Shui Qinan swept his eyes across them in disdain, causing Sixth Elder and Hua Jiao to shrink back in fear. Shui Qinan did not pay attention to them, and instead spoke indifferently to the Fourth Elder who was on the ground: ”Now do you know what the Sixth Elder is like?”

The Sixth Elder's gaze focused on the Fourth Elder. Under the former's incredulous gaze, the Fourth Elder also stood up from the ground.

Being betrayed by his companions for so many years, no one had a very good state of mind. The Fourth Elder could not understand, since he and the Sixth Elder had been in the same sect for so long, he believed that there was nothing that could let him down.

Why did he have to kill him so cruelly and feed him to the wolves after death? He thought that after living for so long, he still wasn't as transparent as Shui Qinan thought. If not for Shui Qinan setting this trap up, the Fourth Elder would never have known about the Sixth Elder's wolfish ambitions, even to her death.

”Sixth Elder, we have been in the same sect for such a long time, yet you actually ignored the feelings of being in the same sect and killed us all.” I will definitely not let you off this time. ” The Fourth Elder was no longer soft-hearted. If others were to feed him to the wolves, why would he still pretend to be a saint?

The Sixth Elder stood blankly on the spot, unable to figure out which segment had gone wrong. Shui Qinan looked at the Fourth Elder, and in her heart, she finally saw the Sixth Elder's hypocritical face. She had already warned the Fourth Elder that the Sixth Elder wasn't a good person.

However, the Fourth Elder didn't believe him. The truth was right in front of him, and he hoped that he could see that person's true face.

Hua Jiao suddenly raised his head and stared at Shui Qinan sinisterly, ”I poisoned the food and watched you all eat. How could you all still be alive? ”

Shui Qinan sneered, ”I already knew that the food was poisonous, so I didn't eat it. ”The reason why we pretended to be poisoned was to let the Fourth Elder see your faces.”

So that was how it was, Hua Jiao sighed in his heart. He originally thought that he had done it flawlessly. Unexpectedly, others had already seen through everything. He was showing off like a clown.

The Fourth Elder sighed regretfully, turned around, and did not plan to speak further with them. ”Bring the two of them back to the Holy Medicinal Pavilion, and hand them over to the Pavilion Master for punishment.”

When the Sixth Elder heard the Pavilion Master's name, his heart trembled. Hua Jiao was so scared that he kneeled on the ground. If he were to be brought back, he would definitely be removed from the Holy Medicinal Pavilion, and all that he had done would be for naught.

Hua Jiao crawled over to the Fourth Elder's side, his eyes filled with a begging expression. He held onto the Fourth Elder's robe tightly, tears and snot flowing down his face, ”Fourth Elder, all of this is none of my business. The Sixth Elder had threatened me to force me to do it. Actually, I didn't want to harm you guys because she had been coercing me. If I didn't poison you, the Sixth Elder would have to kill me. ” Hua Jiao tried his best to defend himself, trying to push this matter towards the Sixth Elder.

After all, the Sixth Elder held an important position in the Holy Medicinal Pavilion, whereas he himself was just an ordinary medicine boy. If Holy Medicinal Pavilion really pushed all the responsibility onto him, it would not just be a simple matter of getting removed from the list. When the Sixth Elder heard Hua Jiao's words, a burst of anger struck him and he almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

He steadied himself, and with a trembling right hand, he pointed at Hua Jiao, his old face blushing red as he said angrily: ”You're lying, you were clearly the one who instigated me with those flowery words of yours. Now that the matter has been exposed, you have pushed it all onto me. Why didn't I see your wolf ambition before? ”

Shui Qinan coldly looked at the two of them being rebellious and revealing the truth, and these two people pushed him away so cleanly. The Fourth Elder lowered his head and looked at Hua Jiao who had grabbed onto his robe with disdain.
