Speaking, Madam Song was about to kneel before Gu Qianying.
Gu Qianying supported her, preventing her from kneeling.
"Madam Song, please don't do this. I know you are very worried about your daughter, and I understand that you wish to be with your daughter and take good care of her."
"I am also a mother, and I want my children to be healthy and happy."
Gu Qianying voiced Madam Song's innermost thoughts.
Madam Song's eyes welled up with tears.
She was deeply grateful for Gu Qianying's words.
However, what she most wanted to know at this moment was whether the divine physician Gu could cure the poison in her daughter's body and allow her daughter to become a normal girl again.
Sensing Madam Song's thoughts,
Gu Qianying did not hide anything from her, saying directly, "Rest assured, I can restore Miss Song to her original state and allow her to become a normal girl. As for your illness, Madam, I also have a way to cure it. However, the most important thing now is to leave this place."
As she spoke, Gu Qianying pointed to the young Yi Hao, who was being held in Baili Su's arms. She said, "This brat hasn't eaten properly these past two days. I need to take him out first and let him have a good meal outside."
Though her words seemed casual, everyone present could clearly sense Gu Qianying's concern for her son.
"Yes, yes, it was my oversight. Divine Physician Gu, I apologize."
Having been confined with young Yi Hao for these two days, Madam Song knew that young Yi had indeed not eaten well.
"It's alright. You were just anxious to save your daughter. I understand."
Meanwhile.
On the other side.
Baili Jingxuan and Song Wuji walked together, and as they ventured deeper, the atmosphere grew more sinister.
In less than a moment, the two arrived at a desolate desert.
Yes, that's right, a desert.
On the vast, boundless desert, there was nothing.
"What is this place?"
Baili Jingxuan looked around the empty, desolate surroundings with a look of shock.
As Baili Jingxuan spoke, Song Wuji also scanned their surroundings.
"There is no entrance, nor an exit. From afar, there is nothing. We cannot linger here any longer; we must return the way we came!"
With that, Song Wuji grabbed Baili Jingxuan's arm and started to lead him back.
However... they discovered that the path they had taken was gone.
"There... there's no way back!"
Baili Jingxuan also noticed the anomaly and exclaimed.
Song Wuji frowned, and as he released Baili Jingxuan's wrist, he looked back in the direction they had come from.
But... there was indeed nothing to be seen.
The path they had taken had almost no trace.
This meant there were no buildings or anything behind them!
"What is going on? Didn't we just come out of a secret room?"
Baili Jingxuan was shocked by this, unable to comprehend why things had turned out this way.
"How are we supposed to get back in this situation?"
Baili Jingxuan was very worried about his and Song Wuji's safety.
"Be quiet and let me think."
Song Wuji was much calmer than Baili Jingxuan.
His words made Baili Jingxuan fall silent.
Song Wuji first searched the edge of the desert for drinkable fruits or anything to fill their stomachs.
But... there was nothing.
"We cannot just sit here and wait for death. We must find the next entrance as soon as possible."
This was a decision Song Wuji had made after much thought.
Since they couldn't go back, they could only move forward. This was far better than staying put and waiting for death.
However, no matter how they searched, they could not find a path.
There was almost no path, and nothing could be seen around them.
After more than half a day,
Baili Jingxuan and Song Wuji, exhausted and thirsty, found themselves back at their starting point.
The vast, boundless desert, and no way out.
Just as they were wondering where to go, the ground beneath their feet suddenly stirred.
"Look, what is that? Be careful!"
Song Wuji was the first to notice. He immediately grabbed Baili Jingxuan and retreated.
However... their movements were still a little too slow.
The moment the desert sand was kicked up,
Several white figures suddenly appeared out of thin air...
