"Madam, are you planning to become Yue Siqing's direct disciple?" Emperor Beichen looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang, who was sitting beside him, and asked slowly.
Bai Li Hongzhuang nodded. "Yue Siqing is a very cautious person. If I can't become her direct disciple, I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to get close to her. It's not easy to poison her. I've made up my mind to intensify the poison I used on Mu Jinse."
Once she learned that Yue Siqing had poisoned Mu Jinse, Bai Li Hongzhuang was determined to unleash an even stronger poison on Yue Siqing. She wanted Yue Siqing to taste the pain of being poisoned. Only then could she repay her grandmother's years of hardship.
"Even if I become her direct disciple, it won't be easy to achieve that with her cunning and vicious personality," Emperor Beichen said with a slightly grave tone. This was the aspect that they had always found difficult.
If it wasn't for this, directly poisoning the Yue family would be a simple matter. But only after dealing with Yue Siqing would Bai Li Hongzhuang truly feel relieved.
Yue Siqing was not only skilled in medical and toxic arts, but also formidable in strength. Therefore, they had to be extremely careful when dealing with her.
Bai Li Hongzhuang's pitch-black eyes shimmered with understanding as she said in a deep voice, "I anticipated this. However, I believe that as long as I get close to Yue Siqing, there will eventually be an opportunity."
She believed that even if Yue Siqing was cautious, there would still be moments of relaxation. Given some time, she was confident she would find a chance to poison Yue Siqing.
"And I'm here as well," Emperor Beichen whispered as he tightly held Bai Li Hongzhuang's hand. Even if any problems arose, he wouldn't let anything happen to Bai Li Hongzhuang.
Hearing his words, Bai Li Hongzhuang's lips curled up, revealing her fair and neat teeth. That smile reached deep into her heart.
"I know."
She was no longer afraid of anything and had an incredibly strong inner strength.
At the end of the second round, the results of the first written test were announced.
"In the final round, first place goes to Xuan Yi, earning five points!"
As Bai Li Hongzhuang's score was announced, another round of astonished exclamations erupted from the crowd. Her performance in the preliminary round had already been impressive, but no one expected her to achieve a perfect score in the first round of the finals. It was truly astounding!
Similarly, Ji Lexue took second place, earning four points. She had made a mistake in one of the names of the medicinal herbs, resulting in a one-point deduction.
Seeing this, Ji Lexue furrowed her brows tightly. She didn't expect to lose to Bai Li Hongzhuang once again in the first round of the finals!
While others expressed their astonishment and envy, Bai Li Hongzhuang's expression remained relatively calm throughout, with only a hint of concealed joy visible.
Of course, this slight joy was intentionally displayed by Bai Li Hongzhuang. If she showed no reaction at all, it would arouse suspicion.
After learning about these results, everyone no longer doubted that Bai Li Hongzhuang would undoubtedly win first place in this recruitment competition. Her score had already left everyone far behind, even if others achieved a perfect score in the subsequent rounds, they couldn't surpass her.
