Chapter 351: Stop pretending, you’ve been exposed. Chapter 351: Stop pretending, you’ve been exposed. The curtain of the carriage fluttered for a moment, but Ye Jiu had not reacted before the man in white was already seated opposite her.

Ye Jiu knew she was no match for her opponent, so she simply looked up at him quietly without speaking, waiting for him to state his purpose first.

As expected, Qing Li chuckled lightly and spoke first, “Miss Ye need not be so guarded. I, Qing Li, harbor no ill intentions. I am merely a physician, and my purpose in seeking you out is to learn what kind of medicine you used to suppress the Poisonous Insect Poison in War King Sikong Mo’s body?”

From when the War King had been stricken with the Poisonous Insect Poison, his care had commenced under his master, and after his master’s death, he had taken over.

Over decades of time, he and his master had extensively researched the Poisonous Insect Poison. What they could manage was only to ease his pain when the poison acted, and later to help him recover. Beyond that, they could do nothing more.

Yet, Ye Jiu, a young girl, had effortlessly suppressed the Poisonous Insect Poison that had troubled him for ten years, which truly baffled Qing Li. Otherwise, he would not have sought her out.

He had secretly followed Ye Jiu for several days, yet noticed nothing unusual, not even seeing the girl handle any herbs, yet she could easily put so many people under.

Of course, he could achieve this too, but it had to be in an enclosed space, otherwise, the Sleeping Drug would dissipate, greatly reducing its effect.

However, the medicine in Ye Jiu’s hands had quietly and swiftly put down dozens of people in broad daylight without any obstacles, even he, who considered himself the progenitor of drug play, was stumped!

“You’ve mistaken me for someone else. The renowned War King Sikong Mo is indeed someone I have heard a few things about, but alas, I don’t know him,” Ye Jiu said.

This person, she didn’t know whether he was friend or foe. If he were a friend of Sikong Mo, it would be fine, but if an enemy, knowing she had saved him, her life might be the first thing they’d target.

Ye Jiu would not risk her life on such a gamble, so she denied it without hesitation.

Qing Li couldn’t help but laugh, “It seems, Miss, that you are overly cautious. It is your medicine that has suppressed the Poisonous Insect Poison in Sikong Mo’s body. He himself told me this, it is absolutely true. You may rest assured, I, Qing Li, am not a bad person, I am simply devoted to medicine and wished to seek your advice.”

After hearing this, Ye Jiu also blamed Sikong Mo.

Such a grown man, truly too gossipy. Being grateful in his heart for being saved should have sufficed, yet he had to go show off as well?

It was unnecessarily dragging her into trouble. Indeed, men should not be saved!

“I’ve already said I don’t know the War King, and I hope you will not entangle this matter further,” Ye Jiu said.

“You stubborn girl, I’ve been speaking to you so nicely and patiently, yet you still fail to appreciate it!” Qing Li’s patience suddenly burst.

Ye Jiu mocked, “See, you can’t keep up the pretense, can you? You were never the refined gentleman, yet you had to put on this gentle, jade-like facade.”

Truly, if you wanted to pretend, you should have started from the beginning. That irritable and unreasonable nature had already revealed itself to her, now starting to act gentle was indeed too late!

“You…” Qing Li stomped his foot.

Ye Jiu would not believe his words; if he were truly a friend of Sikong Mo, he should have simply sought Sikong Mo directly since the medicine effective for his body had already been given by her. Why bother bypassing Sikong Mo to find her, a person he did not know at all!
