With that, the girl put down her wine glass and strode away.

Seeing this, Qi Silin did not stay there alone, but followed closely behind.

Zhu Luoxing looked at the bustling crowd, her brows furrowing involuntarily. Although this was not their home, He Qingfeng had a close relationship with them.

"Let's go take a look too."

Although it may not be of much help, it's never a bad thing to learn more about pharmacists, and you can even lend a hand.

Moreover, it seems that a pharmacist will definitely step in later.

Jiang Xin and Chu Cangyu nodded, and the others quickly followed.

Qi Jiu slowly made her way through the crowd and saw a group of people squatting on the ground, surrounding a middle-aged man who had already fainted.

She didn't go forward immediately, but instead observed something from the front row.

Besides doctors, pharmacists also treat the sick and save lives. I saw a middle-aged man lying on the ground in front of me. His wine glass was smashed on the ground and shattered. There were also many wine stains on his clothes.

It appears to be an unexpected situation.

As for the man's symptoms... the middle-aged man was twitching, his limbs looked stiff, his face was pale, and his lips were even slightly purple.

Around him were several prestigious Chinese doctors who were diagnosing him.

The situation looked extremely serious.

"Cough cough!"

But suddenly, the middle-aged man, who had been convulsing, widened his eyes, his features became contorted, and blood flowed from his mouth with a cough.

The coughing motion also splattered a lot of blood.

This instantly made the situation seem much more serious.

"What's going on?!"

Zhu Luoxing was stunned by the scene before her. She had never heard of any disease that had so many symptoms, let alone one that was so severe that it caused coughing up blood!

At this moment, Old Master He also put his cane aside and stood next to the middle-aged man, his face very ugly, as if he had encountered some troublesome matter.

We checked their pulse, complexion, pupils, and other observable features, but their expressions only worsened.

Many of the pharmacists nearby wore similar expressions.

Only Qi Jiu.

From an angle unseen by the others, her eyes were slightly narrowed, her brows furrowed slightly, and although her expression was somewhat unpleasant, it was different from the expressions of the other pharmacists.

"Qiqi?"

Qi Silin looked down at the girl's focused expression and gently tugged at her sleeve.

"It's poison."

The girl didn't look up, but spoke softly.

"What?" Qi Silin was taken aback.

Qi Jiu's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it was drowned out by the surrounding noise. Even so, he could still hear part of it.

Poison? Is it the poison he's thinking of?

This time, the girl looked up and met Qi Silin's gaze, without the slightest hint of jest.

"It's poison. That person isn't sick; they've been poisoned."

The people here are all pharmacists who have a deep understanding of diseases and can even prepare medicines on the spot in case of emergencies.

However, she was certain that no one here knew more about drugs than she did.

It's said that they are skilled in both medicine and poison, but the difference between a pharmacist and a poison master, though only one word, is vastly different in their areas of expertise. They may understand the properties of medicine, but they may not know how to use it.

Qi Silin was stunned, a look of surprise in his eyes, and he hesitated to speak as he looked at her expression.

But in the end, he swallowed the irrelevant question that was on the tip of his tongue, "Is it tricky?"

The girl pursed her lips. "It's alright. It might be difficult for others, but for me... it's not difficult."

This is why she was the first to discover it, but not the first to point it out. If the poison wasn't instantly fatal, things would be much easier to handle.

There's another reason: these are all renowned pharmacists. Would they really trust a freshman?

The answer should be no.

Moreover, Poison Master is despised by the Chinese people, so making such a rash statement would likely cause a lot of controversy.

But now, whether you believe it or not, you have to take action, otherwise this man might really die here.

Thinking about all this, Qi Jiu sighed, seemingly feeling somewhat tired.

It seems that some verbal sparring is inevitable in the future.

Old Master He's expression grew increasingly solemn, as did the pharmacist beside him.

For a moment, they seemed at a loss for what to do.

Standing behind Old Master He, He Qingfeng looked at the troublesome person in front of him, someone even his own grandfather, a pharmacist, couldn't handle, and his expression grew increasingly serious.

If something goes wrong, the He family's reputation will be ruined...

Qi Silin nodded, seeing the affirmation on her face.

"Okay, then go ahead."

Qi Jiu looked at him and nodded. She would definitely go, but it would be a bit troublesome.

"Ah Lin, please prepare some water for me."

The man paused, then nodded knowingly. "You need an antidote? I'll go right away!"

The girl shook her head. "No, I'll drink it myself instead of wasting my breath."

Qi Silin: "..."

Just as a group of pharmacists were racking their brains, Qi Jiu walked out from the crowd and, to everyone's surprise, squatted down next to Grandpa He.

"Qiqi?"

Grandpa He seemed surprised to see Qi Jiu at this time; his face remained as serious as ever, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Qi Jiu looked at him, then at the cane that had been thrown aside in the emergency, and pursed her lips.

"Grandpa He, is it possible that this person isn't having an episode of illness, but has been poisoned?"

The girl's words successfully caused an uproar in the crowd.

When Mr. He heard this, he was taken aback. He didn't answer immediately. He was stunned for a moment, and then he fell into deep thought.

The older pharmacists nearby looked at Qi Jiu with disdain.

"Where did you come from, little brat? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. This could kill someone! How can a drug dealer survive in this country?"

"Exactly! How dare they show up and cause trouble in a situation like this!"

Clearly, the pharmacists beside her didn't believe Qi Jiu's words at all, but she didn't seem to expect them to believe her either, her dark eyes fixed on Old Master He.

Seeing that Qi Jiu had no intention of leaving, the pharmacists nearby were even more agitated than before.

"You brat, why aren't you going back?! How long are you going to cause trouble here? If you delay us, can you take responsibility for a life?"

"Young lady, this is the He family's seminar. I know you're eager to make a name for yourself here, but this is not the time for you to act recklessly. This is a matter of life and death!"

Seeing that several authoritative pharmacists were speaking in this way, the people around seemed to be led astray by them.
