At this moment, Nanli appeared to have a sudden realization, "Antidote? So the vine whip was poisoned."
The Taoist almost choked on his breath.
This young girl was truly formidable.
She must have known about the poison on the vine whip, which is why she caused such a commotion, forcing Li Cheng to reveal the truth.
"Don't spout nonsense. There is no poison on the vine whip," the Taoist denied vehemently, while subtly winking at Li Cheng, indicating that Nanli hadn't actually drawn blood.
However, having studied for many years and eagerly awaiting the imperial examination next spring, Li Cheng couldn't afford to be unable to hold a brush.
All his years of effort would be in vain.
Thus, he felt a sense of panic and couldn't comprehend the Taoist's signal.
Nanli relaxed her grip, finally able to crawl over and grab the Taoist's robe, shouting fiercely, "Give me the antidote quickly! I cannot become disabled! I still need to pass the imperial examination!"
