Evil Emperor's Wild Consort - chapter-915

Though Gao Lin has always tolerated Elder Huang’s demands, this does not
mean that he does not have a temper. On the contrary, he has a very fiery
temperament! He has always prioritized the Medicine Sect’s best interests
all this while which was why he had tolerated this old fart for such a
long time.

Elder Huang’s expression slowly changed, there was no way for him to miss
the fact that Gao Lin was shielding Gu Ruoyun in his words. However,
Elder Huang never imagined that Gao Lin, who has always been intelligent,
would make such a foolish mistake at a time like this.

He would never be able to make up for this mistake for the rest of his
life.

Elder Huang sneered at the thought and said arrogantly, “Lord Sect
Master, so many witnesses have just seen her try to steal the pill
formula so how could there be a mistake? Otherwise, why didn’t they frame
anyone else and accuse her instead? If someone stepped forward and
accuses me of plotting against you, Lord Sect Master, I then would allow
myself to be punished for the sake of peace in the Medicine Sect!”

Elder Huang had a righteous look on his face as he spoke.

What he meant was that if anyone were to frame him in front of Gao Lin,
he would willingly accept punishment for the sake of the Medicine Sect!
Since he was so willing to accept his punishment, Gao Lin had no reason
to spare Gu Ruoyun.

Gu Ruoyun, in the meantime, had treated the scene as if she was watching
a good show. Her delicate features were calm and serene as if the false
accusations were of little importance to her.

When she saw that Gao Lin was lagging in his debate with Elder Huang, she
slowly opened her mouth to interrupt Gao Lin.

“Elder Huang, are you certain that you can confirm my crime based on what
these people have said?” She asked with a small smile. Her clear and cold
gaze was turned towards Elder Huang as an unreadable light flashed in her
eyes.

Elder Huang laughed icily, “I’d much rather believe in the Medicine
Sect’s disciples than you!”

“Really?” Gu Ruoyun smiled as she replied, “Then if they’ve really framed
me, what should their punishment be?”

“Hehe.”

Suddenly, someone laughed coldly.

Huang Feifei raised her chin and stared arrogantly down at the graceful
woman in green who was smiling softly. A disdainful light flashed across
her eyes as she said, “Gu Ruoyun, do you think that everyone else is just
as vile and shameless as you? Every single one of the disciples from the
Medicine Sect holds noble and virtuous values. No one here would ever
falsely accuse others! If I were you, I’d confess to my own crimes.
Denying it is useless!”

She had recruited all these people so she had personally instructed them
on what to say as well! Aside from her cronies, there was no other
uninvolved third party here. Hence, no one could stand as a witness for
Gu Ruoyun.

“However, if you’d still like to save face, end your own life now. This
way, perhaps I’d still have some respect for you.” Huang Feifei’s lips
curled into a sneer as she swept her disdainful gaze towards Gu Ruoyun,
“Otherwise, I will make sure that you lose your dignity completely and
suffer a fate worse than death!”

Gu Ruoyun shrugged as she stared at the Huang father and daughter pair
and said, “I only have one question, if I can prove that these people
have framed me, how do you intend on compensating me? The price for
damaging my reputation is very steep.”

“Hmph,” Huang Feifei scoffed frostily and replied disdainfully, “If you
can prove that they are framing you, I, Huang Feifei, shall willingly
compensate you with all the power I have for the rest of my life!”

First of all, Gu Ruoyun would need to find proof!

“Alright.”

Gu Ruoyun smiled and turned towards Gao Lin before saying, “Sect Master,
I’ll let you be the witness in acknowledging this. If I can prove that
this matter was a false accusation, no matter what I do, no one can stop
me.”

Hearing this, Huang Feifei’s heart trembled. She did not know why but she
could not shake the feeling that something was not right. However, she
was unable to pinpoint the reason at all. Besides, she had watched as the
group carried out their provocation so she was sure that there were not
any loopholes that Gu Ruoyun could exploit.
