Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 315 Forget it, Patriarch Lü, we're scared~
A moment later, the hall of Jishetang, which was usually filled with the fragrance of medicine and a peaceful atmosphere, was now filled with a heavy and solemn atmosphere, as if a storm was about to break.

The tables and chairs that were originally for patients to rest were moved to one side, leaving the center of the hall empty.

Although Duanmu Bo and his wife were pale, their eyes burned with an almost tragic determination as they sat upright in the main seats.

Zhao Zhen sat to one side, his face calm and composed like a deep well, exuding an imposing aura without anger.

Behind him stood several employees of NaDuTong, their auras refined and clearly distinguishable.

What's even more suffocating are the two sides of the hall.

Zhang Zhiwei, the representative of the Celestial Master's Mansion, has been designated by the current Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing as the next Celestial Master successor.

At this moment, his brows were furrowed, and his gaze toward Lü Qin and Lü Yi was filled with undisguised disgust and contempt.

The dignified old monk of Shaolin Temple, with his prayer beads in hand and his eyes lowered, let out a soft sigh that was particularly clear in the silence.

The elder of Huode Sect had a tense face and bristling hair, as if he was about to unleash his anger at any moment.

Representatives from other sects either remained silent or exchanged worried and complex glances.

Their very existence represents the overwhelming public opinion in the world of supernatural beings at this moment, which is almost unanimously in favor of them.

Lu Qin and Lu Yi, the once arrogant and ruthless members of the Lu family, were now huddled in a corner of the hall, their cultivation crippled, making them even weaker than ordinary people.

Faced with the piercing gazes coming from all directions, the two trembled and turned pale.

Like a mangy dog ​​stripped naked and left in the snowy winter, their immense fear made them wish they could shrink into a crack in the ground.

"The head of the Lü family has arrived!"

Outside the door, accompanied by an announcement, Lu Ren, the head of the Lu family, led the rest of the Lu family slowly into the hall.

Feeling uncomfortable under the gazes of the many sect representatives present, Lü Ren still had to bite the bullet and cup his hands in greeting to Duanmu Bo.

"Mr. Duanmu, fellow Daoists, Lü Ren is very grateful for your hospitality."

"Forget it, Patriarch Lü, you'd better not be polite to us thieves. We're scared."

The elder of Huode Sect made a sarcastic remark.

Among the Thirty-Six Thieves was Feng Ping of the Huode Sect, which is why the Huode Sect was so emotional this time.

"My fellow Taoists..."

Duanmu Bo didn't give Lü Ren a friendly look, and didn't even glance at Lü Ren. Instead, he slowly stood up.

His voice was somewhat hoarse, yet exceptionally clear; every word seemed to be squeezed out with all his might, carrying the weight of blood and tears.

"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to come for Jishetang and for my husband and me, these frail and decaying bodies."

Duanmu Bo paused, looked around at everyone, and finally his gaze fell on the faces of those representing the major powers, filled with grief and pleading.

"Jishetang has been practicing medicine for a century. We do not seek fame or fortune, but only wish to cure diseases and save lives. We uphold our ancestral teachings and have no shame before Heaven or the heart of a doctor."

Over the years, I dare not say that I have bestowed blessings upon all, but I can say that I have lived up to the name of "saving the world"!
My husband and I have never made enemies in our lives, and we have only one daughter, Yingzi…”

When Duanmu Ying was mentioned, Duanmu Bo's voice suddenly choked up, and turbid tears welled up in his eyes.

Duanmu Ying's mother covered her mouth, her suppressed sobs echoing in the hall.

"Yingzi...she made a grave mistake by swearing brotherhood with the leader of Quanxing Sect, making her a sinner despised by the whole world!"

Duanmu Bo's voice suddenly rose, filled with a heart-wrenching despair.

"Her fate today is entirely her own fault! If her fellow practitioners in the world of supernatural beings want to arrest her, interrogate her, or even punish her, I... have nothing to say! It is because my Duanmu family has failed in raising our daughter!"

These words struck the hearts of everyone present like a hammer blow. They represented a father's agonizing struggle and eventual resignation to his daughter's unforgivable sin.

"but……"

Duanmu Bo suddenly raised his hand, pointing at Lü Qin and Lü Yi, who were lying in the corner like mud. His fingertips trembled violently with extreme anger, and his voice was like a thunderclap, completely igniting the suppressed volcano.

"The Lü family! The prestigious Lü family with a thousand-year-old lineage! Why would they turn their swords against us, an old couple who can only diagnose and prescribe medicine, and are utterly harmless?!"

The air in the entire hall seemed to freeze, with only Duanmu Bo's violently heaving breathing and his deafening question echoing through the room.

"Just two days ago! Right here in the backyard of Jishetang! Lü Ci of the Lü family personally led his men here under the cover of night!"

In front of my husband and me, they severely injured my daughter, Duanmu Ying, and kidnapped her like livestock!

Such actions are no different from those of bandits who plunder and seize property by force!

Duanmu Bo's words ignited everyone's memories.

Many of those present had received treatment at Jishetang, and imagining the scene of the highly respected and kind-hearted Duanmu couple being treated so roughly, anger silently grew within them.

"That's not enough! It's them! Lü Qin! Lü Yi!"

Duanmu Bo slammed his cane heavily on the ground with a thud, pointing it directly at the two sinners.

"After committing the crime and kidnapping, they actually... took advantage of our inability to resist and brazenly attacked us, attempting to kill us both to silence us! They even wanted to burn down the Jishitang clinic, which has been dedicated to healing the sick for over a hundred years!"

Wow!
Even though they had already heard the rumors, when the bloody truth was confirmed again by the victim in such a grief-stricken tone, the hall instantly erupted in chaos!

"Worse than a beast!"

"Lawless!"

"How is it different from the whole nature?"

……

Elder Huo Dezong was the first to lose his temper. His hair and beard stood on end, and he slammed his fist on the table, as if his whole body was steaming with fire.

Zhang Zhiwei closed his eyes and sighed deeply, "May you enjoy boundless longevity and happiness," his face ashen.

The old Shaolin monk stopped turning his prayer beads, his knuckles turning white.

The rest of the group were all filled with indignation, their gazes toward Lü Qin and Lü Yi filled with icy coldness.

The intense humiliation, the fear of being in the public eye, and the despair of the unknown punishment to come instantly shattered Lü Qin's already broken psychological defenses.

He could no longer bear the agonizing gaze and suddenly let out a distorted cry, as if grasping at the last straw.

"Master, save me! Don't blame me! It wasn't my choice!"
"It was...it was the elders of the family who instructed them! They said...they were afraid the Duanmu family would cause trouble...they said they'd go all the way! It was...it was they who ordered it!!"

"shut up!!"

A sharp shout came from Lü Ren's mouth. His face was ashen, and he wished he could rush forward and shut Lü Qin's mouth.

However, the word "shut up" seemed so powerless at this moment.

Lü Qin's mournful cry not only confirmed his heinous crime of murder to cover up his crime, but also, like a bolt from the blue, exposed the entire Lü family.

"Ordered?!"

Duanmu Bo's hair and beard stood on end, and an aura of grief and anger permeated his entire body.
