Gu Yuntian didn't speak, but the discussion grew louder and louder.
This world wasn't as bad as they thought. There were still people who didn't fear power and stood firm for justice. Many voices of support for Han Yunxi rose from the audience.
At the same time, Han Yunxi was exchanging glances with Gu. As if infected by his emotions, Han Yunxi forgot about the terrible future and smiled.
Finally, Gu Yuntian couldn't keep his face straight.
Actually, he knew that he should be more generous. No matter how capable this girl was, she was at most an eighth-rank Sage Doctor like him. She couldn't reach the level of a Sovereign Doctor. After all, she only had one research result.
But he really, truly couldn't accept this! His limelight had been stolen and he'd been denied so thoroughly. Where was he supposed to put his old face?
Gu Yuntian really didn't want to fulfill his promise to Han Yunxi, so he changed the topic. "You're definitely in cahoots with Gu! No matter how good your medical skills are, the remnants of the Poison Sect will only bring disaster to Cloud Realm! This Old Man won't let you off today! Someone come … "
"Gu Yuntian, it's fine if you're not as skilled as others, but it's fine if you can't afford to lose! What, are you going to use such methods to get rid of your dissidents? "Han Yunxi's smile froze.
She couldn't help Gu or prove his blood relationship with Gu Yuntian. She probably wouldn't be able to give Gu his present, so she could only hold on and fight for the right to speak up for the Poison Sect.
She knew that it would be futile to defend herself without any evidence, but this was the only way she could go about it.
She was about to tear off her disguise when Gu suddenly spoke up. "Father, it's been so many years, but you're still so petty. The older you get, the more narrow-minded you become. Hehe, no wonder Head Elder Ling chose to testify for me. You didn't fulfill your promise to Head Elder Ling back then, did you? "
Every muscle on Gu Yuntian's face froze. He couldn't believe his ears.
Gu walked over and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. His smile was especially relaxed and casual. "Father, although your ability is not as good as a woman's, you're right. The blood test really can't prove that we're related by blood. Fortunately, I still have a witness. Otherwise, if you don't recognize me, I will be very sad. "
Han Yunxi smiled. Her hanging heart finally settled down. It turned out that Gu's big gift hadn't really been delivered yet! She guessed that he must have found Head Elder Ling and convinced him to testify for him! She had heard from Gu that Great Elder Ling was the closest to Gu Yuntian.
Han Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she was curious about the relationship between Gu and Gu Yuntian, as well as Gu's past in Medical City.
How could Han Yunxi think about how unbearable the past would be?
Back then, all the evidence had been destroyed and the witnesses were dead. All that was left was Head Elder Ling! Gu Yuntian never thought that Ling Guyi would betray him.
He refused to believe it. "Gu, don't spout nonsense! You're trying to slander the Old Man and exonerate the Poison Sect? You're delusional! Do you think everyone here is an idiot? No one will believe you! "
"Father, Head Elder Ling hasn't arrived yet. Why are you so agitated? Although your body is fine, you shouldn't get so worked up. If you get sick, this child will have sinned greatly! " Gu's chuckle made Gu Yuntian's hairs stand on end. He never thought that his son would become so strange and frightening!
Why? Why can he still laugh at a time like this?
"Men, men, hurry and arrest these two Poison Sect members!" Gu Yuntian roared.
At this moment, a loud voice rang out from the crowd. "Hold it!"
Everyone turned to see a familiar figure walking out of the entrance. It was none other than Head Elder Ling, the man who'd been expelled from Medical City because of the forced labor case, Ling Guyi!
He's really here? Could it be that Gu's words … were true?
Suddenly, the silent crowd grew restless. Some were shocked, some were curious, some were excited, some were gloating, some were worried, and some were agitated …
A good show like this was much more interesting than the medical competition at the Apricot Woods Conference.
"Ling Guyi has already been expelled from Medical City. Who let him in? Men, throw him out! "Gu Yuntian roared.
"Father, are you feeling guilty?" Gu asked.
"You don't have the right to speak to me. Men, do you hear me? Throw him out!" Gu Yuntian ordered.
Medical City's guards immediately moved out. Gu laughed heartily. "Everyone, take a look. This is the courage of the head of the medical academy. If he's not guilty, why doesn't he dare to confront us?"
Tang Li immediately shouted, "Great Academy Head Gu, you're not really guilty, are you? Are you afraid to admit what you did? You didn't do it, so what are you afraid of? "
As soon as Tang Li spoke, many people followed suit. Some couldn't stand Gu Yuntian's cowardice, some were interested in the truth, and some were just here to watch the show.
"Great Academy Head Gu, you haven't really done anything wrong, have you?"
"Heheh, I didn't expect Great Academy Head Gu to be such a romantic figure. I thought all medical students were like monks, pure of heart and few desires!"
"Tsk tsk, the medical academy couldn't have secretly colluded with the Poison Sect, and now they can't split the spoils evenly, right? Even the father doesn't recognize the son anymore? "
… …
These people weren't important people, so they didn't have much influence. But when the topic shifted from Gu Yuntian to the medical academy, the higher-ups of the medical academy couldn't sit still.
Vice Academy Head Lin immediately rose to his feet and shouted, "Men, hurry and take the Poison Sect's remnants away! These people are spreading rumors to confuse the public and try to frame Medical City to absolve themselves. Can't you see it yet? Friends, don't be fooled by the Poison Sect! The south central region's commander-in-chief's estate is colluding with the Poison Sect. They must be behind this! "
Vice Academy Head Lin was a smart man. By bringing out the south central region's commander-in-chief's estate, many of the influential people present would support him.
As expected, Northern Li's imperial physician stood up. "Absurd! This is simply too absurd! Ling Guyi can even induce labor, so what right does he have to testify? "
Tianning's military officer followed suit. "This is clearly a scheme between the Poison Sect and the south central region's commander-in-chief's estate. I think that woman must be from there!"
"What, Medical City is so big, yet they're afraid of the two of us?" Han Yunxi laughed mockingly. "It's obvious that someone has a guilty conscience!"
"That's right! This is the medical academy. Are you afraid of the two of them? Great Academy Head Gu, if we don't get to the bottom of this today, who will know the truth? "Tang Li asked.
Luo Zuishan hesitated a bit before standing up. "Your Excellency Academy Head, Vice Academy Head, Elders, as this one sees it, it's better to get to the bottom of this. The medical academy is upright and doesn't need to fear them! If we don't get to the bottom of this, it'll … it'll make us look guilty! "
Gu Yuntian glared at him as soon as he finished speaking. Vice Academy Head Lin was about to reprimand him when Third Elder Shen spoke up first. "As this one sees it, it's better to get to the bottom of this and convince the remnants of the Poison Sect wholeheartedly! Gu is also a member of our Medical City. If he can't get to the bottom of this and produce evidence today, Medical City will never allow him to leave! "
"This one agrees," Fourth Elder Li Xiuyuan spoke up as well.
Since the medical academy's own people had spoken up, there was no need for outsiders to speak up.
If Luo Zuishan had spoken alone, Vice Academy Head Lin could refute him immediately. But now that two of the Council of Elders had spoken up, he couldn't refute them so easily.
The representatives of all the powers in the world were here. If the medical academy was too domineering, they'd really become the subject of ridicule.
Vice Academy Head Lin looked towards Gu Yuntian for help. Unexpectedly, the usually low-key Vice Academy Head Ouyang spoke up. "Your Excellency Academy Head, as this one sees it, not only must we get to the bottom of this matter, we can't afford to be careless! This matter doesn't just concern your personal reputation, but the reputation of the medical academy as well! May Your Excellency Academy Head return our reputation to us! "
Actually, Vice Academy Head Lin had no idea what Gu Yuntian had done in the past. The only reason he stood on Gu Yuntian's side was because Gu Yuntian thought highly of him and wanted to cultivate him as the next academy head. Meanwhile, Vice Academy Head Ouyang was the true heir to the position.
The internal struggles within the medical academy were no less complicated than those between the various powers of Cloud Realm Continent.
Although Vice Academy Head Ouyang was low-key, he had the support of the people. As soon as he spoke up, everyone in the medical academy agreed.
Han Yunxi couldn't help but think that Gu Yuntian probably didn't have that many people in the medical academy either. There were so many doctors in such a large medical academy, but there were still plenty of kind-hearted people.
What could Gu Yuntian do when his own people were forced to the surface by outsiders' eyes?
He sneered, "Alright, this old man will give them a chance!"
Head Elder Ling walked over step by step as Gu Yuntian stared at him coldly. It was a mixture of warning and questioning.
Head Elder Ling should know very well that he had a part to play in the past. Spilling the beans wouldn't do anyone any good. Even Gu wouldn't be able to protect him!
"Head Elder Ling, feel free to speak of the events of the past. Don't leave out a single detail!" Gu finished with a chuckle.
Silence fell upon the scene except for his grin. He was the main character of the entire affair, but he seemed like an outsider watching from the sidelines.
No one could see the pain in his smile, only the determination to win!
Head Elder Ling sucked in a deep breath and avoided Gu Yuntian's warning glare. He didn't even know where to look. In the end, he lowered his head and spoke.
According to Gu's requests, he recounted the events of the past, one by one.
Back then, how Gu Yuntian found Gu's birth mother, how he tricked her into becoming pregnant, how he forced and threatened her to take medicine and cooperate with his research.
Also, more than twenty years ago, on the seventh night of the seventh lunar month, Xiao Qi was born. His birth mother suffered from severe bleeding during labor and died in the delivery room because she couldn't be saved. The first thing Xiao Qi ate wasn't milk or water, but medicine — the most bitter medicine of all. Over the next few days, Xiao Qi's small body showed signs of exhaustion because of the medicine. Before Gu Yuntian could persuade him, he had no choice but to stop the medicine and find a wet nurse to feed him …
At this point, the entire hall was so quiet that not even the sound of wind could be heard. The entire world had fallen into absolute silence.
Everyone was dumbfounded, including Vice Dean Lin and the others who supported Gu Yuntian.
Even the calmest Gu Beiyue couldn't help but stand up and clench his fists. Ning Jing had also forgotten to settle the score with Tang Li. Just like Tang Li, she stared at Gu with a stiff expression.
Han Yunxi was the closest to Gu. It was as if her pressure points had been pressed and she couldn't move at all. Only her fingers were trembling and her eyes were gradually turning red and sore.
But Xiao Qi …
Xiao Qi was still smiling. His smile was as pure and beautiful as a child's …
