Chapter 378

"That day, the one who saved me at Cao Mu Xuan was not Lin Xuewei, it was Ye Qingran!"

Those words echoed in everyone's ears.

Everyone looked at Lady Leng with utter astonishment.

Lady Leng said that the person who saved her at Cao Mu Xuan that day was not Lin Xuewei, but Ye Qingran!

Ye Qingran is Lady Leng's lifesaving benefactor; what about Lin Xuewei?

When Lin Xuewei heard Lady Leng's words, her whole body went rigid, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her limbs went numb, her mind suddenly exploded, and she could only hear a "Buzz—" sound.

"No… this can't be… that day, that old woman was clearly unconscious, her consciousness was fuzzy; how could she know who saved her?"

Lin Xuewei recalled the scene of that day, and her complexion unconsciously turned ashen.

"So that's how it is!" Xia Zhimeng said after a brief shock, standing up, "I told you why you, Lin Xuewei, were helpless when Lady Leng's old illness flared up! It turns out you were never Lady Leng's lifesaving benefactor! My sister Ye Qingran is!"

If Lin Xuewei truly were Lady Leng's lifesaving benefactor, her reaction would never have been like that!

When everyone heard that, they couldn't help recalling how, when Lady Leng's old illness flared up earlier, they urged Lin Xuewei to rush and save Lady Leng, yet Lin Xuewei acted very hesitantly, as if unwilling…

So she was never Lady Leng's lifesaving benefactor!

The Lin Family members were all stunned.

One second they were proud of being members of the Lin Family, the next they didn't know what to do.

Lin Zhishang was the first to react, licking his lips cautiously, and asked, "Lady Leng, is there some misunderstanding here?"

Misunderstanding?

Lady Leng looked at Lin Zhishang, recalling how she had been duped like a fool by Lin Xuewei these past days, and her anger was uncontainable.

"Just now, the number of Silver Needle insertions and the acupoints Ye Qingran used on me were exactly the same as those the person who saved me used at Cao Mu Xuan that day!"

That is undeniably strong evidence.

Lin Xueyan twitched her eyebrows, feigning calm analysis, "Lady Leng, if we judge solely by the number of needles and acupoints, that's too hasty. Perhaps the number of needles and acupoints required for Acupuncture of your old illness is fixed; what do you think?"

When Lin Xueyan said that, everyone thought it wasn't without reason.

Lady Leng gave a self‑deprecating smile.

Does she really think she's a fool?

She smiled wryly, "That day, before my lifesaving benefactor left, he told me, 'You're lucky to have met me'!"

When those words were spoken, everyone's gaze faltered.

Because Ye Qingran had just said the same words!

If the Silver Needle evidence was still insufficient, this sentence alone suffices to explain everything.

Ye Qingran is indeed Lady Leng's lifesaving benefactor!

Everyone looked at the calmly standing figure.

She remained composed from start to finish, neither humble nor arrogant, unshaken by favor or disgrace.

Such bearing commands admiration.

"It really was Ye Qingran who saved Lady Leng! And Lin Xuewei? What role did she play in this?"

"Need I say more? It must be Lin Xuewei impersonating! Lady Leng is a person of Xuan Yuan Wang Chao, and Divine Medicine Sect is in the imperial capital of Xuan Yuan Wang Chao; Lin Xuewei must have met Lady Leng, so she could impersonate~"

"Coincidentally, Cao Mu Xuan is a Lin Family enterprise… it seems everything is already clear!"

The crowd murmured, their gazes at Lin Xuewei tinged with sarcasm.

"Miss Ye, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not recognizing you right away!"

Lady Leng was extremely vexed at this moment.

Clearly Ye Qingran was her lifesaving benefactor, yet she had been kept in the dark, treating the ill‑intentioned Lin Family members as benefactors, even showering Lin Xuewei with gifts, caring for her, and treating her like a daughter!

She never expected that she was not her lifesaving benefactor at all, just a petty impostor seeking unearned glory!

She couldn't help recalling that day at the Lin Family gate, when Lin Xuewei lost a Bet Agreement to Ye Qingran; she, favoring Lin Xuewei as her lifesaving benefactor, even employed her own status and the Dark Guard following her to intimidate Ye Qingran, aiming to spare Lin Xuewei…

Even just now, she rebuked Ye Qingran for bringing up that day's Bet Agreement!

Thinking so, her heart was full of remorse!

She truly is short‑sighted!

Ye Qingran gave a faint smile, detached, "It's just a trivial effort; Lady Leng need not thank me. Moreover, my saving Lady Leng is not without reward." Leng Feng said that whoever can awaken Lady Leng will agree to three promises for that person.

Lady Leng felt a deep sense of loss.

She thought her actions had wounded Ye Qingran's heart! That was why she treated her with such distant indifference.

In fact, Ye Qingran truly didn't care.

She saved people out of her own volition, guided by a healer's heart, never seeking anything in return.

"Lin Xuewei, I'm curious, what kind of shameless person could commit such despicable acts?"

Xia Zhimeng sneered at Lin Xuewei, sarcasm evident in the corners of her eyes.

Wasn't Lin Xuewei previously very smug? Relying on being Lady Leng's lifesaving benefactor, she looked down on everything, feeling superior.

The more glorious she once seemed, the more nauseating it became when her true face was exposed!

Upon hearing Xia Zhimeng's words, everyone's gaze at Lin Xuewei was like looking at a street rat.

Only now have they fully accepted that Lin Xuewei usurped Ye Qingran's credit, claiming herself to be Lady Leng's lifesaving benefactor!

Lin Xuewei is an outright, complete fraud!

"Tsk tsk, previously misdiagnosing at Cao Mu Xuan and refusing to admit it, even bribing fellow sect members to cover herself, now uncovered for impersonating another's lifesaving merit—this Lin Xuewei truly reaches the pinnacle of shamelessness!"

"Ha ha, that's a pretty slick move!"

"Ordinary people couldn't pull off something like this!"

The crowd pointed fingers at Lin Xuewei.

Lin Xuewei felt her scalp go numb, wishing she could crawl into a crack in the ground.

Lin Xuewei, the Blood Jade Bracelet that Grand General Leng gave as a gift to Madam Leng's lifesaving benefactor, how can you still have the nerve to keep wearing it?
