What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? novel Chapter 275

【Moments later, the cries drew the disciples of Yellow Springs View to the scene.】

When Xiao Yinjian saw Du Butong’s tragic death, his face turned pale. No matter what, Du Butong was still his eldest disciple—how could he die within the sect’s grounds just like that?

Suddenly, Xiao Yinjian’s expression shifted, and he rushed up the mountain to check on Ye Yu, who was confined. To his surprise, Ye Yu was not only alive and well but had also inexplicably advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.

What was going on?

Perplexed, Xiao Yinjian brought Ye Yu down to examine Du Butong’s corpse.

“Did you see your senior brother tonight or hear anything?” Xiao Yinjian asked.

Ye Yu, also surprised to find Du Butong dead, thought to himself, Wasn’t the side effect supposed to just deplete his meridians? How did it end up killing him?

Quickly gathering his composure, Ye Yu replied, “Yes, Senior Brother visited me earlier, exchanged a few words, and left shortly after. Other than that, I know nothing.”

Xiao Yinjian frowned. “Even as a demonic sect, we strictly forbid harming fellow disciples! Are you certain it was just a casual chat?”

“Absolutely!” Ye Yu replied firmly. Honest to heaven, though Du Butong’s death was indirectly related to him, no one would ever be able to link it back to him.

With a grim expression, Xiao Yinjian ordered, “Old Qian, check the cause of death for Du Butong.”

A portly, bald man stepped forward, pressing a hand over Du Butong’s chest. A faint glow pulsed, and watching this, Ye Yu nearly laughed out loud.

Over his two years at Yellow Springs View, he’d come to know the elders well. The man before him was Qian Xingwan, the head of the pill hall. If Du Butong hadn’t lied, the Nine Heavens Creation Pill was concocted by this very man. Who better to determine the cause of death?

Sure enough, within two breaths, Qian Xingwan frowned and muttered, “No spiritual energy... meridians shattered? Could it be... that?”

“What are you mumbling about?” Xiao Yinjian demanded impatiently.

Looking embarrassed, Qian Xingwan replied, “Elder, earlier today, Du Butong requested a bottle of Nine Heavens Creation Pills from me, saying it was for an experiment. I didn’t think much of it and gave it to him. Judging by my examination, he probably consumed the entire bottle. The overdose caused his spiritual energy to surge uncontrollably, shattering his meridians and resulting in death.”

Qian Xingwan’s voice trailed off to a barely audible murmur.

Xiao Yinjian’s face flushed with anger. Drawing his sword, he lunged at Qian Xingwan, who quickly turned to flee, shouting, “How was I supposed to know your disciple would be foolish enough to take the whole bottle? This isn’t my fault!”

Xiao Yinjian roared, “Do you just hand over pills when someone asks for them? Then I’ll take your life!”

Ye Yu was exasperated. If he’s dying, just let him die. What’s the point of watching? Is it going to stop him from dying? And since when does ‘prominent disciple’ include Foundation Establishment stage cultivators?
