Chapter 542: Chapter 542: Your Man, I Want Him Too

Qiao Xi also scrutinized her with an assessing gaze. It was impossible for Lu Yingxue, incompetent as she may be, to fail at holding a single needle!

Her fingers were trembling.

She tried to remove a long needle!

But she couldn’t grasp the tiny needle.

What accident had happened?

Just as Qiao Xi was pondering, she saw Lu Yingxue slightly roll up her sleeves, revealing the densely packed red rashes on her arm.

These looked like symptoms of a severe allergy!

Lu Yingxue bit her lip tightly, her usually pale and snow-like face now appeared twisted with pain.

The itchiness surged through her body!

Getting more intense!

Fingertips, palms!

Even the pores all over her body were emitting an unbearable itchiness!

She couldn’t continue the competition at all!

All the years of planning with her father had gone to waste!

Lu Yingxue bit the tip of her tongue, feeling the taste of blood in her mouth.

The source of her allergy was uncommon and viciously strong, it wouldn’t get better anytime soon!

It was discovered after an accidental encounter with castor oil when she was ten!

Only those close to her knew about it!

It was Xiang Mingzhu!

Last night she feigned pity to stay overnight at the Lu Family’s home, not knowing at which step she meddled.

Causing her allergy!

Lu Yingxue suddenly turned her head to look at Xiang Mingzhu!

"Did you use castor oil on me?"

Xiang Mingzhu wasn’t talented in medicine studying, but she was extremely skilled in unorthodox methods.

She was adept at extracting these toxic herbs.

Just some castor oil!

It was a trifle for her.

"Xiang Mingzhu, today is the acupuncture competition! Do you realize what you’re doing?" Lu Yingxue’s tone was filled with endless fury, her whole body trembling!

The live cameras were focused on them, and she couldn’t do anything drastic!

She could only verbally question!

If possible, she wished she could slap Xiang Mingzhu a few times!

A teammate worse than none!

Xiang Mingzhu raised her chin and retorted, "Of course, I know what I’m doing. I also know you can’t hold a needle with your allergy. You must feel extremely uncomfortable right now, as if ants are crawling all over you, right?

Cousin, you’ve basked in glory for so many years! Isn’t it my turn now? The top spot in the acupuncture competition is mine for the taking."

She was determined to win!

"Cousin, I also know the narcolepsy awakening needle technique. I’ve made it to the final round on my own efforts. Why does the top spot have to be yours?"

Xiang Mingzhu just couldn’t accept it!

Lu Yingxue felt a mix of resentment and sorrow, "I never thought that the one to strike at me would be my own kin! Where do you place our family’s honor?"

Xiang Mingzhu said proudly, "If I win, it’s also the family’s honor! In fact, I can do better than you. The top spot in the acupuncture competition, I want it! The position of Young Madam of the Zhong Family, I want that too! Cousin, you better swallow this loss, otherwise the honor of our two families will be completely gone! You wouldn’t report that I’ve sabotaged you, would you?"

Her words were particularly arrogant, having calculated that Lu Yingxue prioritized family interests.

Her ambitions, clear and unabashed under the bright sunlight!

Lu Yingxue was burning with rage, and she could no longer maintain the Fairy persona she worked so hard to present to the public. Provoked by Xiang Mingzhu, Lu Yingxue raised her hand!

Preparing to slap Xiang Mingzhu right across the face!

But she hit nothing but air!

Xiang Mingzhu grabbed her hand and pushed it fiercely, causing Lu Yingxue to stumble and nearly fall!

It was somewhat embarrassing!

The entire place was in an uproar!

Even many people stood up, craning their necks to see what was happening inside the arena.

Lu Bannong and the judges had grave expressions, and they all announced a temporary suspension of the competition.

The sterile room was opened.

"What are you doing!"

Lu Bannong was nearly furious to death.

Watching from outside, he felt something was amiss; half of the sand in the hourglass had already fallen, yet Lu Yingxue had still not administered the acupuncture.

He had taught her the awakening technique for narcolepsy!

Lu Yingxue was biting her lip tightly, taking a deep breath. Xiang Mingzhu had said something very true—if she reported her now for unfair competition and dragged her down, it would hurt both parties!

Neither of them would benefit!

The Lu Family and the Xiang Family should both retain a glimpse of hope!

They would settle the account after the competition!

Faced with Lu Bannong’s interrogation, Lu Yingxue harshly glanced at Xiang Mingzhu and finally, in front of everyone, said, "I had an allergic reaction and lost my footing; my cousin tried to support me but failed to hold steady."

Xiang Mingzhu also breathed a sigh of relief, her face showing concern: "Cousin, you need to be more careful next time. Such an important competition and you have an allergic reaction, it’s really too careless."

Lu Yingxue was feeling venomous hatred for Xiang Mingzhu, but due to the Family’s mission, she could say nothing.

She couldn’t let the audience present know about the sordid details between her and Xiang Mingzhu.

Lu Bannong asked carefully, "Can you still compete?" He was even more angry, his face void of any smile.

Where was his usual hypocritical gentleness and warmth.

Lu Yingxue shook her head, "I’m unable to administer the acupuncture."

Huang Bingyi and some of the old judges said, "Since you’re unable to perform the acupuncture, let Xiang Mingzhu try. We will watch here, to prevent any further mistakes."

With that, they stood inside the sterile room without moving an inch.

The dispute between the cousins just now was clear to them, and they did not believe their words.

This competition was shrouded in mystery.

"Cousin, rest assured, I’ll try my best,"

Lu Yingxue, enduring an itch that pierced her heart, did not leave. She just watched coldly as Xiang Mingzhu said, "Watch your performance."

Xiang Mingzhu revealed a radiant smile, taking out her needle packet and spreading it out to one side. She trembled with excitement; the old fogeys of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association had no idea that her uncle had spent so many years studying narcolepsy.

Ultimately, they really agreed to this examination question—it was heaven’s help to her!

Half an hour later, she was draped in full glory.

Xiang Mingzhu looked up at the VIP seats and spotted Zhong Yi!

Young Master Zhong was watching her!

He must really wish for her to win, so they could openly be together!

Xiang Mingzhu’s heart raced; her cheeks flushed red.

This was the excitement of surging qi and blood.

She breathed in and out slowly, steadying her breath. Under the toxic stare of Lu Yingxue, she took out a long needle and inserted it swiftly, fiercely, and accurately into the Baihui Acupoint.

Her technique was spot on, she had waited long for this day after all.

She took out another long needle, her peripheral gaze carrying a hint of disdain as it swept over Qiao Xi, her lips curling with a provoking smugness.

Just as she was about to apply the needle.

The Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic became noisy.

At the entrance of the clinic, four or five uniformed police officers came in, their faces serious as they walked straight in.

The audience was puzzled about why the police were there.

Could it be like some news reports, that there was a fugitive among the spectators?

As they wondered,

These officers walked into the arena, and the security didn’t dare to stop them.

The competition was halted!

Everyone was asked to leave the sterile room.

Xiang Mingzhu was forced to put down her long needle, her eyes flickered, and she had a bad premonition.

The police officers took out their credentials and asked, "Who is Xiang Mingzhu?"

They were looking for Xiang Mingzhu?

Qiao Xi thought to herself, finally, it has come.

All the preparations Huo Xingzhou made in advance were not in vain.

What goes around comes around!
