Chapter 2022: Confess
Chapter 2022: Confess
Elder Liang fixed his cold gaze on Xi Yue. “Even someone as respected as Dr. Li nearly fell for Meng Zisu’s tricks. You’re still young and hot-blooded—if you gave in to temptation and got involved with a student, it’s understandable to a degree. My advice? Confess now. If you do, the Enforcement Hall might show some leniency and only sentence you to a soul lash punishment. Otherwise… be prepared to lose your cultivation and your qualifications as a doctor—for good.”
Elder Yu also motioned at the enforcers behind him and said, “Okay, lock him up and take him back to the Enforcement Hall first.”
Watching the two Enforcers hesitantly approach, Xi Yue found it all utterly ridiculous. Of all things to accuse her of, they picked that—having an affair with a female student? Honestly, she was starting to wonder if revealing the truth might be a little too cruel.
While Xi Yue remained calm and unbothered, Meng Zisu was already drowning in despair and overwhelming regret.
She regretted ever trusting Meng Baiya—that venomous, cold-hearted woman. Not only had it ruined her reputation, but now she had dragged down Instructor Xi Yue with her.
She hated herself for being so weak. Why had she tried to seduce Dr. Li? Why had she tried to seduce Instructor Xi Yue? If she hadn’t done those things… if it weren’t for her… Xi Yue wouldn’t be… wouldn’t be…
Suddenly, Meng Zisu stumbled forward a few steps and dropped to her knees in front of Ke Yanhuai with a thud. Her voice was hoarse, filled with despair that crushed her pride and dignity beneath her feet—yet there was a fierce, reckless determination in it too.
“Ke Yanhuai, didn’t you say you wanted to take me as a concubine? Fine, I agree! I’m willing to withdraw from Heavenly Medical Valley and marry into the Ke Family as a concubine. But this has nothing to do with Instructor Xi Yue. Please, I’m begging you, let him go!”
As she spoke, her reddened eyes turned to the enforcers.
“It was all me. I was the one who seduced Instructor Xi Yue. I was the one who put my undergarments in his room. He didn’t know anything about it. None of this had anything to do with him. I’ll take full responsibility, just… please, let Instructor Xi Yue go…”
“What are you doing?” Suddenly, an angry male voice rang out from the crowd.
The next moment, before anyone could react, a blur flashed before their eyes—a tall young man appeared beside Meng Zisu and yanked her up from the ground.
His face was filled with anger. “Are you crazy? How dare you treat yourself like this?”
“Oh my god, it’s Song Zhen!”
“That’s Song Zhen—the top disciple of the Inner Sect’s Martial Arts Academy! What’s he doing here?”
The crowd broke into a frenzy, their voices overlapping until the entire area was drowned in noise.
Song Zhen was a Tribulation Stage cultivator—the most powerful among all the students in Heavenly Medical Valley.
With his striking good looks, powerful background, and the influence to command the entire inner sect of the Martial Arts Academy, there wasn’t a single person in Heavenly Medical Valley who didn’t know who he was.
Moreover, whether in the inner sect or the outer sect, countless girls regarded him as their crush and ideal husband.
So it was no surprise that his sudden appearance—and his actions—left everyone present completely stunned.
The moment Meng Zisu looked up and saw Song Zhen, even amid all the chaos and heartbreak, she recognized him instantly.
He was the man who had helped her in the slums and the one who had saved her at the edge of the Skyfall Cliff.
She didn’t know why this man always showed up at her most hopeless moments—but right now, she no longer had the strength to think about it.
