Amidst the silence, tears, and smiles, Head Elder Ling's cruelty continued.
He spoke of Xiao Qi's childhood in the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds. Those carefree, innocent years were the only comfort in Xiao Qi's life, but they were also the beginning of all his evil deeds.
Gu Yuntian had hidden Xiao Qi in the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds and taught Xiao Qi how to identify poisonous plants, as well as Xiao Qi's poison arts.
"Heavens, the medical academy really is in cahoots with the Poison Sect!"
In the silence, someone shouted. Finally, Gu Yuntian recovered from his bewilderment. He hurriedly denied it, "Ridiculous! This is a false accusation! Ling Guyi, Old Man has treated you well, so why would you make up such a ridiculous lie to slander the Old Man? Can you believe this? "
"Gu Yuntian, you know best whether you can believe it or not! I tried to persuade you back then, but you stubbornly insisted! "Head Elder Ling retorted angrily. He'd been forced into a corner by Gu. He knew that he wouldn't have a good ending if he told them everything today, but it was just as Gu had said. Even if he didn't have a good ending, he'd make Gu Yuntian, the instigator, suffer a worse fate!
Gu Yuntian had ascended to the top and become the academy head, but what about him? He couldn't even become a vice academy head, and Gu Yuntian had ignored their past friendship and insisted on expelling him for the induced labor!
He, Ling Guyi, wasn't someone without a temper!
"Words aren't proof!" Gu Yuntian was sweating profusely, but he held onto the last line of defense in his heart and remained calm. "Everyone, listen, listen! Can you believe something like this? Ling Guyi was even willing to do something as inhumane as induce labor, so how can we believe his words? "
"That's ridiculous! If that's true, how could that child have survived? "Vice Head Lin shouted.
Everyone finally recovered from their shock and began to think rationally. Head Elder Ling's words were indeed unbelievable!
"It … it can't be true, right? Tang Li? "Ning Jing muttered to herself.
"Probably …" Tang Li wasn't sure either. "How can he survive if he's tortured like that?"
Most of them were still in disbelief. However, Han Yunxi remained motionless. Her gaze remained fixed on Gu.
She finally knew where Gu Yuntian's fetus research came from! She was the one who didn't want to believe Head Elder Ling the most, but she had no choice.
At this moment, she really wanted to see Xiao Qi clearly. It was as if if she didn't see Xiao Qi clearly, he wouldn't be real.
However, her vision was already blurry.
She didn't know if Xiao Qi was still smiling. She couldn't see, she couldn't see!
Xiao Qi was still smiling. He slowly turned around and faced the crowd. For some reason, the noisy scene immediately quieted down.
Everyone was doubting Head Elder Ling's words, but they looked at Xiao Qi with disdain, caution, and vigilance. It was as if they were looking at a monster.
Beneath their stares, Gu Qishao remained calm and relaxed. Shrugging his shoulders, he smiled and said, "Words have no basis. Then bring out the evidence."
Everyone became even quieter. Even Gu Yuntian subconsciously held his breath.
Evidence?
How could he possibly have evidence?
He saw a medical apprentice running over with a box in his hands. Panting, he said, "Qi gege, everything you want is here."
Everyone in the medical school recognized that this medical assistant was from Gu Yuntian's courtyard.
The medical assistant slammed the box on the stage. "Bang!" Gu Yuntian's three souls and seven spirits were jolted awake. Gu Yuntian couldn't be more clear about what was inside the box.
His face was completely white. His lips and teeth trembled as if he wanted to say something, but he was too shaken to speak.
How could this be! How did Gu find this box? No!
He couldn't believe it! He must be dreaming!
Gu Yuntian rushed over like a madman, wanting to snatch the box.
Gu looked on coldly. Just as Gu Yuntian's hand was about to touch the box, he suddenly stomped on his palm.
Gu Qishao bent down to admire Gu Yuntian's panic with interest. "Father, why are you in such a rush?"
Gu Yuntian's "father" was so affectionate, but the strength of his foot increased instead of lessening. Gu Yuntian's palm was almost crushed. The pain was so excruciating that veins popped out on his forehead.
Gu Yuntian endured the pain and looked up at Gu with difficulty. He warned in a low voice, "Xiao Qi, if you tell the truth, you won't have a good ending either!"
Xiao Qi …
After more than ten years, he finally heard the words "Little Seven" again. This "Little Seven" had accompanied him for many peaceful nights when he was young. But, hearing it now, why did it sound so disgusting?
Gu didn't know if it was because of Gu Yuntian's disgust or because of his own unbearable past and monstrous body, but he felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit.
But he quickly ignored it.
He continued to smile. His smile was devilishly beautiful, heartless, and innocent. He happily told Gu Yuntian, "Father, Xiao Qi already won't have a good ending."
"W-What do you want?" Gu Yuntian was finally afraid.
Those who had nothing to lose were not afraid of those who wore shoes. Those who had nothing to lose were even more difficult to provoke than those who had everything. Gu Yuntian finally realized that Gu was cutting off all means of retreat.
He stared blankly at Gu for a long time before muttering to himself, "Why? Why now? "
Didn't Gu become Pill Fiend? Didn't he have Pill Fiend Pharmacy? Wasn't he living well? Why did he suddenly come back for revenge? Why didn't he come back earlier or later? Why now?
Gu Yuntian had once thought about taking over Medicine Ghost Valley, but he was still afraid and didn't dare to take too many risks. He always thought that after Little Seven had so much, she wouldn't have the courage to take revenge, and she wouldn't have the courage to announce everything to the public.
After all, once he revealed everything, Xiao Qi himself wouldn't be able to escape the calamity! His special body would be feared by everyone in the world. At the same time, he would also be pursued by everyone in the world.
Xiao Qi was a monster that no one could explain!
That was why Gu Yuntian didn't use Medical City's power to make things difficult for Medicine Ghost Valley all these years.
If Xiao Qi wanted to destroy him, he would have to destroy himself first. The father and son had always been in the same boat. Gu Yuntian didn't understand. What was the reason that made Little Seven so willing to destroy him?
"Because …"
Gu lowered his voice to a whisper, "Because no one can bully my Poison Lass!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked Gu Yuntian away. Then, he lifted the box with his foot and sent it flying into the air. When the box flew into the air, it suddenly broke into pieces with a bang, and a large stack of yellowed papers flew into the air.
Like a riot of falling petals, the petals filled the air. Gu Qishao raised his head to look, but his eyes were a little dazed and empty. All he could see were pieces of paper fluttering in the air. He was in a daze, unsure whether these were butterflies or paper fluttering in the air.
"So beautiful!"
He sighed with emotion. He inadvertently turned around and met Han Yunxi's gaze. He smiled again, a faint, faint smile.
Poison Lass, how wonderful would it be if those flying in the sky were butterflies? Butterflies from the mountains?
In the next life, will you and I have the chance to meet in the flowers that cover the mountains and plains, in the dancing butterflies? Or will we look back and remember the past?
The papers fluttered down and one landed on Han Yunxi's face. She grabbed it and her heart broke!
How could these be butterflies?
These were blood-sucking bats, demons from hell! These papers were none other than Gu Yuntian's case records. They recorded in detail what medicine he had given Xiao Qi's birth mother and what her reactions were. They also recorded in detail what medicine Xiao Qi had taken every day after he became Head Elder Ling's adopted son, and what his reactions were.
Also, there were records of how Gu Yuntian used Xiao Qi as a test subject, feeding him poison laced with the plague virus and finding a cure for the plague …
From the time Xiao Qi was in his mother's womb, Gu Yuntian's crimes against Xiao Qi were all recorded on these papers.
Countless papers fell to the ground and landed in various corners for everyone to pick up and read.
Gu Yuntian's handwriting and his habit of recording cases were all familiar to the higher-ups of the medical academy. They immediately recognized that these were Gu Yuntian's things. There was no mistaking it!
The research results recorded on these papers were almost identical to the research on fetuses and plague prevention that Gu Yuntian had announced over the years!
If this wasn't evidence, then what was it?
Head Elder Ling didn't need to continue. These case records explained everything!
In the silence, the whispers grew louder and louder. In the end, no one could hide their shock and fear.
Department Head Ouyang was the first to stand up. He rushed onto the stage and threw a stack of papers at Gu Yuntian's face, angrily questioning, "Gu Yuntian, are you still human? Are you? "
Immediately, countless people started throwing things at Gu Yuntian.
"This is too scary! The dignified head of the medical academy actually did something like this! "
"The medical academy doesn't have such a head!"
"Gu Yuntian, you're worse than a pig or a dog, worse than an animal!"
"Gu Yuntian, the medical academy will be destroyed in your hands today! How could you do such a thing? "
"This … how can we trust Medical City after this? They're even scarier than the Poison Sect! "
… …
The scene was a mess. Medical City and outsiders alike were all criticizing Gu Yuntian.
Han Yunxi couldn't care less anymore. She looked at Gu Qishao and had a thousand things to say, but she didn't know what to say.
She suddenly understood why Medicine Ghost Valley had such cruel rules. She finally understood why this guy was so resentful every time Medical City was brought up.
Xiao Qi, I'd rather not have such a great gift. I'd rather never have it!
Even if I become the target of public criticism, even if I become the enemy of the world, I don't want you to expose such a hideous scar in front of everyone.
Xiao Qi, why are you so stupid?!
Why are you … smiling so foolishly …
Gu Yuntian was like a mouse with nowhere to hide. He crouched on the stage, hugging his head. Those case records were his most treasured possessions. He knew they were evidence, but he refused to destroy them no matter what.
He'd hidden them well, but he never expected Gu to find them! Head Elder Ling was hiding in a corner, but he wasn't spared and was pelted with rocks.
It was because of this evidence that he had no choice but to compromise with Gu.
In the chaos, someone suddenly shouted, "Gu Yuntian, why do you know poison? Has the medical academy been in cahoots with the Poison Sect for a long time?"
This person was none other than Northern Li's imperial physician.
