[Sushang]: "Lin Mo, Cloudford has the latest intelligence."

[Sushang]: "It was Diviner Fu Xuan of the Divination Commission who personally took action to capture the Stellaron Hunter. That Stellaron Hunter can control the Cloud Knights, which is why she was able to be like a fish in water at Cloudford."

[Sushang]: "Cooperating with the Diviner were also the members of the Astral Express crew. I was thinking of communicating with them, but they left too fast, which caused me to miss them."

[Sushang]: "I only know they seem to have left with Diviner Fu. As for more specific news, I don't know."

Looking at the message sent by Sushang, Lin Mo replied immediately: "I know, I'll ask about other information, sorry to trouble you."

"Ding-dong!"

[Sushang]: "Okay, I will be transferred to Exalting Sanctum next."

"Exalting Sanctum."

Looking at the message sent by Sushang, Lin Mo raised his eyebrows.

Sushang coming to Exalting Sanctum would be quite helpful for him.

Thinking this while, Lin Mo looked at the message sent by Guinaifen.

[Guinaifen]: "Lin Mo, I don't know what to film next. I found that apart from that video of 'Shangziwei', the popularity of the other few videos is not that high. I feel my popularity seems to be decreasing. Although I am satisfied with having so many fans, I don't know how to go about some directions."

[Guinaifen]: "Can you tell me more about the detailed aspects? Like how to do this video, how to do that video, sorry.jpg."

Seeing the message sent by Guinaifen, Lin Mo replied briefly: "That's no problem, when I'm free, I'll communicate with you. I'm not free right now, I'm quite busy."

[Guinaifen]: "Okay, okay, then I'll wait first. It's not urgent these few days, Lin Mo, you go ahead and get busy."

[Guinaifen]: "I know the Stellaron exploded, and the Luofu Cloud Knights are very busy now. Sushang is so busy she doesn't even have time to help me film videos."

Looking at Guinaifen's message, Lin Mo continued to click on Bailu's chat box and walked toward the direction where Bailu was.

"Have you heard? Bailu of the Alchemy Commission ran out again."

"This is the how many-th time? It's normal, right?"

"Speaking of which, Bailu has only run out this one time recently, I don't know why the Balance Commission is making such a big fuss."

"It should be related to the Glazed Lily in the Alchemy Commission. It is said that there are Glazed Lilies growing everywhere in the Alchemy Commission's cave, densely packed like weeds."

"It seems this Glazed Lily is held by Bailu, but it seems it wasn't made by Bailu either. I don't know what the situation is. The alchemists on the Alchemy Commission side haven't given a definite word yet."

When Lin Mo followed the place where Bailu was, one discussion after another rang out continuously.

People passing by discussed Bailu from time to time, making Lin Mo rub his temples.

It seems the commotion of Bailu's escape this time is not small.

Soon, Lin Mo arrived at a remote place.

This place was far from the hustle and bustle, and there was no sound around, only the whispers of nature and the occasional wind whispering in his ears.

The building in front of him was an independent wooden house; it seemed to have experienced many years of wind and frost, but still stood firmly there.

The appearance of the wooden house was simple, built with dark wood, and the walls were slightly mottled, reminding people of stories with long years.

The roof was traditional tilted tiles, and moss grew between the tiles, showing a different kind of vitality.

The design of the wooden house was simple and practical, with round lamps standing on both sides of the door. Although they were not lit at this moment, one could imagine that when night fell, the warm light they emitted would definitely be a beacon in this loneliness.

The windows were tightly closed, and dew condensed on the window frames, reflecting the brilliance of the morning light.

There were no complicated decorations in front of the door, only a path paved with slightly worn stone slabs leading directly to the door, and on both sides were unpruned wild grass, swaying gently with the wind.

Looking at the wooden house in front of him, Lin Mo looked at the location Bailu sent on his phone again and knocked.

The sound of "knock, knock, knock" rang out for a moment.

"There's no one here?!"

As the knocking sound rang out, a slightly muffled voice rang out: "No, no, who are you?"

"It's me."

Hearing Bailu's words, Lin Mo smiled and spoke: "Come out, there's no one else around."

"Lin Mo?!"

Before Lin Mo finished speaking, the door suddenly opened with a "click," and Bailu ran out full of excitement.

Looking at Lin Mo in front of her, Bailu hugged Lin Mo excitedly: "I finally see you, this lady is starving to death, why did you come so late!"

As she spoke, Bailu's tone was a bit complaining.

"So I bought meat skewers on the way."

Lin Mo smiled and handed the meat skewers he bought casually to Bailu, which made Bailu look happy: "You still know how to consider for this lady."

Lin Mo actually brought food.

Without any hesitation, Bailu immediately reached out to take them and started gnawing.

Bailu ate the meat skewers in big mouthfuls, looking like she had no lady-like appearance at all.

This also proved from the side that Bailu was really hungry.

And Lin Mo rubbed Bailu's head and looked at the other alchemist woman in front of him.

She was wearing an exquisite long dress, with the dress mainly in shades of green, decorated with wave-like white patterns, as if it were the white dew faintly visible between the newly grown tender leaves in spring, both fresh and vivid. The hem of the dress was fluid, fitting her figure, showing her well-proportioned physique.

Her long hair was neatly tied behind her ears, revealing her forehead, looking capable and professional.

Her face was peaceful, and her eyes revealed a kind of gentle firmness, as if no matter what difficulties she faced, she could treat them with the greatest patience and care.

Around her neck hung a medical symbol ornament, simple yet exquisite, further setting off her identity as an alchemist.

"Traitor of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, Banxia."

Looking at the woman in front of him, Lin Mo nodded gently: "Hello."

"What are you talking about!?"

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Banxia, who was walking out, heard this, her face changed drastically, and she retreated for the first time.

But the next second, she pretended to be calm and said: "I am Banxia, but I don't know any Disciples of Sanctus Medicus. Did you recognize the wrong person?"

"Yeah, Brother Lin Mo."

Bailu beside her also hurriedly said: "Sister Banxia is a medical worker, how could she be a Disciple of Sanctus Medicus?"

"Someone is looking for you outside."

Lin Mo spoke slowly: "When I came, I saw two alchemists wearing Alchemy Commission clothes looking for someone; they must be looking for you. I don't have any malice toward you, after all, you really took care of Bailu."

"The Disciples of Sanctus Medicus are hateful, but now your body, you won't survive long, and the signs of Mara-Struck on you are becoming more and more obvious. You might not even last today."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Banxia, who was pretending to be calm, turned pale.

She didn't expect Lin Mo to know so many secrets about her.

Lin Mo's words were like a heavy hammer, violently hitting Banxia's heart, and her face instantly turned pale.

The original professional and calm expression disappeared, replaced by disbelief and panic.

Her eyes wandered in front of Lin Mo, as if looking for a path to escape reality.

"How could it be....."

Banxia's voice was so low it was almost inaudible, and her fingers grabbed her skirt tightly involuntarily, with such force that her fingertips turned white.

She knew her body's condition well, and also understood the consequences of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus' prescription, but she never thought that all this would be seen through by someone so easily.

"You... how did you know?" Banxia's voice trembled, her eyes full of fear and confusion.

She had hidden it so well for a long time, and even her colleagues hadn't noticed.

Lin Mo's accuracy made her feel unprecedented panic, as if all her secrets had nowhere to hide, exposed naked in the broad daylight.

In her heart, not only was there suspicion and fear of Lin Mo, but also helplessness about her future destiny.

Relying on the secret prescription for a long time, her body had long been eroded, yet she couldn't stop, which was an unsolvable dead knot.

Lin Mo's appearance not only touched her secret, but was more like a foreshadowing of her destiny, making her feel deep fear and despair about her days today.

She hadn't persisted until what she should have done.

"Sister Banxia, is a Disciple of Sanctus Medicus?!"

Bailu heard Lin Mo's words, and seeing Banxia's reaction, her face also changed, her fists clenched slightly: "So, Sister Banxia has been lying to me, right?"

"I'm sorry, Lady Bailu."

Hearing Bailu's words, Banxia came back to her senses, adjusted her psychology, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I lied to you, but I have no malice toward you. I just wanted you to help me treat my short-lived lover."

"Although I was a Disciple of Sanctus Medicus before, I haven't done anything harmful to heaven and reason. Please, Lady Bailu, help me."

Having said this, Banxia was already kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to Bailu.

"You, get up first."

Bailu was at a loss when facing Banxia's appearance, hurriedly pulling Banxia up.

"Only Lady Bailu can help me now."

Banxia kowtowed while pleading: "I don't want Lady Bailu to treat me, I already know I don't have much time left. I want to ask you to treat my lover, my lover is innocent."

"This, this is something I promised you originally, I can definitely do it."

Bailu hurriedly spoke: "You get up first."

Bailu, who was originally very angry, softened a bit when facing Banxia's appearance.

Because Banxia really hadn't harmed her.

"Thank you, Lady Bailu."
