Chapter 87 The Secret Behind

There were two people left in the hall on the second floor of the small building, and no one spoke for a while.

Selina didn't like being stared at like that, especially when that person was her daughter's fiancé.

"What do you want to ask?"

Ivan asked an unrelated question: "Aren't you worried that Jiushiti will be bullied in Sanggu after I leave?"

Selina chuckled and said, "She wrote about the situation in Sanggu Territory in her letter. I believe no one will bully her."

Ivan stared at her and said, "Is it because it's dangerous to stay in Graden Manor?"

"what?"

"You can hide your injuries from Jiushiti, but not from me. The wounds must have been poisoned more than once. Did the poison weasel reappear after someone treated you? And then the injuries that had just improved worsened. You were afraid that Jiushiti would be in danger, so you chose to hide it from everyone—"

Ignoring Selina's shocked and angry look, Ivan expressed his guess.

The moment he saw the wound, he could tell that Old Orr could heal Selina's injury. This was what made him frown and wonder, why didn't Old Orr heal her if he could? Based on his understanding of Old Orr, he probably feared trouble and didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

After observing the wound more carefully, he found some clues. It turned out that the wound was poisoned more than once, but Lady Selina did not tell Justie about this, and probably did not tell Baron Gratton either. He could not help but make some guesses, probably about the fight between the mistresses of the manor.

Lady Selina interrupted him: "Please stop talking. I don't want to listen to your nonsense. Please go out. I won't treat you anymore."

Ivan stopped talking as he was told, but made no move to get up and leave.

Lady Selina stared at him, sighed dejectedly, and begged, "Mr. Ivan, I hope you can pretend that nothing happened. Please don't tell anyone."

Ivan shook his head: "I don't agree with your approach. I prefer to nip the danger in the bud rather than keep it alive and let Jiushi encounter the same danger again at any time. You should know that not everyone will appear in time every time.

To put it bluntly, I have the ability to deal with this disaster, and I must deal with this hidden danger."

His final decisive words, combined with what Jiushiti had said before, made people believe it.

After a silence of more than ten seconds, Lady Selina requested again: "No matter what, I hope this incident will not affect the reputation of Graden Manor. This is my plea as Jiushiti's mother."

Ivan looked at her in surprise. He really didn't expect her to make such a request. You know, the Baron replaced her with a Lady Glidden not long after she was disfigured. Shouldn't she be full of resentment and thinking about revenge?
This lady's idea overturned his previous concept.

Lady Selina looked at him without giving in, thus showing her attitude and persistence.

"I will think about it."

"Mr. Ivan, please don't tell Jiushiti."

Ivan nodded. Since Jusiti was timid, it was better not to tell him. However, he asked Lady Selina a few questions about Graden Manor, and Lady Selina told him the truth.

"Then let's call Jiushi up and start the treatment."

"Can it really be cured?"

"You can try it. Maybe it's not a very difficult question."

Jiushi waited anxiously for a long time. When she returned to the second-floor hall and heard that Ivan was sure of the treatment, she couldn't stop crying.

In fact, spiritual power can not only draw out impurities in medicinal materials, but also remove certain toxins from the human body. Plant energy particles contain vitality, and water energy particles can nourish the skin, which is something Old Orl does not have.

After Ivan's initial treatment, Mrs. Selina's face showed significant improvement, which made both mother and daughter very excited, but more treatments are needed.

Jiushi originally wanted to stay, but Lady Selina did not allow it.

After coming out of the small building, the two left Gledon Manor and returned to the original house of the Marichaton family.

late at night.

A purple butterfly flew out from the backyard of the Marichaton family, followed by a black figure. The purple butterfly flew in front, and the black figure followed behind, heading towards the north of the city together.

The north of Feiyu Port is where the poor live and it is also the most chaotic place in the city. "It is indeed a good choice to keep poisonous beasts in such a place."

Ivan followed the purple butterfly, which used a toxin as a medium for tracking. The toxin was extracted from Lady Selina's wound. Unexpectedly, he came to the north of the city where he had never been before.

The purple butterfly flapped its wings and flashed away for a distance. He followed it but no sound was made.

After passing through many streets and alleys, they arrived in front of a small house in the alley. A man and a butterfly easily flew over the wall and landed in the courtyard. The purple butterfly turned into a stream of light and escaped into the house.

He sensed where his target was.

"Go."

Ivan muttered something, and then he made no other movement. Several moths transformed from Xunmu silkworms flew out from his body.

After receiving the order, Xun Mucan crawled into the house through the gap under the eaves. After a few seconds, two wailing sounds were heard from the house, and then the sounds stopped abruptly.

"Who, what is that? - Ah!" The noise attracted the attention of the people in the house. There was obvious fear in their inquiring voices. The fire in the house just lit up and then went out, and there was also the man's cry of pain.

Ivan walked forward, paused in front of the door, and probed with his mental power. The bolt inside seemed to open automatically, and he pushed the door open and entered the house.

There was only a thin middle-aged man with a goatee in the room.

The middle-aged man had fallen to the ground injured. He looked up in horror at the person who pushed the door open. Everything that had just happened was beyond his expectations.

There was a cage in the corner of the room, with a skunk-like creature lying lifeless inside. Ivan noticed a tuft of purple hair between the creature's eyebrows, which should be the culprit that scratched Lady Selina.

"Your Excellency, please don't kill me. I am willing to die for you."

"I have a few questions."

"Please go ahead. I know I will tell you everything."

"Are you alone at home?"

"There's no one else in my family."

Ivan originally wanted to use some tricks, but the man was frightened by the attack of the swift woodworm and answered whatever he asked, saving him a lot of effort.

The information he got from the middle-aged man was exactly what he had guessed.

After a while, he left this quiet little house, left the north of the city and went to the west of the city.

At the Marichatton house, Jusiti waited for a long time before Ivan came back.

"Has it been dealt with?"

"It's taken care of."

Ivan nodded.

Jiushiti thought he was going to deal with his own old grudge, but little did he know it was Jiushiti's own.

The next day, Mrs. Selina came to the Marichatton house. She needed to start the second treatment. When she saw Ivan again, her expression was a little complicated because Mrs. Nancy died last night.

"The thing that hurt you is dead."

"Thank you."

Lady Selina came and went in a hurry. Before leaving, she made a request to the two of them, asking Ivan and Justie to keep it a secret for her and not tell anyone the news of her recovery, including her husband, Baron Graydon.

Jiushi thought she was going to give the others a surprise, so she made a firm promise.

Ivan didn't want to get involved in the Graydon family's affairs anymore, so he didn't refuse her request.
