"I have no objection to you using the poisonous worms against Daqi, but using me as a pawn—now that, I do have an issue with." Bei Yun casually threw the powder in his hand onto the ground, then pulled a handkerchief out of his chest pocket to wipe his hands.
At these words, Qingye's expression stiffened for a moment, but then he quickly laughed it off, saying, "Divine Doctor Bei, I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you're saying."
"I've already discovered these worms, Prince Qingye. Are you still going to pretend you don't know anything?" Bei Yun asked, "Do you truly think I'm a fool?"
Hearing these words, the forced smile on Qingye's face gradually faded. He looked at Bei Yun with a sincere expression and said, "There is no one in this world bold enough to consider the Divine Doctor Bei a fool. The only reason I concealed this from you was because I was worried you might grow soft-hearted."
