Miracle Doctor Miss Jiu - Chapter 42

Chapter 42: The Young Man Who Protected Her Was Qin Ying’s First Target (Part 1)

On the high platform, there were elders of some sects asking with frowns, “Lu Jiu Que? Why should someone who has gained such extreme notoriety still be qualified to take the test?”

The only ones who could take part in the test were elites recommended by their respective countries, were they not?

“Hmph, it’s bad luck to even see such a person. The moment she appeared, all the people from an entire empire who were here to take part in the test were poisoned. The moment she makes it into a sect, won’t she throw the entire sect into turmoil?”

“Forget it. She has a recommendation letter. There’s also nothing we can do about it. Just wait until we can brush her aside.”

“But such a piece of trash couldn’t possibly pass even the most basic qualification test, right?”

“Hahaha, that’s for sure.”

…

With Lu Jiu Que’s remarkable hearing, all these detailed comments would naturally enter her ears. The glow in her eyes darkened into gloominess.

These so-called sect elders who didn’t know the truth of the matter and hadn’t even seen her before had jumped to conclusions based on rumors and gossip.

How was their ignorance any different from those mediocre bullies who derived pleasure in making fun of, oppressing, and torturing her?

Even if they were distinguished people with lofty titles, their hearts were still filthy.

With such people as the elders of the sects recruiting disciples, the beliefs of the clans themselves were obvious.

Upon seeing Lu Jiu Que’s somewhat dazed expression, Ye Hui thought she had been upset by the insults the crowd was throwing in her face.

In fact, the previous Lu Jiu Que was also like that.

Alone, she would stand in the midst of attacks and ridicule, but never had she succumbed to them.

She was always standing upright, always so stubborn.

Thinking back on how he used to hide among the crowd, then thinking back on the scene in which Lu Jiu Que used her body to protect him when they fell off the back of the demonic beast the day before, Ye Hui felt an unexpected rush of anger in his mind and roared, “That’s not the truth!”

“What?”

Everyone looked to Ye Hui, even Lu Jiu Que.

Ye Hui went red in the face as he said nervously, “The truth isn’t like that! Yesterday, it was clearly those young masters who had pawed at Shao Qingrou and torn her clothes, and that made her so angry that she went around beating people up. This was how she hurt a demonic beast by mistake, and it then stomped on her and caused her to sustain a fractured bone. Lu Jiu Que didn’t hurt her at all. Don’t you distort the facts and throw such slanderous attacks at her.”

“Huh…”

A throng of gasps was heard coming from the crowd.

“What’s the meaning of all this?”

“Shao Qingrou was undressed by the young masters of the Qing Yan Empire? They tore her clothes off?”

“What the hell? Breaking news? Is it true or not?”

“Are you stupid? If it was just to save face, Young Master Ye wouldn’t be planting evidence so openly like this.”

…

Lu Jiu Que blinked. This guy, Ye Hui, who was usually so reserved and kept to himself, sure knew how to make an impact with his sudden and outstanding speech.

“You—that’s bullsh*t!” Qin Ying was so angry that she had gone purple in the face, and she vowed to protect Shao Qingrou’s reputation. The next movement of her feet swept her right in front of Lu Jiu Que where she lifted her hand and viciously moved her hand to slap the latter hard across the face.

The beginning of the slap was so powerful that if Lu Jiu Que was hit, she would certainly swell up like a balloon.

Lu Jiu Que raised her hand with the silver needles clasped between her fingers. Her eyes were cold as she waited for this girl to willingly hurl herself into the trap Lu Jiu Que had set. Who knew that there would be another figure that was much faster and timelier in blocking the slap?

Smack!

This sound was a loud high-pitched crack, and the hit messed up Ye Hui’s fair and handsome face. There was blood flowing out of the corners of his mouth.

“Gasp…”

“This…”

…

Qin Ying had really made a move. This… Was there internal strife in the Qing Yan Empire?

“You…” Qin Ying was a little flustered. After all, Ye Hui was backed by the Ye family. General Ye wasn’t a character to mess with.
