“Who says using poison to win doesn’t count? Isn’t Fang Lin relying on his own strength?” Han Luoyun stated calmly, her tone not giving an inch.

Li Zhendong stood up, a visage of anger on his face, and said: “If he doesn’t use poison, could Fang Lin have won over Li Shengming?”

Han Luoyun remained as tranquil as an ancient well: “Hasn’t he already won?”

Li Zhendong’s expression conveyed his annoyance: “Could one still use poison as a means to win during the Great Tri-Nation Competition? Would this not make both Yun Country and Meng Country laugh at our Qian Country’s incapability, that we can only resort to such dirty tactics?”

“That’s right, this competition doesn’t count.”

“Let’s compete again, Fang Lin can’t use poison!” freёweɓnovel.com

“What counts Fang Lin without these despicable tactics?”

The Li Family members also began to protest noisily, appearing extremely discontented.

“Head of the Li Family, tell your clansmen to stop their clamour!” Yang Jianye said, somewhat displeased.

Li Zhendong waved his hand, and his family members fell silent, but all of them bore a disgruntled look.

Han Luoyun looked at Yang Jianye: “I wonder what the Emperor thinks?”

Yang Jianye pondered for a moment and said: “Regardless, Fang Lin won this competition.”

Li Zhendong sprang to his feet, glaring at Yang Jianye: “I refuse to accept this!”

Yang Jianye snorted, his expression also somewhat unsightly: “It doesn’t matter whether you accept it or not, can you guarantee that Yang Shengming would certainly win if we compete again? You’re simply inferior. Li Zhendong, don’t you understand even this principle?”

Li Zhendong’s face twitched with rage. It was not that he wanted to be unreasonably obstinate, but accepting this defeat was extremely difficult for him.

Han Luoyun smiled faintly, pointing to Li Shengming who was vomiting not far away, and said: “Looking at his condition, I’m afraid he will be unable to compete again.”

Indeed, Li Shengming was in such a bad state that he wished for death. It felt as though he had vomited out all his inner organs, but the feeling of dizziness and nausea had not subsided and was becoming more severe. His nose was running, and he was crying uncontrollably.

There was already a small pile of filth next to Li Shengming. He had nothing left to vomit, even the yellow bile in his stomach had been emptied.

The vomiting was secondary, but the dizziness was making Li Shengming feel particularly wretched. He could not stand up, and moving even slightly triggered a bout of vertigo.

Thud!

Unable to tolerate it anymore, Li Shengming collapsed and fainted.

The Li Family members all fell silent. They too could see that, in his condition, Li Shengming would probably not recover even within the next five days.

Li Zhendong cursed loudly, ordered two of the Li Family members to remove Li Shengming, and then promptly left the place, not wanting to stay for another second.

Anyone in his place would have not wanted to stay any longer. The Li Family’s prestige was thoroughly tarnished today. They brought five talented clan members with them, and all were defeated. On the other hand, Fang Lin, who no one had high hopes for, surprisingly surpassed all the others.

Li Zhendong was so furious that his liver hurt. He couldn’t bear to tear Fang Lin to pieces right then and there. For now, the sight of Fang Lin was too vexing for him, so he departed with his clan.

However, before Li Zhendong and his party got far, Fang Lin yelled from behind: “Just like that you go. Can you cure the poison in Li Shengming’s body?”

Upon hearing this, the Li Family members turned back in unison, their eyes filled with anger as they glared at Fang Lin. Even Li Zhendong could hardly contain himself, seemed like the boy was courting death?

Han Luoyun was surprised. However, she immediately stood up and went to Fang Lin’s side, subtly shielding him.

Fang Lin wore an innocent expression: “Without my antidote, you can’t cure the poison in Li Shengming. If this continues, he won’t survive a month.”

“What?” Upon hearing this, the Li Family members’ faces changed, although most of them regarded Fang Lin with suspicious eyes.

“Hmph, boy, you are underestimating my Li Family too much. A mere poison, my Li Family naturally has methods to resolve it.” Li Zhendong retorted coldly.

Fang Lin smirked: “I’m just afraid that you will be helpless when that time comes, and would have to come to Purple Mist Sect to beg me. That would be very bad.”

“This brat is too presumptuous!”

“Fang Lin, you are being outrageous!”

“This is ridiculous!”

Every member of the Li Family was infuriated by Fang Lin’s words. Aren’t you getting too above yourself? Our Li Family begging you? It’s simply a fanciful dream.

“Let’s go!” Li Zhendong did not want to entertain Fang Lin any longer. The more he saw him, the angrier he got. He turned around and left immediately.

Fang Lin shrugged, having nothing to say. He had kindly offered to give Li Shengming the antidote, but since they didn’t appreciate his offer, that was their problem.

“Can the Li Family really not solve your poison?” Han Luoyun asked.

Fang Lin had a serious expression: “Only I can solve this poison, no one else can.”

While saying this, Fang Lin’s face exhibited an obvious confidence.

Even though Fang Lin was not a Poison Pill Master, he was indeed an expert in creating and using poison. In his past life, even the most top-notch Poison Pill Master would not dare to be presumptuous before him.

The main difference between Fang Lin and a Poison Pill Master is that Fang Lin would not arbitrarily use poison to harm people, while a Poison Pill Master would not care about this, they liked to casually use poison, indiscriminately killing innocents, and often used deadly poisons to create great chaos.

Poison inherently doesn’t have any morality, it depends on who is using it.

With the departure of the Li Family members, the competition for the substitute spot in the Tri-Nation Competition declared its end. In the end, the substitute position naturally fell to Fang Lin.

Although some people still found it hard to accept, the fact remained unchanged, and they had to accept it whether they liked it or not.

That night, Han Luoyun and Fang Lin went to a banquet in the imperial city, relishing a feast of delicacies and meeting dignitaries of the Daqian dynasty.

Fang Lin sat there, savouring his food joyously. He didn’t care about his table manners, instantly grabbing anything that looked delicious, and ate heartily with glistening oil around his mouth.

Han Luoyun wanted to throw Fang Lin out several times due to his ungraceful eating habits. Wasn’t he just embarrassing them?

Yang Jianye, on the other hand, appreciated Fang Lin greatly. He thought Fang Lin was sincere and full of character, garnering his admiration.

A few members of the royalty were greatly displeased, particularly Yang Wanshan, who had been defeated by Fang Lin. He held a grudge against Fang Lin.

Later that night, after the banquet ended, Han Luoyun and Fang Lin decided to spend the night resting in the imperial city. They planned to leave the next day.

Fang Lin, full and idle, wandered around the imperial city. However, the imperial city was vast, and this was Fang Lin’s first visit. He walked and then got lost.

That’s right, the esteemed Pill Sovereign was lost.

Fang Lin, however, was unperturbed by being lost and decided to ask for directions when the time came.

“Who are you? How come I have never seen you before?” A woman’s voice suddenly rang from behind him as Fang Lin absent-mindedly walked to the peripheral of a remote palace.
