Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 1235: Chapter 1239: Speculation (Part 1)

Are you kidding me!

How is that possible!

A little hill outside is actually that formidable?

That’s way too fake!

Even if their Secret Realm sect rarely shows itself, they still know a bit about the outside world.

Namely, that its Spiritual Qi has withered to a terrifying degree.

It’s almost no different from having no Spiritual Qi at all.

Not to mention Princess Consort Le, who has already lived in the outside world for several years.

It’s just that, looking at Lin Xi’s expression, she clearly wasn’t joking.

They immediately sank into confusion again.

However, they didn’t keep pressing about this matter.

Right now, the most important thing was still the situation in their Leqing Sect, and their own safety.

Since Yue Ying could so precisely target and hunt them down,

even Princess Consort Le, who was in the outside world, hadn’t been spared.

Judging by this, this matter was really anything but ordinary.

Princess Consort Le couldn’t help asking, "Little Yue Chan, what exactly happened in the sect?"

"And also, how did the Sect Leader end up gone?"

When she said the last part, her tone clearly dipped a little.

Only she herself knew how deep her feelings for the Sect Leader ran; after all, in the eyes of the people in the sect, she had never had any good reputation.

Yet the Sect Leader had been like a gentle and kind older sister, never caring about anyone else’s opinion.

So the moment she heard the Sect Leader was gone, she said nothing, and rushed straight back to the Secret Realm she had left for many years.

Because she couldn’t believe that, with the Sect Leader’s health and strength, something like this would happen before sixty.

This was simply unbelievable.

In fact, it wasn’t just her; even the others in the sect found it hard to believe.

It was just that the Sect Leader’s second disciple had said she’d contracted some illness.

On top of that, none of the Innate Powerhouses in the sect stood up, or voiced any differing opinion.

Precisely because of that, no one went to question it face to face.

Gradually, everyone also started to accept this explanation.

Yue Chan and Leng Qin exchanged a look, hatred they couldn’t hide surfacing on both their faces.

Yue Chan said, "Master did not die from sickness!"

"She was killed by Junior Sister’s scheming."

The moment those words came out, aside from Lin Xi, Princess Consort Le and Red Moon were both stunned, especially Red Moon.

In her eyes, Yue Ying was flawless in everything she did, and in everyone’s eyes she was an extremely good person.

Toward her master, she was even more extraordinarily filial.

How could she possibly plot against her master?

This......impossible!

It was just that, if it wasn’t like this, then everything in front of her baffled her even more.

Unless, something had been misunderstood in the middle.

Princess Consort Le’s face sank; she said coldly, "Tell it in detail."

Yue Chan continued, "That day I was out on a mission with some junior sisters!"

"When we were coming back, before we even reached the sect, Sister Qin rushed over to tell me that Master was gone."

"I thought she was joking. After all, Master had always been very healthy, showing no sign of any illness at all."

"And Master had never mentioned anything like this to me."

"That’s absolutely impossible. If Master had any problem, she wouldn’t hide it from me, and I’ve never noticed any abnormality in her body."

"It was just that Sister Qin told me to leave the sect immediately, or it would be too late."

"After that Sister Qin told me,...."

When she got to this point, her emotions were clearly off, her voice already choked.

Beside her, Leng Qin patted her back and said, "Let me take it from here."

Princess Consort Le nodded, voicing no objection.

"Ten minutes before Little Yue Chan got back, I had some business and went to see the Sect Leader."

"When I walked up to the door of the Sect Leader’s room, I heard voices talking inside."

"Among them were Yue Ying and an Innate Powerhouse; I didn’t quite catch who it was, though."

"I just heard them saying that they would announce to the outside that the Sect Leader was dead, and that the reason was some illness."

"This was for Yue Chan’s reputation. After all, the Sect Leader had worried about her right up until her death, yet she had actually used poison to kill the Sect Leader!"

"That way, her name could be preserved, but under no circumstances could Yue Chan be let off."

"As for the Sect Leader’s position, it would be inherited by Yue Ying."

Leng Qin paused and glanced at the expressionless Princess Consort Le; she more or less understood what her stance was, and couldn’t help but feel much more at ease as she went on,

"The moment I heard that I knew something was wrong. Putting aside that I’ve watched Yue Chan grow up and know her too well—she would never do such a thing."

"Besides, everything the Sect Leader ate or drank never passed through Yue Chan. Yue Chan didn’t even have the opportunity."

"And another thing: no one was allowed to see the Sect Leader’s corpse at all. The key point is, I couldn’t tell which Innate Powerhouse that was, because the voice was a man’s."

"So this matter, absolutely, is Yue Ying’s problem."

"As for why I told Yue Chan to run, it’s because I noticed that Yue Ying had already made full preparations."

"She was just waiting for Yue Chan to show up, and then Yue Chan would definitely fall into a dead end."

Red Moon, who had kept silent, suddenly froze for a moment; not understanding, she asked, "Then why would Yue Ying still care about Yue Chan’s reputation and not tell the disciples in the sect?"

That was why she herself had no idea about this.

"If she told them, wouldn’t Yue Chan become the enemy of the entire sect?"

"At that point, her death would be even more certain."

At this moment, Princess Consort Le shook her head. "Little Yue Chan is very well liked in the sect. If Yue Ying had said it directly,"

"then at that time there would definitely be a group of people who wouldn’t believe it and would stand on Yue Chan’s side to think this through."

"Once everyone had enough time, they would definitely discover the suspicious points."

"So Yue Ying didn’t tell everyone, but instead had already arranged her trusted subordinates so that the moment they saw Yue Chan, they would kill her."

"Completely denying those who support Yue Chan any chance."

"In the end, once Yue Chan is dead, there’s nothing anyone can do!"

The logic was actually very simple: Yue Ying was pulling a "kill first, report later."

Besides, once Yue Chan heard Master had died, she definitely wouldn’t be on her guard.

In that case, more likely than not, she would quickly be driven into a dead end.

They just hadn’t expected that Leng Qin would learn everything and intercept Yue Chan halfway.

After that, under Leng Qin’s desperate persuasion, the two of them left the Leqing Sect.

Which meant that now, everyone in the sect probably believed Yue Chan was the murderer who killed her master.

Red Moon and the others didn’t know about this situation mostly because they had been too far from the sect and hadn’t returned for several days.

And that was exactly why Red Eyes had brought eleven people to kill Yue Chan.

Of course, though all of this carried a lot of speculation,

Princess Consort Le had already decided that Yue Ying was the killer.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone to such trouble to send people to the outside world to assassinate her.

That was clearly a problem.

Besides, she had always known Yue Chan and Yue Ying both extremely well.

She knew what kind of people the two of them really were.

Exactly because of that, she didn’t doubt whether what Yue Chan and Leng Qin said was true.

Another point: Leng Qin had formerly served the Sect Leader.

Her feelings for the Sect Leader were in no way less than Princess Consort Le’s feelings for Yue Chan.

"Have you rested enough?" She looked at Yue Chan and Leng Qin and asked.

Yue Chan and Leng Qin looked puzzled, but they still nodded; after all, Lin Xi’s pills worked frighteningly well.

"Then we’re going back now!"

Princess Consort Le stood up, a sliver of razor-sharp killing intent flashing in her eyes.
