingtao’s expression twisted after taking a sip.

Xie Minghai and Yu Lei pinched their noses.

Although Xu Qingfeng was a little better, it took him a while to drink.

Seeing the four of them drinking the medicine, Chu Luo was amused. “Can’t you guys hurry up? Drinking it in one go is much better than drinking it slowly.”

“Junior, you don’t understand. I’ll definitely vomit if I drink this medicine in one go.”

The other three nodded.

Chu Luo didn’t believe their words. Her eyes darted around and she said seriously, “This kind of medicine needs to be drunk in one go to have an effect. Do you want to drink this medicine a few more times?”

When the four boys heard this, their expressions changed drastically. They picked up the bowl of medicine and gulped it down.

After they finished drinking, Chu Luo glanced at them. “You didn’t vomit, did you?”

“…”

“Hehe!”

“Haha!”

The boys scratched their heads in embarrassment.

Wu Yiyao and Tang Zhiyun were both amused by their expressions.

Only then did the four of them realize that they had been tricked by Chu Luo.

The rest of them giggled for a while. At the same time, they looked at the pastries on the coffee table and pounced on them.

Watching them snatch the pastries to eat them, Chu Luo thought in satisfaction: ‘Someone finally ate these awful pastries.’

At this moment, Li Yan asked her, “Do you still want to eat supper?”

Chu Luo nodded without thinking. “Yes.”

Wu Yiyao said, “Better not. It’s already so late. Besides, it’ll take some time to go out.”

Chu Luo blinked and looked at Li Yan expectantly.

Li Yan thought for a moment and sent a message.

He put away his phone and looked up at everyone. “I ordered takeout.”

Chu Luo was delighted and said to everyone, “Guys, go back after eating the takeout.”

After saying that, she added, “Why don’t you not go back, Sister Wu? You’re coming again tomorrow anyway.”

Li Yan looked at his warm little thing and said before she could say anything about letting Wu Yiyao stay here, “You can stay at the school dormitory.”

Li Yan had interrupted Chu Luo before she could say anything. She blinked at him.

Wu Yiyao smiled and said, “My father has a professor’s apartment at Imperial University. He lives here most of the time. I’ll stay at my father’s apartment later.”

Chu Luo didn’t say anything else.

The takeout Li Yan mentioned was quickly delivered. Seeing the luxurious meal in front of them, the boys were stunned.

Facing the large scallops and braised prawns, Wang Mingtao swallowed his saliva. “I thought Brother Chu would call for supper at the supper shop near the school. Could this supper be from a big hotel?”

Everyone sat on the sofa, took a pair of chopsticks and disposable gloves, and started eating.

Li Yan had ordered more than ten dishes that filled the coffee table. Everyone ate as they talked about tonight.

“I wonder who sent them. How dare they do this to us blatantly at Imperial University.”

“Why don’t we report this to the school heads tomorrow?”

“There are so many outsiders invited tonight. Even if we report it, they won’t be able to find anything.”

“I wonder who it is. Are we in danger from now on?”

“Junior, do you know who sent them to catch us?”

Chu Luo wasn’t sure if it was the Qin family or the Duanmu family, so she looked at Li Yan.

Li Yan said, “It’s my business rival. This won’t happen a second time.”

Li Yan had a domineering and steady aura to begin with. Hearing his words, everyone felt relieved.

After supper, they talked about when they would gather tomorrow. The boys tactfully packed up the food boxes and rubbish on the coffee table before they left.
