Chapter 583: 510 Ji Family Heir! Rocking the whole Imperial Capital University [2 more updates] Chapter 583: 510 Ji Family Heir! Rocking the whole Imperial Capital University [2 more updates] The returned Guard Squad.
Not only that, but it also alarmed the headmaster and several deputy headmasters who hold real power.
Each of them had a very stern expression.
And their gazes purposefully landed on Ji Yiyuan, sharp and brimming with coldness.
Without saying much, the headmaster simply pointed at Ji Yiyuan and gave a light command, “Arrest him.”
The leading guard stepped forward without any fuss and held Ji Yiyuan down immediately.
Ji Yiyuan only felt bursts of stars in front of his eyes, unable to stand steady, as the name “Ji Yihang” echoed in his ears—that sentence, “I pretended.”
Those three words shattered all his composure.
He thought he had grasped Ji Yihang’s weakness, yet was everything a sham?!
Ji Yiyuan was completely infuriated: “Ji Yihang! You are scheming, you’re shameless!”
“What a joke,” Madam Ji’s face was cold, “If you didn’t barge in with malicious intent, none of this would have happened. We were merely defending ourselves legitimately.”
Who told Ji Yiyuan to be so eager to take them all down in one fell swoop?
They showed a flaw, and Ji Yiyuan hastily made his move.
“Headmaster, the Main House has arrived,” one deputy headmaster glanced at the time, “What should we do?”
“A public trial.” The headmaster waved his hand, “Back to the Inner Court.”
Ji Yiyuan was thus taken away, with great pomp and circumstance.
“Dad, I’ll escort you back,” Ji Yihang finally relaxed, “You’ve had a hard time too.”
The elder shook his head and instead looked gently at the girl: “My dear, I must thank you for this. Your future is immeasurable, don’t get trapped by a single Ji Family.”
An amazing talent, the phoenix among people.
Ying Zijin’s eyes slightly moved: “I understand.”
Going back to the Ji Family was to retrieve what belonged to Wen Fengmian.
She turned around and said to Wen Fengmian, “Dad, we should also head to the Inner Court. Second Uncle, Second Aunt, please go back.”
On their way to the Inner Court, they encountered Ji Li who had rushed back from Imperial Capital University.
After learning about the developments, Ji Li also went with them.
The elders had arrived, surrounded by a circle of guards.
Taking the seat of honor was an elder, appearing to be in his fifties or sixties.
Ying Zijin narrowed her phoenix eyes and in a blink, judged the elder’s cultivation to be over fifty years.
This level of cultivation was on par with the Ji Family Elders.
She subdued the aura around her.
The headmaster bowed to the elder: “Third Elder, this is the criminal. We have caught evidence of his deliberate murder.”
The Ji Family allowed internal strife, but that was only in terms of experiments.
Harming someone on purpose was strictly forbidden.
The Third Elder’s gaze was piercing, carrying authority without anger: “Execute the punishment!”
Quickly, guards with various instruments of punishment approached.
A public trial, a public execution.
Throughout the Interrogation Court, only Ji Yiyuan’s agonizing screams could be heard, heart-wrenching to listen to.
After a round of torture instruments were used, Ji Yiyuan collapsed on the ground, barely able to speak.
Only when he saw the girl’s cold and indifferent phoenix eyes did his body shudder, and his mind briefly cleared.
“My lord, she! She knows ancient martial arts!” Ji Yiyuan grasped at this lifeline, pointing at Ying Zijin with a hoarse voice, “She also knows Ancient Medicine! She must be a spy sent by another family, my lord, you must arrest her too!”
All at once, within the Interrogation Court, all the ancient martial artists’ gazes converged on the girl, the pressure immense.
Even Wen Fengmian’s expression changed slightly.
The headmaster was taken aback: “Ancient martial arts and Ancient Medicine?”
Only Ying Zijin remained composed, very calm.
The Third Elder looked at the girl scrutinizingly for a while before slowly asking, “Have you studied ‘Ancient Martial Heart Sutra’?”
Ying Zijin shook her head: “I haven’t heard of it.”
“Have you learned the ‘Human Acupoint Map’?”
Ying Zijin raised her eyes: “If you mean the one from traditional Chinese medicine, I have indeed seen it.”
But Ancient Medicine is not the same as traditional Chinese medicine.
The Third Elder nodded and glanced towards an ancient martial artist beside him.
“Daring to deceive even the Main House,” the ancient martial artist stepped forward, raised his hand, and slapped Ji Yiyuan across the face, his voice cold, “Seeking death!”
With Inner Strength behind the slap, Ji Yiyuan was sent reeling, spitting blood, his face swelling up significantly.
Lying on the ground, breath as frail as a thread, blood continuously flowed from the corner of his mouth.
The Inner Strength invading his body, Ji Yiyuan felt his internal organs churning, the pain searing.
