Heaven Defying Medical Consort - Chapter 29

Chapter 29: She Did It?

“Xiao Ze.” Xiao Muling looked over and frowned. ‘He appeared here?’

‘Xiao Ze?’ Xiao Yi—who had just entered the room—turned around and held the door handle.

“Xiao Muling, what are you doing in the Hidden Pavilion?” When Xiao Ze saw Xiao Muling, he instantly relaxed.

He didn’t leave; instead, he walked in and closed the door of the building. His tone was extremely rude.

Looking at Xiao Muling, he snorted in disdain. ‘How could a piece of trash like her have the cheek to come to the Hidden Pavilion? Will she even be able to understand these Spiritual Arts if they were placed in front of her?’

With her hands behind her back, Xiao Muling looked at him with a cold smile. “It’s not strange that I’m in the Hidden Pavilion, but it’s strange that you’re here.”

The person who should’ve been severely injured and lying on the bed was now here. If he were to use a hundred iron rods, he would indeed be able to recover very well. However, he wouldn’t be able to recover so quickly.

Archean Spirit Kingdom didn’t have such good medicine.

Now that he was standing here, it meant that the four elders didn’t tell their father about the matter and asked him to punish the father and son pair.

Crossing her arms in front of her chest, Xiao Muling laughed even more sarcastically.

That day, Xiao Jian ran over angrily. She thought that the matter had already started to be resolved, but it turned out that it had never started.

When Xiao Ze heard this, his expression immediately became unhappy. Then, he strode over and said angrily, “Xiao Muling, you can’t wait for me to be punished, right? Are you happy that I’m half-dead according to the clan rules?”

He would have to lie down for at least three months if they were to use those hundred metal rods!

Three months!

For those three months, he could only recuperate in bed and couldn’t do anything. This was a very painful thing for cultivators!

Furthermore, in the Xiao family, if one didn’t cultivate for such a long time, how many people would rush to the top and how many people would not be able to catch up!?

She, Xiao Muling, had such a vicious heart. She actually made the father and son become like this!

“It seems that he wasn’t punished.” Xiao Muling walked to the side and sat down. ‘No punishment. Those family elders protected them to this extent, but did they ever think about the consequences they would face?’

She was still thinking about how to deal with these elders and make Xiao Liangxiao lose their protection, but instead, they came to her.

Xiao Muling looked at him with a smile.

Being looked at by her like this, Xiao Ze’s scalp went numb. But at the thought that there were only the two of them, there was nothing he couldn’t say. Hence, he walked over.

“The elders have no intention of punishing us for a piece of trash like you.” Xiao Ze snorted and raised his chin.

His father and Xiao Liangxiao weren’t punished either. The elders had said that punishing the three of them for a piece of trash wasn’t worth it!

The elders only said that Elder Xiao Yi knew about this matter. Anyway, they didn’t tell anyone about the punishment, so it didn’t matter if others knew.

‘A long time ago, I told her that the strong are respected in this world. Did she think that we would be punished if she went to the elders? Putting aside the fact that the elders would ignore her, Xiao Liangxiao is such a genius. How could the elders punish her? If they didn’t punish Xiao Liangxiao, she would plead for us, and we would be fine.’ Thinking of this, Xiao Ze became even more pleased.

He stood proudly in front of Xiao Muling and said, “Do you know why? It’s because Xiao Liangxiao is in our family. Even if you are a direct descendant, you are still useless.”

When Xiao Muling heard those two words, the smile in her eyes disappeared bit by bit. Cold light interweaved in her eyes.

She slowly stood up as the power of her Martial Spirit condensed in her hand.

Intense fluctuations surged in the air, but Xiao Ze couldn’t see them. After all, even Xiao Muling—the owner of this power—could only see its fluctuations and nothing else.

“Why? Are you not convinced? You’ve been called trash for so many years, and now you know how to be angry? Didn’t you not care at all in the past?” After saying that, Xiao Ze laughed mockingly. ‘The good-for-nothing also knows how to care. In the past, she had never cared about others calling her this. If she cared, she would’ve left the Xiao family’s residence long ago. How could she be so shameless as to stay here!?’

Xiao Muling sneered. She quickly gathered her strength and clenched her fist.

The air around her fist instantly shattered!

Boom!

With her as the center, a powerful force broke through the surroundings and lashed out at Xiao Ze!

Caught off-guard, Xiao Ze was sent flying by this force!

The residual energy waves swept out, and he rolled on the ground several times before stopping.

Hands covered the spot where the force had hit him. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and a look of fear crossed his face.

‘How is this possible? Isn’t Xiao Muling unable to cultivate? Where did this power come from?’ Xiao Ze raised his head and looked around the Hidden Pavilion. ‘Could it be that there’s a hidden force in the Hidden Pavilion? Is it the one that suppresses us and makes us unable to ascend to a higher floor?! Damn it! Even this power is protecting Xiao Muling?’

He cursed under his breath, grinding his teeth.

“Xiao Muling, even the power in the Hidden Pavilion is protecting you. You are also a piece of trash. When Liangxiao becomes a Summoner, she will become the Xiao family’s eldest daughter and eventually the Xiao family’s head. You are only fit to kneel at her feet and beg!” Xiao Ze roared furiously. His eyes were red as he glared at Xiao Muling.

‘How could a piece of trash receive the protection of so many people! Family Elder Xiao Yi is also on her side and has spoken up for her!’

“Really?” Before Xiao Muling could do anything, the door was opened heavily. A low and rough voice sounded, and the tone was filled with suppressed anger!

Xiao Ze’s expression was malevolent. He was about to reply when Xiao Yi’s figure came into view.

His face changed, and his body went limp.

“Are you mute after seeing me?” Initially, Xiao Yi had wanted to come out to listen to what was going on, but who would’ve thought that he would hear all of this!

‘Xiao Liangxiao becoming the Xiao family’s leader?’ Xiao Yi walked over slowly, and the aura of the expert became stronger.

The air churned violently like boiling water!

Xiao Ze couldn’t say a word. The moment he saw Xiao Yi, his mind went blank.

Under the strong pressure, his face was as pale as paper. He looked at Xiao Yi as if he had seen a ghost.

“Xiao, Elder Xiao Yi…” He cried out incoherently, unable to say another word.

“Elder Xiao Yi, can’t you wait for me to resolve the matter before coming out?” Xiao Muling said coldly.

Looking at her like this, Xiao Ze felt that death was looming over him for some reason.

“Resolve?” Xiao Yi couldn’t help asking. ‘There was a sudden commotion outside. Was that… her? But when I was in the room, I didn’t see any fluctuations of Martial Spirit power from her body. I only saw the sudden explosion of power.’

“I won’t do anything else.” By the time she finished speaking, Xiao Muling was already in front of Xiao Ze. She bent down and grabbed his chin.

With a gentle pull, the sound of his jaw dislocating rang out. Immediately after, she clenched her fist and smashed it into his face!
