Just Joking

Upon hearing Ye Leng'an's attempt to shift blame, Master Zhongyu's expression soured. He gazed at Ye Leng'an, struggling to contain his inner anger. "Miss Ye, let's speak frankly. You're well aware of what's going on with the poison in Lingshan's body. And as for this Essence Cultivating Pill, surely you understand its nature."

He could discern that Huangfu Ruiling wasn't going to intervene in this matter. So, the only breakthrough point now was with Ye Leng'an.

"Master Zhongyu, you've misunderstood me." Ye Leng'an blinked innocently, batting her large eyes. "From the start, I've made it clear that the poison from the Five Days of Slumber, when combined with the Essence Cultivating Pill, forms a completely new toxin. Zhongyu Lingshan willingly took it to prove her innocence. Unfortunately, her initial intent was to poison me, but she ended up harming herself. This has nothing to do with me!"
