If her concealment caused the medicine boy to take the wrong medicine, she would be the one to bear the consequences.

"Your guess is quite right. I bought this knockout drug for our boss to carry with him so he can use it for self-defense. After all, you know, although this martial arts conference is a grand event, there might be some dangers."

Ruyi explained, as if trying to justify buying the knockout drug. The medicine boy seemed to be used to it.

"Miss, there's no need to explain too much. I know what you're thinking."

After saying that, the medicine boy gestured to Ruyi to follow him to the backyard.

After the two entered the backyard, the medicine boy turned around and said to Ruyi with a serious expression, "Young lady, please don't be so careless when you are out in the future. If you are discovered by someone with ulterior motives, you will be in danger."

?Hearing what the medicine boy said, Ruyi widened her eyes, completely unaware of why he said this to her.

?But before she could react, she saw a middle-aged man sitting on a small table in the backyard grinding medicine powder.

When the man saw Yaotong and Ruyi coming in, he just looked up at them and continued to grind the medicine powder in his hand without saying a word.

?Then, the medicine boy sighed softly and walked to the middle-aged man with Ruyi.

"Master, this girl just came to buy some medicine powder. She said she wanted to buy some knockout potion."

?After hearing what the medicine boy said, the middle-aged man stopped what he was doing.

"Who introduced you?"

?The middle-aged man raised his head and stared at Ruyi with his eyes like hooks, which made Ruyi get goose bumps all over her body.

?Just when she was panicking, the medicine boy stood beside Ruyi and gently shook his arm, as if to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, young lady. My master has this kind of temper and personality. He treats everyone the same."

Then, he turned to the middle-aged man and said, "Master, she's just a little girl, don't scare her. I brought her here because I felt we had a connection."

"Oh, do you think she's destined to be with you?"

After hearing what the medicine boy said, the middle-aged man finally put away the horrified expression on his face, and the lines on his face softened instantly.

?Seeing the middle-aged man like this, the medicine boy let out a long sigh.

"Yes, Master, you see she's trembling with fear."

?After saying that, the medicine boy turned around and smiled sweetly at Ruyi again.

"Girl, don't be afraid. Come sit down and talk."

?He pulled Ruyi to the stone bench, sat down and then explained to Ruyi.

?It turned out that this middle-aged man was the medicine boy’s master, and this medicine shop was also opened by this middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's original experience was very bizarre, and the medicine boy also mentioned it in passing, but only told Ruyi that his master was very powerful, and now he came to this small town to open a medicine shop, just to live a peaceful life.

?He has been learning pharmacology from his master since he was young. Although the pharmacy is not big, the two of them manage it very well.

?When Ruyi entered the shop, the medicine boy felt that Ruyi was very friendly and had a special affinity with him at the first sight of her.

?That's why he brought Ruyi to this backyard.

"But I just wanted to buy some knockout drugs. Why did you bring me here to see your master?"

Ruyi frowned slightly, not understanding the medicine boy's intention.

?When he heard what he said, the middle-aged man next to him suddenly laughed softly.

"I was wondering why Lan Ke was so different today. He said he looked at this girl with great affection. And it really is true."

?Then, the middle-aged man turned his head, looked at Ruyi carefully again, and nodded with satisfaction.

"This little girl is really lovable."

?The way he looked at Ruyi suddenly became a little different from before, and he got goosebumps all over his body again.

?Seeing that the middle-aged man was so satisfied with Ruyi, the medicine boy named Lan Ke instantly stood in front of Ruyi.

"Master, please stop having these random thoughts."

?Then he pulled Ruyi aside and continued talking to her.

?His master's surname is Qi Mingyun. Although his appearance looks very shocking, he is a very nice person.

?The reason why Lan Ke pulled Ruyi to the backyard was entirely because Ruyi was not paying attention when talking in the front yard before.

Seeing Ruyi looking at him with a puzzled expression, Lan Ke continued, "The world isn't peaceful these days. You're brazenly coming to our pharmacy to buy knockout drugs. If others hear about it, they might report you to the authorities and you'll end up in jail."

?When Ruyi heard Lan Ke’s words, her eyes widened in surprise.

Qi Yun, who was standing by, also echoed, "I was wondering why Lan Ke brought a little girl like you to the backyard. It turns out you're so careless with your words. He was really afraid that he'd have to watch you die before he even made friends with you."

?It was not until then that Ruyi realized that what she had just said to Lan Ke in the front yard was not done with due consideration of the consequences.

?Originally, she thought that in ancient times, any medicine could be bought in a pharmacy.

?However, I didn’t expect that this knockout drug was not completely open to the public, and even its sale was strictly controlled.

Ruyi sighed slightly, thinking of the TV dramas she had watched before, where every female hero carried knockout drugs with her. She thought that knockout drugs were available for anyone to buy.

?It was not until this moment that she felt a surge of fear in her heart.

?Fortunately, I saw this pharmacy not long after walking on this street.

If I still can't find it, I might have to grab a passerby and ask where I can buy the knockout drug.

?If I really get to that point, wouldn’t I be taken away and reported to the authorities as Lan Ke said?

?I don’t know how miserable it would be if I died in prison.

?Thinking of this, Ruyi looked at Lan Ke in front of her with gratitude.

?But just as she was about to express her gratitude, she was immediately stopped by Lan Ke.

"Girl, don't be so excited. Luckily, I heard what you said, not others. I also think we are destined to be together. Why don't we just be friends?"

?After hearing this, Ruyi immediately nodded excitedly.

?Finally, Lan Ke gave her another explosive piece of news.

"Didn't the girl say before that she wanted a knockout drug? What kind of knockout drug do you want?"
