Chapter 325: The Truth Is Revealed!

Ninth Elder, you're being courteous.

The Ninth Elder glanced around and said, "Miss Ye, have you run into any trouble?"

"To be frank, someone presented a Bloodline Detection report claiming it was issued by your Divine Medicine Sect, stating that my child and that beggar are father and son. I don't believe it, and since the Ninth Elder is here, could you verify it for me?"

The Ninth Elder's gaze followed Ye Qingran's and landed on Beggar Li Four kneeling on the ground, causing his brow to knit.

Where did that beggar come from? He dares to covet the Guest Minister Elder of their Divine Medicine Sect?

"Oh? There are still such despicable, shameless people? Miss Ye, rest assured, as long as I'm here, I'll definitely give you justice!"

The Ninth Elder said, turning his body toward Lin Xueyan and the others, "I heard there's a Divine Medicine Sect Bloodline Detection report here?"

Lin Xueyan heard this and felt a sudden jolt in her heart. She gave Mu Qingrou a glance; Mu Qingrou's eyes flickered, and she replied, "Ninth Elder, some time ago my Mu Family indeed commissioned the Divine Medicine Sect for a Bloodline Detection. The result I hold in my hand was also issued by the Divine Medicine Sect."

"Oh? Is that so? Then let me have a look at the report in your hand. After all, I've heard many people use the Divine Medicine Sect's name to swindle others!"

Lin Xueyan stepped forward, "Ninth Elder, I've already examined it; the report has no problem! No need to trouble you with another look!"

"Oh?" the Ninth Elder narrowed his eyes at Lin Xueyan, "You've examined it?"

"Yes!"

"Are you the Sect Master of the Divine Medicine Sect, or an Elder of the Divine Medicine Sect? Does your examination matter?" The remark was blunt. Lin Xueyan's complexion froze. She forced a smile, "When I was at the Summit of the Hunting Deer, I specifically studied the Divine Medicine Sect, so I shouldn't misread it…"

The Ninth Elder sneered, "The Divine Medicine Sect really has a big reputation. Miss Lin, at the Summit of the Hunting Deer, you ignored the Purple Extreme Dan Sect and chose to learn about our modest Divine Medicine Sect—what for?"

Those words were heavily sarcastic.

Yesterday, Lin Xueyan mocked the Divine Medicine Sect, saying it was only impressive in the Central Region, but in the Xi Ji Shengyu it was insufficient, utterly incomparable to the Purple Extreme Dan Sect, and even boasted about letting Lin Xuewei join the Purple Extreme Dan Sect for cultivation.

Lin Xueyan wore a smile, but deep down she mentally cursed the Ninth Elder's ancestors up to the eighteenth generation.

"Fine, I'll hold off for now. At least let me see those two blood samples you just mentioned," the Ninth Elder shifted his tone, his gaze landing on the three pharmacists.

The three physicians, who had been haughty, instantly lost their aura before the Ninth Elder.

However, they hesitated. They did have the blood samples, but the observation results they had just given were recorded in advance; handing the samples to the Ninth Elder would expose the ruse.

"What, something fishy? Too scared to show me?" the Ninth Elder bluntly exposed.

He then looked at the onlooking crowd, "Greetings, I am the Ninth Elder of the Divine Medicine Sect, experienced in Bloodline Detection. If they dare not show me the blood samples and the report, it means they're guilty; don't believe their words!"

With those words, Lin Xueyan and the others felt as if several slaps had struck their faces.

In the end, under pressure, the three pharmacists handed the blood samples to the Ninth Elder.

The Ninth Elder examined the two samples carefully, then wrote down the results separately.

After writing, he instructed the apprentice to take them, then looked at Mu Qingrou, "I heard you have a Bloodline Detection report issued by my Divine Medicine Sect? Coincidentally, this area is under my charge within the sect. If it truly is a Divine Medicine Sect report, it should bear my seal."

The Ninth Elder said, extending his hand toward Mu Qingrou, his meaning unmistakable.

Mu Qingrou felt a tingling on her scalp.

Unsure whether to hand it over, she glanced at Lin Xueyan. The Ninth Elder, having seen it, asked, "You the Mu Family paid for a Bloodline Detection—what do you think Lin Xueyan is doing? Could she be the one who truly controls your Mu Family?"

Many people caught the implied meaning.

Lin Xueyan's complexion turned very sour; she had no choice but to agree.

The Ninth Elder almost immediately knew the so‑called report was fake the moment he obtained it.

He didn't even need to read the content; the paper itself was different. He remained composed, skimmed the text, and smiled.

Lin Xueyan strained to keep her composure, "I don't know what you're laughing at, Ninth Elder?"

The Ninth Elder ignored her.

Ye Qingran asked at this moment, "Ninth Elder, is this report genuine?"

The Ninth Elder smiled and said, "Fake!"

Fake?

The words fell like a boulder into calm water.

"Ninth Elder, you must be mistaken?" Mu Qingrou shouted anxiously.

The Ninth Elder gave her a sidelong glance, "I am of the Divine Medicine Sect; how could I be wrong? I vouch with my reputation that this report is forged!"

"Bring me the bloodline observation results from those three physicians just now!"

The apprentice trembled as he handed over the two sheets; the Ninth Elder was delighted.

"Nonsense, completely irrelevant! The physician who wrote this observation can be buried in peace!"

The three esteemed physicians of Xiliang City flushed a deep red.

They stuck out their necks to retort, "Ninth Elder, this is only your one‑sided statement!" Implying they were bought by Ye Qingran to speak for her.

The Ninth Elder was unperturbed, "My one‑sided statement? Fine, if you don't believe me, that's fine. In fact, I've also summoned an elder from the Hundred Herbs Pavilion. Let him take a look as well!"

As soon as the words fell, an elder from the Hundred Herbs Pavilion actually stepped out of the crowd!

Normally that Hundred Herbs Pavilion elder wouldn't appear so readily, but who could deny the great favor he received from Ye Qingran yesterday?

He swiftly examined the blood samples, then wrote his results; compared with the Ninth Elder's, they matched perfectly!

Moreover, their results differed vastly from those on the Bloodline Detection report, clearly indicating they were not the same sample.

Thus, the truth is revealed!

"So… the Bloodline Detection report was fake! The three physicians were also bribed!"

"How terrifying! This is clearly aimed at Ye Qingran!"

"What a massive scheme! Such a tight deployment, link after link—I almost believed it was true!"

If the Ninth Elder's appearance alone couldn't explain anything, the Hundred Herbs Pavilion elder's involvement already clarifies everything.

"Mu Qingrou, you have such nerve, forging our Divine Medicine Sect's report. Mu Family, do you intend to be banned from medicine throughout the Central Region?"

The Ninth Elder shouted loudly.

Mu Qingrou's complexion turned ash‑white, and her body staggered.

Everyone was stunned.
