The plaza beneath the light of the setting sun was quiet.
Everyone fixed their gaze upon Elder Wuyu as their breathing quickened. They could not bear to even blink.
Shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, Gu Ruoyun looked just as calm as ever. It was as if she was not the least bit worried about the negative result that Elder Wuyu’s examination could bring.
At this moment, Wen Ya, who had been paying close attention to Gu Ruoyun, noticed her calm exterior and an uncomfortable feeling rose within her heart. Her anxiety only increased as Elder Wuyu approached her.
She wanted to speak up but could not say a word.
“Give me your hand.”
Elder Wuyu looked at Wen Ya and smiled calmly as he spoke.
Wen Ya bit her lip when she heard this but held her hand out in the end.
Elder Wuyu placed his finger on Wen Ya’s pulse before he frowned elderly brows.
“How is she, Elder Wuyu?” The Clan Leader looked at Elder Wuyu and asked faintly.
Elder Wuyu turned towards the Clan Leader and shook his head before saying, “Reporting to you, Lord Clan Leader, there’s nothing wrong with this little girl’s body. That’s also to say that she’s never been poisoned!”
I’ve never been poisoned?
Wen Ya staggered back several steps before landing with her butt on the ground.
There’s no poison? How can this be? Gu Ruoyun had really poisoned me at the time and I have a very vivid sense of that poison too. How can Elder Wuyu say that I’ve never been poisoned?
Could it be… That Gu Ruoyun’s medical skills are superior to Elder Wuyu’s skills?
Therefore, Elder Wuyu can’t determine the issue in my body?
“There’s no poison? That’s impossible. My Young Lady has really been poisoned, it’s not possible that she isn’t poisoned. Elder Wuyu, please check again.” The Wen family guard staggered back and spoke with a pale look on his face.
He had one last hope in his heart; he hoped that Elder Wuyu had made a mistake with his diagnosis and had resulted in this conclusion.
However…
He did not take into account the physician’s pride. As a physician, Elder Wuyu would never let anyone suspect his abilities!
“Hmph!”
Elder Wuyu’s smile slowly disappeared when he heard this. He then straightened his sleeves and coldly remarked, “Are you saying that my medical skills are so inferior that I can’t even diagnose a person who has been poisoned?”
An aura erupted from the elder’s body and nearly knocked the Wen family guard over. He simply could not understand how Elder Wuyu was unable to detect the poison in the Eldest Lady’s body?
At the same time, Chu Luo and Zi Yun were also shocked by this conclusion. They both turned towards Gu Ruoyun in disbelief as their hearts filled with surprise.
No wonder their Master had remained so calm and collected the entire time. It was because she knows that Elder Wuyu would not be able to detect the poison in Wen Ya’s system!
Chu Luo deeply admired Gu Ruoyun at this moment.
However, Gu Ruoyun, who was still under the crowd’s watchful eye, did not say anything else. Instead, she walked towards the Sacred Beast who was in the midst of throwing a tantrum.
“Gu girl, what are you doing?” Elder Tianren furrowed his brows as he looked at Gu Ruoyun in a puzzled manner.
Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun sent Elder Tianren an odd stare, shrugged her shoulders and said, “Didn’t the Secret Order call me out here today so that we could try and receive the Sacred Beast’s approval? I’m now the only one left who hasn’t given it a go yet. Since that’s the case, let us begin. I have some urgent matters to attend to and I don’t have a lot of time to waste here. It’s best that we end this quickly.”
