Reborn as a doctor, he takes revenge and ruthlessly punishes the scum.

Yu Shuyan nodded:

"Indeed, Lord Cui, please help inform everyone, would you be so kind as to do so?"

Ouyang Feng unconsciously frowned:

"What laws? They're all just empty talk and can't change the fact that you're a Gu Master."

Cui Rongxing looked at him and said in a deep voice:

"The laws of the Great Yong Dynasty stipulate that those involved in witchcraft shall be executed by slow slicing and their nine generations of relatives shall be exterminated. At the same time, in order to prevent unscrupulous false accusations, it is also stipulated that those who falsely accuse others of witchcraft shall also be punished by having their tongues cut off once the accusation is proven."

Ouyang Feng was taken aback. Clearly, this was the first time he had ever heard of such a punishment.

There were many onlookers, all looking on in astonishment.

Tongue amputation, tsk tsk tsk, it sounds so painful and cruel.

Yu Shuyan, however, ignored everyone's reactions and looked at Ouyang Feng instead:

"Master Ouyang, even so, you still insist that I am a Gu Master?"

Ouyang Feng heard the sarcasm in her voice, and his heart filled with anger. Then he thought about how perfectly the plan had been arranged...

The slight unease in his heart vanished instantly, and he sneered:

“What wouldn’t this Taoist priest dare to do? Today, I will definitely tear off your hypocritical mask.”

As he spoke, he pointed at Bai Ziyu.

"As long as the Gu worms can be forced out of Young Master Bai's body, then you will have no way to deny that you are a Gu Master. After all, a coincidence might happen once, but it won't happen twice. What do you say?"

Yu Shuyan frowned, instantly recalling how Wen Lang had used the opportunity of toasting to poison Bai Ziyu at the banquet.

I was instantly certain of my earlier guess:

As expected, Wen Lang and Ouyang Feng's actions were not only aimed at killing Bai Ziyu, but also at eliminating Yuan Niangzi, who had ruined their plans.

It's alright; it redefines Ouyang Feng's image as a divine healer once again, and perhaps even elevates it to a higher level.

Killing three birds with one stone, what a brilliant plan!

Seeing her frown, Ouyang Feng became even more smug and chuckled:

"What, scared now? Regretting it? Too bad, it's too late~"

Before she could react, he turned around and swiftly inserted the silver needles into Bai Ziyu's soul gate.

Yu Shuyan frowned and stopped her:

"Don't~"

However, Ouyang Feng's needle had already pierced through.

Yu Shuyan naturally didn't say the rest of her words.

Seeing her anxiety, Ouyang Feng felt even more smug. He stared at her mockingly, but addressed the crowd:

"Everyone, once I insert this needle, the Gu worms inside Young Master Bai's body will be expelled immediately."

Then, he stared at Bai Ziyu with a determined look, waiting for him to spit out the Gu worm.

Everyone stared nervously at Bai Ziyu, waiting for his reaction.

Jin Wanliang, in particular, was so gripping his fan that he almost crushed the handle.

"Oh, what's that?"

Suddenly, a woman's exclamation rang out from the crowd, causing everyone to momentarily lose their focus. When they looked back at Bai Ziyu, they saw several insects crawling out from the front of his shirt.

Instantly, some of the timid onlookers were so frightened that they retreated outside the door.

The others who remained inside also took a few steps back, staring at Yu Shuyan with wariness and disgust.

Clearly, he was now completely convinced that she was a Gu Master.

Everyone wanted to stay as far away from her as possible.

After all, Gu worms are something that people fear and dread.

Unconsciously, Cui Rongxing looked at Yu Shuyan, his eyes filled with hesitation and conflict. He simply couldn't believe that Yuan Niangzi, who had given him such a good impression, was a Gu Master.

Finally, she took a deep breath, as if she could already see the bloody scene of being torn to pieces and mangled beyond recognition that she was about to face.

The curve of Wen Lang's lips unconsciously widened a few degrees:

This woman is doomed. Dealing with Yu Shuyan and the Yu family will be much easier for him now. Serves her right; who told this bitch to be so blind as to dare oppose them?

A glint of joy flashed in Jin Wanliang's eyes as he stared intently at Ouyang Feng and asked urgently:

"Now that the Gu worms have come out, Ziyu, are you alright?"

Ouyang Feng kept staring intently at Yu Shuyan.

He seemed unwilling to miss any expression on her face. Or rather, he wanted to see that look of fear and pleading—the look he loved most—on this woman who feigned indifference.

Every time he tortured those women, their terrified, pleading, and tearful appearance always gave him a deep sense of pleasure.

It was a pity that Yu Shuyan's veil covered most of her face. He really wanted to rush up, tear off her veil, and enjoy herself.

Upon seeing Ouyang Feng, whose gaze had been fixed on Yu Shuyan, Jin Wanliang's eyes flashed with disgust, yet he raised his voice and asked again:

"Master, now that the Gu worm has been expelled, is Ziyu alright?"

Ouyang Feng snapped out of his daze, glanced at Jin Wanliang with displeasure, and sighed:

"The treatment was not timely enough, and unfortunately, Young Master Bai has already passed away."

"Wow~"

The onlookers were instantly agitated and began whispering among themselves.

Bai Ziyu, he's the most outstanding figure in the literary world of the Great Yong Dynasty. Even a casual shift in his consciousness can cause...

The scholars and literati of the Dayong Dynasty vied to emulate and admire it.

If it weren't for his lack of interest in the imperial court, the position of a first-rank prime minister would surely be his.

He was still the dream lover of countless young ladies. If he wanted, even princesses and noblewomen would be willing to humble themselves and serve him.

However, such a person, such a graceful and otherworldly person, was told that he was already dead.

No one could accept that immediately.

Except for one person, that is Wen Lang.

At this moment, looking at Bai Ziyu lying there lifeless, a gleam of exhilaration flashed in his eyes:

Since Wenlang was born, why would there be a need for Bai Ziyu as well?

What is Bai Ziyu? He only got the empty title of "Pillar of the Literary World" because of his father.

Without his father, what is he?

He was gentle and kind, a man of extraordinary talent, and a role model for all scholars.

Only Wen Lang is qualified to be called a future pillar of the literary world.

It's good to die, it's good to die.

Bai Ziyu should be thankful that he died so comfortably. Otherwise, Wen Lang would have made him taste the agony of being infamous, losing everything, and falling from grace into the mire—a fate worse than death.

Jin Wanliang stood there, completely stunned.

Deep regret and self-reproach filled his eyes, and he unconsciously murmured:

"How could this be? How could this happen? Dead? How could he be dead?"

Ouyang Feng feigned a light sigh:

"The viciousness and malice of Gu poison cannot be easily cured. I was able to cure Old Madam Cui's Gu poison because of favorable timing and location. But Young Master Bai's Gu poison was discovered too late."

"Just now, if I could remove the curse immediately, there might still be a chance to save him. But Lady Yuan suddenly appeared, delaying the process. Alas, I can only say, what a pity!"

His reminder made everyone suddenly look at Yu Shuyan.

Almost everyone loathed her, as if they wanted to devour her whole.

Jin Wanliang, in particular, stared at Yu Shuyan with wide, hateful eyes, gritting his teeth:

"Yuan Niangzi, what a Yuan Niangzi. Ziyu still trusted me, and this is how you got him to trust you! I want you to pay with your life."

As he spoke, a small object slid out from his sleeve, which he held in his hand and pointed directly at Yu Shuyan.

"Ah~"

Upon recognizing the object, many people inside were instantly terrified and rushed outside.

"Run! Run! Those are Gale Needles, the Jin family's unique hidden weapon. Even a first-grade grandmaster can't escape them!"

Even after running out, he kept looking back inside.

Some women were so frightened that they covered their eyes.

It seemed they dared not watch the bloody scene that was about to unfold.
