When Mo Zhu heard Elder Guo’s words, she frowned and felt that this was inappropriate. “There’s only one Soul Returning Herb left. No matter what, it was planted by you. If you use it to cure my friend’s poison, then next timeâ€)”

Before she could finish, the old man took the initiative to interrupt her before she could finish. “Next time? Next time?! It’s the safest way to use the Soul Returning Herb to cure a poison that even the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb can’t cure.”

After a pause, Elder Guo added, “Besides that, you’ve already given that person such a domineering pill. Without the Soul Returning Herb to ease his meridians, even if he recovers from his misfortune this time, he probably won’t be able to recover and live like a normal person in the future.”

Mo Zhu did not speak. She lowered her head slightly and lowered her eyes, looking like she was thinking about something.

In terms of whether she needed the Soul Returning Herb or not, her opinions actually conflicted with Old Guo. From Feng Yu’s performance after taking the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb today, she did not think that a man could endure the medicinal effects of the Soul Returning Herb again in a short period of time.

Furthermore, if she did not make a mistake in taking Feng Yu’s pulse today, the impact the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb had on his body this time was too great. His organ failure was too severe. If she did not hurry and develop a pill that could control the poison, she was afraid the man would not be able to last for long.

It was true that Mo Zhu really wanted to save someone, but she did not want to use a person’s life to test the medicine. Without sufficient preparation and full confidence, she did not want to use the Soul Returning Herb to cure Feng Yu so hastily.

Seeing that Mo Zhu was still thinking, Old Guo couldn’t think of any other good ideas. He raised his hand and patted the girl’s shoulder comfortingly before walking out of the kitchen.

A few minutes later, Huo Xuan opened the kitchen door and walked in. “What’s wrong with the medicine?”

“I don’t knowâ€)” Mo Zhu shook her head.

Seeing this, Huo Xuan frowned and continued asking, “Is there anything else you haven’t thought through?”

Mo Zhu looked up at the man indifferently and also frowned as she said, “Master wants me to use the Soul Returning Herb to refine pills to cure Feng Yu’s poison, but my thoughts are a little different from his. I can’t make up my mind for the time being.”

When Huo Xuan heard this, his eyes darkened as he thought for a moment. “In your opinion, how many more days can Feng Yu last with his body?”

He remembered that not long ago, the medical staff had given him a call, saying that Feng Yu’s condition was already very serious and could not be delayed any longer. If he could not find the antidote or could not smoothly delay the deterioration of the man’s organs, he was afraid that he would not be able to last long before he was unable to be saved anymore.

When Mo Zhu heard this, she lowered her head in frustration. “After being tormented by the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb, he’ll probably only last a week.”

Seeing that the girl was feeling down, Huo Xuan took two steps forward to Mo Zhu’s side and pulled her into his arms to comfort her. “In that case, why don’t you listen to Master? Before you came back, didn’t you say that Master is knowledgeable and would have good ideas? Listen to Master and try using the Soul Returning Herb!”

Mo Zhu replied indifferently with a tired expression. “Yes. I’m a little tired. Let’s talk about this another dayâ€;”

After saying this, Mo Zhu closed her eyes, stood up, and returned to her room.

The next day, on the weekend.

Early in the morning, Class Eight’s form teacher, Li Xiao, started making calls to the students who had signed up for the Mathematics competition.

The Mathematics Olympiad organized by Country H was an international one. Apart from Jing Yang High School, all the other participants in the country were from the famous schools in Beijing. Therefore, be it the higher-ups of the school or the form teachers of the various classes, they paid special attention to it.

In particular, the competition rules had changed this year. The top students are

guaranteed a spot in Beijing University. This was undoubtedly a good chance for the students who topped Mathematics in school.

Therefore, in order for every student in Class Eight to produce the best results in their best condition, he decided to organize a training for all the participating students every afternoon after school, starting from next Monday.

It was finally Mo Zhu’s turn for her parents to be called. It could be said that Li Xiao thought very highly of Mo Zhu. He flipped to the list of parents’ contact numbers according to the order of the name list and solemnly cleared his throat to dial the phone number on the registration table.

As Mo Zhu was a transfer student, the registration form was filled out by Chen Man on the day of the parent-teacher meeting. Naturally, the call went to her phone.

Chen Man was chatting and drinking tea with a few friends at the Huo residence when her ringtone rang. She picked up her phone and glanced at the screen lightly. Just as she saw Li Xiao’s name, Chen Man anxiously picked up the call.

Previously, at the parent-teacher meeting, Chen Man had specially saved Li Xiao’s phone number for Mo Zhu so that she could apply for leave for her in the future. Now that she suddenly saw this phone call today, it would be a lie to say that she was not panicking.

Wasn’t it the weekend today? Why did Mo Zhu’s form teacher suddenly call her? Did something happen to Xiao Zhu in school?
