Adorable treasured fox: Divine doctor mother overturning the heavens! Chapter 709 - A Good Play’s Opening (4)

Chapter 709 “A Good Play’s Opening (4)”
“I had you infuse your energy into Huan Yin’s body while I used my flames to clear her veins. With that are you happy?”
That’s right, that should be enough to prove my identity.
Once I enter the Huan Manor and become their esteemed guest, I will have this bitch regret it for the rest of her life!
Arching a cheeky smirk, Ho Cui Cui narrows her eye into a squint against the one she’s trying to impersonate.
“Mhmm,” the womanizer cheerfully nods at that, “your answer is very good, very good indeed. But now would you mind showing us your flame to prove it?”
Going stiff before her cheekiness could bear fruit, Ho Cui Cui’s proud demeanor instantly deflates.
This time it’s not only the imposter, even Mu Leng was starting to fret because they apparently forgot one crucial point – the imposter couldn’t control her Dan fire!
The womanizer didn’t push it, only standing there patiently waiting. However, it was Elder Muzhen who lashed out to make the situation worse. “What are you still standing there for? Hurry and summon out your flame!”
All embarrassed in her face, Ho Cui Cui began to mutter incoherent words like a lost child. In the end she could only turn to the one who set this whole thing up for help.
Mu Leng really wanted to smack the useless idiot. It’s bad enough their whole plan was unraveling before the public, it’s even worse when she’s implicated so why should she put her neck out for some pawn?
“Shifu!” Gnashing her teeth, the once high standing girl squeamishly whispered into her teacher’s ear. “She can’t use her Dan fire….”
Not able to use her Dan fire? Muzhen’s face changed greatly, finally understanding why their pawn would be so hesitant.
“How did you find someone like that?” The old beauty hushes at her disciple, annoyed by the incompetence.
Fortunately it’s quite loud in this area due to the massive crowd, leaving them free to speak at low volume.
Shamefully hanging her own head, Mu Leng fumbles those fingers nervously. The only fact keeping her from screaming out in frantic madness was the fact that her teacher’s an elder. Even if the chief wants to punish someone after the fact, it will not be her, or at least not a severe one.
“It seems you have no ability to control a flame,” the womanizer chuckles at the sight. “If you can’t control your flames then tell me, how are you supposed to cure Huan Yin’s condition? Well?”
The last bit finally shattered the last bit of defense in Ho Cui Cui’s sanity. Freaking out like a crazed madwoman: “It’s Mu Leng, it’s her! She sought me out and had me impersonate as Huan Yin’s savior! This is not my fault, please let me go….”
In this moment there were no sound to be heard, only utter silence.
For the few elders who helped Muzhen earlier, these poor fools were left in complete shock. Not only did they help the wrong person, they also directly offended the genuine lady in the story!
Jun Tian Yue was (wife) trembling all over from the rage brewing up inside. Pointing her finger straight at Mu Leng in an accusing manner: “You dare deceive me! In all the years I’ve been alive, I have never been played like so! Wu Wei (husband), you better punish these people severely, otherwise I will never return to the Misty Fairy House again!”
PAH!
Flashing a flicker of panic, Muzhen did what she knew best and slapped her own student across the face. Immediately, that dainty beautiful cheek of the young maiden had swollen up with five big fingerprints.
“What have I been teaching you? Why are you trying to fool the chief and madam? Do you know your fault?”
Getting to her knee: “Shifu, I know my wrong, please have mercy on me. I felt dreadful inside knowing how horrible Huan Yin and Xun Huan (womanizer) felt inside after the incident, that’s why I had Ho Cui Cui impersonate the real one. I really didn’t know Miss Bai Yan is still alive!”
In other words, her actions were an act of mercy rather than an act of deceit. It’s also a good way to limit any accusation before anyone could make it.
