Heaven Defying Medical Consort - Chapter 24
Chapter 24: First Meeting!
‘Pulling me out?’ Xiao Canglan sneered in his heart and glanced at them. “Since that’s the case, I won’t send you off.”
‘We don’t welcome you in the first place. Hurry up and leave!’
Hearing his words, everyone lowered their heads and frowned. ‘Xiao Canglan really knows how to play along. He directly asked us to go, but he has yet to answer our questions!’
“This King will not force you.” The voice came from the sky, and the person who wanted to stay could only smile.
“Yes,” they answered in unison. Only then did they straighten up, but they still didn’t dare to look directly at the airborne carriage.
They left in a hurry. It was as though Death would catch up to them if they were one step slower.
Everyone left, leaving only Xiao Muling, Xiao Canglan, and Luo Xuanshuang in the courtyard.
“Who else hasn’t left,” the voice asked again. His tone was much worse than before.
Luo Xuanshuang glanced at Xiao Muling and knew that he wouldn’t be able to ask her anything today. “Of course, I have to leave. I will pay my respects to the Regent next time.”
He then turned around and left.
Some distance away from the courtyard, He Qin and the other experts from Archean Spirit Kingdom couldn’t help but stop and look at the gorgeous and noble carriage on the horizon.
“What is the Regent doing here?”
“It can’t possibly be that simple!”
“Could it be that he wants to ask about Xiao Canglan’s Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox privately?”
“That’s the only reason. The matter of the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox is such a big deal. It’s normal for the Regent to come.”
…
They nodded as they spoke.
There was no other possibility except for this. It was highly possible that he was here for the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox.
“If that’s the case, if Xiao Canglan doesn’t tell him about the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox and treats His Highness—the Regent—the same way he treated us just now, then the Xiao family…”
“Xiao Canglan isn’t stupid. Why would he do that to the Regent?”
“However, Xiao Canglan might not tell him about the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox. Look at how resolute he was just now.”
“If that’s the case, then he… will no longer be able to get help from the Regent! The Xiao family would also soon face a great enemy!” The Regent wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
“What if he tells His Highness, the Regent?”
‘What if?’ Everyone was stunned for a moment before laughing.
If he admitted it and the Regent came to ask personally, how could Xiao Canglan not hand that person over?
That was a summoner who could summon an ancient divine beast. Such a summoner had never appeared in Archean Spirit Kingdom before.
With such a person appearing, the Xiao family would only perish more quickly!
“Everyone, we’re still in the Xiao family residence.” Luo Xuanshuang walked over and glanced at the guards not too far away. ‘Aren’t they worried that they won’t be able to walk out of this residence after saying all this about the Xiao family?’
The experts looked at Luo Xuanshuang and saw him walking out calmly.
Everyone coughed lightly and followed him out.
They were relieved to know what the Prince Regent was here for.
The Regent would never let the Xiao family off! After all, summoning an ancient divine beast was a threat to the Regent. How could he allow the Xiao family to continue living?
With the Regent taking care of this person, they no longer had to worry.
Luo Xuanshuang walked forward in silence, his eyes already surging with waves of anger. ‘If the Xiao family really has a person who summoned an ancient divine beast, such a person can’t be left alive! The declining Xiao family is waiting for the fate of disappearing, never to rise again! The Regent must’ve appeared to resolve this matter. It would be great if he could resolve them!’
Now, only Xiao Muling and Xiao Canglan were left. They looked at the carriage in the sky, and Xiao Canglan felt even more uneasy.
Ever since he found out about the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, the uneasiness in his heart had never waned.
“Prince Regent, they are all gone. If you are here for the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox like them, then I’m sorry, we don’t know either.” Xiao Muling took the initiative to speak. The premonition in her heart told her that it was best not to admit anything. ‘Don’t admit that you’ve seen the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, don’t admit that you know about this matter, and don’t admit that you might be the one who summoned it.’
Even though this person hadn’t asked her about the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox since he arrived, she refused to believe that he didn’t know about it.
Since he knew about it, why did he still come at this time?
“Ling’er?” Xiao Canglan looked over. ‘How does she know?’
“Luo Xuanshuang asked me.” Fortunately, there was a Luo Xuanshuang to carry the pot. Otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to explain it.
‘That b*stard really came for this!’ Xiao Canglan’s face darkened, and he immediately cursed Luo Xuanshuang several times in his heart!
“Miss Xiao has nothing else to say to me?” The voice sounded more lazy and relaxed, no longer as domineering as before.
Xiao Muling felt the change in his tone and the gradual weakening of the surrounding pressure. She was puzzled. ‘Anything else? What do I have to say to a person I met for the first time?’
“What do I have to say to the Regent?” Xiao Muling asked warily.
As her question fell, no other sound came from inside the carriage. For a moment, there was silence.
This silence was creepy.
Xiao Canglan was also very puzzled. ‘This is Ling’er’s first time meeting the Regent, but… Why do I have the illusion that the Regent is here to collect debts?
‘Bah! What debts! This is the first time Ling’er has seen him!’
“Family Leader Xiao.” After a long time, a voice sounded from inside the carriage.
Xiao Muling and Xiao Canglan looked over with the same seriousness in their eyes. ‘What is he going to say again?’
“I heard that the Xiao family’s Eldest Young Lady was unable to train. I’m really curious; I wonder if you can let me take Young Lady Xiao away for a period of time.”
Xiao Canglan and Xiao Muling were stunned. ‘Isn’t the topic changing too quickly?’
“Prince Regent, I will not trouble you with my daughter’s matters.” Xiao Canglan lowered his eyelids. ‘Who knows why he wants to bring Ling’er along. Strange… He isn’t here for the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox? Ever since he came here, he hasn’t even mentioned anything about the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox.’
Xiao Muling also suspected the Regent’s motive for coming here. Since he was here, it was time to talk about the ancient divine beast. However, he had yet to say anything about it. How could he tolerate this!?
“I just want to see if I can find a way for Miss Xiao to train. Don’t you want your daughter to grow?” The Regent’s words were neither light nor heavy. Although his words were blocked by the power of Spirit Martial Arts and not everyone could hear them, those with a certain level of strength could hear them!
Luo Xuanshuang, He Qin, and the others—who were about to leave Xiao Mansion—suddenly stopped in their tracks. They turned to look at the sky, and thunderclaps echoed in their ears!
