Chapter 780: Little Qi's slight smile

The commentary increased in volume with Gu Yuntian’s continued silence. This world wasn’t as wicked as one imagined. There were still people who wouldn’t submit to force or violence and stood up for justice. Many voices spoke up in support of Han Yunxi. Meanwhile, she was exchanging glances with Gu Qishao. Affected by his mood, she forgot about their terrible state of affairs and smiled back unconsciously.

Finally, Gu Yuntian couldn’t take it anymore. He knew that he should be more magnanimous after something like this. No matter how skilled this young woman might be, at most she’d be raised to an eighth rank Empyreal like him. She could never achieve the level of Sovereign Doctor just by her research results alone.

But he was so unresigned! Not only did she steal his thunder, she negated his findings utterly. Where was he supposed to put his pride? Gu Yuntian didn’t want to honor his promise to Han Yunxi, so he decided to change the topic and censure her instead.

“You must be in cahoots with Gu Qishao! No matter how skilled their medical arts all, remnants of the Poison Sect will only ruin Cloud Realm! This old man will never let that pass! Someone come, ah---”

“Gu Yuntian, we can forget it if your skills can’t compare with others, or if you can’t afford to lose! But now you’re going to use such methods to get rid of your dissidents?” Han Yunxi’s smile immediately froze on her face.

She couldn’t help Gu Qishao prove that he was related to Gu Yuntian, so Gu Qishao probably couldn’t offer his huge gift after all. All she could do was prop herself up and fight for the power to speak up, thus giving her a chance to defend the Poison Sect. She knew that it was probably futile to offer any explanations without solid proof, but this was her only way left. But before she could rip off her skin mask and reveal her identity, Gu Qishao suddenly spoke up. 

“Father, you’re still so stingy after all these years. Your years might be getting bigger, but your brain is growing smaller and smaller. Hehe, no wonder Head Elder Ling would chose to testify on my behalf. You never did honor your promise to him back then, did you?”

Gu Yuntian’s expression froze at his words. He couldn’t believe his ears. Gu Qishao strode over and quirked his lips into an easy grin. “Father, although your skills are nothing next to some female, you were right about one thing. Mixing blood can’t prove our blood relations. Fortunately, I have a witness. Otherwise, I’d be really hurt if you didn’t acknowledge me.”

Han Yunxi laughed as her heart finally settled in her chest. So Gu Qishao hasn’t shown his big gift yet! She guessed that he must have convinced Head Elder Ling to speak up on his behalf! From what she heard from Gu Qishao, the man used to be quite close to Academy Head Gu. At the same time she exhaled, she began to grow curious. What was the actual relationship between Gu Qishao and Gu Yuntian? What had happened to him at Medical City? 

How could Han Yunxi know how unbearable the truth would be?

All of the evidence from those days had been destroyed along with the witnesses. Head Elder Ling was the only man left! Gu Yuntian never thought Ling Guyi would betray him. He refused to believe it now. “Gu Qishao, stop spewing nonsense. You’re trying to smear this old man and exonerate the Poison Sect. What wild fantasies! Do you think everyone here’s an idiot? No one will believe you!”

“Father, why are you so agitated when Head Elder Ling isn’t even here yet? You might have a good body, but you shouldn’t get so excited. Suppose it makes you ill? Then your child will be guilty of a heinous crime, oh!” Gu Qishao’s chuckles made Gu Yuntian’s hairs stand on end. He never thought his own son could turn into such a horrific stranger!
