The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot-Chapter 746 - 605 Ying Zijin: Who gave you that misconception? [1 update]

Chapter 746: 605 Ying Zijin: Who gave you that misconception? [1 update]

The man wore a wooden mask, completely hiding his face, yet failed to conceal his overwhelming presence.

He exuded an air of transcendent elegance and a restrained magnificence, as if naturally formed.

However, it imposed an unprecedented oppression.

The color drained from the faces of some of the seated figures.

"Lord Ying Zhuo?!"

"It’s really Lord Ying!"

In the Judicial Hall, aside from the Elders Council, only Ying had the right to speak and the absolute power to punish.

But he was too mysterious, appearing even less often than the members of the Elders Council.

The Great Elder of the Pill Alliance was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered, "Lord Ying Zhuo, it’s not that we didn’t request the Judicial Hall’s presence. We figured this was merely a matter of the ancient medical field, not significant enough to bother the Judicial Hall with a great mobilization.

"The evil doctor harms ancient medicine; ancient martial artists are responsible for the protection of ancient medicine, and the Judicial Hall has been investigating this matter as well." Fu Yunshen leaned back in his chair, "Overstepping the Judicial Hall, you hastily held a vote to detain the suspect—by whose authority?"

"..."

There was complete silence in the hall.

Fu Yunshen raised his eyes, his expression icy as he smiled, "You certainly have boldness."

Piercingly sharp, none of those present dared to speak out.

Even Xie Nian closed her mouth.

Without a doubt, Ying was surely an ancient martial grandmaster.

Who among them could defeat him?

Whoever has the strongest fist holds the right.

"Brother Ying, long time no see," Cheng Jin greeted, "How come you didn’t visit the Martial Arts Alliance when you returned?"

"I’m busy, don’t bother me."

Cheng Jin: "..."

Fu Yunshen slightly raised his chin, his gaze landing on the Great Elder, "I’m asking you a question."

The Great Elder wiped away his cold sweat, also very nervous, "Lord Ying Zhuo, it’s definitely not how you think. We had evidence before we voted."

"Physical evidence can be fabricated. With an evil doctor involved, how can you brush this off lightly?" Fu Yunshen’s tone was indifferent, "Does Miss Ying have any evidence to prove her alibi?"

Ying Zijin looked at him, "I do."

Yun Shan also wore a mask, standing behind Fu Yunshen, struggling greatly to suppress his laughter.

"Alright, enough with the act. What are you pretending for?" Xie Nian scoffed impatiently, "If you really had evidence, would you have been captured? What were you doing earlier?"

Like Lin Qingjia, they appeared pure and noble on the surface, who knows what filthy dealings they conducted in secret.

Pretentious virtue.

She detested such people the most.

Cheng Jin, having been snubbed by Fu Yunshen, was also in a sour mood and retorted sharply, "Did you give this lady any time to clear her name?"

Xie Nian’s gaze turned icy, "Cheng Jin!"

Lin Qingjia turned his head and smiled mildly, "Miss Xie, don’t get agitated. Young Master Cheng is simply stating the facts."

Xie Nian’s face grew colder, "Lin Qingjia, you’d also better shut your mouth. Who do you think you are?"

If it wasn’t for her interest in the commotion, she wouldn’t have condescended to come here.

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

The Great Elder, fearing another formidable figure had arrived, hurried to open the door.

Outside stood a Foo Family guard carrying a computer.

He rushed in, placed the computer on the table, "Miss Ying, here is the computer you requested; the video has already been uploaded."

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback.

Video?

Xie Nian saw the computer and felt a wave of disgust.

The Xie Family had always rejected all high-tech products from the outside world.

Being a member of the direct lineage, the Xie Family had provided her with a cellphone, which she had thrown away.

Meanwhile, the other elders who had never seen a computer were somewhat baffled.

"That’ll do. Let’s take a look," Ying Zijin motioned with her hand.

The flustered guard, using a computer for the first time, hastily turned it on and played the video.

The video depicted the scene from within Ying Zijin’s alchemy room.

Once again, faces changed.

It was an alchemy room specially arranged for Ying Zijin by the Pill Alliance; who else would bother to install a camera in their own room?

The video then displayed a person in black entering the room on the evening of the day before, carrying a bag.

After circling around the alchemy room, the figure placed the bag in a highly concealed spot.

The attendees were familiar with this bag; it contained the harmful Buddhist amulets.

The person in the video lingered, looking around, before finally leaving the scene.

The video ended there.

"I said it before, someone framed her," Qiu Man scoffed coldly, "The Pill Alliance’s strict scrutiny is ineffective. Who allowed outsiders in?"

The Great Elder forced a bitter smile, "Alliance Hierarch, we have no idea either."

"Just a moment," Fu Yunshen said smoothly, "Before coming here, I had already dispatched people to investigate."

The door was opened once more.

"Lord Ying Zhuo, we found out. On a desolate mountain outside the Pill Alliance, we discovered a body," Yun Wu entered and knelt on one knee, "The body was reduced to a skeleton. According to investigation, this corpse is the person seen in the video."
