Chapter 1999: Revenge
Chapter 1999: Revenge
Xi Yue stood there blankly for a long time before coming back to her senses.
Her hand slid over the spot on her chest where the pagoda fruit that Nangong Yu had given her originally hung. She spoke softly to the empty room, “Are you him, Yu? What kind of bond do you two share? Please… can you tell me?”
After mumbling to herself for a while, she pulled herself together, turned around, and walked out of the room.
What I did just now was so out of the blue… I hope Dr. Wen hasn’t gotten suspicious.
Thank God it was Wen Jiaquan who showed up. If it had been Weizhi or someone more observant, she’d have been exposed for sure.
It’s all that shameless bastard’s fault!
…
When Ke Yanhuai stepped out of the Enforcement Hall, he looked sharp in a fresh set of clothes. But beneath that polished appearance, his whole body ached so badly he could barely move without wanting to groan in pain.
What drove him even more insane was how the people from the Enforcement Hall had literally kicked him out. Several onlookers had witnessed his sorry state as he was thrown out, making it clear to everyone that he’d just been punished.
With that, his reputation in the inner sect was shot.
He had hoped to get a higher rank in this year’s assessment, but now he’d be lucky just to not end up at the bottom.
Ke Yanhuai was so furious that he was bloodthirsty, but he didn’t dare to confront Song Zhen. Instead, he turned all his rage toward Meng Zisu.
That night, Ke Yanhuai and Meng Baiya appeared in Mei Shuhai’s room in Heavenly Medical Valley’s outer sect.
Mei Shuhai’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the contents of the ornate storage pouch Ke Yanhuai and Meng Baiya had placed in front of him.
Everything inside was high-quality—no doubt worth a fortune.
But he kept a straight face and said calmly, “What’s the meaning behind this, Mr. Ke?”
Ke Yanhuai’s expression darkened as he said coldly, “I want you to kick Meng Zisu out of the Heavenly Medical Valley.”
“Isn’t Meng Zisu from Water Medicine Class Three?” Mei Shuhai frowned. “Mr. Ke, you should know that the students from Class Three are in a rather special position—they’re backed by the Jun, Yun, and Bai families. Kicking someone like her out without cause would bring consequences none of us can afford.”
Ke Yanhuai’s brows furrowed. He was already boiling with anger, and hearing Mei Shuhai act all high and mighty as if he was about to say no made him snap—he was ready to blow up on the spot.
But Meng Baiya quickly grabbed his arm and gave a soft, sweet smile. “Why don’t you hear Yanhuai out first, Dr. Mei? Maybe once you know why he wants to remove my sister from Heavenly Medical Valley, you’ll have an easier time deciding whether or not to help.”
“Tell me about it.”
A cold glint flashed in Meng Baiya’s eyes as she let out a soft sigh. “To be honest, my sister was originally engaged to Yanhuai. But for some reason, she started seducing another man. In the end, she even lost her chastity. Both the Meng and Ke families caught her in the act.”
“Yanhuai truly cared about my sister,” she said softly. “But after what she did—something so disgraceful—how could the prestigious Ke Family still marry her? So, the engagement was called off, and she ended up enrolling at Heavenly Medical Valley.”
Mei Shuhai lifted his eyes and gave a surprised glance at the grim-faced Ke Yanhuai, then nodded. “A woman that shameless and immoral—of course, someone like Mr. Ke can’t be expected to accept her.”
Meng Baiya grinned, but her face took on a sorrowful expression. “But Zisu is still my sister, and she was once Yanhuai’s fiancée. Both of us hoped she would feel ashamed and change her ways. But instead, ever since she started studying at Heavenly Medical Valley, she’s only gotten worse—still going around trying to seduce other men without a hint of remorse.”
