After taking the bread, everyone conversed as they ate. They seemed to get acquainted very quickly.
The atmosphere in the team was unexpectedly harmonious, but something else was even more unusual.
Su Luo recalled that when she first entered Xiao Luo’s team, Li Manman had been very sarcastic and contemptuous toward her for no reason.
So when she was being chased down by the patrol soldiers, she deliberately made a few missteps to confirm her suspicion, which almost dragged the team down.
However, under those circumstances, Leng Qi—who was so full of character—and Senior Sister Yu—who was distant and imposing—suddenly turned a blind eye to her, as if she was invisible. Xiao Luo continued chattering around her, and Chu Yang did not say a single harsh word.
This was not right.
Something was out of the ordinary.
Su Luo held some bread in her hand. However, she only stared at it; she did not eat it.
When Xiao Luo saw her, she said sweetly, “Senior Sister Su, hurry up and eat. We will be on the road in an hour. There are more challenges ahead of us, and only those who have a full stomach will have the strength to overcome them.”
"I don't want to," Su Luo said carefully.
“You have to eat a little, even if you don't want to. Otherwise, what are you going to do if you get sick from hunger?" Xiao Luo seemed very concerned for Su Luo and nudged her to eat.
All right then.
Su Luo slowly tore off a small piece and put it in her mouth.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Xiao Luo’s team was not the only team watching her eat; several others seemed to be covertly watching her delicate fingers holding the bread…
Su Luo laughed coldly in her mind then she shoved the chunk into her mouth.
Then, she felt the four people sigh with relief.
"How is it? It doesn't taste too good, does it? They were all bought at the camp. This kind of bread doesn't look appetizing, and the taste is adequate, but it can help you withstand hunger. If you eat one, you can survive without eating or drinking for three days," Xiao Luo urged Su Luo again. "Senior Sister Su, even if you don't like it, just have a little bit."
Su Luo’s thick eyelashes fell as she lowered her eyes, concealing the sneer on her face.
“Young lady, you said that you were unfamiliar with the captain. How did you know that he bought it at the camp?
“Also, you keep on insisting that all loaves of bread were bought at the camp. Are you implying that all of you got the same bread as mine?”
But Su Luo knew that this was not true, as she tasted something different in her food.
Poison. One that could paralyze the nerves and limbs!
The poison was called Scarlet Blood.
It was colorless and tasteless, so the average person would not detect it.
However, Su Luo was now a Grandmaster Apothecary, and her research about poisons had long surpassed any Apothecary in the Genius Training Camp.
The people standing in front of Su Luo dared to poison her; they were truly just provoking someone far more powerful than 1.
Although it seemed that Su Luo mindlessly ate the bread, the truth was that she faked eating it. It fell into her Space rather than her stomach.
Not far away from her, several people saw Su Luo had eaten. They glanced at each other with a look of triumph.
Little did they know that Su Luo had captured their expressions and actions. A scornful expression flashed across her eyes.
Now it was evident that the other party bore ill intent for Su Luo. Even four Su Luos would not be able to defeat the combined strength of those four people, so it was logical to conclude that she should leave as soon as possible.
But Su Luo would not do that; she has always done the very opposite.
