However, from another perspective, if Gu Xuan was able to tell that she was poisoned based solely on his usual understanding and the few words he learned from her, then wouldn't that be a testament to and affirmation of Gu Xuan's abilities?

However, Dugu Yan still wanted to know the truth: whether Gu Xuan had learned the information from others or figured it out on his own.

Although it's unlikely that Gu Xuan learned this secret from someone else—after all, Dugu Bo would never allow someone who already knows his secret to exist—nothing is absolute, and Dugu Yan needs to confirm it.

Suppressing the indescribable emotions within her, Dugu Yan looked up and met Gu Xuan's gaze, asking each word carefully, "How did you find out about this?"

Gu Xuan naturally couldn't answer that he was a time traveler with the advantage of foresight, and besides, he had already prepared his explanation. He gently stroked Dugu Yan's delicate nose and said softly:

"Of course I could tell. Did you think I only made physical contact with you to take advantage of you? Do you remember that time I read your palm?"

"I bet you were thinking to yourself, 'Was I touching your hand on purpose?'"

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, Dugu Yan's pretty face flushed slightly, as if she was recalling the scene from back then, and then she wondered if Gu Xuan had gotten close to her back then because he wanted to check on her physical condition.

Thinking this, Dugu Yan was deeply moved. She had initially thought that Gu Xuan was just trying to take advantage of her, but she never expected that he had such a profound meaning.

In fact, Gu Xuan was just taking advantage of the situation. These are all just excuses. They not only allow Dugu Yan to feel a wave of self-pity, but also provide a reasonable explanation for his previous behavior and how he knew that she was poisoned.

Gu Xuan continued, "I have been learning alchemy and pharmacology from a master since I was a child. Although I am not as experienced as him now, I have mastered his teachings and can even apply them to other situations."

Gu Xuan was not exaggerating at all. He had thoroughly learned all of Yang Wudi's true teachings, and with the knowledge gained from two lifetimes, he could apply what he learned to other situations and do even better than Yang Wudi.

If one had to point out a shortcoming, it would be, as Gu Xuan himself said, that he might not be as experienced as Yang Wudi.

"After spending more than a month together, I was able to conclude that there was a problem with your body, and it was related to your martial soul. It might even be inherited from your parents, or even Senior Dugu," Gu Xuan said with some heartache, holding her waist.

Seemingly sensing Gu Xuan's emotions and believing his words, she leaned sadly on his shoulder.

"I won't hide it from you anymore, since you already know, my body is indeed poisoned, and the poison is the venom of the Jade Scale Snake." Leaning on Gu Xuan's shoulder, Dugu Yan began to reveal the secret she had been hiding in her heart.

She now has absolute trust in Gu Xuan, not only because of their relationship, but also because of Gu Xuan's words, "I can cure your poison."

Since Gu Xuan was able to determine from their usual interactions that she was poisoned, he certainly wasn't making this statement without evidence.

Dugu Yan continued, "The Azure Scale Serpent was both his strength and his weakness. It was both his fortune and his misfortune that my grandfather was able to break through to the Title Douluo realm. When he reached a higher level, the inherited Azure Scale Serpent venom became even more potent. My parents died because they did not receive timely treatment."

Hearing these words, Gu Xuan gently patted Dugu Yan's back, offering her some silent comfort.

Then Gu Xuan slowly said, "Yanzi, don't worry, I'm here for you now. I have a way to deal with your Jade Scale Serpent venom. Even if it takes a lot of hardship, I will not let this happen again."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan tightly wrapped her arms around Gu Xuan's waist and back, as if trying to merge him into her own body. An indescribable sense of trust welled up within Dugu Yan, and she firmly believed that Gu Xuan would not lie to her.

Looking up at Gu Xuan, Dugu Yan asked, "What bad news are you talking about?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan's expression turned somewhat guilty, and he slowly said, "The bad news is that I haven't been able to find the herbs needed to detoxify you yet."

"You must know firsthand how terrifying the venom of the Azure Scale Serpent is. Although I have a way to help you detoxify, the medicinal herbs are not easy to find. Even within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, there aren't many herbs available."

At this point, Gu Xuan looked at Dugu Yan firmly and said softly, "But don't worry, I will do my best to use the power of the sect to find medicinal herbs for you."

"The reason I'm telling you now that I can cure you is because I'm afraid you'll lose all hope."

Hearing these words, Dugu Yan was deeply moved. Her eyes reddened as she looked at Gu Xuan, "Xiao Xuan... I... I really don't know how to repay you, I..."

Gu Xuan silenced her with a kiss, saying gently, "You're the one I love, why talk about repaying me?"

Hearing this, Dugu Yan felt that she already owed Gu Xuan something, or even more than something, since Gu Xuan had been paying close attention to her from the very beginning and had made silent sacrifices for her.

Looking back now, I realize that even though I've known Yu Tianheng for so long, he was never as considerate and gentle as Gu Xuan. He was never as meticulous as Gu Xuan.

The two had only known each other for a little over a month, and Gu Xuan had already gone to such lengths for her.

Mobilizing sect resources? That sounds cool, and it sounds like nothing but joy, but Dugu Yan knows that the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect doesn't belong to Gu Xuan alone, even though his grandfather is one of the two guardian deities of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

But Gu Xuan was actually willing to use the sect's resources for her? What kind of emotion could lead someone to such a thing?

Now she feels that Gu Xuan said something very true: "I want to buy osmanthus flowers and drink wine together, but it will never be like the carefree days of youth. Ten thousand years is too long. If you want to love, cherish this summer."

Gu Xuan was willing to do so much for her, so what about her? Did she still need to hesitate?

At this moment, Gu Xuan sighed slightly and continued, "What a pity. If we could find any one of the three treasure basins, it would be enough to solve the problem of finding the antidote for you. We might even be able to try some of Senior Dugu's poison."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan was slightly taken aback, then her face lit up with joy as she exclaimed, "Really? Does such a place really exist in this world?"

Gu Xuan nodded firmly and replied, "Of course there are, but such treasure lands are all naturally formed and nurtured by nature, taking thousands of years to take shape and tens of thousands of years to become treasures. At least I have not found any in the history of the last few hundred years, which shows how difficult it is to find such a place."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's joyful expression gradually faded. Since Gu Xuan had said so, the chances of finding it were indeed slim.

But it's alright, at least she has gained a glimmer of hope. Her poison is not without a chance of being cured, and her grandfather's poison is not incurable either.
