Chapter 199 The New Master Appears
Yan Yu suppressed her mockery and became serious: "What kind of trouble are you referring to, sister?"

"I originally wanted to put my mother into the fur space. As you all know, my spiritual energy space has top-notch healing and health-preserving effects. I never took it seriously when it came to detoxification."

Jiang Shu was upset. "I just put my mother in there, and in less than a second, it felt like I had put in a ferocious beast covered in venom. It completely corroded the spiritual energy in my fur space, and the space collapsed as a result."

Li Yubai's expression was not good: "Don't worry, I will look into the problem."

"No need to investigate, I know." Ning Yunzhan's expression was also not good.

The men all looked at him and said, "Speak."

"It should be targeting the Holy Spirit Academy." Ning Yunzhan said succinctly, "The Holy Spirit Academy, like our patron, is skilled in using wood elemental energy, though its effectiveness is far inferior to our patron's. The most troublesome virus on Madam Jiang, Virus No. 9, was developed by R Country in conjunction with villains from the Chaotic Lands, specifically targeting wood elemental energy. Although Madam Jiang destroyed Virus No. 9, it cannot be ruled out that R Country still has some in stock."

Li Yubai subtly observed Ning Yunzhan: "You seem quite familiar with the Holy Spirit Academy."

Ning Yunzhan was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and met Li Yubai's gaze. His expression was unreadable. "The architecture in the Cloud Realm is world-renowned. I was invited to visit the Holy Spirit Academy a few years ago and stayed there for a year, where I built a nine-dimensional library for them."

He paused, then said meaningfully to Li Yubai, "Although I don't know why you're so suspicious of me, but... that invitation letter is still in my email. Do you want me to take a look?"

"No need." Li Yubai looked away.

Yan Yu thought of Rong Jingchen, who had already ventured deep into Misty Continent: "Rong Jingchen can now truly wreak havoc on all sides."

“He might not be able to handle it.” Feng Li slowly picked up his phone and opened a funeral website. “I’ll order an urn for him first.”

"You've been talking for so long, what is Misty Continent?" Jiang Shu's curiosity was piqued. "I can't find it online, and I can't see it on a map."

"It's just a small, isolated place. Located at the crossroads of several countries, the situation is chaotic, and few people care about it," Li Yubai explained softly. "It's not a good place; you don't need to worry about it."

“Hmm, you’re a girl, you really don’t need to worry about that.” Feng Li placed an order for the most expensive urn, in a very good mood. “Baby, don’t worry, I’ll go back to the US tomorrow with a squadron of fighter jets to blow up that lab in R country and avenge Madam Jiang.”

"There's no need to worry too much about Madam Jiang's illness," Yan Yu comforted her. "With us here, we can find a solution by pooling global resources."

Jiang Shu felt a little more at ease.

Yan Yu stood up: "There's no time to lose. I'll go back to the Yan residence. I remember my grandfather knows a few poison masters. Maybe they can find a way to detoxify Madam Jiang."

Feng Li also stood up: "The fighter jet group is under a bit of strict control. I'll go and smooth things over with it."

Ning Yunzhan paused for a moment: "Then... I'll also go back to Yunduan Group and see if I can find a solution from the design drawings of the Holy Spirit Academy."

Jiang Shu nodded and looked at Li Yubai.

Li Yubai spoke gently, "You're not feeling well today. I'll stay here and keep you company."

"it is good."

Yan Yu and the other two left under the cover of night.

Five o'clock in the morning.

The capital city was shrouded in darkness in late autumn. The sky was filled with a black haze.

An extremely remote mountaintop.

The stars are few and far between, and a crescent moon is half-hidden and half-revealed.

The old man in the black cloak bowed respectfully to another person.

Under the hazy moonlight, another person, tall and perfectly proportioned, was also shrouded in a black cloak. His face, hidden beneath the hood, was obscured by the night, with only a delicate chin visible.

"The Holy Spirit Academy cannot be allowed to fail." The voice was ethereal. The old man spoke hoarsely, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Do not reveal my whereabouts to anyone," the ethereal voice spoke again.

The old man continued, "Besides this old servant, no one knows your whereabouts, new master."

The tall figure didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

The old man seemed to suddenly remember something and said to the tall figure, "Someone in the clan has been in contact with the former master. Should we deal with them?"

"Don't worry about it."

The black cloak billowed in the wind, disappearing into the darkness and never to be seen again.

Three days later.

In the evening, several boxes of freshly made detoxifying elixirs arrived at the Qingcheng Villa from Shanghai via Fengfeng Express.

Jiang Shu sent a message to Feng Li, who was far away in the United States, and went to the medical base with the medicine.

At the entrance of the base, Guan Muyun, looking haggard and emaciated, sat weakly in a wheelchair. Old Master Jiang stood beside him, leaning on his cane, his face filled with disgust and anger.

"You bastard! You've caused trouble all the way to the base! They called and told me to take you back, ptooey! I'd rather you just die from all that trouble, so I don't have to suffer every day."

Guan Muyun, slightly out of breath, said, "Dad, you can sit down and scold me. Standing is tiring, and then Yunyun will blame me for being insensible."

"I'm not tired, you're the one who's tired. I heard you haven't slept for a week? You beast, Yunyun has nothing to do with the base, what are you doing here trying to summon her spirit? I have nothing to do with you, but because you're causing trouble, people are coming to me, insisting that I discipline you. Get back here! I'll beat you to death when we get back!"

"Dad, don't worry. Those charlatans said they could bring the soul back in seven days, and today is the last day." Guan Muyun clutched his chest and coughed twice. "Dad, please don't hit me. I'll set off tomorrow. That bastard surnamed Nie gave me a burial site for Yunyun. I'll go and dig it up."

Old Master Jiang's face turned pale: "My daughter's... burial place?"

“In a remote mountain forest, very far away.” Guan Muyun said sadly, “I will bring her back. When the time comes, you can bury her with me in the Jiang family ancestral graveyard. That way, I will be your son-in-law in life and your ghost son-in-law in death.”

"I don't care, I've had enough of you in this life!" Old Master Jiang raised his cane fiercely, but seeing the weak and pale Guan Muyun, he ultimately didn't strike. "Tomorrow I'll have Liufeng go with you."

Jiang Shu, who had been watching the scene for a while, finally interrupted, "Your Majesty, is your leg still going to be treated?"

Guan Muyun then noticed Jiang Shu standing to the side, and said in a low voice, "I was already planning to die and go find Yunyun, why bother healing my leg?"

Jiang Shu paused for a moment, but ultimately couldn't bear to look at his resolute expression, and her heart softened for a moment: "Nie Zheng only told you that your wife is dead, but did he tell you that your wife has a daughter who is still alive?"

This sentence caused not only Guan Muyun to change his expression drastically, but even Old Master Jiang's face changed and his whole body trembled!
Seeing this, Jiang Shu quickly took two steps back and waved her hand at the two pairs of burning gazes: "Don't ask me, I don't know anything. I just think that if we had a daughter, would the head of the family be able to prolong his life a little longer?"

"A daughter? Yunyun really gave birth to a baby for me, and it's a daughter?" Guan Muyun, who had been depressed for several days, instantly turned into a crybaby again, tears streaming down her face. "I'm going to find that bastard Nie Zheng right now!"

Jiang Shu sighed, "Your daughter has wandered the world, and Nie Zheng doesn't know where she is. You'll never find her in this lifetime. Just pretend she's dead—and also, don't tell anyone I told you about your daughter. If my mother breaks my legs, I'll make a voodoo doll so that you and your wife will never meet again in the afterlife!"

Guan Muyun said in a resentful tone, "Little Divine Doctor, that's why I sometimes get annoyed with you. You really have a sharp tongue."

He wiped away his tears and looked at Grandpa Jiang pitifully, "Dad, please prepare a bowl of porridge for me. I've been starving for days."

Seeing that Guan Muyun had shown a will to survive, Jiang Shu stopped talking, walked past the two, and entered the base.

Behind them, Old Master Jiang roared furiously, "You might as well starve to death!"

"Waaaaah, I need to eat my fill to have the strength to look for my daughter..."
