Chapter 901: The Heaven-Defying Fourth Brother
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After the three little ones took a bath, they rubbed against Su Xiaoxiao’s arms one by one and asked for a kiss. Only then did they bring their chicks to the courtyard to get to play with Xi Yue.
Su Xiaoxiao was ashamed of the big mistake she had made, but she would not admit it.
“Ahem, Second Sister-in-law, what’s wrong with these chicks?”
She asked seriously.
Li Wan smiled and said, “I brought them to the market today. When they saw those chicks, they suddenly couldn’t walk anymore and picked one each to bring back.”
Su Xiaoxiao thought of the horse market in town. The three little fellows couldn’t walk anymore when they saw the foal.
This was the confused behavior of a human cub.
Wei Qing pushed the wheelchair over and whispered to Li Wan, “I’ll take care of the child. Go rest for a while.”
“I’m not tired,” Li Wan said.
Wei Qing smiled dotingly. “You’ve been busy all day. My heart aches.”
Li Wan glared at him. Sister-in-law was still here!
This sudden display of affection…
Su Xiaoxiao thought of Wei Ting. Why didn’t that guy learn any flirting skills from his brother?
“Whoa!”
The sound of Ghostfear practicing martial arts came from the backyard. Su Xiaoxiao seemed to understand who Wei Ting took after in this aspect.
“Second Brother, how have you been these past few days?”
Su Xiaoxiao asked about serious matters.
Half a year was up, and Wei Qing’s condition could worsen at any time.
“I’m fine,” Wei Qing said. “Wanwan, I’m a little thirsty.”
Li Wan hurriedly said, “I’ll get you some water.”
Wei Qing said warmly, “I want to drink the honey flower tea you make.”
“Okay.” Li Wan put down the half-sewn pouch and stood up to go into the house to make tea.
Su Xiaoxiao knew that he had deliberately sent Li Wan away. She had a guess. “Are you starting to feel unwell?”
Wei Qing smiled. “It’S still better than before.”
Su Xiaoxiao took Wei Qing’S pulse.
Yesterday, Wei Qing’s pulse was quite stable. After a day and night, his pulse began to feel weak.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “You should be able to last a few more days. We’ve already obtained the Snake Bone Flower and it’s about to bloom. Second Brother, endure it a little longer.”
Wei Qing smiled and said, “I’m fine.”
It would only be a few days. When the Snake Bone Flower bloomed, she would be able to concoct Wei Qing’s antidote.
She looked at the closed door and said, “How’s Dad?”
Wei Qing sighed. “It fluctuates. When he’s lucid, he can recognize Xi Yue. When he’s not clear, he doesn’t know anyone. The few of us can’t get close to him at all, but the children can calm Dad down.” It seemed that Wei Xu’S withdrawal reaction was very serious.
Thinking about it, it made sense. The Holy Maiden Temple had given Wei Xu medicine for five years, but they could not completely control him and even increased the dosage.
His withdrawal reaction should be the most serious among all the puppet experts.
Wei Qing suddenly asked, “Is the Snake Bone Flower also useful to Dad?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Why do you ask?”
Wei Qing a.n.a.lyzed, “The Saintess wouldn’t transplant the Snake Bone Flower to her bedroom for no reason. She personally guarded this Snake Bone Flower, so it must be of great use. I can’t think of anyone else she can use it on.”
Su Xiaoxiao paused. “I saw records about the Snake Bone Flower in the Book Storage Pavilion yesterday. It does have a certain effect on internal injuries.”
Wei Qing opened his mouth.
Su Xiaoxiao raised her hand. “Stop, do you want to give the Snake Bone Flower to Dad?”
Wei Qing laughed. “The prescription given by Sai Huatuo might not be reliable. I might not be saved. Instead of…
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Instead of betting on whether you can live, why don’t you give it to Dad?
Anyway, it must be useful to him. Were you planning to say this? Then let me tell you what I think.
“First of all, I believe in Sai Huatuo. It’s not only because I’m sure that he’s not lying, but because I’ve indeed read many medical books and know the medicinal properties of every herb like the back of my hand. I’m sure that the prescription is correct.
“Secondly, the Snake Bone Flower is a life-saving medicine for you. To Father, it’s not an irreplaceable medicine. Without the Snake Bone Flower, his injuries might not completely recover, but if you lose the Snake Bone Flower… you will lose your life.
“I’m a physican. I save the dying and heal the injured. I save the dying before healing the injured.”
Wei Qing smiled helplessly.
This girl was indeed not an ordinary woman.
Ordinary people would at least be conflicted. Her thoughts had been clear from the beginning and she would not be influenced by anyone.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I’ll return this thing to you.” Wei Qing took out a small DOX from the secret compartment under the wheelchair and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao.
It was Emperor Wu’s relic found in the secret room at Broken North Pa.s.s.
Su Xiaoxiao handed it to Wei Qing the last time and asked him to think of a way to open it or ask Wei Xu if he could open it.
Why didn’t she hand this responsibility to Ghostfear, Wei Liulang, or Wei Ting? Wasn’t it because the three of them were always asking for a beating?
Before they could hand over the box, they would be sent flying by Wei Xu’s punch.
Wei Qing said, “Before Dad recovers his senses, I’m afraid he won’t be able to open this box.”
Su Xiaoxiao sighed and took the small box. “Alright, I’ll put it away first. Speaking of which, is Dad a descendant of Emperor Wu?”
Wei Qing shook his head and said, “It’s hard to say, but even if Dad is, I believe he doesn’t have the ambition to restore the country and unify the world.”
Su Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully, “Dad doesn’t have it, but the King and the Saintess do. If they spread the news that Dad is the descendant of Emperor Wu, they can more or less command a portion of the heroes in the world.”
Wei Qing nodded in agreement with her guess. “Do you know who will be the first to suffer if the Southern Wilderness really rises and restores the country?”
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. “The Great Zhou?”
Wei Qing said, “That’s right. The Southern Wilderness is connected to the Great Zhou. If they want to vie for supremacy in the world, they have to use the Great Zhou as a stepping stone. The Su family army guarding the south of the Great Zhou will bear the brunt and will be the first batch of souls to die under the blades of the Southern Wilderness. The Southern Wilderness will bleed all the soldiers and the Su family to obtain the flag of the southern border.”
No wonder the Head of the Secret Service paid so much attention to the movements in the southern border and even developed his intelligence organization to the capital of the Southern Wilderness.
That was not right. How old was the Head of the Secret Service?
It would take years to develop these forces, right?
How did he see through the ambitions of the Southern Wilderness so early?
Was he going against the heavens?
She was not curious. She was not curious about the Head of the Secret Service at all…
Wei Qing looked at her clenched fists and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Su Xiaoxiao had a serious expression. “I’m not curious!”
Wei Qing was speechless.
Wei Qing smiled and did not continue the topic. “Did you meet Little Seven at the Holy Mountain today?”
Speaking of the devil, Wei Ting had returned.
He walked out with a disregard for his family, as if he was showing off his male domineering aura.
Wei Qing smiled mischievously. “Where’s the outfit I spent a hundred taels of silver to buy for you? That’s an immortal dress that the seamstress took a month to make.”
Wei Ting’s face darkened.
Coincidentally, Li Wan came out with the flower tea.
Wei Ting took revenge on the spot. “Second Sister-in-law! Second Brother is hiding some money!”
Wei Qing was speechless..
