Chapter 2468

Zhu Yanyi stepped aside, making room for Ying Xian. She said with a smile, "I think Dr. Li trusts Dr. Ying. She believes Dr. Ying can cure the poison fast."

Yan Aohan snorted beside her. "Ignorant."

"Ignorance is not a crime," Zhu Yanyi said cheerfully. "Let reality speak for them."

Ying Xian checked Li Guangbi first. Then he thought for a moment, took out many herbs, and quickly mixed a potion. "Drink this," he handed it to Li Guangbi.

Li Guangbi drank it without hesitation.

Ying Xian watched him closely. After drinking, a black mark appeared on Li Guangbi’s forehead. It was clear the poison was not gone.

Ying Xian rested his chin on his hand, thinking hard. "Impossible. My antidote cures ten thousand kinds of poison."

Zhu Yanyi said from the side, "Maybe my poison is not among those ten thousand."

Ying Xian glanced at Zhu Yanyi, then focused back on Li Guangbi. She seemed to have an idea and mixed another potion. "Drink this."

Li Guangbi looked at Ying Xian. He didn’t think much and drank it again.

She had to drink it. It was better to drink it herself than be forced. But she felt very frustrated inside.

After drinking, Li Guangbi sighed in relief. The taste was terrible.

Ying Xian observed Li Guangbi’s reaction. The black mark on his forehead faded a little, but it was still there. This meant the poison was not fully cured, so he needed more medicine.

By the end of the morning, Li Guangbi had drunk no less than five bowls of what Ying Xian called antidote.

Looking at the sixth bowl of black liquid, Li Guangbi’s legs trembled. He felt he might not die from the poison, but he was about to burst from the medicine.

Li Guangbi looked at Ying Xian with a bitter face. "Dr. Ying, how many more bowls do I need to drink?"

"I don’t know. But the effect is good. At least the black mark on your forehead is lighter," Ying Xian said seriously. "It’s good for your body. Keep drinking."

But Li Guangbi really didn’t want to continue. He wanted to object, so he paused and said, "But Dr. Ying, you have used a lot of time. You should have lost by now."

Ying Xian looked at Li Guangbi. "I know I lost. I have no objection. But I must cure your poison first. It is rare to meet such a unique poison. How can I not study it well?"

Ying Xian’s curious gaze made Li Guangbi realize he was very interested in the poison. No matter what, he had to cooperate.

Li Guangbi didn’t want to cooperate anymore. she said, "If you admit defeat, she will give you the antidote. Then you can study it."

"Right." Ying Xian raised her eyebrows, her eyes lighting up. She looked at Zhu Yanyi. "I admit defeat. Give me the antidote."

Zhu Yanyi’s impression of Ying Xian was becoming more unexpected. When they first met, her first feeling was that Ying Xian was as sinister as her name suggested, especially her eyes. They were definitely symbols of sinfulness, like a snake’s eyes.

But at this moment, Zhu Yanyi felt that Ying Xian had an obsession with poison that others could not imagine. This obsession showed in how she refused to let go of any poison.

Zhu Yanyi looked at this situation and pondered slightly. It seemed true that one should not judge a book by its cover.

Zhu Yanyi looked at Ying Xian and casually threw an antidote to her. "One antidote."

"Give me the antidote quickly," Li Guangbi said directly.

Zhu Yanyi calmly pointed at Ying Xian beside her and said to Li Guangbi, "I already gave it to her. Ask her for it."

Unexpectedly, Ying Xian first smelled the scent. Then he said to Li Guangbi, "You will follow me for now. I will not give you the antidote yet. Wait until I finish my research and create a new antidote. Let’s go."

Ying Xian was happy to get the antidote. Li Guangbi’s face turned paler than a zombie’s. This meant if he didn’t get the antidote, he would have to stay with Ying Xian forever.

Zhu Yanyi said calmly, "Evil people are worn down by other evil people. When you were plotting against me, did you ever think you would end up like this?"

Li Guangbi looked at Zhu Yanyi. "You must have more antidotes, right?"

"Smart. I have antidotes, and quite a few," Zhu Yanyi said with a gentle smile.

"Can you give me another one?" Li Guangbi didn’t want to go with Ying Xian. Her only thought was to get another antidote from Zhu Yanyi.

"No," Zhu Yanyi said calmly. "I already gave your antidote to Dr. Ying."

"But he wants to study it," Li Guangbi said hurriedly. "It is not for me to take."

"What does that have to do with me? I didn’t refuse to give the antidote. I already gave it. As for who uses it, I don’t care. Didn’t you come together? So you are partners. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have plotted against me." Zhu Yanyi sneered at Li Guangbi. "Do you really think I know nothing? If it weren’t for your plotting and your encouragement, would Ying Xian have come to challenge me?"

Fear appeared in Li Guangbi’s eyes. She realized Zhu Yanyi knew everything she had done.

"I was wrong. I shouldn’t have plotted against you. I don’t want to die. Please give me an antidote," Li Guangbi begged.

"I said I have antidotes, but they are not free. The free one just now was for this poison contest. So there are no more free antidotes. If you want one, you must pay the price."

Zhu Yanyi looked at Li Guangbi. "Go back and think carefully. Don’t worry, my poison has an incubation period. It is usually seven to nine days. If you think clearly within this time and show enough sincerity, I will not mind giving you another antidote."

Hearing this, Li Guangbi knew he wouldn’t get an antidote today. "Can’t you just give me one more?"

"I am not a saint," Zhu Yanyi said, looking at Li Guangbi. "If you want it for free, go find Dr. Ying. Maybe she thinks it’s enough and stops researching, then she might give you the antidote."

Zhu Yanyi looked at Li Guangbi with a half-smile. "I have provided the way to get the antidote. Whether you do it is up to you. Well, you should go now. Dr. Ying has gone to the door. If you don’t chase her, you won’t catch up."

Li Guangbi was not stupid enough to think he could get a free antidote by staying. Unless he could pay the corresponding price, which he needed to think about carefully. So at this moment, he could only leave in a hurry.
