Wen Jing sat alone in the courtyard. His mind had been in a mess for the past few days. He felt that the beliefs he had held onto for the past twenty years had begun to waver.
He knew that there were good and bad people in both the Medicine Order and Poison Order.
However, if he had to acknowledge the Poison Order and give up on the beliefs he had held onto all this time, he found it hard to accept.
"Hallmaster Wen, my mistress invites you."
Ning Liang suddenly appeared in front of him.
Even though the other party's attitude was as polite as ever, Wen Jing could keenly sense the other party's faint hostility towards him.
He did not know what had happened in the past few days. He only felt that everyone had been looking at him strangely along the way.
Then, he arrived at the Four Tai Academy.
"Mistress, Hallmaster Wen is here."
Ning Liang retreated, leaving only a few people in the courtyard.
Lin Mengya's back was facing Wen Jing, as if she was trying her best to hold back something.
"May I know why Mistress has summoned me here?"
Wen Jing's intuition made him feel slightly uneasy.
"Wen Jing, you and I come from different backgrounds and naturally have different opinions. I won't blame you for this."
She spoke softly, but her tone soon turned cold.
"But since you are the Hallmaster of the Physician Hall, I can only seek retribution from you for the mistakes of my subordinates."
She turned around, her eyes as cold as frost on her delicate and pretty face.
Wen Jing had never seen Lin Mengya like this.
Even when he had tried to persuade her to renounce darkness and seek light, her eyes had remained indifferent. But now, she seemed to view him as an enemy.
Wen Jing was not a man without a temper. His expression immediately darkened.
"Since Mistress has said so, I won't stand on ceremony. Our Physician Hall has always taken it upon ourselves to eradicate the Poison Order. Even though we are heartless towards Mistress, Wen Jing does not feel that it is wrong. If Mistress wishes to seek revenge, Wen Jing will accept it. "
However, the woman before him was not angered.
She only looked at him with a deep gaze, curled her lips and sneered, "Do you think I'm the same as the Physician Hall? The Poison Order and the Medicine Order have been at odds for a long time. Whoever loses can only blame themselves for not being skilled enough. Let me ask you, why do you want to harm my student's life! She's just an innocent young lady. She's going to lose her life for the scum of your Physician Hall! "
Lin Mengya strode up to Wen Jing and grabbed his collar with her slender hand. Without any explanation, she dragged him to Huang Xuerou.
The latter was caught off guard. When she let go of her hand, she saw a delicate young girl lying in the coffin.
"This … What do you mean?"
"What do I mean, Hall Master Wen? She died under the secret medicine of your hall. Don't tell me you can't tell?"
Looking at the woman in front of him who was speaking so harshly, Wen Jing could only suppress his anger.
He glanced at Lin Mengya coldly and then looked at the corpse angrily.
He wanted to see what other tricks this Poison Sect demon had up his sleeve.
However, after Wen Jing carefully examined the corpse, the anger in his heart gradually subsided.
He could clearly see the cause of the girl's death.
However, there were no signs of Poison Sect on the girl.
"Now, Hall Master Wen should have a good look at you, right? This child has a clean background and has nothing to do with Poison Sect. Let me ask you, did she deserve to die as well? "
If the people of the Physician Hall had only targeted her and her teacher, she wouldn't be this angry.
But now, the thing they used to uphold justice was used to take the life of an innocent person. From this point alone, they had lost the right to be righteous.
Lin Mengya had never been a soft-hearted person. She wanted the Physician Hall to collapse from its roots.
"Perhaps, there's more to it than meets the eye …"
"Alright, I'll let you understand. Men, bring Wu Qiang here."
Wu Qiang's heart was already dead.
However, when he saw Wen Jing, his entire body trembled. His eyes widened as he stared at Wen Jing in horror.
"Wen … Wu Qiang pays his respects to Hall Master Wen."
He knelt on the ground and his body trembled slightly.
Wen Jing did not recognize him but from his actions, he could tell that he was someone from the Physician Hall. Wen Jing could only ask slowly, "Who are you? What's going on here? "
Wu Qiang did not dare to hide anything from his old master.
At that moment, he told her how he had used Huang Xuerou's trust in him to trick her into coming here, and how he had used the secret medicine to kill her.
When he said that he was afraid that Huang Xuerou would reveal the whereabouts of the elder, he locked her in a box filled with medicinal herbs and starved her to death with the secret medicine, Wen Jing fell silent.
"Hall Master Wen, you can ask your good subordinates how many innocent people have you killed over the years!"
Didn't he wholeheartedly think that they attacked the people of Poison Sect in order to uphold justice in this world?
Since that was the case, he might as well tear away the veil of shame and reveal the truth of how the Hall of Physicians viewed human life as nothing more than grass to him!
"Since this lady has nothing to do with Poison Sect, why must you kill her?"
Wu Qiang's head drooped even lower.
However, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Because killing her would be the best release for her."
Wu Qiang raised his head and tears shimmered in his eyes.
"Hall Master, I know that I'm guilty and I've let down the trust of the dean and the children. But, but I really couldn't bear to watch as that girl was used as a catalyst by the elders! "
Wu Qiang thought that he could start over after leaving the Physician Hall and becoming the vice dean of the female college.
But that night, when he saw the elder in the hall, he knew that he could not escape.
To him, the Physician Hall was too powerful.
It was so powerful that they could easily find his family and friends and send them into an abyss that was more terrifying than the eighteen levels of hell.
Therefore, he did not dare to take the risk.
At the end of the day, he was a coward.
Lin Mengya looked at them coldly. She was not interested in other people's privacy.
However, since this concerned her academy, she had to make things clear.
"Since we have different goals, I won't hesitate to lay my hands on you in the future. But remember, the children in the academy are innocent. If the Physician Hall dares to lay their hands on them, I'll slaughter your entire clan! "
After saying that, she flicked her sleeves and left.
Only Wen Jing and Wu Qiang were left in front of Huang Xuerou's coffin, with complicated emotions.
After leaving the academy, Lin Mengya felt a little suffocated.
No matter who was at fault, she did not thoroughly investigate Wu Qiang's background and did not teach the people to guard the academy well, which led to the girl's death.
Every one of them was responsible for her death.
The only thing she could do was to protect the rest of the students.
She slowly exhaled and regained her calmness.
She summoned the guard and asked him to listen to what Wu Qiang said to Wen Jing. It would be best if he did not miss a word. After that, she returned to the Gong Family and went straight to the Gong Family's old mansion.
"Teacher, I have something to ask you!"
She hurried to the West Courtyard, only to see the powerful and tough Martial Uncle pressing the teacher down on the table. Both of them looked a little excited.
But after seeing her, the two of them quickly separated.
Lin Mengya silently stepped back and smiled awkwardly, "Did I disturb you?"
The teacher's face darkened. He turned around and hit his junior brother's head hard.
"Look at you, what have you done to my Ya 'er? Let me tell you, if you dare to lead my Ya 'er astray, I'll kill your whole family! "
Even when he was glaring at them, he was still very intimidating.
Hearing that, Wu Bing had to smile cautiously.
His brain finally worked, and he immediately ran in front of his little martial niece, and said fawningly, "Hehe, good girl, you can't talk nonsense! I, your Martial Uncle, don't like old men. I just wanted to see your teacher's new poison. "
Lin Mengya looked at the two old men with obvious disdain in her eyes.
The two old men felt a little embarrassed. In the end, Baili Rui won and said with a fierce face, "Say it.
I don't want you two to get out. Don't waste my time! "
After being yelled at, Wu Bing shrank his neck, but Lin Mengya acted as if nothing had happened. She asked directly, "Teacher, do you know why the Physician Hall uses people to refine medicine?"
As soon as she said that, the two people in the room were stunned.
Lin Mengya saw that their faces were filled with shock, anger, and in the end, it turned into deep fear.
Her heart sank. It seemed that the teacher really knew.
"Lass, who did you hear this from?"
Wu Bing said with a sullen face, but before she could answer, Baili Rui interrupted.
"Who else could they have heard it from? They must have heard it from the people in the Physician's Hall. She is young and has never been in contact with the Poison Sect. She doesn't know anyone except the two of us. "
Obviously, the teacher was covering up something for her.
Lin Mengya quickly realized that the teacher must be hiding something from Martial Uncle.
But when she secretly asked him with her eyes, she saw a worried look on his face.
It seemed that this matter must be related to the Poison Sect.
She nodded and continued, "Didn't a female student go missing in the academy a few days ago? Later on, someone found the girl's corpse in the back of the mountain. When I went to investigate, I found the real culprit who killed the girl, who was also from the Physician Hall. He unintentionally said that the Physician Hall is using people to refine medicine. So, I think this has something to do with them wanting to deal with the Poison Sect. "
What she said was true.
But the teacher and Wu Bing's faces were getting uglier.
Especially the latter, he was so angry that his eyes turned red.
"I told you that it must be those hypocrites. Senior brother, I can't take this lying down!"
The teacher showed a rare look of hatred, but he still calmed himself down and patted Wu Bing's shoulder.
At this moment, Lin Mengya was confused.
"Teacher, what happened?"
Baili Rui sighed helplessly and said, "I went to the Shang Family this time to find out something."
