Li Li's composed and meticulous nature played a critical role at the decisive moment. With just a light stab, she inflicted Mei Ji with deadly poison, leaving her no chance to use the Jade Melting Pill.
A silver needle glinting with cold light fell from Li Li's hand to the ground, emitting an exceedingly faint sound. The tip of the silver needle was deeply blackened.
This silver needle laced with deadly poison was the very weapon Qin Sisi had used to kill a guard when she was imprisoned in the dungeon. Later, when she was attacked by Elderly Fourth, the needle slipped from her grasp and fell.
Jiu Ge had arrived in time to save Qin Sisi and gave Elderly Fourth a thorough beating. Amid the chaos, Li Li had seized the poisoned needle.
She had preserved it cautiously, waiting just for a day like this.
