Perspective Medical Genius Young Master-Chapter 1704 - 1695: Strength

However, before he could see Ao Cangsheng’s interesting expression, some spectators in the square had already begun to angrily scold Master Lu.

"Lu, do you have no shame? Repeatedly plotting against Master Yi, are you still worthy of being a Judgement Master?"

"That’s right! It’s truly a disgrace to have you in the Artifact Refining World!"

"Lu, doing such outrageous things, I curse that your ancestors’ tombstones emit smoke for eight generations, and your sons are born without big eyes!"

"Lu, walk the night path often, be careful not to run into ghosts!"

...

After the duel just now, some have seen that the mysterious Master Yi indeed possesses extraordinary skills in artifact refining that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Even if he was repeatedly plotted against by the Judgement Department, he managed to subtly retaliate every time.

Without words, without force, he vehemently slapped the faces of the ten old fellows in the Judgement Department.

Such an expert demeanor instantly won over many people’s hearts.

Now, the Judgement Department, in order to suppress Ao Cangsheng, brazenly changed the rules again, intending for Ao Cangsheng to be defeated.

Such despicable and shameless deeds instantly garnered criticism from some. They do not want to see a true artifact refining master being bullied by a group of hypocritical villains.

However, although these people were criticizing Master Lu and the Judgement Department, their numbers were ultimately too few.

Without the Emperor’s decree, just relying on them to change the Judgement Department’s actions is simply impossible.

Finally, the voices criticizing Master Lu and the other nine Judgement Masters were drowned out by the noisy crowd.

Seeing Master Lu’s insidious and triumphant expression, Ao Cangsheng couldn’t help but smile lightly, "I also think this Artifact Refining Holy Scripture should be more exciting."

"The rules added by Master Lu now just align with my thoughts, I find them quite appealing!"

"How unexpected, Master Lu is just like the worm in my belly, thinking the same as I do."

Upon hearing this, Master Lu’s smile instantly froze.

He originally wanted to see Ao Cangsheng angry, to see Ao Cangsheng curse loudly.

Only then could he severely humiliate Ao Cangsheng and slightly alleviate his earlier disgrace.

However, to his surprise, Ao Cangsheng seemed not angry at all. Not only was he not angry, but he was so willing to support his actions.

In an instant, Master Lu’s anticipation turned into a bucket of cold water pouring down on him.

The most infuriating part was Ao Cangsheng blatantly calling him the worm in his belly right in front of him.

The words were clearly aimed to ridicule and disgrace him.

"Unbelievable, I will definitely revenge this grudge. Master Yi, you just wait, today I will either ruin your reputation or admit I wasted my life in the Artifact Refining World!"

Master Lu resembled an enraged beast, glaring fiercely at Ao Cangsheng.

He clenched his teeth so hard they made a grinding sound, eager to charge forward and take a bite at Ao Cangsheng’s neck.

In the distance, upon hearing Master Lu suddenly announce such a shameless rule, Baili Chuanqiong instantly became furious.

"Master Lu, you’re openly suppressing dissent like this, isn’t it a bit too excessive?"

Furious, Baili Chuanqiong stood up with bloodshot eyes, angrily facing Master Lu.

Upon hearing, Master Lu chuckled coldly, "Your Highness, I merely wanted to make the competition more thrilling, why do you slander me like this?"

"Thrilling? Hahaha! Master Lu, whether the competition is more thrilling, everyone knows. Calculating Master Yi over and over again, isn’t it because you fear he might claim the Artifact Refining Holy Scripture’s top prize?"

Baili Chuanqiong laughed angrily, raising his hand and pointing at Master Lu.

Seeing Baili Chuanqiong angry, Master Lu’s inner rage eased slightly.

He tidied his clothes and said calmly, "Your Highness, if I remember correctly, Master Yi is competing for you, right?"

"To favor your subordinate, you use such baseless reasons to slander me, isn’t it a bit too mean?"

"You..."

Seeing Master Lu counter accuse, Baili Chuanqiong almost coughed up blood.

A thief crying thief with such righteous indignation, Baili Chuanqiong truly encountered it for the first time.

Slightly pausing, Master Lu continued, "The duel lasted so long, including the Emperor, no one found the Judgement Department’s rules problematic."

"Now, only Your Highness disturbs, claiming that I’m openly suppressing dissent, isn’t it a bit manipulative?"

"Entrusted by the Emperor, I am responsible for this Artifact Refining Holy Scripture, tirelessly yet without a word of complaint."

"However, Your Highness’s words truly chill my heart. Slandering me is one thing, but insinuating the Emperor, I can’t allow it!"

...

After Master Lu’s words, Baili Chuanqiong suddenly was at a loss for words.

Originally, he stood up with confidence, but after Master Lu’s speech, he seemed culpable.

After finishing speaking, Baili Chuanqiong started regretting, regretting his rashness.

Although he considers himself smart, comparing to a cunning person like Master Lu, he’s like a child.

Seeing Baili Chuanqiong in a bind, Baili Chunqiu, who hasn’t spoken, finally glared at him and shouted, "Chuanqiong, falsely accusing Master Lu, isn’t it a bit too much?"

"To entrust the Artifact Refining Holy Scripture to Master Lu naturally means trusting his fairness and seriousness."

"Now, doubting him and slandering him equals doubting me. What are you trying to do?"

"For a minor position, you employ such schemes, really disappointing me!"

"Father, I... I recognize my mistake!"

Listening to Baili Chunqiu’s reprimand, Baili Chuanqiong dared not argue, biting his lip and listening with a bowed head.

He didn’t expect his biological father would side with an outsider against him now. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Originally, Baili Chuanqiong intended to impress Baili Chunqiu and gain his favor.

This way, in the future struggle for succession, he could expect Baili Chunqiu’s support.

Now it seems, Baili Chunqiu doesn’t like him much.

Thinking this, deep inside, Baili Chuanqiong can’t help but feel a strong resentment towards Baili Chunqiu.

"Recognize the mistake? Hmph, not only recognize but apologize to Master Lu?"

Baili Chunqiu looked at Baili Chuanqiong with a frosty demeanor.

At these words, Baili Chuanqiong’s heart sank completely.

If Baili Chunqiu’s earlier words made him somewhat disheartened, now his heart has fallen into an icy abyss, utterly frozen.

Anyone with eyes can see that this was clearly Master Lu intentionally scheming against Ao Cangsheng.

And since Ao Cangsheng serves Baili Chuanqiong as a guest elder, naturally Baili Chuanqiong has the responsibility to protect him.

Yet now, Baili Chuanqiong’s rightful stance is labeled as unreasonable by Master Lu and Baili Chunqiu, which is hard for Baili Chuanqiong to accept.

"Calm down, Your Majesty! The Third Prince is young and ignorant, prone to making mistakes."

"Now that he recognizes his mistake and I haven’t suffered any harm, I think the issue should end here!"

Master Lu revealed a hint of urgency, suddenly advising Baili Chunqiu.

Upon hearing, Baili Chunqiu sighed, giving Baili Chuanqiong a disdainful glance, "If Chuanqiong had Master Lu’s magnanimity, I would certainly be more at ease!"

"Alright, since Master Lu forgives you, sit down! Remember this matter, I don’t want to see it again!"

The last sentence was apparently Baili Chunqiu’s warning to the Third Prince!

Seeing Baili Chuanqiong being reprimanded like this by Baili Chunqiu, Ao Cangsheng couldn’t help but smile.
