Yanyun, with her ruthless tactics, and friendly relations with up-and-coming Hunter Soldier Teams like Huangteng, backed by a Summoning Emperor Level powerhouse, all these factors combined caused Cang Lang to furrow his brow involuntarily.However, he had already stated his terms. If he were to take into account the power behind "Yanyun," once word got out, the Wolf Fang Hunting Corps might as well not bother trying to maintain their reputation in the underworld. "Vice Captain Yan, you’re a bit late. I’ve already settled the terms with Commander Yun. Also, this matter is a private affair between Wolf Fang and Tang Yu. I believe you wouldn’t want the Sky Hunting Corps to get involved in these muddy waters either," Cang Lang glanced at Yun Sheng and Tang Yu, aware that the two didn’t have much of a relationship. He thought that Yanyun probably wasn’t here to help Tang Yu. "Don’t worry, our Hunting Corps doesn’t have the time to clean up after that kid. Walking on the night road too much is bound to lead to trouble eventually," Yun Sheng originally had no intention to concern herself with Tang Yu’s affairs. She and the mother and son of the Tang Family had been at odds for a while; she didn’t even have the inclination to exchange an extra word with them. Only, she had the misfortune of discovering something interesting outside the Yun Residence. As long as Tang Yu was still a part of the Yun Residence, and Yun Sheng still had the Yun Family blood coursing through her veins, Tang Yu’s affairs couldn’t be disconnected from her. In dealing with the world, Yun Sheng has always focused on the matters, not the individuals involved. Thanks to the protection of a special Magic Array, the corpse of the hanged woman was still perfectly preserved. Her face looked so lifelike that if not for her icy-cold limbs, one could hardly tell that she had been dead for over ten days. When Yun Sheng first saw the state of the woman’s death, her revulsion towards Tang Yu only deepened. However, after taking a closer look at the woman in the coffin, she noticed a few anomalies. Although Yun Sheng was not a forensic doctor, she had seen many bodies during her medical studies, in the anatomy room of the university. There were naturally occurring deaths as well as those caused by various reasons, so she had some understanding of corpses. Generally, when a death occurs among the common folk on the Wuji Continent, and there is no specialized forensic doctor or forensic investigator, the local government will get involved in investigating the cause of death, then summon a doctor to confirm it. But because this incident involved the Martial Saint General Mansion, the government was also apprehensive. In the end, it was the family of the woman who summoned a doctor from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, speaking of which, it was quite coincidental, the one they summoned to determine the cause of the woman’s death was Cheng Sihai. After examining the woman’s body, Cheng Sihai conclusively determined that the woman had died by hanging herself. Yun Sheng also saw that the woman in the coffin had obvious ligature marks on her neck, and her face was discolored. She had also inquired with the woman’s family; when the woman was first discovered, her eyes were bulging, and her tongue was sticking out quite far—these are physiological traits of someone who has died by hanging. Yun Sheng was going to leave it at that when she accidentally discovered very faint and shallow marks on the woman’s hands that were laid flat. Looking at the color of the wounds, they were clearly inflicted before the woman’s death. Yun Sheng’s heart skipped a beat; she remembered that during a past autopsy class, her instructor had casually pointed to a body waiting to be autopsied and mentioned that it was a case disguised as a suicide but was actually a murder. Yun Sheng simply repeated her suspicions, "I also noticed that the place where the woman hanged herself to commit suicide was a banyan tree over three meters tall. There was nothing around for her to stand on, and she had no martial arts skills, so how could she have hanged herself?" "What do you mean by that? Are you suspecting Xian Yu was murdered?! The doctors from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion have personally confirmed the cause of her death. Do you think you’re more capable than the people from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion?" Liu Hao felt humiliated upon hearing Yun Sheng’s analysis and his face turned beet red. His fiancée had died a terrible death, and now people were questioning the cause. Meanwhile, the murderer Tang Yu was still at large, which made him increasingly angry the more he thought about it. "Whether it’s suicide or murder, all we need to do is to take a closer look at the corpse," Yun Sheng didn’t say much more, but it was implied she wanted to bring people to the Yun Residence to see for themselves. Cheng Sihai’s medical skills were good, but Yun Sheng did not believe he had the ability to be a forensic doctor. "No, Xian Yu is already dead. It’s not enough that Tang Yu, that animal, has humiliated her, now you people also want to desecrate her dead body!" Liu Hao outright refused, no matter what, to let Yun Sheng inspect Xian Yu’s corpse. The simple customs of Wuji Continent hold a respectful attitude towards the corpses of the deceased. The fact that Xian Yu’s body had not yet been buried was already humiliating enough, and if Yun Sheng were to perform an autopsy in front of everyone, it was something Liu Hao internally could not accept. "Second Uncle, you heard her; she also said that I didn’t harm that woman," Tang Yu originally thought Yun Sheng had come to kick him while he was down, but upon hearing what she said, he became elated and looked at Yun Sheng with much more approval, as if he had forgotten who had treated him like a beggar and chased him out when he was most destitute. "Shut up, if you speak one more word, I’ll make sure you can never speak again," Yun Sheng shot him a sharp glance. Intimidated, Tang Yu shivered. In the Yun Residence, Tang Yu was a law unto himself; doted on excessively by his mother, protected by his grandfather Yun Bahe, and indifferent treatment from his second uncle Yun Canglang had shaped his current behavior. Yun Sheng was probably the first person to ever speak to him in this tone. But Tang Yu could not talk back to her. He had seen Yun Sheng’s ferocity firsthand, and his mother had told him, her second uncle’s hand had been healed by this fearsome and formidable woman. Not only that but his mother also said her alchemy skills were also exceptional. It was said that the son of the elder from the Medicine Hall of Wuxuan Wuji Hall had offended this little demon and was consequently "poisoned" to death. Yun Sheng was unaware that outside her circle, besides being known for her excellent medical skills and as the Bloody Lolita, she also acquired the moniker Poison Doctor. Though Cang Lang and Huo Nu weren’t doctors, after hearing Yun Sheng’s analysis, it made sense to them too. However, Liu Hao was too emotional and refused to consent to an autopsy no matter what. "Vice Captain Yan, you’ve seen it, Liu Hao is stubborn. If he doesn’t want to, there’s nothing we can do to convince him. However, I do have a method that might calm both parties," Huo Nu stepped forward after seeing a group of men staring at each other without coming to a conclusion, playing the peacekeeper. Yun Sheng looked at Huo Nu and saw that she was beautiful and spoke appropriately. Being a mage and a woman, yet being acknowledged as an A-ranked hunter in the highly-martial-artist-valued Da Zhou Hunting Soldier World, she must either have outstanding magic or clever strategies. Sometimes, a woman can indeed play a different role from a man. "What is your plan, Vice Captain Huo?" Yun Sheng didn’t know her intention, so she went along with Huo Nu’s lead. "We’re all hunters, and when hunters talk business, there has only ever been one rule: whoever is stronger gets to make the decisions. Both Wolf Fang Hunting Corps and Sky Hunting Corps have representatives here. Why don’t we select three people and have a contest, best two out of three. Whichever side wins the most, we’ll let that side make the decision," Huo Nu chuckled, her captivating eyes lingering on Yun Canglang for a moment.
