Han Yunxi looked at Gu Qi Sha coldly as she adopted a stance that wouldn't budge an inch. Gu Qi Sha narrowed his eyes dangerously as he stared back at her.
It was as if a battle was about to break out between the two of them.
"Han Yunxi, I respected you for being a reasonable and reliable person, but I didn't expect you to be no different from any other woman! You're truly disappointing! "Gu Qi Sha snorted coldly.
"How do you expect me to prove something that I can't prove?" Han Yunxi retorted Coldly.
"So you also know that you can't prove anything," Gu Qi Sha sneered.
"If you can't prove anything, then let's fight. If you win, then we'll take it that you only cheated us out of ten percent of the antidote. If you lose, then you'll have to compensate us with twenty percent! "
Han Yunxi looked angry on the surface, but she was actually very calm and astute on the inside.
She was certain that Gu Qi Sha had taken ten percent of the antidote, so all she could think about was compensation. She wanted to get the best compensation possible.
Gu Qi Sha didn't mind compensating them, his only goal was to find out where the ten percent of the antidote had gone.
Gu Qi Sha almost vomited blood when he heard Han Yunxi's words.
She clearly knew that he couldn't beat Long Fei Ye, but she still wanted to fight him!
"Han Yunxi, you shameless scoundrel!" Gu Qi Sha cursed angrily.
"If you don't fight, then it proves that you're guilty!" Han Yunxi immediately retorted.
Gu Qi Sha's mood soured when he heard this. "You … You … You don't want to know where the ten percent of the antidote went?"
The usually calm Gu Qi Sha was truly enraged at this moment.
Long Fei Ye, who had not been questioned, remained calm throughout, taking in Gu Qi Sha's every word and action.
If he had been suspicious before, then he was now certain that Gu Qi Sha had an ulterior motive for deliberately emphasizing where the ten percent of the antidote had gone.
The black shadow that had barged into the Hidden Pavilion to kidnap Mute Granny surfaced in Long Fei Ye's mind once again. He silently sized up Gu Qi Sha, his gaze as deep as the sea, unfathomable.
"Then you'll be the one who swallowed the medicine. You don't need to talk nonsense with me. Just tell me, are you going to compensate or not? "Han Yunxi asked Coldly.
Gu Qi Sha didn't hesitate at all. "No! Even if I die, I won't compensate you! "
Han Yunxi ignored him and looked at Long Fei Ye.
Long Fei Ye didn't like to talk nonsense even more than Han Yunxi. He directly drew his sword, and the Sword Qi broke the silence of the night.
Despite having lost twice to Long Fei Ye, Gu Qi Sha wasn't afraid at all. He held his head high and looked death in the eye. "I won't regret even if I die!"
Han Yunxi's heart skipped a beat. She knew that Gu Qi Sha had been defeated twice by Long Fei Ye's sword. She had thought that Gu Qi Sha would be afraid, but she hadn't expected him to be so stubborn.
Although she was shocked, Han Yunxi didn't back down. She sneered, "This princess consort doesn't believe that there's such a thing as going back on one's words!"
At this moment, the high and mighty Han Yunxi was like a domineering and iron-blooded queen. Even Long Fei Ye seemed to be obeying her orders.
As soon as she finished speaking, Long Fei Ye made his move. He raised his sword and stabbed it at Gu Qi Sha.
Han Yunxi waited. She waited for Gu Qi Sha to stop, beg for mercy, and admit defeat!
Someone like Gu Qi Sha was definitely a coward who was afraid of death. His bearing and strength of character had nothing to do with him.
This was a game, a negotiation, and even a business deal. Both sides were putting on an act, and only the one who could last until the end would win.
Han Yunxi thought to herself as Long Fei Ye's sword approached Gu Qi Sha.
Long Fei Ye was just like her, waiting for Gu Qi Sha to stop.
The last two times, Gu Qi Sha had given in. This guy was the classic example of someone who wouldn't give up until he saw the coffin.
However, this time, Gu Qi Sha didn't dodge, nor did he shout for the sword to stop. He just stood there, his eyes cold and stubborn as he stared straight at Han Yunxi.
This guy, why isn't he dodging?
Han Yunxi was puzzled. She couldn't help but ask, "Do you admit defeat?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Qi Sha didn't even answer her. Instead, he leaned forward and used his black robes to block the sword.
Han Yunxi was shocked. Long Fei Ye was also very surprised.
However, Gu Qi Sha finally opened his mouth. He was as stubborn as a child as he said word by word, "I didn't do it, so I won't admit defeat!"
Han Yunxi was puzzled.
He won't admit defeat?
Then where did the ten percent of the antidote go?
It couldn't have been Long Fei Ye who took it, right? Why would Long Fei Ye take that ten percent of the antidote for no reason?
Although the antidote for Broomcorn Millet Poison was expensive, it was completely useless if it wasn't used to cure the poison!
For some reason, Mu Ling 'er's angry eyes and her accusatory words suddenly appeared in Han Yunxi's mind.
Han Yunxi shuddered at the thought and stopped abruptly.
Heavens, what was she thinking?
How could she suspect Long Fei Ye? What reason did Long Fei Ye have to imprison Mute Granny? Long Fei Ye had even less reason to hide her identity from her.
Knowing her identity would not only help her guard against some unknown dangers, but it might even help Long Fei Ye a lot.
The orphan of Western Qin's imperial family had considerable influence. As a descendant of the Poison Sect, she would definitely be able to control some of the sect's resources. This would only benefit Long Fei Ye.
Long Fei Ye would definitely tell her as soon as he had any news.
Besides Long Fei Ye, Gu Qi Sha was the only other person who had come into contact with the antidote. There was no third party. If it wasn't Long Fei Ye, then it had to be Gu Qi Sha.
Han Yunxi had no choice but to choose between Long Fei Ye and Gu Qi Sha.
Han Yunxi would only choose Long Fei Ye.
"You're pretending! Keep pretending! You're even capable of adulterating the antidote! You still have … "
Before Han Yunxi could finish, Gu Qi Sha grabbed Long Fei Ye's sword and stabbed it into his shoulder. Blood immediately soaked his black robes and dripped to the ground.
"Master!"
The old steward cried out and tried to stop him, but Gu Qi Sha shoved him aside. He glared at Han Yunxi and roared, "This old man already said that I won't admit to anything if I didn't do it!"
Faced with such a gaze, Han Yunxi wanted to confidently kick him back, but in the end, her heart grew flustered and she subconsciously avoided him.
She had always been firm in dealing with matters she had set her mind on. Why was she so afraid to look Gu Qi Sha in the eye this time?
Could it be that she had wavered?
Han Yunxi furrowed her brows and looked at Long Fei Ye.
Long Fei Ye's heart skipped a beat, but he was never one to drag his feet or hesitate. He was terrifyingly decisive!
He didn't look at Han Yunxi. Instead, a cold light flashed in his eyes as he pulled out his sword and stabbed it towards Gu Qi Sha's heart.
This sword technique and strength were exactly the same as the one he'd used to stab the black-robed man in the heart.
If Gu Qi Sha died, everything would be over.
If Gu Qi Sha didn't die, he would have discovered a secret.
Han Yunxi was shocked. She didn't expect Long Fei Ye to be so ruthless. She couldn't regain her senses for a moment.
However, Gu Qi Sha was still staring at her, completely unfazed by Long Fei Ye's sword.
Just like that, the blade of the sword closed in and stabbed towards Gu Qi Sha!
At the same time, Gu Qi Sha abruptly retreated a large step to avoid Long Feiye's sword by a hair's breadth.
Yes, he avoided it!
Han Yunxi's taut nerves immediately relaxed. She couldn't help but exhale, secretly rejoicing.
However, she soon realized that something was wrong.
What was she rejoicing about? Rejoicing my ass!
Gu Qi Sha retreated and said that he wouldn't admit to anything even if he died. In the end, he still managed to avoid the sword that was aimed at his heart.
Although a piercing wound would cause a lot of blood, it wouldn't kill him. She was almost fooled by this despicable and cunning bastard!
Long Feiye smiled coldly before withdrawing his sword and wiping off the bloodstains.
Han Yunxi smiled disdainfully. "What? Is this what you meant by 'not admitting to anything even if you die'?"
Gu Qi Sha stared at them for a long time without saying a word. No one knew what he was thinking.
Long Fei Ye slowly wiped his sword clean, then used the same trick again. He pointed the sword at Gu Qi Sha's heart. "This prince will ask you one last time. Do you admit to anything or not?"
"Yes!" Gu Qi Sha's attitude took a 180-degree turn.
He reached out to remove Long Feiye's sword and pressed it against his shoulder blade. Fresh blood stained his hand, staining his bony fingers red. Amidst the horror, there was a hint of desolation.
Han Yunxi's doubts were dispelled just like that.
"Where's the medicine?" Han Yunxi asked.
"I sold it a long time ago!" Gu Qi Sha replied coldly.
Han Yunxi was shocked. "Who bought it?"
The buyer must be someone who needed the antidote for Broomcorn Millet Poison. Perhaps Mute Granny really wasn't dead!
Gu Qi Sha glanced at Long Fei Ye and snorted. "I don't know. His price made me very happy. I don't care if he's a human or a dog!"
A cold glint flashed across Long Fei Ye's eyes, but he didn't say anything.
Han Yunxi, on the other hand, was anxious. "Gu Qi Sha, tell me who bought it. We can discuss compensation. How about it?"
"Would you believe me if I made it up?" Gu Qi Sha asked seriously.
Han Yunxi was furious, but Gu Qi Sha suddenly asked, "Would you believe me if I said it was the Duke of Qin who bought it?"
Han Yunxi ignored him and said Coldly, "We'll compensate you ten times if you're lying. You have to pay us twenty percent, which is two bottles of antidote!"
Gu Qi Sha sat down and said, "I don't have the antidote to compensate you. Just tell me how much money you want."
Tsk tsk, what a rich and overbearing guy. He actually dares to talk about money in front of the Duke of Qin.
Han Yunxi laughed. "Lord Pill Fiend, how much money do you think it'll take to buy two bottles of antidote for Broomcorn Millet Poison? That's two portions of Serpent Fruit, Bear Chuan, and Panoptic Red Lotus!"
These things couldn't be bought even if one had the money, and now it was even more so.
"Then what do you want?" Gu Qi Sha looked cold, but he was actually disappointed and weak.
Han Yunxi was waiting for him to say this. She quickly replied, "I'll compensate you with medicine."
"What do you mean?" Gu Qi Sha asked indifferently, feeling even more powerless.
"Use your Medicine Ghost Valley's antidotes as compensation! Bear Chuan, Panoptic Red Lotus, and Serpent Fruit are worth twenty times their original value. That's at least … "
As Han Yunxi spoke, her eyes swiveled before she added, "For better or worse, it should be worth your Pill Fiend Valley, right?"
"Cough! Cough cough! "
The old steward suddenly started coughing violently, obviously choking on his own saliva.
This princess consort wasn't asking for an exorbitant price, she was asking for an exorbitant price with twenty lions!
No matter how valuable the Panoptic Red Lotus, Serpent Fruit, and Bear Chuan were, they definitely couldn't compare to Medicine Ghost Valley.
What kind of joke was this woman playing?
