Chapter 606 Slapping in the Face, Tearing Off the Evil Doctor's True Colors [2 Updates]
"..."
The bedroom was quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind outside the window.
The silence was terrifying.
Qiu Man turned around from in front of the dressing mirror, slowly putting down the horn comb, her face showing utter confusion: "What? How could I have taken your token?"
As she spoke, she smiled slightly, her voice gentle: "Didn't you accidentally lose the token and the Evil Doctor find it?"
"Your right hand." Ying Zijin remained unmoved and calm. "Take a look and see if black lines have already appeared."
Qiu Man subconsciously looked at her right hand, but found nothing there.
Two seconds later, she realized what was happening, her face turning icy: "You tricked me?!"
"Oh, sorry." Ying Zijing's apology was insincere and her tone was perfunctory. "I miscounted by three seconds. Three, two, one."
As the last sound faded, a piercing pain shot through Qiu Man's right hand, and her expression changed.
Soon, her entire right arm became paralyzed.
But Qiu Man reacted quickly as well.
She inserted three gold needles into her hand and sealed the acupoints on her right arm, preventing the spread of the toxins.
However, her right palm was completely covered by black lines, making it look ferocious and terrifying.
Qiu Man slowly exhaled and actually smiled: "Impressive, truly impressive. Heroes emerge from among the young. I indeed did not detect the poison on your token."
"I didn't expect that you deliberately placed the token there."
Two small mistakes exposed her.
A century of concealment has come to naught today.
"You know I'm a wicked healer, and you know I cultivate both ancient medicine and martial arts, yet you still dared to come here alone," Qiu Man said with interest. "Are you certain I won't do anything to you?"
"Ying Zijin, I have to admire your boldness."
"Yes, I am the leader of the Evil Doctors. I have 1,800 Evil Doctors under my command. You would never guess who I am."
When she said those words, it meant she was no longer hiding her true feelings.
Ying Zijin looked at her calmly.
"Actually, I'm quite reluctant to get rid of you." Qiu Man sighed softly. "Do you know that, apart from Feng Lan, you are the most talented alchemist I have ever seen?"
Ying Zijing's eyes turned slightly cold.
Feng Lan was Fu Xishou's exceptionally talented disciple.
He has an exceptional talent for alchemy and acupuncture, and his blood also has wonderful uses.
When she returned to Earth and met Fu Xi, the topic they talked about most was Feng Lan.
Fu Xi was filled with self-blame and regret for not being able to protect his disciple.
“Speaking of Fenglan, her death was truly tragic.” Qiu Man laughed again. “That was almost a hundred years ago. We were both in our twenties then, and we were friends. She became a disciple of Fu Xi, while I did not.”
“She would teach me what she had learned, so she could never believe that I would be an evil doctor.”
Qiu Man began to speak to herself: "First, I poisoned her to make her mute, cut off her tongue to use as medicine, then plucked out her hair one by one, and finally bled her out."
“I used her blood to concoct a new medicine, and it is indeed effective; it can cure all poisons.”
Ying Zijing lowered her eyelashes and said in a low voice, "You took over the Pill Alliance so that you could better harm the geniuses of the ancient medical world."
She only heard about it later from the Grand Elder; members of the Pill Alliance would occasionally disappear, and they were all on the list.
But there weren't many of them, and no one suspected they were quack doctors.
“Not bad.” Qiu Man clicked her tongue. “Yes, and the Fourth Elder. I knew a long time ago that the Fourth Elder’s family was coming to the Pill Alliance, so I went ahead of time. He’s really pitiful. His son knelt on the ground begging me to spare his wife.”
“But how could I let him go? I killed his wife first, and then he killed him. Later, I comforted the fourth brother and gave him a lot of compensation. He was very grateful to me, but he didn’t know that I was the one who wiped out his whole family.”
Qiu Man laughed until tears streamed down her face: "Isn't this hilarious?"
Ying Zijing clenched her fingers: "No wonder."
The guards sent by the Fourth Elder were from the Dan Alliance, Qiu Man's subordinates. It would be most convenient for Qiu Man to take action.
But Qiu Man's prestige in the Dan Alliance was so high that no one doubted her.
"Alright, that's enough said, Ying Zijing. You still have a chance," Qiu Man said proudly. "What's the difference between an evil doctor and an ancient doctor? We evil doctors pursue the ultimate in medical skills!"
"I am confident that I can train you to be even stronger than Fu Xi, and if you join me, we can go to a better place in the future."
As she spoke, her expression became somewhat dazed: "You would never guess that it is a technologically advanced city, a city overflowing with wealth. Compared to that place, the ancient martial arts world is nothing more than a tiny speck."
"The people of that place are the true masters of the earth!"
Ying Zijing's eyes narrowed suddenly: "Where?"
She was certain that Qiu Man was referring to where Norton was right now.
She deduced that Qiu Man was an evil doctor, but she didn't expect that Qiu Man was also connected to that mysterious place.
"How could I possibly tell you?" Qiu Man's smile vanished, her expression turning cold. "Your attitude shows that you don't want to become an evil doctor."
“I really don’t want to be a wicked doctor,” Ying Zijing said slowly. “The medicines you concoct are truly disgusting.”
"Very well, what a pity, Ying Zijin, I gave you a choice." Qiu Man's gaze was icy, and she sneered, "I'll put my words here: if you go out and say I'm an evil doctor, no one will believe you."
"Do you think your status in the field of ancient medicine can compare to mine?"
That's true.
The Dan Alliance has a history of over a hundred years, and Qiu Man is the second leader of the alliance.
Throughout the thousands of years of ancient medicine practitioners in the Danmeng, everyone has a genuine respect for Qiu Man.
On ordinary days, Qiu Man is always the kind and caring elder who looks after the younger generation.
"Guards!" Qiu Man shouted sharply. "I mistook her for someone else. The Evil Doctor really is Ying Zijing. She hid herself so well, but I still caught her. Guards, come quickly!"
The lights outside suddenly came on, and hurried footsteps echoed.
The Grand Elder was the first to arrive. He pushed open the door in surprise: "Alliance Leader? What did you say? Miss Ying, she..."
Qiu Man pressed her arm and said coldly, "She came to me tonight to ask me a question, but in reality she wanted to kill me to silence me. Luckily, I was more skilled and managed to find out her identity."
The Grand Elder immediately noticed Qiu Man's blackened hand and exclaimed in shock, "Alliance Leader, you've been poisoned!"
Even Qiu Man was poisoned, so how good must Ying Zijin's poison-making ability be?
Within half a minute, the guards and elders arrived.
The Fourth Elder hated the Evil Doctor to the core, and he never doubted Qiu Man.
Upon seeing Qiu Man poisoned, his eyes widened in fury: "Ying Zijin, it really was you! How could you be so heartless as to harm a baby?!"
The Grand Elder hesitated: "Alliance Leader, isn't there some misunderstanding? Everything was clearly stated at the meeting—"
“There’s no misunderstanding. You still don’t believe me?” Qiu Man interrupted the Grand Elder, looking down at him. “Arrest him and send him directly to the Judicial Hall. The Judicial Hall has many kinds of punishments. Make him reveal all the other evil doctors.”
"yes!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the guard stepped forward.
"Alliance Leader Qiu Man, you've made another fatal mistake." Ying Zijing looked up. "And how do you think that I came to see you alone without any preparation?"
Qiu Man's expression froze.
"Enough with the nonsense!" the Fourth Elder roared. "Arrest him!"
As the leader of the alliance, Qiu Man holds a very high position in their hearts, which is unmatched by anyone else.
Ying Zijin rolled up her sleeves, a long, black object between her fingers.
This is a voice recorder.
She pressed the play button.
The conversation between the two people earlier still echoed in everyone's ears.
—Yes, I am the leader of the Evil Doctors, and I have 1,800 Evil Doctors under my command. You would never guess who they are.
—And the Fourth Elder, I knew long ago that the Fourth Elder's family was coming to the Pill Alliance, so I went ahead of time. He was really pitiful. His son knelt on the ground begging me to let his wife go, but how could I let her go?
The Fourth Elder's body stiffened instantly, and he froze, staring blankly at Qiu Man, as if struck by lightning.
His lips trembled: "Alliance Leader?!"
The First Elder reacted the fastest: "Fourth Brother, you still call her Alliance Leader? She's an evil healer!"
Everyone else was shocked as well.
Qiu Man's expression changed from astonishment to gloom, and she squeezed out her voice through clenched teeth: "Very well, Ying Zijin, you've tricked me again. This time, you're lucky!"
She unleashed her inner strength, and her feet moved with the speed of the wind!
They left the room in an instant at an extremely fast speed.
At the same time, the vases and other items in the room floated up under the influence of internal energy and crashed down on the crowd with a clang.
This wouldn't hurt them, but it was enough to send Qiu Man far away.
The Grand Elder gasped: "Internal strength manifesting externally, a master of ancient martial arts!"
