It was just a pity that at this moment, Bibi Dong did not notice this at all; she was still feeling fortunate.
She felt fortunate that the excuse she had come up with had persuaded Qian Xunji, and fortunate that she still had a chance.
However, this sense of relief did not last long, because very soon, Qian Xunji spoke again.
And this time, it didn't matter if he didn't speak, but once he did, he plunged Bibi Dong directly into the abyss.
"Using your full strength in a spar means you respect me; I'll tentatively believe that explanation. But why was there poison mixed into the medicine I drank earlier? Little Dong'er, how do you explain this?"
As he spoke, the smile at the corner of Qian Xunji's mouth became increasingly playful.
Once these words were out, Bibi Dong, who was still rejoicing that Qian Xunji had believed her nonsense, felt a jolt run through her entire body, and she looked at Qian Xunji in disbelief.
How could this be? The poison she put in the medicinal meal was clearly colorless and odorless, and its concealment was extremely strong; it was difficult to detect with ordinary means! Why did her teacher know?
Could someone have tipped him off?
But that didn't seem right either; she hadn't told anyone about her plan to poison and harm her teacher!
Wait? Could it be that she had revealed a flaw while feeding him the medicine?
Thinking that she was just a fledgling actress whose acting skills were quite green, Bibi Dong felt that this guess was very likely.
So, had her teacher seen through the clues from her clumsy performance, which was why he had struck her so hard during the spar?
Or perhaps, he just saw that something was wrong but had no evidence, so he was simply trying to bluff her?
As for which one it was, she would know if she tested him.
In any case, she had no way out.
Thinking this, Bibi Dong's heart stirred, and she had an idea.
"Teacher, what are you talking about? Poison in the medicine? Why does your disciple not understand what you are saying at all!"
Bibi Dong looked at Qian Xunji with a face full of confusion, her eyes filled with astonishment, bewilderment, and the grievance of being wrongly accused, as if she really knew nothing.
If it weren't for the fact that Omniscient and Almighty Li Daxian had "kindly" tested the medicine with his own life, Qian Xunji might have actually believed her nonsense; after all, he had no hard evidence!
It was just a pity that with a scapegoat like Omniscient and Almighty Li Daxian, there was no way Qian Xunji could believe that nothing else had been added to that bowl of medicinal soup.
After all, as the price for testing the medicine, Omniscient and Almighty Li Daxian had already reported to the Underworld!
Thinking of that person's tragic end, and then thinking that if the other party hadn't blocked the disaster, the one with the tragic end would have been himself, Qian Xunji immediately lost the desire to continue pretending with Bibi Dong and said unceremoniously, "Enough, no need to quibble. Do you think I would ask you this if I didn't have evidence?"
Having said that, without waiting for Bibi Dong to continue arguing, Qian Xunji dropped another line, "But I didn't expect that you would actually want to kill me, your teacher, for the sake of that trash Yu Xiaogang! It seems I have been too indulgent with you! Indulgent to the point where you have become ungrateful!"
As he spoke, Qian Xunji grabbed Bibi Dong by the chin, his eyes filled with coldness.
"Xiaogang is not trash!"
Bibi Dong shook her head violently, shaking off his restraint.
At the same time, she did not forget to argue for her "lover."
If it were before, she would have been afraid to speak up for her lover at will because she feared Qian Xunji.
After all, doing so would not only easily make Qian Xunji fly into a rage, but it would also implicate her lover—Yu Xiaogang.
But now that her schemes had been completely exposed and she had completely torn off the mask with Qian Xunji, she didn't care what the consequences of doing so would be!
After all, it couldn't get any worse than this!

# Volume Two
====================
"He's not trash? Heh, if he isn't, then who is!"
Hearing Bibi Dong's defense, Qian Xunji sneered incessantly.
"Yu Xiaogang, the famous trash of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! A perfectly good Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon mutated martial soul, and a benign one at that, yet he was so useless that the mutation failed and it became Luo Sanpao! Doesn't that prove he's trash?"
"And that nonsense about 'there are no trash martial souls, only trash soul masters'—tsk, the way he insults himself is truly fresh and refined!"
"As for his so-called theories, they are even more ridiculous! A piece of trash who can neither write nor fight, and who can never break through level thirty in his life—what does he have to research, and what could he possibly research? It would be impressive enough if he didn't get caught by those soul beasts. Furthermore, there aren't that many people giving him things to research!"
"When it comes down to it, isn't it all because you stole soul beast classics from Martial Soul Hall and took materials from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Otherwise, where would he get the resources!"
When he said this, Qian Xunji paused, and the mockery at the corner of his mouth grew even richer, "Yet, even with you and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind him, he still couldn't research anything useful!"
"The theories he came up with are all common sense, the kind that anyone with some influence could figure out after a few experiments!"
