Capítulo 1961: Chapter 488: An Yiqing Poisoned (2)
She turned around to leave, but out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Shi Xiaowen struggling to squat down to pick up sothing from the ground.
An Yiqing paused in her steps, sighing helplessly as she muttered, “Soft-hearted fool.”
“You’ve twisted your ankle, don’t move. I’ll help you pick it up.”
Saying this, she crouched down and began picking up the scattered white papers one by one.
Shi Xiaowen bit her red lip, timidly saying, “Thank you.”
An Yiqing didn’t say anything, quickly picking up the papers from the ground. Her eyes inadvertently scanned the content, and she slightly furrowed her brow. The papers were covered in the international nas of chemical agents, sothing not unusual for the Poison dicine Sect, but An Yiqing felt there was sothing odd about these agents.
After pondering for a mont and dismissing her suspicions as overthinking, she stood up and handed the papers to Shi Xiaowen.
“All done, check and see if anything’s missing.”
“Thank you, thank you so much!” Shi Xiaowen hurriedly took the papers with both hands, gratefully looking at An Yiqing and thanking her repeatedly, “These were printed for by Senior Sister Guh, she said they’re very important. Thanks to you, Miss An, for helping, otherwise I would have made a ss again.”
An Yiqing raised an eyebrow, “The Senior Sister you ntioned, is it Guh Siyi?”
“Yes, that’s her. She instructed yesterday to gather detailed information on these chemical agents and print them out. I searched online for a long ti to compile all the necessary data. I don’t know what Senior Sister Guh wants with these, putting these chemical agents together could be poisonous!” Shi Xiaowen mumbled, seemingly talking to herself.
An Yiqing’s brow suddenly twitched, “What did you just say?”
“Huh? What’s wrong?” Shi Xiaowen looked startled, her doe-like eyes wide as she gazed at An Yiqing.
An Yiqing suddenly shook her head, “It’s nothing. Oh, by the way, when I was picking up the docunts just now, they got a bit dusty. I happen to have a handkerchief; let wipe off the dust for you. Otherwise, Guh Siyi might scold you again.”
Saying this, she took out a handkerchief and took the stack of docunts from Shi Xiaowen’s hands, wiping them one by one.
“Thank you, Miss An, you’re so considerate.” Shi Xiaowen timidly smiled, her doe eyes glancing at the handkerchief wiping the papers before lowering her gaze.
After wiping down all the docunts, An Yiqing returned them to Shi Xiaowen and then bid her farewell.
“Junior Sister, since when did you beco so benevolent?” Nie Yuan, who had been watching silently with a sardonic smile, looked at An Yiqing.
“There’s nothing the senior brother’s eyes can’t see through.” An Yiqing smiled faintly, “Shi Xiaowen said that the docunts were gathered on Guh Siyi’s request. I initially thought the chemical agents seed a bit odd. Only after she spoke did I rember that individually these agents are normal, but together they can form a deadly chronic toxin. The nature of the Poison dicine Sect and the dicine Sect is sowhat similar, mainly involving Ancient dicine and Alchemy. Logically speaking, if Guh Siyi wanted so kind of poison, she could directly concoct sothing in the Poison dicine Sect, why go through the trouble of using these external chemical agents?”
Nie Yuan nodded thoughtfully, “So, do you think Guh Siyi is up to sothing shady?”
“Since when has she ever done anything aboveboard?” An Yiqing sneered, “I don’t know what she’s planning, but it’s always good to keep it in mind. Who knows when she might disfavor and poison ?”
“Ah! The woes of beauty!” Nie Yuan theatrically exclaid, “You can only bla General Gu’s allure. Junior Sister, if I were you, I would just eliminate Guh Siyi with a single strike, saving you from her constant annoyance.”
“Do you think I don’t want to?” An Yiqing rolled her eyes, “We haven’t uncovered the secrets of the Poison dicine Sect yet; Guh Siyi is a very important clue. If we kill her now, we lose the lead. Where else would I find Yu Hai to help our master? Once Yu Hai is exposed and Guh Siyi is of no more use, then I’ll settle a new score with her!”
The two siblings slowly strolled back to the room; the encounter with Shi Xiaowen seed like a minor interlude, not sparking much of a ripple.
Little did An Yiqing know, her kind help to Shi Xiaowen just now indirectly saved her own life.
The next day, it was the final day of the dical Exchange Competition’s grand finals! The highly anticipated new self-evaluation mode of the competition!
