Heaven Defying Medical Consort - Chapter 25

Chapter 25: I’ll Wait For You

‘Train? Cultivate?’ Xiao Canglan simply couldn’t believe what he had heard. ‘He just said that he would bring Ling-er to… cultivate. This… This is different from what I had imagined!’

Xiao Muling was also very surprised, and she couldn’t understand this Regent. ‘He didn’t ask about the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox but asked me to cultivate? Why? What’s the reason? It can’t be decided just like that!’

For so many years, Xiao Muling couldn’t cultivate. She had also been in Archean Spirit Kingdom for so many years. Did the Regent have a sudden impulse today?

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Canglan said, “Prince Regent, this matter…”

“Are you worried that I will harm your daughter?” A voice came from the carriage, interrupting Xiao Canglan.

“Prince Regent must be joking,” Xiao Canglan said lightly.

With his strength, there was no need to use such a reason to harm Ling’er. However, he didn’t come here for the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox but for the matter of Ling’er’s cultivation. This was very strange.

“It won’t take too long. I will send her back a year later.”

‘One year?’ Xiao Canglan frowned. ‘He said so much just to make Ling’er come with him? Ordinarily, the Regent won’t speak so much on one matter. He has always given simple orders and won’t give anyone any chance to refute. But now, he is just asking us to consider carefully. The Regent has never been like this.’

He knew that Ling’er really wanted to cultivate just like everyone else, even if she had the most ordinary talent.

One year wasn’t considered long. If Ling’er had the chance to cultivate, it would naturally be good.

The person in the air didn’t seem to be in a hurry. Since Xiao Canglan did not reply, he didn’t rush him either.

Xiao Canglan also felt it, but this only deepened his doubts.

“Father…” Xiao Muling couldn’t help but say. She was still worried about him.

“Miss Xiao, don’t you want your father to be at ease? Or do you not care whether you can cultivate your talents or not?” Xiao Muling had just opened her mouth when the Regent’s voice reverberated through the air.

Xiao Muling looked over and pursed her lips. ‘Does he want to convince Father and let him hear that he can allow me to cultivate? After Father’s heart wavers, does he want to convince me again?’

“I’ll figure it out on my own.” She could already start cultivating, but she didn’t know what to tell her father. After all, her father would definitely be suspicious if he knew that she could suddenly cultivate.

“I thought Miss Xiao needed me, so I came here especially.” Xiao Muling heard the smile in his voice.

Xiao Muling didn’t speak. For some reason, she felt that this person could tell something.

Nobody had been able to tell that she could cultivate since the day she started. But facing the Regent, she was uncertain. ‘If I leave with him, I will be able to cultivate when I come back. Nobody would doubt me then. A year is indeed nothing. However, he isn’t doing this for the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox but for my cultivation. Isn’t that too strange? Or is it because I said that he wanted to figure a way out? As the Regent, there’s no need for this.’

“Ling’er, why don’t you give it a try?” Although Xiao Canglan wanted her to go, he still let her decide for herself. ‘This is Xiao Muling’s business, so she should decide for herself. The Regent—who normally won’t speak so patiently on a matter—is acting so abnormally today. There is definitely something… wrong! The Regent isn’t asking him but Ling’er! Although the Regent has been talking to me from the start, he has actually been asking Ling’er!

‘He asked Ling’er if she wanted to cultivate! He asked Ling’er if she wanted to go with him! He let Ling’er know that he didn’t come here for the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox but for her! That was why he had asked if Ling’er had anything to tell him.’ Xiao Canglan had mixed feelings as he thought about this.

Thinking about it this way, he felt that the Regent knew his Ling’er. But from what he knew, the two of them had never met.

“Ling’er?” Seeing that Xiao Muling didn’t speak, Xiao Canglan returned to his senses and looked at her.

Actually, it was good that she leave the Xiao family for the time being. Ever since the incident with the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, he had been worried.

Thinking of this made him angry. He didn’t know which b*stard summoned a magical beast near the Xiao Mansion or the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, an ancient divine beast.

If Xiao Canglan knew that the ‘b*stard’ he was referring to was his daughter, who knew what expression he would have.

However, he would never say that again. He would do everything he could to protect Xiao Muling.

Xiao Muling looked up into the sky. “Then, I’ll have to trouble Your Highness to give me a month. I’ll definitely go to the Regent’s residence in a month.”

Neither her father nor she herself could reject his suggestion.

Xiao Muling had no idea what his motives were, but she had to be on guard. But since this was an opportunity, she would make use of it.

The Regent had made such a suggestion to her father, and then she had gone with him. When she returned, she could cultivate. It would not only increase her prestige, but she would have a legitimate reason for being able to do so.

In the carriage, a man in black clothes with wide sleeves lowered his eyelids to hide the emotions in his eyes. The silver embroidery on his clothes was extremely exquisite, making the silver dragon embroidered on them seem lifelike!

He was wearing a half-mask, revealing the lower half of his face. His red lips curved into an almost invisible arc.

His cold temperament exuded a sense of alienation. Even though he had restrained his usual powerful aura, he still made people unable to raise their heads to look at him, nor did they dare to approach him!

“I’ll wait for you.” His lips parted, but he wasn’t surprised. It was as though he already knew her answer.

Even though he didn’t reveal his true appearance, his extraordinary bearing—as well as his flawless chin and outline—were sufficient for one to bring forth boundless imagination!

The stopped carriage headed toward the horizon as if it were heading toward the fiery-red sun.

The magnificent carriage disappeared into the fiery-red horizon, leaving behind a crisp ringing sound.

He Qin and the others stiffened. For some reason, they could hear the cold wind howling in their ears, and their bodies felt a chill.

‘Cultivate, cultivate…’

‘Cultivate!?’

‘The Regent came to Xiao Mansion for Xiao Muling? Not for the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox!?’

The matter of the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox had blown up, but the Regent didn’t care at all! They had thought that the Regent was here for the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, but it was only for Xiao Muling!

‘In that case, the Regent is telling us that he wants to interfere in the Xiao family’s affairs?’

“Xiao Canglan, good skill!” He Qin harrumphed and left with a wave of his sleeves.

The remaining people all had serious expressions as they walked out of Xiao Mansion without a word.

Luo Xuanshuang stared at the horizon. He subconsciously clenched his fists under his sleeves and frowned.

When he came back to his senses, the carriage had already disappeared. Feeling the pain in his hand, he looked down and opened his palm.

Looking at the red mark on his palm, Luo Xuanshuang had a complicated expression on his face. Pain came from his abdomen, and he felt his wound reopen.

He then frowned and left hurriedly.

While staring at the spot where the carriage disappeared, Xiao Muling’s gaze became deep.

Xiao Canglan took a step forward and spoke after some hesitation. “Ling’er, do you know the Regent?”
