At the moment when the arrow flew out of the box and soared into the sky, Tang Ji swung his hand and threw a small flying dart that hit it, changing its trajectory, and fell to the ground, inserting itself into the mud. The flying dart also entered a nearby bamboo pole.

  "Be careful, don't get hurt." Tang Ji explained, retrieving the flying dart, looking at Tang Liu'er.

  Tang Liu's mouth was agape in a stupid daze.

  He worked so hard and prepared for a long time, finally made the one in a hundred, but... it was broken so easily?

  "Ji Ge, he...he's found it!" Tang Liu's face was a picture of injured innocence, like a poor little kid who'd had his bun snatched away.

  "I've seen it," said Tang Ji, taking the initiative to hug the mechanism box in Tang Liu's arms and saying, "Let's go, I'll send you back."

  Tang Liu nodded: "Right, I have to go back, I need to think of another one." He said to Wu Xiong, making a serious promise: "Next time, you won't win so easily!"

  Admiring you, I didn't say anything. Watching the two of them walk away silently, I plucked a nearby branch and smiled softly at Hua Rou: "Shall we begin?"

  Hua Rou blinked: "Mu Ge, how about... letting Tang Liu win once in the future?"

  I was taken aback for a moment, then lowered my eyes: "If I let him, that would be truly underestimating him."

  Hua Ruo heard this and paused for a moment, nodding in understanding: "I understand, sorry, I thought it was simpler than that."

  "Losing isn't necessarily a bad thing." Mu Junwu said, waving the branch in his hand: "Didn't you get stronger through failure after failure?"

  "When you want to win, you have to be willing to lose first, right?"

  Admiring you, I nodded: "The child can be taught! Look at this move!"

  As Mu Junwu's branches approached, Hua Rou immediately began to dodge and counterattack. However, it was strange that after just a few moves, Hua Rou started to become distracted and absent-minded.

  Zhī tiáo qiāo shàng le huā róu de jiān tóu, mù jūn wú shōu zhāo cù méi dào: "nǐ zěn me le?"

  Translation:

  Branches knocked on Huajun's shoulder, Muyu collected his sleeves and frowned, saying: "What's wrong with you?"

  Hua Rou's behavior at this moment is really abnormal.

  Hua Rou hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and grabbed Mu Junwu's wrist, closing her eyes.

  This strange behavior made Mu Junwu feel even more puzzled, but he didn't make a sound and silently allowed her to grab his right wrist which was holding the branch.

  After about ten breaths, Hua Rou opened her eyes. She looked worried and said in a low voice: "You've been poisoned!"

  "Are you kidding me? Haven't I been poisoned all along?"

  "Yes, but I mean...". Hua Rou's eyes floated with unease: "The poison on your body... has increased by several kinds."

  "What's been added?" Mu Junwu looked down at himself in surprise: "How did you notice?"

  "This... I can't quite put it into words, but in short, I can sense that the toxins within your body have grown more severe and are different from before."

  Huā Róu's answer made Mù Jūn Wú raise an eyebrow: "Feeling?"

  He didn't expect Hua Rou to tell him that everything about poison was based on intuition! This was simply unbelievable, but...

  Huā Róu saw Mù Jūn Wú and couldn't believe it, her expression was anxious. She hesitated for a moment, mustered up the courage, and with her other hand directly grasped onto Mù Jūn Wú's hand, solemnly saying: "It is, it's just a feeling, I can't explain the reason, nor do I have a way to say it, but I hope you can believe my words!"

  Looking into Hua Rouyan's serious and solemn eyes, Mo Jun understood that she wasn't lying. "I believe you." Although it was unbelievable, he was willing to trust her.

  Hua Rou's expression suddenly turned relieved and she asked anxiously: "Mu Ge, have you come into contact with any poisonous substances recently?"

  Longing for you, I remain silent.

  Last time he was very careful with the poison, if it was a trial poisoning, Hua Rou would have detected it early on, so he immediately ruled out this possibility, but apart from that, he hadn't come into contact with any poisonous substances recently...

  "Missing big brother?"

  I glanced at Hua Rou with concern and smiled: "I don't remember clearly, maybe it was when I accidentally touched it while setting up the Five Elements Formation recently!"

  He lied.

  The five-way array had been set up very early on, and when the poison was being laid out, Tang Jiuer was also present, making multiple adjustments or assisting, he never touched the poisonous substance.

  He knew he must have been ambushed somehow, but he didn't want to worry Huajiu and didn't want her to get involved either.

  "Is that so......" Hua Rou worriedly lowered her head, her mind still trying to come up with various ways to detoxify, and as a result, she didn't even notice that she was still holding onto Mu Junwu's hand.

  But as I watched her hesitate to let go, I felt an inexplicable warmth in my heart, and a faint smile involuntarily appeared on my face.

  "It's a good thing you're poisoned, or else you'd be in danger of losing your life..."

  Are you worried about me?

  Huajun heard this and raised her head, saying: "Of course I'm worried, if something happens to you, what will I do? No way, I have to think of a way to detoxify you."

  Admiring you, I looked at her furrowed brow and tilted my head: "Detox? Can you see what poison I've been poisoned with?"

  "My... " Hua Rou's words got stuck.

  She knew there was poison in his body and could feel its increase and change, but she couldn't say clearly what kind of poison it was.

  Admiring you, I see that she can't say it, smiling and raising her hand to rub the soft flower's head: "You don't even know what poison I've been poisoned with... Alright, I'll think of a way myself!"

  "Hua Rou bit her lip: 'Give me some time, I...I can do it!'"

  She finished speaking and turned around, rushing towards the poison room. After she left, Mu Junwu's smile on his face slowly faded away.

  He looked up at the sky and then around him, his eyes becoming gloomy.

  Hua Ruo flew back to the Poison House Courtyard and rushed straight to the medicine storage room, starting to rummage through boxes and cabinets.

  Lin Lin walked in with a bamboo basket, saw Hua Rou almost opening every medicine cabinet to flip through, and asked anxiously: "What are you looking for? Look at the mess you've made..."

  "Jade Fairy Finger." Hua Rou's head didn't turn back as she continued to search: "It's strange, I clearly remember it being here, but now I can't find a single one."

  "Stop looking, that little bit was used up last time when we handed over the poisonous substance to the house. Eh, what do you want it for?"

  Hua Rou was taken aback for a moment: "Oh, that... the book says it's a very rare material, so I wanted to understand it thoroughly."

  Although she couldn't say clearly what poison was in Mu Junwu, she also didn't know why she knew that those things could be solved. It's just that the situation with Mu Junwu was not to be spoken of, so she casually came up with a reason.

  "Then go to the house industry room and take it, there are all kinds of materials there."

  "Good."

  Hua Rou turned around and rushed out of the pharmacy as soon as she heard the words, but when she ran away, she didn't notice Zi Hua standing one foot outside the room.

  Zi Hua watched as Hua Rou ran out of the courtyard, then turned around and immediately returned to the east wing.

  "Sister!"

  Zi Qi is reading a book and doesn't respond.

  Zi Hua directly went up to Zi Qi's side: "Hua Rou is looking for Yu Xian Zhi."

  Zi Qi was taken aback and looked up at Zi Hua: "So?"

  "She's a pharmacology major, how would she want materials for making poison? And it's such a rare kind too?"

  Zi Qi's eyes rolled around and she said in a low voice: "Keep an eye on her."
