There was no need for the masked figure to answer; Gu Qingluan already had the answer in her heart.

The masked figure, named Su Meng, was a descendant of the Spirit Clan and humans.

The Spirit Clan possessed many secret arts, and one of them was various types of contract magic used to form agreements with humans. The contract Su Meng had just signed with her was the most unequal and devout one, known as the Soul Covenant.

Once a Soul Covenant was formed, it bound not only for this lifetime but for all future lifetimes. His soul would be eternally bound to hers.

For the Spirit Clan, death wasn’t a true end as long as their souls remained intact.

Each death was just another cycle, with the soul returning to the restricted land of the Spirit Clan and eventually being reborn when the time was right.

This process bore some resemblance to the phoenix’s rebirth.

If Su Meng were more clever, he could have easily signed a casual contract with her since she had no knowledge of the Spirit Clan.

However, he had foolishly entered into the most unequal form of contract, binding himself completely.

In such an unfair contract, he would forever serve her, and resistance was futile. She could even know his thoughts at will, leaving him with no secrets in her eyes.

Gu Qingluan gazed into his eyes and said, “Now I’m sure you’re from the Spirit Clan.”

Only the Spirit Clan would be so naive as to readily sell themselves.

She placed her palm on his back and infused her arcane power into his body.

Su Meng’s eyes gradually brightened.

After a moment, Gu Qingluan withdrew her hand. “How do you feel?”

“Much better, thank you for your help, Master.” Su Meng sat up straight, bowing respectfully to her.

“Since you’ve called me Master, I won’t just stand by. I’ve temporarily sealed the poison inside you with golden needles, so it won’t erupt for now. We can’t deal with it here, so I’ll detoxify you after we leave the black market.”

Su Meng nodded.

He appeared extremely obedient, a stark contrast to the fearsome mask he wore on his face.

Gu Qingluan had noticed Su Meng’s thoughts earlier; the mask was a requirement for Spirit Clan members when they left their homeland.

The Spirit Clan members were all exceptionally beautiful, and that kind of beauty could easily attract trouble.

Wearing the mask was a safety measure, and they could only remove it once they returned to the secret land of the Spirit Clan.

There were some more intimate secrets about the Spirit Clan that Gu Qingluan hadn’t seen earlier. Perhaps it was a restriction placed by the Spirit Clan, even for those who formed Soul Covenants, not to reveal certain aspects.

Putting aside the matters related to the Spirit Clan, Gu Qingluan asked, “Do you have an antidote for the poison you administered to them?”

Su Meng nodded. “No, 1 didn’t have time to prepare one, so there’s only the poison.”

He extended his hand, and a faint light appeared in his palm, revealing a vial.

“Master, do you intend to save them?”

Gu Qingluan replied, “We’ll assess the situation.”

She didn’t want to reveal too much, but if necessary, she wouldn’t stand idly by.

Gu Qingluan examined the poison and found it rather unique.

“What kind of poison is this?”

“This is a poison I concocted based on ancient texts. It’s called ‘Dreamlike’. Originally, it contained an ingredient called the Yin-Yang Flower from the Spirit Clan’s secret land. I was worried someone might recognize it and cause trouble for the Spirit Clan, so I made some adjustments to the poison’s formula, and the antidote was modified accordingly.”

“Dreamlike” lived up to its name. Those afflicted by it would fall into a deep slumber, as if in a dream, and couldn’t wake up without the antidote. However, it didn’t pose a life-threatening danger.

It was clear that Su Meng didn’t intend to harm anyone’s life.

His goal had been the Boundary Wall Key from the beginning.

Gu Qingluan couldn’t say whether his actions were right or wrong, but sometimes, for a certain purpose, people were willing to sacrifice things they considered less important.

“You can recuperate here; there are many troubles to be dealt with outside. I’ll be leaving now.”

With these words, Gu Qingluan’s figure disappeared from the Stellar Space.

“Brother Jun, it seems those two individuals have been watching us all along.”

Just now, Gu Qingluan’s consciousness outside the space heard He Lianjun say this.

She followed his indication and recognized the two individuals as the ones who had been pursuing Su Meng earlier.

It appeared that they were indeed under suspicion by the Shadow Tower!
