Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess-Chapter 976 - Chapter 976 To Sue Ren Nanbei
Chapter 976 To Sue Ren Nanbei
“Mr. Ren, it is unnecessary to make things so awkward. I don’t think the Hall Master will break her words, although she is young.”
It sounded like Jin Rubing was speaking up for Lin Mengya, but he was implying that Lin Mengya was young and untrustworthy.
Ren Nanbei and Jin Rubing echoed each other in an attempt to make fun of Lin Mengya. They were good at playing with word traps.
If Lin Mengya got angry, their trick would work.
Therefore, they never left Lin Mengya out of the corner of their eyes. They just wanted to find a chance to make trouble.
However, what made them more and more surprised was that even so, Lin Mengya still remained calm, as if she was not affected at all by what they had just said.
They secretly communicated with each other with their eyes. They thought that either the Hall Master had good self-restraint or she would have other tricks up her sleeve.
All of a sudden, Ren Nanbei realized that he could not see through this woman. His intuition, which had been honed for many years, made him feel a little uneasy.
However, he managed to suppress it. He thought, “No matter how powerful she is, she is just a young girl. What great ability can she have?”
Ren Nanbei, who had always been arrogant, completely left his caution behind. He could not wait to see the young Hall Master make a fool of herself.
“Hall Master, everyone is here now.”
Baisu, who had been absent from the beginning, suddenly showed up. She stood respectfully behind Lin Mengya and informed in a low but clear voice.
“Great. So, let’s do it according to the rules.”
Apart from Baisu, all others were confused. Even Guo Mao didn’t know what Lin Mengya was up to.
Guo Tiantong was a bit anxious, and he secretly tugged on his father’s sleeve.
However, Guo Mao looked very calm. No matter how cunning Ren Nanbei and Jin Rubing were, he was sure that Lin Mengya would turn the tables.
“Yes, Master.”
Baisu lowered her head and left. It was not until then that everyone saw Baisu leaving from the backyard of the inn.
The inn was the property of Sanjue Hall, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter the backyard. But at this moment, many people were gathered in the backyard.
Soon after Baisu went out, a burst of noise was heard from outside.
In the end, for some unknown reason, they fell silent again.
“Hall Master, I am Meng Qingnian from the Branch Hall in Yun State. Please give me an opportunity to meet you.”
As soon as the voice sounded, Ren Nanbei and Jin Rubing felt a little nervous.
In the past few days, they had allowed their men to bully the people from Branch Hall in Yun State. Were they here to complain now?
However, Ren Nanbei and Jin Rubing were not anxious. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶
Sanjue Hall had distinct classes. If an ordinary disciple wanted to sue a Deputy Hall Master, the ordinary disciple had to go through the punishment of 30 lashes executed by the Enforcement Team.
If the common member could make it through, the Branch Hall Master and the Hall Master would have to conduct a strict investigation. If not, they would ignore it.
“Well, can you take the 30 lashes?”
Baisu’s voice sounded as cold as usual, without any emotion.
However, the man named Meng Qingnian was so agitated that even Lin Mengya and the rest, who were in the room, could hear him clearly.
“I, Meng Qingnian, will not change my mind. Enforcement Team, please enforce the rules to me now.”
To everyone’s surprise, Meng Qingnian was such a stubborn man.
Baisu turned around and went back into the room, and reported it to Lin Mengya honestly.
As long as Lin Mengya agreed, the flogging was to be enforced immediately.
Ren Nanbei and Jin Rubing exchanged looks and saw a trace of gloom in each other’s eyes.
“Hall Master, I’m afraid this is not appropriate.”
Before Lin Mengya could express her opinion, Ren Nanbei frowned and said.
“Huh? Then what would you suggest to deal with it appropriately, Mr. Ren?”
Lin Mengya sneered in her mind. She had been indulging Ren Nanbei and Jin Rubing with the purpose of pushing them to hell completely.
Unfortunately, the two guys, who forgot themselves, were unaware of this. They still thought that Lin Mengya was just a coward.
“In my opinion, it’s better to change the executor. Hall Master, to be honest, the disciples from the Branch Hall in Yun State had a quarrel with mine just now. I thought that it was nothing but just a simple thing among the young men. Unexpectedly, the girl from the Enforcement Team cut off the left foot of my disciple. I think, this girl had some connections with the Branch Hall in Yun State. That is why she was so partial. So it will be unfair to let her carry out the punishment this time.”
A cold look flashed across Lin Mengya’s bright and dark eyes.
She slowly stood up from her seat. For some reason, even though she was a slim and weak girl, her aura was like that of a sharp sword buried deep in the snow.
“That’s exactly what I’m thinking. Everything is good for this girl except for her violence. So how about you carrying out the punishment this time, Young Master Guo?”
From beginning to end, the father and son of the Guo family did not say a word.
Now that Lin Mengya had suddenly assigned the task to Guo Tiantong, they were a little stunned.
“Well… Yes, I will do as you say, Hall Master.”
Ren Nanbei and Jin Rubing did not accept it, of course. It was obvious that the Guo family was here to protect Lin Mengya. Wouldn’t it be the same as the Hall Master doing it herself?
They gritted their teeth and were about to reject. Just then, the cup of hot tea in Lin Mengya’s hand was suddenly swept to the ground.
“Baisu, what crime should one bear for disobeying the Hall Master’s order?”
Ren Nanbei and Jin Rubing were awakened by the sound of the teacup falling to the ground.
Just now, the Hall Master did not take their words personally. But now, there were probably a lot of people outside the room. They had violated the rules by openly provoking Lin Mengya.
At the very least, they had to pretend to do a thorough job, lest others would talk.
Furthermore, the whip used to enforce the punishment was not an ordinary whip used to tame horses. It was mixed with hooks made of refined iron inside. With a single lash, one would be half-dead, not to mention 30 lashes.
...
“Please quell your anger, Hall Master. I’m doing this for the sake of fairness. Since you assign Young Master Guo to carry out this task, I’m sure he won’t let you down. Young Master Guo, just remember that the one who plays a double game violates the hall’s rules badly, too,” Jin Rubing said in a cold voice.
Guo Tiantong had hated Jin Rubing for a long time. He went to the backyard after a cold snort.
“Everyone, follow me to the backyard and see how our Sanjue Hall teaches a person to well behave.”
The smile on Lin Mengya’s face gradually faded, and a hint of anger faintly appeared in her eyes.
Ren Nanbei and Jin Rubing felt that their hearts were beating like drums, and they had a bad premonition. As for the Deputy Hall Master, who had been following Ren Nanbei and Jin Rubing behind but could not even get a chance to say a word, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
He realized that something was wrong. This place had something weird from the moment they entered.
The Hall Master did not appear to be as cowardly and incompetent as they had guessed.
When he was about to say something, it drew his attention that two figures stood at the door without his notice.
One was tall and straight, but his eyes were filled with chilling killing intent.
And the other one was as strong as an iron tower. His bright eyes were wide open, and he had an extraordinarily murderous aura.
Experts could tell each other’s strengths with a single glance.
...
Ren Nanbei and the other two had been in the underworld for many years, so they could tell that the two men in front of them were not someone they could offend.
They were afraid that their escape route had been cut off by the two men.
“Everyone, please go with the Hall Master to check it out. It turns out that the Deputy Hall Master, Qinghu, is also here. You seem to have improved a lot in your cultivation.”
As of now, Guo Mao had a rough idea of what was going on, and the tension between his brows disappeared. He cupped his hands in a greeting to Qinghu.
“With the Hall Master here, all kinds of treasures are within our reach. It’s a pity that with my martial arts skills, I haven’t met my match yet.”
As their own forces grew stronger, Lin Mengya and Qinghu were no longer afraid of the Candle Dragon Cult’s revenge in the dark.
Being the top killer of Peach Blossom Dock back then, Qinghu had been well-known in the underworld.
Ren Nanbei and Jin Rubing only knew that the Deputy Hall Master had always been elusive and rarely showed up in Sanjue Hall for no reason.
They didn’t expect that they would meet Qinghu right here right now.
They got nervous because they knew that Qinghu, the top killer of Peach Blossom Dock back then, could kill anyone in the world.
They did not realize how much they had underestimated LinMengya until this moment.
“It makes sense. You’ve been serving the Hall Master all year round, so there is no place for you to use your martial arts skills.”
Guo Mao exchanged a few more pleasantries with Qinghu. However, he knew very well how many secrets were hidden under Lin Mengya’s seemingly weak body.
He was afraid that Qinghu, the top killer, would be no match for Lin Mengya.
Martial arts could kill people in tangible form, but Lin Mengya could do it invisibly.
The three stupid guys were probably going to be extremely unlucky.
Lin Mengya took the lead and walked into the yard. She felt those surprised or confused eyes fixed on her.
But she didn’t care about it at all. She just walked up to Baisu. In front of Baisu, a young man, who seemed to be only 17 or 18 years old, had bared his top and knelt in the yard.
He clenched his fists and lowered his head, but his muscles were extremely tightened.
Lin Mengya just took a glance at him and then asked.
“Do you insist on suing Ren Nanbei, the Deputy Hall Master of the Branch Hall in Qing Prefecture?”
The young man seemed to be surprised that Lin Mengya’s cold voice was cold but still gentle.
The young man immediately looked up, but after glancing at LinMengya, he lowered his head again.
Their Branch Hall Master once said that the only person in the world who deserves to be respected is the Hall Master, who was like a savior to this world.
However, he had to bear some things.
The young man kowtowed hard to the ground and said determinedly.
“Hall Master, I will not change my mind even if I have to die!”
Among the surrounding people, those who belonged to the Branch Hall in Qing Prefecture, were all disdainful, and those who were his companions of the Branch Hall in Yun State, their eyes turned red. However, they just fixed their eyes on the young man and did not stand out to stop the punishment.
Lin Mengya looked at the surrounding people and took all their reactions into her eyes.
“Alright, since you insist on it, I will approve!”
Lin Mengya’s words sounded loud and clear. The young man kneeling on the ground kowtowed heavily again, but his voice was hoarse as if it were stained with a faint smell of blood.
“Thank you for fulfilling my wish, Hall Master. Please give me the 30 lashes!”
