Suddenly, a furious belloas heard froray robes appeared and rushed forward He soon reached Xia Ying and quickly raised his hand to check his pulse He frowned, but a layer of frost ested a deadly poison There is no cure He only has an hour left to live"

Elder Huiyi turned towards Master Xia, who remained calm and collected, and explained the situation Shortly after, he turned towards Gu Ruoyun and glared at her angrily, speaking coldly, "Gu Ruoyun You've murdered one of the Xia Family in our home What do you have to say for yourself?"

The crowd burst into a discussion, pushing the blame of their intentions to cause trouble onto Gu Ruoyun's shoulders

"If that was the case, when Xia Ying had raised his hand to strike ht back, ould happen then?" Gu Ruoyun smiled calmly She showed no sorrow over her current situation Her eyes were clear like water as if they could see through one's soul

Master Xia's expression turned grave, his dignified gaze now fell upon the kneeling Xia Yu and he asked sternly, "Is the Gu girl speaking the truth? Was Xia Ying the first to strike?"

"Master!"

Elder Huiyi's expression changed as he furiously retorted, "How can you bend the law in order to favor an associate? I understand that you're worried over the Young Master's illness and that you would offend the Ghost Doctor if you executed Gu Ruoyun, but showing such blatant favoritism How many of the Xia Family brothers would feel bitterly disappointed? Furthermore, everyone else would think that they can kill our Xia Family brothers whenever they pleased! In such a situation, how can we ive justice to the Xia Ying siblings, in the name of the Xia Family!"
