"If the evil doctor isn’t completely eradicated, there will be subsequent actions, and the target will either be me, you, or An Ling and An Miaomiao."
"But choosing me is easier to act on because you all have families behind you, which makes it difficult to frame you. I haven’t been in the Ancient medical field for long, and to them, my foundation is unstable."
When it comes to her own affairs, she has always been unable to calculate them.
Moreover, her ability for Divine Calculation hasn’t recovered yet.
Ying Zijin also didn’t expect that the very place where Shanuodon was located would be so mysterious that it caused her more harm than changing Di Wu Yue’s Life Pattern.
Yet she always plans ahead and prepares for everything.
"Professor Zuo, I might not be available for hotpot with you today," Ying Zijin turned her head, "Let’s reschedule, I have something very important to deal with."
Zuo Li was puzzled, "What’s up?"
As soon as he finished asking, exclamations rang out from the nearby street.
Zuo Li looked over and saw two people dressed in ancient costumes walking by.
These were the guards from the Ancient Martial World stationed in the Ancient medical field.
Quite a few passersby were taking pictures.
"Miss Ying, we mean no offense," one of the guards stopped in front of the girl and said, "You are suspected of a murder case. Please come with us."
Hearing this, Zuo Li’s expression changed dramatically, and he stepped forward to stand between Ying Zijin and the guards: "Who are you? This is the entrance to Imperial Capital University! How could she be involved in a murder?"
"Professor Zuo, I’m fine," Ying Zijin was very calm, "We’re doing cosplay. My company is planning to shoot a historical drama soon. We’re just trying out the feel, and these are the lines."
Zuo Li was taken aback.
He looked at the two guards again and saw that they were indeed dressed in ancient armor, so he believed them somewhat.
What mattered most to him was that even though these two people were wearing ancient costumes, they didn’t look very tough.
If there was going to be trouble, it’d likely befall those two guards.
Zuo Li still vividly remembered Ying Zijin’s prowess.
She was the one who could send a member of Yi Character Team flying with a single punch.
There used to be a gang of thugs outside Imperial Capital University who frequently extorted money from students. Now, they all go around when they see Ying Zijin.
"Well, okay then," Zuo Li spoke, "Classmate Ying, just be careful not to hurt yourself."
He emphasized the word "careful" heavily and gave the two guards a pointed look.
The two guards felt somewhat baffled under Zuo Li’s gaze.
But the rules of the Ancient Martial World prohibit revealing ancient martial arts in front of ordinary people, so they didn’t say anything and took Ying Zijin away.
Compared to yesterday’s questioning of Meng Qingxue, today’s display of force was even greater.
Ying Zijin scanned the seating area with her eyes and had a guess in her mind.
Not only were the representatives from the three great clans of the Ancient medical field, Pill Alliance, and Heavenly Medical Sect present, but so were members from the Lin, Xie, and Yue families, as well as the Martial Arts Alliance, and several major clans.
Top powers gathered; the last time this happened, it was for the execution of an infamous ancient martial artist in the Ancient Martial World.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the girl walked calmly to the center and stood there, serene and composed from beginning to end.
Xie Nian narrowed her eyes and said leisurely, "You do look good. Evil doctors do seem to care about appearance. I don’t need to see the evidence; I agree with detaining her."
As soon as Xie Nian spoke, the families following the Xie Family naturally sided with her.
"Miss Nian, don’t be hasty," the Great Elder of the Pill Alliance frowned and said sternly, "We have already discussed the details with everyone just now. The evil doctor endangers the Ancient medical field and is also an enemy of the Ancient Martial World. The evidence is here, all pointing to you, Miss Ying, as a member of the evil doctor."
With that, he picked up the Token, "Miss Ying, is this yours?"
Ying Zijin glanced at it and calmly said, "Yes, it’s mine."
"So you’re admitting it’s yours? Or are you saying you lost it and the evil doctor just happened to pick it up?" Xie Nian smirked, her red lips curving into a giggle, "That sounds rather false, doesn’t it?"
"Miss Ying, it’s not just this Token," the Great Elder hesitated for a moment, "In your personal Alchemy Room, we found these items."
Cheng Jin pointed to the box on the table, "What is this?"
"It’s something similar to a Buddhist amulet," the Great Elder explained, "But very sinister, with poison made by the evil doctor, which, if worn for a long time, accelerates aging and leads to premature death."
