Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 6

by North Night (夜北)

  Li Zi Mu had not been popular in the Spirit Healer faculty and it was due to Gu Li Sheng’s obvious and blatant favouritism shown to him which had earned Li Zi Mu the jealousy and hatred from the other disciples in the Spirit Healer faculty. But that hatred and jealousy was still not enough to cause them to be completely unmoved by Li Zi Mu’s death when faced with an external enemy who dared to cut down one of their own, and they would never easily forgiven.

  Chapter 580: “Prep for Slap (3)”

  Jun Wu Xie’s expression was cold as she walked out from under the many gazes so filled with hatred and had not expected to bump in a “old familiar face” just as her front foot just stepped out of the Spirit Healer faculty.

  “Little Xie! What a coincidence! I didn’t think I’ll see you here.” Ning Xin had been patiently waiting before the gates into the Spirit Healer faculty for a long while. When she spotted Jun Xie, she put on her best smile and approached the lad. The smile was as sweet as the spring breeze and so gentle that no one would ever feel threatened by such a amicable display of friendship. Compared to the cold stares filled with hidden daggers behind them that she had been getting from everyone else these days, Ning Xin’s demeanor inadvertently stood out, one of its own kind.

  Jun Wu Xie’s steps stopped as she looked at Ning Xin, whose smile almost reached her ears.

  Ning Xin’s face might be locked in a wide friendly smile, but her heart was chill, filled with disdain.

  The moment that Jun Xie had stepped into the Spirit Healer faculty, Yin Yan had immediately run to Ning Xin to bring her the news, and Ning Xin had immediately hurried over and waited beside the gates.

  After having been in the Zephyr Academy for so long, with the exception of the first day after he was admitted, Jun Xie had never shown his face at the Spirit Healer faculty anymore. But when she found out that Jun Xie had suddenly gone to the Spirit Healer faculty today, it had made Ning Xin secretly gladdened.

  [The crime of murdering a fellow disciple was in no way petty and the Headmaster had been pressured from many sides to drive Jun Xie out of the Zephyr Academy. The little lad who had pretended to be calm about it all this while must be starting to panic.]

  Having stirred up such a huge uproar, even the Fan Brothers would not be able to shield Jun Xie completely.

  When she became aware that Jun Xie had gone to the Spirit Healer faculty bright and early in the morning, Ning Xin was mightily pleased.

  Seeing the cold expression on Jun Xie’s face, Ning Xin was nevertheless unaffected and continued to say smiling: “Little Xie, I’ve heard about all that is being said in the academy….. The matter….. has grown to become a little too big. I saw Big Brother Fan Jin going to Uncle Headmaster’s office several times to plead for you, but…..”

  Ning Xin put on an expression of helplessness and sighed heavily.

  “I don’t think coming to Uncle Gu will help. Uncle Gu does not bother himself with such matters. To make matters worse, Li Zu Mu was a favoured disciple of Uncle Gu’s, and Li Zi Mu’s sudden death had greatly angered Uncle Gu. Uncle Gu has gotten people to investigate the matter thoroughly and it has caused these rumours to surface. And I think Uncle Gu must still be very angry about it.”

  Although Ning Xin only knew that Jun Xie had gone to see Gu Li Sheng, but she thought that was all she needed to know.

  She knew that Gu Li Sheng had a gentle personality but was always fiercely protective of the disciples of the Spirit Healer faculty. Yin Yan had previously often told her of how much Gu Li Sheng had always shown Li Zi Mu extraordinary care and concern. And now that Li Zi Mu had died, and the matter was inexorably linked to Jun Xie, so it would be inconceivable that Gu Li Sheng would still be civil and extend his courtesy to Jun Xie, that would be unbelievable.

  Confident that Jun Xie would not have received a single kind word from his meeting with Gu Li Sheng, Ning Xin’s heart was suddenly feeling a lot lighter.

  However, the expression on Jun Wu Xie’s face remained stone cold, and her eyes expressionless with calm, as she looked at the pretentious Ning Xin.

  Lying upon Jun Wu Xie’s shoulders, the little black cat snorted in contempt.

  [Is this little girl going by the name of Ning Xin, a complete idiot? She’s so hopelessly dumb that she doesn’t know how horrible a fate she will soon meet the day after.]

  [Still prattling on the nonsense between Gu Li Sheng and his especially favoured disciple, Li Zi Mu, and the non existent investigation he ordered because of his rage.]

  [All pure nonsense!]

  [It had been with its Mistress all this while and it had witnessed every single thing.]

  [Gu Li Sheng had not shown a single sliver of grief or sadness. From the beginning to the end, he had not even mentioned Li Zi Mu’s name a single time!]

  [All these upheaval, must have been the work of this dumb little girl!]

  [With that complete lack of a brain, she is pitting herself against its Mistress?]

  [What a “meownificant” joke!]

  “Meow~”

  [Mistress, let’s not waste our breath on such dumb dumbs, or her low intelligence might become contagious.]

  Chapter 581: “Prep for Slap (4)”

  The little black cat grumbled endlessly impatiently.

  Jun Wu Xie raised up a hand and patted the little black cat on its rear before raising her eyes to look at Ning Xin whose expression was looking deeply concerned.

  “What’s true and what’s false, we will know for sure tomorrow. You don’t have to concern yourself with it.” After saying those words, Jun Wu Xie immediately resumed her steps to leave.

  Just as the black cat had said, if she continued the conversation with Ning Xin any further, it would only be a further affront to her intelligence!

  Ning Xin stared flabbergasted at the departing figure of Jun Xie, never expecting that Jun Xie would still be so cold and aloof under the current circumstances! She was suddenly left feeling highly humiliated and badly snubbed!

  “Jun Xie! You dare snub me so! ? You just wait! One fine day, I will have you come crawling, pleading for me to save you!” Ning Xin gritted her teeth as she stared furiously at the back of the disappearing Jun Wu Xie, wishing fervently that she was able to shred that back to pieces.

  “Yin Yan!” Ning Xin gave out a loud shout.

  Yin Yan who had been hidden in the shadows appeared immediately.

  “Senior Ning.”

  “Relay my orders to all of them! I want the matter about Jun Xie murdering Li Zi Mu to be fully blown up! Within three days, I want to hear of the notice from Fan Qi that Jun Xie has been expelled!”

  Yin Yan shivered, and asked hesitatingly: “Senior Ning, wouldn’t that be a little too much….. Those highly skilled purple spirits…..”

  Ning Xin replied with a cold laugh and said: “What are you afraid of? I am not responsible for all these. Didn’t I say it earlier? All this started because Gu Li Sheng ordered for an investigation into the matter. I do not believe that anyone in this world would go against Gu Li Sheng, the founder of Spirit Healing, to protect a little brat.”

  Yin Yan gulped. He was shocked that Ning Xin had even included Gu Li Sheng’s name into her plot.

  That might be a little too reckless for his taste.

  …..

  By the time Jun Wu Xie got back to the bamboo grove, Fan Jin was acting like he had hot coals in his pants. He could not sit still and paced endlessly within the little yard.

  When he spotted Jun Wu Xie, he shot like an arrow over to her and proceeded to look at Jun Wu Xie from head to toe. And only after he was sure that she was not hurt in any way that he let out a big sigh of relief.

  “Where did you go?” Fan Jin asked worriedly.

  “To see Gu Li Sheng.” Jun Wu Xie glanced at Fan Jin and saw how anxious he was, knowing that he was just concerned about her safety.

  Fan Jin’s personality wasn’t too bad, just that he was a little….. too o
bvious.

  If he had possessed just half of Fan Zhuo’s intelligence, Jun Wu Xie would not feel so burdened when communicating with him.

  Never ever put a person who was socially impaired together with another person with a one tracked mind to devise any schemes. They would both collapse from the effort before they come up with anything.

  “Uncle Gu?” As expected, Fan Jin had not caught on to Jun Wu Xie’s line of thought and was still befuddled.

  Standing before the bamboo dwelling, Fan Zhuo looked on helplessly at his not exactly bright brother, and could do nothing but only shake his head in resignation.

  “When are you making your move?” Fan Zhuo asked without needing Jun Xie to explain, and knew the purpose of his visit to Gu Li Sheng.

  “Tomorrow.” Just as she thought. It was so much easier to talk to more intelligent people.

  “That fast?” Fan Zhuo asked, his eyebrow raised.

  “The Rui Lin Army will be arriving the day after tomorrow.” At the mention of the Rui Lin Army, Jun Wu Xie’s chilly eyes softened a little and she lowered her eyes. The air and demeanor about her seemed to feel less unapproachable as well.

  “Rui Lin Army? What is happening here? I had heard you and my brother mention them before, but what does the actions you are going to take have got to do with the Rui Lin Army?” Having noticed the obvious change that had come over Jun Wu Xie, Fan Zhuo was feeling rather intrigued.

  Just what powers did the Rui Lin Army possess, that the mere mention of them had been able to change the air around Jun Xie and his demeanor in a moment.

  Hearing the name of the Rui Lin Army, Fan Jin’s expression froze.

  During the period of the Spirit Hunt, Fan Zhuo had remained within the little bamboo grove and did not know a thing about what had happened in the Battle Spirits Forest.

  Chapter 582: “Slight Longing”

  When they returned, Fan Jin had not wanted all those dirty dealings to pollute his little brother’s ears and had not mentioned a word about it.

  In regards to Jun Wu Xie’s true identity, besides Qiao Chu and his gang, Fan Jin was the only other person who knew, throughout the whole Zephyr Academy.

  The Young Miss of the most ferocious strike force! The daughter of the Lin Palace’s Jun Family!

  About the incident that Ning Xin had attempted to get the men from the Rui Lin Army killed in the Battle Spirits Forest, Fan Zhuo did not have the slightest clue.

  “It’s linked.” Jun Wu Xie said as she nodded slightly.

  Fan Zhuo firmly believed, that the three words “Rui Lin Army”, held extraordinary meaning for Jun Xie.

  “Rui Lin Army….. I have heard of them before. Is it an army from the Qi Kingdom?” Fan Zhuo was suddenly very curious about the Rui Lin Army.

  “Yes….. Yes…..” Fan Jin replied in a stutter, looking nervously at Fan Zhuo. He did not really want Fan Zhuo to become involved in such matters. He wanted Fan Zhuo to be able to recuperate in peace and get well. He should not hear about all these insidious ploys and crafty schemes and he did not need to know about them.

  It was only recently that Fan Zhuo’s health had shown some improvements and Fan Jin did not want anything untoward to happen.

  Being the intelligent people that they were, when Jun Wu Xie and Fan Zhuo saw Fan Jin’s uncomfortable expression, the two of them immediately ceased, and did not mention another word about the Rui Lin Army.

  It was only after Fan Jin left, that the gentleness in Fan Zhuo’s smile disappeared, and was quickly replaced by an inquisitive one.

  “Shouldn’t you be telling me what actually happened in the Battle Spirits Forest already? The Rui Lin Army must have some links to you right?” Fan Zhuo asked Jun Xie, his curiosity piqued.

  Jun Wu Xie gazed at Fan Zhuo, and she started to frown.

  There wasn’t too much to tell, but it wasn’t that little either, as the explanation would implicate many other things. If she was to explain it…..

  Jun Wu Xie felt that it might require quite a bit of effort.

  “Another day. Go ask Qiao Chu about it.” Jun Wu Xie nonchalantly threw the burden of giving such a long string of explanations to Qiao Chu. That trait of Jun Wu Xie, made Fan Zhuo feel like crying at that moment.

  “You must really….. loathe to speak a lot.” After having spent such a long time with Jun Xie, Fan Zhuo had already gotten a good grasp of Jun Xie’s personality. Instead of saying that he is cold and arrogant, it was more like he lacked the skills in socialising with others.

  In their daily chats and usual interactions, Jun Xie would mostly give a reply. But when it called for lengthy rant to explain, she would either zip up and remain silent, or throw the task to someone else.

  Jun Wu Xie wrinkled her nose and got up to leave.

  She did not know why, but an image of an demonically wild, but perfectly handsome face suddenly appeared in her mind.

  That one person who would always appear unpredictably and disappear just as suddenly, who had always somehow forced her to open her mouth to speak, had not been seen for quite a long while.

  In the beginning, Jun Wu Xie spoke even less than she did now, but that person had incorrigibly and adamantly continued to harass her, making her slowly learn to become aware of emotions like displeasure, and to give vent to them. That was how she gradually began to speak a little more, bit by bit.

  After the last parting in the Phoenix Academy, she had not seen him for rather long.

  So many things had happened in the Zephyr Academy and she had not thought of that person much.

  But suddenly out of the blue, an image of that person’s face had surfaced in her mind.

  A sudden urge gripped at her heart which made her say:

  “Ye Sha.”

  A shadow streaked in through the window, falling into a kneeling position neatly before Jun Wu Xie.

  “Your subordinate awaits the Missy’s orders.”

  Jun Wu Xie did not raise her head, but her eyes remained staring at her own palm. With a flick of her fingers, silver needles suddenly appeared in her hands.

  Back at the Lin Palace, she had used these very needles to stab into that person’s death acuppoint. That time, the person’s warm blood had flowed down the length of the needles and collected in her palm. That had been so long ago….. She could not explain it, but suddenly, it seemed as though she could still feel the same warmth on the silver needles that she had felt then.

  “My elder brother….. where is he at the moment?” Jun Wu Xie asked in a voice so soft as to be almost inaudible.

  “Your humble subordinate does not know.” Ye Sha replied, his voice low and solemn.

  Jun Wu Xie bit on her lip and said: “You’re dismissed.”

  Ye Sha stood up, and when he reached the doors, his steps stopped.

  “Although your subordinate does not know where Master Wu Yao is, but if your subordinate is correct, he might not be in the Lower Realm at the moment. Things that can heal one’s soul, can only be found in the Middle Realm.”

  Jun Wu Xie raised her head suddenly.

  “My brother is from the Middle Realm?”

  She had always felt that Jun Wu Yao was exceptionally mysterious. His powers were so strong as to be able to defy the Heavens. Jun Wu Yao’s might could easily dominate over anyone Jun Wu Xie had ever seen. Ye Sha had shown that his powers were about on par with those people from the Twelve Palaces in the Cloudy Peaks, and as Ye Sha’s Lord, Jun Wu Yao’s powers, would naturally not be inferior to Ye Sha’s.

  Although Jun Wu Xie had had her own guesses about it all this while, it was only at this moment that she confirmed her suspicions.

  Ye Sha did not say a word, and just silently left the room.

  Jun Wu Xie lay down on her bed, and Lord Meh Meh trotted over and jumped up. It used its rotund body to squeeze the little black cat away from
Jun Wu Xie’s side, and snuggled up closer to find itself a comfortable position, sticking itself close to Jun Wu Xie as it laid itself down.

  “Not in the Lower Realm?” Jun Wu Xie asked herself as she laid the back of her hand on her cool forehead. Even she did not know what was wrong with herself today.

  Why did she suddenly think of Jun Wu Yao?

  The emotions that filled her heart were strange and unfamiliar to her and it made her feel rather helpless and lost. There was a slight twinge that tugged at her heart and she could not explain or pinpoint the problem properly.

  As she laid upon the soft bedding, Jun Wu Xie’s eyes slowly closed as she slowly drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

  It was brought and early the next morning when all the disciples of the Zephyr Academy were gathered. They were supposed to have gone for training but they were suddenly notified to immediately gather at the Zephyr Academy’s assembly square.

  The square was packed with youths, as the disciples followed their respective teachers’ lead, to stand in neat rows as they filed in.

  The Zephyr Academy seldom gathered all the disciples so formally and the square was filled with chatter and debate. Everyone was trying to guess the reason behind the sudden decision for all the disciples and teachers congregate so suddenly.

  “This must have something to do with Jun Xie.” One of the youths among the crowd whispered loudly, attracting the attention of many other disciples.

  “How can that be? You think she is capable of causing every single one of us to be mobilised like this in such a grand fashion?”

  “That just shows how ignorant you are. One of my dorm mates is a disciple of the Spirit Healer faculty. He told me Jun Xie had suddenly appeared at the Spirit Healer faculty yesterday. Didn’t you hear about that?” Another youth exclaimed proudly.
