At this moment, Jin Peng leaned to Elder Lan's ear and whispered, "Master, don't be too nervous. The person is already dead anyway. Just blame Miss Jiang's death on him. He's just a small fry, and once the rumors spread, he won't be able to defend himself."
"Jin Peng, I didn't love you in vain. At the critical moment, you're the one who can help me."
Elder Lan looked relieved. He had abandoned all sense of justice. Sacrificing that young man's future to protect his own reputation as a divine doctor was more than worth it.
"Patriarch Jiang, you must see clearly! My master could have continued the acupuncture and saved Miss Jiang, but this boy deliberately caused trouble, which led to her death. This has nothing to do with my master. If you want to hold someone accountable, then hold him accountable!"
Jin Peng signaled to his two fellow apprentices, who then loudly proclaimed all the blame on Yang Cheng.
