This seemingly fair proposal made Mu Jingrui smile coldly.
"You poured the wine, how do I know if you tampered with it?"
Faced with Mu Jingrui's questioning, Sun Jinyao was not angry. He dipped a silver hairpin that he had prepared in advance into two glasses of wine.
Sure enough, one cup is poisonous and the other is not.
"How about it? Do you dare to bet with me?"
"Okay! I'll take the bet!"
Mu Jingrui threw the sword and its scabbard into the pillar and walked to the table.
Sun Jinyao threw a piece of black cloth to Mu Jingrui, and then covered his own eyes with the black cloth.
Seeing this, Mu Jingrui did not cheat.
Just after both of them blindfolded themselves, Mu Jingrui used his internal energy to rotate the two glasses of wine continuously on the table.
Finally, it stopped.
Both of them took off the black cloth covering their eyes.
"I came up with this method. To be fair, I'll let you choose first."
Sun Jinyao made a gesture of invitation.
Mu Jingrui just glanced at the wine in front of him and said, "Before I make a bet with you, I want to see Ning'er first. Make sure she is safe. If she is missing a hair..."
Sun Jinyao raised his eyebrows slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the screen not far away was shattered into two pieces.
He saw her sitting on a chair in her wedding dress, tears glistening in her eyes. She was gazing at him lovingly, but she said nothing.
She had her acupuncture points pressed.
Mu Jingrui flicked his finger and Shangguan Wanning's body trembled slightly.
"Jingrui, don't..."
That day, Shangguan Wanning walked into the tent and saw Sun Jinyao appear in front of her. Her thoughts went blank in an instant.
She really didn't expect that she would see Sun Jinyao again.
However, before she had the chance to express her joy at the reunion, Sun Jinyao dealt her a heavy blow.
"Ning'er, don't be afraid, I will save you." Mu Jingrui comforted softly.
Shangguan Wanning shook her head desperately. She wanted to run towards Mu Jingrui, but when she saw Sun Jinyao's eyes, she couldn't help but stop.
"Pick one." Sun Jinyao saw the love for Mu Jingrui in Shangguan Wanning's eyes.
This was unacceptable to him.
Mu Jingrui looked down and chose the cup on the left.
"No……"
Shangguan Wanning saw that Mu Jingrui was about to drink the glass of wine and hurried forward to stop him.
"Brother Yao, I know... I am sorry for you. I beg you, don't gamble with your life. No matter who dies among you... I will be very sad."
Sun Jinyao looked at Shangguan Wanning and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.
"Ning'er, do you know how much I love you? Even if you schemed to destroy my family, I would still forget you. If I can't be with you... then I would rather die."
Sun Jinyao's voice was very soft, but it was like a brand to Shangguan Wanning.
"If you don't want any casualties between me and Mu Jingrui, then you have to make a choice now. Do you want me... or him?"
Deep down in her heart, Shangguan Wanning would definitely choose Mu Jingrui.
but……
That would hurt Sun Jinyao's heart.
She owed Sun Jinyao so much.
"You don't have to make it difficult for Ning'er. You and I...are willing to accept defeat."
Mu Jingrui picked up the glass of wine he had chosen and drank it all in one gulp.
He didn't want to put Shangguan Wanning in any trouble.
"Jing Rui..."
Shangguan Wanning wanted to stop it but it was too late.
Mu Jingrui didn't react for a long time after drinking the wine.
So... the other cup is poisonous?
Sun Jinyao just smiled faintly and picked up the wine glass and drank it.
"Brother Yao..."
Sun Jinyao threw the wine glass to the ground.
"Mu Jingrui, do you know? Your luck has always been so good that it makes people jealous. My experience is so similar to yours... You can rise to prominence all the way and become the King of Zhennan, second only to one man and loved by everyone in just a few years. But what about me?"
Sun Jinyao's brows twisted into a knot when he thought about how the Sun family had gone from being a prominent family to being in decline today.
"But today... your good fortune is probably the biggest one."
As soon as Sun Jinyao finished speaking, Mu Jingrui felt a pain in his abdomen.
"Jing Rui?"
Shangguan Wanning noticed something was wrong with Mu Jingrui, and hurriedly reached out to support him, and took the opportunity to take his pulse.
Her face changed suddenly.
Mu Jingrui's pulse was exactly the same as that of the patients in the concentration camp.
However, Mu Jingrui skipped the step of twitching.
"Brother Yao, you..." Shangguan Wan Ning was a little bit unbelievable, her body trembling slightly, "Did you poison me?"
"yes."
"Why did you do this? What on earth are you..." Shangguan Wan Ning didn't believe that Sun Jinyao could poison so many people by himself. Her face darkened and she asked, "What on earth are you going to do?"
"Marry you." A fierce light flashed in Sun Jinyao's eyes, and he stretched out his hand to pull Shangguan Wanning back.
Mu Jingrui pushed Sun Jinyao back with a palm, grabbed Shangguan Wanning's hand and used his lightness skills to jump out of the hall.
The two of them had just arrived at the garden when Sun Jinyao caught up with them over their heads and stood in front of them.
"Mu Jingrui, you are poisoned. There is no way you can escape. Soon, all your skills will disappear."
"Humph, then I will drag you down with me before I die."
Mu Jingrui's expression darkened and he struck out at Sun Jinyao with a palm.
Sun Jinyao dodged to the side, and the two of them exchanged more than ten moves in a row, and he remained undefeated.
Shangguan Wanning could see that Mu Jingrui's moves were getting slower and slower, and he couldn't even use his internal strength.
She watched helplessly as Sun Jinyao slapped Mu Jingrui in the chest.
Mu Jingrui fell to the ground and suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Seeing Sun Jinyao's other palm heading towards Mu Jingrui's forehead, Shangguan Wanning stepped forward resolutely and stood in front of Mu Jingrui.
Sun Jinyao hurriedly retracted his palm power and took several steps back before he could barely stabilize his body.
"Don't you want to live?" Sun Jinyao was still frightened.
If he had retracted that palm strike a little slower, Shangguan Wanning would have been dead.
"Brother Yao, why did you become like this?" Shangguan Wanning raised her head and looked at Sun Jinyao with tears in her eyes. "How could you use what your master taught you to harm others? Why did you poison those people? Where is your master now?"
Shangguan Wanning now understood that everything was a trap set by Sun Jinyao.
At least, the person who told her not to see the secret of the Instinctual Acupuncture Method was not Lu Xiangzi himself.
"I'll let you know. But I'll have to wait until you become my wife."
Sun Jinyao pulled Shangguan Wanning over. Mu Jingrui wanted to grab Shangguan Wanning's hand, but he was powerless.
"Mu Jingrui, don't worry. You won't die for now. You are the only guest I invited to watch the ceremony. As long as Ning'er and I haven't gotten married, you are not allowed to die."
As he spoke, Sun Jinyao pulled Shangguan Wanning into the hall.
