Pharmacist Li entered the reception hall and saw Elder Beishan hosting Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen. After observing Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen for a moment, he stepped forward to Elder Beishan’s side.
"Elder Beishan, there is something I need to ask you. Are you available now?" Pharmacist Li whispered beside Elder Beishan.
Elder Beishan nodded and looked towards Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen, "Please excuse me for a moment!"
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen nodded, "Please, Elder Beishan."
Watching Elder Beishan and Pharmacist Li leave, Song Yan Ning already had an idea, knowing that Pharmacist Li’s search for Elder Beishan must be related to Elder Qing Ye. However, she would not provide an antidote for Elder Qing Ye. How could she possibly save someone who wanted her dead?
Elder Beishan and Pharmacist Li moved to a side room.
"Elder Beishan, Elder Qing Ye has been poisoned," Pharmacist Li said.
"What? Poisoned?" Elder Beishan was somewhat surprised.
Pharmacist Li nodded, "I just checked her, and the poison in Elder Qing Ye is very strange, even the Detoxification Pills I made can’t cure it. I suspect the poisoners are Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen."
"It couldn’t be them," Elder Beishan immediately denied Pharmacist Li’s suspicion.
"If not them, then who?" Pharmacist Li also doubted that Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen had the capability to silently poison a Transcendance Tribulation Stage powerhouse, but it couldn’t be Elder Beishan and the other elders. They had been working with Elder Qing Ye for thousands of years. If they had really disliked Elder Qing Ye, they would have acted long ago, not waited until now.
Elder Beishan suddenly found himself at a loss for words. The ones closest to Elder Qing Ye at that time were none other than Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen. Song Yan Ning was proficient in Medical Skills, so it was very possible that she was the poisoner. But Elder Qing Ye’s cultivation was many times higher than Song Yan Ning’s. How could she not notice Song Yan Ning poisoning her?
"How is Elder Qing Ye now?" Elder Beishan asked. He planned to privately ask Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen later. If it really involved them, he would persuade them to help cure Elder Qing Ye. Elder Qing Ye indeed had gone too far this time. If she hadn’t harbored the intent to kill Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen, why would they have poisoned her? A lesson was deserved.
Pharmacist Li shook his head, "When I was there, her face was pale, and she was covered in cold sweat. I had to forcefully use silver needles to seal her acupoints before she fell asleep."
Elder Beishan nodded, "I understand, I will ask Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen."
"Alright," Pharmacist Li nodded.
Elder Beishan and Pharmacist Li returned to the reception hall, and Elder Beishan sat down next to Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen.
After sipping his tea, Elder Beishan eventually spoke slowly, "I just heard from Pharmacist Li that Elder Qing Ye suddenly fell ill. I wonder if the both of you would accompany me to check on her." He wanted to gauge their attitude first. Asking directly if they were the poisoners would surely upset Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen.
"Elder Beishan, we are neither relatives nor close friends with Elder Qing Ye, and it really isn’t convenient for us to go. It’s getting late, and we should take our leave," said Qin Yushen as he and Qin Yushen stood up.
"Elder Qing Ye may be a bit hot-tempered, but she’s actually a good person. You’ll understand after more interaction," said Elder Beishan. He already knew the attitude of Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen, but as someone who had worked with Elder Qing Ye for so many years, he really couldn’t bear to see her fall.
