Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 325

Shen Lingjun listened with gritted teeth, unable to believe it.

"Just because of this?... My master didn't owe her anything. Whether or not to save him was his right. What right did she have to kill my master?"

Mo Zhonggui said, "She killed too many people. If she could be reasonable, so many women wouldn't have died tragically at her hands."

A strong sense of hatred surged in Shen Lingjun's heart.

She had initially thought that her master's death was due to some deep-seated hatred or grudge in the martial arts world, but she never expected it to be for this reason!

No wonder her master repeatedly instructed her to keep her medical skills hidden and not let anyone discover them before he passed away.

The master had no relatives; his entire family consisted of himself and his three disciples.

Her senior brothers and sisters have long since gone to travel the world, leaving only Shen Lingjun in Beiyi. If the Grand Princess of Pingkang were to discover her existence, she would surely kill her as well.

Princess Pingkang thought that the lives of everyone in the world were just a lump of clay in her hands, which she could crush however she wanted.

Shen Lingjun gritted her teeth and asked, "How did she kill my master? Did she hire an assassin?"

Besides his exceptional medical skills, the Old Man of Apricot Blossoms was also a formidable martial artist. Over the years, through treating patients and receiving rewards, he had accumulated a wealth of valuable items, such as hidden weapons from the Tang Clan. Even his residence, Apricot Blossom Valley, was equipped with layers of traps and mechanisms.

With his medical skills, if he didn't have some means of self-defense, he would have been robbed to pieces long ago.

Mo Chonggui said, "The late emperor left her a group of top imperial guards who only obeyed her orders and would do anything for her. That's why she and Princess Huizhu were able to kill so many people silently and without being exposed to this day."

He continued, "However, with the Eastern Depot's strength, dealing with these imperial guards wouldn't be difficult. If you..."

Shen Lingjun said in a deep voice, "Chief Supervisor Mo, it's not that I don't want your help, but this is my master's revenge, and I must avenge it myself. My master gave me a healthy body and passed on his medical skills to me. He has been incredibly kind to me. If I can't even do this little thing for him personally, what face do I have to be his disciple?"

Mo Zhonggui seemed to understand her thoughts this time, and simply nodded without saying anything.

At this moment, Ye Huaichi, who had just been sent to capture the young man, arrived.

Ye Huaichi looked over nervously and reported with a hint of fear, "My lord, I've lost track of him... The man just left the street, and when I chased after him, he had already vanished. I sent men to search the entire vicinity, but we haven't found a single clue."

Mo Zhonggui looked surprised.

Ye Huaichi was a top-tier martial arts expert in the Eastern Depot, second only to him in skill, and having followed him for so many years, he knew Ye Huaichi's abilities well. How could that man have vanished without a trace, escaping Ye Huaichi's pursuit?

He's definitely not a simple character.

Mo Zhonggui instructed, "Keep searching. That person is likely in disguise. You can spread some false information about Elder Xingju's young disciple to see if you can lure him out."

Shen Lingjun had absolutely no clue who this person was.

She sensed that the other person didn't seem friendly. Could it be that they had some kind of grudge in the past? But she really didn't remember him.

However, that's not her biggest concern right now. All she can think about is how to avenge her master.
