Heaven Defying Medical Consort - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: The Best Is At The Top!

‘He… I have never seen him before, but the aura he exudes feels familiar.’

“You’re the elder guarding the Hidden Pavilion?” Xiao Muling heard that a special elder guarded the Hidden Pavilion. If she didn’t get permission to enter, she would also be thrown out.

That figure walked over and stopped in front of her, staring at her. “I thought you could recognize me.”

The voice sounded very familiar.

Xiao Muling sized him up, surprise flashing in the depths of her eyes. “So it’s Elder Xiao Yi.”

At that time, he said something so far away that she almost couldn’t remember.

Since he was one of the family elders, he wasn’t the person guarding the treasure house.

Although his temples were gray, he didn’t look old. Instead, he looked very energetic. It seemed that all cultivators were like this.

“What do you want to see today? I’ll help you find it.” Seeing that she didn’t care, Xiao Yi walked forward with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Muling was even more surprised when she heard this. ‘Help me?’

She walked over and continued, “I’ll do it myself.”

Although Xiao Yi only said one sentence for her that day, it was precisely because of that sentence that those elders gave up on punishing her. Because of this, Xiao Muling didn’t ignore him.

If the other four family elders were here, Xiao Muling would definitely ignore them.

“The Xiao family’s eight best attribute martial techniques are all on the top floor of this building. But apart from your father and us old fellows, nobody else from the Xiao family can go up to that floor.” Xiao Yi spoke as if he didn’t care if Xiao Muling would listen or not. Or perhaps he knew that Xiao Muling would definitely listen as long as he said it.

While raising her head, Xiao Muling’s expression became profound. ‘The best is at the top! If that’s the case, I shall just go straight to the top and not waste too much time.’

“Elder, I heard from my father that the Xiao family’s current situation is similar to being surrounded on all sides. I wonder which side is the most serious?” Since he had already offered to help, she wouldn’t stand on ceremony. ‘There should also be people that these people fear. Otherwise, they would’ve long made a move on the Xiao family. Before I leave, I want to help Father resolve this.’

Xiao Yi looked back with a puzzled expression. “Xiao Canglan told you this?”

“If I ask Father, he will naturally tell me.” Her father naturally didn’t tell her about these things, but when so many experts rushed into Xiao Mansion, she understood.

Since someone had summoned the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox above the Xiao Mansion, they were worried that it was someone from the Xiao family who would pose a threat to them. Hence, they couldn’t sit still and ran over to Xiao Mansion.

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly in agreement. ‘Indeed, Xiao Canglan gives her whatever she wants as long as it isn’t dangerous.’

“Your father didn’t tell you the worst. Why are you asking me?” Xiao Yi said and chuckled.

Xiao Muling stopped and looked at him. “Elder said that you would help me just now.”

Xiao Yi stopped and shook his head silently. ‘This little girl is indeed smart. I have seen her four times since she was born. The first two times were when she was born, and the other time was when she was a child. She was different from the rumors the two times I’ve seen her after that.’

“It’s the He family.” He had a feeling that telling her this might be the right thing to do. It was said that he had always been fair at home, but he knew that he was biased.

He naturally thought better of those with high talent, but he was more inclined toward the direct line of descent. It was just that the direct line only had one Xiao Canglan now. But after seeing Xiao Muling’s attitude today and thinking about that prophecy, perhaps his heart would be a little biased.

‘The He family?’

“He Qin wants to take away the Xiao family’s ‘Summoning Clan’ title the most. Their family has already produced three Summoners.”

In He Qin’s opinion, the He family was more capable of becoming a Summoner family than the Xiao family.

‘He Qin?’ Xiao Muling recalled the overbearing person that day, and she remembered that Luo Xuanshuang had called him He Qin.

He was the He Family Head. From the aura he exuded, he was also a Summoner.

The He family had three Summoners.

Xiao Muling clenched her fists slightly, and her gaze became even more serious. “The level of these three Summoners shouldn’t be able to surpass Father.”

‘Otherwise, they would’ve long made a move on the Xiao family.’

“It’s only temporary. He Qin should catch up to your father soon.” This was what they were most worried about.

“So you want the talented Xiao Liangxiao to become a Summoner as soon as possible.”

Summoning at the Realm of Summoning would be much faster than training in the Xiao family.

Xiao Muling retracted her gaze indifferently and glanced at the stairs at the side before walking up.

Seeing her walk up, Xiao Yi quickly stopped her. “Xiao Muling, I’m not telling you to go up. It’s too dangerous for you to go up. This second floor…” You can’t go up.

Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Yi saw Xiao Muling walk up to the second floor easily!

Upon seeing this, he hurriedly took a step forward, and his eyes nearly popped out. ‘How… How is this possible!? She doesn’t have the aura or the strength to cultivate, and those unable to cultivate are unable to ascend to the second floor. Can she… cultivate now? But she clearly doesn’t have the aura of a cultivator!’

Under Xiao Yi’s gaze, Xiao Muling walked up slowly.

Third floor, fourth floor, fifth floor, sixth floor…

Xiao Muling walked up step by step. When she reached the stairs to the seventh floor, she stopped.

There was a powerful force above her head. She could feel it the moment she arrived here.

At this moment, she knew why almost nobody in the Xiao family could reach the top. However, she had already reached the sixth floor.

The top floor was right in front of her, and she wanted to go up and take a look.

Xiao Muluing circulated her power expressionlessly, and layers of ripples appeared around her body, dispelling the power that was enveloping her.

Xiao Yi followed her up. Seeing that she was still going to the seventh floor, he quickly stopped her. “Xiao Muling, don’t be rash.”

He was already very shocked when he saw Xiao Muling walk straight up to the sixth floor. After all, even Xiao Liangxiao had reached the fifth floor only.

There was no cultivation aura on Xiao Muling’s body. Not only did a person who couldn’t cultivate walk up to the sixth floor, but she also wanted to go to the seventh floor!

Xiao Muling looked back at him and continued walking forward.

The slender figure walked up the stairs to the seventh floor step by step. Every step she took was extremely light and graceful as if she didn’t feel the pressure around her!

To Xiao Muling, the power that enveloped her was nothing!

Under Xiao Yi’s gaze, she walked straight to the seventh floor. After she reached the seventh floor, she looked around and walked further in!

Petrified, Xiao Yi watched her walk up to the seventh floor with his mouth twitching. ‘Why?’

‘Why?’

‘Why?!’

Countless questions filled his mind. ‘The five of us could barely make it to the seventh floor, but Xiao Muling looks like she’s walking on flat ground! She’s not even panting!’
