Ling Jiaxin smirked, her lips curled in a mocking smile. "Baili Hongzhuang really knows how to play the part. I want to see how she continues to act!"
The crowd fell into silence. It was clear that Cui Haoyan's injuries were so severe that only a master could cure him, and Baili Hongzhuang was far from being capable. They couldn't be convinced.
After a moment, Baili Hongzhuang released Cui Haoyan's pulse and took out a needle kit from her spatial ring, spreading it open beside the bed.
Different lengths and thicknesses of silver needles appeared in everyone's sight. Surprise filled their faces as they hadn't expected Baili Hongzhuang to actually have a needle kit.
Baili Hongzhuang glanced indifferently at Ling Jiaxin. She didn't know this woman, but ever since she appeared, Ling Jiaxin's eyes had been filled with disgust and hostility.
Feeling Baili Hongzhuang's gaze, Ling Jiaxin was momentarily stunned. It wasn't until Baili Hongzhuang shifted her gaze that she snapped back to reality, thinking to herself, Baili Hongzhuang's gaze is so sharp, as if she can see through my heart in an instant.
The surprise lasted only a moment before Ling Jiaxin's eyes once again filled with disgust. She had already heard from Liu Jingkun that Baili Hongzhuang dared to kill Yunyang's own sister. She was truly detestable!
"You, do you know acupuncture?" Huanchu's deep and profound eyes showed a hint of surprise. Baili Hongzhuang carrying a needle kit was the only explanation.
As far as he knew, those who mastered acupuncture were few and far between nowadays, let alone... someone as young as Baili Hongzhuang.
Both medical and alchemy skills required years of cultivation and understanding of medical principles before one could achieve mastery.
Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly in response to Huanchu's words. "The poison afflicting Cui Haoyan is extremely powerful. Acupuncture alone is not enough."
Huanchu's gaze fell on Baili Hongzhuang, his words containing a reminder.
"Vice Principal, rest assured, I know what I'm doing." Baili Hongzhuang's expression remained calm, and Huanchu's words didn't make her nervous in the slightest.
She had encountered the Green Python before and even extracted its venom. Detoxifying it now was naturally not a problem.
A trace of disdain flashed in Ling Jiaxin's eyes. She hadn't expected Baili Hongzhuang to be so arrogant, even daring to act so insolently in front of the vice principal.
"Baili Hongzhuang, don't tell me you're going to tell us that you know the art of trembling needles?" Ling Jiaxin's lips curved in a mocking smile. "Do you think we're all fools?"
Baili Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow, her gaze sharp and piercing, directly aimed at Ling Jiaxin.
Although she didn't know why this person despised her, since she was an enemy, that meant she was an enemy!
"Don't try to flatter yourself. Among all the people here, you're the only fool making a fuss."
Her cold and indifferent words were filled with disdain and impatience, as if even talking to Ling Jiaxin was a waste of time.
"Pfft." Dongfang Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the others couldn't hold back their smiles either, their lips twitching.
When they heard Baili Hongzhuang say not to flatter herself earlier, they were still a bit puzzled. It turned out she was saying that Ling Jiaxin herself was a fool and she wanted to include them all as fools too.
Xia Zhiqing had a smile on her face. Seeing Baili Hongzhuang's usual calm and composed demeanor, she hadn't expected her words to be so sharp.
