Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 279 Yun Hong

Hong Yi was so frightened that she jumped up, but because she had been kneeling for too long, her legs went numb, so she sat down on the ground again, grimacing at Yun Yi: "Miss, I was wrong, please don't abandon me."

"Did I say I didn't want you?" Yun Yi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"So you're not angry with me anymore?" Hong was immediately happy, but because her legs were numb, her smile was distorted and looked quite comical.

"I'm not angry anymore, but I don't care what you were like before. If you're going to follow me, you have to be completely loyal to me from now on, otherwise..."

“I know.” Hong Yi nodded vigorously.

"Bring it here."

"what?"

"You bodyguards all have indentures, right? Since you want to follow me, you can't leave your indenture in someone else's hands, can you? Although you wrote one for me before, I think it was fake, right?" Yunyi said, taking out Ah Hong's indenture from before.

“This…” Hongyi hadn’t thought about this question, because she grew up in the Dark Guard Camp and loyalty flowed in her blood. The reason she wrote the contract using Ah Hong’s identity was only to make the young lady willing to accept her.

Just then, a large envelope was handed to them from the side.

Yunyi looked over.

“This is the true indenture of Hong Yi.” Zhou Jinghan smiled. “They grew up in the Dark Guard Camp since childhood, and their indentures are all the same. Now that it’s given to you, she is your person. If she dares to betray you, you can do whatever you want with her.”

Yunyi took the envelope and opened it. The contract inside was more complete and detailed, with details such as height, weight, skin color, hair color, and birthmarks recorded in great detail. There were also attachments that recorded some things about Hongyi's growth process, such as what missions he had taken on and what marks he had left on his body.

This kind of thing is comparable to the identity verification of later generations. Some people can fake their appearance and voice, but if you really want to check, as long as they match, you can definitely distinguish the real from the fake.

For example, the record above states that Hong Yi has a red, round birthmark on his left buttock, with its size marked; there is a three-inch-long scar on the left side of his lower back, about two inches from his spine, which was left from an injury sustained during a mission; and so on... In short, it is extremely detailed.

“Hong Yi, from now on, you are no longer a member of the Dark Guard Camp. From now on, your only master will be Yun Yi. Do you understand?” Zhou Jinghan looked at Hong Yi.

Hong Yi's leg numbness had subsided, and she hurriedly knelt on one knee, saying, "Hong Yi understands." Then she moved slightly towards Yun Yi, "Please bestow a name upon me, Master."

"Are the names of the people in your Dark Guard Battalion fixed?" Yun Yi asked Zhou Jinghan.

“Yes, generally those who pass the assessment will have a fixed name. If they die in the future, a new person will take their place.” Zhou Jinghan nodded.

"Do you know your own surname?" Yunyi asked Hongyi again.

Hong shook her head: "I don't know."

"Then you'll take my surname Yun from now on, and be called Ah Hong, Yun Hong, how about that?"

“I…” Hongyi’s eyes widened, then slowly reddened, “I do.”

"You... no longer have the surname Fang?" Zhou Jinghan's eyes flashed.

"The Fang family has already sold me out, and I'm still going to keep the Fang surname?" Yun Yi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Heh, am I some kind of lowly person? Or is there some great benefit to having the Fang surname?"

"So you mean you want to live in a separate household from now on?"

"If I could, I would naturally be willing, but right now, I don't want to be associated with anyone surnamed Fang."

And so, Hong Yi became Yun Hong, completely breaking free from the Dark Guard Camp and becoming someone by Yun Yi's side.

"Those so-called escort agency people that Ah Hong went to, are they all your people?" Yun Yi suddenly thought of something and looked at Zhou Jinghan again.

"Yes, they are all surviving former subordinates."

Yunyi nodded, said nothing more, and turned to walk into the house: "I'm hungry."

Soon, the rebellion was brought up.

Just as Yunyi finished eating, Xue Buwei, who had been taking care of the Crown Prince, rushed in: "Miss, the Second Master has woken up."

Yunyi nodded: "It's a quarter of an hour earlier than I expected, so his physical condition is obviously better." After saying that, she wiped her mouth, got up and left the restaurant.

"Yiyi, what exactly is wrong with my second brother?"

"Poisoning plus Gu poison."

"insanity?"

"Hmm." Yunyi nodded. "Didn't you see so many little bugs? They're all Gu worms."

"But……"

"Are you saying that all Gu worms are single? Most Gu worms can control a person with just one, but Gu techniques are ever-changing. This kind of Gu worm is called ant Gu. Once one enters the body, it will quickly multiply into a whole swarm." Yun Yi's expression was not good. "The Crown Prince's body was poisoned before. Making the antidote required a hundred-year-old Crimson Spirit Mushroom. I remember selling one to Doctor Xue, so the poison was cured. Unfortunately, although the antidote removed the heat poison in the Crown Prince's body, it was also nutrients for the Gu worms, so..."

Xue Buwei and Zhou Jinghan's faces turned ashen. They dared not imagine what would have happened if it weren't for Yun Yi...

Yunyi's heart was heavy, because not only the Crown Prince had been infected with this ant-borne Gu, but the people who had caused trouble in front of the teahouse had also been infected with it. However, those Gu worms spread plague, while the Crown Prince's Gu was deadly.

Looking at this Gu worm reminded her of the inn where she had rescued Ling Xiao, and of the Reincarnation Sect that Mo Li had mentioned, which likely had members of the Gu Clan.

"Is the Gu worm in the Crown Prince's body clean now?" Xue Buwei asked hurriedly.

Yunyi shook her head: "Live Gu worms like the taste of rooster blood, but it's been so long, there should still be eggs inside them, so..."

Everyone's hearts sank.

Zhou Jingyu had indeed woken up, but he was still very weak. So, he remained lying there, watching everyone come in. He even managed a slight twitch of his lips and said "thank you" to Yun Yi.

Yunyi noticed that the black aura on this person had faded considerably, but he had not yet escaped death: "It's too early to say thank you now. Whether you live or die depends on your fate."

“Back then, when I was one year old, Master Zhiyan went down the mountain to find my maternal grandfather and said that I was destined to face a great calamity. He said that if I could get help from a woman of destiny, I could overcome this calamity. Hehe.” Zhou Jingyu took a breath. “Now it seems that you are my woman of destiny.”

"Second Master, this is a difficult thing to say, it could easily lead to misunderstandings." Yun Yi scoffed, "After all, I'm already married, and you also have a wife and children..."

“You’ve misunderstood.” Zhou Jingyu shook his head. “You can ask my maternal grandfather what Master Zhiyan said back then.”

“My master told me, and I know what he said back then,” Zhou Jinghan suddenly said.
