The servant girl screamed out in pain!
The crowd could not help but look at her, their eyes full of realisation, that the second daughter of the Helian family had revealed her true nature, which was worse that a shrew.
Upon realising what she had done, Helian Jiao Er retracted her hand and her expression changed and she said lightly: “You girl, what intentions have you got. Elder sis has won and that is final. It doesn’t matter what method she has used, I admit defeat. How dare you! Ask me to create problems for my elder sis!”
“M….miss.” The servant did not know why her mistress had said these words and replied: “Servant does not dare.”
After these remarks, those who lost against Helian Wei Wei had other ideas, they wanted to maintain their image. Fingers held on to their injured arm yelling at the judge: “Judge, this competition is not fair. We request to measure Helian Wei Wei’s martial qi.”
Helen Weiwei just looked at them with a smile that had a hint of mockery.
Those few people felt that there was something amiss, first they could not summon their martial qi, then there was that invisible barrier of air around Helian Wei Wei. During the crystal ball test, her body had no martial qi. Yet now she was so formidable.
She must have used something they didn’t know about!
Ten or so students argued about this and had asked the judges to repeat.
While the judges were deliberating over this matter.
Suddenly.
The fiercest of the girls who was arguing grabbed her left chest and fell to the ground, her face ashen!
Then there was a shrill scream!
Everyone looked at the girl and took a big step backwards: “What, what is going on?”
There was a smarter young master who upon seeing what had happened to the girl, checked his pulse. This was when he realised that the martial qi on his body was disappearing fast!
“It’s Huagong poison, it must be Huagong poison!”
All ten people then put their fingers onto their pulse point, they shook their heads in despair.
“No, there is more than just Huagong poison. There is also a deadly bone-eroding poison!” Someone had learnt the art of medicine and discovered the seriousness of their condition through checking their own side effects.
The effect of the bone-eroding poison was that there was none to begin with. And when there was a reaction from the poison, it would be too late!
The man panicked: “What should I do? What should we do? There is no antidote for the bone-eroding poison! And we tried to summon our martial qi earlier…”
Bam!
He had not finished speaking when another one of them had fallen down!
