Chapter 640: 640 Sudden Change! Appearance! [2nd update]

Not only for herself, who suffered injustice three years ago, but also for the patients harmed by Su Ningxiang’s so-called "interests first" policy, and other Su Family disciples.

Su Xueqing asks herself whether she is an absolutely good person, but as a healer, she must never forget her original intention.

When medical skills are entirely tied to profit, it ceases to be the work of a Taiyi Medical Practitioner.

Shui Yunqing taught her medical skills, and from Shui Yunqing, she learned the true qualities of a Taiyi Medical Practitioner.

Inheriting the Taiyi Medical Skills?

Su Ningxiang is not worthy at all!

"Su Xueqing, you..." Su Ningxiang could hardly believe her eyes, "How could you... How did you..."

She couldn’t string together a complete sentence.

Aside from being struck speechless by shock, it was mostly because her throat was being pierced by three silver needles.

These three silver needles were the tools she had previously used to attack Su Xueqing, and now they had become lethal weapons threatening her life.

Cold sweat beaded on Su Ningxiang’s forehead, and her hands and feet trembled violently.

The reason she dared to propose a duel to the death with such resolute was because she was confident that Su Xueqing couldn’t possibly know martial arts.

But now, what on earth was happening?

"Su... Xueqing, who exactly..." Su Ningxiang’s voice trembled, finally squeezing out a question, "Who is teaching you? Who?!"

By now, even if she were foolish, she couldn’t believe Su Xueqing had acquired all her skills through her own enlightenment.

There must be a master guiding Su Xueqing!

"Want to know?" Su Xueqing smiled, but in the next second, her smile vanished, leaving only an icy chill, "Think about it after you go down there!"

"Ssshhh—"

The sound of a blade slicing through flesh was clear in the silent air.

"Ningxiang!"

"Su Xueqing, stop!"

"Su Xueqing, how dare you!"

Several voices, both shocked and angry, rang out as a gust of wind arose, indicating that someone had made a move.

However, when the duel to the death began, to prevent interference, the spectators’ stand was very far from the stage, making it impossible for anyone to reach within a single breath.

And Su Ningxiang never expected Su Xueqing to strike so decisively.

Finally, terror showed in her brows and eyes, yet there was not even a chance to dodge, not even a single sound could be made as the three gold and silver needles had already embedded into her vital life points.

"Thud!"

Su Ningxiang’s eyes widened, her body tilted backward, and she fell heavily to the ground.

No blood flowed, but Su Ningxiang had already passed away.

As a healer, Su Xueqing naturally knew where the vital spots were, her strike swift and merciless.

In a duel to the death, there are never winners or losers, only survivors and the deceased.

Su Ningxiang has fallen!

"..."

A blanket of silence fell over, as if even the sounds of wind and water stopped at this moment, reducing the world’s noises to zero.

Before today, no one would have thought that Su Ningxiang, one of the well-known heirs of the Five Great Families in Yunjing, would meet such an end.

Nor would anyone have expected that Su Xueqing, who had been cast out by the Su Family three years ago, now had the strength to completely overpower Su Ningxiang, even ending her life.

The upheaval happened in an instant, so quick that everyone was caught off guard.

The Su Family Great Elder stared at Su Ningxiang’s body, stunned, remaining seated, unable to stand or speak for a long time.

Clearly, she couldn’t accept that Su Ningxiang had just died like this.

The only calm and composed person present was Ye Wanlan.

Because today’s events were still within her plan, no chess pieces had moved outside her arranged game board.

"Ningxiang... Ningxiang!" Finally, it was the Third Elder of the Su Family who reacted first, wailing as she rushed forward, "How could you be so foolish? Losing is losing, you’re still young, it’s not the end of the world, there’s still a chance in the future, why propose a death match foolishly!"

However, no one responded to the Third Elder’s cry.

Because before the duel to the death started, everyone believed that Su Xueqing was certain to die.

But the outcome reversed completely, and no one, including Su Mufeng, ever imagined that Su Ningxiang would die.

In Su Mufeng’s expectations, the worst-case scenario was Su Ningxiang’s defeat, and he would be able to step in and save her in time.

Since Su Xueqing had no support in the Su Family, if he firmly backed Su Ningxiang, Su Xueqing couldn’t change anything.

But he didn’t expect Su Xueqing to act so swiftly, completely unlike a young girl who had never been exposed to killing.

Su Mufeng’s body swayed, taking a deep breath to finally recover his voice: "Miss Ye is truly remarkable."

"Young Master Mufeng is also quite remarkable." Ye Wanlan’s expression was unchanged, her smile faint, "I suppose you foresaw Xueqing’s victory, which is why you asked me that question before the match started?"

Su Mufeng fixated intently on Ye Wanlan’s eyes, trying to see something in those ocean-blue orbs.

But unfortunately, he still found nothing.

"Su Ningxiang has died just like that, and yet, as her brother, you aren’t so saddened as to weep?" Ye Wanlan spoke again, "It seems that familial bonds between siblings in esteemed families truly are thin."

"It was Ningxiang who proposed the death match, and the current result is her choice, so what do I have to cry over?" Su Mufeng’s voice turned cold, "But Su Xueqing killed my sister, she must give me an explanation!"

Even before Su Mufeng spoke, the Third Elder of the Su Family was already speaking resentfully: "Su Xueqing, you heartless and ruthless person, you can never become the Family Head of the Su Family, eldest sister, this family head challenge absolutely shouldn’t count!"

"Ningxiang..." The Sixth Elder Su spoke as well, "We watched Ningxiang grow up, she was like this... Sigh, we can’t accept it!"

Other Su Family disciples began whispering among themselves.

"Indeed, Su Xueqing went too far, not only did she steal Sister Ningxiang’s family head position, but she also took her life!"

"Su Xueqing has been away for three years, how do we know she hasn’t already sided with the Su Family’s rivals?"

"Her proposal of the family head challenge was inherently suspicious, otherwise, she could have supported Sister Ningxiang sincerely, there would be no turmoil in the Su Family then."

...

"Ah Lan..." Su Xueqing jumped down from the stage, her gaze focused, "Do you think I can leave the Su Family alive today?"

"Of course." Ye Wanlan’s voice was calm, "With Su Ningxiang dead, only you, Xueqing, can take on the great responsibility of family head, at least in the eyes of the Su Family Elders Council. But there are some..."

She raised her head slightly, her eyes narrowing faintly.

Still not coming out?

"Silence!" The Su Family Great Elder commanded, "Do you want our Su Family’s reputation completely tarnished?"

"..."

Everyone fell silent.

"What comes next is a matter for the Su Family to handle internally." The Su Family Great Elder’s face was stern, "Guests from the other families, please return home."

Upon hearing this, the members of the other four families exchanged glances and wisely left.

"Xueqing, don’t worry." Ye Wanlan gave her hand a reassuring squeeze, "Your life is not in danger."

Su Xueqing naturally had unconditional trust in Ye Wanlan, she smiled, "Ah Lan, stay in touch."

"All other Su Family disciples, return to your respective places." The Su Family Great Elder added, "The challenge is over, have you all seen the gap between you and peak strength? Now hurry back for training if you have."

"Crash—"

A large number of people departed again, leaving only Su Xueqing and the Elders Council, along with Su Ningxiang’s body.

"Su Xueqing, you are truly vicious!" The Third Elder of the Su Family glared with bloodshot eyes, "Let me make it clear, even if you win, as long as I live, you will not become the head of the Su Family!"

The Seventh Elder of the Su Family shook his head, "Third sister, your words are wrong, Xueqing won the family head challenge, so the position of family head is hers, moreover, Ningxiang is dead, there are no others."

"I disagree!" The Third Elder of the Su Family roared.

"Enough!"

At this moment, a cold voice descended, overshadowing all the arguments.

"I am not dead yet, I will still determine who sits in the position of family head!"
