Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1691: Chapter 1691: Stubborn as a Dead Duck

”Master, don’t!” Seeing the Old Woman about to act, Liu Xianglan hurriedly intervened.

”Lan’er, do you also believe this rascal’s nonsense, doubting your own Junior Sister?” The Old Woman frowned.

Gongsun Zhi, seeing the situation, also looked ”aggrieved” and said, ”Yes, Senior Sister. You must not be deceived by him. After being sisters for so long, don’t you know what kind of person I am?”

Liu Xianglan snorted lightly, ”Now I finally see your true colors. I know your shadow was in those past events, or maybe it was all your doing...”

”Senior Sister, you must have evidence to speak such words. It pains me that you doubt your Junior Sister so easily!”

Gongsun Zhi showed a ”heartbroken” expression, saying, ”Fine, after all, when you left back then, I wanted to follow. After living miserably for years, seeing you again fills my heart with no regrets.

If my death can ease your heart, what does my life matter? If you want it, it’s yours.”

Gongsun Zhi’s voice choked, her demeanor appearing pitiable.

”Senior Sister Liu, aren’t you mistaken? Junior Sister Gongsun, she...” The red-clothed female cultivator looked hesitant and advised.

Liu Xianglan gave a bitter smile and said to Gongsun Zhi, ”You’re truly cunning, no wonder you fooled everyone for so many years! It’s true I have no evidence, so I didn’t plan to do anything to you today. I merely came to reclaim my disciple.”

The topic returned to Zhu Qingshuang, and Ye Haochuan suddenly raised his head, staring intently at Gongsun Zhi.

His questioning of Gongsun Zhi was interrupted by the Old Woman. He was now deeply worried about Zhu Qingshuang’s safety and wanted to learn her whereabouts from Gongsun Zhi.

”Senior Sister, did you listen to this rascal’s nonsense again? I never captured Qingshuang, how can I return her to you?” Gongsun Zhi said with a ”grieved” face.

”You...” Liu Xianglan was extremely angry, her eyes almost spitting fire.

Gongsun Zhi spoke again, ”I know you misunderstand me, Senior Sister, and you don’t believe anything I say. You might as well have the city searched, and if there’s a trace of Qingshuang, you can tear me to pieces.”

Seeing Gongsun Zhi’s confidence, and since Ye Haochuan hadn’t found any trace of Zhu Qingshuang before, Liu Xianglan’s heart grew cold.

”Damn, still as stubborn as a dead duck. Didn’t get enough of a beating earlier, huh?” Ye Haochuan was both angry and anxious, shouting angrily.

”How dare you boast so shamelessly before the Old Sect Master. Are you deciding to oppose the entire Phantom Sound Pavilion?” Gongsun Zhi remained unafraid.

Ye Haochuan was so angry his teeth itched. In Gongsun Zhi’s eyes, there was a trace of satisfaction, making him want to rush up and slice her on the spot.

But he knew that even if he acted, he would be instantly killed by the Old Woman. The gap in boundary couldn’t be crossed by him now.

Just as his anger peaked, a familiar voice suddenly spoke, making Ye Haochuan’s heart brighten.

”I can prove that Zhu Qingshuang was indeed captured by Gongsun Zhi!”

The voice came from none other than Feng Meiyi. Her words immediately stirred a commotion.

Everyone knew that the Ten Charms of Phantom Sound were Gongsun Zhi’s most reliable subordinates. Now that Feng Meiyi said this, could it be that Gongsun Zhi was indeed lying?

Yet Gongsun Zhi’s face remained unchanged, saying, ”Feng Meiyi, I know you have a thing with this boy, but haven’t I treated you well these years? How can you slander me for a wild man?”

Gongsun Zhi, as expected, turned the situation around with a single sentence. Due to preconceived notions, anything Feng Meiyi said next would be seen as helping her lover frame others.

Luckily, Feng Meiyi wasn’t unprepared. She smiled lightly and said, ”Even if I betrayed you for a man, are they too?”

Following Feng Meiyi’s direction, more than ten women of various ages walked forward.

Hearing Feng Meiyi’s words, they immediately echoed, ”Yes, we can all prove that Gongsun Zhi captured Zhu Qingshuang.”

Moreover, a middle-aged female cultivator appeared, dressed in mourning, saying, ”Back when Zhu Qingshuang was captured, I was one of the group doing the capturing!”

”Ge Juan, I treated you well, and yet you accuse me?” Gongsun Zhi’s expression changed dramatically, roaring angrily.

”Treated me well?” The middle-aged female cultivator, called Ge Juan, gave a bitter smile, saying, ”Killing my two daughters is treating me well?”

With that, tears welled in her eyes as she said to the Old Woman, ”Old Sect Master, you are all deceived by Gongsun Zhi’s false mask. She’s a devil who has harmed countless young talents of the Phantom Sound Pavilion over the years... boo hoo...”

Saying this, she had already burst into tears, crying uncontrollably.

”What nonsense are you spewing?” Gongsun Zhi roared angrily, ”How much did Ye Haochuan offer you to defame me like this?”

”Gongsun Zhi, your skill in false accusations is indeed effortless!” Another person stepped out from the crowd, speaking coldly.

”Kong Ling, how come you’re here?” Gongsun Zhi involuntarily stepped back, saying in shock.

”What, surprised that I’m here?”

Kong Ling laughed coldly, ”It was you who sent me the message back then, yet afterward you tried to make me take the blame. If I hadn’t realized your nature early, I might not even be alive now.”

”Thought I’d dare not return after escaping a calamity? I’ll tell you, these past thirty years of hiding in the Phantom Sound Pavilion, I’ve been waiting for the day you get your just deserts!”

”Lies, do you have any evidence that I sent the message? Without evidence, you’re slandering me!”

Gongsun Zhi cut him off and then knelt before the Old Woman, sobbing, ”Old Sect Master, none of this is true, it’s all Ye Haochuan’s plot. This Kong Ling was the culprit behind Senior Sister Liu’s death, and he’s saying this now to frame me. Please, Old Sect Master, discern the truth!”

The Old Woman, indeed domineering but not foolish, could tell there’s something wrong with the situation. She ignored Gongsun Zhi, focusing seriously on Kong Ling, saying, ”Do you have evidence for your claims?”

”I do!” Kong Ling affirmed, ”I secretly recorded the entire process!”

”I also have evidence!” Ge Juan spoke up opportunely, ”Years ago, when my two daughters disappeared, Gongsun Zhi told me they were kidnapped by the Evil Sect. But recently, I found their belongings in Gongsun Zhi’s room!”

Saying so, she took out two small stone-carved pig-shaped tokens. These are relatively rare minerals sculpted into little pig forms.

Gongsun Zhi was extremely cautious and had all evidence, including clothing, burned to ashes afterward. Only these small stones, not so noticeable, weren’t completely destroyed.

”Just two mere stones, what can they prove? As for that recording, modern technology is so advanced, it can be easily synthesized, clearly made to frame me deliberately.” Gongsun Zhi gritted her teeth and spoke.
