Everyone looked away in shock.
Don’t ask.
She simply wanted to beat up Elder Qiu.
Wei Liulang stood at the door and asked, “Dad, is it a little unnecessary for you to stay here?”
Wei Xu wanted to say, “We can still be father and son if you don’t speak.”
The Palace Lord cleared her throat. “Thank you, Elder Qiu. I’ll go see how the children are.”
Wei Xu also stood up. “Did Xiaohu cry just now?”
Palace Lord replied, “I think so.”
Wei Liulang looked around in confusion and scratched his head. “Really? Didn’t
Xiaohu fall asleep long ago… Hiss—I’
He was poked in the stomach by Wei Ting’s elbow.
He looked at his stinky brother resentfully. “Little Seven, what are you doing?
“Saving you.”
Wei Ting pulled Wei Liulang away.
Wei Liulang struggled. “No, let me see how the Heart Guide is used. It wasn’t easy for me to have a chance. Hey, hey, hey—”
Wei Xu also helped drag this unfilial son into the carriage.
Elder Qiu was a physician and an old friend of Granny Nie. He would not joke about Granny Nie’s life.
Since he asked them to let go, he was confident that he could stabilize Granny Nie’s injuries.
“Shall I go out too?”
Su Xiaoxiao asked Elder Qiu.
Elder Qiu said, “Leave that thing behind.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the blood pressure gauge in her hand and blinked innocently.
Another thing was going to be stolen…
After the group left, Wei Xu said to his daughter-in-law, “Xiaoxiao, it’s almost dawn. Go and sleep for a while. You still have to go to the City Lord Manor for the banquet tomorrow.”
The Palace Lord said, “That’s right, Xiaoxiao. You can’t tire yourself out.”
As she spoke, she looked at Wei Ting, Wei Liulang, and Jing Yi. “And the few of you, hurry up and rest. Go back to the Hundred Flowers Palace first. General Wei and I will stay behind in case of emergencies.”
A few juniors could not help with Granny Ghost’s situation. Instead of wasting time here, it was better to go back and recuperate to deal with the full month banquet tomorrow.
The few of them still knew the severity of the matter and boarded the carriage back to the Hundred Flowers Palace.
The Palace Lord turned to look at the closed door and asked softly, “It should be fine, right?”
Wei Xu nodded and paused. He frowned and asked, “How long does it take for ordinary people to learn the Heart Guide?”
The Palace Lord said uncertainly, “Three… five years? Ten… eight years?” Wei Xu was dumbfounded.
Elder Qiu had just learned the Heart Guide and had never tried it, but he was bold.
Regardless of what happened, he would first introduce a trace of the strange qi in Granny Nie’s body into his body. Then, he would dress up and use various methods.
At most, he would vomit blood and be injured. He would continue in another way.
To put it in a more graphic way, he had stabbed himself 49 times before finding the right place by the time he figured it out.
Elder Qiu said, “Alright, it’s fine now.”
The corners of Granny Nie’s mouth twitched.
Only now?
What was he doing just now?
Even if the Nie family’s ancestor crawled out of his grave, he did not dare to say that he had only read the secret manual once.
In the evening, the door opened.
The Palace Lord, Wei Xu, and Xiao Ruyan, who had also come over to wait, immediately looked into the room.
Considering that she was Xiao Ruyan’s mother-in-law after all, the Palace Lord and Wei Xu waited at the door for the time being.
Xiao Ruyan entered the room first.
“Mother!”
Before the person arrived, the voice arrived first.
Granny Nie was no longer sitting on the futon on the ground. Instead, she lay calmly on the clean bed.
Her pale face had regained some color, and her breathing was not so chaotic.
“Madam Nie, I’m coming in,” the Palace Lord said.
“Palace Lord, please come in,” Xiao Ruyan said.
The Palace Lord came to the bed and used her internal energy to check Granny Nie’s pulse. She said to Xiao Ruyan, “Your mother-in-law is fine. She just expended a lot of energy. She has to recuperate carefully for a period of time in the future. ”
Xiao Ruyan’s heart finally relaxed. She turned to look at Elder Qiu. “Thank you,
Elder Qiu… Eh? Where is Elder Qiu?”
Wei Xu sighed. “He’s gone.”
Just now, she had only been focused on looking at her mother-in-law. Only now did she realize that Elder Qiu was no longer in the house.
The next day was the one-month-old banquet of the City Lord and Madam Ru’s son. All the famous people on Thousand Mountain Island had received the invitation, and Heavenly Jade Hall was naturally no exception.
Thanks to the medicine Chu Feifeng had obtained from “Granny Ghost” through Lu Aotian, Ji Minglou’s injuries had almost recovered.
Chu Feifeng obtained Madam Ji’s trust and favor again.
Madam Ji decided to bring her along for tomorrow’s one-month-old banquet.
In a side hall of the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance, Jiang Guanchao sat on a chair. Beside him was the invitation to the City Lord’s Mansion’s one-month-old banquet. In front of him were Ning Rufeng, who was in a sorry state, and Sixth Brother’s tragic corpse.
The other disciples of the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance who had been injured knelt behind the two of them and listened to Jiang Guanchao’s decision.
Qi Yao, You Ming, Chen Yu, and Liu Zhen’er stood on both sides of the hall.
Jiang Guanchao’s dignified gaze swept across everyone. “So many disciples of the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance haven’t caught a Rakshasa?”
Ning Rufeng lowered his head. “I’m incompetent. Please punish me, Master.”
Liu Zhen’er asked, “Eighth Junior Brother, did Sixth Senior Brother die at the hands of the Rakshasa? Is he actually so cruel to his fellow disciples?”
Ning Rufeng opened his mouth. “Not Rakshasa.”
Chen Yu asked, “Who was it?”
Ning Rufeng mustered his courage and glanced at his master. Seeing that his master had no intention of stopping him, he braced himself and replied, “It’s Rakshasa’s brother.”
Chen Yu and Liu Zhen’er were shocked and said in unison, “He has a brother?” Last time at the foot of the cliff, the two of them had actually met Su Mo.
However, when Su MO revealed his ident.i.ty to his Eldest Senior Brother, the two of them had already gone up.
You Ming was very calm.
Chen Yu asked, “Eldest Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, did you know long ago?”
You Ming sneered.
Eldest Senior Brother Qi Yao paused and said, “The young man who fought with me at the foot of the cliff that day was his brother.”
Jiang Guanchao’s gaze moved away from his sixth disciple’s corpse and landed on You Ming’s face. “You Ming, did you discover anything from your trip to the Nie family?”
You Ming said, “Rakshasa’s Heart Guide was resolved by Granny Ghost.” Qi Yao, Ning Rufeng, and the others were shocked.
Chen Yu said in a daze, “How can this be… How can Granny Ghost help
Rakshasa unseal his heart? Rakshasa doesn’t know Granny Ghost…’
Liu Zhen’er also said, “That’s right. Moreover, isn’t there no solution to the Heart Guide? Third Senior Brother, don’t be mistaken!” You Ming couldn’t be bothered to explain to them.
Jiang Guanchao clenched the armrest. “Chen Yu.”
Chen Yu cupped his hands and bowed. “Disciple is here.”
Jiang Guanchao said in a low voice, “Have you found anything?”
Chen Yu said seriously, “I just heard this morning that Wei Xu is hiding in the Hundred Flowers Palace.”
Liu Zhen’er frowned. “Has Rakshasa colluded with that group of outsiders at the Hundred Flowers Palace?”
Jiang Guanchao looked at the invitation beside him.
Chen Yu followed his master’s gaze and read his body language. He suggested,
“I heard that the City Lord has issued a City Lord’s order this time, asking the Hundred Flowers Palace to attend the banquet.”
Jiang Guanchao picked up the invitation and said slowly, “Is that so? Qi Yao.”
Qi Yao cupped his hands and said, “I’m here.”
Jiang Guanchao instructed meaningfully, “Get someone to prepare a generous gift. Tomorrow, I’m going to congratulate the City Lord Manor for the full month..”
