"Follow me. Since you call me teacher and have completed my request, I should probably teach you something," Garona said as she slowly walked down the stairs.

"How much Alchemy have you learned?"

"Some healing potions…" Lu Li answered as he listed off some recipes.

Garona wasn't very interested in conventional alchemy, but when Lu Li mentioned a poison, her footsteps slowed. From this, Lu Li knew that they would be focusing on recipes that involved poison.

"Have you ever ingested poison?" Garona asked as she suddenly turned around.

"In…ingested poison?" Lu Li was shocked before shaking his head and saying, "Why would I ingest poison? It's not like I'm trying to find a poison that the enemy would like."

He had made a joke, but Garona didn't smile at all. Her eyes were looking to the side of the room, and Lu Li had no idea what she was thinking about.

During this time, Lu Li felt like Garona was a different person.
