Long Fei Ye was about to ask Han Yunxi why she was in such a hurry to pack, but he paused when he saw Third Elder.
Third Elder ignored Long Fei Ye's presence and asked as soon as he entered, "Qin Wangfei, what's the matter with the crown prince's chronic illness?"
Han Yunxi finally stopped and sneered, "Third Elder, why don't you ask Director Xi instead of me?"
Han Yunxi had given up so easily, and now she was speaking in such a tone. Third Elder was even more suspicious. "Qin Wangfei, you're purposely letting the Old Man win!"
Third Elder didn't want to lose, but he didn't want a draw either. Even more so, he didn't want a young girl to yield like this.
To a seventh-rank medical sage like him, this was an enormous humiliation. He couldn't get past himself!
"No, Third Elder is overthinking things. Why should I yield to you?"
Han Yunxi had worked so hard to cure Long Tianmo's poison, so how could she purposely let Third Elder win? She was just worried about the effects of the gu arts.
Gu arts weren't anything good and were extremely harmful. Back then, the medical academy had destroyed the Poison Sect mostly because of the Poison Sect's gu arts.
There were very few people who knew about gu arts now. If she explained that Long Tianmo had been poisoned by gu, then everyone in the world would know about the existence of gu arts. At that time, there would be a wave of people looking for and learning gu. She would become the main culprit, and the world would fall into chaos once gu arts were revived.
A tomboy like Han Yunxi had always insisted that she was a little girl and that the world's prosperity had nothing to do with her. But when faced with this kind of situation, she didn't hesitate to consider the bigger picture.
Third Elder was speechless when he heard Han Yunxi's retort. They had argued over this case since the first time they met, and Han Yunxi had won in the end. She really had no reason to yield.
The Third Elder thought that he was probably overthinking things.
But Han Yunxi finished packing and sat down calmly before continuing, "I'm only letting you win because I don't want the medical academy to get into big trouble."
"You!" Third Elder felt like he had been played. "Even if you win, the medical school won't get into any big trouble!"
Han Yunxi won, and Third Elder only promised to do one thing for her. The consequences were not so exaggerated.
This stinky lass, she could overflow with just a little bit of water! It seemed like he had come for nothing.
He was too lazy to ask any more questions and got up to leave. However, at this time, Han Yunxi became serious. She lowered her voice and said, "Third Elder, you didn't see that Xi Yubo used the Gu Technique, right?"
As soon as she said this, Third Elder looked at Han Yunxi in shock!
Regardless of whether Han Yunxi was telling the truth or not, just the fact that she knew about the "Voodoo Technique" was enough to make Third Elder nervous.
How could someone of Han Yunxi's age know about voodoo?
Long Fei Ye and Tang Li were equally shocked. The two of them exchanged glances but did not say anything.
Voodoo was a taboo in the medical academy. Now, only the oldest group of people knew about it. Moreover, most of them had only heard about it and did not really understand it, let alone know how to use it.
How did Han Yunxi know about it?
Seeing Third Elder's shock, Han Yunxi knew that her guess was right. Third Elder really did not see it.
"Third Elder, Long Tianmo's stomach has a Gu worm, so his old disease relapsed overnight. Xi Yubo's so-called chronic ascites doesn't exist at all!" Han Yunxi said seriously.
Alright, she admitted that she did it on purpose. She gave up so decisively to lure Third Elder over. Some words were really not good to say in front of too many people.
Third Elder frowned and looked at Han Yunxi without saying anything for a long time.
Of course he knew that chronic ascites didn't exist, and could tell that Long Tianmo's relapse had something to do with Xi Yubo. But he always assumed it was one of Xi Yubo's secret arts. He never expected it to be voodoo!
"Third Elder, the crown prince's stomach is a malignant tumor. When I treated the poison in the past, I turned the tumor into blood. Emperor Tianhui saw it with his own eyes. The relapse was caused by Xi Yubo's Gu. After the crown prince was kidnapped on the road, someone helped him get rid of the Gu, but poisoned him instead. "
Han Yunxi explained everything clearly. She should have said these words in the first place. If she did, she would have won.
Now she only said them for Third Elder to hear.
Seeing that Third Elder was still frowning, Han Yunxi added, "Xi Yubo suspected that the crown prince was a fake because he was too self-confident. He thought no one could cure his Gu."
Hearing this, Third Elder had no choice but to believe it.
If Han Yunxi hadn't made a bet with him, it would have been Xi Yubo, Luo Zuishan, and the other elders examining Long Tianmo together.
He never believed Xi Yubo's "chronic ascites" to begin with. He always assumed that Xi Yubo had used some sort of secret arts to make him so certain that Han Yunxi couldn't explain it.
Now it looked like voodoo was more likely!
Many doctors had their own secret arts. Unless they passed it on to someone else, no one else would be able to understand them. The person who kidnapped Long Tianmo definitely didn't know Xi Yubo's secret arts!
Normally, only the person who planted the Gu would understand the voodoo arts, but it was hard to say if the person was an expert.
If that was the case, then voodoo could explain all the suspicious points in Long Tianmo's case!
Third Elder was suddenly enlightened and muttered to himself in disbelief, "So that's how it is! So that's how it is! "
Very soon, Third Elder grew alert. "Esteemed wangfei, who was the person who kidnapped Tianning's crown prince?"
For now, Third Elder didn't care where Xi Yubo had learned the voodoo arts. In any case, it was impossible for Xi Yubo to escape this calamity and leave the medical academy.
He was more concerned about Han Yunxi and the kidnapper's Gu expert.
"I only know that the kidnappers were from the Hundred Poisons Sect. Many Poison Humans showed up at the time," Han Yunxi was waiting for an answer to this question.
She wouldn't reveal Jun Yi Xie's identity directly. She wouldn't even reveal that he was the sect leader of the Hundred Poisons Sect. Instead, she'd leave a clue for the medical academy to investigate and cause trouble for the Hundred Poisons Sect.
Moreover, once news of Jun Yi Xie and Princess Yao's collusion spread in Medical City, Northern Li's imperial clan would definitely investigate Jun Yi Xie's actions.
Tattletale and exposure weren't good methods, but Han Yunxi felt that this was how things should be for that bastard Jun Yi Xie!
Whether it was Northern Li's imperial clan or the Hundred Poisons Sect, Jun Yi Xie would have endless troubles in the future!
Third Elder didn't know the art of poison, but he was very clear on what a "Poison Human" was.
If the Hundred Poisons Sect could raise Poison Humans, it wouldn't be strange for them to know the art of poison!
Third Elder stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly. Soon, his guarded gaze turned towards Han Yunxi, "Esteemed wangfei, you also know the art of poison?"
If she could see it, she must know it as well!
Luo Zuishan was one of Gu's people, so Han Yunxi naturally wouldn't betray him.
She stood up and shouldered her bag, smiling broadly, "Third Elder, I don't know the art of poison, so we'll call it a draw today. With Xi Yubo here, you'll be able to answer to the higher-ups."
Third Elder was a smart person, so he immediately understood what she meant.
Han Yunxi didn't publicize the matter of the art of poison in the consultation hall, which was enough to show that she understood the dangers of poison.
She clearly could've won and used the opportunity to spread her name throughout the world, but she gave up everything for the sake of the greater good.
Not to mention a woman, even a man might not have such breadth of mind.
And this was precisely the breadth of mind a doctor should have. A true doctor saved people, saved the country, and saved the world!
She clearly could've avoided him and found the dean of the medical academy to reveal the truth. If she did this, not only would Xi Yubo suffer, even he, the representative of the Council of Elders, would be implicated.
However, she didn't. She still left him a way out. A doctor's heart was ultimately kind.
She said, "I don't know the art of poison, so we'll call it a draw," so carefree. Third Elder looked at Han Yunxi, not knowing what to do.
He always thought this girl was conceited, arrogant, competitive, disrespectful, and unforgiving. Even if her poison arts were exceptional, he didn't think she was a good girl.
But now, he had no choice but to re-evaluate her.
It was the first time Third Elder was so impressed by a junior. With a serious expression, he said, "Qin Wangfei, Old Man lost. Not to mention one thing, as long as you have any request from Medical City, Old Man will definitely do his best to help!"
Unexpectedly …
Han Yunxi was too surprised. She'd only done what she thought was right. Just then, she'd even tricked Third Elder with her words.
She didn't expect Third Elder to admit defeat and give her such a heavy promise.
It really was a blessing in disguise. In the future, she'd have connections and connections in Medical City!
Han Yunxi didn't hide her joy. She was truly pleasantly surprised. She cupped her hands and openly accepted the promise. "Third Elder, deference is no substitute for obedience. Yunxi will remember your words!"
Third Elder nodded. "Old Man still has matters to attend to, so he won't accompany you any longer!"
Naturally, Third Elder was hurrying off to deal with Xi Yubo. Just where did this guy get his Gu skills from?
This wasn't a question Han Yunxi was concerned about. She only knew that the trouble had been dealt with and that she and Gu Beiyue were innocent.
She didn't know where Gu Beiyue had gone, but the medical academy was already searching for him. Hopefully, they'd have news as soon as possible.
At this moment, the silent Long Fei Ye finally spoke up. "Han Yunxi, you're formidable."
It was rare for him to praise someone, so he was truly happy for Han Yunxi. He didn't expect this woman to rely on her own abilities to gain Third Elder's approval. With Third Elder's protection, she might not be able to walk sideways, but at least her path would be smooth.
Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi actually said politely, "Your Highness praises me too much. Chenqie is already extremely fortunate that I didn't lose Your Highness's face."
Sometimes politeness wasn't a form of courtesy, but a coldness that kept people a thousand li away.
Long Fei Ye looked at her, slightly dazed. He suddenly didn't know how to reply.
"If Your Highness has no other matters, chenqie will take her leave," Han Yunxi said as she tidied up her bundle and prepared to leave.
If her previous disregard wasn't obvious, then it couldn't be any more obvious now.
As he watched Han Yunxi's back, Long Fei Ye's entire face turned cold. Tang Li couldn't help but shudder. He hurriedly said, "Han Yunxi, wait a moment. I'll leave first!"
At a time like this, it was better for him to avoid her.
Han Yunxi really did stop and make way for Tang Li. However, Long Fei Ye's frosty face finally warmed up a little. Just as he was about to speak, Han Yunxi actually took out a small blue and white porcelain vase. She didn't approach Long Fei Ye and just casually placed it on the table.
This was none other than the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion!
She became even more polite. "Chenqie is incompetent and can't decipher it. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
