Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1014: Chapter 74: A Shocking Act

Seeing Mu Shuang stammering, unable to say anything for half a day, Ma Zhao and Hong Mingyue beside him also appeared somewhat nervous.

The changes in their expressions were all captured by Elder Yue standing nearby.

Unlike Elder Xue, Elder Yue, although also quite protective, had a far more meticulous mind than the often rash Elder Xue.

Especially since she had long heard that Ma Zhao’s reputation wasn’t good, it seems that this matter is indeed mostly as Ye Lingyue said.

However, if the truth were to be revealed, then her disciple Feiyue and Ma Zhao would inevitably face punishment, and it might even affect their performance in the upcoming sect competition.

Elder Yue’s eyes showed uncertainty, and eventually, she focused on Mu Shuang.

It’s all because of that female servant; had she not sought connections and entangled with Ma Zhao, none of this would have happened.

No, she must strike first.

”Mu Shuang, I’m asking you, did you steal the earring or did Ma Zhao give it to you?” Elder Yue suddenly stepped forward, aggressively questioning Mu Shuang.

Mu Shuang was already nervous, and upon seeing Elder Yue’s pressing demeanor, she was so frightened that her knees went weak, and she sat down heavily.

”I, I didn’t...” Mu Shuang wanted to seek help from Ye Lingyue, but right at that moment, she saw Elder Yue’s eyes.

Elder Yue, a woman well-kept in her appearance, had a pair of beautiful, bright eyes.

At that moment, those eyes seemed to overflow with something.

A fantastical voice repeatedly echoed in Mu Shuang’s mind.

”You stole the earring; admit it quickly. Otherwise, your companions will suffer unjustly. Your family will also face a bad outcome. You’re just a servant, a worthless life, why drag others down?”

Elder Yue’s voice was like a hand, stirring up Mu Shuang’s heart.

Various emotions appeared in her eyes.

Fear, confusion, humiliation, but gradually, her eyes turned cloudy, and she said slowly.

”It’s all my fault, I stole the earring. I’m sorry everyone, sorry Refining Hall, sorry to my family.” Speaking thus, Mu Shuang suddenly screamed and fiercely rushed towards the front column.

”Stop her!” Ye Lingyue realized something was wrong, she quickly pushed away Little Di Shen and rushed towards Mu Shuang.

But Mu Shuang was too fast; even though Ye Lingyue gave it her all, it was ultimately too late.

Only a ripping sound was heard, Mu Shuang’s Fire Fox Robe sleeve tore, and she collided with the wall, emitting a dull crash with blood splattering on the wall, staining Ye Lingyue’s eyes red.

The hall was in an uproar.

Manager Xiong was shocked and hurried forward to check.

Master Wuya, Elder Hua, and Elder Feng all had somber expressions, while Elder Xue, Xue Xuan, Ma Zhao, Hong Mingyue, and others turned worry into joy.

Elder Yue had a slight smile at the corner of her mouth.

Manager Xiong checked Mu Shuang’s condition and sighed, patting Ye Lingyue’s shoulder.

Ever since arriving at Wuya Peak, Manager Xiong had prepared for the worst.

This matter involved Moon Peak and Xuefeng, whose elders were extremely meticulous, Ye Lingyue and Mu Shuang had offended them, just being able to leave intact today is already quite fortunate.

At least Mu Shuang took the blame upon herself, at least Ye Lingyue was protected.

”Now the truth is out, this wretch committed suicide out of guilt, can’t blame anyone else.” Elder Xue gloated.

Master Wuya and the others looked at Elder Yue with slight dissatisfaction.

Elder Yue was the one in Lonely Moon Sea most skilled in the Heart-Pushing Technique, a technique that could cause confusion in the mind, leaving one susceptible to control.

Mu Shuang was fine earlier but suddenly went mad, everyone else knew the reason in their hearts.

But the matter was settled, and Elder Yue was one of the elders, so it wasn’t worth bringing Elder Yue down over a servant, thus the Sect Leader and others tacitly chose to remain silent.

Thus, this matter concluded.

”Ahem, this matter ends here...” Master Wuya was about to speak.

”She’s not guilty.” A low voice interrupted Master Wuya.

Master Wuya was stunned.

”Mu Shuang is not guilty, she didn’t steal the earring. Ma Zhao, Feiyue, and Elder Yue, you are the ones distorting the truth, especially you, Elder Yue, as an elder of Lonely Moon Sea, using such despicable means, even if there’s guilt, it’s yours.” Ye Lingyue crouched down, carefully lifting Mu Shuang with her hands.

”Mu Shuang, I’ll take you back.” She said softly.

Manager Xiong was moved, he stepped forward to assist Mu Shuang.

Ye Lingyue stood up, her stern gaze slicing like a knife across everyone’s face.

Ma Zhao and Hong Mingyue were somewhat guilty, turning their heads away under her look.

Especially Ma Zhao, he never thought things would get so out of hand.

Yet internally he comforted himself, it’s only a dead servant after all.

Besides, she brought all this upon herself, who told her to aspire beyond her reach?

Elder Yue’s face stretched longer.

She never expected that a little servant could see through her tricks, and what infuriated her was that Ye Lingyue dared to openly speak out.

Truly a fearless wretch, Elder Yue’s gaze was venomous.

”Sect Leader, you all heard it. This Ye Lingyue is rebellious by nature, even now she refuses to admit it. Let me tell you, it’s that little wretch’s fault she died. Even if you didn’t steal the earring, yet conspired against me, I will not let it go easily.” Elder Xue said, her sleeves swishing, fingers forming claws, attacking Ye Lingyue.

”Old fool, do not harm my wife.” Little Di Shen, seeing his wife aggrieved, was furious, seeing Elder Xue acting ruthlessly, his face tightened, the sword in his hand swept out like lightning.

”Enough.” Seeing the two about to clash again, Master Wuya roared angrily.

Little Di Shen and Elder Xue simultaneously retreated a few steps.

Elder Yue and the other elders saw Master Wuya’s roar pushing back the two, all secretly uneasy, secretly noting that the Sect Leader’s cultivation had further advanced.

”Little Di Shen, Elder Xue is an elder, you must not be disrespectful. Elder Xue, you too as an elder of Lonely Moon Sea, the Refining Hall has given you an explanation for today’s events, why do you continue to hold on?” Master Wuya although having small objections to Ye Lingyue’s earlier accusation against Elder Yue, honestly felt somewhat unfair to the Refining Hall.

However, as Sect Leader, though Lonely Moon Sea appeared calm, the undercurrents among the peaks had long been turbulent.

With the sect competition imminent, he had to consider the larger picture.

”Sect Leader, since you say so, I’ll let her off this once, only she must kowtow and apologize to me, then I’ll consider forgiving her.” Elder Xue said arrogantly.

Ye Lingyue heard it, her brow twitching, about to speak.

Unexpectedly, Little Di Shen beside her listened, his face turning dark.

”Bah, as if you’re worthy. My wife did nothing wrong, no way to apologise, fine, I’ll take a blow for her, one blow apiece, and we’re even.”
