Bab 154: Trying To Trick You

His Majesty nodded and said, "I don’t think she’s the murderer either."

He turned around and asked the Chief General of the royal army, "Are your people reliable? Make sure that Miss Gu is unhurt."

The Chief General bent down and said, "Your Majesty, they are all reliable people. They won’t hurt her even though they look deadly. Custodian Li had only gently sliced her skin earlier. The drug is not poisonous and is an exorcism drug."

The Emperor turned around and asked a man in a blue robe, "Custodian Huo, is the drug only harmful toward people who had been invaded by spirits?"

Custodian Huo bent his body slightly and said, "Don’t worry, Your Majesty. The drug won’t hurt her if she is just an ordinary lady."

Mr. Huo was the custodian of the Jiuxing clan as well as the celestial uncle of Gu Tianchao. He had excellent spirit power, and he was expert in exorcism. Due to this, he was well known in the Starry Crescent Land.
