Stunning Dragon Wife-Chapter 1268 - 1267: Artifact Refining Accident
"This..."
"How could this happen?"
Ma Jingyi's scream made everyone's face in the hall change!
No one present had expected such a sudden turn of events.
"Niece Jingyi!"
Ma Zhengdong stepped out from the crowd, quickly making his way to Ma Jingyi's side to check her injuries.
After examining her, Ma Zhengdong breathed a sigh of relief but was also quite troubled.
While Ma Jingyi's life wasn't in danger, the outbreak of spiritual energy from the Color Fixing Pearl had left her with numerous injuries.
Once these injuries heal, Ma Jingyi would inevitably be left with scars, becoming quite homely.
The other skin on her body now seemed to have turned into dead skin.
"Third Uncle, save me, it hurts!"
Ma Jingyi spoke in a very hoarse voice; although her injuries weren't fatal, the pain was unavoidable.
Hearing her words, Ma Zhengdong could only continue to offer comfort.
"Niece Jingyi, don't be afraid, the physician from Mirror Lake Villa is already on the way."
"My elder brother will be here soon upon hearing the news."
"Your injuries, the physician from Mirror Lake Villa should be able to handle them."
The last sentence was clearly meant to comfort Ma Jingyi.
Ma Jingyi's injuries were definitely challenging to treat, otherwise, so many people wouldn't remain disfigured for a lifetime.
The news quickly spread.
When the news reached Ma Zhengting's ears, he immediately brought the best physician from Mirror Lake Villa.
Soon after, a middle-aged man with a majestic presence entered the hall alongside the physician from Mirror Lake Villa.
"Third brother, what's going on here?"
Ma Zhengting, in a white robe, tall and imposing, carried an air of authority.
Upon entering the hall, he immediately sought an explanation from Ma Zhengdong.
The physician accompanying Ma Zhengting quickly stepped forward to tend to Ma Jingyi's injuries.
After being questioned by Master Ma Zhengting, Ma Zhengdong did not withhold the details.
He promptly began to explain:
"Elder brother, this is what happened."
"Zhang Xiao, the disciple of Grandmaster Hu Lie from the Flying Fox Sect, and Xia He, the disciple of Master Li Chengfeng from Xuanqi Sect, had a dispute."
"Afterward, the two decided to duel for each other's storage rings."
"And then..."
Ma Zhengdong, who had been in the hall, was well aware of the happenings there.
He recounted the events that had transpired to Ma Zhengting.
Upon hearing his third brother's account, Ma Zhengting understood the situation.
The origin of this incident was the arrogance of Zhang Xiaoshan, the true disciple of Divine Realm Master Hu Lie from the Flying Fox Sect, which angered Xia He.
Xia He, being petty, began to make things difficult for Zhang Xiaoshan.
Coincidentally, Zhang Xiaoshan wasn't one to be trifled with, and their verbal sparring escalated into a duel over artifact refining!
At this moment, Ma Zhengting's gaze fell directly on Zhang Xiaoshan and Xia He!
"Xia He, you must give me an explanation for this matter!"
"Otherwise, don't blame me for disregarding Li Chengfeng's face." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
The magic artifact that injured Ma Jingyi was refined by Xia He.
Although Zhang Xiaoshan also participated in the artifact refining duel, Ma Zhengting first held Xia He accountable.
Xia He's heart skipped a beat, but she reacted quickly.
"Master Ma, please calm down. I will find a way to heal Sister Jingyi's wounds."
"Although I'm at fault today, the root of this matter lies in this person's ignorance about artifact refining and constant denigration of my artifact refining technique."
"Whether for myself, my teacher, or the Xuanqi Sect, I must prove my refining methods."
"He repeatedly provoked and agitated me, causing my mind to ripple, which ultimately led to this refining accident."
Xia He clearly was very cunning, pulling Zhang Xiaoshan into the fray with just a few words.
Now, Ma Zhengting's gaze turned to Zhang Xiaoshan.
"I am already aware of what happened in the hall just now."
"As far as I know, Grandmaster Hu Lie from the Flying Fox Sect isn't proficient in artifact refining."
"Do you, who are under Grandmaster Hu Lie, really know how to refine artifacts?"
"If it's true, and you don't know how to refine artifacts, and this was all a sham."
"Then even if you're a disciple of Hu Lie from the Flying Fox Sect, I won't spare you lightly."
Ma Zhengting was very angry at this moment.
Mirror Lake Villa was the Ma family's territory, and such an accident happening to his daughter on their grounds wasn't just an affront to the Ma family?
As Ma Zhengting's voice fell, countless gazes around him now landed on Zhang Xiaoshan.
Everyone wanted to know how he would handle this matter.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Xiaoshan's expression remained quite calm.
He seemed completely unaffected by the terrifying aura from Master Ma Zhengting.
His tone was also extremely calm as he spoke.
"I said Xia He's artifact refining technique is abysmal, that's the truth."
"Everyone present even witnessed it firsthand, how could it be said to be a sham?"
"As for me not knowing how to refine artifacts?"
"If I don't know how to refine artifacts, then no one here would dare claim they know how."
