To avoid raising any suspicion and causing unnecessary concern, Bian Suwen composed herself and entered the villa’s hall, masking her anxious expression. However, after a quick glance around the hall, she realized her worries were groundless.

Her fifth sister, Liu Yue, sixth sister, Ji Shuiyao, and seventh sister, Qiu Qianwei, were all immersed in their phones, chatting and occasionally giggling, which seemed rather unusual.

This scene surprised Bian Suwen. In her recollection, Liu Yue would typically be checking stock market news during her free time, Ji Shuiyao would be engrossed in a book, and Qiu Qianwei would usually be in the music room playing the piano. Yet now, all three were absorbed in their phone conversations.

Naturally, Bian Suwen found this strange, but she soon recalled their conversation from the previous night, which made her understand a bit more.

Liu Yue had an online boyfriend, Ji Shuiyao had a secret crush, and Qiu Qianwei was in a passionate relationship. These romantic entanglements were likely the reason for their unusual behavior.

As someone who had experienced similar emotions, Bian Suwen could empathize, though she didn’t entirely approve. She resolved to advise her sisters not to become too engrossed in these relationships, lest they end up heartbroken.

However, at the moment, Bian Suwen was preoccupied with the situation involving the Poison Sect and Shao Wanwan, so she didn’t start lecturing them immediately.

She simply said, “Fifth sister, sixth sister, seventh sister, if any poisoning incidents occur around you recently, please inform me immediately.”

Her words seemed to fall on deaf ears as Liu Yue, Ji Shuiyao, and Qiu Qianwei remained absorbed in their phones.

Bian Suwen felt a bit frustrated. Were they so engrossed in chatting with their boyfriends that they didn’t even hear their third sister speaking?

In her annoyance, she confiscated their phones and repeated her earlier message.

“Got it.”

“Understood.”

“Received.”

Each of them replied briefly, then quickly retrieved their phones from Bian Suwen and resumed their conversations.

Bian Suwen shook her head and returned to her room. She tossed and turned all night, only falling asleep around three or four in the morning.

When Bian Suwen woke up, it was already bright outside, and the time was ten in the morning.

Her phone buzzed with an incoming call from her seventh sister, Qiu Qianwei.

Answering the call, she heard Qiu Qianwei’s hurried voice, “Third sister, a few students here were perfectly fine in class but suddenly turned pale and fainted. They’ve just been taken to the hospital by ambulance. Do you want to come and take a look?”

Upon hearing this, Bian Suwen felt a surge of alarm, and her concerns deepened.

In past contests between the Poison Sect and the Medicine Immortal Valley, the Poison Sect would choose targets that the Medicine Immortal Valley could reach. This was why Bian Suwen had specifically warned her sisters the previous night.

However, she hadn’t expected the Poison Sect to act so quickly. They had issued a challenge last night, and by this morning, Shao Wanwan was already making her move. Was she that eager and confident of victory?

Bian Suwen’s mind raced with thoughts before she replied, “Send me the address, and I’ll be there right away.”

After the brief conversation, Bian Suwen quickly prepared herself and headed out.

Before long, she arrived at a hospital and gathered some information about the situation.

Three people had been poisoned: two male and one female student from the Qingling Music Department. The hospital had already conducted examinations and diagnosed them with poisoning. However, they had no clue about the type of poison, so they refrained from administering any treatment to avoid worsening the situation.

At that moment, a group of doctors was in a meeting discussing the case.

Bian Suwen went directly to the meeting room, introduced herself, and offered to handle the treatment.

Given Bian Suwen’s renowned reputation, the hospital was more than willing to let her take over.

Having successfully taken charge, Bian Suwen felt a slight relief and proceeded to examine the three poisoned students.

She wasn’t worried about their safety. They were merely tools for the contest or, rather, the unfortunate ones randomly chosen by the Poison Sect.

In previous contests between the Poison Sect and the Medicine Immortal Valley, there had been such unfortunate individuals. However, despite their misfortune, they were never in any real danger.

If the Medicine Immortal Valley won, the poison would be cured, and they would be fine. If the Poison Sect won, they would provide the antidote.

This wasn’t out of kindness but to ensure fairness. Some potent poisons acted quickly, leaving no time for rescue. To ensure a fair contest, the Poison Sect couldn’t use such poisons and had to provide an antidote to prove that the poison could be cured, and it was the Medicine Immortal Valley’s lack of skill that failed to save them.

Bian Suwen entered the intensive care unit and examined the three poisoned students, her frown deepening.

As a long-standing adversary of the Poison Sect, Bian Suwen had studied their poisons extensively. However, the poison affecting these three was unlike anything she had encountered.

The poison was extremely potent yet temporarily balanced. This balance could be disrupted by any external factor, such as medication.

In other words, without understanding the poison’s true nature, administering any treatment could worsen the symptoms or even be fatal.

Bian Suwen knew enough about the Poison Sect to realize that such a peculiar poison, which left her clueless, couldn’t have been developed in a short time. It was likely a poison the Poison Sect had been working on for a long time or one they had previously developed but only recently decided to use.

Regardless of the case, Bian Suwen’s limited knowledge of past events due to her age left her at a disadvantage.

With this in mind, Bian Suwen temporarily left the hospital.

In Qingling, there was another member of the Medicine Immortal Valley, her senior nephew by rank, though much older than her.

He had a deeper understanding of the Poison Sect’s history and might recognize the poison.

This senior nephew was none other than Yan Wangdi, Xue Shenyi.

Bian Suwen had come to Qingling to resolve this senior nephew’s troubles. She hadn’t expected the Poison Sect to follow and issue a challenge.

Judging by the condition of the three poisoned individuals, as long as no rash treatments were administered, they would be fine for two days.

During this time, Bian Suwen planned to rescue her senior nephew as quickly as possible.
