The uncles looked at Shangguan Xuelan with contempt. They were sure that Shangguan Qing was the most outstanding person they had ever met among their peers. Why was Shangguan Xuelan still acting like a big shot?

However, they were also happy to see Shangguan Xuelan make a fool of herself. After all, the old master doted on her so much. Ultimately, he discovered she was a fool who liked to show off. Perhaps he would put away his last bit of love.

Just as they were cursing in their hearts, a shocking scene happened.

Shangguan Xuelan did not follow the usual method of acupuncture. Instead, she casually picked up and threw the needles into her acupoints. All kinds of gold needles were inserted into the acupoints.

Her speed was so fast that the naked eye could not see her movements. They could only watch as the golden needles covered the ground.

In less than 25 minutes, all the acupuncture points had been applied. She clapped her hands casually and moved her wrists. She waved at her grandfather and said, “Grandpa, I’m done. Come and take a look!”

The older man’s expression was delighted. He nodded when he walked over and saw the data on the human body. “Not bad. You’ve improved a little since last time.”

The few uncles kept rubbing their eyes and almost thought they had misread the data. The human body was marked: Accuracy: 97%; Acupuncture time: 23 minutes; Overall score: 98.

This was not the scariest part. The terrifying thing was that the strength of Shangguan Xuelan’s acupuncture points was less than 1% different from each other.

“How, how is this possible?” Shangguan Qing could not believe it when he saw the data. How could Shangguan Xuelan’s talent reach such a level? She was only 19 years old!

“Grandpa, give me the golden toad. I’m leaving.”

Hearing Shangguan Xuelan’s impatient voice, the old man looked at the butler beside him and said, “Take her to it. 1 won’t keep her for dinner.”

Shangguan Xuelan smiled and waved her hand.” Alright! Goodbye, Grandpa.”

After the two of them disappeared from the room, the old man sat on the rattan chair at the side and slowly sipped his tea.” Now you’re convinced, right?”

Shangguan Qing slumped to the side. His confidence had been crushed, and now he was as weak as a pile of mud.

The few uncles did not know how to describe the shock in their hearts. “Shangguan, is our Shangguan family going to rise again?” Shangguan Qing’s second uncle mumbled to himself.

When the old master saw their shocked expressions, he could not help but sneer, “Do you know why I agreed to let Shangguan Xuelan’s father move to Rainbow City? When she was 16 years old, she could already perform all ten sets of acupuncture techniques of the Shangguan family.”

“You guys have underestimated her! I hope you will remember that regardless of whether you are from the main or branch family, I treat you all equally here.”

“Don’t think I don’t know that you tormented her father previously.”

These words were like a mountain weighing down on everyone’s hearts. Shangguan Qing’s teeth were chattering. He finally understood why his father had been urging him to keep practicing and why he hated Shangguan Xuelan so much.

His father had long known how big the difference between him and Shangguan Xuelan was. He could not help but fall to the ground and cry at this thought.

Shangguan Xuelan could not care less about the reactions of the other members of the Shangguan family. She took the small wooden box and asked Uncle Liu to send her directly to the airport. She bought the latest flight and flew back to Rainbow City.

When she rushed to the hospital, it was already evening. This trip had wasted her entire afternoon.

She opened the door and entered the ward to witness a heartwarming scene. Han Xing was saying something to Han Yanran and peeling an apple in his hand. Han Yanran’s face had a faint smile.

“Miss Shangguan, you’re here!” Han Yanran saw Shangguan Xuelan and greeted her happily. Her brother had already told her that if it were not for Miss Shangguan, she would not have lived until now.

“Hello, Miss Han. I’m here to check on your condition.” Shangguan Xuelan gave Han Xing a look, and Han Xing immediately understood. He got up and looked at Han Yanran gently.

“Sister, Miss Shangguan needs a sample of your blood. 1’11 go get a test tube to draw your blood.”

Han Yanran nodded and watched Han Xing leave. She carefully looked at Shangguan Xuelan and asked, “Miss Shangguan, can you tell me how long I can live?”

Her words shocked Shangguan Xuelan, but she still said thoughtfully, “If we can find out your condition and find a solution, you’ll be fine.”

“What if we can’t?” Han Yanran’s eyes were filled with tears. “I was already prepared to die, but Han Xing was the only one 1 couldn’t let go of.”

“There’s still a month left.”

Hearing Shangguan Xuelan’s reply, Han Yanran slowly let out a breath. “Thank you, Miss Shangguan. Please keep it a secret.”

Shangguan Xuelan nodded and said, “Your brother is trying to save you. I hope you won’t give up.”

After Han Xing arrived, he carefully collected a few drops of blood and left with Shangguan Xuelan.

Shangguan Xuelan opened the small wooden box in her hand and saw a palm-sized golden toad. It retained its original appearance. Han Xing thought it would have jumped up if it existed for the golden toad’s closed eyes.

She dripped the blood in her hand onto the golden toad’s tongue. With a sizzling sound, the golden toad turned blood-red in an instant.

After a few seconds, the red color showed no signs of fading. Instead, it became darker. In the end, drop after drop of blood flowed from the golden toad.

Shangguan Xuelan’s expression changed. She exclaimed, “She’s been poisoned!”

Han Xing’s heart skipped a beat. He suppressed his frantic heartbeat and asked, “What kind of poison is it? Is it serious?”

“It’s the top ten most vicious poison. I’ve only heard about it from an ancient book. Didn’t think it was real,” said Shangguan Xuelan as she looked at the golden toad slowly fading in redness. Her hand that was holding the small wooden box was trembling slightly.

This witchcraft poison was too strange. This was also her first time testing poison.

Han Xing’s mind was in a mess. When he heard the type of poison, he knew how difficult it was to solve this problem. He did not know who was behind this.

“Don’t worry too much. Once we’ve confirmed that it’s witchcraft poison, many ways exist to suppress its effects. I’ll go and concoct some medicine to keep your sister alive.”

Shangguan Xuelan’s words of comfort relaxed Han Xing slightly. Now, not only did he have to solve the guild war problem, but he also had to find out who planted the poison..
