Chapter 971: Rumors
In the past two days, in addition to discussing the medical skills competition between Fairy Zhixi and Xi Yue in the teahouse and restaurant, many people also cursed and condemned Master Yuehua’s shameless deception.
“I admired Master Yuehua so much, but I didn’t expect him to be such a deceitful person!”
“Hmph! No wonder Master Yuehua wasn’t willing to come to my house to treat. It turns out that he is unable to treat at all!”
“I have told you that Master Yuehua is old. Even if he can still pill refining, he is no more than a fourth rank doctor in the past 10 years, but Fairy Zhixi is extremely beautiful; she was a sixth rank doctor at the age of 20s. Isn’t it easy to judge who is strong and who is weak?”
“I just didn’t expect this Master Yuehua to be so shameless. Never mind that he deceives everyone, he even spoke up for the bastard Xi Yue. It’s no wonder that his true face has been exposed now. This is his own responsibility.”
Master Yuehua stood at the entrance of the restaurant, and the dim light in his eyes had already turned into despair.
He didn’t say anything, but he turned around and stumbled away.
Along the way, there were people pointing at him. The look of admiration and gratitude in the past had now turned into contempt and doubt.
It was like he had fallen into hell in just 1 night.
This Yongan City, where he had lived for decades and which he regarded as more important than his own life, was now so unfamiliar to him that it terrified him, making him want to escape.
Master Yuehua returned to the City Lord’s Mansion in despair.
As was about to walk to his courtyard, a man’s smiling voice came from behind him, “Master Yuehua.”
Yuehua turned her head and immediately saw Li Zhenyu’s half-smile and eyes full of cold and contemptuous expression.
Master Yuehua was stunned for a moment. Before he could reply, Li Zhenyu said slowly while waving his folding fan gently, “Master Yuehua, have you ever heard that Rumors are like a flame blown by the wind. People always believe in the truth that is easy to believe in. So what if Master Yuehua you can prove that you can refine pill in front of the other doctor? Will anyone in Yongan City believe in you?”
“You–! You did all these!!” Yuehua’s body trembled all over. He pointed at Li Zhenyu and yelled, “Li Zhenyu, you despicable villain! It’s you who told Dr. Jiang that I can’t refine pill; it’s also you who spread this news to the citizens of Yongan City! What do you want from me?!”
Li Zhenyu smiled, waving the fan casually, but he was looking at Master Yuehua with a cold gaze, “So what if I was the one who spread the rumors? Will anyone believe in you now? Even if you show your spiritual fire in front of everyone, they will only think that you are tricking them. No one will ever believe in you anymore in this Yongan City. From now on, you will become a rat that is hated by everyone!”
“What enmity do I have with you? Why do you want to frame me like this!!” Master Yuehua stared at Li Zhenyu with bloodshot eyes.
Li Zhenyu said coldly, “You know that Zhixi has promised Zhuge Feng to treat Zhuge Xiaotian’s illness, but you still brought in those bitches. They hurt my cousin, and they even humiliated Zhixi. This is your biggest sin! You ask why I want to harm you?
