With this thought, Han Yunxi felt much more at ease. She quietly retreated to the side and sat down, ready to watch the show. Your Highness Duke of Qin, chenqie looks forward to your performance!
Since Pill Fiend had spoken, Duanmu Baiye's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Your Highness Duke of Qin, it's just a spar. Don't take it too seriously."
After he finished speaking, he retreated to the side. The room fell silent. Everyone's gaze fell on Long Fei Ye, nervous and expectant.
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye's first reaction caught everyone off guard. His icy gaze fell on Duanmu Yao's hand, his expression grim and determined. His figure suddenly flashed and closed in on Duanmu Yao.
This guy really wanted to steal!
Han Yunxi jumped in fright, but she quickly recovered. She really wanted to cheer for Long Fei Ye.
Although she knew that Long Fei Ye was only doing this to obtain the Life Blood Pill, she was still very happy. Senior brother, junior sister, whatever, they could go to hell. She decided to forgive this guy for his actions in Snake Valley.
The most surprised were the siblings, Duanmu Baiye and Duanmu Yao. Duanmu Yao instantly retreated, her eyes turning red.
Although Senior Brother always ignored her, that was because of Senior Brother's cold temperament. After so many years, Senior Brother had never snatched anything from her!
Today, he actually stole something from her for Han Yunxi. He wanted to steal something from her and give it to Han Yunxi!
No!
Duanmu Yao couldn't accept this reality. She fiercely glared at Han Yunxi, wishing she could rush over and tear that woman apart right now!
Duanmu Baiye angrily said, "Long Fei Ye, are you trying to steal a woman's things?"
"That thing isn't hers!" Long Fei Ye retorted domineeringly.
Duanmu Baiye's despicable behavior left him speechless. Duanmu Yao huffed and looked at Long Fei Ye in a fit of pique. She simply hid the Seven Stars Caterpillar Grass in her chest, then puffed out her chest and sucked in her stomach. She fearlessly said, "Senior Brother, this is a rare opportunity. Let's have a good competition. If you want to steal it, then come!"
This …
Suddenly, the room became silent, and then old man Pill Fiend laughed loudly. His voice was sometimes strange, sometimes deep and old, and sometimes bright and cheerful, filling the entire room.
"Good! Good, good idea, hahaha! "
Han Yunxi's mouth twitched as she watched. Duanmu Yao, you win! Have you no shame?!
A man's despicableness can never compare to a woman's despicableness! Long Fei Ye's face darkened, and a hint of disgust flashed through his eyes. Both sides were in a deadlock. As His Excellency Pill Fiend's laughter gradually stopped, the room fell into silence.
Pill Fiend sat loftily in the host's seat, his mood extremely cheerful. It had been a long time since Pill Fiend Valley had been so lively. He swept his gaze over the crowd before resting on Han Yunxi, his long, narrow eyes narrowing playfully.
Everyone was standing and in a deadlock. This woman was interesting. She was actually sitting and watching the show like him.
Thus, in the silence, His Excellency Pill Fiend opened his mouth, his tone slow and leisurely. "Your Highness Duke of Qin, isn't it more appropriate for a woman to steal from a woman?"
These words were undoubtedly aimed at Han Yunxi. Han Yunxi's eyes widened as she looked at His Excellency Pill Fiend. What was this old thing trying to do?
Duanmu Baiye and Duanmu Yao both looked at Han Yunxi. Only now did they notice that she was actually sitting leisurely to the side.
Seeing Han Yunxi's leisurely attitude, Duanmu Yao became even more furious. What right did she have?!
Duanmu Yao had already seen Han Yunxi's cowardice and incompetence in Snake Valley. She didn't want to fight with her senior brother, but now His Excellency Pill Fiend had given her a good idea.
Her lips curved in ridicule, Duanmu Yao sneered. "Han Yunxi, if you want something, then come and steal it yourself. This princess will give you three moves."
Long Fei Ye said indifferently, "His Excellency Pill Fiend, she doesn't know martial arts."
"Doesn't know martial arts?" His Excellency Pill Fiend seemed somewhat suspicious. Where did a woman who didn't know martial arts get the confidence to sit here so calmly and leisurely?
How could Duanmu Yao know the truth about Long Fei Ye wanting the Life Blood Pill? Seeing him so protective, her eyes seemed to be dipped in poison. "If you don't have the ability, then don't come out and make a fool of yourself."
Han Yunxi was satisfied with Long Fei Ye's performance. At least he hadn't changed his stance from beginning to end. Seeing Duanmu Yao so arrogant, she wasn't anxious. She slowly stood up and put on a pitiful expression. "His Excellency Pill Fiend, it's so rude for a woman to get physical! Besides, I don't know martial arts. How about we compete in something else? "
Before Pill Fiend could say anything, Duanmu Yao angrily asked, "Han Yunxi, what do you mean? Who are you calling rude?"
"Whoever minds, I'm talking about." Han Yunxi said calmly. Duanmu Yao was about to lose her temper when Han Yunxi quickly added, "As the grand princess of Western Zhou, your name spreads throughout the country. You're perfect in all three aspects, literary, martial, and physical. You must have excellent self-cultivation, so how could you be rude?"
Duanmu Yao was about to explode when she heard those words. No matter how angry she was, she couldn't express it. She could only suppress it in her heart.
Duanmu Baiye narrowed his eyes. Although he was angry, there was also a trace of admiration in his eyes. This woman who didn't know martial arts was even more formidable than a woman who knew martial arts!
Long Fei Ye's lips curved up slightly, but His Excellency Pill Fiend laughed out loud in delight. He loved this show too much.
Duanmu Yao couldn't vent her anger. She took a few deep breaths before forcing herself to calm down. "Fine, Han Yunxi, this princess agrees. You can compete in anything you want."
Han Yunxi was right. She was one of Cloud Realm Continent's famous talented women. She was perfect in all three aspects, literary, martial, and physical. This weak woman's competition was nothing more than child's play in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
She'd grown tired of those things since she was young. Han Yunxi was just the first wife's daughter who'd fallen out of favor from a small family. What could she use to compete with her?
Han Yunxi knitted her brows in thought. "For the sake of fairness, Your Excellency Pill Fiend should decide the competition."
Naturally, His Excellency Pill Fiend agreed. No matter who won or lost, he'd still get two treasures. Watching women fight was much better than watching men fight.
"Very good, then it's decided!" He laughed strangely again, seeming to be very excited. "This excellency will set the questions, so you two can compete …"
But he was stuck here. What should they compete in?
His Excellency Pill Fiend immediately quieted down. Having gotten used to his strange laughter, Han Yunxi didn't find it so terrifying anymore. But now she suddenly realized that this strange thing was most terrifying when he was quiet.
Although she was far away, she could still sense the mysterious and terrifying aura emanating from his body. Heaven knows what kind of terrifying questions he'd set?
Duanmu Yao raised her chin and gave Han Yunxi a provocative look. She was determined to win and was extremely arrogant. No matter what the competition was, she had to perform well in front of her senior brother and humiliate this "Qin Wangfei" in front of him.
Although Han Yunxi wasn't confident, anything was better than martial arts. She probably wasn't even as strong as Duanmu Yao.
Han Yunxi might lose in person, but she didn't lose in spirit. She arched a brow and looked back provocatively.
So what if she was a princess? She could even take care of her own country's princess, to say nothing of a neighboring country's.
After a long time, His Excellency Pill Fiend slowly raised his head. "This excellency has thought it through!"
Everyone immediately looked over. His Excellency Pill Fiend was in a good mood as he laughed strangely. "Find medicine. You two can compete to find medicine!"
Find medicine?
"Find what medicine? How do we find it? "Duanmu Yao was very surprised. This was completely outside of her expectations.
"This excellency will provide a prescription and a book of medicinal sketches for you to find in the entire Medicine Ghost Valley. Whoever finds all the ingredients in the prescription first wins." His Excellency Pill Fiend said smugly. He was very satisfied with his idea.
A trace of calculation flitted through Duanmu Yao's eyes. She didn't know anything about medicinal ingredients, but what about Han Yunxi?
This woman was the Han Family's trash. Although rumors about her becoming a genius doctor overnight were flying all over the Ning Imperial City, Duanmu Yao didn't believe it. She felt that it was nothing more than a rumor spread by this woman herself. Otherwise, with so many people coming to seek medical treatment, why didn't she see a single one?
Therefore, Han Yunxi should be the same as her. She didn't know anything about medicinal ingredients.
If Han Yunxi didn't know anything about medicinal ingredients like her, then wouldn't she have an advantage? After all, the Medicine Ghost Valley was so big. Finding medicinal ingredients all over the valley was a very tiring task.
Judging from Han Yunxi's frail body, she definitely wouldn't be able to bear it. Even if her body could bear it, her speed was far slower than hers!
Thinking of this, Duanmu Yao immediately said flatteringly, "His Excellency Pill Fiend is indeed an expert. Even the questions you come up with are different from ordinary people. However, I don't know if we can let outsiders help us find medicine?"
"Since it's a competition between the two of you, naturally no outsiders can help." His Excellency Pill Fiend seriously replied.
Hearing this, Duanmu Yao became even more confident. Without Long Fei Ye's help, how far could Han Yunxi walk with her pair of legs? How fast could she walk?
If she flew with her Qinggong, she could walk for half a day.
"His Excellency Pill Fiend, I'm willing to challenge you!" Duanmu Yao was very straightforward.
Pill Fiend was very satisfied. Looking at Han Yunxi, he asked, "Qin Wangfei, what about you?"
"It's a bit difficult …" Han Yunxi sighed softly.
"You can also admit defeat right now." Duanmu Yao immediately taunted.
Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi earnestly replied, "Although it's a bit difficult, I'm still from a medical family. Princess Changle, don't you think it's unfair for us to compete in finding medicinal ingredients?"
Smiling mockingly, Duanmu Yao said in a low voice, "It's said that you're the first good-for-nothing in the history of the Han family. How pitiful! There's no harm in this princess letting you win. "
"So you're saying that Princess Changle feels that this competition is very fair?" Han Yunxi asked again.
Duanmu Baiye listened from the side and felt that something was wrong. Just as he was about to speak, Duanmu Yao, who had a guilty conscience, was afraid that Han Yunxi would bring up the issue of her physical strength. Impatiently, she said, "It's very fair. If you agree, then let's begin immediately."
Han Yunxi appeared helpless, nodding her head. "Okay."
Okay … since there was someone who wanted to court a snub, what could she do? Han Yunxi definitely wouldn't tell Duanmu Yao that when she was studying Chinese medicine, there was a period of time where she was specifically trained to search for medicinal ingredients in the mountains.
Medicinal ingredients had different growth habits and grew in different locations. Moreover, some medicinal ingredients grew together, while others absolutely couldn't grow together.
As long as she was familiar with the growth habits and patterns of these medicinal ingredients, not to mention a valley, even if she was given an entire mountain, she would still be able to find the medicinal ingredients in a short period of time.
To make a living, how could she not have a few tricks up her sleeve?
Hearing Han Yunxi agree, Duanmu Yao's lips curled into a snicker. She couldn't wait to see her lose Long Fei Ye's Poisonous Python Pill.
"Very good. Since you've agreed, then you're not allowed to go back on your word. If you go back on your word, this daren will be very unhappy!"
Pill Fiend's laughter seemed to be both a joke and a warning. Finished speaking, he lazily got up and walked gracefully towards his desk to write down a prescription.
Medicine Ghost Valley had so many medicinal ingredients. What kind of prescription would he write down?
