This statement left everyone present wide-eyed in astonishment. 

"Shorten life by ten years?!" 

Was it true or not?! 

"You're talking nonsense!" 

Yang Mo couldn't help but get anxious, wishing she could pounce on Qi Xibei and give her a claw. 

"You're making it up!" 

"I'm making it up?" Qi Xibei looked at her, her gaze ice-cold, flickering with a glimmer that made Yang Mo involuntarily avert her eyes. 

In an instant, everyone understood! She was guilty! 

This made everyone even more agitated. 

Qi Xibei was telling the truth! 

"I haven't!" Yang Mo hurriedly explained, "I haven't done anything! The medicine I gave Mr. Zhang was all good medicine!" 

"Is that so?" Qi Xibei looked at her, "Are you sure you didn't use any prohibited drugs?" 

Prohibited drugs?! 

Everyone gasped in disbelief. They stared at Yang Mo, hoping to find the truth from her. 

"No! Absolutely not!" Yang Mo shook her head frantically. 

Even if she did use them, she would never admit it. Especially since she hadn't done such a thing. 

She wasn't a fool. If she had used those things on Zhang Xun and it was discovered during an examination, wouldn't she be finished? 

She came to win the other side over, not to make enemies. 

"Really, none at all?" 

"I already said there's none!" Wang Tianze shouted loudly, "The medicine Yang Mo used is definitely not prohibited!" 

Yang Mo nodded frantically, "None! Absolutely none! I promise! I swear!" 

"Oh," Qi Xibei nodded, "So you're saying that you simply lack the skill." 

These words made Yang Mo's heart sink. 

"What do you mean?" Her face turned extremely ugly. 

What did it mean to lack the skill? 

"What do you mean?" Qi Xibei sneered, "If you didn't intentionally use prohibited drugs on Mr. Zhang, then it means your skills are lacking." 

"You..." 

"Let me think. You used two kinds of herbs, right?" Qi Xibei said directly, "One is the Shangguang Flower, and the other is the Flying Bud Grass, am I right?" 

These two things puzzled everyone. 

Were these… Medicinal herbs? 

Why did they sound so unfamiliar? 

"And so what?!" Yang Mo straightened her chest, refusing to admit defeat. 

"That's correct," Qi Xibei smiled. "Then you probably don't know that these two things shouldn't be used together, right?" 

"What?" 

"These two herbs should only be used separately. If mixed together, they will produce effects similar to opium." 

Opium? 

Nobody understood the previous drugs, but everyone understood opium. 

Wasn't that one of the poisons? 

If used in excessive amounts, it would cause significant harm to the body, even addiction! 

Opium used to be used for pain relief in the past. However, it was later discovered that the drawbacks outweighed the benefits.

Even if Zhang Xun wanted to get better, he never once thought of using these things! 

"It's impossible!" Yang Mo's face turned pale, "You're lying!" 

"I'm not lying," Qi Xibei shrugged. "It's just that your skills are lacking, so you didn't know that these two spiritual plants shouldn't be mixed together." 

Looking at Qi Xibei's confident expression, Yang Mo felt a chill run down her spine. 

These two things were certainly not commonly used medicinal herbs; they were spiritual plants. 

These spiritual plants were provided by Qi Xin. 

Qi Xin's family had a large spiritual plant garden, with many spiritual plants in it. 

Previously, when Qi Xin took over her family, the spiritual plant garden naturally became her possession. 

As a result, Yang Mo also went to Qi Xin's house.
