She did not know if the Medicine Order was too confident, or if they were just putting on an act.
Among the nine, at least three of them were old acquaintances of hers.
She watched as Ma Lian and Cheng Rusong took their seats, as well as the vice head of the Divine Temple who had supported her earlier.
She could not help but wonder what the Medicine Order was thinking.
These three would definitely stand on her side. Could it be that the other six were all from the Medicine Order?
Elder Lu introduced with a smile, "These nine have agreed to join our judging team after careful consideration. Before this, they have sworn on their honor that they will judge our match fairly and impartially. You can rest assured of this, fellow Poison Order members. "
Lin Mengya nodded and exchanged glances with the other three.
She had not received any news before coming here. Moreover, if Senior Ma, Senior Cheng, or the vice head of the Divine Temple had received the news beforehand, they would have found a way to inform her.
But now, they had kept it under wraps so tightly.
Clearly, there was something strange going on.
Elder Lu was also introducing the judges one by one.
"This is Lord Pei, Overseer Pei from the Dragon Capital!"
She had heard of Overseer Pei.
He was the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital in the Imperial Palace. His medical skills were superb, and he was a hereditary overseer. He could be considered a rare medical expert.
However, the Pei family was from the Medicine Order. Although they were now under the command of the Imperial Family, they had a good relationship with the Medicine Order.
She looked at Overseer Pei, who was also sizing her up.
She did not know why, but she felt that Overseer Pei seemed to dislike her.
But when she thought of the three people she was close to, it was normal for the Medicine Order to look for him.
"Second, the heir of the Medicine King, Sir Qing Ye of the Medicine King Valley!"
Sir Qing Ye was only in his twenties, but he did not show any signs of fear as he sat beside a group of elders.
He had rosy cheeks and white teeth, and was quite good-looking.
Most importantly, he had an otherworldly aura, like an orchid in a deserted valley.
Beside him, Wu Jing whispered, "Both our sects need medicine, so the power of the Medicine King Valley is not to be underestimated. In the first few years, his master was fair and treated both our sects equally. But I heard that this Sir Qing Ye was already engaged to a noble lady from the Medicine Order two years ago. From the looks of it, their relationship must be closer than ours. "
Lin Mengya nodded, knowing what to do.
"The third person is the grand elder of the Physician Hall, Wen Yuan!"
Lin Mengya could not help but pay attention to that person when she heard the words "Physician Hall".
Ever since Wen Jing's worldview was shattered by her, he had been depressed for a while.
After that, he would leave early in the morning and return late at night. Even after she set off, he would leave as well. No one knew where they went.
Given the current state of the Physician Hall, even if it wasn't completely destroyed, it wasn't too far from it.
Although she and Long Tianhao were secretly supporting Wen Jing, the Physician Hall was a very exclusive place. If Wen Jing wanted to control it, he had to rely on himself.
She didn't know the background of this grand elder, but the Physician Hall and the Medicine Order were closely related, so it was likely that she knew where he was heading.
Then, Elder Lu's introduction confused her even more.
"The fourth is His Majesty's personal envoy, His Majesty's cousin, His Highness Lu!"
"The fifth is the personal envoy of the Temple Lord, who is also the Chief Guardian of the Temple!"
"The sixth one, His Royal Highness Xiao Wangye!"
"The seventh is the Deputy Temple Lord of the Temple!"
"The eighth is Ma Lian, the Master of the Ma family!"
"The ninth is
Cheng Rusong, the Master of the Cheng family! "
When he finished his introductions, everyone was shocked by this unprecedentedly powerful lineup.
It seemed that almost all the forces in Weiguo were present.
The Emperor, the Temple, the Three Kings, the Ten Aristocratic Families, the Poison Sect and the Medicine Sect.
This time, they had to play it big!
Lin Mengya went through the lineup from the beginning to the end and narrowed her eyes.
On the surface, the lineup this time seemed to be very fair.
However, in reality, there were some extremely complicated relationships.
There were three representatives from the Poison Sect and the Medicine Sect, which meant that the deciding factor would be the three people who were not closely related to them.
The Emperor, the Temple, and Prince Xiao.
She didn't have a hundred percent confidence in winning over these three forces, but what about the Medicine Sect?
If they were to lose, it would be equivalent to the public execution of the Poison Sect, and they would never have a chance to rise again.
This battle was not going to be easy.
Next to her, her teacher and Senior Uncle had also noticed the problem.
"Pfft, the Medicine Sect is really a bunch of shameless bastards. How could they do such a thing? A bunch of hypocrites!"
No matter how flustered and exasperated Senior Uncle was, the outcome was already set in stone.
It seemed that if they wanted to turn the tables, they would need to crush their opponents with absolute power.
However, the waters were too deep. It would be extremely difficult to achieve victory.
Just as she was deep in thought, she heard her teacher say in a low voice, "However, the only true disciples of the Medicine Sect are Elder Lu and the other two. Are they only relying on the Baili family?"
Hearing her teacher's words, she found it strange as well.
Judging from Baili Jian's attitude towards Elder Lu, the Baili family should be taking orders from the Medicine Sect.
In this competition, both parties would definitely fight to the death.
Was Baili Jian not afraid of losing the entire Baili family?
After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, "Since they're all prestigious figures, we don't need to worry about the fairness of the outcome of this competition. However, there is one more thing that I hope Elder Lu can answer. "
Elder Lu nodded.
"This competition concerns both our sects. Most of the people from the Poison Sect are here, but the Medicine Sect …"
She paused for a moment and looked at Baili Jian meaningfully.
Baili Jian immediately felt blood rush to his head and could only roll his eyes at her.
"What I meant was that the number of disciples from your sect is too little. This makes us feel like we are bullying you with numbers. "
Elder Lu seemed to have just remembered something and said, "Look at me, how could I have forgotten such an important thing? However, before the competition, the nine lords had decided on the content of the competition by drawing lots. They had also sent someone to deliver it to the Poison Sect's elder. Why, Master Gong doesn't know about this? "
The Poison Sect's elder?
Lin Mengya felt as if she had fallen into someone's trap.
Elder Lu seemed to be unaware of this as he slowly said, "Half a month ago, our sects had already arrived at the competition grounds. We were only waiting for the nine lords to arrive so that we could decide on the date for the competition. Master Gong must have arrived in a hurry and missed out on such an important piece of news. "
She had not received any news about the competition at all!
She looked at the nine men on the stage once again. She could clearly see the ridicule on the faces of the Medicine Sect members and the helplessness on the faces of the three men on her side.
So that was it!
It was obvious that the Lu family had sent the Poison Sect's elders to be the ones who were not on good terms with Master and Senior Uncle.
However, they had hidden such a huge matter.
He was actually hiding it, only thinking about seizing power!
They had fallen into the Medicine Sect's trap. The Poison Sect was bound to lose this time!
"Master Gong, you were so confident just a moment ago. Why are you so disappointed now? Could it be that you were not aware of this matter at all? Heh, I wonder if you, the person in charge, have gained the unanimous approval of the Poison Sect. "
Baili Jian seized the opportunity to ridicule her while she was down.
His words meant nothing to her.
What she needed the most now was to find out the venue and the content of the competition.
Elder Lu was much more shrewd than Baili Jian.
He pretended to be sorry in front of the crowd and said, "How did this happen? Master Gong, this is all my fault. Oh yes, the competition will be divided into three parts. The details can be found in this letter. The competition will be held in two days. We can still make it. "
Fake kindness! He was obviously trying to win without a fight, but he was still putting on such an act.
Lin Mengya put on a fake smile and stuffed the letter into her clothes.
"Thank you for the reminder, Elder Lu."
Elder Lu looked at her with a smile, but there was a cold glint in the depths of his eyes.
"We'll wait and see."
"I won't disappoint Elder Lu's kindness!"
Lin Mengya brought her men back to the mansion while everyone was immersed in different thoughts.
"Idiots! Useless! Idiots! Have they lost their minds because of the poison? Why are they still thinking about such a stupid thing at a time like this! "
The moment they returned to the courtyard, Senior Uncle started scolding them.
This time, Master Gong did not stop her. He sat quietly beside her with a frown on his face.
"Ya 'er, I didn't think this through."
Master Gong said apologetically.
But the heads of the other families tried to comfort him. "You can't say that! When the Poison Sect lost its power, they abandoned the entire sect to protect themselves. Now they want to snatch the power from us. How hateful! "
Master Gong sighed bitterly.
He did not expect that after so many years, these people could still be so shameless.
Lin Mengya also inquired about the so-called elders of the Poison Sect.
"Hmph! Damn the elders of the Poison Sect! If they hadn't been so stubborn in the last competition, we wouldn't have been unable to make a comeback for decades! "
The last competition?
She looked at Master Gong.
Based on the information revealed by Master Gong and Senior Uncle, there was a serious accident during the last competition.
Based on the time, Master Gong should have been in Jin State at that time.
However, Master Gong should have a way to come back, or he would not have been so famous here.
"I don't want to talk about the past. Anyway, if they want to play the same trick again, I won't give in! "
Baili Rui's eyes were firm.
In the past, he could give in because he felt that the reputation was not important.
But this concerned his little disciple, whom he had raised like a daughter, and he could not make the same mistake again.
After venting his anger, Wu Chong had calmed down.
He sat on the chair with a cold expression on his face.
"Senior Brother gave up his position because he did not care about these things at all. However, they've clearly forgotten the lesson that the two of us taught them together! "
A ferocious aura slowly emerged from the two of them.
Lin Mengya could not help but feel curious. How dazzling were the Wild Duo of the Poison Sect back then?
