Chapter 20: Bullshit
'Why? How did she also look the same?'
Su Qing felt like something was really wrong, there is no way that woman would come in this world, too.
If there was someone she hated the most in this world, then it would be this woman.
Because she was her Master's lover.
The very master whom she adored so much, but only got so much pain in return.
That woman knew of her feelings very well, so she always tortured her physically and mentally to make her know her place.
Her Master, of course, was unaware of this.
Or even if he knew it, he just overlooked the things that his lover did to his subordinates.
In his eyes, she has always been a subordinate, nothing more or less than that.
Su Qing bit her lip as she faced her, but she remained calm on the outside as she tried to put things away for now.
"You are well aware of why you are here today, right, reportee Su Qing?" the Patriarch's voice ringed in her ears as she replied respectively.
"I'm well aware of the reason, Patriarch. And I would like to prove my innocence on this."
"How are you going to prove that? The Jade seal is already gone, what are you going to prove more?" an elder said with a dissatisfied voice as he looked away from her.
"I'll prove it. Because the Jade seal, I didn't willingly give it to Rong Jin." Su Qing said as she looked up with firm eyes.
"I ask for the permission of the Patriarch to give me time so that I can explain everything slowly." She bowed to Su Bai as she asked the permission.
"Continue."
"It is indeed true that I went to meet Rong Jin that day. Because he was the one who asked me to go meet him with a letter."
"After I went there, he also asked me to hand over the jade seal to him. But even then, after he took the jade seal away from me, what he did is something indescribable." Su Qing's eyes teared up as she said that.
"What do you mean by doing something undescribable? Aren't you just spouting nonsense at this moment?" Su Linglong stood up in anger as she looked at Su Qing with disgust.
"Looks like no one is willing to believe me. However, I have some proof of the attack, I guess I have to show them for you to understand."
With that, Su Qing slowly took off her white veil from her face, which made everyone present there feel shivers run down their spine.
"Y-Your face! What is this, Qing'er?" even Su Bai's voice trembled as he saw the face that was as beautiful as a flower got disfigured to this extent.
"He disfigured me with a poisonous knife and broke my dantian, so that I could never practice martial arts in this life."
"How dare he do this to my granddaughter?" Su Bai was enraged to the point of no return, but Su Linglong still refused to admit it.
"What's the proof that it was His Lord who did this?"
"I know this question will come. This is the dagger he coated with poison before disfiguring me, he left it there because he thought I would die for sure." Su Qing took out the dagger, the dry blood of her was still there.
"Then why aren't you dead yet? Sure enough, you're just talking nonsense!" Su Linglong was now even more anxious as she yelled out loudly.
"Su Linglong! Did you just curse your cousin to die in front of me?" Patriarch Su was more angry to see her behavior.
"I didn't mean—"
"I know you didn't mean that, cousin." Su Qing cut off in the middle as she smiled at her.
"However, I got lucky to meet the Divine Doctor himself, who happened to pass by the forest in search of some herbs."
"What? You-You met the Divine Doctor himself?" Su Bai was extremely happy and delighted that Su Qing met with the divine doctor, whom people can see very rarely.
"He helped me to treat my dantian, but didn't have enough things to remove the scar as well, so he just gave me a written prescription to make the remover by myself and apply."
The words fell, and all the elders were devastated to see the prescription that she held out.
"No need to see, we already know." They refused to take a look at the piece of paper. Because if what she said was really true, then they would suffer the consequences for the distrust of the divine doctor.
"But, how did you come back till here? And what about the jade seal?" Patriarch Su wanted to get rid of all the suspicion on Su Qing, so he asked the obvious.
"I met another kind elder, he helped me to come to the city. And I came by myself along the rest of the road. I would like to repay the elder if I meet him someday."
'Yeah! That's how kind my Qing'er is! See, you old hags!' Patriarch Su felt proud of her remembrance and kindness as he glanced at the elders, who were feeling even more uneasy.
"As for the Jade seal…" Su Qing made a dramatic stop in the middle of her talking, which made the elders feel more impatient.
"The Jade seal is still with me, I didn't give it to Rong Jin."
"Bullshit!"
The moment her words fell, a man's voice came from behind as he entered the hall.
'Oh! So the piece of shit is finally here, huh?'
Su Qing turned back to see the mutt's face, it was just as annoying as what she saw in the original owner's memories.
"Long time no see, Qing'er." the guy gave a toothy smile at her as she looked away from him.
'Why do I feel like he has the same annoying personality as that shithead from before?'
