CHAPTER 2082: CHAPTER 2080: POISON SKILLS CUT FROM THE SAME CLOTH

The Third Elder brought them directly to summon the other elders, directly stating their findings and requesting for the doctor to examine Du Fei’s condition.

"This..." The Tenth Elder expressed concern, "I’m afraid the Second Elder won’t agree."

"He has no choice but to agree; harming the younger generation of the clan and using evil techniques is a serious accusation." Elder Su said angrily.

The Ninth Elder frowned and said, "Just based on your one-sided statement, it’s inappropriate to convict the Second Elder, right?"

Bai Ruozhu spoke directly, "Go and see if Du Fei shows symptoms of having used evil techniques, then you’ll know. Not to mention, using evil techniques on clan members is unacceptable, right? Moreover, Xin Sheng’s physical condition is already like that; due to the soul-controlling technique, he is showing signs of foolishness."

Isn’t the Second Elder fond of using Xin Sheng to soften everyone’s hearts? Then she will use Xin Sheng to harden everyone’s hearts.

"Let the doctor examine thoroughly." The Fifth Elder said, and several other elders nodded in agreement.

However, in the end, everyone decided to first have the clan’s doctor check Xin Sheng’s condition to see if he really was affected by evil techniques as Bai Ruozhu claimed.

Soon, the clan brought in several doctors, and everyone went to Xin Sheng’s home together.

When Bai Ruozhu saw no one was paying attention, she whispered to Jiao Ling, "Aunt, get someone to keep an eye on Du Fei. I’m afraid she’ll run away."

"Alright, I’ll send Fen Jiu." Jiao Ling replied softly.

The Tenth Elder knocked on the door, and Xin Sheng opened it. Seeing so many people coming, he was surprised. His room was small, and there was no way for so many people to enter, so he simply stepped outside, looked at the crowd, and asked, "Why am I being suspected again?"

"Don’t misunderstand, we are worried you might be affected by evil techniques, and brought the clan’s doctors to check on you." The Tenth Elder said.

Upon hearing this, Xin Sheng became angry, "What evil techniques? It’s probably what Bai Ruozhu said, right?"

Bai Ruozhu did not avoid the question, stepped forward and said, "Yes, it was I who said it. I’m a doctor and a disciple of the Astrology Tower, I won’t make a mistake."

"Are you afraid I’ll expose your true face, so you take the opportunity to eliminate me?" Xin Sheng said angrily.

Everyone was shocked, as Xin Sheng usually had a mild temperament and rarely spoke with such anger.

"What true face? Go ahead and expose it, there’s no need to hide." Bai Ruozhu was curious to hear how Du Fei had altered his perception using evil techniques.

Xin Sheng showed a pained expression, "Since all the elders are here today, I will make it clear. My son Xin Si died of poisoning, and all these years we’ve been unable to find the culprit. A few days ago, the poison you used on Fo Lanying was the same as what happened to Sisi back then; it was you who killed Sisi!"

Everyone was shocked and instinctively looked at Bai Ruozhu, indeed Bai Ruozhu was skilled in poison skills, and she had indeed poisoned Fo Lanying.

"You’ve been deceived." Bai Zepei spoke, "The day my sister poisoned Fo Lanying, many people were present as witnesses. It was merely a poison that temporarily disables, preventing further harm. But you claim your son died from poisoning, which was definitely not caused by such a poison, but rather it was seemingly very powerful and impossible to cure within the clan, right?"

The Tenth Elder nodded hurriedly, "Xin Sheng, who told you this? I examined Xin Si’s poison back then too, and was helpless, it definitely was not the same as the poison Bai Ruozhu used on Fo Lanying."

Xin Sheng revealed a confused look, but he couldn’t be mistaken.

"That’s why I say you’ve been manipulated by evil techniques; your memory has been influenced through divine sense, making you believe you saw the culprit, without realizing it was Du Fei creating illusions for you." Bai Ruozhu said loudly.

"Du Fei?" Xin Sheng showed a shocked expression, "Impossible, I have no grievances with her, why would she harm me? And that’s an evil technique, isn’t she asking for death?"

Bai Zepei continued, "A few years ago, our whole family was in the northwest countryside, we hadn’t even left Beiyu City, how could we have encountered your son? Your son presumably did not meet his end in the northwest, right? Also, my sister was so young back then, why would she want to harm your son?"

"Then it’s her master, their poison skills are of the same origin!" Xin Sheng finally found the enemy after so many years, it was like finding direction for himself. Even though he now realized he had been deceived, he didn’t want to wake up from the dream fabricated by others.

Bai Ruozhu chuckled, "My master is the National Master of Danliang Country, founder of the Astrology Tower, who was in seclusion to heal ten years ago and hadn’t left the tower. How could he have harmed your son? Moreover, my medical skills and poison skills were taught by the immortal through dream transmission, you never saw me use poison, how could you judge my poison skills are the same as your son’s poison?"

Xin Sheng’s body went limp, collapsing to the ground, he still hadn’t found the enemy, still hadn’t found!

The Tenth Elder hurriedly called several doctors to examine him, also taking out talisman paper to draw talismans himself.

After about a quarter of an hour, the Tenth Elder and the doctors confirmed that Xin Sheng was indeed affected by the soul-controlling technique.

"Have you seen Du Fei in the past few days?" Elder Su urgently asked.

Xin Sheng was still in pain, not yet recovered, Elder Su repeated the question several times, he finally said, "She came a few days ago to deliver me medicine, saying it would help restore my divine sense."

"It was indeed her." The Third Elder gritted his teeth, "Let’s go, can we go find Du Fei now?"

Elder Su left a doctor behind to care for Xin Sheng, then led the group straight to the direction of the Second Elder’s home.

Unexpectedly, halfway through, Fen Jiu hurriedly approached and said, "Du Fei is not at the Second Elder’s house, probably fled upon hearing the rumors."

The Third Elder’s eyes flashed with cold light, "Can’t find a person within Jiuli Clan? Send the clan members to search!"

Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but mutter inwardly, they really couldn’t find the person Fen Cheng, but how could Du Fei be compared to Fen Cheng?

After arranging people to search, the Third Elder led everyone to confront the Second Elder.

After explaining the situation, the Second Elder glared and said, "Nonsense, even if Xin Sheng was harmed by someone, how does that prove it was related to Du Fei? I have been focused on healing these days, haven’t had time to deal with you, why do you blame me whenever something happens?"

The Third Elder wanted to argue with him, but Bai Ruozhu hurriedly tugged at the Third Elder’s sleeve; without concrete evidence, arguing would be meaningless.

At this moment, Fo Lanying rushed out from inside, crazily lunging at Bai Ruozhu, "You failed to harm me, now you’re falsely accusing my mother, you wicked person, get out of our Jiuli Clan!"

Before Bai Ruozhu could dodge, Bai Zepei stepped forward to block her, just a glare made Fo Lanying cover her head and fall to the ground.

"What are you doing?" The Second Elder raised his hand to strike at Bai Zepei, but was caught with a palm by the Third Elder, causing the Second Elder to stagger back a few steps.

"Alright, alright, so now the clan can casually hurt people? Just because someone has entered the Enlightenment Tablet?" The Second Elder said angrily.

"Your granddaughter wants to strike someone, and we can’t protect ourselves?" Bai Ruozhu pouted, "Why is it that if someone in your family makes a mistake, it’s not a mistake, and we can’t even resist, must we let you hit us at will?"
