Lou Shenming quickly retracted his gaze and looked back at Elder Liang. He smiled faintly and said, "I said the murderer was not Xi Yue, not only because the one who did it was a cultivator in the Kongming period, but also because I have recognized who the murderer is from the way the knife fell."
"You recognized the murderer just by looking at the wound and the body? You are worthy of being called Doctor Lou, right?"
Elder Liang was also shocked and asked, "Who is the murderer?"
Lou Shenming paused for a moment, then slowly uttered a name that shocked everyone, "Falling Rain Sword, Cheng Changhe."
"What?!!!"
"Isn't that Elder Yu's Shadow Envoy?"
"How is this possible? If the Shadow Envoy kills the Contractor, he will suffer severe backlash!"
Lou Shenming seemed to have anticipated everyone's shock, and said slowly: "Elder Yu did sign the Shadow Protection Contract, but the contract was not complete. Before Cheng Changhe killed Elder Yu, the Shadow Protection Contract had been unlocked. So Cheng Changhe left directly after killing Elder Yu, and did not suffer any backlash."
At this moment, not only the instructors and students present, but even Xi Yue showed expressions of surprise and admiration.
This Lou Shenming is indeed worthy of being called the Master of Medicine. Just by taking a look at the corpse, he was able to tell that Elder Yu's Shadow Contract was incomplete and that the contract had been broken before his death.
In the past, Xi Yue never took the medical skills of this other world seriously, but when facing Lou Shenming, her mind changed a little.
The truth was out, and Elder Liang no longer had any reason to accuse Xi Yue, so he could only frown and say angrily: "Send a message to the Punishment Hall to issue a wanted order. We must bring Cheng Changhe, the murderer, to justice. I want to see who ordered him to kill Elder Yu, and who can unlock the Yingyou contract."
Xi Yue smiled slightly, ignoring Elder Liang's sinister gaze, and followed Lou Shenming out of Elder Yu's courtyard.
As soon as she got outside, everyone from the third naval medical team came up to her and surrounded her, chattering non-stop.
A girl almost tripped when she rushed over, but Lou Shenming caught her and gently reminded her to be careful.
The girl's cheeks immediately turned red, and she stammered, "Thank you, Doctor Lou."
The people in the third naval medical class also had a better impression of Lou Shenming. In addition to admiration, they also felt a little closer to him.
However, when everyone heard Lou Shenming once again propose that Xi Yue teach in the inner sect, their mood quickly dropped to the bottom again.
"Xiyue, I think the other tutors in the outer sect don't seem to be very friendly to you, and this place also hinders the development of your talents." Lou Shenming looked at Xiyue with gentle expectation, "How about it? Would you consider accepting my proposal and come to the inner sect to serve as a tutor in the medical school?"
Xi Yue pondered for a moment and said, "I am very interested in the inner sect of Tianyi Valley, but... not now."
Lou Shenming was stunned. Is this... a rejection
But Xi Yue continued, "I like to finish what I start. I promised to be the instructor of the third class of the Water Medicine School this year, so at least this year, I will stay in the outer sect."
"Ah—Teacher Xiyue!"
"Teacher...you..."
Everyone in the third naval medical team was stunned. Many of those who had already given up hope suddenly looked up with expressions of surprise and joy on their faces.
Fang Yuechao and Wu Jinshui, the two people who most wanted to transform themselves from losers into strong men, had tears in their eyes.
No one knows better than them how unwelcome Xi Yue is in the outer sect and how difficult it is to make a living. (To be continued)
