Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

Chapter 528 - 509: Heart Like Ashes

The air suddenly became quiet.

Fang Ruoxue’s eyes were red as she abruptly looked at Sun Zhe standing next to Zhou Yao, her gaze filled with extreme hatred.

From Zhou Yao’s reaction just now, it was obvious that he didn’t believe her, so in her mind, Sun Zhe must have had solid evidence and had handed it over to Zhou Yao, forcing him to believe it.

"Sun Zhe, you despicable man..."

Fang Ruoxue’s eyes were filled with tears, and her teeth were almost grinding to pieces.

Sun Zhe shrugged indifferently and said, "I might be a despicable person, but do you think you, Fang Ruoxue, have the right to say that about me?"

"It was you who came to mess with me for the ’Zhou You Tai Xu,’ and I was just retaliating in kind."

"You can’t expect others to hold to a gentleman’s standards while being a scoundrel yourself, can you, my dear Aunt Fang?"

"That night in the basement of Siyun Teahouse, the things you and that old lady did to me, the things you talked about, do you really not have any idea in your heart?"

Fang Ruoxue coldly replied, "What nonsense are you spouting? Which Siyun Teahouse, what basement... I can’t understand a word of what you’re saying!"

"Fine! Fine, fine, fine..."

Seeing her still stubbornly denying, Sun Zhe couldn’t help but laugh.

"Then let me recreate the scene from that night for you."

With that, he flipped his wrist, and a gleam of light flashed in his hand as a tablet appeared as if by magic.

Moments later.

As the video Sun Zhe had downloaded and saved began to play, Fang Ruoxue gradually fell silent, her body swaying as she retreated, her heart filled with despair.

She racked her brains but couldn’t figure out how on earth Sun Zhe had managed to record the video of her and the Great Elder in the basement that night.

"Ah Yao... I’m sorry, I was wrong."

Faced with irrefutable evidence, she knew she could no longer deny it, and she knelt powerlessly on the ground, not daring to look at Zhou Yao, tears streaming from her eyes.

The video on the tablet continued to play.

The conversations she had with Grand Elder Li Zhenzhu that night, every word, every sentence, floated clearly in the air.

Zhou Yao suddenly walked over and stood above her, looking down at her, he asked, "Do you have anything else you want to say now?"

"I... I’m sorry Ah Yao, I really know I was wrong."

Fang Ruoxue burst into tears, reaching out to hug Zhou Yao’s leg, begging bitterly, "I shouldn’t have lied to you, I know I was wrong... can you forgive me this time?"

Zhou Yao’s face twitched, suppressing his emotions with effort, he said in a deep voice, "It’s not that you know you were wrong, it’s that you know you’re finished!"

"Fang Ruoxue, in the massacre of the Zhou family back then, the night my family was wiped out, you participated too, didn’t you?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ruoxue’s body trembled, crying, "No, Ah Yao, I... I was only responsible for standby outside that night, I never killed any of the Zhou family, nor did I ever lay hands on anyone!"

"So, does that mean you’re admitting it?"

Fang Ruoxue was suddenly stunned.

Zhou Yao held back his tears, slowly raising his face, his voice hoarse, "Do you think it makes any difference?"

"Thinking back now... before the Zhou family massacre happened, you deliberately got close to me, even fell in love with me, it was actually to find out the in and out routes of my family’s base and the surrounding defensive array, wasn’t it?"

"Otherwise, those killers wouldn’t have been able to break in so easily."

As he spoke, one of his hands had already raised, and a visible Sword Qi condensed at his fingertip, as cold as a real sword!

Seeing this, Fang Ruoxue’s beautiful eyes trembled with disbelief, and her delicate body shivered.

She wasn’t afraid of death, she just hadn’t thought, or couldn’t accept, that the man she loved would so resolutely take her life.

After all these years of emotion, did he not care at all?

"Ah Yao... I admit, I approached you, fell in love with you, was with you, all to obtain the Zhou You Tai Xu, but I truly love you too."

Zhou Yao, with tears in his eyes, slowly said, "Your so-called love, more often than not, is to make up for what you owe me, isn’t it?"

"Ruoxue, once I’ve avenged my family, I’ll come to find you... and then we’ll bring all those innocent Zhou ghosts to justice!"

Who would have thought that as he was about to make a move against Fang Ruoxue, an elderly voice suddenly echoed from the void, "Just a homeless dog, daring to harm our Qingyao Sect disciple?!"

Upon hearing the voice, Zhou Yao’s eyes darkened, and the formed Sword Qi in his hand suddenly blossomed, transforming into a Sword Light and he chopped it towards the main entrance, as if he had expected it.

"Old thing, you finally show up, I’ve been waiting for you!"

"Heh, it’s just a petty trick."

Li Zhenzhu’s contemptuous voice echoed from the void, as she casually sent out a palm strike, instantly dispelling the Sword Qi.

Seeing Zhou Yao, his whole body shuddering, his face turning pale, stumbling back several steps before barely standing, seemingly from the backlash.

Meanwhile.

An elderly figure slowly walked in through the main entrance.

Sun Zhe looked up to see that the newcomer was indeed the old woman from that night—the Great Elder of Qingyao Sect, Li Zhenzhu!

He knew Zhou Yao’s current physical condition, unable to face even someone at the Golden Core Stage, so he stepped forward and shielded Zhou Yao behind him.

Zhou Yao’s face was full of worry, he softly said, "Ah Zhe, be careful, this old woman is insidious and ruthless, do not fall into her trap."

"Don’t worry, Uncle Zhou, I’m confident."

At this moment, rapid footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the door.

Fang Xing led a group of Qingyao Sect disciples quickly, rushing into the hall in just a moment, surrounding Sun Zhe and Zhou Yao.

"Kid, today is the day you meet your end!"

Fang Xing, upon seeing Sun Zhe, hated him so much that his teeth itched, he wanted to tear Sun Zhe to pieces.

But Sun Zhe remained calm and composed, giving Zhou Yao a sidelong glance, he asked, "Uncle Zhou, why don’t you hide around the back first?"

Zhou Yao laughed, feeling it was completely unnecessary, suddenly shouting, "Sister-in-law, haven’t you watched enough of the play?"

"Ah ah——"

As his voice fell, two screams suddenly came from outside the door.

Everyone turned to look and saw two disciples of Qingyao Sect lying in a pool of blood, eyes wide open, filled with extreme unwillingness, as if they didn’t know what had happened before they died.

Soon after, there were continuous screams in the crowd.

The two dark shadows seemed like ghosts, so fast that only a blurry shadow could barely be seen, flickering in the crowd, leaving Qingyao Sect disciples collapsing in succession wherever they passed.

Seeing this, Li Zhenzhu shouted loudly, realizing that she had fallen into a trap tonight, she flashed towards Zhou Yao, raising her hand as if to catch the thief first!

"Uncle Zhou!"

Sun Zhe was startled, immediately flashing to block Zhou Yao’s front, seeing Li Zhenzhu strike, electricity burst from his body, he raised his hand and threw a punch!

The fist met the palm, a thunderous boom!

Sun Zhe was thrown back, crashing heavily into the wall.

"Kid, blame yourself for not seeing it coming!"

Li Zhenzhu with a frosty face, about to strike Sun Zhe, unexpectedly in the next moment, the two flickering shadows in the crowd suddenly darted towards Li Zhenzhu, simultaneously striking, sending her flying.

"Young Master!"

"Young Master, are you alright?"

One of the shadows revealed itself, quickly lifting Sun Zhe off the ground.
