"Even the man who created the poison couldn't cure it," Nie Rougang said coldly as he brushed past Li Meiran. "Are you telling me your people are stronger than the one who made it?"
Li Meiran clicked his tongue. "Who told you the creator can cure it? Haven't you heard of Poison Master Yu? He's the sole disciple of Gui Jianchou, the master pharmacist. One of the greatest alchemists on earth. There's no medicine he can't refine."
Nie Rougang glanced at him. "So even that ghostlike legend has been found by you. Impressive."
"It's not that he never shows himself. He just never shows up in person," Li Meiran replied with a sly smile. "And he happens to know me. I've named my price. You should think about your answer."
"You already have it," Nie Rougang said flatly. "Get lost."
Li Meiran laughed softly. "Whether I stay or go isn't up to you. I'll make Song Yue fall in love with me and follow me willingly."
Nie Rougang seized his collar. "How dare you?"
