Chapter 603
The Dream Family’s Grand Elder stood by, not opening his mouth to refute Meng Qingxue any more, not a word could be uttered.
The facts and evidence were all laid out in front of him.
One of his grandsons had been killed by Meng Qingxue’s own hands.
Other people who had indirectly died for Meng Qingxue, and many more.
The Grand Elder only felt a chill in his heart.
Meng Qingxue was the most favoured in the Meng Family and had everything.
How had she become like this?
Meng Qingxue was tied to an iron frame by two, not even able to resist.
The ancient medical community’s punishment also continued the ancient traditions of the Chinese country.
A cold sweat broke out on Meng Qingxue’s back as she looked at the large splint in the guards’ hands.
She finally couldn’t restrain herself from screaming, “You can’t touch me! How many people have I saved? The Dan Alliance has recorded that nearly a thousand people, yes, I admit that people did die because of me, but these sinful powers are no match for my blessings!”
“If you touch me, you will be worse off!”
No matter how one counted, all those people had died from beasts and traps.
Dan Alliance Master Qiu Man glanced at her and snorted coldly, “Yes, our Dan Alliance has records of how many people you have saved, but now your information can be updated, having killed so many people, the evil doctors are no match for you.”
Meng Qingxue’s face turned pale.
She looked towards Meng Xiong, but Meng Xiong closed his eyes and stopped paying attention to her.
Fu Shen lowered his voice: “Master ancestor, did Meng Qingxue really harm so many people?”
“The Meng family and we were scattered at the beginning.” Ying recalled, “When I was coming down the mountain, I was seeing her push An Miao Miao, what happened to the others, I don’t know.”
That mountain was huge, plus all sorts of traps and beasts comparable to ancient martial arts clerics, and people were scattered.
But she had seen the bodies of several members of the Dream Family on the way, and judging by the marks on the ground, it wasn’t herself who had rushed towards the beasts.
And she had saved a few members of the Dream Family along the way down the mountain, and they didn’t even want to mention it to Meng Qingxue.
Fu Shi frowned, “Master, do you think she is an evil doctor?”
The evil doctor was also a big problem in her heart.
The disciple she had killed by the evil doctor was amazingly talented and extremely gifted, plus her blood had special effects.
If she could survive to this day, she would certainly be another legend in the ancient medical world.
“No.” Ying Zidian’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, “Evil doctors have the means of evil doctors, if she were an evil doctor, at least her bones wouldn’t be that bad.”
Evil doctors do have such means.
Renewing life.
Catching other people to make a medicine that, when taken, could prolong their lives.
This was the kind of medicine that no poisoner would do.
It was simply too cruel and against humane.
Fu Shen shook his head, “The Dream Family cleaning up is something that doesn’t have much to do with us, and the evil doctor still hasn’t been found.”
No matter what, the person who started this matter was still the evil doctor.
Fu Yunshen raised his hand and covered Ying Ziji’s eyes, “Yao Yao, don’t look, the poison in your body has just been cleared, you can’t see blood.”
As he said that, he shoved another bottle into her hand, “Drink hot milk.”
After the round of punishment, Meng Qingxue was dying.
She was placed on the ground, tears blurring her eyes.
The others who had come to the meeting got up and left one by one.
Meng Qingxue moved her lips, looking miserable.
How could she have fallen in love with Fu Yunshen?
It was probably because after being accustomed to seeing those noblemen from the ancient medical families, she suddenly saw a man who was killing and stern.
Meng Qingxue remembered it very clearly.
It was an afternoon when the sun was just right.
He had just come down from the ring at the Ancient Martial World that day, covered in blood, to get medicine from the Ancient Medical World.
Halfway outside the Dan League, he saved a bird that had fallen from a tree.
The sunlight fell on his handsome face, colouring his gentle eyebrows pale gold.
For a moment it was fixed.
She had never seen such a man who could combine gentleness and desperation so perfectly.
Cleaning a bird’s wounds with the same hands that had killed him.
With a fatal attraction.
Completely irresistible.
Meng Qingxue took one last look at Fu Yunshen and completely fainted.
**
Meng Xiong did not stay his hand on Meng Qingxue, obviously already completely disappointed.
But his heart did not feel good either.
After all, Meng Qingxue was a genius of the Meng Family that was rarely found in a hundred years, with high attainments in both pill-making and acupuncture.
The Dream Family had given too much resources and manpower to cultivate such a genius.
However, after this incident, although Meng Qingxue was also punished, those Dream Family sons and daughters who died because of her did not survive.
With the loss of dozens of the Dream Family’s younger generation, and without Meng Qingxue, the combined strength could be said to have been greatly diminished.
No longer did it have the ability to stand alongside the Fu Family and the An Family.
Meng Xiong had Meng Qingxue sent to the Meng Family’s old ancestral hall and left.
During the night, Meng Qingxue woke up from the pain.
She did not even have the strength to eat.
Footsteps sounded at that moment.
Meng Qingxue struggled to look up and saw a man.
“Seniors?” She was a little stunned, and opened her mouth, her breath like a wisp, “Is senior here to save me?”
She had known from a young age how to behave in order to please her elders.
As long as she knew how to behave and cry, she would be fine.
That’s why the older generation in the ancient medical community all liked her very much.
The man didn’t say anything, he just walked over and then disconnected the shackles from her body.
“Thank you, senior.” Meng Qingxue broke free of the chains and her body relaxed.
She knew that she had a blessing on her and would not die so easily.
Meng Qingxue tugged at the corner of the man’s coat, weak: “Please, senior, take me out, I need several kinds of medicine, when I recover, I will definitely repay senior.”
Hearing these words, the man slowly squatted down and lifted his hand.
Meng Qingxue had yet to reveal a smile.
In the next second, the hand fiercely squeezed her throat with the speed of lightning.
Clasping it in a deadly grip, it then lifted her up
Meng Qingxue’s eyes widened instantly and the extreme pain caused a cry of sorrow to escape, but she was soon sealed with another mute point.
Blood dripped from the corners of her mouth in a shocking trickle.
The man deliberately gathered his strength and let it out again little by little.
This method of death was simply a torture.
Before she died, Meng Qingxue realised that she had met an evil doctor.
Given this man’s status, even if he wasn’t the Evil Doctor’s commander, he was definitely at the top of the Evil Doctor’s hierarchy.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t say anything else.
Meng Qingxue fell to the ground, her eyes still open, but without any sound.
The door was opened and closed again.
The old ancestral hall was so silent that even the sound of a pin falling on the floor could be heard.
But the guards outside were oblivious to the commotion around them and were still keeping a tight guard.
**
The next day.
Imperial Capital University.
After taking her medicine, Ying Ziji went to the laboratory.
Her body had just recovered and indeed she was not yet very light-hearted.
There was nothing wrong with ordinary fighting, but when it came to fighting with ancient martial artists, there was still a difference single.
Fu Yunshen sent her out to the ancient medical community and let her recuperate in the imperial capital for a few days.
Then Ying Zidian received a life-threatening series of calls from Zuo Li.
She also did not go to school for over a month.
Tired of beating people up and doing a few experiments for fun.
“Student Ying, you’re finally here.” Zuo Li pointed to her head as if she had seen a relative, “Look, I’ve been waiting for you and my hair is bald.”
Ying Ziji: “……”
She calmly took out her phone and opened the payment code in WeChat.
Zuo Li was choked up: “No, no, no, I mean I’ve waited too hard for you, I’m looking forward to it.”
He still had more than a dozen boxes of hair growth shampoo at home, and it would be a monkey’s day before he could use them all.
“What’s wrong?” Ying Zidian put on his lab gloves and sat down in front of the table, “What’s another competition that will earn you money?”
“Ying, that’s not right, how can life be all about money?” The corner of Zuo Li’s mouth twitched, “Didn’t I tell you at the end of last semester that I sent your thesis to an institution that specialises in celestial bodies over in O-continent?”
“They got back to me in mid-March, saying that your paper was so novel that they were going to give you a cover and a column in the May issue of the scientific journal!”
To be able to get a cover for your first paper was indeed too impressive.
Ying gave an “oh” and nodded.
So there was no money to take.
What did that have to do with her.
So boring.
Ying Zidian looked down, opened the lab equipment and entered the pa*sword.
Zuo Li was so frustrated by the girl’s attitude of “only money can impress her” that she could only continue, “Honour! It’s an honour! Ying, after the journal is published, you will get the title of honour.”
“Do you know how old the last person who got an honorary title of this level was? Twenty-five, you’re only nineteen, you can apply for a world record, and when this honorary title comes down, the headmaster has said he’ll give you an exceptional professorship.”
Ying Zigui paused, finally getting a bit more interested: “There’s money to be won for applying for the world record?”
Zuo Li: “……”
This was no longer a conversation.
He stops talking completely and walks out.
Outside the lab, Zuo Li called the president of Imperial University, Chen Junxian, again, “Yes, that’s right president, when the May issue comes down, we must have a big conferral ceremony for Ying.”
“Yes, the Celestial Institutions Centre has also said that they have a new understanding in the research of parallel universes based on Ying’s paper.”
Zuo Li couldn’t help but sigh as well.
If the universe could then be expanded and developed, this would be a great advancement in human technological society.

The other side.
The Dream Family.
At noon, the butler went to bring Meng Qingxue her meal.
He handed Meng Xiong’s warrant to the guard before pushing the door in.
Once inside, the butler spoke, “Miss Qingxue, this is your meal for today, you-”
The words suddenly stopped.
The butler looked at the stiff, cold body on the floor with a horrified expression.
His throat tightened and he carefully stepped forward and tested Meng Qingxue’s nostrils.
It was gone.
Meng Qingxue was dead!
The steward could not believe his eyes, and his heart was filled with uncontrollable fear: “Someone! Someone come quickly!”
The guards ran in at this point and were all stunned at the sight before them.
In the front hall, Meng Xiong was still preparing for the funeral of the other members of the Meng family.
Just then, he saw the butler running over in a panic.
Meng Xiong frowned: “What is it? I thought you were told to deliver the food? Don’t be soft-hearted, how many measures did she do?”
“No, no! Old, old ancestor you said that you thought that Miss Qingxue might have some connection with the evil doctor, only she wouldn’t say anything, and that’s why she was locked up.” The butler flopped down on his knees, “And told us to keep a tight guard.”
“Good, indeed.” Meng Xiong immediately got up, “She was saved by the evil doctor?”
“No.” The butler gave a bitter laugh, “As you deduced, Old Ancestor, the evil doctors did come, but it was not to save her, they killed Miss Qingxue!”
Meng Xiong’s expression changed greatly, “Where is the evil doctor? Did you see who it was?”
“My subordinate is incompetent, I didn’t find any half-movement.” The butler’s head was buried even lower and his voice trembled, “The next day when my subordinate went in to deliver the food as you ordered, I found that Miss Qingxue’s body was all stiff, and those guards did not perceive that anyone had entered.”
“The initial projection is that it has been dead for more than twelve hours!”
That means that not long after Meng Qingxue was sent to the Old Ancestral Hall, an evil doctor went in silently and killed her.
The butler added, “She had a fatal wound on her neck, and blood was drawn, but, it was probably taken into the medicine!”
Meng Xiong couldn’t help but take a few steps back and slumped in his chair.
After all, it was still his own descendant who had been killed so cruelly, and he could hardly accept it.
It was the evil doctor again!
The culprit of everything was the evil doctor.
Meng Xiong took a deep breath, “Really, you just didn’t see it? No traces at all?”
“There are traces.” The butler’s fingers trembled as he took out a token, “This is something that Miss Qingxue was holding tightly in one hand, presumably she grabbed the evil doctor’s clothes when she was killed by him.”
“The strength of her grip was so strong that we could only forcefully break her hand to remove it.”
Meng Xiong took it and looked at it.
The token was specially made, and there were no more than ten people in the ancient medical community who had such tokens.
It was a pa*s given to juniors by the major powers, and a symbol of strength and status.
On it was one word.
Ying.
Chapter 604
The great families of the ancient medical world can be counted on the palm of one’s hand.
Meng Xiong only knew one surname, Ying.
Ying Zidian.
The newest genius in the ancient medicine world had already overshadowed Fu Shen.
Although Fu Shi did not have a superficial attitude, he obviously admired her too.
Yesterday, Meng Xiong had even thanked Ying Zidian for saving some members of the Meng family.
How does this ……
Meng Xiong’s hand shook and the token fell to the ground.
The steward was still kneeling on the ground, not daring to let out his breath.
When he first saw the token, he also found it unbelievable.
But when he thought about it carefully, it wasn’t unreasonable.
Ying Zigui had indeed risen too quickly in the ancient medical community, in just half a year’s time.
As soon as she arrived, she had displayed unparalleled pill-making skills.
It was expected that acupuncture wouldn’t be any worse.
Moreover, she had lived in the secular world before and had no resources at all, so where did she get all her medical skills from?
It was unbelievable.
But if she was an evil doctor, then indeed she was able to rely on crooked methods to achieve quick results.
This was the reason why the Dan Alliance had thought that Ying Ziji was an evil doctor in the beginning.
“This is no longer something that we can decide.” Meng Xiong was a little tired, “I guess the news has already spread to the ancient martial world by now, and it can’t be hidden, so let’s do what we have to do.”
**
Ancient Martial Realm.
Martial Alliance headquarters.
In the study.
A young man was reading a book.
This was the young master of the Martial Dao Alliance, Cheng Jin.
He was not the son of the Martial Dao Alliance’s alliance master and was the only personal disciple.
An escort buttoned the door.
Cheng Jin did not look up: “Come in.”
The guard entered, knelt on one knee and whispered, “Young master, Miss Qingxue …… has gone.”
Cheng Jin’s hand that was pressing on the book gave a beat.
He raised his head and his eyes narrowed with a few hints of danger: “You mean the person is gone?”
He had no feelings between a man and a woman for Meng Qingxue, it was just a doctor-patient relationship.
It was normal for the Martial Arts Alliance to pay and the Meng Family to treat the sick.
Meng Qingxue did have quite a big misunderstanding about him.
The guard’s voice trembled, “Yes, he was originally locked up for making a mistake, but he was killed by the evil doctor last night.”
“The Dream Family found evidence, and all three Lin Xie Yue families have gone to the Ancient Medical World and are preparing to interrogate the culprit, the matter is so important that they need to vote on it.”
“The evil doctor did it?” Cheng Jin frowned, “Who does the evidence point to?”
“Ying Zidian.”
“Oh, I’ve heard of that name, she’s very good at healing, I was planning to invite her to meet one day.” Cheng Jin nodded, “She’s an evil doctor?”
“The evidence says yes, but it’s not conclusive, the ancient medical community means to force the whereabouts of the other evil doctors out of her, especially the evil doctor-in-chief.”
“It seems that things are a bit complicated, the evil doctors have been hiding for so long, it’s unlikely that they will be exposed easily.” Cheng Jin stood up, “I’ll go and take a look.”
After walking a few steps, he seemed to remember something, “Who’s going over to the Lin family?”
The guard replied, “It’s Miss Qingjia, she just left, the Xie family is Xie Nian, and the Yue family is Yue Jingshan.”
Cheng Jin understood as soon as she heard that, “Miss Fuyi is still in seclusion, no wonder.”
Otherwise, the Yue family wouldn’t have sent Yue Yangshan for such a matter.
Cheng Jin called for two guards, “You guys come with me.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
**
On the other hand, the Imperial Capital University.
Ying Zigui helped Zuo Li to finish an experiment.
Zuo Li was very happy and wanted to invite her to a hotpot.
Ying Ziji thought about it and thought she could save a meal, so she agreed.
The most important thing was that Fu Yunshen was not here, so she didn’t have to be in charge and could eat hot pot with spicy red oil and drink a few bottles of coke.
Ying returned an emoji to Fu Yunshen that she was still working on her experiments, and two new messages came in on WeChat.
[Fu Yunshen]: Master, it’s over! Just now, news came from the Meng family, saying that Meng Qingxue died, yesterday!
Ying Zidian’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Immediately afterwards, a second message came.
[Volt Sink]: But what’s deadly is that she was killed by an evil doctor, and what’s even more deadly is that there was your identity token at the scene, Master! Everyone in the ancient martial arts world is alarmed, what should we do, Master? They all say you are an evil doctor! And you’re a senior member of the evil doctors!
Ying Zidian paused, looking light, and replied.
[Nothing, as expected.]
[Fuzhen]: Master, no, you can’t count that? Why is that expected?
The evil doctor’s aim was to eliminate all the geniuses in the ancient medical world.
Without eradicating all of them, the Evil Doctor will make his next move, targeting either me, or you, or An Ling and An Miao Miao.
But it’s easier to choose me because you both have families behind you, it’s not good to frame them, I haven’t been in the ancient medicine world for long, and in their eyes, I’m not well-grounded.]
When it comes to matters involving her, she has always been incalculable.
What’s more, her divine calculation ability had not recovered yet.
Nor did Ying Zigui expect that counting the location where Norton was located was so mysterious that it would hurt her more than changing the fate of the Fifth Moon.
But she always prepared for a rainy day and always had to prepare for something.
“Professor Zuo, I may not have time to have hotpot with you today.” Ying Ziyi turned her head, “Some other time, I have something very important to take care of.”
Zuo Li was puzzled, “What’s the matter?”
As soon as he finished asking this question, a shout of surprise rang out from the street next to him.
Zuo Li looked over and saw two people in ancient costumes walking past.
These were the guards of the ancient martial arts community stationed in the ancient medical community.
There were quite a few pa*sers-by taking pictures.
“Miss Ying, I’m sorry.” One of the guards stood in front of the girl and spoke, “You’re suspected of a murder case, please come with us now.”
Hearing these words, Zuo Li’s expression changed dramatically and she stepped forward in front of Ying Zidian: “Who are you people? This is the entrance of the Imperial University! How did she kill someone?”
“Professor Zuo, I’m fine.” Ying Ziyi was calm, “We were cosplaying, recently my company is planning to make an ancient drama to try out the feeling, here are the lines.”
Zuo Li froze.
After looking at the two guards again, he saw that they were indeed wearing ancient style armour, so he believed them for a few moments.
The main thing was that he felt that although these two men were wearing ancient costumes, they didn’t look like they could stand up to much fighting.
If something happened to one of the parties, it would only be these two men.
Zuo Li still had a vivid memory of Ying Zidian’s skills.
That was a pervert who could punch out even a member of the One Word team.
There used to be a group of gangsters outside the Imperial University who used to extort money from the students, but now they were all skirting around when they saw Ying Zigui.
“That, that’s fine.” Zuo Li said, “Ying, be safe, don’t get hurt.”
He put the word “safety” very strongly, and looked at the two guards with emphasis.
The two guards were a bit puzzled by Zuo Li’s look.
However, the rules of the ancient martial arts world were that you could not show your ancient martial arts in front of ordinary people, so they didn’t say anything and took Ying Zigui away.
Compared to yesterday’s interrogation against Meng Qingxue, this was a much bigger show today.
Ying Zidian swept his gaze over the seats and had an idea in his mind.
Not only were the representatives of the three great families of ancient medicine, the Dan Alliance and the Heavenly Medicine Sect there, the Lin, Xie and Yue families and the Martial Alliance were all complete, as well as several great clans.
The top powers were gathered together, and the last time this had happened was the execution of a notorious ancient martial artist from the ancient martial world.
The last time this happened was when a notorious ancient martial artist was executed in the ancient martial arts world. In full view of the crowd, the girl walked unhurriedly to the middle and stood there, calm and collected throughout.
Xie Nian narrowed her eyes and slowly spoke out, “Not bad looking, evil doctors are quite concerned about their looks, I don’t need to see the evidence, I agree to imprison her.”
Once Xie Nian said this, several clans that followed the Xie family also naturally sided with her.
“Miss Xie Nian rest easy for a moment.” The Grand Elder of the Dan Alliance frowned and spoke in a deep voice, “I have already spoken to you all about what happened just now, the evil doctors are endangering the ancient medical community and are also enemies of the ancient martial community, the evidence is here and it all points to you, Miss Ying, being one of the evil doctors.”
Saying that, he picked up the token, “Miss Ying, is it yours?”
Ying Ziji took a look at it and said indifferently, “Yes, it’s mine, but I just lost it two days ago.”
“Lost it? How come you just lost it and the evil doctor got it?” Xie Nian hooked her red lips and giggled, “Such words, quite fake, aren’t they?”
“Miss Ying, there’s more than just this token.” The Grand Elder hesitated for a moment, “In your dedicated pill refining room, we found these things.”
Cheng Jin pointed to the box on the table, “What is this?”
“Something similar to a Buddhist tablet.” The Grand Elder said, “But it’s insidious, it has a poison on it made by evil doctors, and when worn for a long time, it will cause people to age faster and die earlier.”
“A batch has already flowed into the secular world and into the temples, we sent people to recover all the cards without causing any damage to the general public.”
Ying Ziji lifted his chin, still calm: “Is that all?”
“These aren’t enough, huh?” Xie Nian listened and laughed, “Can you ancient doctors be a bit faster? I have things to do, vote quickly.”
“Miss Ying can’t be an evil doctor, I don’t agree with her imprisonment.” Fu Shen sneered, “If she was an evil doctor, how could she have come back to save me? Why not just let me be eaten by a tiger?”
“Sir Fu Shen, everyone knows that you and Ying Zigui are close.” An old man spoke up. An old man spoke up, “If you were dead, she would be more suspicious only if she were alive, and the old man agreed to be imprisoned.”
On the side of the Heavenly Doctor’s Sect, came the ancient divine doctor and another divine doctor.
Both of them wrote their consent.
Divine Doctor Gu stroked his beard, “The evil doctor is guilty as hell, this evidence is enough.”
Yue Yangshan also wrote an agreement.
Dan Alliance Master Qiu Man’s face sank, “I disagree, this is a frame-up.”
Each side argued.
Cheng Jin did not put pen to paper, but looked to Lin Qingjia who was at the side, “What do you think?”
Lin Qingjia wrote a disagree on the paper and faintly: “This kind of frame-up trick works quite quite well and the logic makes perfect sense, but a fake is a fake.”
Cheng Jin nodded, “Good.”
He trusted Lin Qingjia.
If Lin Qingjia said it wasn’t, then it wouldn’t be.
She had always been clever, otherwise even if she was a dual practitioner of ancient medicine and ancient martial arts, there was no way she could have survived in a place as treacherous as the Lin family until now.
Cheng Jin cast his vote to disagree with imprisoning Ying Zigui, then put his pen down on the table and leaned back in his chair with a hangdog voice: “Hurry up, I have things to do too.”
Xie Nian looked at Lin Qingjia, licked her lips and gave a very contemptuous laugh, “Lin Qingjia, I really don’t understand you, one less person to be on a par with you, not good?”
She didn’t care at all how Meng Qingxue had died.
It made no difference if she was killed by the evil doctor or if she had vomited blood and died.
To her, it was quite good for Meng Qingxue to die.
It saved her from the fact that in the future, when people outside mentioned the geniuses of the Ancient Medical World’s Ancient Martial World, Meng Qingxue’s name would be put in the same category as hers.
It was not worthy at all.
But who knew that after one Meng Qingxue had left, another Ying Zigui had come.
Xie Nian played with her nails as she absently swept a glance at the girl.
It was only an ancient doctor.
There was no threat to her.
Even Lin Qingjia could be crushed to death with her bare hands, not to mention Ying Zidian, an ancient doctor.
Xie Nian didn’t even care to strike at ancient doctors.
Ancient doctors have such short lifespans, and when they die naturally, she will still be alive.
A few elders counted the votes.
The final result was twenty-seven to twelve.
There were twenty-seven people who agreed to keep Ying Zigui imprisoned.
The minority obeyed the majority.
The Dan Alliance’s Grand Elder had a complicated expression, “Then we will follow your suggestions and imprison and torture Miss Ying until she speaks the truth.”
Even now, he did not believe that Ying Ziji was an evil doctor.
But the evidence was indeed here, and he was only an elder of the Dan Alliance, so he could not sway her at all.
“And the torture?” Xie Nian withdrew her thoughts of leaving, she crossed her legs and clapped her hands with a smile, “Torture is good, I love to see it, as bloody as possible, don’t keep your hands to yourself.”
The two guards had just brought up the torture tools and hadn’t moved yet.
“Why didn’t you call me for this kind of thing too?” A voice rang out, cynical, hooked in a smile but wrapped in coolness, “What, is the Hall of Justice no longer good enough? Or am I not worthy to attend the meeting? Hmm?”
Everyone looked towards the doorway.
Some people stood up in shock.
