"What?"
Suddenly, a furious bellow was heard from behind Master Xia and a man in gray robes appeared and rushed forward. He soon reached Xia Ying and quickly raised his hand to check his pulse. He frowned, but a layer of frost masked his elderly features.
"Master, Xia Ying has ingested a deadly poison. There is no cure. He only has an hour left to live."
Elder Huiyi turned towards Master Xia, who remained calm and collected, and explained the situation. Shortly after, he turned towards Gu Ruoyun and glared at her angrily, speaking coldly, "Gu Ruoyun. You've murdered one of the Xia Family in our home. What do you have to say for yourself?"
"You say that I'm a murderer?" Gu Ruoyun smiled calmly, "Do you have proof?"
"Impudence!"
