Chapter 4215: A Life for a Life

Aoye stepped forward a few paces, speaking in a deep voice to introduce the young man's identity.

It was clear the little Crown Princess didn't recognize him at all.

Qiao Mu sized him up, noting that despite his youth, his expression was severe, as if everyone owed him a fortune.

He was dignified in appearance but his face was rigid, suggesting a very rigid personality.

Qiao Mu made a fair assessment in her mind, then shifted her gaze elsewhere, landing on Ni Hanzhi, who was kneeling and weeping.

Oh, after only a few days apart, Ni Hanzhi looked much more haggard.

Her once lively large eyes were now sunken, her hands tightly clutching the hem of her clothes as she knelt beside Elder He Wen, tears continuously falling from her eyes.

Miss Ni's current tearful state, as a weeping beauty, was clearly much more appealing than her aggressive demeanor back in Jiawei City a few days ago.

Just by looking at how many people around showed her sympathy and pity, one could tell how endearing Miss Ni was at this moment.

Compared to the "malicious" little Crown Princess, Miss Ni was clearly much more pitiful.

Wei Su bowed to Mo Lian and Qiao Mu, then got straight to the point, "Wei is here today for the matter of Elder He Wen, our island's Grand Offering."

Mo Lian, seeing that the man was respectful and his attitude acceptable, spoke faintly, "Since our departure from Jiawei City, my wife and I have not met with Elder He Wen of your esteemed island again."

Ni Hanzhi suddenly raised her head, a hint of anger barely suppressed, "Of course, you didn't come to trouble us yourselves. Isn't it the same if people of your status send others to trouble us?"

"Those black-clad youths who came to kill me were dressed just like them." Ni Hanzhi said with hatred, pointing at Aoye and the others.

Aoye and his companions looked innocently at the Medicine King Island group, barely suppressing a laugh, "Miss Ni, aren't you being a bit too ridiculous? What does such attire prove? Your own Medicine King Island members, if they wanted to change clothes, could wear such black tight-fitting attire too."

Ni Hanzhi said coldly, "The Crown Princess says one thing and does another. If it wasn't her, who else would oppose us, master and disciple?"

"Who would persistently send people to hunt me down?"

"It's all because I offended her back in Jiawei City."

Ni Hanzhi said, her voice choked with tears, "She initially let me go out of respect for my master, Elder He Wen. Afterward, she must have thought about it more and more, felt unhappy, and then secretly sent people to pursue and ambush me."

"Master died protecting me! The killer must pay with their life."

"A life for a life!"

"A life for a life!"

The disciples of Medicine King Island roared with emotion, their young faces filled with indignant fury.

Qiao Mu turned to look at them, her indifferent gaze landing on Wei Su. After a moment, she said, "Do all of you from Medicine King Island have an issue with your intelligence?"

The little Crown Princess's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone present.

Everyone's expressions momentarily froze in surprise.

"You're saying I sent Purple Forest Guards to kill someone? Where's the evidence?" Qiao Mu looked at them with a cold expression, "Just based on Miss Ni Hanzhi's words, just like that?"

"So, does that mean I can also say that Elder He Wen was killed by Ni Hanzhi??"

Ni Hanzhi's face suddenly changed, her eyes red.
