Chapter 775: Little Qi, so you're back

Was Gu Beiyue harboring doubts and placing his hopes on Gu Qishao instead?

But what did Gu Qishao want to do?

“Doctor Gu…” Han Yunxi mumbled.

Gu Beiyue recovered enough to look at her with a light smile. “Don’t worry.”

At this moment, a man dressed in military garb stood up from the audience. He proclaimed loudly, “Academy Head Gu, Tianning’s Great General Ning has already sent troops down south. Tianning is willing to cooperate with Medical City’s arrangements and disregard past grudges. We’ll join hands to destroy the Poison Sect and protect Cloud Realm!”

“Such cardinal principles of righteousness shouldn’t leave out my Western Zhou!” Duanmu Baiye raised his hand next.

The man sitting next to the Northern Li Head Imperial Physician raised his right hand as well. “Count my Northern Li as a companion!”

“Han Yunxi took advantage of His Highness Duke of Qin’s absence to collude with General Baili’s estate and arrogate military power to trap us five prominent clans. This old man came today just to ask you ladies and gentlemen to help the south central region’s people out of their misery!” Clan Head Xiao stood up next.

As expected, there were no such things as eternal allies or enemies, just eternal interests! For the sake of self interest, friends could turn against each other, brothers could betray each other, old enemies could form an alliance, different nations could walk the same path! How could any of these people truly care about the life and death of the people? How could they have any sense of righteousness? All they wanted was benefits and profits. After destroying the south central region’s commander-in-chief’s estate, they could split up its land as they liked. 

Han Yunxi looked coldly towards Mu Qingwu. She was curious as to why Tianan had sent him out to participate in the Apricot Woods Conference. As it turned out, Tianan Country had long predicted that Medical City would play this move. Medicine City didn’t express any views, but they had long cut off supplies to the south central regions. Meanwhile, more great clans expressed their views while Mu Qingwu remained silent.

Perhaps Han Yunxi still held wild hopes for that upright young man, but she kept staring at Mu Qingwu. Yet in the end, he disappointed her.

Mu Qingwu raised his hand and cried, “Tianan agrees to join in everyone’s united efforts!”

Han Yunxi sighed and turned back. Her disappointment wasn’t blaming Mu Qingwu for forsaking his old life-saving debt at her hands, but the fact that such an upstanding and candid general could not only act so poorly in defense of his little sister, but in major matters of principles concerning human lives. 

In his bones, Mu Qingwu disdained Medical City. His heart was burning with indignation, but he was helpless. Before he came to Medical City, his father had already told him a thousand times to act according to his discretion and follow the majority. He mustn’t stick out. There was no way he could defy his father’s orders, which were military law. Once, he disobeyed and contradicted his father for the sake of helping Han Yunxi. But he had never gone against military law. Having joined the army since he was young, he always took laws of the army as an immovable mountain.

Nearly all of the representatives had expressed their support, letting Han Yunxi see Medical City’s formidable rallying strength. At the same time, she witnessed everyone’s hypocritical faces. This was the first time in her life that she earnestly wished to join hands with Long Feiye to destroy all of these powers and stamp on their sham mouths. They could fight across all of Cloud Realm Continent and create a whole new country with a different world order.
