Chapter 741: 602 Slap in the Face, Punishment! Cool Cool [1 Update]
He turned his head, "Please have Miss An come in."
Meng Qingxue was taken aback again.
She saw An Miaomiao walking in unharmed, her expression changed slightly, and she smiled softly, "Miaomiao, thank you for helping me on the mountain that day. If it weren’t for you, I might not have made it back."
"Meng Qingxue, stop pretending!" An Miaomiao had no more fondness for Meng Qingxue, "Before you were exposed, it was because you had everything, right?"
"I helped you, and you pushed me towards the poisonous snake, thinking it would eat me and buy you time to escape, didn’t you? You are truly disgusting!"
An Miaomiao took a deep breath, "All the other Meng family disciples were also pulled out by you to be used as shields, weren’t they? Why didn’t you die yourself?"
She still felt terrified when she thought about it.
If it hadn’t been for Ying Zijin who pushed her away, she would have died on the mountain too.
Meng Xiong said coldly, "Do you have anything else to say?"
"Ancestor, if you’re going to convict me just because of an outsider, then there’s nothing I can say," Meng Qingxue closed her eyes, very tired, "You can’t be unaware of how much I’ve contributed to the Meng family, can you?"
"Alright." Meng Xiong nodded again, laughed angrily, "An outsider’s words cannot be trusted, but a family member’s words can, right?"
Two more guards entered, supporting a young man.
The young man was the one who had been grabbed by Ying Zijin, preventing him from falling into a trap.
He was also injured, and spoke weakly, "Ancestor, what I said is absolutely true, the third and fourth brothers, and several others from the side branches, were all pushed to the ground by her."
Meng Qingxue had always been frail, and the people of the Meng family took great care of her, so they never suspected her.
As a result, they lost their lives in vain.
Although Meng Xiong had heard it once before, hearing it again, his anger was still surging uncontrollably.
Meng Qingxue’s lips trembled, "Just because Ying Zijin saved you, you speak for her?"
Hearing this, the young man sneered, "No, it’s because I didn’t see your true colors. Young Master Foo Chen was right, I used the heart of a petty man to judge the belly of a gentleman."
"But you, appearing generous on the surface and filthy at heart, are even more contemptible!"
It is always in life and death that people’s true hearts are revealed.
Not helping someone facing death can be understood, as everyone tends to be selfish at such times. freēnovelkiss.com
But to use others as shields is incredibly vile.
Meng Qingxue took a deep breath, "Yes, I admit it; I pushed them. But haven’t you always said my life is the most important? Their deaths are better than mine, right?"
She felt guilty, but not remorseful.
Since she was spoiled from childhood, she naturally assumed everyone should take care of her.
Everything had to prioritize her.
"Other people’s lives are not important? You caused the deaths of at least forty people, including your own blood cousins! The Great Elder took such good care of you, yet you didn’t see his grandson as human!" Meng Xiong raised his hand and fiercely slapped Meng Qingxue’s face, unable to contain his fury, "Now, confess to me honestly! Have you become an evil doctor?"
"Is this training exercise something you had arranged with other evil doctors in advance, intending to harm the geniuses of Ancient Medicine?!"
Meng Qingxue was shocked, "How could I possibly be an evil doctor? Ancestor, my mother died because of an evil doctor!"
"It’s not up to you to decide. Please invite Elder Foo Xi, the Pill Alliance Hierarch, and the Ancestor of the An Family over," Meng Xiong stood up, "A public interrogation, full punishment applied, let’s see if you speak the truth!"
**
The Foo Family.
Ying Zijin was finally able to get out of bed.
"Master Ancestor, you finally woke up." Foo Chen ran over, still feeling guilty, "It’s all my fault. If you hadn’t come back to find me, you surely wouldn’t have been poisoned."
"What are you talking about?" Ying Zijin looked up, "If you hadn’t distracted that tiger, those people would have died. If I hadn’t gone looking for you, I would be the one feeling guilty..."
Her fingers trembled.
She had still failed to save everyone.
Fu Yunshen’s brows moved slightly, "It’s not your fault, it’s the evil doctor."
"It’s the evil doctor," Foo Xi came over, "The Meng Family found that over forty of their people died because of Meng Qingxue. They are calling us over now to interrogate the whereabouts of other evil doctors."
"Is Meng Qingxue the leader of the evil doctors?" Foo Chen suddenly realized, "Doesn’t that mean the Meng Family is a nest of evil doctors?"
If Meng Qingxue was an insider for the evil doctors, their actions would indeed be much easier.
Ying Zijin shook her head faintly, "It’s not her, she does not have the ability."
Fu Yunshen picked up a spoon and began feeding her porridge, speaking slowly, "To be able to set traps on the mountain where you were training and to lure in huge beasts, this evil doctor leader must hold a high position and be very good at disguising themselves."
He lifted his eyelids slightly and smiled, "Maybe you’re very familiar with them, and you might have even paid them your respects."
"How, how terrifying," Foo Chen wrapped himself tighter in his clothes, "Ancestor, stop, I’m already scared to death."
Foo Xi ignored Foo Chen, "Master, are you going to go?"
"Let’s go and see," Ying Zijin nodded, "She may not be the evil doctor leader, but she could indeed be an evil doctor."
Foo Xi nodded, and a crowd of people went to the Meng Family.
By the time Ying Zijin and Fu Yunshen arrived, the An Family and the Pill Alliance had also sent representatives.
In the center of the hall,
Meng Qingxue was still sitting in her wheelchair, but her expression was disheveled, no longer bearing the detached appearance she once had.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the certification and physical evidence are all displayed here," Meng Xiong announced, placing the evidence found on the mountain on a table. "The Meng Family has faced a disgrace, and those who err must be punished."
"This is the Hand Command signed by all ancestors of the Meng Family Elders Council, concerning the punishment of Meng Qingxue."
Foo Xi glanced at it and had no interest in the Meng Family’s affairs, merely commenting indifferently, "If you have decided, then that is well."
Neither the leader of the Pill Alliance nor the Ancestor of the An Family spoke.
Meng Xiong nodded: "Then—"
"I want to make a phone call to the Young Master of the Martial Arts Alliance!" Meng Qingxue bit her lip, "You’re locking me up in permanent confinement without his consent, even planning to torture me—are you really not afraid he will hold you accountable?!"
She absolutely could not be confined.
She knew clearly the condition of her body.
Once she stopped her medication, within seven days, her bodily functions would completely cease, and she would slowly die.
Meng Xiong frowned.
There was such a belief.
Meng Qingxue often treated the Young Master of the Martial Arts Alliance, and the young master had deep-seated feelings for her.
If the Martial Arts Alliance intervened in this matter, they indeed might be able to save Meng Qingxue.
Meng Qingxue, trembling, took out the mobile phone given to her by the Meng Family.
She not only made the call but also turned on the speakerphone.
"Miss Qingxue?" the young man’s voice was clear. "I know about the events that happened in the Ancient Medical Field. Are you alright?"
"I, I’m fine," Meng Qingxue tried to contain her excitement, "I would like you to come to the Ancient Medical Field right away, there’s something urgent."
While saying this, she glanced deliberately at Fu Yunshen.
She wanted to tell him that even without him, she had better options.
The status of the Young Master of the Martial Arts Alliance in the Ancient Martial World was equivalent to the primary core member of the Three Great Ancient Martial Families.
However, Fu Yunshen was not paying attention to the meeting at all this time.
His long fingers were playing with the girl’s black hair, teasing and tempting.
Ying Zijin, expressionless, said: "Stop playing around. During the day, be mindful of the impression you’re making."
"I’m practicing braiding hair." Fu Yunshen did not let go and continued teasing, "If we have a daughter later, I can braid her hair."
"..."
Complete indifference.
Meng Qingxue’s heart seized, and the taste of rust surged in her throat.
"I’m sorry, Miss Qingxue, but I’m tied up for the next few days," the Young Master of the Martial Arts Alliance said at that moment, "I’m currently training someone in new martial arts moves."
"Ah, sorry, she’s calling me. I have to hang up."
Before Meng Qingxue could react, the call ended just like that.
All eyes converged on Meng Qingxue, filled with mockery and pity.
Staring blankly at the phone, Meng Qingxue suddenly recalled an important matter.
She had been invited by the Martial Arts Alliance to treat their Young Master, and although there was much communication, he had always addressed her as "Miss Qingxue."
No wonder.
Because he had never seen her as someone particularly close.
Could it be, all this while she was merely deluding herself?!
How could this be?
Meng Qingxue’s face turned ashen.
An Miaomiao spoke up with cold sarcasm: "Meng Qingxue, weren’t you saying the Young Master of the Martial Arts Alliance would come to protect you, to give you support? Where is he? Go on, call him."
"The Martial Arts Alliance is not short of money, they could fund medication to keep you alive for a decade or more, oh, but wait, I forgot— in the Young Master’s heart, your life is less important than accompanying others, and he doesn’t have the time to find you medication. You really know how to flatter yourself."
Meng Qingxue’s face turned even paler.
Meng Xiong said coldly: "Administer the punishment! Find out the whereabouts of any other evil doctors."
Two guards approached, carrying a huge iron frame.
