Sensational! Fake Noble VS Real Genius

Chapter 852: Chapter 852: Gathering in the Office

Jin Xiaolan looked at Li Chunhua’s appearance and a trace of inexplicable emotion flashed through her eyes. She didn’t understand why Li Chunhua suddenly asked this, "What do you mean?"

Li Chunhua listened to Jin Xiaolan’s question and did not answer. Instead, she asked, "Have you heard of any disciples in the sect dying because they didn’t get the antidote in the past two days?" noveldrama

Jin Xiaolan frowned upon hearing this.

She was locked in the Dark Prison for a day and a night, unable to contact the outside world. How could she have heard about matters outside?

Upon hearing Li Chunhua’s words, Lv Suhua’s heart skipped a beat.

Although she hadn’t deliberately inquired, she indeed hadn’t heard of any disciples dying because they didn’t get the antidote in the past two days.

Could it be that the Alliance Hierarch and Minister Yue really stayed up all night to refine the antidote?

Impossible. With such a large quantity of antidote, even if Ling Yuxuan and Yue Xi worked tirelessly, it would be impossible to finish refining the antidote in one night.

Jin Xiaolan frowned and remained silent for a few seconds. Soon, a trace of mocking light appeared in her eyes, "Even if the Alliance Hierarch and Minister Yue stayed up all night to refine the antidote, it’s a fact that Miss Gu’s alchemy exploded dozens of elixir furnaces."

Jin Xiaolan’s thoughts were similar to Lv Suhua’s. Listening to Li Chunhua’s implication, all the disciples had received the antidote, which seemed to be the result of the Alliance Hierarch and Minister Yue staying up all night to refine it.

But how did they manage to refine so many antidotes?

Jin Xiaolan was puzzled but quickly threw her doubts aside. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Li Chunhua, continuing, "I heard that the explosion sound ended at twelve-thirty in the morning, tirelessly working for three or four hours and risking injury from the explosion. I don’t know whether to admire or pity you guys."

As she spoke, Jin Xiaolan covered her mouth and laughed softly, with neither admiration nor pity, only blatant mockery.

Li Chunhua listened to her words, but her expression remained unchanged. She sat at her workstation, organizing the items on her desk, and said, "Indeed, the furnace exploded, but how do you know we didn’t successfully refine the antidote?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Xiaolan’s smile froze for a moment, and a trace of doubt and unease surged in her heart.

What do you mean?

Could it be that Miss Gu really managed to refine the antidote with them?

The office fell into a brief silence, and suddenly there was movement at the door. It was Ma Tao.

Lv Suhua saw Ma Tao and immediately greeted him, "Brother Ma, you’re here?"

Ma Tao ignored her, his face darkened, and returned to his workstation silently.

Seeing Ma Tao’s poor mood, Jin Xiaolan quickly put her doubts aside and asked Ma Tao, "Brother Ma, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing." Ma Tao replied coldly with two words and then sat down at his workstation.

Jin Xiaolan and Lv Suhua exchanged a glance, then quietly returned to their workstations, afraid of angering Ma Tao, and hence did not speak again.

The office fell into silence.

With nothing attracting Jin Xiaolan’s attention anymore, she recalled Li Chunhua’s words.

Feeling somewhat uneasy, she glanced at Li Chunhua.

By this time, Li Chunhua had already packed her items and was preparing to attend her class.

Jin Xiaolan wanted to speak but held back. Until Li Chunhua left her workstation, Jin Xiaolan did not voice her doubts.

Just after Li Chunhua left her workstation and took a few steps, there was movement at the door.

It was Lu Yuanjiang and Ruan Hao.

Lu Yuanjiang hobbled on one leg, wrapped in bandages, with his arm and head also wrapped in bandages. He walked with a crutch in one hand and was supported by Ruan Hao with the other.
