Fourth Master Tang’s expression changed slightly.
The individual had been brought by Fourth Master Tang. When Lin, the Hall Master, declined Young Master Jun’s request, it was seen as a sign of disrespect towards Fourth Master Tang. A hint of displeasure welled up within him, and his voice took on a deeper tone as he stated, “Given that it’s Mr. Jun has good intentions, how could I possibly refuse?”
“Can good intentions really save someone?” The young girl disdainfully huffed. “Kid, I advise you to be sensible, leave on your own, and don’t act tough, or you’ll end up becoming a laughingstock!”
“Heh! You make it sound like you’re incredibly powerful!” He Lianjun had a strong aversion to these self-righteous and arrogant figures from prestigious sects, who seemed to believe they were the sole possessors of talent. “You all exude such grandeur, yet you haven’t managed to devise a solution.”
“Mind your own business!” The girl was so enraged that her face turned red. She raised her hand to release poisonous powder.
Gu Qingluan pulled He Lianjun back, and a white light appeared in front of her, blocking the poison.
The poison fell to the ground, and the surface immediately emitted a sizzling sound, corroding the smooth stone ground unevenly.
Gu Qingluan’s pupils contracted, and she frowned, saying, “This little girl couldn’t win an argument, so she’s resorting to direct violence. Is this how the Canghai Palace educates its disciples?”
“Do you dare to insult our Canghai Palace?” The girl widened her eyes in disbelief.
Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow, “Insult? I only asked based on facts. A young lady like you can’t distinguish right from wrong?”
“Shut up! It’s not your place to lecture us!” The girl raised her hand, intending to strike.
“Yin’er, step back!” The old man, Su Haisheng, spoke in a deep voice.
The spoiled young girl, Su Ziyin, was in a fit of anger and wouldn’t listen to him. She simply lowered her hand but raised her chin and looked down her nose at people. “Fine! You go ahead! If you can’t cure the poison on them, you must kowtow to me and apologize sincerely!”
“Heh, you shameless little bitch! Do you possess the ability to cure the poison? Why should Brother Jun be responsible for it just because your Canghai Palace can’t?” He Lianjun sneered.
The young girl was quite young, yet her actions were exceedingly malevolent.
If Brother Jun hadn’t intervened just now, his handsome face might have been ruined!
“Hehe, it seems like you also know your buddy’s abilities. If you can’t afford to bet, then get lost. Staying here will only make you a laughingstock!”
He Lianjun rolled up his sleeves. “You, little bitch, you have a rotten mouth? Don’t think I won’t hit you…”
“He Lian.” Gu Qingluan pressed down his hand and looked at Su Ziyin’s face, “I’ll make a bet with you, but it shouldn’t be solely me who faces a penalty if I happen to lose.”
“Humph! What do you have in mind?”
“If I manage to cure the poison in them, you must offer sincere apologies to both me and He Lian.”
Su Ziyin looked at her confidently and briefly had a change of heart.
But then she thought about it. She and her grandfather had already examined the patients. The poison on them was quite unusual, and a solution couldn’t be found in a short time. She didn’t believe this boy could solve it!
“Fine! But there’s an additional condition!”
“Go on.”
“Half an hour! You must find a solution within half an hour!” Su Ziyin said.
“Mr. Jun, don’t…”
“Alright!” Gu Qingluan accepted this wager.
He Lianjun, seeing that she was truly going to make a bet with Su Ziyin, felt a sense of urgency. He lowered his voice and asked in her ear, “Brother Jun, are you confident? This Hai Sheng Grand Physician is the most formidable healer in the Canghai Palace, ranking among the top three on the continent. If he can’t cure the poison, who can?”
Gu Qingluan tilted her head and gave him a reassuring blink. “Don’t worry, it’s just a matter of detoxifying. There are very few poisons in this world that can truly challenge me.”
He Lianjun, upon hearing her confidently agree, suddenly remembered something.
Could it be that the masked person had given Mr. Jun the antidote?
Haha, if that’s the case, Mr. Jun is guaranteed to win!
From across the way, Su Ziyin sneered, “Arrogant!”
He Lianjun provocatively raised an eyebrow at her, “You need the ability to be arrogant!”
Su Ziyin clenched her fist, wishing she could smack this guy in the face.
Why was he so infuriating!
Su Haisheng grabbed Su Ziyin’s hand and looked at Gu Qingluan, “I’ll be watching eagerly. Please proceed, honored guest..”
