Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1897: Chapter 1897: Condemnation by Law?

Hearing those people’s words, a trace of killing intent flashed in Ye Haochuan’s eyes.

These guys were distorting right and wrong, clearly wanting to put him to death.

Sure enough, when the people around heard these words, they began to point fingers at Ye Haochuan even more.

These guys were specially called by Ye Yan to prevent Ye Hao from letting Ye Haochuan off because of favoritism.

With these elders around, even Ye Hao had to handle it impartially, otherwise, he would be accused of nepotism and incur the displeasure of the entire clan.

”Haochuan, do you have anything else to say?” Ye Hao asked coldly, looking at Ye Haochuan.

”That day, it was Ye Xiao who took the initiative to invite me out and then poisoned me, leading me to be controlled, almost causing grandfather’s death later on...” Ye Haochuan said with a serious expression, recounting the events in detail.

”Wait, are you saying that it was Xiao’er who poisoned you, not Ji Song?” Ye Hao asked with a puzzled expression.

The initial incident was caused by Ji Song, so they naturally assumed it was him who poisoned Ye Haochuan and did not delve further. Unexpectedly, there was such a twist.

”The poison back then had two parts: one part was something Ji Song tricked me into using regularly, and the other part, which triggered the poison, was administered by Ye Xiao!” Ye Haochuan explained.

”Nonsense! There’s no such poison in this world!” Ye Yan shouted.

”There is indeed such a poison, and Haochuan was indeed poisoned back then, I can testify to that!” Ye Hao said with a complex expression.

He hadn’t expected such a vicissitude in the affairs of the past.

”Even if there is such a poison, how can you prove it was Xiao’er who administered it?”

Ye Yan snorted, ”Ji Song had already administered the most complex poison, why would he need to use Xiao’er to administer one that could be easily administered? Wouldn’t it be simpler for him to do it himself?”

”He didn’t do it himself, naturally to avoid exposure!” Ye Haochuan quickly replied, ”When he poisoned me, he couldn’t guarantee a hundred percent success, and if he acted personally, once exposed, he would immediately be caught!”

Ye Haochuan had already thought through why Ji Song didn’t poison him personally, so he delivered his response effortlessly.

Ye Hao understood Ye Haochuan’s point. Ji Song didn’t gamble everything when he poisoned Ye Hao back then. His mind was meticulous, using Ye Xiao as a pawn. If Ye Haochuan had successfully wounded him, Ji Song would have seized the opportunity. If not, he could continue to stay in the Ancient Martial Arts Sect, waiting for the next chance.

Finally, it turned out that Ye Hao was successfully stabbed and poisoned. In such a situation, Ji Song then revealed his fangs. Otherwise, with Ji Song’s meticulous mind, his collusion with the Evil Sect might still be undiscovered.

Ye Yan had roughly heard the truth about this matter and couldn’t find words to refute it.

At this moment, Ye Hao’s hatred towards Ye Haochuan had quietly dissipated a little. He continued, ”Haochuan, tell me everything in detail!”

”Hmm!” Ye Haochuan recounted in detail how Ye Xiao challenged him to a duel, how he became furious and poisoned during the duel, and everything that happened.

”You’re saying that Xiao’er was killed by your Halberd of Heaven and Earth automatically protecting its master?” Ye Hao asked, puzzled.

Ye Haochuan nodded solemnly.

”Nonsense, with Xiao’er’s skill, how could he be killed by a mere weapon? I think you’ve made up this lie long ago to shirk your guilt!” Ye Yan said incredulously.

”Everything I said is the truth!” Ye Haochuan coldly glanced at Ye Yan and said.

”You say it’s the truth, fine, where’s the evidence? Who can prove you’re telling the truth?” Ye Yan snorted.

Ye Haochuan frowned immediately. At the time, there were witnesses, but these were the very people who wanted him dead and wouldn’t speak the truth.

”You say I have no evidence, then what evidence do you have that they’re not lying?” Ye Haochuan looked at those people and said.

The few people, seeing Ye Haochuan’s gaze, appeared slightly panicked.

”Ridiculous! They’re witnesses themselves, who else needs to prove it?” Ye Yan snorted, ”Today, I must make you pay for Xiao’er’s life with yours!”

With that, Ye Yan flew into another rage and charged at Ye Haochuan, ready to strike.

Ye Haochuan didn’t move an inch and sneered, ”If killing Ye Xiao is an unforgivable sin, what should be done with your attempt to kill me now?”

Ye Yan was stunned and shouted, ”Little bastard, I’m avenging Xiao’er, what punishment?”

”Revenge?” Ye Haochuan exclaimed passionately, ”Grandfather hasn’t made the final judgment yet, and my crime hasn’t been established. If you kill me now, isn’t that unauthorized killing of a fellow disciple?”

”You...spout nonsense! You’ve already admitted to killing Xiao’er, the crime is already established, and to kill you is to act in the name of justice!” Ye Yan shouted fiercely.

”Are you out of your mind? I said he tried to kill me first, and that’s why I accidentally killed him!” Ye Haochuan also got angry and yelled.

”Without evidence, you’re just making things up...” Ye Yan insisted.

”Enough!” Ye Hao shouted angrily upon hearing the uproar.

This shout made the entire Ye Family tremble. It was clear that Ye Hao was truly angry.

Although Ye Yan was furious, he didn’t dare to go against Ye Hao’s wishes and reluctantly kept silent.

Ye Hao pondered as he looked at Ye Haochuan and then at Ye Yan, a complex expression on his face.

He believed Ye Haochuan’s words. Ye Xiao’s reaction after being defeated by Ye Haochuan was something he witnessed himself. With Ye Xiao’s unyielding nature, it wasn’t impossible for him to attempt to assassinate Ye Haochuan.

Moreover, the timing of Ye Xiao’s incident coincided with the time of Ye Haochuan’s poisoning. From whatever angle, what Ye Haochuan said seemed like the truth.

But just his belief in Ye Haochuan wasn’t enough; without solid evidence, others would only think he was being nepotistic.

After some brief consideration, he finally said, ”Ye Haochuan, for unpardonable murder of a fellow family clan member, the evidence is conclusive, by the law you deserve to be executed...”

”Father!” No sooner had Ye Hao’s words fallen, Ye Xian knelt down and kowtowed, ”It’s a father’s fault for failing to teach. If Haochuan really made this huge mistake, it’s because I failed to guide him properly over the years. I’m willing to be punished on his behalf and use my life to pay for Ye Xiao’s!”

With that, he decisively pulled out a dagger and stabbed it towards his own chest.

”Father, no!” Ye Haochuan exclaimed urgently.

Though a cultivator is formidable, the heart is still a vital point. If severely injured, even divine beings would find it hard to save you.

Clearly, Ye Xian intended to sacrifice himself to give Ye Haochuan a chance to live.

Ye Haochuan was in a panic, but he was too far away to render aid, helplessly watching as the dagger plunged into Ye Xian’s body.
