Hearing this, Xia Ying looked at Xia Qi's hazy expression and spat hatefully, "It was the Second Master! The Second Master ordered me to do it and he even wanted to poison me to death! Master, you must uphold justice for your disciple! "
If Xia Ying was unharmed, perhaps he would have lied. However, he was nearly killed by the mastermind behind the scenes and the person who had saved him was the same person who had ordered him to harm him. Under these circumstances, he hated that person to the core, why would he hide the truth?
As such, after his words fell, everyone's gaze turned towards Xia Qi.
"Speak for yourself, what is this all about?" Master Xia's face was gloomy but his voice was filled with disappointment.
Even though he already knew that this matter had nothing to do with Xia Qi, now that it had been proven, he could not help but feel disappointed.
"All these years, I've come to understand the things you've done. I wanted to give you one last chance but I never thought that you would do this. I really want to know why you would kill the Gu girl when you have no grudge against her?"
This was the first time Xia Qi and Gu Ruoyun had met, there was no need to take each other's life. Furthermore, they had no grudge against each other.
If there was a connection, then there was only one reason.
Gu Ruoyun was the Master of the Hundred Herb Hall and the Ghost Doctor's Master! Yet the Ghost Doctor was able to cure the Young Master's illness! If Gu Ruoyun had died in the Xia Family home, what would the Ghost Doctor do? Even if he did not gather his men to fight against the Xia Family, he would not care about the life or death of the Young Master of the Xia Family!
But was such a meticulous and vicious plan really thought of by the Second Master who was as gentle as the wind in front of others?
Could it be that he had been hiding all these years?
Xia Qi smiled and replied like a spring breeze, "Father, you've never trusted me. You've already said that I have no grudge against her, so why would I kill her? There must be a reason, right? Honestly, I've liked Gu Ruoyun from the first moment I saw her. I admire both her character and her abilities. What reason would I have to kill such an outstanding girl? Xia Ying, since you say that I had ordered you to do this, you should at least show me some evidence. Don't accuse an innocent person. "
Hearing this, the crowd looked at each other. They had all been recruited by Xia Ying but no one knew who was behind him.
Teng!
Xia Ying raised his head and glared angrily at Xia Qi, "You were the one who sent Lord Ying to find me and had me follow your orders. You even gave me a pill to strengthen my body. Who would have thought that the pill would be a fatal poison! In the end, you still won't admit it! "
He was so angry that his body began to tremble. He no longer cared about etiquette as he pointed at Xia Qi and roared angrily.
"You claim that I was the instigator, but do you have any proof?" Xia Qi sneered and said, "Ying, come out!"
Whoosh!
A black figure flashed past like the wind and appeared next to Xia Qi. A pair of grim eyes stared sharply at the crowd, filled with murderous intent when he saw Gu Ruoyun.
"Ying, were you the one behind Xia Ying's actions?"
Eagle's expression didn't change as he coldly said, "Yes!"
No one had expected Eagle to admit it so decisively. Everyone was stunned. Furthermore, Lord Eagle was the Second Master's most trusted aide. Could it be that this matter really had something to do with the Second Master?
A cold light flashed across Xia Qi's eyes and he sneered, "They say that I was the one who had ordered you to do this. Now, explain this to my father."
"This was your subordinate's own decision and has nothing to do with my Master. I ask that you investigate this matter thoroughly, Master."
