The medical team immediately came over to examine every guest.
Fortunately, it had only been a false alarm. Xiao Jingxi hadn't served the guests any of the tea he'd boiled with desiccant.
It was also lucky that Xie Mi had arrived in time. Otherwise, everyone really would have ended up in the hospital.
Everyone felt a lingering chill of fear. Director Niu, especially, clasped Xie Mi's hand in excitement, overflowing with gratitude.
"Teacher Wild Woman... ah, no, Teacher Xie! My heart is full of gratitude. Thank you for being here!"
Xie Mi nodded solemnly.
"As you should be."

She simply let it go, sat down, and started eating dried fruit.
Qiu Chengye, meanwhile, looked terrified in hindsight and insistently demanded that the team doctor examine him several more times, afraid something might be wrong with his body.

Xie Mi crunched away even more enthusiastically, her moist eyes looking especially wise
