Baili Xia was startled and then felt a surge of grievance, "How come I didn't know Mr. Nangong could be intimidating?"
Seeing his usually serious demeanor, she was truly enlightened to find that he could also jest with others.
"There are many things you don't know,"
Nangong Xu merely glanced at her dispassionately and said no more.
He signaled for her to pull up a chair and sit down next to the platform, his expression becoming serious again.
"Starting today, I won't just be studying poisons on my own, I will be teaching you as well. But the process might be dangerous, do you still want to learn?"
Baili Xia glanced at the bottles under his long fingers and instinctively swallowed.
Dealing with poisons was naturally particularly dangerous; a moment of carelessness could indeed lead to death.
But... she really wanted to learn, what should she do?
"Can you guarantee... that I won't lose my life?" she asked quietly.
