The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot-Chapter 745 - 604 Top Powers Gather! Backing [2 more updates]_2

"If the evil doctor isn’t completely eradicated, there will be subsequent actions, and the target will either be me, you, or An Ling and An Miaomiao."

"But choosing me is easier to act on because you all have families behind you, which makes it difficult to frame you. I haven’t been in the Ancient medical field for long, and to them, my foundation is unstable."

When it comes to her own affairs, she has always been unable to calculate them.

Moreover, her ability for Divine Calculation hasn’t recovered yet.

Ying Zijin also didn’t expect that the very place where Shanuodon was located would be so mysterious that it caused her more harm than changing Di Wu Yue’s Life Pattern.

Yet she always plans ahead and prepares for everything.

"Professor Zuo, I might not be available for hotpot with you today," Ying Zijin turned her head, "Let’s reschedule, I have something very important to deal with."

Zuo Li was puzzled, "What’s up?"

As soon as he finished asking, exclamations rang out from the nearby street.

Zuo Li looked over and saw two people dressed in ancient costumes walking by.

These were the guards from the Ancient Martial World stationed in the Ancient medical field.

Quite a few passersby were taking pictures.

"Miss Ying, we mean no offense," one of the guards stopped in front of the girl and said, "You are suspected of a murder case. Please come with us."

Hearing this, Zuo Li’s expression changed dramatically, and he stepped forward to stand between Ying Zijin and the guards: "Who are you? This is the entrance to Imperial Capital University! How could she be involved in a murder?"

"Professor Zuo, I’m fine," Ying Zijin was very calm, "We’re doing cosplay. My company is planning to shoot a historical drama soon. We’re just trying out the feel, and these are the lines."

Zuo Li was taken aback.

He looked at the two guards again and saw that they were indeed dressed in ancient armor, so he believed them somewhat.

What mattered most to him was that even though these two people were wearing ancient costumes, they didn’t look very tough.

If there was going to be trouble, it’d likely befall those two guards.

Zuo Li still vividly remembered Ying Zijin’s prowess.

She was the one who could send a member of Yi Character Team flying with a single punch.

There used to be a gang of thugs outside Imperial Capital University who frequently extorted money from students. Now, they all go around when they see Ying Zijin.

"Well, okay then," Zuo Li spoke, "Classmate Ying, just be careful not to hurt yourself."

He emphasized the word "careful" heavily and gave the two guards a pointed look.

The two guards felt somewhat baffled under Zuo Li’s gaze.

But the rules of the Ancient Martial World prohibit revealing ancient martial arts in front of ordinary people, so they didn’t say anything and took Ying Zijin away.

Compared to yesterday’s questioning of Meng Qingxue, today’s display of force was even greater.

Ying Zijin scanned the seating area with her eyes and had a guess in her mind.

Not only were the representatives from the three great clans of the Ancient medical field, Pill Alliance, and Heavenly Medical Sect present, but so were members from the Lin, Xie, and Yue families, as well as the Martial Arts Alliance, and several major clans.

Top powers gathered; the last time this happened, it was for the execution of an infamous ancient martial artist in the Ancient Martial World.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the girl walked calmly to the center and stood there, serene and composed from beginning to end.

Xie Nian narrowed her eyes and said leisurely, "You do look good. Evil doctors do seem to care about appearance. I don’t need to see the evidence; I agree with detaining her."

As soon as Xie Nian spoke, the families following the Xie Family naturally sided with her.

"Miss Nian, don’t be hasty," the Great Elder of the Pill Alliance frowned and said sternly, "We have already discussed the details with everyone just now. The evil doctor endangers the Ancient medical field and is also an enemy of the Ancient Martial World. The evidence is here, all pointing to you, Miss Ying, as a member of the evil doctor."

With that, he picked up the Token, "Miss Ying, is this yours?"

Ying Zijin glanced at it and calmly said, "Yes, it’s mine."

"So you’re admitting it’s yours? Or are you saying you lost it and the evil doctor just happened to pick it up?" Xie Nian smirked, her red lips curving into a giggle, "That sounds rather false, doesn’t it?"

"Miss Ying, it’s not just this Token," the Great Elder hesitated for a moment, "In your personal Alchemy Room, we found these items."

Cheng Jin pointed to the box on the table, "What is this?"

"It’s something similar to a Buddhist amulet," the Great Elder explained, "But very sinister, with poison made by the evil doctor, which, if worn for a long time, accelerates aging and leads to premature death."

"A batch has already entered the Secular World and made its way into temples. We have sent people to recover all the amulets and prevented harm to the general public."

Ying Zijin lifted her chin slightly, still calm, "Is that all?"

"Is this still not enough?" Xie Nian asked with a laugh, "Can you ancient doctors speed things up? I have other things to do, hurry up and vote."

"Miss Ying couldn’t possibly be an evil doctor, I disagree with imprisoning her," Foo Chen sneered, "If she were an evil doctor, why would she come back to save me? Why not just let the tiger eat me?"

"Young Master Foo Chen, everyone knows you are close to Ying Zijin," an elder spoke up, "If you had died and only she survived, her level of suspicion would be even greater. I agree with imprisoning her."

From the Heavenly Medical Sect, the Ancient Divine Doctor and another divine doctor were present.

Both wrote their agreement.

The Ancient Divine Doctor stroked his beard: "The crime of being an evil doctor is extremely heinous; these pieces of evidence are already sufficient."

Yue Jingshan also wrote an agreement.

The complexion of Qiu Man, the Pill Alliance Hierarch, darkened: "I disagree, this is a setup."

Both sides clung to their arguments.

Cheng Jin did not put down his vote but instead looked at Lin Qingjia beside him, "What do you think?"

Lin Qingjia wrote a disagreement on the paper, indifferently, "This kind of framing trick is very useful, and the logic is completely sound, but what is fake is fake."

Cheng Jin nodded, "Good."

He cast a vote disagreeing with imprisoning Ying Zijin, then carelessly dropped the pen on the table and slouched in his chair, "Hurry up, I also have things to do."

Xie Nian glanced at Lin Qingjia, then licked her lips and sneered disdainfully, "Lin Qingjia, I really don’t understand you, wouldn’t it be good not to have someone share your fame? Are you bored or something?"

She didn’t care at all about how Meng Qingxue died.

Whether Meng Qingxue was killed by an evil doctor or died vomiting blood didn’t make any difference to her.

To her, Meng Qingxue’s death was a good thing.

It would save her the trouble of having others mention Meng Qingxue’s name alongside hers when bringing up geniuses of the Ancient Medical Field and Ancient Martial World.

Not worthy at all.

But who knew, after Meng Qingxue was gone, another Ying Zijin appeared.

Xie Nian toyed with her nails while casting a casual glance over the girl.

Just an ancient doctor.

No threat to her at all.

Let alone Ying Zijin being an ancient doctor, she could easily crush Lin Qingjia too.

Xie Nian didn’t even consider lifting a finger against an ancient doctor because there was simply no need.

Ancient doctors have such short lives and the physical strength of ordinary people.

By the time they die naturally, she will still be alive.

Xie Nian clicked her tongue.

What a pity, how did Foo Chen and Ying Zijin not die on the mountain.

A few elders tallied the votes.

The final result was twenty-seven to twelve.

Twenty-seven people agreed to imprison Ying Zijin.

The minority must follow the majority.

The Great Elder of the Pill Alliance had a complicated expression, "Then we shall follow the suggestions of everyone and imprison Miss Ying, and administer punishment until she reveals the truth."

Although up to this point, he also didn’t believe Ying Zijin was an evil doctor.

But the evidence indeed lay before them, and as only an elder of the Pill Alliance, he could not change the outcome.

"You want to administer punishment too?" Xie Nian dropped the idea of leaving, crossed her legs, and clapped her hands with a smile, "Punishment sounds good, I love watching. Make it as bloody as you can, don’t hold back, otherwise it won’t be satisfying."

The two guards had just brought up the torture instruments and hadn’t made a move yet.

"How could such a thing happen without inviting me?" A voice resounded, flippant and wearing a smirk, yet with a hint of chill, "What’s the reason, is the Judicial Hall no longer qualified? Or am I not worthy to attend the meeting? Eh?"

Everyone turned to look toward the entrance.

Some jumped up in surprise.
