Poison Genius Consort

did he suddenly decide to come back for revenge? Why not earlier or later, but now?

Gu Yuntian had once thought of overtaking Pill Fiend Valley in the past, but he still dreaded its power to risk an attack.
He always thought that Little Qi would lose his will to seek vengeance and proclaim the truth after gaining so much.
After all, once everything became common knowledge, Little Qi would be hard pressed to escape himself! His unique constitution would be feared by others and make him a public target. 

Little Qi was nothing more than an incomprehensible monster! That was why Gu Yuntian hadn’t use Medical City’s powers to pressure Pill Fiend Valley.
If Little Qi wanted to destroy him, he’d destroy himself first.
Father and son had always been on the same boat.
Gu Yuntian just couldn’t understand why Little Qi would be so willing to ruin him now?

“Because…” Gu Qishao dropped his voice to a whisper.

“Because, nobody’s allowed to bully my Poison lass!”

Right after that, he kicked Gu Yuntian aside and tilted up the edge of the chest with his foot.
Then he sent the box flying into the air, where it broke into pieces and scattered its piles of yellowed papers upon the crowd.
Like flowers blooming in riotous profusion, they fell from the skies.
Gu Qishao stared up at the sight, his gaze hazy and empty as they reflected the papers.
He fell into a trance, uncertain as to whether he was looking at documents or butterflies flitting through the air. 

“How beautiful!” he sighed with feeling before turning back just in time to meet Han Yunxi’s eyes.
Once again he smiled, light and faint.

Poison lass, if these really were butterflies in the air, how great that’d be.

If we have a chance in our next life, let’s meet by chance in the flower fields of the mountains amidst its dancing butterflies.
Maybe we’ll remember our past lives when night falls and we turn to go back home?

As the papers fell, one of them landed on Han Yunxi’s face.
She clutched at it while her heart shattered to pieces!

How could these be butterflies? These were nothing but blood-sucking bats, demons from the depths of Hell! They were nothing but Gu Yuntian’s personal notes and records that detailed all the medicine he ever used on Gu Qishao’s mother, the reactions from those pills, then accounts of all the medicine Little Qi ate after Head Elder Ling adopted him as his foster son and their reactions in his body.
There were also details on how Gu Yuntian used Little Qi as an experimental subject and fed him poisonous medicine laced with pestilence, then found the cure through various methods…

All of Gu Yuntian’s crimes against Little Qi since he was in his mother’s womb were completely recorded on the sheafs of papers.
Countless sheets fell from the skies, landing on each and every corner.
Everyone picked them up to read the contents.
Gu Yuntian’s personal handwriting and his note taking habits were all familiar to the upper echelons of the medical academy.
They could recognize his hand at a glance without a doubt! But the contents of the papers, as well as the results that Gu Yuntian had published over the past few years regarding his research on infant illnesses and pestilence cures, were exactly the same!

What was this, if not evidence? 

Head Elder Ling had no need to say any more.
The papers spoke for themselves! Whispers and comments began to punctuate the silence, growing louder and louder until the voices were filled with shock and fear. 

Department Head Ouyang was the first to stand up and rush onstage.
He threw the papers in his hands at Gu Yuntian’s face and roared, “Gu Yuntian, are you still human? Are you?!”

Soon enough, more people from the crowd started throwing things at the academy head. 

“Too horrific! The righteous and noble medical academy can even do things like this!”

“The medical academy has no such academy head!”

“Gu Yuntian, you’re worse than dogs and swine! You’re even less than a beast!”

“Gu Yuntian, the medical academy is ruined at your hands today! How could you have done such a thing?”

“This…how are we supposed to trust Medical City like this? They’re scarier than the Poison Sect!”

As the chaos grew, both members of Medical City and the outsiders began to censure Gu Yuntian.
Han Yunxi couldn’t care less about them now.
She looked at Gu Qishao, her thoughts full of words she wanted to say.
But she didn’t know where to start.
She finally understood why Pill Fiend Valley had such ruthless rules against saving those who needed treatment.
She finally knew why this man was always so angry when they brought up Medical City.

Little Qi, if this is your grand gift, I’d rather not have it.
I’d rather never take it at all!

Even if I’m the target of public criticism and become the enemy of the world, I don’t want you to show your savage scars to everyone else. 

Little Qi, why are you such an idiot!

Why are you….smiling like such a fool…

Gu Yuntian was like a mouse without a place to hide.
He cradled his head in his hands as he stooped onstage, looking extremely awkward.
Those notes were his precious treasures, so he couldn’t bear to destroy them even though they were damning evidence.
He had hidden it away perfectly well, but never expected Gu Qishao to find them! 

Head Elder Ling was hiding in a corner, but he still got hit with quite a few rocks.
Because of this proof, he had no choice but to cooperate with Gu Qishao.
And yet, as the commotion went on, someone suddenly cried out, “Gu Yuntian, why do you know the poison arts? Has the medical academy long been colluding with the Poison Sect?”

This voice belonged to none other than the imperial physician from Northern Li.
