Chapter 747: 605 Ying Zijin: Who gave you that misconception? [1 update]_2
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 statent 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 ng Qingxue was confird dead at eleven. How could she have co 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 soone impersonate and then gave them my token to kill ng Qingxue, deliberately leaving the token behind, all to make the Ancient dical Field trace it back to ?”
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 extre embarrassnt, she slamd 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 ng Qingxue,” Cheng Jin asked, “What is the cultivation level of those guards who kept watch?”
ng Xiong replied, “They have fifty years of Ancient Martial Cultivation, the highest in the Ancient dical Field here.”
Foo Chen rolled his eyes upon hearing this.
His ancestor was the one with the highest cultivation in the Ancient dical Field.
Indeed, not many in the Foo Family were aware that Foo Xi had dual cultivation in Ancient dicine and Ancient Martial Arts.
“That’s it. Miss Ying practices Ancient dicine 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 dicine to conceal it.
“I deeply regret the situation in the Ancient dical 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 dicine were hard 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 so smarts, and with such long hair too. Not bad, worthy of praise.”
After speaking, she clapped for him perfunctorily.
Foo Chen: “???”

Xie Family.
Xie Nian’s face was cold as he recounted to the Patriarch Xie everything that had happened at the eting.
But Patriarch Xie thought deeply for a long ti before taking out a photo, “Nian Nian, the Ying Zijin you saw, was it her?”
Xie Nian glanced at it casually, “Yes, it’s her. What about it?”
“It really is her.” Patriarch Xie frowned, “Frankly speaking, this is the person whom the Great Elder predicted for your elder brother after drawing his life chart. Only if she marries your brother will he be able to wake up.”
Xie Nian scoffed lightly, “Her? Is she worthy? Doesn’t she know her own worth? Can anyone who wishes to marry my brother do so?”
“That’s not the main point.” Patriarch Xie waved his hand, “I’m wondering if she might have any connection with Shadow? The last ti Fengfeng was captured, it was Shadow’s n who made a move.”
“Father, you’re overthinking it,” said Xie Nian noncommittally, “In the Ancient Martial World, power is respected. Shadow even rejected , so why would they take an interest in her?”
She, of course, also wanted to play around with Shadow.
Only her thoughts had moved, but she hadn’t been successful.
So, she set her sights on Nie Yi.
Xie Nian continued, “It serves Xie Feng right to be captured. At that ti, you didn’t investigate thoroughly and found out she’s an ancient dical practitioner. Martial artists attacking those in the Ancient dical Field, and Judicial Hall intervened. Of course, they had to take action.”
Patriarch Xie pondered a mont, “Indeed, although your elder brother has improved, he has still not awakened. Now, Ying Zijin holds a high position in the Ancient dical Field, so it won’t be easy to have her marry your brother.”
Ying Zijin, at present, held a similar status to Foo Chen, protected by both the Ancient dical Field and the Ancient Martial World. There was no way to force her.
Indeed, martial artists should not harm those in the Ancient dical Field.
Xie Nian indifferently said, “There’s always a way.”
After saying goodbye to Patriarch Xie, she went to the training field to practice martial arts.
Patriarch Xie considered for a long while and decided to discuss the matter with Madam Xie.

Night.
Pill Alliance.
One thing after another had occurred recently, and the evil doctor had even infiltrated the Pill Alliance secretly, leaving everyone within the Pill Alliance feeling uneasy.
Ying Zijin was in the Alchemy Room, sorting through dicinal herbs.
Fu Yunshen helped her maintain the fire, “After this conference, have you figured out who it was?”
“I have figured it out, and I have evidence,” Ying Zijin said with her head lowered. “I’m now absolutely sure. With that identity, no wonder they’ve been able to hide for so long without even those close to them suspecting anything.”
Fu Yunshen nodded, “Shall I go?”
“No need,” Ying Zijin wiped her hands and stood up. “I’ll take a look.”
She left the Alchemy Room, and ten minutes later, arrived at a room.
Ying Zijin raised her hand and knocked on the door.
The person inside said, “Co in.”
Ying Zijin entered and then closed the door behind her.
The room was silent.
The person turned around and sighed, “Today’s eting was really hard on you. I didn’t expect the evil doctor to be so cunning as to fra you for it.”
“When you took my token, you must have thoroughly checked it to see whether I had poisoned it or used any other ans that might expose your identity,” Ying Zijin stated, her arms folded, her tone light. “After all, at the Winter Hunt, I rely changed the sequence of the dicine, and I was able to create a pill with different properties.”
“But after you examined it and found nothing, you took it with you, hanging it on your person.”
The person’s hand paused.
“There were many guards watching ng Qingxue. Other evil doctors don’t practice martial arts. As soone who has dual cultivation in both ancient dicine and ancient martial arts, only you could personally go to kill her. Eventually, you let ng Qingxue catch the token, pretending it was an accident, an attempt to shift the bla onto unwittingly.”
“You didn’t expect that I would get caught because of it, just to divert attention. Though catching would have been even better.”
Ying Zijin’s eyelashes lowered as she smiled faintly, “But how could you assu, who gave you the illusion, that your poison-making ability is superior to mine?”
“Alliance Leader Qiu Man?”
