Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Although Gu Zhixin might not have been aware of the contents of the bottle that had fallen out, he knew that both the white fox and the parrot belonged to Gu Xiaonan. Therefore, whatever they snatched must have been harmful to them. This instinctively prompted him to try and snatch it back.
Xiao Mei flew to a nearby spot, dropping the bottle it had held in its mouth into Feng Yuanxi’s hand.
Feng Yuanxi?
Gu Qingluan showed a surprised expression.
How did he end up in the arena?
Feng Tianian noticed his son running into the arena, furrowing his eyebrows lightly but not stopping him. He remained seated on the high tower, looking down at the arena.
“Kid, give back what you took from my son!”
Gu Zhixin reached out to grab it.
A trace of cold light flashed in Feng Tianlan’s eyes, and a purple light appeared at his fingertips.
Before he could act, Qitian Yu, who had recognized Feng Yuanxi’s identity, quickly stopped him. “Stop!”
He stood in front of Gu Zhixin.
“Prince, what are you doing? This kid snatched something from my son!”
“Are you sure it belongs to your son?” Feng Yuanxi asked calmly, with a composed tone despite his young age, exuding the aura of a great general and a king.
Seeing another handsome and dignified young boy on the stage, the crowd became restless.
“Where did he come from? He looks so handsome, not inferior to Miss Gu’s son at all!”
“Not only is he handsome, but his demeanor and composure are also more impressive than some adults!”
“The Crown Prince seems to know him! He’s probably from some noble family.”
Gu Zhixin was unfamiliar with Feng Yuanxi, but he recalled that moments ago, he had been seated with Gu Qingluan and her companions.
He must be with Gu Qingluan!
Being asked like this, he hesitated for a moment.
But then he reconsidered, regardless of the other person’s relationship with Gu Qingluan, attempting to snatch something from his son without warning surely indicated ill intentions.
His son was unconscious, and he had to protect his belongings.
“Of course! That little white fox snatched it off my son’s body!”
Feng Yuanxi smirked. “Very well then!”
He pulled out the bottle stopper and sniffed it. “This is ‘Breaking Spirit Powder’, capable of making Arcane Masters lose their arcane power and become useless.”
Everyone was shocked.
Wait, wasn’t that bottle dropped from Gu Jinrong?
What does this mean?
Could it be that Gu Jinrong is trying to poison his opponent and frame Gu Xiaonan?
A cold glint flashed in Gu Qingluan’s eyes.
Breaking Spirit Powder?
Gu Jinrong actually wanted to harm her son?
“Mother, don’t worry. This kind of minor poison is nothing compared to the toxicity of the pills I refine for Xiao Bai. It can’t harm me.” Sensing the cold aura emanating from her, Gu Xiaonan comfortingly patted her hand.
Gu Qingluan naturally knew her son was fine.
If anything had happened to him, she would have already taken care of this group of people.
However, even if they didn’t succeed in harming her son, their malicious intent was evident, and she couldn’t tolerate it!
She decided to wait and allow Yuanxi to prove Xiaonan’s innocence, and then she would handle them appropriately!
“It’s impossible!” Gu Zhixin widened his eyes. “You’re talking nonsense! If it’s truly this Breaking Spirit Powder, would you dare smell it yourself?”
“If you don’t believe it, you can try smelling it yourself.” Feng Yuanxi handed him the bottle.
Gu Zhixin instinctively stepped back.
He claimed not to believe it, but in reality, he was wary and dared not take the risk.
If the bottle indeed held Breaking Spirit Powder, he would regret it deeply.
“Give it to me, and i’ll have the imperial physicians examine it,” Qitian Yu said sternly.
Based on the current situation, the suspicion had shifted from Gu Xiaonan to Gu Jinrong.
He absolutely couldn’t tolerate someone using such malicious means during the competition.
Feng Yuanxi handed him the poison.
Numerous imperial physicians had come today.
Aside from attending to Gu Jinrong and his sister, the other physicians gathered around..
