Saint Ruan placed one hand on his waist and casually flicked a strand of his white hair. âIâm just worried that you, a young girl, will suffer a humiliating defeat. I finally found something entertaining, and 1 wanted to keep you around for a few more years, but it seems like youâre seeking death.â
âItâs not certain whoâs courting death, but if youâre not up for it, I wonât force you.â Su Yingxue held her red jade soft whip, her eyes filled with disdain for Saint Ruan.
There were two expressions that Saint Ruan despised the most in his life. One was indifference.
For instance, the indifference displayed by Chu Yihan, who, despite provoking a strong desire to confront him, refrained from doing so.
The other was disdain!
Just like the look on Su Yingxueâs face right now.
It reminded him of the way a woman had looked at him many years ago.
âSu Yingxue, 1 will compete with you. Donât worry, 1 will certainly develop a poison that will make you wish for death!â After saying this, Saint Ruan left without leaving a trace.
Su Yingxue narrowed her eyes. âThen letâs see who ends up victorious!â
âHey, this person has a strong presence of poison, and heâs even older than your grandfather. Do you want to compete with him in poison? Are you ready to give up your life, as well as mine?â In Su Yingxueâs mind, Little Ginseng pouted with a cute angry expression.
âDonât worry, Iâm not looking to die young.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Su Yingxue closed the door and entered the Medicine King Valley.
She had set up a study room for herself and, after organizing her motherâs belongings, she took out a book from the bookshelf. In it, her mother had written hasty notes about Saint Ruan.
Her mother was someone who couldnât sit still. Whenever she had spare time, she would delve into various medicinal topics and people associated with medicine.
This included Saint Ruan, and her records contained information about Saint Ruanâs fiancee.
There was also one type of poison that he had failed to develop throughout his life, Intoxicating Fragrance.
In the Fengzao Palace, after receiving the news, Liu Fu hurried into the palace and knelt in front of the Empress. âYour Majesty, our people have returned with information!â
The empress, who had worn a troubled expression for a long time, immediately perked up. âSpeak!â
âSu Yingxue and Saint Ruan met in secret. Itâs said that the two of them intend to engage in a poison duel!â Liu Fu reported.
âA poison duel?â The Empressâs gaze suddenly turned sharp, and her teeth ground together. âSu Yingxue, youâre underestimating yourself. Youâre seeking your death!â
âYour Majesty, Saint Ruan is a renowned poison doctor, and no one dares to provoke him. If Su Yingxue competes with him in poison, sheâll undoubtedly meet her end at his hands. Your Majesty can finally vent your anger!â Liu Fu fawned, grinning.
Ever since Chu Xiuwen was dispatched to guard the Imperial Mausoleum, the empress had been wearing a troubled expression and had kept a close watch on Su Yingxue every day.
Now that she had received this news, she was naturally elated.
However, the empress narrowed her eyes. âNo! Su Yingxue is crafty. 1 want to watch her die! Watch her struggle desperately in front of everyone in Saint Ruanâs presence, unable to escape death. Only this kind of torment would befit my son!â
Her beloved Chu Xiuwen, the core of her heart!
His life was destroyed by Su Yingxue!
How could she swallow this humiliation?
âYour Majesty is brilliant!â Liu Fu smiled obsequiously.
Chu Chengye was paying his respects in the palace when he heard his motherâs words. His heart sank..
