Chapter 686: 571 Slap in the Face, Top Noble Families Gathering [1 Update]
Everyone turned their heads back.
The Patriarch of the Foo Family hadn’t co, but an uncle of Foo Chen had.
The mont he looked in their direction, his eyes widened and his legs began to shake.
Foo Xi had not worn a mask or anything of the sort, her face was fully exposed to everyone’s view.
However, most people had never seen Foo Xi before.
Foo Chen’s uncle had only seen her portrait.
The impact of seeing the real person was overwhelming.
The next second, he “plop” dropped to his knees on the ground.
Foo Chen caught sight of the girl and subconsciously blurted out, “Master——”
Ying Zijin glanced at him.
Foo Chen promptly swallowed the title back.
Others didn’t recognize Foo Xi, but they did recognize Foo Chen.
The Vice Alliance Leader spoke up, “Young Master Foo Chen, who is this?”
“Ancient, Ancestor.” Foo Chen’s uncle finally caught his breath, speaking with a quivering voice, “Ancestor, how, how co you’re here?”
Had he known, he wouldn’t have attended the eting; his heart wasn’t strong to begin with.
He was quite frightened.
“Regarding the evil doctor, of course I had to co.” Foo Xi glanced over dispassionately, “Is that the corpse?”
The entire hall fell silent.
Everyone was shocked.
The Ancestor of the Foo Family?
If it was the Ancestor of the Foo Family, wasn’t that Foo Xi, the very founder of the Foo Family?!
Patriarch ng’s expression changed in an instant.
The Ancestor of the ng Family had not lived as long as Foo Xi; the one who founded the family had long since passed away.
In this respect, the ng Family simply couldn’t compare with the Foo Family.
“Senior Foo Xi, it’s not that we didn’t invite you, it’s just that such minor matters shouldn’t bother you.” The Vice Alliance Leader wiped the sweat from his brow, “You’ve always been in seclusion; how could you have ti for such trifles?”
Foo Xi simply stated, “I will examine the body myself.”
No one dared to move.
The doctor in charge of the autopsy, shivering with fear, handed over the sterilized silver needles.
One minute later, Foo Xi put down the silver needles, “The pill he took could indeed counteract poison, but his emotional fluctuations were too severe; he didn’t suppress the dicinal power in ti. Coupled with his Inner Strength being in disarray, his heart vessels burst.”
Hall Master Li: “…”
So, he really did die from becoming too agitated?
What an absurd way to die.
Foo Xi sighed softly.
The master remains the master.
Patriarch Xu did indeed die from bursting heart vessels, and the dicine was indeed a tonic.
But had there been even a slightly lesser amount of one ingredient, it would not have had this effect.
The Fourth Elder’s expression froze, “Is it truly a tonic?”
“Evil doctor, the Ancient dical field needs to be purged, but no one should be slandered.” Foo Xi’s voice grew cold, “Labeling the geniuses of the Ancient dical field as evil doctors, isn’t that a self-destructive path?”
Patriarch ng’s face turned red, and he had no choice but to bow, “The elder’s lesson is well taken.”
Foo Xi coldly stated, “Since she isn’t an evil doctor, apologize to her now.”
Once Foo Xi had spoken, the others could no longer remain seated.
Everyone, including Patriarch ng, apologized to Ying Zijin.
Patriarch ng took a deep breath, feeling unbearably stifled.
Who would have thought that Foo Xi would step in?
After Foo Xi watched them apologize, she then left.
The hall quickly emptied as well.
Only the Fourth Elder remained in his seat, muttering, “Not an evil doctor, gone, ha ha ha ha, gone!”
After the manic laughter, he beca vacant, sitting on the stone steps, staring woodenly at the sky.
The light in his eyes slowly extinguished.
Foo Chen was puzzled, “What’s wrong with him? Has he gone mad?”
“Not at all, he’s not mad, he’s just had it too rough.” Hall Master Li waved his hand dismissively, “You don’t know, his family was hard by an evil doctor; the remains they found were incomplete.”
Ying Zijin’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Were they taken for refining dicine?”
She had only encountered one evil doctor, Shi Fengyi.
Shi Fengyi liked to concoct drugs that manipulated people’s nervous systems.
But evil doctors were not limited to just one kind.
“Who knows? Because it couldn’t be traced.” Hall Master Li let out a sigh, continuing, “It was a long ti ago, twenty years past; he’d just been promoted to Elder, gained so authority, and was planning to bring his son and daughter-in-law from their hotown.”
“His daughter-in-law was carrying a pair of dragon and phoenix twins at the ti, and his grandchildren were also three years old; they were talented, already able to identify dicinal herbs.”
Hall Master Li added, “Miss Ying, you know, it’s not easy becoming an elder in the two hundred and twenty-three years since the Pill Alliance was established.”
Yingying Zijin nodded, “Yes, I know.”
An elder in the Pill Alliance must be a level seven mber, but not all level seven mbers can beco elders.
