Chapter 4220: A Small Token

"My Medicine King Island's rogue disciple shall naturally be handled by my Medicine King Island; others need not interfere!"

The Crown Prince couldn't help but retort with a cold sneer, "I see you're indecisive and incapable of handling it. I'm merely acting on your behalf!"

"Do it."

"Yes!" Several shadowy figures darted out, grabbing Ni Hanzhi's arms. In a flash, they dragged her out from behind Wei Su as if she were a small chicken.

Ni Hanzhi kicked her legs, attempting to resist, but the Purple Forest Guards immediately twisted her arms, breaking two bones, and tossed her before the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.

With a heavy "thud," Ni Hanzhi landed on the ground like a dead dog, desperately shaking her still-intact leg.

"What are you doing?! Senior Brother Wei Su, Senior Brother Wei Su, are you just going to watch these outsiders abuse your fellow disciple from Medicine King Island like this?"

Yan Xue's face was grim as she said, "Even if our Medicine King Island is down on its luck, we don't need others to dispose of a wretch."

Qiao Mu's indifferent gaze swept over the woman.

This green-clad woman had a long face and high cheekbones. From her appearance and tone of voice, it was clear she was an arrogant person.

And within Medicine King Island, she was likely a person of considerable status.

Wei Su looked at Ni Hanzhi, who was squirming on the ground, then suddenly cupped his hands towards Qiao Mu, "Crown Princess, Medicine King Island was reckless in this matter."

"Senior Brother Wei Su??" Ni Hanzhi was startled and cried out unwillingly, "You actually believe an outsider and not me?"

"Shut up, you wretch!" Yan Xue angrily chastised, "Do you think everyone else is a fool? Such a clear image, do you think everyone is blind?"

"You claim that the Crown Princess of Shenzhou fabricated this false image to frame you, but then why does it look so lifelike and real? Could she possibly simulate every detail, even the clothes you wore that day and the furnishings in the room, out of thin air??"

Upon hearing her words, everyone suddenly understood.

Indeed, it was true.

The room furnishings in the image earlier were clearly real objects. And the clothing they wore and various other details were also very realistic, clearly not concocted using talismans.

Recalling the four words "Time Reversal" that the Crown Princess mentioned earlier, although the people from Medicine King Island didn't know what it was, their hearts stirred. They secretly made a mental note to check ancient texts later to see if it was recorded.

Wei Su extended a jade box, presenting it with both hands to the little Crown Princess, "A small token of apology, not much, but a gesture of respect."

Qiao Mu looked at him, accepting it without a word.

She liked people who were straightforward in their dealings; acknowledging mistakes was a good quality.

She utterly detested those who, even after being exposed to the truth, still desperately struggled and continued to implicate others even on the verge of death, like Ni Hanzhi before her.

She didn't open the box in front of everyone to inspect it. She directly placed the jade box into her inner world and then glanced at Ni Hanzhi.

Wei Su then added, "Crown Princess, I have a humble request. Please use a Truth Talisman on her. I wish to know what Elder He Wen was arguing about with her before his death."

Qiao Mu had the same intention; earlier, Wei Su and others had prevented it, but now that the Medicine King Island's own people proposed using the Truth Talisman, that was excellent.

Ni Hanzhi, however, shrieked, trembling all over, and glared at Wei Su, screaming, "Senior Brother Wei Su, is this how you protect your junior sister?"

Wei Su's gaze grew cold as he looked at Ni Hanzhi, "You betrayed your master and brought this upon yourself. Now, I merely seek to know the truth."
