I insist

Chapter 107: The Test

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu frowned and wanted to argue, but stopped because of the approaching footsteps outside.

The sound stopped at the door. The two exchanged a glance but didn't want to investigate further. The man then turned and walked in another direction.

"Who do you think it could be?"

"You really don't know?"

of course I know.

Apart from his own apprentice, no one else could get close to this area.

What Song Miqiu wanted to understand even more was why these two inseparable people suddenly separated, and why one of them ran over.

Are you trying to gather information, or do you want to know the extent of the poisoning?

Song Miqiu couldn't understand it. She frowned and was about to make a move when she was forcibly pressed back into the chair by another hand.

"Since there's no tampering, there's no need to worry about it. Now let's identify these medicinal herbs."

"If I can distinguish them all, will I no longer need to stay up all night reading medical books?"

Upon hearing this question, Yu Huailin frowned slightly. Just as he was about to say something more, he saw the other party easily place the mixed herbs into different positions.

Noticing the pattern, he couldn't help but look at Song Miqiu with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"You remember everything?"

"I'm not good at anything, but my eyesight is pretty good."

That is, having a photographic memory.

Looking at Song Miqiu's confidence, Yu Huailin didn't say much, but instead threw a medical book onto the table.

She hadn't expected there to be a job, and just as she was about to fight for it, she heard the other party say something she couldn't refute.

"If you don't want to be poisoned again, write down all the medicinal herbs."

"All of it? I'm afraid I won't get any rest for another night. Do you want me to die from overwork during this match?"

Yu Huailin didn't speak, but stared straight at the other person with a calmer gaze.

After staring at each other for a long time, Song Miqiu finally gave in, sighed helplessly, and reluctantly began to carefully read through the contents.

Fortunately, I had already read most of it, and I memorized it all in less than half an hour.

Seemingly having been watching the other person intently, Song Miqiu had just put down the book in her hand when the other person looked up at her.

"I've finished memorizing it, is there anything else?"

What is the second medicinal herb on page ten?

After a moment's thought, Song Miqiu was given all the characteristics of the oleander and even picked up a brush to draw it.

Although it's not as well drawn as the one in the book, it's still barely recognizable.

Looking up, he saw Yu Huailin nod before casually sitting down in the chair behind him.

You can arrange your time as you wish afterwards.

"Really? I thought you wouldn't let me off the hook, and might even use more difficult medicinal herbs to make things harder for me."

After all, the way this person initially appeared showed that he hadn't spared himself at all.

Yu Huailin did not respond, but simply looked up at the sky outside, and after confirming that it was getting late, he was about to leave.

Confirming that the other person didn't seem to be turning back, Song Miqiu quickly followed, but suddenly turned and walked in another direction at a corner.

Unfortunately, they didn't get very far before someone else grabbed them.

"What's going on here?"

"You've taken the wrong path. They think you're someone they can't mess with."

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu frowned slightly and was about to say something more when the other party suddenly pulled her away forcefully.

Fortunately, dinner had already started, and as soon as I went in, I heard another voice.

"It's you again?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Song Miqiu turned around and saw that it was the man who had handed her the note. A helpless smile appeared on her face.

Just as he was about to explain the man's identity to Yu Huailin, a quarrel suddenly broke out outside.

"Who do you think you are, daring to speak to me like that!"

"If you're so capable, then don't take advantage of your father to do evil here!"

The words had barely left his mouth when a muffled groan was heard.

Hearing the voice from that direction, everyone seemed to recognize it and didn't bother to continue enjoying their food.

But the noise grew louder and louder until it became too loud to ignore, and the outside was already a mess.

Song Miqiu looked to the side in confusion and found two somewhat unfamiliar men fighting outside. She wanted to avoid them to avoid getting into trouble.

Unexpectedly, the man who had been chatting and laughing just moments before turned around, rushed over, and pulled the two apart.

They thought it would all end like this, but to everyone's surprise, the guy who had been beating people so fiercely also hit him.

Seeing that the person had already been beaten to the point of vomiting blood, Song Miqiu wanted to quickly step forward, but then she felt too many eyes on her from all around, and her brows furrowed again.

"Don't act rashly."

"I know."

Both of them lowered their voices to explain the situation to the other, but they couldn't bear to see the situation continue, so they had to find another way.

"What kind of new test is this? Or are you going to commit murder here in the royal palace?"

"I wouldn't even want to dirty my hands by killing someone."

The man let out a cold snort, flicked his sleeves, and was about to turn and leave when he heard Song Miqiu's voice again.

"They're just leaving people here to die?"

"Aren't you all here to participate in the Medical Sage's Ceremony? Can't you even heal such a minor injury?"

"Since you put it that way, then you should be the one to treat this person. Am I right, Zhang Jingsong?"

Upon hearing someone call his name, Zhang Jingsong let out another cold laugh and kicked the man in the stomach.

He was already coughing up blood, and he became even weaker. He struggled to reach out his hand to Song Miqiu for help.

"Don't worry, I can definitely cure you."

"But before that, please hold on a little longer. We must teach that guy a lesson."

Seeing his condition, Song Miqiu gently pressed a few acupoints until his complexion improved, then stood up and walked straight to Zhang Jingsong.

"How can you say you're incompetent? Then why do you hurt others like this, just because you see them as inferior to you?"

"That's right, he's just a cook here, he deserves to be taught a lesson like this."

Upon hearing his words, Song Miqiu let out a cold laugh and strode forward once more.

Although he didn't know why she dared to confront him, Zhang Jingsong let out a cold laugh and raised his hand to strike.

But before that hand could fall, Yu Huailin suddenly grabbed it and tossed it aside.

"Do you even know who I am? How dare you lay a hand on me?!"

"No matter who you are, you're just a contestant here."

Song Miqiu spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, which only prompted Zhang Jingsong to let out a cold laugh and wave directly at the servants nearby.

They didn't dare to resist, and instead stepped forward without making any further moves, standing aside to ensure the safety of the person.

"Scared now? I'll give you two choices: one, kneel down and apologize to me; two, I'll kick you out."
