Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 1960 - 488: An Yiqing Is Poisoned

"Sect Leader Uncle, are you really planning to use a dead person as the exam question?" Nie Yuan was exasperated.

"No, no." Ye Chenghong waved his hand, "Who would really use a dead person as an exam? The opponent isn’t a deity. If people say we’re bullying others, we’d be in big trouble, right? My point is, there are many diseases whose symptoms are like a pseudo-death state. In such cases, it’s also called bringing someone back to life."

Everyone understood. There are many diseases resembling a pseudo-death state, such as some vegetative states where the brain still has activity, yet the heart has stopped beating. This situation, in layman’s terms, is a pseudo-death state.

For patients in such a state, waking them up again is extremely difficult.

Since this competition is meant to challenge the opponent, none of the three participating teams are good-natured; Medicine Sect members naturally won’t show mercy. Everyone immediately took action to investigate cases of pseudo-death states.

An Yiqing shook her head speechlessly, picked up her wallet, and walked towards the restaurant with Nie Yuan.

"Senior brother, you’re already thirty-two; if you don’t settle down soon, Sect Leader Uncle is going to be really anxious." After the third woman with a large chest and jutting hips deliberately walked past Nie Yuan, An Yiqing finally couldn’t hold back her laughter.

Her senior brother was handsome and although he couldn’t compare to Gu Yelin and Duan Tang, he was still a gentle man with a refined demeanor. Plus, having long been in touch with ancient texts, Nie Yuan carried a sort of ethereal aura.

On the way to the restaurant, a constant parade of women tried to catch Nie Yuan’s attention, deliberately walking past him flirtatiously.

Yet Nie Yuan, although gracious and courteous, was more indifferent than a monk regarding such matters.

An Yiqing didn’t know how many women scowled at her along the way, she didn’t mind, but thinking about the Great Elder’s hope for her senior brother to marry and have children, she couldn’t help but laugh.

"Junior sister, you’re teasing me again." Nie Yuan was helpless; just mentioning marriage made him headache.

"Senior brother, with your qualities, finding a girlfriend shouldn’t be hard, right?" An Yiqing stifled her laughter, "Sect Leader Uncle only has you as a disciple, he’s longing for a grand-disciple so intensely that his eyes are probably turning green."

Thinking about his mentor, Nie Yuan felt even more helpless. He shook his head as if something occurred to him, suddenly brightened up.

"Believe it or not, our Medicine Sect is about to have a wedding soon."

An Yiqing was surprised, "Who’s getting married?"

"Indeed! Little Seven got a girlfriend at university. Last time I went to pick him up, I saw him and that girl being all lovey-dovey. Judging by how Little Seven looks, it seems he’s quite taken."

Nie Yuan was talking about Little Seven, the seventh senior brother to An Yiqing, and the closed-door disciple of the Third Elder, currently a second-year doctoral student at Xuandu Medical University. He’s rather shy, especially when talking to women, always turning red uncontrollably. An Yiqing never expected that her introverted seventh senior brother had a girlfriend!

"That’s indeed good news! But how do you know they’re getting married? Dating and marriage seem to be quite far apart, don’t they?"

"Well, you know Little Seven’s personality, he’s stubbornly committed. The last time I saw him, it was like he was about to worship the girl as a little goddess." Nie Yuan paused, shaking his head with a sigh, "I hope she’s straightforward and doesn’t hurt Little Seven’s feelings."

An Yiqing lowered her eyes without speaking; she certainly hoped that her seventh senior brother would end up with his lover. However, a relationship involves facing many challenges, especially considering Little Seven’s background—can his girlfriend accept it?

For a moment, An Yiqing and Nie Yuan were silent. After a simple meal, they returned to the hotel accommodation area.

Just as they walked into the hotel door, while An Yiqing was casually chatting with Nie Yuan, suddenly a figure hurriedly rushed past them.

That person was in such a hurry, twisted an ankle, and with an "Ouch," stumbled towards An Yiqing, spilling the contents in their hands everywhere.

An Yiqing, quick with her hands and eyes, caught the person, and upon a second look, realized it was Shi Xiaowen from the Poison Medicine Sect, the one who had been bullied.

"I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I ran too fast; it wasn’t intentional!" Shi Xiaowen looked like a startled rabbit, not even picking up the things on the ground, repeatedly bowing in apology to An Yiqing.

"It’s alright." An Yiqing waved her hand indifferently and was about to walk away. Although Shi Xiaowen was an innocent little rabbit, she didn’t care much for people from the Poison Medicine Sect.
