Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 18

by North Night (夜北)

  Both sides were unwilling to relent and they very nearly broke into a fight right there in the main palace hall.

  The Pure Grace Palace’s Elder was at that moment feeling highly confused. If this incident was irrefutably committed by Gu Ying, then things might be a little easier to deal with. At least the Dragon Slayers Palace would turn their target fully upon the Blood Fiend Palace and Gu Ying, and how they wanted to seek justice against Gu Ying, would be a matter between just the two palaces alone.

  But now, just the point on whether Zhuge Yin had left from his room had already mushroomed with so many different variables, making it impossible for anyone to firmly pin the crime onto Gu Ying.

  If things continued on like that, the ones implicated would not simply be just the Blood Fiend Palace and the Dragon Slayers Palace, but even their Pure Grace Palace would not be able to wash their hands off from it!

  Afterall, Zhuge Yin was killed in their Pure Grace Palace, and the reason for his death could not even be ascertained. In this situation, the Pure Grace Palace would then naturally incur the wrath of the Dragon Slayers Palace, and the Blood Fiend Palace would surely be displeased that they were implicated in the incident, and blame the Pure Grace Palace for handling the matter badly.

  At that moment, the highly ambiguous situation with two completely contradictory views quickly dragged the three palaces into the muck.

  In the palace hall, the Dragon Slayers Palace’s disciples and the Blood Fiend Palace’s disciples were engaged in a heated argument and Gu Ying stood in the middle of the hall with a cold expression on his face, his heart rising with a chill.

  He understood it now.

  Where the root of the problem lay.

  Watching that chaotic situation before his eyes, Gu Ying finally understood the true intent of Jun Wu!

  That kid not only wanted him to bear the crime of killing Zhuge Yin, but to also incite conflict between the Blood Fiend Palace and the Dragon Slayers Palace, by creating an unsolvable mystery under all this, and that was whether Zhuge Yin had come out from his room!

  If his guess was not wrong, then Zhuge Yin must have been just as the disciples from the Dragon Slayers Palace had said, where he had not stepped out from the room. And the person who had gone to meet Gu Xin Yan….. had been someone else.

  The motive behind all of this, was to make the death of the Dragon Slayers Palace’s Young Lord, exist to incite conflict between the three palaces!

  No matter what Gu Xin Yan said, the Dragon Slayers Palace’s people were adamant that she was just lying and that Gu Ying had been the killer. But with other conflicting statements and unresolved suspicions still present, the Pure Grace Palace did not dare to make any decision on it but try to smooth things over.

  In this way, the Blood Fiend Palace, the Dragon Slayers Palace and the Pure Grace Palace would be forced into a situation of conflict and unresolved grievances, to fight and hold a grudge among themselves.

  And all of this was because the truth behind Zhuge Yin’s death, could not be resolved!

  Compared to merely irrefutably pinning the blame for the death of Zhuge Yin on Gu Ying’s head, this was much more vicious!

  “Jun Xie….. I have truly underestimated you, to fall once again in your hands…..” Gu Ying said to himself, his eyes narrowed. As things stood, if he still did not fully see the plot Jun Xie had set him up in, he would really be too stupid!

  And in the current situation, even when he had seen through all of Jun Xie’s scheme, anything he said would not be believed…..

  Volume 18

  Chapter 1757: “The Show Begins (5)”

  The youths from the Dragon Slayers Palace and the Blood Fiend Palace were engaged in an awful argument before everyone in the main palace hall. The Pure Grace Palace’s disciples were beginning to lose control of the situation.

  And the youths from the other palaces who were here to catch the action were hoping that the incident would blow up, the bigger the better.

  With three palaces caught up within, wouldn’t it be just benefit the other palaces without needing to lift a finger?

  Jun Wu Xie remained hidden as she admired the fruits from all her labour. It was at this point that she could be certain that Gu Ying could not shake off the crime of having committed murder, and that her plan had succeeded.

  Under all that chaos, a figure came fumbling in a rush to reach the palace hall’s doors.

  Zi Jin looked on in shock at the chaotic commotion within the palace hall as she stared at Gu Ying who stood in the middle of the crowd, being cursed and sworn at by youths from the Dragon Slayers Palace, and her heart suddenly wrenched up.

  Just what had happened here?

  On her way here, Zi Jin had already heard the youths from other palaces discussing it, and known everything that had happened. But all of that, was really not as simple as she had initially thought.

  [Zhuge Yin has died…..]

  [Died under mysterious circumstances, and everyone had turned the blame for Zhuge Yin death upon Gu Ying.]

  From the moment she saw the figure of Gu Ying, Zi Jin had immediately felt like someone had sucked every bit of strength in her dry, and her legs had gone uncontrollably limp. Seeing that she was about to fall, she desperately held on to the palace hall’s door frame.

  [This must not continue on like this!]

  [Zhuge Yin was not killed by Young Master Gu! She must pull Gu Ying out of his quandary!]

  Zi Jin took a deep breath, and seeked to walk into the palace hall. At that moment, all that she was thinking in her mind was only to save Gu Ying, and besides that, nothing else mattered!

  Even if she had to expose her own identity, she would prove Gu Ying’s innocence.

  However, Zi Jin had just placed one foot into the Pure Grace Palace’s main palace hall when a powerful hand suddenly clasped over her mouth that stopped her cry of surprise from spilling out. Another powerful arm then quickly curled around her waist to forcefully drag her away from the palace hall’s doors.

  Inside the palace hall, it was a noisy clamour and no one even noticed Zi Jin’s arrival, nor did they see her being abducted by someone.

  Frantic with panic, Zi Jin’s gaze swept over the palace hall.

  Suddenly!

  She saw Jun Wu standing in a corner.

  Jun Wu was staring straight at her.

  That pair of cold clear eyes shocked her entire being!

  She saw Jun Wu raising up a hand, and pressing his index finger to his lips, to make a shushing gesture.

  Zi Jin’s eyes involuntarily widened, staring in disbelief at the completely calm Jun Wu, and a terrifying realization then rose up in her heart!

  [It’s him! This was all planned by Jun Wu from the start!]

  Zi Jin refused to believe all of it. But the reality before her eyes forced her to realize that every single action she took had never escaped Jun Wu’s notice.

  Jun Wu might have already known about her interaction with Gu Ying right from the beginning, and had even guessed that she would reveal the plan to Gu Ying…..

  Filled with all that fear and highly distraught, Zi Jin was silently brought away from the palace hall.

  Jun Wu Xie then turned her eyes back, to look at the racket in the palace hall, a faint smile rising at the edges of her mouth.

  To fully complete this one hell of a fracas, the most key person in all of this, was not her, but Hua Yao.

  Jun Wu Xie looked in the direction of where the low key Hua Yao was within the crowd. Nobody would have thought that the Zhuge Yin that Gu Xin Yan had met, was in reality Hua Yao in impersonation. And in order to throw off the Pure Grace Palace’s investigation, before Hua Yao made his move, Jun Wu Xie had intentionally made Hua Yao get into a big fight with Qiao Chu right before the disciples of their two palaces!

  Volume 18

  Chapter 1758: “Impossibly Stupid (1)”

  After that, Qiao Chu and Hua Yao had then engaged in a seemingly intense battle by borrowing the Pure Gra
ce Palace’s arena. Once out of the sight of everyone, Hua Yao had then taken the opportunity to undergo the transformation and slipped away, leaving Qiao Chu alone within the arena to create various sounds of battle, to confuse the youths outside the arena.

  Because the two of them had once gotten into a fight before during the Battle of Deities Grand Meet, it did not arouse any suspicion when the two of them stirred up such a furore.

  And behind all of this, it was all done to enable the plot to progress seamlessly, so that even if the Blood Fiend Palace and the Dragon Slayers Palace were to investigate into it, they would never find they answer that they seek, because of the irreconcilable situation Jun Wu Xie had set up for all of them, that they would never be able to resolve.

  Jun Wu Xie knew, that with this incident, there wouldn’t be any conclusion, and a thorn would be planted deep into the hearts of the three palaces.

  The death of the Dragon Slayers Palace’s Young Lord, would definitely not be brushed aside and covered up that easily.

  The chaos of the Twelve Palaces, would begin from this moment on.

  Jun Wu Xie was no longer interested in continuing to watch and she turned herself around silently, to cast a final glance at Gu Ying standing stiffly in the middle of the palace hall.

  This was justice sought on Fan Zhuo’s behalf, vengeance for killing one’s father where the two cannot coexist under the same sky!

  In the chaotic palace hall, nobody noticed Jun Wu Xie’s departure.

  Zi Jin was forcibly brought back to her room by Ye Gu, her mouth covered by Ye Gu’s hand the entire way. No matter how hard she struggled, she was unable to break free from Ye Gu’s grip.

  After Jun Wu Xie came out from the main palace hall, she came straight to Zi Jin’s room. In the room, Zi Jin kicked and beat at Ye Gu incessantly, still trying to break free. Ye Gu’s face had already turned a highly ugly shade and to prevent himself from crushing the life out of the girl who was seriously courting death, Ye Gu decided to bind Zi Jin up, and tied a handkerchief over her mouth, where she would not be able to move, not make a single sound.

  Zi Jin lay wretchedly tied to the chair, bound and gagged, her eyes highly reddened. When she saw Jun Wu come walking in, she struggled against her bonds, her mouth making endless muffled cries while the eyes that stared at Jun Wu Xie filled with incredulity.

  Jun Wu Xie slowly walked into the room, closing the door behind her and then went to sit down on a chair by the side. Throughout it all, Zi Jin’s bloodshot eyes did not leave that figure from beginning to end at all.

  “Ungh! Ungh!” Zi Jin continued to make unclear noises, her body struggling as she leaned forward. Ye Gu who was standing behind her furrowed his brows slightly and he stretched his hand out seeking to press her back down.

  Jun Wu Xie however suddenly raised a hand, stopping Ye Gu’s action where she then said instead: “Untie her.”

  Ye Gu was taken aback. Even a fool was able to see that Zi Jin was not showing Jun Wu Xie any friendliness. If she was released at this moment….. Ye Gu was a little hesitant. He subconsciously looked at Jun Wu Yao standing behind Jun Wu Xie and after receiving a slight nod from Jun Wu Yao, Ye Gu then stiffened his lips while he went to undo the restraints upon Zi Jin slightly begrudgingly.

  “Jun Wu! How can you be so despicable!” The moment Zi Jin regained her freedom, she immediately stood up and went leaping towards Jun Wu Xie with a hand raised up, and it was seen to be being thrown straight towards Jun Wu Xie’s face.

  But before Zi Jin could even touch Jun Wu Xie in the slightest, a tyrannical force crashed into Zi Jin’s abdomen, sending her entire being flying.

  “If you’re tired of living, I can grant you your wish.” Jun Wu Yao said smilingly as he stood behind Jun Wu Xie, the black mist gathered in his palm swirling, quietly menacing.

  Volume 18

  Chapter 1759: “Impossibly Stupid (2)”

  Zi Jin fell heavily to the ground, a mouthful of blood immediately spurting out from her mouth. She lay a wretched heap on the ground, her blood stained face slowly being lifted, the tears brimming in her eyes filled with brewing hatred as she stared fixedly at Jun Wu Xie.

  “I know that I am not your match, but Jun Wu, your despicable shamelessness would be discovered by people sooner or later. A person like you is not fit to be allied to our Palace Lord!” Zi Jin did not dare to recall, that desolate back of Gu Ying’s, back at the palace hall.

  Such a bright and gentle youth, but was forcefully pushed into an irrecoverable state of eternal condemnation by Jun Wu. An insidious mind like this, just send chills running through people.

  “Despicable shamelessness?” Jun Wu Xie asked with an eyebrow lifting slightly. She stared at Zi Jin lying on the floor still vomiting blood. Hearing the admonishment coming out from Zi Jin’s mouth, all of a sudden, Jun Wu Xie’s mouth curled up into a smile, and a light laugh spilled out from her mouth.

  That laughter, immediately caused Zi Jin to be stunned.

  She had never seen Jun Wu laugh. This was the first time.

  “Zi Jin, have you forgotten your own identity? Or are you thinking of going back to tell your Palace Lord that because you have fallen for the Young Lord of the Blood Fiend Palace, you did not hesitate for a moment even at the expense of exposing your own identity and that of the Spirit Jade Palace by revealing in betrayal to Gu Ying the plan I told to you?” Jun Wu Xie’s eyes narrowed slightly. Zi Jin’s stupidity, was just too hilarious.

  Zi Jin was slightly taken aback.

  Jun Wu Xie then said: “Zi Jin, you are a disciple of the Spirit Jade Palace. Do you need me to remind you why the Spirit Jade Palace till this day could only hide themselves in Mount Fu Yao, why the disciples of the Spirit Jade Palace do not even dare to set foot outside into the world? Why all of you must still live your lives hiding in a cave, crawling through an ignoble existence?”

  As Jun Wu Xie spoke, she stood up from her chair and walked over to come before Zi Jin. She squatted down and then hooked a finger under Zi Jin’s chin to force her head to lift up and look into her eyes.

  “How many of your fellow seniors and juniors have the Twelve Palaces already killed? You are now actually telling me that I am despicable and shameless to plot against Gu Ying? I had not known that you are so benevolent that you would show pity to your very own enemy. Hm?” Jun Wu Xie’s voice was very soft, but when it fell into Zi Jin’s ears, it caused her entire body to tremble uncontrollably.

  Zi Jin’s lip trembled slightly and she was silent for quite a long while before she stuttered out: “Young Master Gu….. Young Master Gu is not the same!” Upon saying that, Zi Jin bolstered up her courage and slapped Jun Wu’s hand away!

  “Young Master Gu is different from the other people from the Twelve Palaces! He is very kind and gentle. Even when he knew my identity, he did not do anything that had harmed me! He had even wanted to protect me, and help me keep the secret!” Zi Jin’s voice continued to rise in pitch. She seemed to be trying to convince Jun Wu, but it was more like she was convincing herself.

  Jun Wu’s words had shocked her heart. She had not considered before, that with her revelation of the Spirit Jade Palace before Gu Ying’s eyes, what kind of a calamity it could bring upon their palace. But she did not dare continue on with that thought. She firmly believed that Gu Ying was different. She believed that Gu Ying would definitely not do anything that would harm her and the Spirit Jade Palace.

  “Kind? Gentle?” Jun Wu Xie laughed. This was the first time that she was hearing anyone use two such ridiculous terms to describe such a bloodthirsty youth.

  “You really should go outside and have a good look around. Do you know why Gu Ying was asked to leave by the Cloudy Brook Academy in the beginning?” Jun Wu Xie asked.

  Zi Jin shook her head.

  Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes and then said: “Because when he was in the Cloudy Brook Academy, he dug out a young girl’s eyes, just because….. he felt that she had a very beautiful pair of eyes.”

>   Volume 18

  Chapter 1760: “Impossibly Stupid (3)”

  “What…..” Zi Jin widened her big eyes slightly, unable to believe what she had just heard.

  [Dug out someone’s eyes….. Gu Ying? How could that be possible! ?]

  “You’re lying to me! It’s impossible! Young Master Gu is so gentle, how could he possibly commit such a awfully gory deed! ? You’re obviously finding excuses for yourself!” Zi Jin’s entire body was shaking as she rebutted Jun Wu.

  Jun Wu Xie then said: “Am I really lying to you or are you lying to yourself? What kind of a place do you think the Blood Fiend Palace is? Whether it’s true or not, you will know when you go back and ask your own Palace Lord.” Jun Wu Xie knew very well, that though the Spirit Jade Palace Lord does not step out from the Spirit Jade Palace, but towards everything happening outside, he would naturally have his own channels to know about them, and as to what kind of person Gu Ying was, it was no longer any kind of secret within the Twelve Palaces.

  “It can’t be….. You are lying to me! Young Master Gu couldn’t possibly…..” Zi Jin still wanted to struggle, but Jun Wu Xie had run out of patience to continue listening to her endless gibberish.

  A smack then sounded crisply. Jun Wu Xie’s slap had struck Zi Jin right across her face!

  “This slap, is gifted to you as an ally of the Spirit Jade Palace. You are not able to recognize your own identity clearly and colluded with the enemy, completely disregarding my safety and that of the Spirit Jade Palace. Zi Jin, could it be that your brain is so besotted with the youth you admire that it is filled with nothing else? If there comes a day that the Blood Fiend Palace descends upon the Spirit Jade Palace in slaughter, you must remember it clearly that you are the one that brought it all upon them.” Jun Wu Xie stood up. Truth to be told, she just could not be bothered to waste her breath on such an imbecile, one who could not see people for who they are, an idiot that was incapable of telling right from wrong, as no matter how much she said, it would not cure her of her stupidity.
