He was just an arrogant young boy. Could it be that his medical skills and talent were really better than his? No! Mei Shuhai would never admit it!
Just when the situation was at a stalemate, a panting voice suddenly came from not far away, "Doctor Mei, you...what are you doing? Why are you bringing people from the Punishment Hall to arrest Xi Yue? Did he do anything wrong?"
It was Wen Jiaquan, who was rushing over with sweat all over his forehead. Following behind Wen Jiaquan were Elder Yu and many other mentors.
The person running beside him was Mi Xuan. It turned out that when she saw Wang Hai and his men trying to arrest Xi Yue, Mi Xuan felt that something bad was going to happen, so she hurried to find Wen Jiaquan.
Because Wen Jiaquan was discussing something with Elder Yu and others, these people followed along.
Mei Shuhai looked at Wen Jiaquan angrily and said coldly, "I received a report that Meng Zisu from Class 3 of the Naval Medical School and her instructor Xi Yue have a relationship beyond that of a teacher and a student. Last night, someone even saw Meng Zisu spending the night in Xi Yue's courtyard."
As he said this, he looked at Elder Yu and said, "I have obtained Elder Yu's approval for this matter, and I have also received a notice issued by the Inner Sect. Otherwise, how do you think I would have been able to invite the Punishment Hall?"
Wen Jiaquan was stunned and quickly looked at Elder Yu, "Elder Yu, what's going on? Xi Yue has been working diligently since she started to be a tutor. You asked her to teach the most difficult class of water medicine, Class 3, and she has been doing a good job. Why did you let the Punishment Hall take him away? Do you really believe that Xi Yue would have any affair with her students?"
Elder Yu coughed lightly, glanced at Xi Yue and said, "I didn't believe those rumors at first, but last night, Elder Liang saw Meng Zisu enter Xi Yue's room in the middle of the night and never came out. A man and a woman alone, no one around at night, and both of them are young, staying in the same room for so long, Doctor Wen, do you believe that there is nothing wrong with these two people?"
Meng Zisu angrily cursed, "I didn't do that! I was just looking for Teacher Xi Yue. I only stayed in the teacher's room for a quarter of an hour. How could I have done anything dirty? Stop slandering me!"
Elder Yu looked at Elder Liang next to him.
Elder Liang snorted and said, "What's the matter? You need to consult with the instructor in the middle of the night. Don't you know that being alone with a man and a woman arouses suspicion? What's more, I saw that the light in Xiyue's room went out not long after you went in, and I didn't see you come out."
As soon as Elder Liang said this, the discussions around him became even more heated.
Everyone pointed at Meng Zisu and Xi Yue, their faces filled with shock and contempt.
If a teacher and a student have an affair, it is considered a crime like adultery in Siam. Not to mention in Tianyi Valley, even in other places, they will be despised by everyone and sentenced to death.
Xi Yue swept her icy gaze over Elder Liang and Elder Yu, but sneered in her heart.
The condition for entering the outer sect of Tianyi Valley to teach and taking over the third class of water medicine was twelve Soul-Condensing Fruits a year, six of which had to be paid immediately, but Xi Yue has not received them yet. Now it seems that some people want to shirk their responsibilities.
She said calmly, "Just based on Elder Liang's vague testimony and some rumors, and without any other witnesses or physical evidence, you want to send me to the Punishment Hall? Haha, so this is the justice of Tianyi Valley? Or does Elder Yu simply not want to keep his promise and pay me the six Condensation Fruits?"
Elder Yu's expression suddenly turned ugly upon hearing this, and Elder Liang also angrily asked, "What do you mean? Are you saying that I am slandering you?" (To be continued)
