Chapter 515: Perfectly justified to capture her

Cries of disbelief rose from the crowd at her words. What harsh terms! That’s equal to having her betray the Mu Clan and all of Medicine City! But the girl actually agreed to them!

There’s no mistaking it, she must have true skills to be so confident!

Even the people who looked down on Mu Linger were moved by her words. Perhaps we’ll see a miracle happen in the medical community tonight and have Mu Linger beat Gu Qi Sha.

Meanwhile, Mu Yingdong was so angry that veins were popping out of his forehead. He was standing in the crowd as well, and had no idea what Mu Linger was playing at. Still, he could sense the workings of a conspiracy in place! Han Yunxi was aiming for the foundation of his Mu Clan!

Abominable!

And yet despite his wrath, he remained aloof and indifferent. Mu Yingdong leveled a long stare at Elder Xie, who was standing in front of him. A shrewd look entered his eyes as he forgot all about his anger.

“Then….please begin,” Han Yunxi said with a smile.

In an instant, hundreds of eyes focused on the duo, all of them expectant and eager! The pill-making contest was about to start!

They saw Gu Qi Sha exposed his skinny, skeletal fingers while Mu Linger slowly rolled up her own sleeves. Everyone was silent under the tense atmosphere, their gazes fixated on their each and every move.

But then!

Mu Linger’s hands flashed across the table and grabbed her mortar and pestle. Her fingers played the handle like an instrument while her other hand swept ingredients into its base. Soon enough, she produced a tiny black pill from the inside.

On the other side, Gu Qi Sha’s movements were even faster than hers. He didn’t even bother using any tools, but somehow did some lightning-quick movements with his hands that were impossible for the human eye to see. In a flash all of the ingredients on his table disappeared, to be replaced with a single small pill.

It had taken seconds for both parties to create their medicine.

That’s it?

Everyone had been waiting an entire day just for a few seconds’ worth of content? Moreover, none of them managed to see anything at those speeds!

What cheats!

They could only console themselves with the fact that they did, technically speaking, see high-level experts at work. Despite their disappointment, they were still tense; after all, the process wasn’t as important as the result! It was very possible that Mu Linger would give them all a surprise!

Han Yunxi personally took the two pills and raised them up high for everyone to see. Both of them were the exact same color and resembled their compatriots on the market. Under the gazes of everyone present, the pill testers each took the pill at the same time. Tension filled the air and the silence was loud enough to hear them swallow the pill.

They’d eaten it!

And then Gu Qi Sha’s tester suddenly widened his eyes before bending over and clutching his stomach to run for the nearest restroom. His speed was akin to a streak of smoke—phenomenally fast.

This…

Hundred Purging Pill was a laxative, but the ones on the market still needed two hours to take effect even if the patient took three at a time. They’d never seen such fast effects! Of course, the crowd was more concerned with Mu Linger’s tester now, because…he hadn’t reacted at all!

So then…

Mu Linger sighed softly before she said in a calm tone, “Heheh, Your Excellency Pill Fiend, looks like I’ve lost.”

Han Yunxi was secretly chuckling on one side, while Gu Qi Sha had no reaction whatsoever. The onlookers were left speechless by the admission.

That’s it? It’s over just like that?!

Mu Linger was so arrogant and self-confident but lost so simply? Damn it, why are you being so calm? Sure, we might not have seen the pill-making process, but the results of the competition also had…completely no suspense!

Mu Linger, you cheatin’ us?! We waited an entire day for this! We were looking forward to it so much!
