After all, the reason they met was because Miss Lin saved his mother's life!

At that time, he was just a young master who had just arrived and knew nothing about his responsibilities. When he saw Miss Lin, he pushed her aside!

Instead of complaining, Miss Lin passed on her life-saving method to the old doctor, with the aim of saving more people!

A ruler like this is the one who truly puts the interests of the people first!

Thinking of this, his steps forward became even more determined!

Lin Ru never expected that he would be the first to step forward from this group! After all, he was only focused on finding a wise ruler, and he had only gotten this far because she had fooled him!

After thinking for a moment, she finally poured out a Loyalty Pill and handed it over!

Ji Wenxuan knew that Lin Ru had many strange medicines in her hand, and he really thought that the one in his hand was poison, but he still resolutely tilted his head back and swallowed it!

Wu Ling, who was standing nearby, had already noticed something unusual. The medicine given to them and the medicine given to Ji Wenxuan were not poured from the same porcelain bottle, and the color and taste of the medicine were quite different!

The martial arts people who had finished taking the pills also noticed something was wrong. What was wrong was that after taking the pills, they always felt a heat inside their bodies, as if a huge ball of energy was gathering in their dantian and about to explode!

Lin Ru didn't know what would happen after taking the advancement pill. When she looked over, the faces of the martial clan members present were already flushed red, and large beads of sweat began to fall from their foreheads!

They just stood by silently and endured it all!

Lin Ru quickly waved to Wu Ling, signaling him to take all the people who had finished taking their medicine away and into another room to wait for her.

Wu Ling also felt the strange sensation in his body, but he had a higher tolerance for pain than others, so he remained expressionless!

As he led the people out one by one, they stumbled a couple of steps as soon as they stepped out the door! Some of them, unable to bear the pain, were already groaning!

Finally, the group endured the physical discomfort and helped each other out!

However, as they were leaving, some sharp-eyed people noticed that they were covered in sweat and their faces were flushed!

Even from a slightly greater distance, you could still hear their cries of pain!

The people inside the room were trembling with fear. They had initially thought it was poison and that it was something they couldn't give them, but now it seemed that the girl was indeed ruthless, poisoning such loyal people!

They had originally planned to slip through the cracks and eat someone to show their loyalty, but they all backed down!

The person who stood up next was even more unexpected for Lin Ru!

It turned out to be Hai Jingming, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, and Qi Duwei!

The two of them stood up together!

Hai Jingming, still smiling, teased, "Commander Qi! You're such a coward! I thought you'd be the first to step forward! I was going to let you have it, but you've waited so long and still don't have the guts to step forward! I guess I'll have to get up early to show my loyalty!"

Commandant Qi glared at him irritably!

"Jing Haiming! If you can't speak properly, then don't speak!"

After saying that, he stepped forward, took a pill, and swallowed it!

Not to be outdone, Hai Jingming stepped forward, took the pill, and swallowed it!

Next to stand up was the matchmaker who had been speaking up for her!

Then came Ma Minghao, Bian Du, Meng Jiang, and Zhang Tiedan!

There was also Ning Gui, who was a general under Prince Shun!

Wait until he finishes eating!

Lin Ru then stopped distributing the Loyalty Pills!

She only had 20 in total, and this time she handed out nine of them at once!

We need to use the remaining 11 sparingly!

"Alright! That's all for now!"

"Those who have finished taking their medicine, come with me to another room. I'll give you the antidote! The rest of you, just wait here!"

After saying that, she led her people away, leaving the rest of them whispering among themselves!

When Lin Ru led the people inside, they discovered that all the Wu clan members, except for Wu Ling, had disappeared!

Wu Ling said somewhat embarrassedly, "Their internal energy is a bit chaotic, so I told them to go back and regulate it as soon as possible!"

Lin Ru looked at Wu Ling's handsome face, and she saw beads of sweat starting to appear on his forehead!

She smiled and patted his shoulder!

"You should go down too! I feel like you're not feeling well either! Go back and rest a bit before coming back. I can handle things on my own!"

"That's right! Tell them not to concentrate their internal energy in one place, but to try to open up their meridians by following the flow of internal energy!"

"Perhaps we'll have a different outcome!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Ling became even more certain that the reason they had this feeling was because of the pills they had just received!

The other people who took a different medication did not experience this sensation!

He vaguely sensed that the internal energy barrier he had been unable to break through for many years was about to be broken through, and it wasn't because of this pill!

Thinking of this, his ears involuntarily turned red again!

When Lin Ru saw that his face, ears, and even neck had suddenly turned red, she assumed that he was suffering from the effects of her internal energy and quickly pushed him away!

"You should go back and rest!"

"Take good care of yourself! If you don't have anything else to do today, you don't need to come over!"

Wu Ling had nothing to do all day and didn't have to come over, but suddenly felt like she was being disliked!

Even his departing figure looked like an abandoned puppy!

Lin Ru was completely oblivious to Wu Ling's emotions because she had important things to do!

After she closed the door tightly, she said, "What I just gave you wasn't poison, you should know that, right?"

The people present looked at each other.

They must have known what was going on. Didn't she know how those people left? They were all supporting each other as they went out, and the cries of pain they made didn't seem fake!

And their faces are covered in sweat, and the color is bright red, some even turning purple. Aren't these signs of poisoning?

Now we know it wasn't poison at all!

They were left unsure of how to feel—whether they were relieved they hadn't ingested poison or felt deceived. In any case, they didn't experience any physical pain!

That's actually something to be thankful for!

Lin Ru looked at their very interesting expressions and found it a little funny!

But now is not the time for jokes!

She needed to hurry and arrange where these people went!

She casually found a place to sit down!

Then we'll start talking about the next steps!

"Don't worry, that stuff is definitely not poisonous!"

"It might not be of any benefit to you!"

"Everyone should be aware of the current situation!"

"I had no choice but to use this method to select the truly capable people!"

"The rest will depend on everyone's joint efforts!"
