The clamor gradually escalated into mutual accusations, and some even began to turn on Du Youqian.
"Mr. Baili, you were put in charge of leading the alchemy effort to develop a curative elixir. Months have passed. Momenan has been all but wiped out, and over ten percent of cultivators are already infected, yet you have nothing to show for it. Don't you think you owe everyone an explanation?"
"That's right. So much manpower and resources have been spent, yet for nothing. Surely no one's been lining their own pockets, right?" someone said with a sneer.
Another person added, "Mr. Baili, you look rather ill yourself. Don't tell me you're infected too?"
Du Youqian merely smiled at their accusations, offering no rebuttal.
Fang Hua couldn't bear to watch and was about to speak, but Du Youqian stopped her with a glance.
As for Jie Yu, who was also in attendance, she simply watched with a faint smile, enjoying Du Youqian's predicament.
