Chapter 685: 570 Arrogant, Backing Up【2 more】
Evil doctors have their own circle and have formed a distinct lineage.
The Ancient medical field also acknowledges that they have an organization and leaders.
But due to scant evidence, it is truly difficult to determine who the evil doctors are.
Patriarch Meng estimates that even within the Meng Family, there must certainly be the presence of evil doctors.
If only one could be found, it would lead to the discovery of many more.
Regrettably, Shi Fengyi, the traitor that the Foo Family had captured the year before last, died too quickly and didn’t yield any useful information.
Her death has also made the other evil doctors even more cautious.
In this past year or so, not a single evil doctor has revealed themselves.
That’s what is truly horrifying.
No one knows whether these evil doctors are plotting something.
"Qingxue, this matter has nothing to do with you, go back and rest well," said Patriarch Meng. "I’ve asked the housekeeper to cancel all your appointments. You can start seeing patients again after the New Year."
Meng Qingxue gently pursed her lips, "Yes, Father."

Although no conclusions had yet been reached about this incident, the Pill Alliance soon went to the Ye Family to find someone.
But Ying Zijin was not there.
She was out shopping in the capital with Foo Xi.
Foo Chen, despite having a 2G phone, was also outside for the first time and was quite curious.
Most importantly, he was wearing a straight robe and had long hair, and with his good looks, passersby mistook him for an actor, with some even approaching him for photos.
Foo Chen finally managed to escape from a group of people and jogged forward, "I finally understand why you and the Ancestor opted to use face-changing techniques."
As he spoke, he sighed deeply, his expression filled with compassion, "Being too handsome is a sin."
He liked his face too.
Fu Yunshen, fiddling with a jade stone, slightly raised his eyebrows, "No, it’s because I’m too famous and can be seen everywhere, which easily causes trouble in real life."
Foo Chen spread his hands, "Ancestor, that’s not right, even if it’s a joke, you should draft it first."
How could someone so famous be seen everywhere?
Foo Chen turned his head only to face the large advertising screen across the street.
There was sound, there was an image.
It featured the only formal suit picture of Fu Yunshen that had circulated externally.
He had handsome features and deep-set facial contours.
Broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs.
"Let’s introduce this young man of nobility; he is the president of Venus Group in the Asia-Pacific Region, twenty-four years old this year..."
Foo Chen: "..."
This TM really can be seen everywhere?!
Foo Chen wiped off sweat, "What about the Ancestor?"
"Hmm? She?" Fu Yunshen’s eyes softened, and he chuckled softly, "She’s everywhere to the eye."
"Everywhere? I don’t see that, I mean—" Foo Chen stopped speaking halfway through his sentence.
Because with his vision surpassing that of an average person, he saw that each of the students who had just passed by had Ying Zijin as their phone screensaver.
"..."
The outside world is somewhat frightening.
Foo Chen couldn’t help but wrap his long robe more tightly around himself, "Then, Ancestor, what distinguished identities do you and the Ancestor have in the Secular World?"
"I’m a wastrel, and your Ancestor," Fu Yunshen went to buy milk tea, "She claims to be a Fortuneteller, or just an ordinary person."
Foo Chen: "???"

Ying Zijin hadn’t planned to return to the Ancient Martial World so early, but the Pill Alliance had surrounded the Ye Family, barring entry and exit.
Since the Pill Alliance was just investigating, they weren’t as fierce as ancient martial artists, and so they did not coerce the Ye Family members.
Upon Ying Zijin’s return, Patriarch Ye immediately stepped forward, lowering his voice, "Miss Ying, why have you come back? You shouldn’t have returned."
"They actually say that you are an evil doctor and want to take you back for questioning, isn’t this a joke?"
If there were evil doctors, would their Ye Family still be alive?
Which evil doctor simply uses a few silver needles on someone and elevates them to an Ancient Martial Grandmaster?
Do evil doctors deserve such treatment?
The two Guard Captains also knew about Ying Zijin, and they exchanged glances, "Miss Ying, we are acting under orders; there is nought we can do."
After all, the harm done by evil doctors is indeed substantial; no potential clue could be overlooked.
Ying Zijin shook her head slightly towards Patriarch Ye, "Don’t worry."
The pill she had refined contained no poison at all.
Upon a real investigation, nothing would be found.
Ying Zijin said indifferently, "Let’s go."
The guards looked at each other, and without really detaining the girl, followed her lead.
The Pill Alliance meeting was still ongoing.
Hall Master Li was also there, and he couldn’t help but feel anxious, his voice very low, "Didn’t I send you a message? Why did you still comply so obediently and come?"
Ying Zijin took the only empty seat, her expression composed, "Just here to play."
Hall Master Li: "?"
Patriarch Meng glanced at the girl, his gaze carrying scrutiny.
This was his first time seeing Ying Zijin.
It was undeniable that any female within the Ancient Medical Field or the Ancient Martial World would pale in comparison before her.
Such beauty should not exist.
The autopsy of Patriarch Xu was occurring right beside them.
The ancient medical practitioners were accustomed to seeing dead bodies and felt nothing out of the ordinary.
Before long, the ancient medical practitioner in charge of the autopsy handed over the report, "Vice Alliance Leader, the autopsy result is out."
The Vice Alliance Leader took the report, looked at it, and his face immediately darkened.
With a raise of his hand, he flung the report onto the table and spoke indifferently, "Take a look for yourselves."
The report quickly made a round and finally returned to the hands of the Vice Alliance Leader.
The autopsy result showed that Patriarch Xu indeed died from an explosion caused by the medicine refined by Ying Zijin.
At this, Hall Master Li didn’t know how to speak, worried.
He believed that Ying Zijin was not an evil doctor.
But the fact that she used medicine not to save a person, but to kill instead, indeed violated a major taboo of the ancient medical community.
Had it not been discovered, they could have turned a blind eye, but now it had nearly spread to the point where everyone in the ancient medical community knew about it.
This was trouble.
Even if Ying Zijin was not an evil doctor, having done this, she would become a target for everyone in the ancient medical community.
"Indeed, an evil doctor!" the Fourth Elder stood up abruptly, "Vice Alliance Leader, we must arrest her immediately!"
The Vice Alliance Leader waved his hand and looked at the girl, "Do you have anything to say?"
"Hmm," Ying Zijin replied slowly, "You have made a mistake in your investigation. I haven’t poisoned anyone."
"What are you still arguing for? Are you saying the autopsy result is fake?" Upon hearing this, the Fourth Elder was enraged, "Name your master and your fellow disciples so that you may still have a chance to live."
If she was not an evil doctor, his son and his family of four would not have met such a tragic death.
Evil doctors were too malevolent; they must all be eradicated.
Although it was a trial by the council, the atmosphere was tense. The girl leaned back in her chair, still calm and collected. ƒreewebɳovel.com
She tilted her head as if to smile, her expression serene and indifferent.
The Fourth Elder frowned, "What are you laughing at?"
Ying Zijin slowly massaged her temples, her tone light, "Nothing much, just that I feel you all are indeed getting old. Your medical skills are no longer progressing, to the point that you can only conduct superficial examinations of dead bodies now."
If the future of the ancient medical community depends only on a few geniuses like Foo Chen, it’s doomed to extinction sooner or later.
But whether the ancient medical community perishes or not has nothing to do with her.
It’s just that half of the ancient medical community is built on Foo Xi’s hard work, and as long as she exists, she might as well lend a helping hand.
Once these words were spoken, the room fell into silence.
The Fourth Elder scoffed, "So young and yet so arrogant. Can you name any renowned genius of your generation who was this presumptuous at your age?"
Except for Xie Nian.
Xie Nian’s arrogance was not just presumptuousness, but lawlessness.
But that was an ancient martial artist with an extremely high Combat Power, protected by the Xie Family’s Ancestor.
How can the physically weaker ancient medical practitioners compare? Where does her confidence to be so arrogant come from?
"Take these silver needles and puncture at the few acupoints I’m about to tell you," Ying Zijin said, not looking at the Fourth Elder as she tapped her fingers on the table. After naming seven acupoints, she nodded, "Let’s see how he really died."
The ancient medical practitioner in charge of the autopsy was startled at her words.
He furrowed his brows, deep in thought, and then his eyes suddenly brightened.
These seven acupoints...
"Enough!" the Fourth Elder burst out in anger, "Not only are you quibbling, but you also want to destroy the evidence and the body. Vice Alliance Leader, what more is there to investigate?"
"Since she won’t reveal the power behind her and the other evil doctors, then let’s arrest her and interrogate her under torture!"
The Vice Alliance Leader spoke, "Then let’s—"
Before he could finish, the ancient medical practitioner in charge of the autopsy suddenly interrupted, "Vice Alliance Leader, elders, I just tried puncturing the acupoints Miss Ying mentioned with the silver needles, and there’s a new discovery."
"What new discovery?" The Fourth Elder didn’t even want to listen, "The discovery that this man didn’t die from taking the medicine?"
The ancient medical practitioner said, "It’s not that, but indeed—"
"No buts!" The Fourth Elder slammed the table, "We can’t delay any longer; for every second we waste, there’s more trouble brewing."
"This logic, Patriarch Meng and the others should understand."
Patriarch Meng nodded lightly, "Indeed, detaining her is better than letting her roam free."
The representatives of the other Ancient Medical Families spoke amongst themselves, all in agreement.
The Vice Alliance Leader furrowed his brows, "Then let’s—"
"With such a huge matter regarding an evil doctor, how can you not invite me to ask a few questions?" A voice rang out, ethereally compelling, "Or are you saying that I’ve been out of sight for so long that I no longer have a say in this Ancient Medical World?"
Outside, Foo Chen supported Foo Xi as they walked in.
