The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Chapter 511: Chapter 510: Hidden Jade

Upon hearing the old poison master’s words, Yiyi’s face broke into a cold sneer.

”Even if I tell you, it won’t end well for me. Why should I tell you anything?”

Seeing the stubbornness on Yiyi’s face, Ye Jia Ren chuckled beside her, ”Yiyi, obediently cooperate, or you’ll really suffer. If you answer truthfully, I will plead to my mentor on your behalf, and you’ll definitely be released.”

Upon hearing this, Yiyi turned her gaze to Ye Jia Ren, curled her lips into a smile, and said, ”So you’re the one causing trouble behind the scenes. When we had dinner today, you must have drugged the wine, didn’t you? Aren’t you afraid Jinming and the others will come after you later?”

Ye Jia Ren laughed heartily at this, and once she was done she said with a fearless face, ”Of course Jinming will never know about this. We’ll proceed with the engagement as planned, so you don’t have to worry.”

Yiyi, hearing Ye Jia Ren’s words, also burst into laughter.

”What are you laughing at?”

Ye Jia Ren’s brows gradually furrowed seeing Yiyi’s insouciant smile.

Yiyi halted her laughter, looking at Ye Jia Ren with an indifferent face, and said, ”I’m laughing because your mouth doesn’t match your heart. You had no intention to let me go, trying to deceive me with your words. You think you’re the only clever one?”

Hearing this, Ye Jia Ren raised her brows and stopped speaking further, only looking at Yiyi with a full-on sneer, ”I advise you to be smart. This way we can all get through this quickly, otherwise, you’ll really experience the agonizing pain of being neither able to live nor die.”

Naturally, Yiyi knew she was speaking the truth. After all, she had already tasted the agony of being neither able to live nor die back in Medicine Valley. She knew that feeling all too well.

At this moment, she wasn’t overly flustered. Her mind raced, pondering how to escape her current predicament.

In that instant, she suddenly recalled a name she had heard before.

”Hidden Jade...”

She remembered, indeed, the old poison master had another apprentice, a very mysterious individual who never appeared in Medicine Valley. So she had never met this person before; now seeing Ye Jia Ren, she suddenly realized that Ye Jia Ren is probably Hidden Jade.

Upon hearing Yiyi’s words, a trace of surprise flashed across Ye Jia Ren’s face before she looked at Yiyi with sharp eyes, saying, ”Who exactly are you? Where did you hear about me from?”

Meanwhile, the old poison master was also looking at Yiyi inquisitively, his eyes filled with deeper puzzlement.

Originally, he was curious about the recipes from Wuming Pharmaceutical Factory, as some were papers he was currently researching. Unexpectedly, the opponent had already researched and concocted medicine pills.

Moreover, the fact that the young lady in front of him knew Hidden Jade was truly astonishing.

Hidden Jade had never appeared beside him. The only ones who knew about Hidden Jade were him and Leng Ning, but Leng Ning was impossible to divulge such matters. Therefore, who exactly is the young lady in front of him?

”Looks like I need to cleverly pry open your mouth.”

Ye Jia Ren, alongside, also lost her initial ease, agreeing as she looked at the old poison master and said, ”Mentor, we should indeed ask her thoroughly. From what I know, this Ding Yiyi grew up in the countryside and was later recognized by the Gu family’s eldest grandson before being taken back by the Ding Family. Her experiences are straightforward with nothing unusual. How does she know about our matters?”

By the end, Ye Jia Ren’s tone bore a hint of investigation.

”And moreover, how did she obtain those recipes? I can’t believe a little girl with no medical knowledge could concoct such medicine pills. There are too many suspicious points about her.”

”Indeed quite suspicious, given this, let her try out the medicine I’ve just successfully concocted recently.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Jia Ren couldn’t help but laugh.

”Mentor, that’s a great idea.”

She knew the medicine pills her mentor recently prepared were a heart-wrenching poison that could make someone suffer immense agony. She was curious to see if Ding Yiyi would remain so composed then.

Yiyi didn’t know what medicine pills the old poison master recently concocted, but she knew it couldn’t be anything good.

”Hidden Jade, help me pry open her mouth.”

The old poison master pulled out a small ceramic bottle from his pocket, simultaneously looked at Ye Jia Ren and instructed.

Ye Jia Ren smiled slightly, approached and gripped Yiyi’s jaw, forcibly opening her mouth.

The old poison master acted swiftly, stuffing the medicine pill into Yiyi’s mouth instantly.

The medicine pill dissolved upon entering, leaving Yiyi with only a mouthful of bitter medicinal taste before she could react.

Seeing Yiyi had taken the medicine pill, Ye Jia Ren then released her, sneering all over, ”Serves you right for not cooperating. Later you’ll suffer the consequences.”

”This medicine pill acts quickly. We should ask what we want to know before she loses consciousness from the pain.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Jia Ren hurriedly laughed and said, ”Rest assured, mentor, I understand.”

”Hmm...”

The medicine pill acted quickly, despite Yiyi’s mental preparation, she couldn’t help but let out a cry of pain. Yet soon she composed herself, pressing her lips tightly shut, making no further sound.

”Heh... quite resilient indeed, such domineering potency didn’t even get a shout of pain from you.”

Ye Jia Ren raised her brows in surprise seeing Yiyi’s reaction.

The old poison master was also surprised but had confidence in his concocted poison, hence he directly asked, ”Where did you get the recipes for those medicine pills produced by Wuming Pharmaceutical Factory?”

”Of course... I made them myself.”

Yiyi gritted her teeth and spoke through the pain.

The old poison master’s face didn’t look very good upon hearing this.

”Seems you can endure quite a bit, but this is just the beginning. There’s more for you to endure. If you’re smart enough, speak the truth quickly, and I’ll give you the antidote. Otherwise, you’ll just be in endless pain until you pass out.”

Yiyi clenched her teeth tightly, not uttering a sound, but cold sweat poured down her forehead, proving she was enduring extreme pain.

”Speak quickly, where did those recipes come from, and how do you know about Hidden Jade?” Ye Jia Ren saw the sweat covering Yiyi’s forehead, naturally knowing she was in much pain, thus directly interrogated her.

Yet Yiyi still said nothing.

”Mentor, I think we’ve been too gentle. She still refuses to tell the truth.”

The old poison master frowned tightly, saying, ”I’m afraid if we use more of the medicine, she will die directly, and we still won’t uncover her secrets.”

This left Ye Jia Ren somewhat displeased.

”What to do then? If she keeps enduring the pain without speaking, we’re left at a standstill.”

The old poison master had confidence in his medicine pills, ”Wait longer, she’ll definitely speak the truth.”

Since the mentor said so, Ye Jia Ren didn’t say much more, however, even after Yiyi fainted from the pain, she still hadn’t said anything.
