Destroying the body and erasing the traces.
"Impressive, impressive," Xie Nian’s eyes shifted as he clapped his hands, "Ying Zijin, truly impressive. You don’t regard your subordinates as humans, killing them after they serve their purpose. How cruel. I can’t compare to you."
This statement once again stalemated the already turning situation.
"Indeed," the Ancient Divine Doctor arrogantly spoke, "This video doesn’t prove that she isn’t an evil doctor. On the contrary, it confirms that she is."
"No, no, no, there’s another video," a guard hurriedly spoke up, "Look."
The second video showed Ying Zijin last night in a bar in the capital, staying from six in the evening until two in the morning.
"It takes three hours to return from the capital to the Ancient Martial World," Fu Yunshen said with his hands clasped, "I only look at evidence, not people. She was still in the Secular World at two in the morning, and Meng Qingxue was confirmed dead at eleven. How could she have come back to commit the murder?"
The Great Elder was left speechless.
Xie Nian sneered, "It’s not impossible."
Ying Zijin slightly raised her eyebrows, unhurriedly speaking, "Are you trying to say that I had someone impersonate me and then gave them my token to kill Meng Qingxue, deliberately leaving the token behind, all to make the Ancient Medical Field trace it back to me?"
Xie Nian’s expression turned dark, his face ashen.
Yes, that was indeed what she wanted to say.
But the logic was utterly flawed.
Asked in such a manner, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xie Nian’s face burned with pain.
In extreme embarrassment, she slammed the table and promptly stood up to leave.
"It seems that the evil doctor indeed picked up Miss Ying’s token and snuck in to kill Meng Qingxue," Cheng Jin asked, "What is the cultivation level of those guards who kept watch?"
Meng Xiong replied, "They have fifty years of Ancient Martial Cultivation, the highest in the Ancient Medical Field here."
Foo Chen rolled his eyes upon hearing this.
His ancestor was the one with the highest cultivation in the Ancient Medical Field.
Indeed, not many in the Foo Family were aware that Foo Xi had dual cultivation in Ancient Medicine and Ancient Martial Arts.
"That’s it. Miss Ying practices Ancient Medicine and lacks Ancient Martial Cultivation. How could she have bypassed your guards and gotten in?" Cheng Jin shrugged, "You have the evidence, but where’s the logic?"
Ying Zijin glanced at Cheng Jin.
As the young master of the Martial Arts Alliance and the sole disciple of the Martial Arts Alliance Leader, Cheng Jin naturally was not lacking in talent.
This year, at twenty-six, he was assessed to have seventy years of Ancient Martial Cultivation.
Only when one’s Ancient Martial Cultivation reached the level of two hundred years could they return to simplicity and control their powers effortlessly, appearing like an ordinary person.
If other martial artists couldn’t sense the flow of Inner Strength in her body, it was because she used medicine to conceal it.
"I deeply regret the situation in the Ancient Medical Field," Cheng Jin said, "In the next few days, I will send people from the Martial Arts Alliance to protect your safety. We must capture all the evil doctors!"
If the practitioners of Ancient Medicine were harmed by an evil doctor, it could eventually threaten the Ancient Martial World as well.
He left with Lin Qingjia.
The others dispersed as well.
Ying Zijin smoothed her clothes and extended her hand, "Can I have my token back now?"
The Great Elder frowned, "Miss Ying, we should really make you a new one. This token was retrieved from an evil doctor and might have issues."
No need," Ying Zijin lifted her eyelashes, "Don’t take too long. I’m afraid I might poison you to death with the wait."
The Great Elder broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly handed over the token, "Miss Ying, you are joking again."
Ying Zijin took the token and left through the doorway.
Foo Chen was waiting for her outside.
Ying Zijin turned, "Did you find out?"
"This... No," Foo Chen said awkwardly, "Our ancestor has been running around for two days and hasn’t found any trace."
"I thought you wouldn’t find anything; otherwise, the evil doctor would have been eradicated decades ago."
Foo Chen’s eyes lit up, he lowered his voice, "Master, did you tamper with this token? Can it help us find the leader of the evil doctors?"
Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow, "You’re finally showing some smarts, and with such long hair too. Not bad, worthy of praise."
