My disciple, you are now invincible. Go down the mountain and wreak havoc on the world!

Ye Xun was delighted by Professor Wang's words from the expert panel.

He didn't know if his medical skills had surpassed his mother's, "Yao Ning Shuang."

But Professor Wang's words were practically a compliment to him.

He strolled leisurely over to Expert Wang, a head taller than him, a lollipop dangling from his lips. He bowed slightly, his eyes gleaming with a roguish mockery.

"Oh? That Ye Xunhuan guy is that powerful?"

"Then tell me, what two kinds of cold and yin toxins are mixed into this Ten Thousand Poisons Powder?"

Expert Wang was taken aback and stammered for a long time before he could speak.

"Can't say it now, huh?" Ye Xunhuan sneered, pointing towards the corridor.

"There's a row of poisoned people lying in the corridor outside. You've been here for ages, why haven't you gone to save them?"

"Coming here to show off and put on airs? So all you experts are good for is just talking?"

"You! What nonsense are you spouting!" Expert Wang's face flushed red with anger. "We need to understand the severity of the illness first!"

"After all that research, all you've got is 'prepare for your funeral'?" Ye Xunhuan shrugged, his tone smug.

"Is this all you've got? Your expert certificate is less useful than a candy wrapper; at least a candy wrapper can hold candy."

"you--!"

Just as Dr. Wang was about to have an outburst, Ye Xunhuan casually took out a silver needle from his needle pouch, flicked it with his fingertip, and the silver needle flew out with a "whoosh," accurately piercing the leg of an intern nurse who was about to convulse at the door.

The nurse was about to fall to the ground, but after being pricked by the needle, her trembling stopped instantly. She took a couple of breaths and actually managed to stand up.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Ye Xunhuan, with a candy in his mouth, and Chong Wang, the expert, raised an eyebrow:

"See? Saving people is that simple."

"If you don't know how, just stand aside and watch. Don't talk nonsense and affect my performance."

Expert Wang opened his mouth, his face turning red and white in turns, but he couldn't utter a single word.

The experts behind him also lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Just then, Su Qingyuan's office cell phone, which was on the table, suddenly rang.

The number is unfamiliar, and its origin is unknown.

Su Qingyuan answered the phone, and as soon as she said "feed," a hoarse voice came from the other end, sending chills down her spine.

"Let Ye Xunhuan answer the phone."

Su Qingyuan's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked at Ye Xunhuan.

Ye Xunhuan raised an eyebrow, reached out and took the phone, and spoke lazily.

"Ye Xunhuan," the voice on the other end said with a strange laugh, "Twenty years have passed, and the remnants of Medicine King Valley have finally shown their faces."

"Your mother, Yao Ningshuang, hid in a secret room with the 'Medicine King's Scripture' back then, preferring to be burned to death rather than hand it over. She was incredibly stubborn."

As Ye Xunhuan listened to the voice on the microphone, the smile on his face gradually faded.

He tightened his grip slightly, squeezing the plastic candy stick until it made a "crunching" sound.

"I'll give you three days." The Silver-Masked Pavilion Master's voice was sinister, as if it were poisoned.

"Three days later, deliver the Medicine King Scripture to the Youge stronghold."

"Otherwise... the entire population of Jiangcheng, numbering one million, will be buried with your mother."

"By the way," he changed the subject, his tone laced with malicious mockery.

"That little girl from the Su family is quite pretty. If you don't behave, I'll start with her. I'll chop off her fingers one by one until you hand over the scriptures."

"Click—"

A crisp cracking sound rang out.

Ye Xunhuan crushed the lollipop stick in his hand into powder.

The temperature in the ward seemed to drop to freezing point instantly.

He, who had been so nonchalant just moments before, now exuded a chilling aura that even made Su Qingyuan, who was standing next to him, shiver.

But when he spoke, his tone still carried a hint of nonchalant roguishness, only his voice was as cold as ice.

"Okay, three days, right?"

"You wait, I will personally deliver the Medicine King's Scripture over there."

"I'm just afraid you might have the life to take it, but not the life to keep it."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and casually tossed it back to Su Qingyuan.

Seeing her face turn pale, he instantly switched back to his nonchalant demeanor, reaching out to ruffle her hair, his tone flippant:

"Don't be afraid. If he dares to touch a single hair on your head, I'll break his bones and use them as lollipop sticks for you."

The ward was completely silent.

Master of Youge Pavilion, three days' notice: the entire city will be buried alive with you…

These words felt like a massive boulder, pressing down on everyone and making it hard for them to breathe.

The expressions of the several prominent families who followed the expert team in changed instantly.

Those who had just been feigning concern and offering words of comfort are now backing away.

To sever ties with the Su family.

"President Su, it's not that we're being disloyal, it's just that we can't afford to offend Youge!"

"Exactly! Why should the entire city be dragged down with your Su family's grudges?"

"I think we should just hand over the scriptures!"

"From this day forward, our Li family has no further connection with the Su family! Don't drag us into this!"

He's a fence-sitter who turns on people faster than anyone else. Just a moment ago he was calling him "Chairman Su," but now he wants to sever all ties with the Su family.

Su Qingyuan was trembling with anger. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Ye Xunhuan take a step forward.

He was chewing on a freshly opened strawberry-flavored lollipop.

He slowly swept his gaze over the representatives of those powerful families, his eyes devoid of emotion, yet the sight sent chills down their spines, causing them to instinctively shut their mouths.

"Are you done talking?"

Ye Xunhuan chuckled lightly, his tone light and airy, yet carrying a chilling ruthlessness.

"Get out of here now, or you might save your life."

"Say one more word and your family will disappear from Jiangcheng tomorrow."

The moment he finished speaking, he flicked the half-eaten candy stick between his fingers.

With a "whoosh," the candy stick grazed the ear of the man in front and "thud" embedded itself in the wall in front of him, penetrating half an inch deep.

The man was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground with a thud, his crotch soaked.

The remaining few people turned green with fright and scrambled to get out, afraid that if they were even a step too slow, their heads would be pierced through the wall with candy sticks.

The expert team also backed down.

Expert Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead, his tone softening: "Um... Mr. Ye, this poison... our provincial expert team really can't do anything about it."

"Youge is ruthless. We...we should go back and report the situation first."

To put it bluntly, it's about running away and shirking responsibility.

The group arrived quickly and left even faster. In less than two minutes, only Ye Xunhuan, Su Qingyuan, and Yao Chen remained in the ward.

Yao Chen sighed, his face full of worry: "Xun Huan, what should we do?"

"With the Pavilion Master personally taking action, the Myriad Poisons Powder has been spread throughout the city, and there's no Ice Soul Lotus..."

"Three days is simply not enough!"

Ye Xunhuan remained silent.

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down.

On the streets of Jiangcheng, the red and blue lights of ambulances flashed everywhere.

The sirens blared incessantly, forming a winding river of light.

The once bustling city now seems to have been thrown into a state of panic.

He pinched the remaining half of the lollipop between his fingertips and put it in his mouth.

"Crack—"

With a crisp snap, the candy was crushed to pieces by his bite.

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his backlit profile obscuring his expression. Only his smirk, a laugh tinged with a roguish yet ruthless tone, echoed in the quiet ward.

"Playing this big?"

"Okay, let's have some fun then."
