"The Alchemy Hall has never provided the School Clinic with the medicinal herbs Cuscuta and Motherwort."

As soon as Jiang Qing finished speaking, Mo Wu and the others’ expressions changed.

"Jiang Qing, you’re lying. Just a few days ago, your staff clearly leaked that you sold herbs to Xin Lin, and even agreed to a transaction at Qingfeng Slope. Obviously, you colluded with Xin Lin to frame us, swapping a whole boat of medicinal herbs for opium."

"Jiang Qing, do you have anything to explain?"

Long Qingxuan frowned.

Jiang Qing is a businessman, and Hei Yao Castle is a large enterprise; he has no reason to shield Xin Lin.

However, he had heard that Jiang Qing and Xin Lin are quite close in private.

In fact, Xin Lin is very cute. Even Long Qingxuan, upon meeting her, liked her a lot, so Jiang Qing would likely be no exception.

Of course, Long Qingxuan did not believe that someone like Jiang Qing would shield and indulge out of mere affection.

"Crown Prince, this matter can be attributed to my poor supervision. A month ago, during my absence due to private errands, my deputy hall master secretly conspired with Tu Suxia to sell opium. After returning, I discovered this issue and thoroughly investigated to find out everything. My deputy hall master had some grudges with Xin Lin, which might be why he falsely accused Xin Lin in private."

Jiang Qing said with a bitter smile.

"Where is that deputy hall master now?"

Long Qingxuan asked again.

"He knew the matter was exposed and already took his own life. I’ve brought the body along. As for the few from Star Academy, they were likely misled. I am unsure if they were involved, and would request the Crown Prince to investigate clearly."

Jiang Qing explained.

Long Qingxuan’s eyes flickered, and Mo Wu and others felt a surge of frustration.

With no witnesses, what more could they say?

"The truth is out; Tu Suxia, for personal gain, privately trafficked forbidden substances in Longteng— I will inform my father and have him negotiate with Fuzhou."

A conclusion had already formed in Long Qingxuan’s mind.

Although Mo Wu and others were still full of disbelief, with Jiang Qing testifying and medicinal herbs as evidence, they had nothing to counter with.

"Xin Lin, don’t be complacent. We’ll see each other’s real skills at the Little Eagle Chick Conference."

After this incident, Mo Wu and others bore a grudge against Xin Lin.

Before leaving the School Clinic, they didn’t forget to cast a resentful glare at Xin Lin.

Xin Lin wore an innocent expression, but inside, Little Lin silently waved a fist, grinding teeth.

"Who will teach whom a lesson still remains to be seen. Once I master the Enchanting Spell, you’ll be the first ones I deal with, avenging Ziyue!"

As soon as Long Qingxuan and the others left, Xin Lin was overjoyed.

"Brother Jiang, you’re finally back. I heard that you..."

Upon saying this, Xin Lin’s eyes grew slightly red.

This time, she was truly upset; it wasn’t an act.

Jiang Qing just gave a little smile, his eyes flickering with helplessness and indulgence.

"Little Lin, I made you worry. It’s all in the past now. During my absence, it seems you’ve caused quite a bit of trouble, even involving Star Academy."

Even though Jiang Qing was not in Purple Cloud City, his heart was entirely focused here.

Even during the toughest times, he kept someone informed about the happenings at Qingtian Academy.

He naturally heard about the disturbances at Qingtian Academy and was very worried about Xin Lin, so after the situation at Hei Yao Castle calmed down, ignoring his injuries and his parents’ objections, he rushed back to the Alchemy Hall.

Luckily, the Xin Lin in front of him was still lively and energetic.

Seeing her, seeing her mischievous smile, all the pain on his body seemed to vanish.
