Two-Faced Monster King - C423
“However, if it was that girl just now, all she had to do was avoid suspicion. Or perhaps, she didn’t come and picked up the teacup fragment …” An aged voice came from the crowd.
Shui Qinan was surprised that she would be helped. Moreover, it was a stranger.
“Hua Jiao, you should know this yourself. Regardless of whether you admit it or not, my ability is above yours. The probability of harvesting poison herbs was zero. I, Shui Qinan, can guarantee this. ” Shui Qinan did not panic in the slightest when faced with danger.
“Furthermore, Hua Jiao, you yourself know very well just who it was that harvested the poisonous medicinal herbs. That medicinal herb is very similar to the Herbal Medicinal Seed. ” After Shui Qinan finished speaking, she gave a cold snort and her body began to tremble even more violently, so much so that she nearly fell down on her butt.
“No matter whose fault it is, I want to seek justice for my Patriarch. Before we find out the truth, no one is allowed to leave! ” The eyes of the person closest to the Yu Family Patriarch turned red, and it was obvious that he was crying.
With that, a group of people grabbed the Fourth Elder and the others. The strength of his hands was extremely great, making it impossible for anyone to break free.
However, there were still intermittent wails in the hall, making it hard to tell if they were sincere or not.
The Patriarch of the Yu Family was an old man around seventy years old. He had a kind expression on his face, and this was the Patriarch of the Yu Family that was on the portrait.
And now, the person standing in front of the Fourth Elder and the others was the youngest daughter of the Patriarch of the Yu Family. His youngest daughter had been doted upon by the family head since she was young. This point was fully proven after the death of the Patriarch. When the will was announced, all the assets were left to his little daughter, Yu Ruyan.
Yu Ruyan was an elegant woman. Her manner was dignified and polite, making people feel that she was very steady. But the only flaw was that her eyes were as red and swollen as the rest of the servants.
Yu Ruyan only felt that Shui Qinan looked extremely familiar, as if she had seen him before. An indescribable feeling of familiarity.
She herself was puzzled. Just like how Shui Qinan felt that the Yu Family and backyard were very familiar with each other. She couldn’t say it, but she felt that it was real. A woman’s sixth sense is always accurate.
Yu Ruyan advised her father’s personal servants not to lock them up. The servant thought it strange that the dead father of the young lady should not allow them to suffer in prison.
Wu Ruyan asked the butler to arrange a room for them, and apologized for what had happened. After issuing the order, Yu Ruyan left, leaving people puzzled.
Fourth Elder, Sixth Elder and the others found a secluded place on the way back to question Hua Jiao and his group about a few things.
“Little girl, I know your ability, you can’t possibly recognize the wrong medicine. You have a gift for that. I don’t believe in personal grudges or anything like that. If there really is a personal grudge, with your ability, I believe you won’t have to wait until today. ” The Fourth Elder’s tone of voice was extremely steady and was filled with trust in Shui Qinan.
When his gaze swept across Hua Jiao, his face darkened slightly.
“Hua Jiao, you have to speak the truth. Everyone has seen your ability. If Shui Qinan picked the wrong Herbal Medicinal Seed, then everyone would have picked the wrong Herbal Medicinal Seed. ” Her tone was serious, and her eyes were bone-chilling cold.
Hua Jiao carefully raised his head, and in that instant, he immediately lowered his head. His guilty appearance made people suspicious. Hua Jiao still did not say anything.
“Why do you always lean towards Shui Qinan? A wild girl of unknown origin! Who knows what was her purpose for coming to Holy Medicinal Pavilion, and what intentions she had! ” The Sixth Elder was infuriated. From the time that the girl had started her meal, her Holy Medicinal Pavilion had been in a state of turmoil for a long time. The Fourth Elder was biased towards her. And Hua Jiao, who had lived in the Holy Medicinal Pavilion since childhood, did not even trust him.
“I think this girl picked the wrong herb!” “You’re just a stubborn fool. Let’s see if you can escape when you die!”
“Then why didn’t you check it out after you got it back?” The Fourth Elder’s words were like a blow to the Sixth Elder’s face.
“I… I’m too busy to care about anything else! In short, if it wasn’t for the fact that this wild lass had picked up wrongly, how could such a thing have happened?! ” The Sixth Elder tried his best to brush himself off and splash all the dirty water onto Shui Qinan. However, to be able to distinguish himself like this made him feel even more like a ghost.
Shui Qinan only looked at the Sixth Elder coldly. The Sixth Elder’s hair stood on end from her stare. His hand had already been lifted high up.
Without the pain that she imagined, Shui Qinan saw her master grab the Sixth Elder’s hand. The two of them just stood there.
Hua Jiao’s figure moved, he had already appeared behind the Fourth Elder. He stretched out his hand, as if something had entered the Fourth Elder’s body.
The Fourth Elder’s body became unsteady. Shui Qinan hurriedly reached out to catch her master.
“Master, master?” Shui Qinan was extremely anxious, who would have thought that Hua Jiao would actually do such a thing? No matter how frivolous her nature was, she knew what the Fourth Elder was going to do to her.
The Sixth Elder was also stunned for a moment, but he did not say anything. Perhaps, in his heart, he had already hated the Fourth Elder, or perhaps, he had long since wanted to eliminate the Fourth Elder as soon as possible. The Fourth Elder was a huge obstacle in his path to power.
He only said, “Nonsense!” He flicked his sleeves and left. Hua Jiao had already run away.
Only Shui Qinan and the Fourth Elder, Master and disciple remained. The light of the fountain was as dazzling as ever.
The Sixth Elder was already waiting in front for Hua Jiao to arrive. Hua Jiao had originally been looking behind him and was worried that Shui Qinan would catch up to him, so he naturally did not see the Sixth Elder in front of him.
The Sixth Elder pretended not to understand as he asked: “Hua Jiao, why did you sneak an attack on the Fourth Elder?” Although the existence of the Fourth Elder threatened the Sixth Elder. However, this matter was in the end disgraceful. If others knew about this, not only would his status not rise, he might even be questioned by the Holy Medicinal Pavilion. Although it was not by himself, in the end, he was still unable to escape from such a huge information web.
Hua Jiao thought that the Sixth Elder really didn’t know, and thus continued to persuade him. Sixth Elder, didn’t you always want to get that seat? The Four Elders Guild is the greatest obstacle for you to advance. ”
The Sixth Elder’s expression was dark, even Hua Jiao knew what he was doing behind the scenes. Could it be that he had to pay attention to this kid in the future? Although Hua Jiao’s power was not good, the seller’s ability was strong. He was like a fighting chicken in a flock of chickens.
“Sixth Elder, please think about it again. Would you like you more or would you like Fourth Elder more?” You are undoubtedly the one who was sacrificed. Why don’t we work together? If you help me get rid of that stinking Shui Qinan, I can help you get that position. ” Hua Jiao laughed sinisterly, like a villain who would achieve his goals very soon. The expression on his face could be said to be plentiful, and his heart was full of unhappiness.
Shui Qinan put down the Fourth Elder and quietly followed them. Hearing their conversation, she was just about to take action and deal with the two disasters. Just as she was raising her hand, someone behind her had grabbed her.
