Chapter 783 - 300: Xingguang Slaughters Again

After discussing matters of the academy, Xu Xingguang extended her evenly slender index finger, pointing to the location of the names of Ying Tu and the others, and said to Ying Ziyao: "Uncle Ying, we have to wipe off Grandpa’s name from this shame wall."

There’s no reason for those without a spotless identity to have their names carved on the shame wall.

Ying Ziyao felt a surge of warmth.

To remove the names of the master and the two uncles from the shame wall had been a notion Ying Ziyao entertained when he first entered the Divine Martial Realm, when he was still young.

But after being assigned to a barren medicine field as an apprentice for five years, having only learned the language and script of the Divine Martial Realm and no other progress, always remaining a mere stranger without even the qualification to step into the Winner Headquarters, he profoundly realized that some ideas are pipe dreams.

He had tried hard as well, but the Divine Martial Realm treated him like garbage, leaving him without any hope of climbing upwards.

"What should we do?" Ying Ziyao looked at Xu Xingguang, oddly feeling a reverence and trust that surpassed age hierarchy.

There was a sense that whatever Xu Xingguang decided to do, there was a high probability of success.

"Find an appropriate opportunity to spread the past incidents of the Ying Family Clan Leader cheating during exams and framing three scapegoats. When public opinion ferments, regardless of truth, the Family Head of the Ying Family will face doubt from the medical world."

"And what we have to do is, as disciples of Ying Tu and the others, secure a spot in the finals of the Hundred Medicines Conference and surpass the Ying Family’s group of prodigies, obtaining qualification to enter the Medicine King Tower. By then, when they learn our master was dismissed to the Mortal World by the Ying Family as a ’cheating offender,’ public opinion will naturally lean towards us."

"With the power of public opinion, we will then apply for the Hundred Medicines Conference supervisory party to reinvestigate the cheating incident from back then, and the truth will naturally be revealed."

Ying Ziyao listened carefully, thought about it seriously, and didn’t maintain an optimistic attitude.

"Xingguang." He said with a worried face, "Your plan is good, but I think we will struggle to make the Hundred Medicines Conference supervisory party agree to reinvestigate the cheating incident from back then. After all, snakes and rats are a pack."

"Perhaps at that time, the people overseeing the Hundred Medicines Conference already knew the insider story of cheating, but to maintain the reputation of the Ying Family Young Master, they also agreed to find scapegoats to take the blame."

Ying Ziyao was not very confident in this plan.

Xu Xingguang had anticipated Ying Ziyao’s concerns. "For the Hundred Medicines Conference supervisory party to agree to a thorough investigation and reveal the truth would be best. If they refuse..."

Xu Xingguang smiled playfully and said, "I have the Hell Palace membership list. Do you guess if some of the people from the Hundred Medicines Conference supervisory party might be on it?"

Ying Ziyao was stunned, followed by overwhelming joy. "You intend to use the Hell Palace membership list to coerce them into compliance?"

Xu Xingguang did not deny it, and her smile was intriguing. "Uncle Ying, treat gentlemen with courtesy. As for snakes and rats, just hit them directly with a stick. Holding such a good leverage and not using it, wouldn’t it be a pity?"

Ying Ziyao also smiled.

He gazed at Xu Xingguang’s face, which bore some resemblance to Mo Yinshu, and remarked, "If your mother had even half of your guile, it wouldn’t have been..." He suddenly fell silent.

Shaking his head, Ying Ziyao lamented with guilt and sorrow, "It was us who failed to protect her; it is my responsibility."

When Mo Yinshu was mentioned, Xu Xingguang quelled her smile. "Alright then, let’s go to the residence."

"Okay."

Ying Ziyao was currently staying at a low-end motel chain and thought Xu Xingguang might not be used to it, so he said: "The area I am staying in is filled with low-end hotels. Xingguang, do you think we should just settle for a night, or move to another district?"

"I didn’t know you’d come today. If I knew, I would have changed to another."

"I’m not picky." Xu Xingguang was not a fussy person, "Let’s just stay first. I’ll leave in two days."

"That’s fine too."

On the way, Ying Ziyao kept explaining to Xu Xingguang the geographical layout of Medicine King City.

Medicine King City is the largest capital city in the Central Yu Alliance, divided into 16 districts, spreading out like an umbrella in all directions with the Central Square at its center. From an aerial view, the whole of Medicine King City resembles the Eight Diagram City.

A river encircling the city breaks the fan-shaped cities into sixteen parts, turning them into 16 city districts.

Inside the moat, the eight districts close to the Central Square are called the inner city, which is the core of Medicine King City. Ancient medical noble families almost all reside in the inner city.
