I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"What an arrogant brat who doesn't know his own limitations!"

"How do you want to fight?"

Wang Gu was enraged. Regardless of who this young man was, he decided to teach him a lesson.

Qin Ge glanced up at the medicine cabinet in the clinic and immediately had an idea. "How about this, we'll experiment with poison mixing and antidote preparation."

"Let's use the medicine in your cabinet to each concoct a poison, then have the other take it, and finally each take an antidote, how about that?"

Yang Xin'er was stunned. This guy wasn't just serious, he was risking his life?!

Is it ignorance of one's own limitations or simply a matter of skill and daring?

Even Wang Gu was moved. "Are you serious?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Qin Ge stood up, turned his chair around so his back was to the medicine cabinet, and said, "To demonstrate my excellent qualities of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, I'll let you start first!"

"Don't worry, I won't peek at your preparation process!"

Wang Gu's lips twitched. This nonsense about respecting the elderly and caring for the young has gone completely awry!

Moreover, in this contest, neither preparing the poison first nor the last will offer any advantage.

"Alright, I accept your challenge. Life and death are up to fate!"

As soon as Wang Gu finished speaking, he pondered for a moment and then began to prepare the poison with practiced ease.

He also made sure to glance back at Qin Ge every now and then to make sure she wasn't peeking.

"Are you sure you can pull off such a big move?" Yang Xin'er watched Wang Gu busy for a while, then looked away and nervously stared at Qin Ge.

"What are you saying? What man doesn't like to go for high-stakes games?" Qin Ge said calmly. "Why do you seem more nervous than I am? Are you worried about me again?"

"Yes, yes, it's all for Yang Jianjun; we're afraid no one will treat him!"

Seeing Yang Xin'er's shyness, Qin Ge preemptively said what she wanted to say.

He secretly thought to himself, "This girl's only strength is her stubbornness. I'll teach her a lesson she won't forget sooner or later."

No, it's more like completely obedient.

Yang Xin'er was speechless. She turned her head to continue watching Wang Gu prepare the poison, and then her beautiful eyes widened even more.

She watched as the medicine prepared by Wang Gu turned from black to white, and finally to red, hissing as it emitted white steam.

Even she, who knew absolutely nothing about medicine, found it amazing.

It's truly amazing how medicine and poison are inseparable! These are all kinds of medicinal materials that can cure diseases and save lives, yet they can be used to concoct deadly poisons!

"Are you even confident?" Yang Xin'er swallowed hard, her gaze fixed intently on Qin Ge. "If you're not confident, then you should just admit defeat!"

"Anyway, it's better than losing my life!"

"I can tell that the poison he concocted is really potent!"

"Whose side are you on?" Qin Ge glanced at her, expressing his dissatisfaction. "He's so capable, but am I some kind of weakling?"

"Kid, this girl is right!" Wang Gu put down the bowl of poison he had prepared. "I think you'd better listen to my advice!"

"Once you drink this bowl of poison I've prepared, even I'm not sure I can cure you before you breathe your last!"

"Youthful impetuosity is fine, but don't risk your life!"

Yang Xin'er was shocked. Was the poison really as potent as Wang Gu had said? Was Qin Ge doomed to lose?

If you drink that, you're going to die. How will you have the strength to prepare an antidote?

She looked at Qin Ge expectantly, hoping he would admit defeat.

"All done?" Qin Ge stood up, turned around, glanced at the bowl of red medicine, and sniffed. "What poison!"

"But you took way too long, almost half an hour to put this thing together?"

He stepped behind the counter. "If you're sure you want this, then it's my turn, right?"

"Please go ahead!" Wang Gu stepped out from behind the counter and sat down in the chair Qin Ge had just been sitting in. "I know the rules; I won't watch your preparation process!"

"Or you can just admit defeat, and we can discuss how to deal with you!"

Qin Ge smiled slightly in response, and then began to prepare the poison.

"Done!" In less than ten minutes, Qin Ge had prepared a bowl of dark green medicine.

He took a small bite, and his brow furrowed instantly. "That's the taste!"

"Old man, come on!"

The two exchanged medicine bowls, and Qin Ge drank the bowl of red medicine prepared by Wang Gu without any hesitation.

Finally, he gestured "please" to Wang Gu.

Wang Gu hesitated for a moment, then took a sip of the dark green medicine.

"How can it taste so good?" Wang Gu's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed again, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

Qin Ge watched Wang Gu drink the medicine and smiled smugly. "Old man, tell me, what were Lu Qi and Lin Yuan doing here just now?"

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Wang Gu said, enduring the excruciating pain. "Besides, I didn't lose, why should I tell you?"

Qin Ge maintained her smile, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask in advance, in case you can't bear the pain and can't hear my question!"

"Don't be too smug!" Wang Gu frowned and pondered for a moment. "I can cure your poison!"

As he spoke, he stumbled into the counter and grabbed the medicinal herbs from the medicine cabinet.

Qin Ge, however, calmly walked back to the chair, turned it around, and sat down, leisurely watching Wang Gu busy himself.

Seeing this, Yang Xin'er anxiously nudged Qin Ge's shoulder, "Why aren't you going to prepare the antidote yet? You might not have the strength left once the poison takes effect!"

"Or do you know there's no cure and have given up on treatment?"

"What do you mean, give up treatment? Can't you even talk?" Qin Ge grabbed the soft hand on her shoulder and squeezed it. "You're so beautiful, and I haven't even gotten what I wanted yet, how could I possibly be willing to die?"

"No need to rush, there's plenty of time."

"Go to hell!" Yang Xin'er said angrily, her face flushed, shaking off Qin Ge's hand.

Wang Gu glanced back at Qin Ge, his mind blank for a moment. Why wasn't he worried at all?

Wait, how come he looks perfectly fine?

That shouldn't be the case. The poison I concocted made it difficult for him to move after just one sip. How could he be completely unharmed?

"Old man, you still have time to watch the show? Haven't you ever seen a young couple arguing before?"

"If we don't hurry, it'll be too late!"

Qin Ge thoughtfully reminded Wang Gu, and then took Yang Xin'er's soft, boneless hand and kneaded it in his palm.

Yang Xin'er glared at Qin Ge fiercely, wanting to pull her hand back, but then stopped.

Forget it, this bastard is probably going to die, let him touch it!

Wang Gu was in unbearable pain, his movements became increasingly sluggish, and beads of sweat poured more and more from his forehead.

It took him nearly ten minutes to prepare a bowl of medicine, which he drank eagerly and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the poison in this kid wasn't too strong, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long!

"Clang—"

The medicine bowl in Wang Gu's hand fell to the ground and shattered. He then collapsed to the ground, struggling and howling in pain.
