In the past two days, in addition to discussing the medical duel between Fairy Zhixi and Xiyue, many people in teahouses and taverns were also cursing and condemning Master Yuehua's shameless deception.
"I used to admire Master Yuehua so much, but I never thought he would be such a fraud!"
"Humph! No wonder he refused to come to our house to treat our illness last time. It turns out he is simply incapable of treating us!"
"I've said before that Master Yuehua is old. Even if he can still make pills, he will only be a fourth-rank doctor in ten years. But Fairy Zhixi is extremely beautiful. She is only in her early twenties, but she is already a sixth-rank doctor. Isn't it obvious who is stronger and who is weaker?"
"I just didn't expect that Master Yuehua would be so shameless. Not only did he deceive everyone, but he even protected that bastard Xiyue. No wonder his true face has been exposed now. This is his own fault."
Master Yuehua stood at the door of the tavern, the already dim light in his eyes turned into despair of sorrow that was greater than death.
He said nothing, but turned and stumbled away.
Along the way, there were people everywhere pointing fingers at him, and the looks of admiration and gratitude they once received had now turned into contempt and questioning.
It seemed as if he fell from the world into hell overnight.
Yong'an City, where he had lived for decades, a city he once considered more important than his own life, now seemed so strange to him, so strange that it frightened him and made him want to escape.
Master Yuehua returned to the City Lord's Mansion in a daze and was about to walk towards his own courtyard.
Suddenly, a man's smiling voice came from behind, "Master Yuehua."
Yuehua turned around and immediately saw Li Zhenyu smiling, with a look of coldness and contempt in his eyes.
Master Yuehua was slightly stunned. Before he could reply, he heard Li Zhenyu gently unfold the folding fan in his hand and fan it. Then he slowly said, "Master Yuehua, I wonder if you have ever heard that rumors are easy to spread, but it is extremely difficult to dispel them. People always believe that there is no smoke without fire. Master Yuehua, even if you have proved that you can make pills in front of the doctors, what does it matter? Will anyone in Yong'an City believe you now?"
"You!! You are the one who did all this!" Yue Hua was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Li Zhenyu and almost screamed, "Li Zhenyu, you despicable villain! It was you who told Doctor Jiang that I couldn't make pills, and it was you who spread the news to everyone in Yong'an City! What on earth do you want to do?!"
Li Zhenyu sneered, waving his fan in a carefree manner, but he looked at Master Yuehua with a cold gaze, as if he was looking at an ant. "So what if I did it? If you go out and say you didn't lie, do you think anyone will believe you? Even if you show your spiritual fire in front of everyone, everyone will just think you are using a trick. No one in Yong'an City will believe you anymore. From now on, you, Master Yuehua, will become a rat crossing the street, and everyone will shout at you!"
"What grudge do I have against you? Why do you want to harm me like this?!" Master Yuehua stared at him with red eyes.
Li Zhenyu's smile faded, and he said coldly: "You knew that Zhixi had already promised Zhuge Feng to cure Zhuge Xiaotian's illness, but you still brought Xiyue and her group of bitches in, let them beat up my cousin, and even let them humiliate Zhixi. This is your biggest sin, and you still ask me why I want to hurt you?" (To be continued)
