Zi Hua went around and fed the selected disciples and elders each a pill during their sleep and gave Tang Zen Zen and her two subordinates one.After arriving, Zi Hua had found that her body was immune to poisons, most likely thanks to her master.
In her past life she had trained herself to be resistant to most poisons through consuming regulated small doses of poison due to potential hazards such as poisonous gas security measures but it was no where near the current level of immunity, if she had to she could practically live off eating poisons.
But they hadn"t made a fool of themselves yet so how could she let them off and give them a quick death?
"Help! Save me!" A panic-stricken scream rang throughout the whole area, causing many disciples and elders to head towards the source.
A scene of which a female was being restrained by a male awaited, people soon recognized them, they were the geniuses of the two fractions, Gardenia was "trying" to break free but to no avail.
Elder Zhou immediately helped Gardenia escape and the elders accompanying her restrained Tang Zen Zen.
After that the two immediately fainted, a physician came to check her condition and found that Gardenia had a vaporized drug, which weakens even Martial Experts" muscles, enter her system which explains her weak struggle even though they were the same level in cultivation.
As soon as Gardenia woke up and saw Elder Zhou, her eyes brimmed with tears and looked extremely aggrieved.
"Elder Zhou" Gardenia weakly muttered.
"Child what happened, I will help you get justice"
"Elder Zhou, Tang Zen Zen suddenly approached me and told me that if I drug Senior Ming they will give me a master breaking pill, I refused, how could I repay the kindness Senior Ming had shown me with such evil and was about to leave and tell you about it, but suddenly my limbs felt powerless and...and..." She immediately broke into a crying mess, cupping her face with her hands.
Gardenia, ah, your acting skills are exceptional, you would"ve been an actress if you were on Earth.
Elder Zhou had not suspected a thing due to the "truthful" eyes of Gardenia, from this she could see the whole picture, those b*stards!
They must"ve wanted to threaten her using her disciple by poisoning her then offering the antidote in exchange for their aim and approached Gardenia since she was close with Ming Wei Er, but since she refused, they drugged her with a gas type drug and tried to force and threaten her but Gardenia still had some energy and managed to scream for help.
Elder Zhou was furious, those people had gone too far! If she hadn"t arrived not only would their plan succeed, the genius would"ve gotten into a messy situation.
Meanwhile, Tang Zen Zen had also woken up, he was greeted by a numerous elders from the fraction which he had approached.
Although they two fractions were in conflict, they couldn"t take away the other"s disciple, especially a genius.
"Tang Zen Zen please explain what happened"
"I was taking a stroll and Gardenia appeared, the next part I don"t remember clearly but I recall smelling something" Tang Zen Zen wouldn"t have survived all these years if she hadn"t been a good actress.
This aligned with what the physician had told them, there was a drug in his system which caused him to act that way.
All the elders present could see that Gardenia or maybe the other fraction had wished to use this as a reason to punish or create trouble for the genius they had acquired.
"Good! Good! It seems that they have grown some guts to dare do this!" The lead elder of their fraction slammed his fist against the table by the bedside causing the wooden table to break in two.
