Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 249: The Insider’s Conspiracy
The guard pressed his lips tightly, thought for a moment, and then tentatively asked, "Since this illness came from the current world, perhaps the young lady has a way to cure everyone’s illness."
Upon hearing this, Xia Liang couldn’t help but give him a second glance.
The guard had previously been clearly targeting Xia Mian, and Xia Liang originally thought he would suggest driving Xia Mian and the others away, but unexpectedly, he wanted Xia Mian to cure the illness for everyone...
Xia Liang narrowed his eyes deeply, a hint of amusement in them, "You’re right, go call the young lady over."
The guard responded affirmatively and turned to leave the room.
As he stepped out, a gleeful, conspiratorial smile flashed in his eyes.
This illness was certainly not from the current world.
Xia Mian probably hasn’t even seen it; how could Xia Mian possibly cure it!
This time, Xia Mian’s reputation in the Divine Clan is sure to be tarnished, and she still dares to dream of being the young lady of the Divine Clan?
What a joke!
The guard left quickly and returned just as fast.
Behind him, Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan walked side by side at a leisurely pace.
The atmosphere in the Divine Clan has been rather unusual lately; naturally, Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan have both noticed it. They didn’t think much of it when several elders fell ill, but as more people in the Divine Clan succumbed, Xia Mian gradually realized that something was amiss.
It wasn’t until Xia Yan shouted that phrase that Xia Mian became aware of a conspiracy aimed at her, bringing this disaster to the Divine Clan.
Xia Mian never considered herself a saint; she originally didn’t want to get involved in the matters of the Divine Clan at all.
But now, since someone has clearly decided to target her, she absolutely won’t let the person behind the scenes get away with it!
"Did you call for me?" Xia Mian entered, glancing at Xia Liang. She held no particular feelings toward Xia Liang, but after all, he was her grandfather in a biological sense, so she would at least acknowledge him.
"Everyone’s saying that this illness is a disease from your world and believes you can cure it. What do you think?" Xia Liang asked, his gaze fixed intensely on Xia Mian, his tone gentle as he solicited her opinion.
Xia Mian slightly curled her lips, "People truly have a lot of faith in me!"
These days, everyone has seen her impressive Taoist Techniques, considering her skills formidable, but none had seen her perform any medical arts, yet they assumed she could heal?
Ha, this pit they’ve dug is quite deep.
"Young lady, with your extraordinary talents, this small matter shouldn’t be too difficult for you, right?" The guard who had conveyed the message before smiled ingratiatingly, flattering Xia Mian.
Xia Mian turned her head to look at him, "I can give it a try."
Xia Liang slightly squinted, "If you’re not confident, you can choose to refuse."
Xia Liang understood clearly what it meant if Xia Mian agreed to help cure everyone.
If she succeeded, she’d earn a good reputation among the Divine Clan members. If she failed, the good reputation she had built up in the Divine Clan would be ruined!
"No worries, it’s not a big problem." Xia Mian raised her hand, gently rubbing her wrist.
Since some people are waiting to see her make a fool of herself, she’ll give them a surprise instead!
"Good granddaughter, you have the same demeanor I had in my youth!" Xia Liang laughed heartily, stroking his beard.
"Come, go see with Grandpa." Xia Liang said, standing up and leading Xia Mian out the door.
"Let’s go to the elders first!" Xia Liang decided for Xia Mian.
Xia Mian hummed in agreement without any objection.
The elders were the first to fall ill, and it’s already been three days.
In those three days, even though the elders were cultivators, they were tormented by the illness to the point of being unrecognizable.
As Xia Mian followed Xia Liang into the room of the three elders, they lay on the bed moaning as if the groans could ease their pain.
Seeing Xia Liang bringing Xia Mian in, the elders immediately looked as if they’d seen their savior, their eyes lighting up instantly.
This time, during the clashes between the Divine Clan and the Mystical Sects, they had been several times at the brink of death, and if not for Xia Mian’s timely appearance, they would have perished completely!
So, even though some unfavorable rumors about Xia Mian were circulating within the Divine Clan, everyone tacitly chose to disbelieve them.
The young lady is a rare genius in the Divine Clan for a century.
Throughout history, geniuses have always been envied.
Some people are jealous of the young lady and want to tarnish her reputation, they absolutely won’t become accomplices to such people!
"Young lady!" The Great Elder, eyes full of tears, cried out, "Young lady, don’t pay any mind to the rumors outside. This collective illness in the Divine Clan has nothing to do with you!"
Xia Mian lightly smiled with a curl of her lips, "I certainly know it’s not related to me."
Pausing, Xia Mian slowly walked up to the Great Elder, "Extend your hand."
The Great Elder obediently extended his hand.
Xia Mian extended two fingers to check the Great Elder’s pulse, her expression growing serious.
"Good granddaughter, how is it?" Xia Liang asked eagerly, looking at Xia Mian with concern.
Xia Mian withdrew her hand, gently pressed her lips together, "It’s not an illness, it’s poison."
"Someone has poisoned the people of the Divine Clan." Xia Mian slightly narrowed her eyes in thought.
"Poison?" Xia Liang’s brows furrowed tightly.
Previously, someone had tampered with the cultivation resources of the Divine Clan, causing everyone to be poisoned. Just when everyone had barely recovered, who could have poisoned them again?
"Can you identify what kind of poison it is?" Xia Liang squinted, his expression serious.
Xia Mian took out a handkerchief, wiping her hands lightly as she spoke nonchalantly, "This poison isn’t meant to kill; the person behind it doesn’t intend for the Divine Clan to die, just to create an illusion that everyone is a victim..."
The real reason behind creating such a facade is clear: to drive Xia Mian away!
Xia Mian not wanting to inherit the Divine Clan is one thing, being plotted against is another.
She can leave, but not in a way that allows herself to be bullied and slandered.
"Young lady, this poison makes us unable to eat or sleep well, our bodies feel hollowed out, and every day we’re exhausted. It’s unbearable!" The Great Elder pleaded to Xia Mian, "Please, if you can detoxify us, help us quickly!"
The Second and Third Elders nodded in unison, bowing their heads like pecking chickens.
Xia Mian smiled, "Of course I can detoxify you, it’s nothing significant."
After speaking, Xia Mian turned back and gave a meaningful glance to the guard of the Divine Clan who had been watching them closely.
Upon catching Xia Mian’s gaze, the guard shivered slightly, sheepishly smiling, "The young lady truly is omnipotent! A versatile genius indeed! Having a genius like the young lady in the Divine Clan is truly a blessing for the Divine Clan!"
Xia Mian casually curled her lips, "It’s a pity that some people just can’t stand to see the Divine Clan prosper, envious of virtuous talent, resorting to acts that harm others without benefiting themselves!"
