The first one appeared!

Ji Leyue, in this state, was truly pitiful.

In the next moment, Baili Hongzhuang slowly approached Ji Leyue and squatted down in front of her.

"Ji Leyue, I advise you to think carefully. Di Tiancong's affection for you is not genuine. Compared to him, Yue Ruilin's feelings for you run much deeper. If you end up with him, that would be a tragedy. Don't sink into a tragedy from which no one can save you."

Baili Hongzhuang spoke in a low voice and then stood up. She didn't give Ji Leyue the antidote because the moment Di Tiancong conceived the idea of revenge against her, his fate was sealed.

Dealing with such scum, she wouldn't hesitate to take action.

Ji Leyue trembled, looking stunned at Baili Hongzhuang's figure. She felt a strong sense of disbelief.

She had never imagined that Baili Hongzhuang would say such words to her. But the content of her words struck at the heart of Ji Leyue's internal struggle.

She could tell that Baili Hongzhuang was speaking out of concern for her. That was what surprised her the most.

Unfortunately, she couldn't refute Baili Hongzhuang's words.

All along, she had refused to admit it and face it herself, but deep down, she knew it was all true.

The onlookers watched Baili Hongzhuang and Ji Leyue with confusion, not understanding what Baili Hongzhuang had said that could evoke such an expression from Ji Leyue.

"Master, you didn't hand over the antidote, but why does Ji Leyue's expression look so strange? It seems like she doesn't hate you."

Little Black was puzzled, finding it difficult to understand the sudden change.

"She will actually be grateful to me."

Baili Hongzhuang smiled faintly. Ji Leyue wasn't a foolish person either.

She wanted to free herself from this pain but couldn't bring herself to make the decision, so seeking help from others might not be a bad idea.

Sometimes, it's better to endure a short-term pain than a long-lasting one.

Hearing Baili Hongzhuang's words, the three beasts in the Chaos Ring couldn't help but exchange glances. What did she mean by that?

Before long, when everyone had gathered in the central square, the voice of the elder from the Yue family resonated from the high platform.

"The list of those who passed the preliminary round has been announced. The finals will now commence. I will call the names of the physicians and poison masters, and they shall come up to the high platform one by one."

The elder of the Yue family had a smile on his face. This recruitment event had attracted many talented individuals, especially the top-ranked contestant, Xuan Yi, whose performance was simply stunning.

Yesterday, after Yue Siqing had reviewed Xuan Yi's exam paper, he couldn't help but praise her. She was born to be a physician. However, she was so remarkable that he wondered if she came from a prestigious family.

Therefore, he had planned to investigate further last night, but unexpectedly, he encountered some trouble with Yue Ruilin looking for Xuan Yi and him.

However, he learned a few things from Yue Ruilin's account.

In theory, these two individuals should have fought their way through alone and now wanted to find refuge in the Yue family.

"The first place goes to Number 169, Xuan Yi!"

The elder of the Yue family was the first to announce the name. Although the finals had yet to begin, he believed that Xuan Yi would undoubtedly become a member of the Yue family.

As the elder's voice fell, everyone's gaze searched the crowd. They had been curious about the identity of Xuan Yi, who had ranked first. It was quite astonishing that, even now, she hadn't shown herself despite being the top contender.
